The bleak autumn wind is rising and the fallen leaves are falling. It is the end of August.

In the Lin family bookstore, the boss saw a scholar in his forties coming in and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Zhou is so happy recently. What kind of books do you want when you come here today?" This is an old customer in the store, and the hospitality is naturally very enthusiastic.

Mr. Zhou smiled at him and his eyes swept quickly on the neat rows of books: "These volumes of "Spring and Autumn" I have been reading were bitten by a mouse. It seems really inappropriate, so I plan to buy a new one. Do you have any good ones here?"

"You are here. Recently, a batch of good scriptures have been received in the shop. It must be your wish. Come and take a look!" Boss Lin quickly smiled and took a book half bigger than other books from the bookshelf and handed it over. Mr. Zhou took it with a slight look on his face. He had never seen such a large book, but he was immediately attracted by the cover design of the book.

At this time, almost all the books were very simple, just a light blue cover with the title of the regular script and the author written on it. But this book is very different. There was a light painting printed on the light blue cover, which was exactly the scene of several soldiers sitting on the chariots attacking each other, and the words "Spring and Autumn" printed in the upper right corner complement each other.

"It's a bit interesting..." Mr. Zhou smiled, opened the book again, and found that although the content inside was the same as before, the font was nearly doubled. This made him nod again. Then he turned a few more pages and another embroidered illustration mixed with it. It was a painting that matched the contents of the book. Although it was simple, it could still see the meaning.

Seeing him showing a satisfied smile, Boss Lin was also happy and said hurriedly: "How? Is this book still suitable for your wishes?"

"Yes, I feel that I have struggled to read books at night recently. With this book, I can save much more effort. Is this a new one?"

"That's right, the book was printed by the Gujia Bookstore, which is said to be specially prepared for scholars who have been working hard for many years and have poor eyesight. What's particularly rare is that the price of this book is the same as before. You can buy a volume of only eight cents of silver, and five volumes of spring and autumn, just four taels." Boss Lin immediately helped to advertise and promote it.

At this time, another guest next to him who was about to buy a book interrupted and said, "But I heard that the books from Wanjia Bookstore can only be bought with six cents."

Boss Lin shook his head and said, "You only know one thing but not the other. You read these two books, both spring and autumn, but the size and thickness are completely different. There are quite a few differences in the cost. The Gu family's book is much more expensive, so it is more expensive. Mr. Zhou, do you think this is the case?"

Mr. Zhou looked through the book in his hand with some love, and nodded, "That's right, this book is indeed much better than before. It's all! Also, I also took this version of the Analects of Confucius and the Three Books of the University, and I have all bought this version. I have to buy such a good book to read."

"Mr. Zhou is indeed knowledgeable and has a wise eye to recognize the beads!" Boss Lin sold more than ten books at once, and was in a good mood. He was flattered again. He quickly took out the books in his hand, stacked them neatly and sent them to the other party: "It's a total of 7 taels and 2 qians. If you erase the fractions, you can give them 7 taels."

When Mr. Zhou left with satisfaction, several other customers became interested in the newly opened book and asked Boss Lin to read it. After reading it, they were all moved. The fonts of the book are large, have good feel, and have illustrations. No matter how you look at it, they are much taller than those originally found, and the price is comparable to those originally opened book, so it is not a loss to buy it.

At that moment, the one who was well-off immediately bought the book with money and then brought it home. When classmates and friends arrived, he showed it.

In the first day or two, only a few people bought this book, but as time went by, especially some county students brought such books back to school. After many students saw it, many people began to inquire about the origin of the book and thought of buying a set of them even after they were moved.

Who said that the ancients did not follow the trend? In fact, the ancients also had the trend they wanted to pursue. As long as you find their preferences, they could compete. Even if they save money, they had to buy a set of books to read.

During this inquiry, everyone found that the book was only sold by Lin's bookstore, so in the next few days, these people rushed to Lin's bookstore, making the boss so happy that they couldn't close their mouths. Although the profit of this book was not too high, it was fortunately it could attract more customers. Moreover, when these people came, they could sometimes buy other books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, etc., so the profit would naturally increase.

When the Lin family bookstore's business was booming and customers came, the situation in other bookstores became a little deserted. After a whole day, there were not many orders. They found out what was going on, and they were really panicked now.

