Genshin Impact: Zhongli discovered that he was stealing tributes at the beginning

Ya Mo Xuan.

The geographical environment of this bookstore is completely different from that of Wanwen Collection. Wanwen Collection is located in a busy city, surrounded by antique shops, restaurants and theaters.

Yamoxuan is deliberately hidden in a quiet forest, close to a clear stream.

The path in front of the bookstore is lined with neon flowers, emitting a fresh fragrance. There are many people coming and going to Yamoxuan, but they all slow down their pace.

"Okay, here we are, right in front." Keqing pointed to Wu Ye to the bookstore in front, "I'm leaving first, bye."

"Didn't you say you have something important to do here?" After Wu Ye said it, it became clear that she had brought him here specially. "Thank you, by the way, I almost forgot, my name is Wu Ye, Kou Tian Wu, the fire-added ye."

"Well, Wu Ye, goodbye then."

Keqing nodded, turned around, took out the official documents she needed to deal with, and read them as she walked.

He is indeed a busy person, but since the other party is willing to spend time with me, he will naturally find an opportunity to thank her in the future.

Wu Ye thought to himself, and then walked straight into Yamoxuan with the manuscript in hand.

Walking inside, a calm and tranquil atmosphere hits your face.

The large windows let in a faint light, which just illuminated the spacious space of the bookstore.

At a glance, the walls are covered with ancient paintings and calligraphy, and a small table with incense burners and vases is placed in the corner.

Ancient books are neatly placed on the bookshelf in front, and their covers show traces of time.

The bookshelves at the back are filled with newer literary works, such as "The Sword Picking Up in Shen Qiu" by Xingqiu, "Investigation of Qiuqiu People's Customs" by Mondstadt ecologist Jacob Musk, and "Investigation of Qiuqiu People's Customs" by Daozuma. Yaedo's "Please Take My Majesty to the Fox Immortal Palace" and so on.

Most of the books and manuscripts are filled with a hint of antiquity, as if they carry the accumulation of history and the wisdom of wise men.

There are more than a dozen simple and comfortable tables and chairs placed in the middle hall for people to enjoy the fragrance of tea and read. The tea sets are neatly arranged, quietly exuding the aroma of tea leaves.

Wu Ye walked to the front desk and explained his purpose to the staff.

One of them, a middle-aged man with glasses and a mustache, nodded to Wu Ye and extended his hand with a smile.

"Hello, my name is Li Sishu, and I am the boss of Yamoxuan. I know what you mean. I plan to come here to submit manuscripts and print them, right? Could you please show us your work?"

"Okay, by the way, my name is Wu Ye."

Wu Ye also politely stretched out his hand to shake the other person's hand, and then handed over his manuscript.

"Okay, Mr. Wu, please wait a moment. There are tables and chairs over in the hall where you can take a rest. If there are books on the bookshelf that interest you, you can read while sipping tea."

Wu Ye nodded and walked to the hall, while Li Sishu and his clerk began to carefully review the manuscript.

"The reincarnation of the auspicious beast Bai Ze, well, this setting is quite novel."

"Boss, this feels similar to Inazuma's light novel."

"It's almost the same, but there are no illustrations, only text descriptions, which are quite detailed, especially the description of the ruins of Guiliyuan. Reading it carefully makes me feel like I am immersed in the scene. By the way, the protagonist's life experience is also very tragic. .”

"Yes, I feel that this novel is a bit sad to read. The ending that leaves readers open-ended is not popular here. Liyue people like martial arts warriors who are passionate and live for justice or those who slay demons. Novels with happy endings such as Cultivation to Immortality.”

"Perhaps it will be as popular among Daozhu as "The Record of Shen Qiu's Picking Up Swords" written by Teacher Zhenyu."

"Boss, do we want to accept the manuscript? If this novel is printed and published, we may not make much profit."

"Wait, let me think about it seriously."

……

Naturally, Wu Ye didn't know what the staff of Yamoxuan discussed in detail, but looking at them whispering to each other, he felt a little nervous.

If the other party does not accept his manuscript, he will have no choice but to go to other bookstores. But if he wants his works to be famous, he still has to publish them in these big bookstores. He also wants to make more money so that his grandfather Wu can enjoy some blessings.

The old man once said that he wanted to go to Mondstadt, and he always kept it in mind.

