With the popularity of "The Legend of Wu Song", it is not a problem to earn tens of thousands taels. Five hundred taels of silver to purchase the right to sell the book and earn one cent is really a bit of a lie to an honest person.
Jiang Han smiled and said: "What did Brother Yin say? Does this book selling right cost five hundred taels of silver? You can just give me ten or twenty taels. As for the commission income of one cent, I don't want it."
Yin Tingli couldn't help but be stunned. Could it be that Jiang Han was willing to use "The Biography of Wu Song" to please himself after hearing the name of Yuting Calligraphy? To please the Yin family?
Yin Tingli said in surprise: "Brother Jiang, are you kidding me?"
Jiang Han's smile faded and he said, "Brother Yin was the one who started joking with me!"
Yin Tingli's face darkened, and she immediately understood that Jiang Han was speaking sarcastically to her, and said, "Oh! Is it possible that Brother Jiang Han is not satisfied with the price offered by my Yin family? Also, Brother Jiang Han is now the son-in-law of Ningguo Mansion. , Where can I worry about spending money? If you think that a rare item is worth living in, you will naturally wait for a price and sell it.”
"But with all due respect, a mere popular novel is probably not worth the high price! Yuting Bookstore is willing to buy the right to sell this book, not because of the value of the book, but because it wants to help poor people. Be famous. If Yuting Shuxing wants to, they can publish as many popular novels as "Wu Song Biography" as they come up with!"
These words had a condescending and alms-giving attitude.
Yin Tingli naturally felt that Jiang Han, who came from a humble family and had never seen the world, would be intimidated by him on the spot.
However, Jiang Han smiled faintly and said: "Since Yuting Shuxing feels that "Wu Song Biography" is of little value, there is no need to talk about it anymore! Mr. Yin, I have something else to do, please come!"
Yin Tingli was stunned when he saw Jiang Han showing off his guests. He felt angry because this boy dared to give him an eviction order! How dare you reject the Yin family! Reject Yuting Shuxing!
He raised his sleeves and said with a sneer: "Okay, very good! When he saw the big piece of sky at the mouth of the well, he thought he was a master of human beings. He wrote a few poems and thought that he had learned poetry and books before he could learn from others. Arrogant and arrogant , a arrogant thing! After all, it is just a blinding thing, a mouse's eyesight is short-sighted!"
"With a mere popular novel, do you want to sell it at a price? I want to see if my Yuting Bookstore can sell your book if I don't buy your right to sell it!"
Yin Tingli was furious. After he returned, he was bound to activate the relationship between Yuting Bookstore and have people criticize the "Biography of Wu Song". He would not be able to sell the book or open a bookstore!
It's just a "Wu Song Biography", no one at Yuting Bookstore can copy it!
Just when Jiang Han was about to speak, he suddenly heard a voice from outside the door: "Who said Jiang Han's book can't be sold? I, Qingqiutang, are willing to pay 10,000 taels of silver to buy the right to sell the book "The Legend of Wu Song"! Not only that , every time a book is sold, give Jiang Han a ten-cent commission! If you, Yuting Bookstore, don’t like it, I’m going to tell you that I, Qingqiu Tang, want it!”
Yin Tingli was shocked and angry. She raised her head and looked out the door, and saw a young man in black walking into the lobby. It was none other than Hong Yuan.
Qingqiutang is one of the three major calligraphy houses in Dayu. Its predecessor was the Qingqiu Society founded by the great scholar Gu Qingqiu. It was an organization composed of Confucians and knights with the purpose of eradicating evil and treachery.
Later, it developed more and more and started a book-selling business. Unexpectedly, it became the second-largest bookstore in Dayu, second only to Yuting Bookstore.
The current master of Qingqiu Hall is not the great scholar Gu Qingqiu, but his disciple Hong Yuan is the Xiang Master whose status is second only to the master.
Although Gu Qingqiu, a great scholar, was not as well-known as Great Confucian Zhongli in Dayu, it did not mean that his status was much lower. The incense master of Qingqiu Hall would not be easily offended, even by the prefect.
Yin Tingli looked ugly and wanted to retort, but because of Hong Yuan's identity, she said coldly: "Okay, I want to see where this book can be sold!"
Hong Yuan said: "Selling books is not something that Mr. Yin has to worry about."
As he said that, he looked at Jiang Han and said: "We, Qingqiu Tang, have bookstores in all states of Dayu. As long as you sell the book selling rights of "Wu Song Biography" to me, Qingqiu Tang, we will definitely sell the book all over the world. Mr. Jiang, what do you think?"
Jiang Han did not expect that Yuting Bookstore and Qingqiutang would come to his door today, and the price offered by Qingqiutang was more than ten times higher than that of Yuting Bookstore.
Thinking of Gu Qingqiu whom he met that day, Jiang Han had some guesses in his mind. Could it be that Gu Daru asked this person to come forward?
Jiang Han said: "Qingqiutang is so sincere, Jiang has no reason to refuse. But... ten thousand taels of silver... Isn't Qingqiutang guaranteed to buy the right to sell this book without suffering a loss?"
Hong Yuan smiled and said: "As the incense master of Qingqiu Hall, I still have some good eyesight. I predict that this book will sell for at least one million taels of silver. Instead of suffering a loss, I will make a lot of money."
Jiang Han didn't expect this man to have such a broad vision, so his eyes lit up and he asked, "What's your surname, brother?"
"In Xiahongyuan."
…
Seeing that the two of them had reached a cooperation, Yin Tingli became even more angry and didn't stay any longer. He snorted and walked out of Sanyu Bookstore.
When he returned to the Yin Mansion, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He gritted his teeth and his originally handsome face became slightly distorted.
"Damn Hong Yuan! Damn Jiang Han! How dare you refuse me!"
What made Yin Tingli the most angry was not the sudden appearance of Hong Yuan. Qingqiutang had always been in a competitive relationship with Yuting Shuxing, and there were many overt and covert fights.
But that Jiang Han, from a humble family, was a pariah who couldn't even afford food before he entered the Zanning Palace!
Such a person dares to reject himself!
A mere popular novel felt like a rare commodity, and he dared to wait for a price for it.
"Come here! At midnight tonight, set a fire for me and burn down Sanyu's bookstore!"
Yin Tingli summoned his confidants and said angrily.
The confidant was stunned and said in a low voice: "Master, Zhongli Wuyou has also invested in Sanyu Bookstore. If it burns down, I'm afraid..."
Although Yin Tingli was angry, she slowly calmed down and said, "If you can't burn down this bookstore, get rid of that Jiang Han! Since he can't be mine, there's no need to keep him!"
The business collapsed today, and he and Jiang Han were also at odds. Coupled with Qingqiutang's investment, the bookstore would not be able to fail for a while.
Rather than letting this person go against you in the future, it would be better to send someone to kill him directly!
If Zhongli Wuyou really wants to choose a close disciple among Yunmeng's talents, then Jiang Han will be his opponent.
Killing him will count as killing an opponent in advance!
"Master, when will you kill him?" his confidant whispered.
A flash of viciousness flashed in Yin Tingli's eyes, and he said: "Send someone out in two days, and do it more cleanly, pretending to be death by drowning! Don't leave any clues!"
"yes!"