In fact, everyone knows that this is the Gujia Bookstore's counterattack against the previous incident. Who told them that several bookstores had stood by the Wanjia Bookstore before, but they still had to pay the book money? In the last consideration, the several companies could only come to the door and plead with Gu Yuezi.

Gu Yuezi didn't see them, but his face was a little gloomy when he met them, and his tone was not very polite: "Do you guys have so time to come to my bookstore today?"

"Well, this is not the store that has finally been turned around. I came here to send the previous book money." Boss Liu said first, and said, putting dozens of taels of silver on the table in front of him. With him on the head, the others also laughed embarrassedly and took out the silver: "Yes, I've been neglected before, so please don't mind Boss Gu."

"I don't mind, everyone has been doing business for decades, how could they mind just because of a small matter?"

"I wonder... can we share the new books of the bookstore with a large number of books?" Seeing this, Manager Liu quickly made a request.

Gu Yuezi hummed softly, looked at them and said, "It's OK, but I have the conditions."

"you say."

"The money for this batch of books must be settled early. If there are those that cannot be sold, they will come back and refund it. By the way, this is the case for you to do business with my Gujia Bookstore in the future. I wonder what you think?"

"This..." Several bosses looked at each other and looked embarrassed. In the past, they always picked up the goods first when they entered the book, and then delayed payment, but they never had such new rules. But they knew better that it was different from the past. In the past, it was a buyer's market, but now it was a seller's market. Anyway, with the Lin family bookstore, the bookstore didn't worry about not being able to sell the books. Moreover, they also knew that it was because they were too unauthentic before, which led to Gu Yuezi no longer reassured them.

After hesitating, he finally compromised: "Success, just do what Boss Gu said, then this book..."

"No hurry, there is still something I haven't discussed, it's the price of the book. You should have read the sample of this book. Our cost has increased by more than 30% compared to before, so the price is naturally different. Seven cents per volume, if there is no problem, you can ship it now!"

Listening to Gu Yuezi's price of books, these bosses were stunned: "The Lin family's children are sold for eight yuan, which is too little profit for us, right?"

"It's his business that he sells eight coins. Anyway, our shipment price is this number!" Gu Yuezi was completely unconventional. He was determined to be these guys.

The few people hesitated and were embarrassed. Although they still left some profit margin for them, the price of five cents of silver was too unacceptable. It was obvious that they were just in vain.

But I was willing to turn against each other, but I was unwilling to accept it and didn't dare. Because according to the current situation, many scholars in the city would buy this new version of the scriptures. If they didn't have it, they would have to go to the boss of the Lin family if they had no business.

At this moment, they really regretted their previous choice. If they had known that the Gu Family Bookstore could withstand the pressure of Wanjia and print out such a best-selling book, they would never have cooperated with Wanjia's Gu Family's books in any case.

After a while of confusion, Boss Liu said with a shameless face: "Boss Gu, can't be able to adapt anymore? We have had many years of friendship..."

Gu Yuezi looked cold and solemn. They even had the face to mention friendship for many years. Why didn’t they remember this friendship when they joined forces with Wanjia to cheat him? But he didn’t have an attack in the end, and he just smiled and said without a smile: “Boss Liu, you said that, after all, we have been in friendship for many years, so let’s give you another face, even seven cents of silver.”

When the few people heard this, they breathed a little relieved. This was the reason why they had some profit. But before they could smile and thank them, Gu Yuezi gently slid his body and looked at them and said, "But I still have one condition."

"You...you said."

"It's very simple. Just as I said when I spoke to you that day, I resisted his thousands of books from our bookstore. As long as you do this and return all the books, it's the price, otherwise..."

"This..." The few people were really troublesome now, and they wanted to say something, but the boss of Rengu has already served tea and sent the guests: "I still have something to deal with, so I won't talk to you. If I promise to do it, our book will be delivered to your store at this price."

When Gu Yuezi walked out of the hall and threw the bookstore owners in it, he felt a sense of relief! During these days, he was so frustrated that he had nowhere to vent his anger. But now, he finally had the opportunity to turn over and take revenge on Wanjia, so he naturally couldn't let it go!
