Chapter 355 Publishing a book

After coming out of the reception building, Zheng Sisi and her friends turned and went to the Yousheng Teahouse. There were still so many people at the door, so they couldn't get in, and there was no need to go in.

Returning to the County Lady's Mansion, Zheng Sisi breathed a sigh of relief. The shops had been decided. Next, she would study what kind of food these shops were doing and then decorate them according to the business projects.

Zheng Sisi was also worried. Unlike in modern times, where you can find a franchisee to do anything, their service is very good. As long as you have a store and pay the franchise fee, they will directly supply you with goods and also provide you with training.

There is nothing you need here. You have to find materials, process them, and get training and services by yourself. It gives me a headache just thinking about it. I was just talking nonsense, but now I am the one who is tired.

There is no other way, we still have to realize it slowly. Let's discuss it after everyone comes back. Zheng Sisi wants to catch up on some sleep now.

Zheng Sisi got up from her lunch break, and Chuntao came over to report, "County Lady, the owner of a famous study in the capital came to visit you and said he has business to discuss with you. Do you need to see him?"

Zheng Sisi recalled what Zheng Zhimin and others had said yesterday, that a bookstore owner wanted to discuss publishing a book with the two gentlemen.

Zheng Sisi asked: "Do you know who is the owner of this study?"

Chun Tao shook her head: "I don't know, I'll send someone to check it out."

Zheng Sisi said, "No, it's too late. So, ask Meigui to ask the Third Prince. He has a lot of information and should know."

Chuntao went out, and Zheng Sisi did not delay and sat down to wait for Sheng Zhen to arrive.

Sure enough, Sheng Zhen arrived soon. Zheng Sisi explained the situation and Sheng Zhen said, "Let's go take a look first."

Zheng Sisi: "Okay."

When we arrived at the flower hall in the front yard, the owner of the study had already drunk two cups of tea. Butler Chen was beside him, and the two of them were chatting and laughing.

Seeing Zheng Sisi and Sheng Zhen come in, they stood up and saluted.

Zheng Sisi said, "Don't be polite, boss. I don't know what you want to talk to me about.

Shopkeeper Liu bowed and said, "Princess Anping, my last name is Liu, and I am the shopkeeper of Wenyuanzhai. I am disturbing you today because I want to discuss business with you."

Zheng Sisi: "Oh, what business does Shopkeeper Liu want to discuss with me?"

Shopkeeper Liu said, "It's like this. After the opening of the audio teahouse of Anping County Lord, there were storytellers in the teahouse. The stories told by the two gentlemen were interesting and fascinating. I heard about it and went to listen to one yesterday. I also deeply felt the wonderfulness of the story. I think such a wonderful story should be known to more people, but the county lord has only one teahouse, and the spread of the story is still limited. I think if such a wonderful story is printed into a book and sold in large quantities, more people will know the story of "Journey to the West". What do you think?"

While Manager Liu was speaking, Zheng Sisi looked at Sheng Zhen and asked if they could cooperate. Sheng Zhen nodded in the affirmative, and it seemed that there was no problem.

When Zheng Sisi heard Shopkeeper Liu's question, she said, "Well, Shopkeeper Liu, how do you think we should negotiate this deal?"

Shopkeeper Liu didn't expect Princess Anping to be so direct. He said, "I want to buy Princess Anping's script of Journey to the West."

Zheng Sisi: "How much does Shopkeeper Liu plan to pay for it?"

Shopkeeper Liu: "Two thousand taels to buy it out, the county lady can no longer sell it to anyone else. Of course, the county lady can still continue to own the teahouse."

Zheng Sisi nodded: "Well, very sincere, but I have a better way to cooperate, I wonder if Shopkeeper Liu is interested."

Shopkeeper Liu: "Please speak, Lady Anping."

Zheng Sisi took a sip of tea and said, "My plan is this: I will provide the story script, and you will be responsible for printing, promotion and sales. All income will be split 50-50. I have the final right to interpret and use the story."

Manager Liu thought for a moment and said, "County Lady, our study will suffer a loss if this happens. We need manpower and material resources, and we also need to find someone to print. Isn't a 50-50 split a bit too high? I can still accept 40-60."

Zheng Sisi smiled and said, "Manager Liu, you guys made the profit. Just think about it, what would happen if I printed it myself and sold it in a teahouse? With the means and connections between me and the Third Prince, I can sell this book to every corner of the Great Yue Kingdom, and even to other countries."

Shopkeeper Liu was silent. He had not thought of this. The Third Prince was sitting next to him. Princess Anping was not an ordinary person either. What Princess Anping said was indeed what she could do. It had nothing to do with him.

Seeing him silent, Zheng Sisi said, "Manager Liu, you need to take a long-term view. Besides, there can't be only one story, Journey to the West. There will be others."
