Chapter 588

In the front hall, three men were greeting each other.

Chen Sanli, the shopkeeper of Juwen hall, said with a smile: "shopkeeper Ma, every exam collection is printed by my Juwen hall. Of course, this dictionary will not be left behind."

The horseshoe shopkeeper frowned and said, "shopkeeper Chen has strong strength. I'm not strong enough. I just want to get familiar with him. Maybe I can make some friends with Xinghe Bo in the future."

Qian Qiang, the boss of another bookstore, said with a smile: "you two are both famous Booksellers in Jinling City. You can't catch up with me. You just want to see the old man Xinghe bota and boast with your daughter-in-law and children when you go home."

Chen Sanli said proudly: "I have some friends with the Ministry of rites and the Ministry of war. If they can't print, they will probably find Juwen hall for help..."

When Chen Sanli saw the other two people get up and look out, he quickly turned around and looked.

"I've seen uncle."

"Please sit down."

Fang woke up and sat on the master's seat. He said expressionless, "yesterday Fang Xi said that you didn't have enough craftsmen to take over Ben Bo's business. Why did you come again today?"

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Since Fang Xing appeared in person, he intended to hand over the business to one of the three families, but his words unkindly tore open the shame cloth on the three faces.

This is not a cooperative attitude!

The three of them were unavoidably embarrassed. Chen Sanli coughed and said, "some of the young drank too much yesterday. I mistook the number of craftsmen. Please forgive me."

Fang Xing nodded and glanced at the other two people: "Ben Bo decided to use movable type this time, and the paper should be cheap as much as possible. Would you like to go next?"

Movable type?

Tut tut!

You are xinghebo! It's a shame to choose movable type!

Engraving books is a sacred thing. Those who can choose stereotype will not choose movable type.

The reason is also very simple: the things printed by movable type look dull and boring. They are just words and have no sense of beauty.

Chen Sanli squeezed out a smile and said, "uncle, there are only three Booksellers in Jinling City. I don't know how many dictionaries uncle is going to print?"

"50000 copies in advance, and the follow-up depends on the situation."

Fang Xing is still confident in this dictionary. First, he tries to reduce various costs by using movable type and the cheapest paper.

The second is that he compressed the redundant explanations of 3000 words, especially those useless to ordinary people, deleted them all, and added the interpretation of Fang Xue, but the length is still reduced.

The third is the hot-air balloon going to heaven and the thunder and lightning going to the earth. The first of these two things has 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 be able to market Daming.

"Fifty thousand copies!"

50000 copies is really a large printing volume, but Fang Xing has pressed the cost too low.

Like all business models, the gross profit margin of high-grade goods is always surprisingly high, while low-grade goods can only sell at a small profit.

Chen Sanli thought for a moment: "uncle, if there are 50000 copies, no other company in Jinling City can take over the business alone except Juwen Hall..."

With self-confidence and a faint sense of superiority, Fang Xing suggested that you have no other way to cooperate with me, Chen Sanli, so let's talk about the conditions.

"Where are you two?"

Fang Xing ignored Chen Sanli and asked shopkeeper Ma and Qian Qiang.

Shopkeeper Ma and Qian Qiang looked at each other and said uneasily, "uncle, I really can't take this business alone."

Fang Xing's business volume 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 consumed, while other lucrative businesses are difficult to take over.

It's not worth it!

Seeing that the three were hesitating, Fang woke up and took a drink from his tea cup. When he was ready to drive people, Xiaodao came in and said, "Sir, Lord Shang of the Ministry of war is coming."

Shang Yun? What's he doing here?

"Invite him in."

Shang Yun was still smiling. As soon as he came in, he bowed and said, "Xing Hebo, I'm ordered to come."

Chen Sanli and others quickly got up and stood to the side. If Fang Xing was polite to meet them, after Shang Yun arrived, there was no place for them, a Xun Qi and an official.

"Xing Hebo, Lord Shangshu ordered an official to come here and want to give Fang Xue dictionary to the next, which will be printed by our military department."

Shang Yun glanced at Chen Sanli and others and said with a smile.

Fang woke up and felt a move in his heart. Since he treated Jin Zhong, the two had never been in touch again. He thought everyone would be like this in the future, but unexpectedly, Jin Zhong knew his dilemma and helped him directly.

Shopkeeper Ma and Qian Qiang were numb when they heard the news.

The Ministry of war intervened in this matter, and their hesitation just now seemed ridiculous.

Only Chen Sanli knew the situation of the printing industry in Jinling like the back of his hand and knew that the Ministry of war must not finish it.

In Jinling City, the most powerful is the Department of rites. Under it is the Ministry of rites. The Ministry of war prints that poor thing a year. Do you dare to accept the business of 50000 copies?

Fang Xing said with a smile, "is Lord Jin OK?"

"Well, the adult's body is getting stronger and stronger. He is more powerful on the steps than the lower officials."

Shang Yun said with a smile: "xinghebo, my Lord said that the Ministry of war is short of craftsmen, but he is sure that he can borrow some people from the Ministry of household to ensure that the printing of the dictionary will not be delayed."

Fang woke up and nodded, "thank you, Lord Jin. It's feasible."

Chen Sanli was dumbfounded when he heard this. You are actually engaged in department alliance!

Although the profit of this business is low, it is eye-catching. Once it is taken over, the advertising effect is much more powerful than printing words.

Chen Sanli gritted his teeth and said, "uncle, I'm willing to take over the business without making money."

"Who is this man? Rude!"

Shang Yun frowned and asked Huang Zhong.

This is a well-known question! Huang Zhong said with a smile, "this man is the shopkeeper of Juwen hall. He refused to print the dictionary yesterday, but today he is willing to take it without making money. I'm a little confused."

Shang Yun's smiling face disappeared. He said coldly, "Xing and Bo are both literate and martial. What crime should you commit if you dare to slack off his old man's affairs!"

To tell you the truth, it's inappropriate for Shang Yun to come forward to wake up for Fang, and even make a fuss.

But Fang woke up and just looked at the outside without expression, calculating Shang Yun's intention in his heart.

Shang Yun has dealt with Fang Xing many times. In the past, he was in a slippery style. He was not close, but he was not alienated.

When such a veteran suddenly changes his attitude and painting style, he must have a small abacus.

"Little guilty..."

Chen Sanli was regretful. He wanted to take advantage of the largest scale of Juwen hall to gain the upper hand in the later bargaining process, but he didn't expect that the old man of the Ministry of war suddenly stepped in.

Jin Zhong, Jin Zhong! Why didn't you die last time!

After Shang Yun turned around, the smiling face came back naturally and seamlessly. Huang Zhong was used to this unique skill of changing his face in Suzhou before, but Fang woke up and felt that Shang Yun's acting skills were too exquisite to compare with any old opera bones.

"Xinghe Bo, my junior officer was filled with righteous indignation for a moment. If you take the liberty, please forgive me."

Fang woke up and looked at the smiling and kind face and said noncommittally, "Bolu, send the three back."

"Uncle, I'm willing to... Take it at a loss!"

Chen Sanli thought of the disadvantages of losing the business and cried out with heartache.

Huang Zhong said coldly, "don't bother uncle, please."

The knife snorted coldly outside. Chen Sanli regretted and went out of the front hall.

What a good publicity opportunity! But why do I want to make more money!
