In the room, Li Zexuan couldn't help frowning after listening to Ma Zhou's words. He had long expected that the promotion of Fantastic Culture's cheap books would encounter many obstacles because he had touched too many people's cakes.
The reason why there was no movement among those people in the first few days is that they probably all thought that Qiqi Culture’s cheap books were just making money at a loss and would not last long. However, after so many days, Qiqu Culture’s daily supply of books has not decreased. On the contrary, when those people saw it, they naturally couldn't sit still.
"Brother Ma, for those booksellers who want to come to the workshop to purchase goods, we can allocate a batch of goods to them after our production capacity is further expanded. After all, our energy is limited. It is impossible for us to sell cheap books just by ourselves. If we go to various places in the Tang Dynasty, we can give them an appropriate portion of our profits."
In this era, except for the emperor, anyone else who wants to eat alone will have a bad end. Of course, even Li Er himself does not mean that he can eat alone if he wants to. He also has to weigh the opposition of other aristocratic families. .
Li Zexuan definitely doesn't want to be the enemy of the whole world. Making too much money is too hot. Leaving a sip of soup for others also leaves a way out for himself. Of course, if there are people who are weak and do not want to drink soup or want to eat meat, then Li Zexuan will definitely not retreat and wait for death.
"Well, what Sir Alex said is reasonable, and Ma thinks so too!"
Ma Zhou nodded and said happily.
He was older than Li Zexuan and naturally knew more about the ways of the world. Li Zexuan was able to make this choice. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart because he had indeed worried that Li Zexuan would do some unwise things because of his youth and vigour. Decide.
"Brother Ma, do you have any good ideas for dealing with those people with evil intentions? To be honest, apart from strengthening patrols around Fantastic Culture, I don't have any other good ideas for the time being."
Li Zexuan sighed deeply in his heart. He didn't like this kind of intrigue. His original intention of creating Qiqi Culture was just to enable children from poor families to afford books. From the beginning to the end, he never thought about who he wanted to fight with. If there wasn't someone in the middle, Be careful if you accidentally hurt someone, then you can only say sorry!
"Sire, the people Pang Sige arrested before have been transferred to Dali Temple, but the interrogation has not yielded any results, and we have not found any evidence of their evil intentions. The current situation is that the other party is hiding, and we are showing up. If we don’t know their purpose and plan, we can only block them with troops, and the water will cover them up!”
Ma Zhou pondered for a while, but couldn't think of any good ideas. He shook his head and frowned.
"Brother Ma, you've been working hard lately and paying more attention to Funny Culture. If you need anything, come to me anytime!"
Li Zexuan patted his butt in annoyance and prepared to leave.
"no problem!"
………………………
Chongrenfang, Changsun Wuji's residence.
"Sir, now there are more and more types of Funny Culture books, and the quantity is getting bigger and bigger, and they show no signs of losing money at all. The supply of books is also endless. I estimate that the cost of their books is probably very low. , otherwise it would be impossible to continue selling at such a low price for such a long time. Now many bookstore shopkeepers have gone to the stewards of their workshops to purchase a batch of cheap books from them and sell them back. Trying to make a profit."
Wu Mengyang, the shopkeeper of Mingde Book Store, was bending down to report to Changsun Wuji with a respectful expression.
"Hmm~! You are right. I have received the news that Li Zexuan's workshop has built a paper machine. The paper making speed is very fast. Their paper cost is very low, and they have also mastered a set of low-cost and efficient printing machines. Book writing methods, combined, their book prices are naturally low.”
Changsun Wuji's face was indifferent, showing no emotion or anger. He took two steps with his hands behind his back and said, "Go and contact Li Zexuan and ask their workshop to supply us with a batch of books. Li Zexuan should be able to give me some face. In the future, we will book books." Si also sells books according to this low-price model first!"
"Sir~, are you just letting it go?"
Wu Mengyang couldn't believe it. In his opinion, Changsun Wuji was His Majesty's brother-in-law. Could he still be afraid of Li Zexuan, a mere county boy?
"Hmm~?"
Changsun Wuji's voice became colder: "What do you want me to do~? What do you want me to do, do you still need your teaching?"
Wu Mengyang felt the chill radiating from Changsun Wuji's body. He shook his legs and trembled quickly:
"The villain made a mistake, the villain made a mistake, please forgive me, please forgive me!"
"snort!"
Changsun Wuji snorted coldly: "Go down!"
"Resign, villain!"
When Wu Mengyang heard Changsun Wuji's words, he felt as if he was being pardoned. He didn't even bother to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and left in a hurry.
inside the house.
"Come in, lie outside and eavesdrop, how unbecoming it is!"
Changsun Wuji sat on the bench, took a sip of tea, glanced outside the door, and said calmly.
"Hey, I can't hide anything from my father!"
As soon as Changsun Wuji finished speaking, a boy of eleven or twelve years old came in from outside. He said with a smile.
"Chong'er, sit down!"
Changsun Wuji pointed to a seat next to him and said.
It turns out that this young man is Changsun Wuji's eldest son, Changsun Chong.
"Thank you father!"
Changsun Chong followed his instructions and sat next to Changsun Wuji.
"Chong'er, you should have heard the whole story just now, right? Come on, tell me your opinion on my father. Do you think my father is weak, like Shopkeeper Wu?"
Changsun Wuji poured himself a cup of tea and said slowly.
Changsun Chong heard this and sat up straight. He knew that Changsun Wuji was deliberately testing him.
"Father, the child thinks that his father must have his reasons for doing this, but he is definitely not afraid of Li Zexuan. The Li family just jumped up recently with Li Zexuan being awarded the title of baronet. In terms of foundation and strength, there is no reason for the eldest son's family to do this. Afraid of the Li family, as for why his father wanted to avoid his influence and choose to cooperate with them, the child feels that his father must have other considerations."
Changsun Chong replied somewhat cautiously.
"Haha, you kid~!"
Changsun Wuji chuckled lightly, then shook his head and said: "Chong'er, things in this world are often not as simple as you see. What seems calm on the surface may be turbulent secretly. If you want to stay in the world forever, To be invincible, you must first know yourself and the enemy, and learn as much information as possible about the other party, and then based on this information, you can constantly weigh and analyze to make a correct judgment. Do you know?"
"What the father said is that the child has learned a lesson!"
Although Changsun Chong didn't quite understand what his father wanted to express, he still nodded.
