Siheyuan: I stand for Xu Damao because he is my brother

They all knew each other. Yang Weimin was arrogant outside, but very reserved in front of Xu Dacan.

Xu Dacan noticed his nervousness and comforted him, "Relax a little. Why are you so nervous? I have something good to tell you today."

Yang Weimin laughed: "You are the only one who would think of me when you have something good to do?"

Xu Dacan didn't like what he said: "Look at what you said. Didn't I help you get rich in 77?"

Yang Weimin was speechless now. He was jealous of their review materials business and tentatively asked Xu Dacan for help.

But in the end, Xu Dacan agreed to have a share in the deal without hesitation.

Yang Weimin has never forgotten this kindness, or rather, he dares not forget it.

Those people who used to follow Xu Dacan have all become successful.

Let’s not talk about Qin Hu and Qin Bao. Who in the world doesn’t know the names of the three brothers “Dragon, Tiger and Leopard”?

Others like Haozi, Lao Si, and Da Que'er are also big names now.

Especially the fourth one, this guy is so shameless that he gave himself a whole song. The lyrics are quite brainwashing. It sounds corny at first, but after listening to it twice, the more you listen to it, the more you like it.

The song goes like this: "The spring breeze of reform blows the economy and swings the sledgehammer, ah, thunder, let the fourth one take you flying..."

"..."

Seeing that Xu Dacan and others were doing better and better, Yang Weimin felt envious but also a little lonely as if his talent was not recognized.

Back then, he went with Zhao Shouqing and Sha Zhu to rescue Ran Qiuye's father, but when things got wrong they were blocked by Xu Damao and his men.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yang Weimin was the first to escape.

This trend also meant that he was destined to be unable to fit into other people's circle.

The most important thing in the underworld is morality. After this matter gets out, who would dare to truly believe him?

Yang Weimin thought that he was not equal to Xu Dacan and the others in status, and there was nothing worth calculating, so he simply said, "Dacan, you asked me to come today, just tell me what you want to say."

Xu Dacan praised him, "Frank!" Then he took out a book from his bag and said, "Take a look at this first."

Yang Weimin took the book in confusion and looked at the cover: "Marrying the Wrong Man in the Right Carriage"? Then he looked at the author: Liu Mengli?

Yang Weimin was even more confused...

By the way, Liu Mengli is Cheng Fei’s pen name, which was given to her by Xu Dacan.

Yang Weimin had no interest in reading a book at this time. He flipped through a few pages and closed the book before asking, "Don't keep me in suspense about what you want to do."

Xu Damao laughed: "Look how anxious you are, let me introduce you to a good deal."

Yang Weimin finally understood and held the book doubtfully: "That's it?"

Xu Dacan said: "Don't underestimate this book. Do you know what a romance novel is? Oh, you don't know, that's great...

I mean, that's a pity, anyway, just remember that I guarantee that any girl, from 80 to 15, will love to read this book!"

Yang Weimin said without even a punctuation mark: "Just brag!"

Xu Dacan said: "You will know if you try to sell it."

Yang Weimin thought that this matter would benefit him in every way and would not cause any harm. Why didn't Xu Dacan and his brother dare to sell it? They wanted to protect their reputation and were afraid of being troubled.

Yang Weimin is barefoot and is not afraid of those who wear shoes. What does he have to worry about?

Yang Weimin figured it out and stopped worrying about it. He accepted the book and said, "I'll take this book back and take a closer look. Also, how much would you like to pay for it?"

Xu Dacan didn't even think twice: "2 yuan, the retail price of this book is 2 yuan, and if you want to make more money, I will give you another idea."

Yang Weimin loved to listen to his ideas, and his eyes widened immediately: "Tell me, what are your ideas?"

"For this book, you must first identify the target group."

Yang Weimin stared at him with a pair of clear eyes that had not been polluted by knowledge: "What is the target group?"

Xu Dacan had eaten too many melon seeds and felt a little dry in the mouth. He drank a sip of tea and then said to him, "It's very simple. What kind of people would like to read this book? For example, male or female, how old, working or studying, this is called the target group."

Yang Weimin scratched his head and said, "Wait a moment." Then he hurriedly got up and went to find his waiter.

After a while, the boy came back with a paper and a pen: "Dacan, speak slowly, I will write it down."

After he remembered everything, Xu Dacan said to him: "I don't deny that what I said before was a bit of bragging, but I assure you that this book will be loved by many young women. Newly married couples, female college students, and those high school girls who are 17 years old in the rainy season will definitely love to read it!"

Yang Weimin muttered a few words, "the rainy season when I was 17 years old", thought it was very cool, and wrote it down in his notebook.

Xu Dacan said: "The ideas I want to give you are related to the student group. You also know that books are becoming more and more expensive, paper prices are rising, printing costs are increasing, and manuscript fees and editing costs are greatly increased..."

Xu Dacan is currently writing an "Investigation Report on the Rise in Book Prices This Year" and has done quite a bit of research recently.

The fundamental reasons are one is the adjustment of book price policy, and the other is the substantial increase in people’s demand for reading.

That's why Xu Dacan dared to assure Yang Weimin that this book would be a big seller.

"At 2 yuan a copy, it's too expensive for both high school and college students."

Yang Weimin agrees with this: "Yes, how much did it cost when we were dealing with review materials in 77? That's knowledge! What can you call this? A leisure book!"

Yang Weimin’s words surprised Xu Dacan. He didn’t expect that this guy respected knowledge so much?

Xu Dacan gave him an idea: "Students think it's too expensive, so what can you do? You can rent it!"

"Pig?" Yang Weimin's expression for a moment was cuter than Xu Damao's.

Xu Dacan was almost scalded by the tea. "It's a rental. You rent the books to them at 1 cents a day. You charge a deposit of 1 yuan per book. You return the deposit when the book is returned. If someone tears up the pages of the book, or the teacher confiscates it, the deposit will not be returned."

Yang Weimin's eyes became brighter and brighter, and even Xu Damao beside him couldn't help but wonder, what's wrong with his brother's brain?

They all have the same genes, and Xu Damao has been as good as anyone in his life. Why is Xu Dacan so much smarter than him?

If Xu Dacan knew what they were thinking, he would definitely think they were making a fuss out of nothing.

Who among those born in the 80s hasn’t rented books from the bookstore near the school?

Romance, martial arts, comics...

The most popular business at the school gate was the bookstore!

Xu Dacan still remembers that when he rented novels in 94, he paid a deposit of 10 yuan. However, the school asked the teacher who taught his class, Mr. Yingyu, to confiscate several books. He almost vomited blood just from paying the deposit.