......

"That Mr. Wu."

Li Sishu came over with a kind smile.

"After our discussion, we have reached a conclusion, but I have a question for you."

"Okay, please."

"What is your purpose in writing a book? Is it to support your family or for personal interest?"

"It's both."

"That's great, I won't hide it. We are willing to help you publish and print your novel. The plot of your novel has great ups and downs, is touching, and the setting is relatively novel, but..."

At this moment, Li Sishu paused, as if to prepare Wu Ye mentally.

Sure enough, no matter what you are doing, whether you are a businessman or a businessman, your interests come first, which is understandable.

But according to what he said, my novel should be published here, but it is not well received in Liyue. It seems that Keqing is right, forget it, it doesn't matter if there is less Maura.

Wu Ye thought secretly.

"However, after considering the market trends and risk factors after publishing your novel, we found that there are probably countless readers who fell in love with this novel at first sight."

"therefore."

Li Sishu noticed that Wu Ye's expression did not change and he still had a faint smile on his face, so he continued.

"So we decided to give you a manuscript fee of 500 molas, and then set the selling price of the novel at 400 molas per copy. After excluding the cost, the net profit is molas. We will split it /. As for the printing fees and other miscellaneous expenses, we will I will do it for you, what do you think?"

"Of course, if you feel it is inappropriate, you can go to other bookstores to submit your manuscript, but please believe that we, Yamoxuan, must be the most sincere."

(As for the exchange rate between Mola and RMB, I initially planned to use the Mola made by travelers to earn money through daily commissions to calculate, but I found that this method was very unreasonable.

Because in Mondstadt's daily commission 'Surprise Gift' Rudolf spent 600 moras to buy an exquisite gift for his wife. It should be said that Rudolf didn't have many moras left, but the reward from Rudolf's commission to the traveler was Mora! If the difference is too big, of course there may be something wrong with the game's copywriting team.

I also saw many calculation methods on the Internet, and in the end I thought it was most reasonable to use grain prices to measure Mora's purchasing power.

So I went to the Mondstadt department store in Mondstadt and the Rongfa store in Liyue to check. As for the stores in other countries, I didn’t check. I found that the wheat and rice before the discount were both 100 molars each. I boldly concluded that it was 100 molars. Lifting a pound can be regarded as my own initiative.

So for your better reading experience, the exchange rate ratio between RMB and Mora is set to 1:100, and the map ratio in reality and in the game is 1:1000, which should be mentioned in the previous article. )

The implication was that Li Sishu pointed out that the royalties and shares offered by other bookstores were definitely not as high as Ya Mo Xuan's.

"Okay, let me think."

Wu Ye frowned, counted on his fingers and walked back. Li Sishu was not in a hurry and waited silently beside him, thinking that Wu Ye was debating whether to publish it here.

But that's not actually the case. Wu Ye is settling scores.

"Half a million moras, equivalent to 5000 yuan, seems pretty good. The profit from the sale is /. There are millions of people in Liyue. Even if the sales are not good, there will always be a thousand people willing to buy my novel." .”

"That's 200,000 moras. The total of 700,000 moras seems to be far from enough to travel to Mondstadt. After all, you need to spend a lot of money to hire someone to escort you there, and you will also need it when you come back, and during the journey. The cost. Forget it, let’s not consider this for now.”

"I'm going out to buy some meat later, and go to the port to buy some live fish and shrimps to satisfy my craving. Grandpa likes drinking. Before, I was reluctant to buy it if there was no Mora at home. I usually drink peach blossom wine made by myself. The alcohol content is not high. strength."

"Well, I have to go to Liyue's famous tavern 'Three Bowls of Water' to get some drinks. I heard they mix water there, so I'll keep an eye on it. I'll buy a few bags of rice on the way back. These will cost about 20,000 yuan. pull."

"Then find a time to invite Keqing to have a meal at Wanmin Hall. I should give you a small gift. The cost should not exceed 30,000 Mora."

"Save the remaining Mora and make plans for the future. Very good, a future full of hope!"

Thinking of this, Wu Ye nodded, his brows relaxed, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.

Li Sishu was observing the words and expressions on the side. When he saw this scene, he stretched out his hand and invited:

"Mr. Wu, I think you have made your decision. Let's go to the front desk to discuss it. This is a place for reading and it should not be noisy."

