In the elegant room on the second floor of the tea shop.
While Du Qi was drinking tea, Cai Youde came in a hurry. Cai Youde's face was filled with excitement as he shouted, "Young Master, it's done. Now, Cai Bida has left Chang 'an with his family. As for where they're going, that's their business. In short, they've paid the price. "
Qianxue sat at the side. She didn't have a good impression of Cai Bida at all. She said in a deep voice, "It's only because you're merciful that Cai Bida was given a way out. Such a treacherous person who betrayed the main family should have been beaten to death long ago. "
Du Qi shook his head and chuckled.
That wasn't necessary.
To Du Qi, he was a little disgusted by Cai Bida's betrayal. However, it wasn't to the extent that he would only be satisfied after killing Cai Bida because of business matters. He wasn't that ruthless.
It was enough to make Cai Bida pay the price in exchange for everything.
Du Qi said seriously, "Manager Cai, with the collapse of the number one teahouse, I'm afraid that our teahouse's sales will increase. I don't care about the sales, but the quality of the tea leaves must be guaranteed. "
Cai Youde promised, "Don't worry, Young Master. I'll definitely be strict. The tea of our number one tea shop in the world will definitely taste excellent. There won't be any mistakes. "
"That's good!"
A smile appeared on Du Qi's face.
While Du Qi, Cai Youde, and Qianxue were talking about the expansion of the tea shop, Liu Jian entered and reported, "Young Master, Qian Zailai requests an audience."
"Please!"
Du Qi ordered.
Liu Jian went to inform him, while Du Qi looked at Cai Youde and said, "You'll have to take care of the tea shop. Don't make any mistakes."
"Understood!"
Cai Youde responded and turned to leave.
Now, the entire tea shop in the world was working together. After all, the tea shop had undergone a reform, and the wages of the tea shop's employees had increased. Many of the core members even had a year-end bonus, which was the most exciting thing.
Not long after, Qian Zailai entered.
Du Qi asked, "Shopkeeper Qian, is there something you need?"
Qian Zailai said, "Young Master, I have two novelists here. They each submitted a manuscript. They hope to publish and sell it in our Xinhua Wen Xuan. After I saw it, I felt that it was alright, so I came to ask Young Master to take a look. "
As he spoke, he took out two documents and placed them on Du Qi's desk.
Du Qi picked up a book.
The name of the book was "Romance of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty". It was a little like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It told the story of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the story of the struggle for hegemony. Compared to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this Romance of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was more disorganized in terms of structure and content. However, the writing style was quite good, and many fictional stories were added.
After reading it once, Du Qi nodded slightly.
Although this book wasn't particularly good, at least it was passable, and the character depictions were also good.
Du Qi picked up the second book. This was a romance novel called "The Story of Parting Hatred". It told the story of two childhood sweethearts who were infatuated with each other. Because they encountered all kinds of obstacles and even faced the choice of life and death, they loved each other so much that they broke up and broke up.
In Du Qi's eyes, he actually didn't like this type of novel.
However, the structure of this book was quite clear, and there wasn't any scattered story. The rhythm of the entire story was quite tight, and it was very enjoyable to read.
Du Qi glanced through it and nodded. "These two books are not bad. They can be printed. However, if they are to be printed, how do you plan to pay them? "
Qian Zailai said, "The most popular method now is to directly ask how much a book is worth. However, I think that this is not the most suitable method. In order to motivate these two people to be willing to write with all their might, it won't be nonsense. "
"So, I plan to give them a basic price, calculated according to the price of a thousand words. Then, if their books sell well and exceed the number of copies sold, we will give them a commission. "
"If the sales are not good, they will stop writing halfway."
Qian Zailai said seriously, "If the sales are good, they can make money, and we can also make money. The most important thing is that the cost will be lowered through this method. What do you think, Young Master? "
After Du Qi heard it, he chuckled.
At this time, Qian Zailai was enlightened and had a business mind. In other words, he was good at running a bookstore.
This was a guaranteed and commission method.
This was the most basic operation.
At the same time, it was also the most beneficial to the bookstore. Because once the sales of a book increased, the bookstore and the author could reach a win-win situation, and no one would gain too much.
Du Qi nodded and said, "No problem. You can arrange this matter. However, since you want to set the commission method, it is impossible to publish it in the Tang dynasty Daily. It must be printed separately. "
"Yes!"
Qian Zailai nodded and replied, "Their books will not be published in the Tang dynasty Daily."
Du Qi rolled his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "Although their books can't be published in the Tang dynasty Daily, they can be advertised in it. You can leave a small square in the Tang dynasty Daily, specifically mentioning the sale of 'Romance of Eastern Zhou' and 'Tale of Parting', so as to attract readers to buy them. "
"Young Master is wise!"
After hearing it, Qian Zailai's face suddenly showed a happy expression.
Suddenly, Qian Zailai said, "Young Master, you mentioned the advertisement, but there is really another matter that needs to be decided by Young Master. I can't make up my mind at the moment."
Du Qi said, "Say it!"
Qian Zailai continued, "The sales of our Tang dynasty Daily are getting better and better, and there are countless people who order it every day. Many businessmen also come from afar to buy it. "
"Fortunately, Xinhua Wenxuan has been gradually opened and has branches all over the country, and the operation is also good. But now, there is a problem. Many businessmen want to publish some information about their shops in the Tang dynasty Daily, so as to let many people know about their respective shops. "
"These people are willing to pay, but I can't make up my mind at the moment."
Qian Zailai said, "Young Master, please decide what to do about this matter."
Du Qi chuckled and said, "Some people are willing to pay to publish notices and publish information in the Tang dynasty Daily. This is a good thing. But the price can't be too low. You are the General Manager of Xinhua Wenxuan Bookstore, and you are responsible for managing it. You can also make a decision about the Tang dynasty Daily. "
"Yes!"
Qian Zailai said, "After this little one goes back, I will summon some people to investigate and then decide what price to pay."
"Okay!"
Du Qi said seriously, "Every Tang dynasty Daily has different prices in different places. Different sizes are also different. You can do as you see fit. "
"Yes!"
Qian Zailai replied again.
After Qian Zailai finished dealing with the matter, he said no more and left.
Du Qi stayed in the tea shop, listening to Qianxue's music and enjoying this comfortable life. He liked this kind of comfortable life now. It was very good to be carefree.
