Simulate the Three Kingdoms, kill Cao Mengde at the beginning

Chapter 176 The Pirate Merchant
Wang Yi sighed softly in his heart, and said: "That's why Prime Minister Zhuge is able to stabilize the position of prime minister, but I know my own affairs, so I really don't know what I can do, I'm afraid I will really disappoint the general's expectations."

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Miss Wang doesn't need to do this. If you don't want to go and try, if you don't work, you will come back. No one can say anything about you. If it's suitable, it's better than you making a living here."

Unexpectedly, Wang Yi shook his head and said: "Even if I go, this teahouse will still be opened. This is my retreat, and I hope the general will understand."

"It's easy to say, as long as you're happy, it's fine."

Seeing the gentle smile on the handsome face, Wang Yi's heart almost skipped a beat. She bit her lip and said, "May I ask why the General values ​​me so much?"

Yuan Xi laughed out loud, knowing what Wang Yi was thinking, but he didn't bother to explain, and only said that he knew how to read people.

"If Ms. Wang wants to go, she can report tomorrow. If she doesn't, then I can only regret it."

After finishing speaking, Yuan Xi smiled slightly, and went downstairs with his hands behind his back.

"Wait, big."

Wang Yi chased after two steps, looked at many people downstairs, quickly swallowed the words in his mouth, walked to Yuan Xi's side in a few steps, and asked: "The general has been looking at that table just now, I don't know if there is anything you want to know? "

Yuan Xi didn't hide anything, so he briefly explained the matter.

Wang Yi was surprised: "Is that novel written by the general?"

"Haha, that's right."

Yuan Xi's skin was as thick as the base of a wall, so there was nothing to be ashamed of.

Wang Yi chuckled and said, "The general is really powerful, so it seems that the book dealer has harmed the general's interests?"

"You can't say that," Yuan Xi said sternly, "I'm not being stingy, but this copyright is very important. Bi Ru said that you wrote a poem, but others said it was written by him, and even used your stuff to seek it." How are you feeling, Lee?"

Wang Yi shook his head, "I should be very angry."

"To give another example," Yuan Xi pointed to the teahouse and said, "If someone uses the plaque of your teahouse, how would you feel?"

Yuan Xi noticed that there was obviously something wrong with Wang Yi's expression this time, and he looked very angry.

"That's the reason," Yuan Xi smiled slightly, "But I don't mean to kill them all, I just want to see how they do it, how much profit they make, or how many people they can help. If that person takes most of the benefits, I will It has to be managed."

Wang Yi completely understood, and hurriedly said, "Is the general looking for that fat man?"

"You recognize him?"

"I don't know him, but I know him well, and I know where he lives. This person is now in this area, and he is considered a well-known person."

Just at this time Cao Hualong came in and whispered in Yuan Xi's ear: "Just now that man is called Zhou Yun, he is weird, and we found nearly a hundred people in his house, they seem to be copying things, I don't know what they are doing. "

Yuan Xi's eyes lit up immediately.

Dongcheng, Peach Blossom Lane.

Satisfied, Zhou Yunzhi led several people to his home.

"Everyone, please come in."

Opening the courtyard door, Zhou Yun said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, this is the courtyard I bought recently, all earned from that novel."

There was a gasp of cold air.

Zhou Yun became more and more proud. Although he was not considered poor before, he was not very rich either.

It is absolutely impossible to buy a house here.

But after watching "Looking for the Qin Dynasty", others were attracted by the wonderful content in it, but he found a way to make money from it.

No, he managed to earn his first house by using pirated novels.

The method is very simple.

"Looking for Qin Ji" is very expensive to sell, and it costs a hundred cents for a thin volume, which is still half a novel.

When Zhou Yun heard about it before, he sneered, thinking that it was not that expensive at all, what he bought was just the name of a certain high-ranking official, and the key point was that the high-ranking official didn't know who it was.

It was vaguely heard that he seemed to be a general.

Anyway, Zhou Yun didn't believe it. What kind of character is the general?
Do people have the spare time to write novels?Wouldn't it be nice to have a few more women?

So Zhou Yun didn't pay much attention to this kind of novel.

But to his surprise, the novel sold very well.

It's not generally hot, almost everyone is talking about the content of the novel.

Out of curiosity, Zhou Yun endured the pain and went to buy a copy to read.

Upon seeing this, he was immediately attracted by the setting of the novel.

After reading it, I still can't finish it.

He couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, but soon he felt that the book was still too expensive.

The written booklets add up to only [-] yuan, which is still based on the very good paper.

