Storyteller in Qixia Town: Zhang Wuji said he wanted to kill me

Ye Chen ran over and touched Guo Xiang's head: "Niece, hurry up, call uncle to listen."

Huang Yaoshi said displeasedly at the side: "What uncle and niece, you two are about the same age, don't worry about seniority."

"Boy Ye, I entrust Xiang'er's safety to you. If you dare to bully him on the way, I will not spare you!"

"I see, Uncle Huang, why do I bully my niece if I have nothing to do?"

Guo Xiang angrily knocked off Ye Chen's hand that was pressing on her head, Huang Rong immediately glared at her.

Ye Chen withdrew his arm: "Let's go, I've lived in Qixia Town for so long, and I haven't gone out to see the outside world properly! This time, I'm going on a trip!"

At the door, Dongfang Bubai had changed back into women's clothing, instead of a woman disguised as a man.

It's just that the clothes are much more plain.

Lao Huang was still the same, standing there with the sword box on his back, leading the poor horse and giggling.

The two missing front teeth are exposed, and the face is harmless to humans and animals.

This trip was mainly accompanied by Lao Huang, while Bai Zhantang and Huang Yaoshi stayed in Qixia Town.

For Huang Yaoshi, he has seen enough of the outside world, and the life in Qixia Town is what he likes the most.

Outside the door, Ye Chen called Gu Wen over and told him: "In a few days, [-] brothers will come over, and they will all be under the command of you and Jiang Baihong, be careful to hide them, and don't let the spies of the court find out. "

"After I leave, the imperial court's attention to Qixia Town will definitely decrease. It should be easier for you to do things."

"Understood, my lord." Gu Wen nodded and agreed.

……

The figures of Ye Chen, Guo Xiang and others gradually disappeared, and Murong Fu and others had left as early as yesterday.

So the bustling inn became deserted again.

Huang Yaoshi glanced at Bai Zhantang: "Come into the kitchen and beat my back."

"Okay, Uncle Huang! My skills have improved a lot recently, I promise to make you comfortable!" Bai Zhantang ran over courteously.

After a while, exclamations came from the kitchen one after another.

"It's actually Nine Suns Divine Art! Uncle Huang, you are so awesome!"

……

"What! You still have to train me in martial arts yourself! Uncle Huang, I love you so much, why don't I be your godson! You deserve me for doing this to me!"

"Pull it down! I don't have a godson like you."

"That's really not good, I can treat you as a grandson, let that kid Ye Chen take advantage of it!"

"Get lost! I won't teach you any more."

Chapter 36 Selling books as a copyright agent, teaching Shen Wansan to do business

Ye Chen and his party walked out of Qixia Town.

After walking for half a day, I came to a roadside restaurant to rest.

Ye Chen looked at Guo Xiang and said with a smile, "Niece, tell uncle what you want to eat, and uncle will treat you to something delicious."

Guo Xiang gave Ye Chen a vicious look: "Your surname is Ye. When I was in Qixia Town, I gave my grandfather and mother face. From now on, if you dare to call me niece again, I won't beat you up!"

Lao Huang was drinking rice wine with a smile while holding a clay bowl.

Master Fengling and Master Miejue both stared at each other, but did not speak.

They were very clear about Guo Xiang's temper.

In the original book, it was because the city of Xiangyang was broken, Guo Jing and his wife died in battle, Guo Polu died in battle, and Guo Fu's whereabouts were unknown, which caused a huge shock to Guo Xiang's heart.

But none of this has happened in the world of comprehensive martial arts, so Guo Xiang's character still retains the original eccentricity.

Only when Yang Guo was mentioned, there would be bursts of sadness in her heart.

But Ye Chen didn't care about this, he still shouted happily from his niece and niece.

But Guo Xiang couldn't really hit him, so her little face was red with anger, which was very cute.

Suddenly, several fast horses rushed out from the end of the road and came straight to the wine shop.

The leader of them was a fat man, and the precious horse under him was almost out of breath.

Dongfang Bubai quietly moved towards Ye Chen's direction: "These people seem to be aiming at you, but they don't seem to have any malicious intentions."

Ye Chen looked at the fat man with a familiar feeling, as if he was very similar to a character described in the book in his memory.

