In the antechamber, three men were greeting each other.
Chen Sanli, the shopkeeper of Juwentang, said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Ma, every time the test collection is printed, it is printed by the old man's Juwentang, this dictionary, of course, will not be left behind." ” The shopkeeper said with a sad face: "Shopkeeper Chen is strong, and he has not been able to catch it, but he is just here to get acquainted, maybe he can have some friendship with Xing and Uncle in the future." ” Qian Qiang, the owner of another bookstore, said with a smile: "You two are both well-known booksellers in Jinling City, and you can't reach them in the dust, but you just want to meet Xinghe Bota's old man, and you can brag to your daughter-in-law and children when you go home." ” Chen Sanli said proudly: "The old man has some friendship with the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, if they can't print it, most of them will find Juwentang to help......
Chen Sanli, who was talking coolly, saw that the other two people got up and looked outside, so he hurriedly turned around to look.
"I've seen Uncle."
"You may be seated."
Fang Xing sat on the main seat, and said expressionlessly: "Yesterday, Fang Shiyi said that you didn't have enough craftsmen to take over Benbo's business, why did you come here again today?"
” The atmosphere instantly became awkward.
Since Fang Xing had come forward in person, he intended to hand over the business to one of the three of them, but his words unceremoniously tore the fig leaf on the faces of the three of them.
This is not a cooperative attitude!
The three of them were inevitably a little embarrassed in their hearts, and Chen Sanli coughed dryly: "Yesterday, some of the small ones drank too much, and they misremembered the number of craftsmen, and asked the uncle to atone for their sins." ” Fang Xing shook his head, and his gaze swept over the other two: "This time, Benbo decided to use movable type, and the paper should be as cheap as possible, are you willing to do next?"
” Type?
Gee!
You're a good uncle!
I would actually choose movable type, it's too embarrassing!
Engraving books is a sacred thing, and whoever can choose to be stereotyped will not choose movable type.
The reason is also very simple: the things printed with movable type look dull and boring, and they are just words, without any beauty.
Chen Sanli squeezed out a smile and said: "Uncle, the booksellers in Jinling City are the smallest, and the three are the largest, I don't know how many dictionaries Uncle is going to print?"
” "The first 50,000 copies, the follow-up depends on the situation."
Fang Xing still has confidence in this dictionary, first because he has tried to reduce various costs, using movable type and the cheapest paper.
The second is that he compressed the 3,000-word redundant explanations, especially those meanings that are useless to ordinary people, and deleted them all, adding the definitions of Fang Xue, but the length is still reduced.
The third is the hot air balloon going to the sky and drawing thunder and lightning into the ground, the first of these two events has already spread all over the country, and the second thing is believed to be spread soon.
With these three advantages, Fang Xing believes that this Fangxue dictionary will definitely be able to market the Ming Dynasty.
"Fifty thousand!"
50,000 copies is indeed a large print run, but Fang Xing pushed the cost too low.
As with all business models, the gross profit margin of high-end goods is always surprisingly high, while low-end goods can only be sold with small profits.
Chen Sanli thought for a while: "Uncle, if there are 50,000 copies, there is no second one in Jinling City that can take over this business alone, except for Juwentang......
With confidence and a faint sense of superiority in these words, Fang Xing hinted: You have no other way but to cooperate with me Chen Sanli, so let's talk about the conditions.
"What about the two of you?"
Fang Xing didn't pay attention to Chen Sanli, but asked the shopkeeper and Qian Qiang.
The shopkeeper and Qian Qiang looked at each other, and said with some apprehension: "Uncle, the little one really can't take over this business alone." ” Fang Xing's business is large, but most of the profits will be compressed to a very low level.
After taking over this business, most of the time and energy are wasted in it, and it is difficult to take on other lucrative businesses.
It's not a good deal!
Seeing that the three of them were hesitating, Fang Xing took a sip of the teacup, and was about to drive people away, when the knife came in and said, "Master, Lord Shang of the military department is here." ” Shang Yun?