Although it looks expensive, it is nothing compared to a thin booklet that sells for a hundred coins.

If you spend a little money yourself, hire someone to copy it, and then sell it for less than a hundred coins, wouldn't you be able to make a lot of money?
Thinking this way, Zhou Yun finally decided to do it.

He quickly bought paper, and then found a few down-and-out literati, and asked them to copy it.

If a booklet is copied within two days, ten coins will be given.

This price is not low, just copying, he feels worthy of these people.

He believes that some people are willing to do it.

Calculated in this way, the cost of a book is around [-] cents, even if he sells it for [-] cents, he can still earn ten cents.

Not to mention, it will definitely not sell forty pennies.

He directly sells [-] Wen, which is [-] Wen less than the genuine one, although the version and handwriting are not as good.

If it really doesn’t work, it’s a big deal to drop it, anyway, there are some profits to make.

As a result, the pirated edition became an instant hit, and Zhou Yun collected a copy, which was sold out in less than two days.

He made a net profit of five thousand Wen.

Zhou Yun was elated, and immediately increased his manpower, and soon made a fortune again.

Anyway, there is a great demand in Yecheng, and you can sell as many as you have.

Zhou Yun was not overwhelmed by the huge profits in front of him. He thought carefully, this thing is so easy to sell in Yecheng, what if it is sold elsewhere?
Isn't that the source of wealth?

Zhou Yun is undoubtedly a very thoughtful person, he quickly formulated a plan and summoned a large number of gunmen.

Before, it took about two days for a volume, and ten coins were given.

Now Zhou Yun redistributes these people, including food and shelter, and 120 Wen a month. The premise is that within a month, fifteen volumes must be copied.

If it is less than this amount, twenty cents will be deducted for one less book, and the deduction will continue until there is no end.

But if you want one more book, you can add ten books and one book, there is no limit.

Although everyone thinks that Zhou Yun is a profiteer, he is safe because he always has work and can get money.

Therefore, instead of complaining, the efficiency of copying books has also increased.

But Zhou Yun was still not satisfied, he was still recruiting a large number of gunmen.

The big man is so big, how can such a book be enough?

No one can live with money.

So this time when Zhou Yun went out, he brought back the three of them.

The three of them were called in, and when they arrived in the backyard soon, the three of them saw nearly 100 people, all of whom were writing. Although the conditions were simple, everyone was immersed in writing.

For the arrival of the three of them, they didn't even look at them, they worked very hard.

"Let's see, did I lie to you?"

Zhou Yun smiled slightly, "Fifteen books a month, [-] Wen, why don't you do it? Food is also included!"

"Done!"

Originally, the three of them still had doubts, but when they saw so many colleagues, their blood boiled with enthusiasm. Of course, there is still a lot of money.

One hundred pennies a month, just copying books, they think it's worth it.

Celebrity Zhou Yun went to get his pen and ink, and encouraged him: "Work hard, and you can get ten more essays by copying one more copy."

"But you have to take care of the quality, don't draw ghosts, people don't know what to write."

After a few words of advice, Zhou Yun nodded in satisfaction, and decided to go out and look for the shooter again.

The sky is too wide, and while he can make money, he wants to make a lot of money.

Just when Zhou Yun was falling into the fantasies of joy, he didn't know that the author of "Looking for Qin Ji" and Wang Yi had already arrived at the door of his house.

"General, Fatty will live here this week."

Wang Yi pointed to a closed door and said.

Yuan Xi looked at the brand new exterior wall and the two big lions at the door, and said with a smile: "It seems that Zhou Yun is quite rich this week."

Wang Yi was surprised, "The general also knows him?"

"I don't know." Yuan Xi pointed to the doorway, "Go, go in and have a look."

Although Wang Yi still wanted to ask more questions, seeing what Yuan Xi said, he couldn't ask any more questions.

Immediately, he was about to step forward to open the door, but unexpectedly, the door opened from the inside first.

When Zhou Yun saw this man and woman, especially Wang Yi, he was stunned for a moment, and then he said excitedly, "Hey, isn't this shopkeeper Wang? It's so rare."

Wang Yi is beautiful and capable, and is the dream lover of many men in the neighborhood.

Zhou Yun started at the end of this week, so naturally he likes Wang Yi very much.

Every time he went to Wang Yi's Tea House to drink tea intentionally or unintentionally, it was also to attract Wang Yi's attention.

From his point of view, with his current status, he was quite right with Wang Yi.

But unfortunately, Wang Yi doesn't seem to have any special views on him, and he has never had time to actively pursue it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened today, I saw the goddess in my heart.