But he couldn't remember who it was.

The fat man rushed into the restaurant and saw Ye Chen sitting at the table at a glance.

Just as he was about to rush to Ye Chen's side, Dongfang Bubai stopped him first.

The four people who followed behind him wanted to make a move, but they were stopped by him reaching out.

"If you want to start a fight with Dongfangjiao, you are almost ready with the phantom magic skills of the four ghosts in Xiangxi!"

Then, he said to Dongfang Bubai: "Master Dongfang, sinking Wansan, this time I am here mainly to discuss some business with Mr. Ye, please forgive me for interrupting."

Dongfang Bubai turned around and glanced at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen also remembered who this person was at this time.

Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty!

It is said that even the emperor is concerned about this man's wealth, so one can imagine how rich he is.

Under Ye Chen's signal, Dongfang Bubai released Shen Wansan.

As soon as Shen Wansan sat down, he said in a hurry: "Mr. Ye, I heard that you are leaving Qixia Town, and I finally caught up with you."

"Mr. Ye, I have a way to make a lot of money here, and the risk is not too big. The most important thing is that you can share the money while lying at home. Do you want to try it?"

Ye Chen said with a smile: "Boss Shen, who is so rich in the world, wants to do business with me, of course Ye must listen carefully."

Shen Wansan continued: "Mr. Ye, I am here not only to represent myself, but also to represent the booksellers of the great dynasties such as the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. Now Mr. Ye's words in the snow are well known in the world, among which is represents a huge benefit."

"But now there are too many people who print your books, and some small workshops can make money from your books by just buying some printing equipment."

"If Mr. Ye entrusts me to take care of the publishing rights, then these small workshops will be entrusted to me to deal with, and the whole world will only sell genuine books jointly issued by our major booksellers!"

"As for the money earned here, our major booksellers can open seven or three deals with Mr. Ye! Mr. Ye doesn't do anything, and he can enjoy [-]% of the income alone!"

Ye Chen was a little surprised when he heard the words, he didn't expect Shen Wansan to even have copyright awareness, no wonder he can become the richest man!

This brain is really brilliant.

To be honest, Ye Chen is quite excited about this cooperation, and now more and more Beiliang cavalry are being opened from treasure chests.

The silver from the system treasure chest alone is not enough.

So he also wanted to find some way to make money.

Although Ye Chen knew of many ways to make money, he was too lazy to do it.

But it would be a different concept if all the matters were handed over to Shen Wansan and he waited to collect the money.

It's a pity that Ye Chen has already agreed to invite Yue Lianxing and the two sisters to wait for them to come back before continuing to tell the story.

The way to make money had to be thought of elsewhere.

"Boss Shen, your idea is very good. It's a pity that I have already promised others to wait for them to come back before continuing to tell the story. Ye doesn't want to break his promise."

Shen Wansan seemed to have guessed what Ye Chen would say. He beckoned, and one of the four Xiangxi ghosts behind him handed him a letter.

"Mr. Ye is talking about Yihua Palace inviting Yue Lianxing and the two palace masters! They have agreed that Mr. Ye will cooperate with me, why don't Mr. Ye read the letter?"

Ye Chen took the letter, it was written in Yaoyue's handwriting and it really made him and Shen Wansan cooperate without worrying about their feelings.

"I'm curious how you impress the two of them."

Ye Chen didn't doubt the authenticity of this letter, because Shen Wansan couldn't lie to him if he wanted to cooperate for a long time.

Because when Yaoyue Lianxing came back, the truth of this matter would naturally be revealed.

Shen Wansan is a smart person, and he also knows that lying about this kind of matter is useless.

Shen Wansan took back the letter and said with a smile: "I promised Yaoyue and Lianxing, the two palace masters, that before they arrive in the capital, I will do my best to protect their apprentice Hua Wuque and prevent Liu Xi from taking him away."

Ye Chen suddenly realized, no wonder Yao Yue and Lian Xing agreed to Shen Wansan.

It turned out that Hua Wuque's situation was too dangerous.

Although Yaoyue says she hates Hua Wuque, how could Yaoyue have no feelings for Hua Wuque after spending 20 years together day and night?

Especially after listening to the love stories told by Ye Chen, Yaoyue has slowly begun to let go of the Jiang Feng incident in her heart.

