Plane Small Bookstore [System]

The shopkeepers on the street where Kaiming Bookstore is located will never know what happened in this bookstore.

They would not know that one night a small truck was parked in front of the Kaiming Bookstore, and the truck was full of soldiers with live ammunition.The boss stood at the door with a smile, watching those people move out one big box after another from the store.

They won't know what a 'funny' scene happened outside the store.The famous Mr. Chen stood in front of the boss, and the two bowed deeply to each other at the same time, saying in unison: "Thank you."

They won't know how big a storm a butterfly from the future flaps its wings.They don't know that history will be rewritten.

All they know is that the new owner reopened after closing for a day.The boss is still wearing a blue shirt to greet the guests with a smile on his face, and the business is still going well, which makes them envious.

It will be a long, long time before they feel the violent and long-lasting aftershock.But at the moment when the earthquake happened, the night was quiet, everything was silent, and everything was sleeping.Many years later, they can wake up from their stupor and understand what happened in this world.

……

When Liang Huaming entered the store, he saw a long line of checkouts lined up in front of the Lejing counter.

He smiled and said, "Boss Le, the business is good."

Le Jing turned his head to see him, with a warm smile on his face, he called Cairns to greet the guests, and he himself came to entertain Liang Huaming himself.

"Thank you for what happened last time." Le Jing cupped his hands to express his gratitude and said, "Today I will be the host, and I will treat you for lunch. Please do appreciate it."

Liang Huaming smiled and waved his hands: "Where is it? It's just a matter of raising a finger. Boss Le is too polite." He said with a smile: "I'm here today to discuss business with Boss Le."

"what business?"

"It's inconvenient to talk here." Liang Huaming said, "I reserved a private room at the teahouse opposite. How about we order a few pots of tea and talk while drinking?"

After three rounds of tea, Liang Huaming finally explained why he came.

Le Jing was surprised: "You want to be my partner?"

Liang Huaming nodded: "That's right. I provide funds and equipment, and you provide books. The books in the store will definitely sell well!"

Le Jing didn't agree or disagree, but asked, "Why does Boss Liang have such an idea?"

Liang Huaming smiled: "This matter still has to start from a month ago."

a month ago.

Liang Huaming came back from a social gathering, and wanted to read a book in the study to relax his mind, but he didn't expect to see his daughter reading a book in the study!

Although he was frowning and looked bitter and bitter, he was indeed reading a book!

How rare.

His niece usually likes to eat, drink and have fun. She can touch the book, it's really the sun coming out of the west.

He didn't dare to disturb his daughter, so he quietly went around behind her, wanting to see what book she was reading.

He looked down and saw this passage: "But it seems calm, he thought, and is acting according to its plan."But what was its plan, he thought.What is mine?I had to adapt and use my plan to deal with it, because it was so big.If it jumps out of the water, I can kill it.But it always stays below and doesn't come up.Then I will stick with it to the end. 』

'what is it?

Liang Huaming continued to look curiously, and then saw the description of "it" given by the author below—"It shines brightly in the sun, its head and back are dark purple, and the stripes on both sides appear broad in the sun, with lavender.Its proboscis was as long as a baseball bat and tapered like a light sword. It emerged from the water from head to tail, and then slipped back into the water as slippery as a diver. 』

'It' was a big fish two feet longer than the boat!

His daughter was actually reading a book about fishermen fishing? !

Before he could continue reading, he saw his daughter flipping the book to the end impatiently.

""What's that?" she asked a waiter, pointing to the long backbone of the great fish, which is now nothing but rubbish, waiting for the tide to carry it away. "

"Tiburon (Note: Shark in Spanish)", the waiter said, "Eshark?" ’ He was going to explain what had happened.

"I didn't know sharks had such beautiful tails, so beautifully shaped."

"I don't know either," said her boyfriend.

In the old man's shack on the other side of the road, he fell asleep again.He was still lying face down, and the child sat beside him, guarding him.The old man was dreaming of a lion. 』

"Damn!" He heard a curse from his daughter's mouth, and from his position, his daughter's face was extremely ferocious.

He was silent for a while, and decided to be a deaf and blind man, "Mei Mei." He asked cautiously, "What are you looking at?"

Liang Meiru was really taken aback!Her shoulders jerked and she almost jumped up.

She turned her head and glared at her father, complaining: "Why are you silent behind me! You scared me to death!"

Liang Huaming smiled and apologized: "My fault, my fault." He pointed to the books spread out on the desk and asked, "What are you reading?"

Liang Meiru closed the book and asked him to read the title - "The Old Man and the Sea".

The author is an American named Ernest Miller Hemingway.He hadn't heard the name, but although he loved to read, he wasn't cocky enough to think he knew all the writers.

