Chapter 319 You come and I go(1/2)
Through word of mouth word of mouth among readers, the four major bookstores of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce have been very popular recently, and the bookstores are crowded every day.
On the contrary, Lu's bookstore was really deserted during these two days.
On this day, the shopkeeper of Lu's bookstore couldn't help but said to the scholars coming and going, "You have all been fooled. Don't look at the cheap snow-gloss paper sold in the bookstore opposite. Just wait until he sells Lu's books."
If the shop closes due to crowding, he will definitely raise the price!"
"The book store opposite is weak. If our Lu family doesn't open a book store, you won't have new books to read. Just wait and cry."
These words made the scholar feel anxious.
Wu Ren naturally had to refute the rumors, "Don't worry, everyone. On behalf of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, I hereby announce that our snow-gloss paper will never increase in price within three years! After three years, the price may be adjusted appropriately depending on the situation. But I promise
, the price adjustment range will not exceed 30%.”
When the scholars heard this, half of their hearts were put back into their stomachs, but...
At this time, Wu Ren said again, "As for new books, don't worry, our book store will have new books on the market every month, with a guarantee of ten copies. If you have an original copy, you can also rent it to our book store for a period of time. Correspondingly,
Our bookstore will give high rent."
As a result, the scholars were completely relieved, and then discussed the matter of renting the original copy.
"Seller, I have an orphan copy. If I rent it to your bookstore, how long will it take to return it to me? How much rent can you give me?"
"Brother, let's talk about the title of the book you have..."
Lu family
Lu Yuan asked the elders and principals of the Lu family present, "Do you have any good ideas regarding the current situation?"
Those present were all the elites of the Lu family, and everyone began to whisper and discuss with each other.
When fighting with the Chen family, they were always coming up with ideas and solutions.
Now we have to deal with the new Liaodong Chamber of Commerce bookstores. To be honest, they are a little helpless and feel like there is nothing they can do.
The problem with the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce book store is that the quality of the books and paper is not inferior to that of the Lu family book store. The key is that the other party's price is only half of that of the Lu family book store.
Are they going to lower their prices to compete with them? If this doesn't work, not only will it not solve the problem, it may also be counterproductive and arouse the anger in the hearts of the readers.
Lu Yuan felt more tired than ever before.
Lu Yuan never understood, how could the matter reach such a serious stage?
Someone suggested, "Master, how about we invite the old master back?"
"Yes, please come back, old master!"
Lu Yuan hesitated, and before he could answer, at this moment, the door of the meeting hall was pushed open from the outside.
First, two rows of people filed in, then stood separately, and then two people walked in against the light.
This battle——
Lu Yuan stood up excitedly, "Dad, why are you back?"
Lu Yuanheng snorted coldly and cursed, "You idiot, if I don't come back, you will destroy the Lu family's industry!"
Lu Yuan felt that he could not be blamed for this matter.
"Lu Xihua committed such a thing, why are you still protecting him? It's okay to protect him, why can't you do it secretly? You openly cover him, are you afraid of ruining the name of our Lu family?
?”
Lu Yuan was scolded terribly by his own father.
He really felt that he was wronged! Later, after so many scholars boycotted their Lu family, he never took care of Lu Xihua again.
The Sheriff can handle it if he wants, and he will definitely have no problem with it.
But the Sheriff has never dealt with it. He can't directly talk to the Sheriff and throw Lu Xihua out to vent his anger on the Chen family, right?
Lu Yuan didn't know, but he was actually being blamed. The county magistrate had been suppressed and did not deal with Lu Xihua, just to keep irritating the Chen family.
"Dad, what should we do now?" Lu Yuan asked.
Lu Yuanheng said calmly, "Please give up your position as the head of the family."
Lu Yuan was shocked, "What?!"
"You don't need to be so surprised. Now the Lu family is at a critical juncture of life and death. If you can't solve it, leave it to someone who can."
"Dad, who are you talking about? Who has a solution?"
"Lu Fei!"
