When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Aunt Rong did not leave the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion until the end of the 3:00 p.m.

When he left, he carried a small black bag in his arms, got on the Xu Mansion's carriage and hurried back to the Xu Mansion.

*

Xu Xinyue already knew the day Qin Yuechuan would go to the wild fighting field through Qingyang.

Solved a big issue.

She just felt refreshed both physically and mentally, and today she planned to inspect the shop that her father had just handed over to her a few days ago.

Before she could get ready and disguise herself to go out, Xiao Shu rushed in: "Miss, this was sent from the inside."

The insider is the information network established by Xu Xinyue to connect with various shops.

Since taking over Xu Yuanshan's business, she found that Xu Yuanshan's business categories were diverse and involved all areas.

However, because he was not in Kyoto all year round, he had almost only one-way contact with the shops, and the shop owners could only passively wait for Xu Yuanshan's instructions.

As a result, many things were not handled in a timely manner, and some shops' business plummeted.

As a result, Xu Xinyue established his own insider information and strengthened communication with the shop owners.

Even if the shopkeeper didn't know where she was, he could send the message to the designated location through an insider, and then have a special person pass it on to Xu Xinyue.

Vice versa, the same applies when Xu Xinyue conveys any instructions to the shopkeeper.

Today is the first time I received news from the shopkeeper through the internal line.

He is Manager Wang of Yangchun Bookstore.

Xu Xinyue remembered that when her father introduced himself to him that day, Manager Wang nodded in agreement. But when Xu Yuanshan turned around, Xu Xinyue inadvertently noticed that the look in his eyes did not show that he was convinced.

Now he is the first person to use the inside line.

Xu Xinyue was quite curious about what kind of message he would convey.

He took out the letter and glanced over it.

Xu Xianyue frowned slightly.

The letter said succinctly: "This year, the bookstore's storybook business is bleak. There is still a large backlog of stock in the warehouse. I would like to ask Miss Xu to help me out."

How could she come up with a solution to these few words without any cause or reason? It seemed that the format of future letters would have to be standardized.

Without further ado, Xu Xinyue got dressed and took Xiao Chan to Yangchun Bookstore.

Shopkeeper Wang still looked friendly, and greeted Xu Xinyue with a smile as she entered the bookstore. Without further ado, he said directly:

"Ms. Xu, my bookstore's business has always been mediocre. I finally caught a glimpse of the trend and spent a lot of money to hire a storyteller to write a set of storybooks for our bookstore.

However, when all three parts were about to be printed, it turned out that this writer was unkind and a rival company poached him and printed and sold the first part before us.

I don’t even know whether I should continue printing the third volume.”

Our first storybook has now begun to circulate widely in the world.

How can our bookstore compete with others? "

The more he spoke, the more dejected he became, and he even lifted up his sleeves to wipe away his tears.

Xu Xinyue had no intention of comforting him. She only lowered her eyes and thought for a moment:

"Do you have the original manuscript of the upper, middle and lower parts of this story?"

"Yes! Yes!" Shopkeeper Wang personally took out a small sandalwood box from the inner room: inside was a thick stack of manuscripts covered with dense handwriting.

The three characters "Ming Yuan Lu" on the title page of the manuscript are written in iron-like and silver-like strokes, vigorous and powerful.

Xu Xinyue read through the book roughly from beginning to end. Because there was a table of contents index and detailed chapter outlines, Xu Xinyue could read very smoothly and quickly.

I quickly got a general idea of ​​the plot of the whole book.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that the writer was very thoughtful and the story was full of ups and downs and fascinating.

Even the chapter outlines, which are convenient for self-reading, are clear and meticulous.

It can be seen that this person attaches great importance to this transaction and has invested a lot of thought in this script.

The handwriting is also neat and has its own style.

It is often said that a person's handwriting reflects his character. Would such a thoughtful and self-respecting person really transfer the story that his employer had already decided on to someone else just for money?

She always felt that there was something else going on.

Xu Xianyue was puzzled and turned to look at Shopkeeper Wang: "Shopkeeper, has anything happened between you and this writer, or any misunderstanding?"

When the bookstore helper nearby heard this, he subconsciously opened his mouth to say something, but was glared at by Manager Wang and took a few steps back.

He continued to keep his head down and remain silent, pretending not to know.

The changes in their expressions only took a few breaths, and it would be difficult to notice if you weren't paying attention.

However, Xu Xinyue had a deep impression of Manager Wang, and knew in her heart that he was probably not convinced in heart.

The respectful treatment he showed now was probably out of consideration for Xu Yuanshan. When Xu Yuanshan left Kyoto, he would probably show a different attitude.

Therefore, from the moment she entered the bookstore, Xu Xinyue had been secretly paying attention to Manager Wang's every move.

Sure enough, there is something different. This matter may not be as simple as Manager Wang said.

But now is not the time to dwell on this; the most urgent task should be to resolve the dilemma first.

Xu Xinyue raised her head, stared at Shopkeeper Wang, and said solemnly, "Sell the second one immediately."

"What, what?" Shopkeeper Wang was a little slow to react to her sudden decision: "The first part has just been leaked by the rival, and not many have been sold yet.

Shouldn't we use some means to make our competitors stop selling?"

“No matter how few are sold, someone has already seen it.

Even if we take back all the scripts, we have already lost the initiative, and the audience will spread the content of the first part by word of mouth. In any case, the momentum of the first part will be weakened. So——"

She paused, observed Shopkeeper Wang’s reaction for a while, and continued, “We can only seize the initiative in the second part.

The opponent's strategy should be the same as the one we started with, which is to prolong the audience's expectations for the second part, whet their appetite, and maximize the reading value of the first part.

I have read the original manuscript. The second part is the climax of the story and the most exciting part of the entire story.

So we just had to break his momentum and regain the upper hand. The first part was released together with the second part. "

"Well, what's next? Our rivals also have the third part! If they retaliate and release the third part as well...will we still be able to do business with them..."

Xu Xinyue smiled and said, "The hermit has a clever plan. Shopkeeper Wang, how many copies of the third volume have you printed?"

"It hasn't started yet. Because the other party already has all the manuscripts, I have stopped printing..."

"Very good, stop printing and wait for my news!"

After saying this, he carefully put the manuscript into the sandalwood box and closed the lid again.

"I have to go out for something. Do everything according to my instructions." After saying that, he left Yangchun Bookstore with Xiao Chan without looking back.

Manager Wang still has a lot of questions. He still feels that this strategy of hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting oneself by eight hundred will ultimately result in a lose-lose situation.

"Alas! It's just a little girl, what can we do? This bookstore will be closed sooner or later!"

But he had no choice but to follow her orders and start selling the second part.