With that said, Wu Ye and Li Si Shu walked to the front desk. The front desk employee immediately bent down and handed the drafted contract to Li Si Shu. Li Si Shu handed the contract to Wu Ye with both hands and said with a smile:

"Mr. Wu, this is the drafted contract. Please see if there is anything you need to add."

"Oh, by the way, have you decided on the title of your novel? And do you want your signature to be your real name or a pen name?"

"Yes, yes, thank you for reminding me. Let's just call the book "White". The pen name is Wuyi."

Wu Ye said, and then used the pen on the front desk to write the word "Wuzhi" on the paper, and then looked at the contract carefully.

To be honest, after Yan Fei's improvement, the content of the contract has become easy to understand, and he is worthy of Liyue Zhang San.

"No problem, Boss Li, let's just follow this contract."

"Yes, happy cooperation!"

Li Sishu touched his mustache, then whispered to the clerk next to him, and the clerk ran deeper into the bookstore.

"Come on, Mr. Wu, sign your name here and press the fingerprints of both parties. I'll press it first."

After everything was ready, the leaving clerk turned back, holding a sealed cloth bag in each hand, which didn't look heavy.

Li Sishu opened one of the cloth bags and put all the contents on the table at the front desk. There was a clatter, the sound of molas colliding with each other as they fell. A bunch of molas were lying on it, shining with golden light. Wu Ye's eyes widened when he saw it. No wonder little Paimon also liked Mora so much.

"I asked my men to take this out from the warehouse. It happens to be 50 molas. Please count it."

(Ps: I have seriously thought about a question. If a person needs to travel far away, like a traveler, he needs to carry a lot of molas. If the molas are heavy, won’t it be very inconvenient? Moreover, it is also required during the transaction. Count them one by one? This is too labor-intensive and a waste of time. There should be a convenient calculation tool in it. At the same time, Mora is very light and easy to carry. Of course, these are all my guesses. These may be trivial things. , in short, in order for you to have a good reading effect, I should think carefully)

"We have an instrument here called a 'gold measuring instrument', which is used to calculate the number of molas. Of course, if Mr. Wu doesn't believe us, you can borrow one from outside. This is available in every place where you do business."

"Use yours. Yamoxuan can help publish my novel, so I naturally trust you very much."

After that, Wu Ye put the molas on the table into the gold measuring instrument, and the calculation result was 50 molas, which was an accurate number.

Wu Ye put Maura back into the bag and prepared to wave goodbye to Li Sishu and the others.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Wu, this bag is also for you, and it also contains 50 molars."

Li Sishu persuaded Wu Ye to stay, and then gave Wu Ye another cloth bag.

"Ah! Didn't you give it before?"

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Wu, this is my personal gift to you. I recognize your talent very much. I hope that when you create new works in the future, you will give priority to our Yamoxuan. Of course, you can come here to sit more often if you have nothing to do. Read a book and have some tea, we are considered friends now, you can just call me Li Sishu."

Wu Ye originally wanted to refuse, but after hearing the amount of 50, he could no longer move.

"Thank you, thank you. I will call you Brother Si Shu from now on. You can just call me Wu Ye. Goodbye then."

"Okay, I'll take you out."

……

After leaving the door, Li Sishu watched Wu Ye leave. It wasn't until his figure disappeared that the clerk on the side said:

"Boss, I feel that what this person wrote is average. I think it is not as good as "The Record of Shen Qiu's Picking Up Swords" written by Teacher Zhenyu. There is no need to treat him with such courtesy and give him twice as much mola."

"You don't understand this. This little writer can write an intriguing work at such a young age. As time goes by, if he creates more exciting articles, he will definitely consider us first."

"The so-called etiquette and mora are just small favors. When he becomes famous, it will be our Yamoxuan who will make a lot of money, not our rival Wanwenjishe."

"What's more, if you think his writing is average, others may think it's good. After all, everyone has different perceptions of the same book, so no matter what, we have to make good friends with him in advance."

"More than 10,000 people like to watch it, so I lose."

The clerk muttered quietly.

"Don't think so much, go back. If you understand these principles, you won't be a little shop assistant anymore."

Li Sishu touched his mustache, smiled lightly, then turned around and walked back to Yamoxuan.
