李慕坐在雅间的客位之上,书铺掌柜一脸谄媚的奉上茶水,客气道:“公子请喝茶。” Li Mu sipped tea, the tea aroma is chilly, full mouth returns to sweet, obviously is the superior good tea, compared with here tea, old king invited the tea and boiling water that he drank in the yamen boils the grass to have no difference. 李慕抿了一口茶水,茶香清冽,满口回甘,显然是上等的好茶,和这里的茶相比,老王在衙门请他喝的茶和开水煮草没有什么区别。 The middle-aged storekeeper stands up, first is bows to him, said: „Was the villain had eyes but failed to see a moment ago, nearly made the pearl flee the capital, but also asked the young master do not blame.” 中年掌柜站起身,先是对他鞠了一躬,说道:“刚才是小人有眼无珠,险些令明珠蒙尘,还请公子不要怪罪。” Clouds and Mists Pavilion is the last bookstore that Li Mu comes, originally was also resisted the manuscript directly, but how does not know, in the Li Mu preparation leaves, this storekeeper pursues, the attitude and clearly was a moment ago opposite. 云烟阁是李慕来的最后一间书铺,本来也是被直接拒稿,但不知怎么的,就在李慕准备离开时,这掌柜又追出来,态度和刚才截然相反。 Was he discovered " Tall tale » value finally, prepared and him discusses the cooperation? 难道是他终于发现了《聊斋》的价值,又准备和他商谈合作了？ Being all smile of storekeeper, explained: „Young master’s book, the villain had looked a moment ago, simply is the character character pearl, deeply moving, awakening, does not know that the young master does have the interest and our Clouds and Mists Pavilion cooperation?” 掌柜的满脸堆笑,解释道:“公子的书,小人刚才看过了,简直是字字珠玑,感人肺腑,发人深省,不知公子有没有兴趣和我们云烟阁合作？” Except for this bookstore, how other does not instruct Li Mu to write a book, is suggested that he cut directly, Li Mu has no alternative radically. 除了这家书铺,别家不是指导李慕怎么写书,就是建议他直接切了,李慕根本别无选择。 He directly asked the topic that most cared about, „how reward does calculate?” 他直接问出了最在意的话题,“酬劳是怎么算的？” Storekeeper's explanation: „ten thousand character one volume, each volume two money to 12 money, after printing, except printing, the artificial expense, the obtained profit, 46 divides up money, young master with 40%, in addition, the young master can also choose sold to us directly, the price is 12 money one volumes, prints the risk to undertake by the bookstore, but after that profit, performs to belong to the bookstore, naturally, the young master can also first sell one volume, following makes the decision in addition, we provide the multiple options for you......” 掌柜的解释道:“万字一卷,每卷二钱到一两银子不等,刊印之后,除去刊印、人工费用,所得利润,四六分账,公子拿其中40%,此外,公子也可以选择直接卖给我们,价格是十两银子一卷,刊印风险由书铺承担,但此后利润,也尽归书铺所有,当然,公子还可以先卖一卷,后续再另做决定,我们为您提供多种选择……” Before the contribution, Li Mu has understood this line of quotations in detail. 投稿之前,李慕就详细了解过这一行的行情。 The Clouds and Mists Pavilion storekeeper to the price that he starts out, is nothing less than high, 12 money one volume of prices, only then wrote the famous expert of best-selling work to attain, just entered the line like him, without sprouting/moe of representative work is new, inscribes 10,000 characters laboriously, makes several money money. 云烟阁掌柜给他开出的价格,不可谓不高,十两银子一卷的价格,只有曾经写出过畅销作品的名家才能拿到,像他这样刚入行,没有代表作品的萌新,辛辛苦苦写上一万字,也就赚个几钱银子。 Is it possible that this storekeeper really has a pair of mental perception, saw «Tall tale» will certainly sell greatly? 莫非,这掌柜真的具有一双慧眼,看出了《聊斋》一定会大卖？ Li Mu thinks, the decision first sells one volume to try the water. 李慕想了想,还是决定先卖出一卷试试水。 Is divided into the risk directly, if after printing out one volume, the sales volume is unsatisfactory, may cut in two at the waist by the bookstore directly, at that time, he can only receive two money to 12 money, writes continuously the symbol material money to be insufficient. 直接分成有风险,如果印出一卷之后,销量不佳,或许会被书铺直接腰斩,那时候,他只能拿到二钱到一两银子,连书符的材料钱都不够。 But if all sold by 12 money one volume of prices directly, if the book fire, he will owe. 但如果直接以十两银子一卷的价格全卖了,万一书火了,他又会亏很多。 The best way, first sells one volume, waits and sees, examines after the market, then makes the follow-up decision. 最好的办法,就是先卖出一卷,观望观望,经过市场检验之后,再做后续决定。 After the consideration is clear, Li Mu looks at the Clouds and Mists Pavilion storekeeper, said: „That then first sells one volume.” 考虑清楚之后,李慕看着云烟阁掌柜,说道:“那便先卖出一卷吧。” Nod of storekeeper, said: „Villain this plans the contract......” 掌柜的点了点头,说道:“小人这就去拟契约……” Tall tale vol. 1 sold 12 money, actually big came as a surprise to Li Mu, the storekeeper is a being able to judge the quality of goods person, several other bookstores, did not ask that he wants the main line program, makes him cut directly...... 聊斋第一卷卖了十两银子,其实已经大大的出乎了李慕的预料,那掌柜是个识货之人,其他几家书铺,不是问他要主线大纲,就是直接让他切…… These 12 money, Li Mu plans first to give back to Liu Hanyan, the blood brother, in addition clearly does accounts, good that the favor can, money pay off in the future slowly earlier. 这十两银子,李慕打算先还给柳含烟,亲兄弟尚且明算账,人情可以日后慢慢还,银子还是早点还清的好。 Signed the contract, the Li

on below street, said: „Later he has anything to request, is as far as possible satisfied, as for the draft, when his anything wants to hand over then hands over, do not urge him.” 透过窗户,可以看到房间内有一道曼妙的身影,那女子站在窗前,看着下方街道上的身影,说道:“以后他有什么要求,尽量满足,至于稿子,他什么想交便什么时候交,不要去催他。” „Knew.” Sighing of storekeeper, cannot bear say: „But this, we will owe much......” “知道了。”掌柜的叹了口气,忍不住道:“可是这样,我们会亏不少啊……” Women's unquestionable say/way: „Defers to doing that I said.” 女子不容置疑道:“就按照我说的做吧。” The middle-aged storekeeper can only , helpless consented. 中年掌柜只能无奈应允。 After all, he is also only one works, but this entire within bookstore is her, let alone gives favored treatment to that poor scholar, so long as she wants, even if gives him is still good the shop.

pursued him to come back by oneself, gave him well gives favored treatment...... , the miss had a liking , was actually that scholar person? 只是,让他想不通的是,若是姑娘看过那书生写的文章也就算了,可她连看都没看,便让自己追他回来,给他最好的优待……,难道,姑娘看上的,其实是那书生的人？ Thinks carefully, has this possibility, general that although after all the article of opposite party writes, but the appearance is indeed good-looking, if the miss picked him...... 仔细想想,也不是没有这个可能,毕竟对方的文章虽然写的一般,但模样的确俊俏,万一姑娘相中了他…… In the heart of storekeeper told itself secretly, later wanted politely to that otherwise he will blow the pillow wind side the miss in the future, he feared that must take off to go home...... 掌柜的心中暗自告诉自己,以后对那位一定要客气一点,否则日后他在姑娘身边吹吹枕头风,他怕是得卷铺盖回家…… Li Mu the luck is good today,
