"It's just ......" Song Tai paused for a moment and said: "If this "Legend of Shushan" has only one volume, once my bookstore prints and distributes it, it will be smashed by those scholars outside the door." ”

Luo Xin smiled dumbly, and took out two books in his arms, these two books were written by him at home in the past five days, although Luo Xin did not expect that the first volume of "The Biography of Shushan" would really sell fifty taels, but he thought that his own book should be able to impress the Jinyang Mansion reader and the shopkeeper of the Zhuangyuan Book Company, so he wrote another 100,000 words at home and divided it into two volumes.

Seeing the two books placed in front of him, Shopkeeper Song's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly picked up one and looked at it, this look was a quarter of an hour, he was still watching there, and he had forgotten Luo Xin and Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu and Luo Xin looked at each other and smiled. Luo Xin called softly:

"Brother Song! Brother Song! ”

Song Tai woke up in shock, and when he saw Luo Xin and Zhou Yu looking at him with a light smile, his old face turned red, and he hurriedly put down the book and said:

"It's rude for my brother! But this is also because Luo Xiandi writes too attractively. ”

"Brother Song, the first book is waiting for the younger brother to bring it to you next time." Luo Xin said with a light smile.

"Then thank you, brother Xian!" Song Tai arched his hand, and then said: "Young Master Luo, I also bought these two books at a price of fifty taels of silver each, how about I buy each volume of this book at the same price in the future?" ”

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "This book is about five million words, and each volume is about fifty thousand words, so there are about a hundred volumes." And fifty taels of silver is only the price of the first book. ”

Zhou Yu secretly pinched the tooth flower next to him, this brother is really ruthless, he originally thought that he couldn't sell it for fifty taels of silver, but now he has to increase the price.

But...... Is it really good for my generation of scholars to be so careful?

Zhou Yu was there to compete with himself, and at the same time, he didn't understand Luo Xin's actions. He always felt that scholars should not care about copper smelly things like this, and he was a little embarrassed. At this time, his face was slightly red. But Luo Xin was indifferent.

Seeing the indifference on Luo Xin's face, Song Tai looked at Luo Xin a few points higher. As a businessman, he was dismissive of the so-called nobility of scholars. And a prodigy like Luo Xin can sit here and negotiate the price with himself indifferently, which makes Song Tai, an old businessman, feel a little nervous in his heart. However, when he heard that this "Biography of Shushan" could write five million words, he was more excited and excited in his heart, with the current attraction of this book, it will only be more attractive when the plot is fully unfolded later, just this set of "Biography of Shushan", he will make a fortune.

"Why is the price right for Mr. Luo?"

"One hundred taels per book." Luo Xin said lightly.

"One hundred taels?" Zhou Yu's heart pinched his teeth again. I secretly said in my heart: "This is doubled?" Brother Xin, you are really a lion's mouth, so how can Shopkeeper Song agree? ”

However, when he looked at Shopkeeper Song, he found that Shopkeeper Song's face did not show the slightest look of surprise or annoyance, but thought for a moment and said:

"How about eighty taels?"

Zhou Yu's expression was stunned, he originally thought that Song Tai would refuse, and even took back the previous fifty taels of silver, and no longer bought the first book. didn't expect Song Tai to be willing to bargain. He didn't expect Luo Xin to nod very simply and said:

"Okay, eighty taels is eighty taels, but this is only the price of the second to tenth volumes, and we will discuss the books after the eleventh volume."

A wry smile appeared on Song Tae's face. He had just read the second volume for a quarter of an hour, and the plot had begun to unfold a little bit, which was more attractive, and he knew that if he waited until the eleventh volume, he would negotiate the price. There will never be a hundred taels per volume, and the cost of getting all the books is definitely much higher than a hundred taels per volume.

In fact, Luo Xin wants to share with Zhuangyuan Bookstore, so that he must earn more. But on the one hand, Luo Xin didn't want to be entangled in this matter, he took the pen name Huang Shiweng because he didn't want to expose his identity, once he was divided, maybe his identity would be exposed, and he wanted to take a career in the scientific examination, and he didn't want to leave this flaw to become Yan Song or Xu Jie's means of attacking him when the time came. On the other hand, he alone can't grasp how much Champion Bookstore will sell, and when the time comes, it's not as much as people say? I don't want to reveal my identity, can I still argue with the other party about this matter in the future?

Then your reputation will be really ruined!

Not only will they be attacked for not reading the books of the sages and going to the wrong side, but they will also be attacked for their copper stink. Therefore, Luo Xin did not propose to share it, but only proposed to sell it to the other party at once.

However, Song Tai didn't think much about it!

In the Ming Dynasty, because of the underdevelopment of printing and papermaking, the price of books was very high, so the profits were also very large. The profits generated by such an attractive and long-form tome can be imagined, and with the release of one volume after another, more and more people must buy it, and the profits are getting bigger and bigger.

So he didn't want to go the same way with Luo Xin, which would make Luo Xin get huge profits. So as soon as I came up, I talked to Luo Xin and bought the book at once. didn't expect Luo Xin to give him such a price. How could he agree to negotiate the price of the eleventh volume later?

At this time, when he looked at Luo Xin again, he no longer paid attention to the problem in his heart, but completely forgot Luo Xin's identity as a scholar, but regarded him as a businessman who could be on a par with himself, and there was no contempt in his heart.

Yes, it's contempt!

In his opinion, those who read books to do business are stupid people who have a lot of money, value reputation, and treat money like dung. They were all made by these merchants. However, today he saw Luo Xin, who was indifferent but full of traps, and let him understand where he could think of it, and Luo Xin thought of it too. It's just that he doesn't understand why Luo Xin can't propose a share since he can think of so much?

Of course, Luo Xin didn't take the initiative to mention it, and he wouldn't mention it. He was just wondering if he would agree to the price of one hundred taels per book. It is certain that you will make a lot of money if you agree to this price, the champion bookstore is all over Daming, how many readers are there in Daming?

And this "Shushan Biography" is different from the Four Books and Five Classics, those books are only bought by readers who are bent on seeking fame, but there are still many readers who have no hope of seeking fame in Daming, and these will not go to see the Four Books and Five Classics, but they will come to buy Shushan Biography. And when Zhuangyuan Bookstore sells "The Legend of Shushan", it will definitely not be a volume of fifty taels of silver, relatively speaking, it will be very cheap, and many people will be able to afford it. When the number of people comes up, the profit will naturally come up, give Luo Xin a hundred taels for a book, how much more do they earn?