Fatty Zhou was instantly elated.

Zhou Yun seemed to only have Wang Yi in his eyes, and Yuan Xi was automatically filtered out.

"Shopkeeper Wang, come in quickly," Zhou Yun said with a smile all over his face, "Your arrival really makes me radiant, come in quickly."

Wang Yi laughed dryly, and glanced at Yuan Xi.

Only then did Zhou Yun discover Yuan Xi. Seeing Yuan Xi's extraordinary clothes and unbelievably handsome appearance, he immediately became vigilant.

I know which rich son this is probably.

But he must not be discouraged, remembering that he might become the richest man in the future, Zhou Yun straightened his back.

He smiled and said, "Treasurer Wang, dare to ask who is this?"

"Oh, my humble Zhang San."

Yuan Xi took the initiative to intervene, "It's her distant cousin."

Wang Yi's face was reddish, he lowered his head and did not speak.

Seeing this, Zhou Yun became more vigilant.

Distant cousin?

Could it be brother love?
He felt a little uncomfortable, but still smiled confidently, "Oh, so it's Brother Zhang, please come in quickly, both of you."

He knew Wang Yi's identity, but Wang Yi didn't know him.

Today he let this woman know how capable he is.

How great is the future achievement.

As Wang Yi, he felt that as long as Wang Yi knew his assets and grand blueprint, he would definitely fall in love with him.

Instead of this idiot in front of me.

Yuan Xi winked at Wang Yi where Zhou Yun couldn't see.

Wang Yi understood, smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't bother you today."

"Where, where." Zhou Yun led the two of them in, and said with a smile, "The shopkeeper Wang is a heroine among women of our generation, and I really admire him for supporting a teahouse by himself."

Wang Yi covered his lips and smiled lightly, and said, "How can it compare to Brother Zhou, I heard that you made a fortune."

Turning his eyes, he pointed at Yuan Xi and said, "Well, I brought my cousin here to support your business. I want to buy a few copies of "Looking for the Qin Dynasty" later, and you have to give us the best price."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Zhou Yun suddenly realized that the two of them had come to buy books, and he felt even more proud.

The Zhou mansion is quite big, Zhou Yun was not in a hurry to invite the two to the living room, but took the two to wander around his huge mansion.

As he walked forward, he introduced the two of them how the mansion was.

Anyone can see the meaning of showing off.

Wang Yi wanted to laugh a few times, but seeing Yuan Xi listening with gusto, he could only suppress his smile and listen to Zhou Yun bragging.

Zhou Yun talked for a while, seeing that the two of them were not very surprised, he said in his heart that he would let you see how many people work for me, and I promise to scare you to death.

Thinking of this road, he suddenly sighed.

Looking at his chubby appearance, Yuan Xi couldn't help laughing and said, "Why is Brother Zhou sighing?"

Zhou Yun pretended to say, "I think of myself at this time last year."

He said with a wry smile, "You don't know how miserable I was back then. I lived in a small house and didn't have much money in my pocket."

Glancing at the expressions of the two of them, seeing that they were really attracted by his words, he pulled himself together and said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. I'll be poor until this winter."

Yuan Xi snorted and scolded this fat man for pretending to be shameless.

As soon as the bird man lifted his butt, Yuan Xi knew what he wanted to fart.

"And then?" Yuan Xi teased.

Zhou Yun didn't notice Yuan Xi's expression, and thought that he just happened to ask what he was talking about, so he smiled and said, "Then I was lucky, and suddenly I made a small fortune."

"Little fortune?"

Yuan Xi wondered, "How much money is it?"

He was really curious, how much this pirated business could make the fat man earn this week, and how much he could brag about.

Zhou Yun pointed at the house proudly, "Look at this house, I actually earned it. With my original strength, I couldn't buy such a luxurious house at all."

Wang Yi was surprised: "It's all money from selling books?"

Zhou Yun choked on her words and coughed twice, and said awkwardly: "Shopkeeper Wang, this is not actually selling, that's called business, I'm actually doing business, neither stealing nor robbing, selling is so ugly, haha."

"Oh, are they all earned from selling books?"

"That's right," Zhou Yun said with a chuckle, "This is just one of them. In fact, I have earned a lot, and I have a grand ideal."

"What grand ideal?"

Yuan Xi wished he could kick this fat man a couple of times, a pirate book dealer, and he was so arrogant.

A pirated book on the market costs sixty or seventy renminbi. Excluding the cost, how much does this fat man have to sell to make so much money?
