"The new book is on the market, Captain Qian Dahai, who arrived in the Americas, told by himself, the fleet escaped under the huge waves, the life and death of giant whales in the sea, everything is in "The Adventures of Captain Qian"..."

At the door of the bookstore, a young man was shouting hard. From time to time, someone came into the bookstore curiously and bought a book. He walked and flipped over a few pages. He might not care much at the beginning, but after reading the beginning, many people would also look surprised.

"Brother Shi, the business of this study room doesn't seem to be good?" Xue Shao sat in the restaurant opposite the study room, looking at the abortions entering and leaving the bookstore, but his face showed an unsatisfactory look, because he and Zhang Zong opened this study room together. Even if it was sold "The Adventures of Captain Money", it was not very popular from the opening situation today.

"Don't worry, it's just opened today, and many people have never heard of the name of this book. In addition, the book is not a celebrity, so naturally there are not many buyers, but I believe that in a few days, when the reputation of this book spreads, it will definitely attract more people!" Zhang Zong said with a smile.

This book "Adventures of the Money Fleet" was written by Zhang Zong and Wan'er, but Zhang Zong was unwilling to sign his own name. After all, in this era, legendary novels were still not elegant, so he simply handed over the signature to Wan'er. As a result, Wan'er signed it in this book with her surname "Shangguan" as the pseudonym.

"Brother Shi, are you so confident?" Xue Shao asked a little disbelief. The significance of his cooperation with Zhang Zong this time is very different, because Zhang Zong used to cooperate with the Xue family, but this time the bookstore was Zhang Zong and Xue Shao himself, and even the money for opening the store was Xue Shao's own private money, so he was very concerned about this business. If he made money, he didn't have to worry about having no money to spend in the future.

"You have read this book, don't you think the story in the book is wonderful?" Zhang Zong asked Xue Shao with a smile.

Zhang Zong was not worried about the quality of the book "The Adventures of Captain Qian". The cultural and entertainment in the Tang Dynasty were in a very primitive stage, especially the novels were only just beginning to develop, and most of the so-called legendary stories in the folk were very rough and far from being compared with later novels. This is also the reason why Princess Chengyang and others liked his martial arts novels so much.

The book "The Adventures of Captain Qian" was written by Zhang Zong and Wan'er in the form of later novels. According to the feedback from Xue Shao, Li Dan, Li Guangshun and others, the book was indeed very successful. They even discussed the plot in the book for several days, even in class, and were scolded by several bachelors for this.

"Of course it's wonderful, but why don't you finish the story, brother Shi?" Xue Shao nodded immediately when he heard this, but then asked in confusion.

The book released now is just the first volume of Adventures, which tells the story of Qian Dahai's experience of starting from Quanzhou and reaching America with difficulties and obstacles. As for how they find seeds in America and how they finally return, Zhang Zong decided to put it in the two books behind, that is, this book is actually divided into three volumes: upper, middle and lower.

"Of course you can't finish writing. Of course, you can't tell all the wonderful stories easily, but leave suspense so that you can attract more people. In fact, it doesn't matter whether the first book makes money or not. The important thing is to promote fame and promote the second and third books in the future. That's when you really make money!" Zhang Zong explained with a smile. As a later generation, he was so familiar with this kind of marketing method.

"It makes sense!" Xue Shao was not stupid either. After hearing this, he nodded thoughtfully and said.

"By the way, your previous stories are also wonderful. Will you take out the printing cost in the future?" Xue Shao suddenly thought of another question, so he asked again.

"This..." Zhang Zong pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Many manuscripts I wrote before were lost by Taiping. Later, Wan'er and I only added a small part, which was not very complete. Moreover, the stories of those books were too long and many books were required to be printed. I haven't yet decided whether to use them to make money."

Zhang Zong actually did not intend to use those martial arts stories to make money. First of all, he did not like to plagiarize other people's articles. He wrote them in the past mainly for self-entertainment rather than profiting himself. In addition, some of the scales in those stories were not suitable for the Tang Dynasty, and he was also worried that he might cause trouble for himself in the future.

"That's a pity. If those stories can be printed, our study room will definitely be squeezed out by the book buyer!" Xue Shao also heard the implication of Zhang Zong's words, and said with some regret at the moment.

"Don't just think about relying on me to write books. I'm afraid I won't have the time and energy to write too many books in the future. On the contrary, Wan'er is very interested in writing things. In addition, you can also find people with expertise in this area. For example, if someone writes a wonderful story, then we can buy his books and print them into a book for sale in the store. When there are more people like this, our bookstore will not be afraid of not selling books!" Zhang Zong explained his plan to Xue Shao again.

"This method is good, but apart from Wan'er, how should we find talents in this area?" Xue Shao was happy first, then frowned and asked.

"This is simple. Tomorrow, someone will post a notice at the door of the bookstore, saying that the bookstore will purchase manuscripts similar to "The Adventures of Captain Monkey". Don't be afraid of spending money. The price will be higher. It will definitely attract a lot of people at that time. Moreover, if these people want to write stories, they must know what the story is told in "The Adventures of Captain Monkey". At that time, they will definitely buy books, which will allow more people to read our books." Zhang Zong said again enthusiastically.

"Good solution, I'll let someone do it later!" Xue Shao also laughed when he heard this. He had no experience in the operation of the bookstore. Zhang Zong was in charge of the overall situation. However, Zhang Zong did not have time to manage the bookstore, so he was responsible for specific affairs, and the two of them were considered to be division of labor and cooperation.

After chatting about the bookstore for a while, Zhang Zong and Xue Shao had another meal together, and then the two left the restaurant together. This place was not far from Furong Garden, so they did not take the carriage, but walked back directly.