Unexpectedly, his daughter was reading foreign literature!Promising!

He felt very comforted and shocked at the same time: "Girl." He asked curiously, "What story does this book tell?"

Liang Meiru frowned, her expression a little distasteful and angry for a moment: "Just an old man went fishing in the sea. The fish was too big and heavy for him to pull. The author of this plot can write a book, really can talk about it." She Angrily, he slammed the book on the table, turned around and took out another book from the cabinet, and muttered: "If this book is as nonsense, boring and meaningless as that one, I will go to Find that profiteer!"

Liang Huaming's heart ached for Liang Meiru's rude treatment of the book. He quickly picked up the book and carefully smoothed the wrinkles on it. He couldn't bear to scold his daughter, so he asked, "What profiteer?"

So Liang Meiru told Liang Huaming about her buying books in this way.

Liang Huaming, who was originally smiling calmly, raised his eyebrows in surprise after hearing the words 'Kaiming Bookstore'. If he remembered correctly, the young man who asked him to help introduce Mr. Chen was the owner of Kaiming Bookstore.

There is such a coincidence in this world?

He didn't know what the young man named Le Jing had communicated with Mr. Chen.He only knew that what he was attending today was the dinner organized by Mr. Chen. During the dinner, Mr. Chen was very close to him and even gave him a big deal.But Mr. Chen also hinted that he would keep his mouth shut about Le Jing's coming to him and not tell anyone about it.

From then on, he knew that he believed in the right person.

He doesn't think the young man who can make Mr. Chen treat him differently is a profiteer.Moreover, his family knows his own family affairs, he knows how much ink his daughter has in her stomach, and he laughed happily after reading "Diary of a Madman", pointing to the opening sentence "Otherwise, how can the dog of the Zhao family look at it?" What about my eyes? 』Laughing overjoyed people.He really didn't think his daughter could understand foreign literature.

He glanced at the title of the book his daughter had placed on the desk—One Hundred Years of Solitude, by (Colombia) García Márquez.

Well, just for this name, his daughter must not like to read it, and she must not be able to understand it.

How can a noisy person like his daughter understand loneliness?

Sure enough, not long after, Liang Meiru snapped the book shut angrily, "This is all a mess, the names are so long, who can remember them! Let me tell you, foreigners' books are troublesome, and there is nothing wrong with them." Our Chinese books are easy to understand!"

Liang Huaming murmured in his heart, the title of "The True Story of Ah Q" is too simple, do you like to watch it?

He took the book out of Liang Meiru's hand, waved his hand helplessly, "You, go out and play with your little sister. Don't read the book, it hurts."

Liang Meiru immediately smiled, and said in a coquettish voice, "Daddy still loves me."

Liang Huaming thought: I don't love you, but this book.A good book was ruined by you, a layman.

He smiled and drove away his daughter, picked up the book by himself and began to read it.

From this point of view, it is one month.

He has read "One Hundred Years of Solitude", "The Old Man and the Sea", "For Whom the Bell Tolls", "War and Peace" and "Faust".

After reading it, he sat on a chair, closed his eyes and meditated for a long time, only eight characters appeared in his mind-magnificent masterpiece, a classic handed down from generation to generation.

"One Hundred Years of Solitude" depicts the fate of several generations of a family to tell the loneliness rooted in the continent of Latin America outside modern civilization, and to explore the common confusion of all human beings: 'Who are we?Where do we come from?Where are we going? '

Liang Huaming saw his shadow in the Buendia family.His family was poor, and his parents were both farmers who planed food in the fields. Thanks to the support of an overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia in his hometown, he was able to receive education all the way and went to Singapore for further study.In the end, with his hard work and intelligence, he started from scratch and created a huge family business in Malaysia.However, he has always been excluded from the circle of the real rich and nobles, and it is even more difficult to go further.After all, in the eyes of those rich people who were born with a golden spoon in their mouths, he is a nouveau riche who can't get on the stage, and even his daughter will be laughed at at school.is he aloneOf course he was alone.

And he has worked hard in Nanyang for many years, and his hometown has long since become a foreign country, which undoubtedly deepened his sense of loneliness.

It can be said that he fully empathizes with the efforts of the Buendia family to abandon tradition and integrate into the world.

"The Old Man and the Sea" seems to be telling the story of an old man fighting a shark while fishing.But unlike his daughter, Liang Huaming understood the core of the story.That is the struggle, the struggle against fate, against nature.

The old man finally defeated the shark, but the big fish he caught was also eaten up by the shark.He is a winner from nothing.

Most people in the world are result-oriented, and they all talk about heroes based on results.As a result, the old man was a failure.But Liang Huaming knew, and so did fate, that the old man was the winner.