Naturally, there is no hatred for Hua Wuque.

Now that he has no worries, Ye Chen can think about the cooperation with Shen Wansan.

"Boss Shen, since all my friends have said so, we can talk about the cooperation. I don't have any opinions on other things. You can print as you want, but I hope to get a [-]-[-] split on the income."

Shen Wansan sighed: "Mr. Ye, we booksellers are suffering too! When the time comes, store costs, paper costs, and labor costs will all be very high..."

"All right, all right, four to six, nothing less."

Shen Wansan still shook his head: "Mr. Ye, we can give you [-]% at most, and we won't be able to afford any more."

Ye Chen waved his hand: "Okay, just [-]%, but I have one more request."

"What request?" Shen Wansan asked curiously.

"When the time comes, don't deal with those illegal small booksellers too hard, let them join in and sell books together! Give them a bite to eat."

Shen Wansan originally thought that Ye Chen would ask for other property or antique calligraphy and paintings, but he didn't expect it to be such a request.

"Mr. Ye has a kind heart, and I admire Shen Wansan. In this case, follow what Mr. Ye said, and give those small workshops a bite to eat."

"Mr. Ye, you will pass by Xishan Fucheng tomorrow. I have booked the largest inn there. After arriving there, Mr. Ye can stay and tell stories. I will let some of the best storytellers in the capital come to listen tomorrow, and then Record the story."

Ye Chen nodded, and Shen Wansan also smiled with satisfaction.

Merchants seek profit, as long as the business can be negotiated, it is the happiest thing for a merchant like Shen Wansan.

"Well, Mr. Ye, Shen Wansan will go ahead and arrange the sales of all major booksellers in the world. I will clean up the dust for you in Xishan Fucheng tomorrow!"

"Wait a moment!"

After finishing speaking, Shen Wansan was about to turn around and leave.

Ye Chen called out to stop him in time.

Shen Wansan turned around suspiciously: "Does Mr. Ye have anything else to say?"

Ye Chen said with a smile: "Could it be that Boss Shen only wants to sell books after getting the copyright?"

"What does Mr. Ye mean by this?" Shen Wansan was even more puzzled.

"Boss Shen has a good mind and has done a good job in business, but unfortunately he doesn't know marketing."

The doubt on Shen Wansan's expression turned into curiosity: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Ye, Shen Wansan has been in business for half his life, and he has never heard of the word marketing."

Ye Chen continued: "Dare to ask Boss Shen, can the pursuit of ordinary customers and wealthy customers be the same?"

Shen Wansan continued: "Mr. Ye, no matter what kind of customer you are, you buy books just to read them. Isn't there any hidden business opportunity?"

"Boss Shen has been smart all his life, so he was confused for a while! What else do rich people pursue besides reading? It must be the pursuit of experience! You use the best paper and the best ink. Then the price is three times higher than that of ordinary printed copies." Times, is that reasonable? It's reasonable!"

"There is also a collector's edition. Who said that buying a book is just for reading? Does Boss Shen know the story of buying a box and returning a pearl? Make a good sandalwood box for the book in the snow, and then put a few words on the box. A night pearl, such a book is [-] times or [-] times more expensive than ordinary printed copies, isn't it expensive!"

"There is also my autographed version. If my name is signed on the title page of Snow Story, it will naturally be another price."

"However, rarity is the most precious thing. Neither this collector's edition nor my autographed edition can be sold too much. These books are mainly sold to those dignitaries, wealthy businessmen."

"Secondly..."

As Ye Chen's narration slowly unfolded, Shen Wansan's eyes became brighter and brighter, as if Ye Chen had opened up the second vein of Ren Du who was doing business.

"Mr. Ye needless to say, Shen Wansan already understands it! It turns out that this is the so-called marketing. Thank you Mr. Ye for teaching me. Next month, in addition to the book income for Mr. Ye, Shen Wansan will personally give an extra 5 taels of silver. tuition fee."

"It's easy to talk about." Ye Chen waved his hand: "You are quite a good person. If you encounter any problems in business in the future, you can come and ask me."

Shen Wansan was very pleasantly surprised by this, he had already seen that Ye Chen's business was not easy.
