Chapter 114 Transfer of Wangpu!

Opening a bookstore is not only a business, but also a skill.

why?There are two major bookstores in the capital of Daxuan, one is Kaiyuan Bookstore in the east of the city, and the other is Zangshuge in the south of the city. The economic strength can be seen in the opening, and at the same time, it also contributed to the Imperial College.

In this era, the books sold in bookstores are basically the classics of various famous scholars, especially the Confucian classics. The rest of the books are very few. One reason is that there are very few scholars. The times are consensus, and if any family has a scholar, it is a great honor.

Therefore, basically there is no such thing as a storybook novel.

Ye Ke made up his mind, if the novels such as "Peach Blossom Fan" and "The West Chamber" were written and used as a gimmick for the bookstore, it would definitely attract many customers.

Soon, the preparations for the bookstore began. Ye Ke and Zhu You first came to the busiest street in the capital, and the first thing to do was to choose a shop.

This is called Shangyuan Street, where the Lantern Festival is held every year. There are many wine shops and restaurants, and there are many people coming and going. The only thing that makes Zhu You a little unhappy is that the street next to it is the largest There are many brothels in the land of fireworks.

The two of them walked back and forth on this Shangyuan Street for several times, and finally saw a place next to the Goulan. There were two shops there. It was originally a jewelry business, but it seemed that something went wrong and they hung up early. There was a sign that the shop was transferred, and a man who looked like a shopkeeper sat in the middle, sighing.

Ye Ke and Zhu You lifted their feet and walked in, but the shopkeeper didn't lift his head, "Don't do business, go to another place!"

Seeing his appearance, Zhu You raised his eyebrows and said, "I want to buy a store!"

The shopkeeper suddenly got up and said, "Buy a shop?" Then he took a look at the two people, seeing that the two people were very handsome, the woman had bright eyes and white teeth, and the material she wore was very good, so she hurried up and said, "Both, please." sit!"

Ye Ke ignored him and just wandered around in this shop. The space here is big enough, with a total of two hundred square meters. She was very satisfied in her heart, and wished You Xin understood, "What's the price?"

As soon as the shopkeeper heard the direct inquiry, he knew that he was sincerely doing business, "Guest officer, you have a good eye, my shop is a prosperous shop, look at the people who come and go, if you buy it, it is guaranteed to make money every day." Gold!"

"Stop talking nonsense, talk about the price!" Zhu You's eyes were cold.

Seeing that Zhuyou didn't like his own way, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "500 taels! No second price!"

Ye Ke was dumbfounded. These two shops cost 500 taels. He twitched his lips and said, "500 taels? Why don't you go grab it?"

The shopkeeper said with an embarrassed smile: "You can't say that, ma'am, I am sincerely paying this price. Someone offered 700 taels and I didn't sell it. I am destined to be with you two today!"

Ye Ke was stunned, then pointed to himself, "What did you call me?"

"Ma'am! You two are talented and beautiful, and you can tell which one is a high-ranking official at a glance. They are really a perfect match!" The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and flattered her.

Ye Ke immediately looked at Zhu You, who seemed to have not heard him, and was looking at the roof, but... I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ye Ke always felt that Zhu You's face was a little red.

"Ma'am, look"

"Stop! 500 taels is impossible! It's too expensive!" After Ye Ke finished speaking, he turned around and left. Zhu You quickly followed Ye Ke's footsteps. Ye Ke confessed everything about the price when he left the house today. , need to listen to Ye Ke.

For nothing else, Ye Ke knew that Zhu You was not short of money, but she didn't like the feeling of being slaughtered, she was afraid that this kid's brain would get hot, and he would wave his hand and buy everything he saw!

The shopkeeper was indeed worried about the money, and was thinking of quickly disposing of the store so that he could make other plans. Several people came to negotiate the price before, and they were all troubled by other jewelry stores, which made him almost schizophrenic, okay? It's easy to come to someone who talks about the price sincerely, and he doesn't want to let him go.

He hurried up to catch Ye Ke, and the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "The price is not suitable, you can negotiate, you can negotiate again! You should give me a price!"

Ye Ke glanced at him, then looked at the shop, stretched out three fingers and said, "300 taels!"

"make a deal!"

The direct reduction of 200 taels, Ye Ke thought about the life and death of the shopkeeper, but he did not agree, but he did not expect the shopkeeper to agree, and then quickly took out the house deed and land deed, and the contract in front of the two of them, With a look of excitement on his face, he said: "Come here! Honored guest, sign!"

Ye Ke held the brush in a daze, and said to Zhu You in a low voice: "My lord, I... Is my price too high?"

Zhu You shook his head coldly, "It's not tall, it's suitable!"

After signing the contract and receiving the land deed and house deed, the shopkeeper assured the two that the place would be cleaned up tomorrow, and then left in a hurry with 300 taels of silver.

Looking at the back of him leaving, Ye Ke always had a feeling of falling into a pit, and he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, this person is cheap.

Taking a look at the storefront, it was finally settled, and the location is very good. Ye Ke is sure that this business will definitely not lose money.

"What to do next?" Zhu You asked.

Ye Ke thought for a while and said: "Next, we need to prepare some bookshelves. To classify the books, we need to have classics from various schools of thought, as well as story books. These are very important. Martial arts, fairy tales, Suspense, romance...etc."

Zhu You obviously didn't understand what these classifications meant, so Ye Ke explained them to him one by one.

In fact, these popular novels are the most attractive, especially the love stories, which are most attractive to the women of this era. They live in boudoirs and don’t have much to entertain them, especially yearning for beautiful love, although ordinary women are not very literate. , but in a slightly wealthy family, there are still quite a few women who are literate.

If it doesn't work, they will be fascinated by some illustrations.

Zhu You was stunned when he heard that, especially when Ye Ke explained some stories about martial arts to him, he quoted some famous works of Mr. Jin Yong, which fascinated him very much. I sneered in my heart, "Hmph! Men are all the same."

By the time the two of them finished ordering the bookshelves, it was already evening. They never thought that just preparing these things, the two of them would run away for a whole day.

Ye Ke stood on the street, looked at the sunset, and sighed: "It's more tiring than handling a case."

After all, just as he was about to walk back, he heard insulting voices coming from the side alley: "Huh! Feng Chengyang, aren't you the sixth expert? Ah!? You're not like a dog now!!"
