Without this, it would be very easy for the bookstore to commit fraud. After all, it is impossible for the two girls to send one person to the bookstore every day to count how many storybooks are sold in a day. Although the bookstore can also cooperate with a printing workshop to deceive the two.

, but it is very difficult to get a workshop to help them with fraud.

The agreement was written into the contract. Once the little girl had doubts about the amount and took the contract to the Yamen to file a lawsuit, then not only the bookstore but also the workshop would be punished.

No printing shop would agree to take such a risk for a few taels or even dozens of taels of silver, unless they give a very attractive price.

Isn't it unnecessary to spend money to buy a printing workshop? They gain nothing and take huge risks.

"Thank you for the compliment, shopkeeper." Zhao Ruxi saw the clerk polishing the ink and took the initiative to ask for the job. "I'll write the contract. I have to trouble the shopkeeper to hire a suitable person."

The shopkeeper was surprised, but he still made a gesture: "Girl, please." He told the waiter to go to the next shop to invite the shopkeeper over there.

Zhao Ruxi had signed a contract with Yinlou and was familiar with the ancient contract format. She wrote it according to the ancient format, added "liability for breach of contract" and the method and time of payment, and then she stopped writing.

The shopkeeper looked at the contract and looked up at Zhao Ruxi again.

When he saw Zhao Ruxi asking him to go to the next door to find a matchmaker, he once again felt that Zhao Ruxi seemed smart, but in fact he was immature. After all, they signed a white deed instead of a red deed, so they did not need to go to the government office to report and keep records. If there was a dispute, only the

The middleman makes the final decision. And this middleman was invited by him and is an acquaintance of his. Once he breaks the contract, the middleman will be on his side, and this little girl cannot take advantage of him.

But seeing that the contract was written in extremely detailed terms, with no loopholes to exploit, he began to doubt his own judgment.

Seeing him looking at her, Zhao Ruxi smiled and said, "Does the shopkeeper think that I am too trusting of you? In fact, this is just a matter of a few taels of silver to me, and it is not worthy of my reward. But because

From this you can see the shopkeeper’s character, so it’s worth it.”

She smiled: "After all, my sister is only thirteen years old, and she still has a lot of time to write a storybook. It is worth it to find a trustworthy person who can cooperate with her for a long time at the cost of a few taels of silver."

These words made the shopkeeper sweat.

It turns out that it’s not the other girl who is stupid, but him himself.

He raised his hands and said with a smile: "No, no, the store operates with integrity and has no intention of deceiving the two girls." As he spoke, he secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"But you have to add one more item to the deed, that is, the next copy must be sold to our store and not to others."

Zhao Ruxi looked at him with a smile but not a smile: "Shopkeeper Jiang is really good at making plans. Do you think I can add this sentence to you under such conditions? Are you bullying us because we are young and don't know anything, and want to deceive us?

Woolen cloth?"

Shopkeeper Jiang was sweating again: "No, no, no, it's really not the case. If you are so smart, how can you dare to deceive the two girls?"

"It's just this..." He looked at the deed and hesitated.

From shopkeeper Jiang's perspective, if this storybook is sold to ladies in the city, it will definitely be very popular. The female elders in their families will definitely hope that their daughters can read this storybook. Therefore, even if this book

It's not a big hit, and at least it won't be a big deal. And it's in this cooperative way.

Since these female guests are literate, they naturally need to read and write, so they need to buy pens, inks, paper and inkstones. As this girl said, a word book can bring a wave of traffic.

But if the next book is not sold to him, wouldn’t this wave of people go to other places? It’s a small matter that he makes less money. Seeing that his own business has become someone else’s, he is afraid that he will feel uncomfortable and panic.

"Yes, how about I give you another two taels of silver?" He raised his head and looked at Zhao Ruxi.

Zhao Ruxi shook her head: "If the shopkeeper wants the next book, then my condition is not money, but sales volume. If shopkeeper Jiang can sell 500 copies of the book within three months, my sister's next book will be

The storybook will definitely be sold to you, and we will still cooperate in the same way as today."

Shopkeeper Jiang frowned and thought deeply.

Because books are expensive, many people are reluctant to buy storybooks and would rather borrow others to copy them. Therefore, the best-selling storybook in his store is 800 copies, but it took him at least half a year to sell that book to achieve such sales.

"No, no, five hundred copies is too much. If the time is changed to one year, is it still possible to sell five hundred copies in three months? Girl, you are too high-minded about our business. Let me tell you the truth, these books in Beining

No one in the shop can sell 500 copies of a storybook within three months, not one of them."

"No in Beining, what about Beijing?" Zhao Ruxi asked.

Shopkeeper Jiang: "..."

Those ladies and ladies in the capital are not short of money. It is really possible to sell five hundred copies of such a storybook within three months.

But his shop is in Beining, not in the capital...

"Shopkeeper Jiang, don't be embarrassed, just sign it like this." Seeing him shaking his head, Zhao Ruxi knew that he had no courage, so he didn't want to waste any more time.

Their lunch break time is really limited, so they can't waste it like this.

Seeing that shopkeeper Jiang was still struggling, she advised again: "Try one book first, and then try another one. If this book becomes popular, just add this item to us in the next book."

Shopkeeper Jiang's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, that's it." He quickly signed and fingerprinted the deed.

After signing the deed, Zhao Ruxi and Xu Xue left the script and left.

After getting on the carriage, Xu Xue asked: "Sister, can we make more money using your method?"

When Zhao Ruxi was writing the contract, she used her arithmetic knowledge to calculate an account and found that she could not understand Zhao Ruxi's cooperation method at all.

She needs to sell three hundred copies of the storybook before she can earn six taels of silver. But selling three hundred copies is quite difficult. To achieve the goal, I'm afraid it will take a year, and one year may not be enough. Maybe she can sell it.

After a while, no one came to buy her storybook.

What's more, judging by the way the shopkeeper looks, even if they raise the price to eight taels, ten taels is still okay. Twenty taels is impossible.

In Xu Xue's view, Zhao Ruxi adopted a cooperation method that did more harm than good.

But her sister is very powerful in her mind, even more powerful than her parents, and it is absolutely impossible to do a loss-making business. Therefore, there is definitely something about this cooperation method that she has not thought of.

"This is our long-term benefit." Zhao Ruxi analyzed it with her seriously, "When you wrote your first storybook under this pen name, you might have sold fewer copies. After all, you are not famous yet, and people like to read storybooks.
