Doomsday: Start with the strongest talent

Chapter 430 Difficult world!
Chen Guo understood, and said: "Normally you don't do such a terrific thing, don't you usually do it so terribly?"

Wang Banzhi sighed: "Yes, for example, the deeds of Canglang Layman and "Heshuo Heroes" back then are full of shady scenes."

"Back then, Canglang layman wrote a book called "The Heroes of Heshuo" for ten years, and it was first published in Chunfeng Bookstore. As a result, "The Legend of Heshuo Heroes" became a hit, and overnight, paper became expensive in Luoyang. In fact, "The Heroes of Heshuo" "Legend of Heroes" sold more than 800 million copies in one year!"

"However, Chunfeng Bookstore saw that Lay Canglang was alone, a poor scholar with no background, so he concealed the sales volume, saying that the sales volume was only [-] copies. Lay Canglang was just poor, not stupid, so he naturally felt that there was a problem. Negotiations failed."

"So Jushi Canglang sued Chunfeng Bookstore to the government, but he had no backer. Chunfeng Bookstore had a backer. He lost the lawsuit. Not only did he not get back his due benefits, even the copyright of "Heshuo Heroes Biography" also belonged to Chunfeng Bookstore."

"If it's just like this, it's just average blackness, not too black. The real blackness comes later. A new bookshop opened in the northwest called Yiqi Bookstore. It also has a backstage and a background. Yiqi Bookstore Aware of the loopholes in Canglang Layman’s contract, he poached Canglang Layman away with a high salary, and prepared to make it the top brand of Yiqu Bookstore.”

"At that time, Chunfeng Bookstore was in the stage of being out of succession, and there were no ace authors sitting in it. Once Canglang Layman became the pillar of Yiqu Bookstore, then Chunfeng Bookstore would face threats."

"So, just a few days later, Layman Canglang died inexplicably at home. He was stabbed seven times in the back. The government said it was suicide. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was the hand of Chunfeng Bookstore. But the impact of that incident was bad. For a period of time, it also encountered resistance from the authors, so several scapegoats were launched to resolve the matter."

"This world is difficult. Even if you work hard to earn clean money, if you don't have the ability to keep it, not only will you not get rich overnight, but you will even lose your life for it. Layman Canglang is something I like very much." It's a pity that an author who is famous for this book ended up like this."

As Wang Banzhi spoke, he sighed again.

Chen Guo wasn't too surprised. With the sales volume of 800 million copies, the profit would be divided normally. Layman Canglang would have to divide the profit at least 80 taels. Moreover, there would be continuous sales in the future, and the profit would be even more impressive.

In this world, 1000 taels of silver can kill ordinary people. Canglang Jushi committed suicide because of 80 taels and may threaten Chunfeng Bookstore in the future. It can only be said that the field of literati is relatively gentle.

Of course, this is also because Layman Canglang is relatively well-known, and if he has no choice but to attack such a person, he will also encounter backlash.Of course, in the face of huge interests, Lay Canglang was still committed suicide.

Chen Guo mused: "In the end, there are authors who can protect their own interests. Isn't there no author who can protect their own interests?"

Wang Ban knew: "Of course there are. There is no shortage of authors with backgrounds and abilities in this world. The most popular author at the moment, Yu Zhengchao, is this kind of person. Although his works are harmless in my opinion, he makes money. It is true that he is soft on earnings. Even if he cooperated with Chunfeng Bookstore, Yu Zhengchao took 20.00% commission, and Chunfeng Bookstore did not dare to conceal the sales volume from him. Therefore, Yu Zhengchao made a lot of money, writing It's best to be bullshit, but it's the best way to make money, and that's true."

Chen Guo said: "So there is something mysterious about Yu Zhengchao?"

Wang Banzhi said sternly: "Yu Zhengchao's identity and background are very unusual. His father is the No. 1 arrester in Northwest China, Yu Jackie Chan. His grandfather is Ding Pei, the master of Huifengguan, and he is a master of Huifengwuxue swordsmanship." Wulin. His mother also has close contacts with the governor's wife. This person has connections in the Jianghu and the imperial court. Spring Breeze Bookstore may not be able to compete with him, but there is no need to fight with him. Under the taboo, you can only make money with peace."

"This is really..." Chen Guo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "In these days, even writing a book with one's own ability requires one's identity and background. What kind of world is this!"

Wang Banzhi suddenly sneered, and said, "As long as you have a background, it doesn't really matter whether you write books by yourself or not."

Chen Guo was puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"

Wang Ban knew: "Others don't know, but I know that most of Yu Zhengchao's books are actually plagiarized. It's just that he has a profound background and succeeded in deceiving the world and stealing his reputation. The original author has no way to appeal and wants to cry without tears. So he wrote a book Ah, even if everything goes well, but you are caught by Yu Zhengchao for plagiarism, you have no place to reason."

Chen Guo said: "It seems that writing a book is really a dangerous business!"

Wang Ban knew: "In fact, compared to being in the world, writing a book is already very easy. After all, the literati circle is always more refined and more worried. Maybe it’s gone, it’s not uncommon for the whole family to be killed. It’s not easy to make money!”

Chen Guo smiled and said, "I think it's easy for you to make money!"

Wang Banzhi said seriously: "You only saw the thief eating meat, but you didn't see the thief being beaten. You watched me and you eating meat and drinking at Wangjiang Restaurant, and talking freely, and made a lot of money. It seems easy. But I It’s just the face of Tsing Yi Building, Tsing Yi Building also has Li Zi. When Face is chatting and laughing with people, Li Zi will probably kill or be killed in order to find out the news. News never falls from the sky, it is Qing Yi Building It was found out by the insiders, and it is necessary to take risks to inquire about those valuable news."

"I see, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It seems that it's not easy to make money in all walks of life." Chen Guodao said, "But if I really want to write a book, who do you suggest I find to cooperate with?"

Wang Ban knew: "If you have a background, you can cooperate with whoever you like. Others can't bully you. If you are just an ordinary person, there is no need to cooperate with Chunfeng Bookstore. Although after the Canglang Jushi incident, Chunfeng Bookstore Your appearance is much better, but it is only compared to the past. If you have no power and no amazing martial arts, you will still be hacked. It’s just that before you sold 800 million copies, they concealed it to 50 copies. Now Concealed to [-] copies, just let you drink some soup."

"Cangshan faction, Shangqing Palace, and the governor, I can't afford to offend them." Chen Guo smiled wryly, "It seems that there is no need to consider Spring Breeze Bookstore. Which bookstore do you think is more conscientious?"

Wang Ban knew: "There is no bookstore with a real conscience in this world, only suitable bookstores. No one can stand the test in the face of huge interests. It is foolish to believe in a businessman's conscience."

Chen Guo nodded and said, "This is really good advice."
