Chapter nine hundred and thirty fourth rumor
Three more days passed.
The books printed in the second round were sold out, and Xu Jie only recovered the 50,000 taels of silver. The most important thing is that Luo Xin’s Juxian Bookstore still has a steady stream of books for sale.
By this time, many people can no longer sit still.
The first wave of people was Xu Jie, but he threw real money into it. He saw that it was drifting and didn't even hear a sound.
The second wave of people are the bosses of major bookstores in the capital. Although they have been paying Xu Jie's money these days, these people are all businessmen. At this time, if they still can't see the future situation, they are pig brains. It is obvious that after this fight, the business of the bookstore was completely depressed. They didn't expect Luo Xin to be so capable. Regardless of Luo Xin and Xu Jie's winning or losing, the owners of the bookstore are real losers. When Xu Jie lets go, their bookstore will go bankrupt. Even if Xu Jie adds a batch of books in the future and makes up for the money they have paid these days. But then?
They are sure that in the next three to five years, the bookstore will probably not be able to sell a book every day. The rent and labor will be compensated every day, and it will have to pay for three to five years. This is simply the rhythm of bankruptcy.
The third wave of people were Luo Xin, the subordinates of Zhan Shifu. Seeing Juxian Bookstore taking out books like this, they were all frightened and couldn't sleep at night.
I can’t sleep, but the bookstore has the money they invested. The bookstore has such a way to compensate, so let them drink the wind in the future!
This day.
A sudden news came from the capital city. The news spread throughout the city in just one morning and spread throughout the corner of the capital. It made it known to everyone, and teahouses and restaurants gathered to discuss.
"You all know Juxian Bookstore?"
"I know, who doesn't know Juxian Bookstore now? That's a competition with major old bookstores in the capital! And it also beats the old bookstores to a dusty face."
"Then do you know who is the backstage of Juxian Bookstore?"
"Who doesn't know this? You won't know it, right? Your news is too out of date. Lord Luo Xinluo! Lord Luo smashed the gate of King Jing's Mansion for the sake of the bookstore. Who doesn't know this!"
"Then do you know that Juxian Bookstore and major bookstores in Beijing have reduced the price to 30% off now?"
"I know, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? A 30% discount is to pay the money. You have also seen how many books Juxian Bookstore sells every day. You can calculate how much money Juxian Bookstore is spending every day. I tell you that over the days, Juxian Bookstore has paid at least 100,000 taels of silver."
"One hundred thousand taels, so much?"
"When you use your head to think about it, how much will you pay for the original thing to reduce the price to 30% off, and if you sell it in large quantities every day?"
"Mr. Luo is so rich!"
"Yes, I didn't expect Lord Luo to be so rich. I don't understand now. Lord Luo is also from a poor family and is a person without family background. After only a few years of official career, he dared to pay 100,000 taels of silver. Where did he come from?"
"I still have to ask? When Lord Luo was in the southeast, he served as the Maritime Supervisor and had a lot of oil and water to reap. I think Lord Luo could embezzle more than 100,000 taels, otherwise he would not dare to pay this, and it would be estimated that at least one million taels."
"So Luo Xin is a corrupt official!"
Xu Jie sat on the side of eating candy in the back garden of the mansion, holding fish food in his hand, throwing it into the pond bit by bit. He watched the fish in the pond rush to grab food, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Luo Xin, your reputation is bad this time? I will report to Your Majesty tomorrow to see how you respond."
Taibai Liquor House.
The bosses of eighteen Beijing Bookstores gathered together, and each one was frowning. An old man said:
"I guess this matter is about to pass, and the rumor of Luo Xin's corruption is getting worse and worse. Your Majesty should not let him go. Once he is dismissed from office, Juxian Bookstore will be a piece of meat. Then we have to grab it and fill the deficits these days."
"Ah..." Another boss sighed and said, "So what if the deficit in front of him is filled, in the next three to five years... Alas, I don't know how many of us, the eighteen people, can sit here in five years."
Everyone was silent. They were almost certain that there would be no eighteen people sitting here next time, and maybe half of them would be absent because their bookstore had closed down.
"I really regret it!"
"well……"
Zhan Shi Mansion.
Dozens of officials were all anxious and looked at each other. Now they have already lost money. If Luo Xin was dismissed from office for corruption, their money would have been wasted.
What should they do in the future?
They even have the desire to die.
"Sir Ma, we..."
Ma Chunshan sat there silently without saying a word.
"Sir Ma, why don't we go to Mr. Luo to have a look after the deposit today?"
"You want to go." Ma Chunshan said in a muffled voice: "You can really do it when you go to find Lord Luo at this time."
Everyone looked embarrassed and defended: "We...we just go and see..."
"What are you going to see? Let's see if your money has been lost? Will you still make trouble once you have lost it?"
"No, how could we?"
"No? If not, just wait honestly."
"this……"
A dead silence returned to the lobby.
Luo Mansion.
Lu Daqing stood in front of Luo Xin, and said happily: "Marty, Xu Jie has done everything he has to frame you for corruption. It seems that they can no longer hold on."
Luo Xin shook his head and sighed thoughtfully. Seeing Luo Xin frowning, Lu Daqing also showed concern, but looked at Luo Xin and did not dare to say anything.
"Daqing! Xu Jie can't hold on anymore, and my subordinates may not be able to hold on either."
"They? What can they not hold on? We make money."
"But they don't know!"
"Then... do they still dare to make trouble?"
"Why don't you dare? They invested real money and were shareholders, so we can't be unreasonable."
"Hmph, they are just a group of ungrateful wolves. I think it's better not to tell them and test them. Those who cannot share the troubles with the Marquis will kick them out."
"Please don't test it anymore. Sometimes it's a very sad thing. How much money do we make now?"
Lu Daqing immediately said with a smile: "Sir, I didn't expect that we would sell so much. It was only a dozen days before we made more than 50,000 taels of silver."
"In the next three to five years, you can't make money by buying books. You can go to the Zhan Shi Mansion and ask my subordinates to come here after the deposit. When you come back, prepare a set of lead types for me and put them in a box."
"Yes, Marquis."
