I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Chapter 61 The Opening of Chunshen Bookstore

The impeachment turmoil this time is like a typhoon. Although it comes fiercely, it goes away quickly.

In the next few days, it was as if this incident had never happened. Whether it was the Liu family or the Wei family, all the parties involved collectively remained silent.

Although everyone keeps silent, they also know that this high probability is just the beginning.

The capital has returned to its former calm, or it has always been so peaceful.

And with this tranquility, Wei Changtian also had a very regular life for a few days.

Fight in the morning, practice Tianluoquan and Guichen Dao with Xu Qingwan in the afternoon, practice calligraphy in the evening, and continue telling monkey stories in the evening.

Oh, and occasionally I will go to Yang Liushi to discuss it.

After all, Xiao Feng asked Yang Liushi to seduce him, so he had to put on a show.

In order to show that he has been "seduced" successfully, Wei Changtian swaggered every time he went to Fengqi Pavilion, and besides having to endure the jealous eyes of others, it was inevitable that Lu Jingyao would hear some gossip.

Wei Changtian never denied this, and Lu Jingyao was so angry that she would sulk almost every day.

In this way, on August 28th, two commendable things finally happened.

First, when Li Kan became a full-time official of Dali Temple, the system rewarded him with 100 points. Wei Changtian cleared his balance and successfully bought the second protagonist’s Gold Finger of the same style—“Che Yao”.

The second is that Chunshen Bookstore officially opened today to sell books.

It's not convenient for Wei Changtian to show up in this kind of thing, but Lu Jingyao couldn't help but ran to join in the fun, and didn't come back until dusk with the setting sun on her head.

...

"It's a pity you didn't go, there are so many people!"

In the study, Lu Jingyao sat across from Wei Changtian, happily reporting today's "grand occasion".

"Li Yang invited all the chief executives of the Yunyan Poetry Club, and many scholars went to watch the fun, and later they still gathered together to recite poems and write poems..."

This Yunyan Poetry Society is quite famous in the capital, and has gathered many literati.

However, in Wei Changtian's view, the function of all literati organizations is limited to communicating with each other about which brothel girls are good, and it does not help improve Wen's cultural accomplishment at all.

He looked at the chattering Lu Jingyao, and said helplessly, "It doesn't matter how many people go, the key is how well the books sell?"

"Of course!"

Lu Jingyao said excitedly: "The first five hundred copies of "Journey to the West" were sold out, and the collection of poetry collections also sold hundreds of copies..."

"It's really good."

Wei Changtian nodded.

Since it is a bookstore, it must not only sell one book, but also prepare some books such as poetry anthology and anthology of famous writers to sell.

Anyway, there is no awareness of copyright protection these days, and besides, most of the authors of these books have long since returned to the west, and they do not prostitute or whore.

It's just that this kind of book is also sold in other bookstores after all, so in order to improve the differentiation of Chunshen Bookstore, Wei Changtian did some research and finally threw out the concept of "Collector's Edition".

Books don’t have to be read, they can also be collected!

As soon as such a novel concept came out, Li Yang was shocked as Deva, and immediately put it into action, producing a batch of collection books.

The cost is more than ten times that of ordinary books, the price is dozens of times that of ordinary books, and the profit is hundreds of times that of ordinary books.

With only a few hundred copies sold, Wei Changtian can only lament that no one in any era can escape the clutches of IQ tax products.

"By the way, I even brought you back a collector's edition of Journey to the West!"

On the other side, while talking, Lu Jingyao suddenly remembered this important matter, immediately got up and ran back to her room, and soon came back with a beautiful silk bag.

The bag is entirely made of silk and satin, embroidered with elegant cloud patterns, and there are only four small characters arranged from top to bottom in the center - Chunshen Bookstore.

Wei Changtian took the bag in surprise, never expecting that Li Yang could use the word "luxury" to such an extent.

Although the concept of the Collector's Edition was proposed by himself, he always thought that it would be luxurious enough to add a harder cover to the book these days...

It seems that "spending money" has a long way to go for a pseudo-rich second generation!

Wei Changtian felt a burst of emotion, stretched out his hand and pulled the cloth strip at the top of the bag, and gently shook out the contents.

An extremely exquisite "Journey to the West" with a cover art.

A small wooden box in which a deck of playing cards is neatly stacked.

A neatly folded playing card instruction manual, which explains in detail the rules of five games, including "Fighting the Devil", "Cheating the Golden Flower", and "Howing the Earth".

Everything is printed with the logo of "Chunshen Bookstore", and besides that, there is a small silver swallow in the bag.

It is only the size of a thumb, but the carving is vivid.

"What is this?"

Wei Changtian played with Yinyan and asked casually.

"This is the token of the Chunshen Poetry Society."

Lu Jingyao explained: "Only when you buy the collector's edition of Journey to the West will you get this item as a gift, and having this item means you have joined the Chunshen Poetry Club."

"Chunshen Poetry Club? When did this happen?" Wei Changtian looked bewildered.

"Hehehe, Li Yang just came up with the idea a few days ago."

Lu Jingyao covered her mouth and said with a smile: "He invited a few talented women in the capital and many red cards from brothels to the poetry club with a lot of money. Many young masters bought books today without even thinking about it."

"???"

Good guy, I'm straight up a good guy!

The VIP membership system is out? What the hell is a part-time pimp, bah, high-end dating?

I'm afraid it won't be long before it becomes a large-scale business social platform!

Li Yang, you really didn't come from time travel? ?

Wei Chang Deva was dumbfounded, but Lu Jingyao thought he was yearning for the poetry club when she saw his appearance, so she hurriedly snatched Yinyan away, and muttered in her mouth.

"You are not allowed to go, it is not a good place..."

"..."

Wei Changtian was still focused on the matter of the bookstore, and didn't care about Yinyan being snatched away, so he was stunned for a while before asking a key question.

"How much does this set cost?"

"Fifty taels of silver." Lu Jingyao stretched out a small slap.

"Five, fifty taels?"

Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment: "Is there really someone who would spend fifty taels for this thing???"

Lu Jingyao affirmed: "Of course, didn't I just say that, many young masters bought it."

"..."

Wei Changtian opened his mouth, and asked the price of the "simplified version" of Journey to the West, and then roughly estimated today's profit.

Aside from the initial investment in venues and equipment, the net profit is about two to three thousand taels...

Even though it was the day of the opening, it's still...too much!

If Journey to the West and playing cards really become popular in the future...

The more Wei Changtian thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and he thought it was time to take out such a thing!

Throwing aside the collector's edition of Journey to the West in his hand, he raised his head and smiled and asked Lu Jingyao, "Do you want to play a game more interesting than poker?"

"Ah, ah?"

Lu Jingyao blushed, lowered her head and muttered: "Yes, what is it..."

Wei Changtian didn't see her reaction, so he said complacently:

"Mahjong!"