Lu Fei took a step forward and said, "Dad, it is me who my grandfather is talking about."
"You?!" Lu Yuan didn't expect that one day, his eldest daughter would come to compete with him for the position of head of the family! "Dad, is this not a joke?"
Lu Yuanheng said calmly, "I have no intention of joking with you."
Others were also stunned, their Lu family was going to have a female head?!
"Why?" Lu Yuan asked his father.
Lu Yuanheng: "I said, she can solve the current predicament and crisis of the Lu family. Isn't this reason enough?"
If this is true, of course it is enough.
Lu Yuan didn't believe it at all, "Can she solve it? How can she solve it?"
At this time, Lu Fei interrupted, "Grandpa, let me say a few words?"
"The current crisis for our Lu family lies in two points. First, the Chen family is pursuing and attacking us fiercely. We, the Lu family, have to brace ourselves to deal with it, which is a constant consumption of our strength. Second, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Book Shop is attacking our Lu family.
The impact of his bookstore."
Lu Yuan said sarcastically, "Well said, which one can you solve?"
"To solve the first problem is very simple, just ask Chen to stop."
Lu Yuan felt that her thoughts were too good. If the Chen family listened to her advice, would he still be helpless?
"The Chen family will not stop." So many people in the Chen family died, and they unilaterally declared a blood feud with them.
Lu Fei smiled, she knew that when she successfully took over the Lu family, Xie Zhan would also start taking action. After he took over the Chen family, he would naturally no longer be able to confront the Lu family.
"Then use the second method. At present, it can be said that the Lu family and the Chen family have fought to the bitter end and both sides have suffered losses. Whoever can get a living sum of money now will have the upper hand in this fight."
"And I can get a lot of money."
"After solving the Chen family, and then slowly cleaning up the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce book store, there will always be a way."
What Lu Fei said was initially recognized by the elders and chiefs of the Lu clan.
The method she provided at least solved the urgent need.
Lu Yuan was not a very capable head of the family, but because the Lu family's library was very powerful, the Lu family did not decline because of him.
People are at ease. The Lu family has been forced to fight with the Chen family for so long, and the clan has suffered heavy losses, so they no longer want to fight. Now that Lu Fei has shown a certain ability, and with the support of her old family leader, the clan has
Lao He and the bosses have no objection to her becoming the next head of the family.
Therefore, Lu Fei was ordered to become the new head of the Lu family.
When she learned that Lu Fei had become the next head of the family, her personal maid was in a daze. After she came to her senses, she said, "It's a pity that the Lu family is not what it used to be."
Lu Fei smiled, she knew clearly that if the Lu family had not experienced this disaster and had not been seriously injured, she would not be the head of the family. No matter how big the cake is, it is useless if it is not hers. No matter how small the cake is, it belongs to her.
Very fragrant too.
In the evening, Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Bookshop Dongcheng Store
"Please give way, please give way, thank you." Wu Ren opened the way, and several men behind him followed him carrying boxes.
It was almost closing time. In the bookstore, a familiar scholar asked Wu Ren, "Shopkeeper Wu, who are you?"
Wu Ren smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, don't think too much about it."
When he said this, it made people even more curious.
The scholars in the shop all looked outside and saw Wu Ren outside the bookstore, sharing poles with the people below. At his feet, there were already many boxes piled up, all of which were delivered by others just now.
The men who were assigned poles picked up two boxes tied with hemp ropes and left.
The scholars gathered together and discussed in twos and threes.
"What's in these boxes? They feel quite heavy?"
"I estimate it's the revenue of these few days."
"I think so too. The small box contains silver, right? The big box contains copper coins?"
"On the third day after the bookstore opened, did it make so much money?"
"People are already very cheap, and they earn what they deserve."
"Yes, we can't just focus on how much money others earn, we also have to see if we have benefited."
"No, no, no, what I mean is, when the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce bookstore didn't open, wasn't Lu's bookstore struggling to make money?"
"Should we follow them and see where they take the money?"
