Chapter 182: Bargaining (Ninth)

The bookseller was also from Ningbo. After consulting with Chen Rong and Ye Chunqiu, he agreed that they would print and distribute Taibai Collection in the future. As for the pure profits of Taibai Collection, the bookseller divided the bookseller and Taibai Poetry Society accounted for 70%. Naturally, Ye Chunqiu and others had to ensure that each publication should be provided at least once, and countless were poetry, opera, or eight-part articles.

As a result, the poetry club finally began to appear in some kind of centripetal force.

Everyone knows that most people in this era cannot be extraordinary. What most people pursue is wealth and reputation. Taibai Collection is favored by booksellers and published in large quantities. Many people are also looking forward to the publication of Taibai Collection, wanting to read Ye Chunqiu's articles, and there are several other scholars who are widely expected. However, a Taibai Collection is definitely not just a few articles. In one issue, at least more than twenty poems, various miscellaneous comments and dozens of articles are needed.

What is particularly important in Jiangnan Shilin is that having fame can not only satisfy one's vanity, but also gain many real benefits. How can you promote yourself, how can you compare to your own article being selected for Taibai Collection and being rushed to buy?

Gradually, the poetry club began to become binding. The students contributed their articles and began to be enthusiastic about the activities in the poetry club. The vice president far away in Ningbo gradually breathed a sigh of relief. There was no need to ask for three or five invitations every party like asking grandpa for his grandma. Chen Rong was remotely controlled here, and he and Ye Chunqiu must formulate new rules and determine the reward and punishment system, and even acted as the responsibility of the editor-in-chief to determine which article could be selected. Of course, his greatest responsibility is to urge Ye Chunqiu to write.

"Spring and Autumn, are your lyrics ready? They are just a lyric of love between men and women. You have been delayed for so long. There is already an urgent urge over there. It is about to start printing. All the manuscripts are ready, and I am waiting for you."

Chen Rong was so angry that she pulled Zhang Jin to the door.

Ye Chunqiu wanted to tear him up: "The love between men and women, you asked me to write about the love between men and women. It's really a ghost. I don't write it. I have an eight-legged essay here. Do you want it?"

Zhang Jin advised from the side: "What's the harm in love between men and women? Chunqiu, but you don't know that this is the traitor that Brother Chen and the book agreed to... No, no..." Seeing Chen Rong look at him with murderous eyes, Zhang Jin quickly changed his words: "This is Brother Chen's wonderful plan. Think about it, everyone knows that you are a talented man and that you know that you are a high school Jieyuan. The articles must be excellent. The eight-legged essays that have leaked out before are also wonderful, but even so, everyone hopes that your eight-legged essays are nothing strange. But this love between men and women is different. Chunqiu, this is the Taibai Collection after our passing exam, and there is also a strong help from booksellers, so this time it must be a hit, and it must be a trend.

It’s not easy to be missed from all over the country. So Brother Chen was right. If it only appeared eight-legged essays, it would not be strange. But everyone knows that Ye Jieyuan is young, only thirteen years old. How can he understand the love between men and women at such an age? Now booksellers have released news in various places in Zhejiang that a poem by Jieyuan, a masterpiece of poetry in this provincial examination, was born, and it was about the love between men and women. My Ye Jieyuan, not to mention others, even if he even said it, I’m afraid he couldn’t help but want to see it. It’s not strange that dogs bite people, but people bite dogs are enough to cause a sensation. Just like you are not strange that you write eight-legged essays, but if you can write something like “Looking at the moon alone, only envying the mandarin ducks but not the immortals”, it would be popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.”

Chen Rong looked at Ye Chunqiu pitifully and said, "It's all for the poetry club. Chunqiu, you just follow me."

Zhang Jin also bowed: "Hey, I finally wrote a clever work, which was also published in Taibai Collection. I was about to see my literary talent and see Zhang Juren's methods; you can follow him in the Spring and Autumn Period, just this is the only time, and I will not be an example."

Ye Chunqiu was speechless.

In fact, in essence, he knew very well that this was a hype by booksellers, and this hype routine was really fatal. The thirteen-year-old Jie Yuan wrote eight-legged essays. Well, I want to see, the thirteen-year-old Jie Yuan wrote love poems, I went, buy, buy, sell liver and kidneys, and even buy it.

Scholars love poetry and articles, but they also love gossip. This is human nature. Chen Rong and booksellers seized on human nature and created such a gimmick. This alone is enough to make everyone know.

The problem is that you asked me to write love poems, just like although everyone likes to see love action movies, and I, Ye, also hopes that you, Chen Rong, can launch such a love action movie to open up the market. After all, I am also one of the shareholders, so what does it mean to let you make the protagonist of a love action movie?

Well, although not so serious, but...

Ye Chunqiu was in a dilemma.

Chen Rong began to swear and swear: "Spring and Autumn, you have a copy of this poetry club, and the bookseller said that as long as the lyrics are released, you will give a hundred taels of silver with just the money. Besides, we also account for 70% of the income. If Taibai Poetry Club becomes famous in the future, how many students will come to the poetry club? I am afraid that even Hangzhou students will flock to the poetry club. Moreover, if your poems are well written, you must be famous again. There is nothing wrong with being famous, Zhang Jin and I..."

Zhang Jin said angrily from the side: "It's not Zhang Jin, it's Zhang Juren."

"Okay, Zhang Juren." Chen Rong continued cautiously: "June Zhang and I want to be famous, but no one cares about it, and we can't even cry. Alas..."

A sigh.

Ye Chunqiu sat down and began to think about it. He thought for a while and said, "My father wants to be the vice president."

This is a bargaining.

Since we have to sacrifice, of course we can't take advantage of these two guys. Now the president of the poetry club is Chen Rong, who is very important. Ye Chunqiu is a partner, but he is not worth enough and has no decision-making power. He will pull his father into the core circle so that he can avoid any more ideas from Chen Rong. He can also pull his father in and give him a heavy blow directly, so that he can avoid making up his own ideas every day and thinking about his love action movies every day.

Chen Rong was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "This is easy to say. Ye Shishub is a rare juren in the poetry club. When you even gave up on the president, what is the vice president? Okay, let's discuss it like this today, and make a decision immediately. When will you write your poems? Don't just fill in the numbers."

Ye Chunqiu smiled bitterly: "Zhang Jin..."

Zhang Jin looked at Ye Chunqiu pitifully and resentfully: "Ye Jieyuan, please call me Zhang Juren."

Ye Chunqiu suddenly discovered that Ye Juncai was actually quite good. Although he was very funny, he was at least within tolerance. He had to say, "Jun Zhang invited me to dinner and wanted to hold wine in Jubaolou."

Zhang Jin was very straightforward: "Set two tables, let's eat one table, and then we will slap another table."