"But man is not born to fail. A man can be destroyed, but not defeated. 』This sentence is the finishing touch of the whole text, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

He couldn't help but think of a poem by the British poet Dylan Thomas: "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night".

"Do not go gentle into that good night,

Old age should burn and roar at sunset;

Scolded, scolded at the passing of light.

Though a wise man at his death knows the truth of darkness,

For their words did not burst with lightning, they

Did not walk into that good night gently.

Kind people, when the last wave passes, shouting their fragile good deeds

I might have danced in the green bay so brilliantly,

Scolded, scolded at the passing of light.

The violent man caught and sang the soaring sun,

Understand, but it’s too late, they make the sun sad on the way,

Did not walk into that good night gently.

Serious man, approaching death, seen with dazzling vision

Blind eyes can shine like a meteor,

Scolded, scolded at the passing of light.

You, my father.In that sad height.

Now curse me with your tears, bless me.I beg you

Don't walk into that good night gently.

Rage, rage against the passing of the light. 』

This poem is almost tailor-made for the elderly.

He only hopes that when he is dying, he can also have the same courage and perseverance as the old man, and fate will not let him bow his head and surrender!

"War and Peace", "For Whom the Bell Tolls", and "Faust", the remaining three books are without exception magnificent masterpieces, with profound implications and profound thoughts, and they are excellent works that are worthy of being famous in history!

However, none of the authors of these books had ever been heard of by him.Even his foreign friends had never heard of these books.

He also considered the issue of translation, so he recounted the content of the book to a friend who taught literature in an American university. The friend told him with absolute certainty that he had never heard of these books on any occasion, let alone Heard of these authors.

However, after listening to Liang Huaming's story, the American was very interested, saying that if these books are really published works as he said, then one day they will spread all over the world and become a global sensation.

This sentence touched Liang Huaming's sensitive nerves as a businessman.

Since no one has read these books before, does it prove that these books are still only circulated in a small range?

A slight electric current spread through his cerebral cortex, and he had goose bumps all over his body, and he had a weird sense of excitement of becoming a Bole himself.

He has full confidence in the content of these books. No matter what they were unknown before, under his operation, these books will definitely become bestsellers all over the world!

At that time, maybe he, Liang, will also leave a mark in the history!

So, he sat in front of Le Jing and put forward his proposition to him.

Of course, considering the sensitivity of Le Jing and Mr. Chen's "big cause", he also considerately said that if Le Jing is unwilling to show his face, he can do all the procedures for him.Le Jing only needs to reach an agreement with those authors and agree to republish the book.As for the publishing fees for those authors, he can also pay in advance.

In other words, Lejing only needs to provide the sources of books from the beginning to the end, and can share two profits afterwards.

Le Jing took a sip of tea, thought carefully for a while, and made up his mind. He looked up at Liang Huaming, "In my store, there are at least a hundred books that are as good as these five books."

Liang Huaming's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe his ears for a moment!Those five books are already at the pinnacle level based on his shallow knowledge, but this young man still has at least a hundred books of the same quality!

He took a deep breath, his heart was pounding, and he asked excitedly, "Is this true?"

"really!"

Liang Huaming first rubbed his hands excitedly, and then he was very confused: "Where did you get these books? Can I meet the author?"

"Since the eggs have been eaten, don't care about who the hen is." Le Jing sighed in his heart, and silently apologized to those authors whose works had not yet expired, "I can only tell You, I have the sole agency rights of these works. I can authorize these works to you and let you print and sell them."

Facing Liang Huaming's excited and suspicious eyes on the opposite side, the young man withdrew his habitual smile, looked at Liang Huaming with a solemn expression, and said in a more emphatic tone: "But I have a request!"

"You say."

"[-]%." Le Jing stretched out three fingers and said, "I ask for [-]% of the profit."

This request is already a little too much.

To be honest, Liang Huaming gave him [-]% of the profit because of Mr. Chen's face.We must know that Lejing didn't even need to pay any cost from the beginning to the end.But thinking about the sole agency that Le Jing said, Liang Huaming hesitated again. Thinking about the huge profits and reputation involved, he finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

【...Are you trying to donate it to the domestic anti-Japanese war? ] Le Ling asked suddenly.

Le Jing was a little surprised: 'Did you guess it? '

[After all, we have been together for so long, I think I still understand you. ] Le Ling said: [And haven't you been raising funds for the domestic anti-Japanese war these days?It can be easily inferred. 】

' In the end I was just being generous to others.My patriotism is obtained at the expense of other people's interests, which is not noble. The young man calmly signed his name on the contract Liang Huaming had prepared, "It's just that the laws of this world cannot sanction me." '

' And I will never regret it. '