What is he here for?
"Ask him to come in."
Shang Yun was still smiling, and as soon as he came in, he bowed down and said, "Xinghebo, the lower officials are ordered to come." ” Chen Sanli and the others hurriedly got up and stood on the side, if it was said that Fang Xing was polite to meet them, then after Shang Yun arrived, a nobleman, an official, there was no place for them here.
"Uncle Xinghe, Lord Shangshu ordered the officials to come and want to give the Fangxue dictionary to the next, which will be printed by our military department."
Shang Yun glanced at Chen Sanli and the others, and said with a smile.
Fang Xing's heart moved, since he treated Jin Zhong, the two had never been in contact again.
He thought that everyone would be like this in the future, but he didn't expect Jin Zhong to know his predicament with insight and help directly.
The shopkeeper and Qian Qiang were stunned when they heard the news.
The Ministry of War intervened in this matter, so their hesitation just now was extremely ridiculous.
Only Chen Sanli, who knew the situation in Jinling's printing industry well, knew that the military department would definitely not be able to eat.
In Jinling City, the strongest is the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites prints that little thing a year, and does it dare to take 50,000 copies?
Fang Xing smiled: "Lord Jin's health is okay?"

” "Okay, the adult's body is getting stronger and stronger, and going up the steps is more powerful than the lower officials."
Shang Yun said with a smile: "Uncle Xinghe, my lord said that there are not enough craftsmen in the military department, but he is sure that he can borrow some people from the household department to ensure that the printing of the dictionary will not be delayed." ” Fang Xing shook his head and said, "Thank you Lord Jin for your high righteousness, this matter is also feasible." ” Chen Sanli was dumbfounded when he heard this, you guys are actually engaging in departmental cooperation!
Although the profit of this business is low, it is eye-catching, and once it is taken, the advertising effect is much more powerful than what is printed to explain the words.
Chen Sanli gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, the little one is willing to take over this business without making money." ” "Who is this man?
Rude!
” Shang Yun frowned and asked Huang Zhong.
This is knowingly asked!
Huang Zhong said with a smile: "This person is the shopkeeper of Juwentang, and he refused to print the dictionary yesterday, but today he is willing to accept it without making money, which makes him a little confused." ” Shang Yun's smiling face disappeared, and he said coldly: "Xing and Bo Wenwu Shuangquan, what crime should you be guilty of if you dare to slack off his old man's affairs!"
” To tell the truth, it was a little inappropriate for Shang Yun to come forward to vent for Fang Xing, and even a little noisy.
But Fang Xing just looked out expressionlessly, thinking about Shang Yun's intentions in his heart.
Shang Yun and Fang Xing have dealt with him many times, and in the past, they were all slippery and hands-free, not close, but not estranged.
Such old fritters suddenly changed their attitude and painting style, and they must have a small abacus.
"Little Guilty ......"
Chen Sanli's intestines were repentant, he wanted to take advantage of Juwentang's biggest advantage to gain the upper hand in the later bargaining process, but he didn't expect the old man in the military department to suddenly intervene.
Jin Zhong, Jin Zhong!
Why didn't you die of illness last time!
After Shang Yun turned around, the smiling face came back naturally and seamlessly.
Huang Zhong was used to this kind of face-changing stunt in Suzhou Mansion before, but Fang Xing felt that Shang Yun's acting skills were too superb to compare.
"Xinghebo, the lower officials were indignant for a while, and they took the liberty of being presumptuous, and they asked for atonement."
Fang Xing looked at this smiling and kind face, and said noncommittally: "Bolu, send these three people back." ” "Uncle, the little one is willing......
Take it at a loss!
” Chen Sanli thought of the disadvantages of losing this business, and shouted in pain.
Huang Zhong said coldly: "Don't disturb the uncle's business, please." ” The knife snorted coldly outside, and Chen Sanli and the others walked out of the front hall with remorse.
What a publicity opportunity!
But why do I want to make more money!
