    ?

    After Du Qi heard it, he shook his head and said: "There is no need to print it again, 10,000 copies are enough."

    When the money came again, he said worriedly: "Young master, after the books in the bookstore are sold out, then, if someone comes to buy them again, what shall we do? After all, there are less than 400 books left."

    Du Qi looked soft, and said with a smile: "Since it's sold out, of course I won't sell it. 10,000 copies have been sold outside, such a volume is enough. Those who like to read, although they can't buy them in our store  books, but you can buy them elsewhere."

    "Since there are books out there, there is no need to print more at the moment."

    "In this case, if we don't print it, it will make our books more valuable. Once we continue to print, it will easily make the books purchased by other booksellers unable to sell."

    "Once they can't sell, they may not buy so many in the future."

    "Because they bought a lot of books this time, the business is good, and when the next book sale, they will continue to buy books in bulk, and even the purchase volume will continue to increase."

    "This is also the way of business, understand?"

    Du Qi said: "The operation of bookstores is different from tea shops and restaurants. The contents of bookstores are extremely easy to be copied and imitated. It is impossible to monopolize this market. Therefore, it is best to make money."

    After Qian Zailai heard it, he nodded hurriedly.

    He agreed with Du Qi's words.

    Although Du Qi's words were not very profound, they made him suddenly enlightened, and he had some ideas.

    Du Qidao: "The price of Romance of the Three Kingdoms books cannot be adjusted downward. However, some classic books, such as "Guanzi", "The Analects", "Laozi", "Xunzi", "Zhuangzi" and other books, have to lower their prices, and then  sell it."

    Qian Zailai frowned, and said: "But the prices of these classic books in the store are already the lowest. If the prices are lowered, I'm afraid it will be a loss-making business, and it will not be able to make ends meet."

    Du Qi said solemnly: "Many of the books in your store were copied by you, or some were copied by others. It is not easy to adjust such a price."

    "But next, I will publish these classic books in batches instead of copying them. In this way, the cost of books will be minimized, and the price will drop a lot."

    "This is how we make money."

    Du Qi said: "We can lower the price, but others may not have the cost to lower the price."

    After Qian Zailai heard it, his eyes became brighter, and he looked excited, and said: "Young master is wise!"

    After a pause, Qian Zailai said, "My lord, do you have any other novels? Now it's just one book, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and it's really thin to rely on this book."

    Du Qi heard the words and said, "I didn't write it."

    He did this on purpose.

    After all, he specially used Luo Guanzhong's signature, and Luo Guanzhong himself topped the tank.

    Qian Zailai listened, smiled, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, my son is right. This book was written by Luo Guanzhong. My son, a great writer like Luo Guanzhong also has other works."

    Du Qidao: "Yes, yes, let's wait a few days."

    "yes!"

    When Qian Zailai heard about it, he immediately became excited.

    There is even a new book.

    Just a book of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Qian Zailai already felt incredible in his heart.  He didn't expect that Du Qi had other books in his hands.  In view of the jewels and jades in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Qian Zailai's heart is already extremely looking forward to.

    Qian Zailai said: "My lord, things are busy in the store, so I'll go back now."

    Du Qi nodded.

    After the money came back and left, Du Qi was still hiding in the house.  It's just that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, it's so hot that people are about to suffocate, it's really uncomfortable.

    Du Qi wished that it would be great to have an air conditioner in this era.  Even if there is no air conditioner, it is good to have a fan, at least it can relieve the heat.  It's a pity that there are no fans in this era, the only thing is a fan.

    In view of this, Du Qi was unwilling.

    He searched for the skills in his mind, and soon had an idea in his mind, but he looked at Liu Jian who was on the side, and asked, "Liu Jian, is there any ice in the cellar of our mansion?"

    In this era, many big families actually store ice cubes.  In winter, an ice cellar is dug out, and when it is freezing and snowing, the ice is taken and transported back to the ice cellar for storage in hot weather.

      In the royal family, there are even more.

    Some big families also have them.

    Liu Jian shook his head hastily, and said, "My lord, it is not easy to store ice cubes. There is no ice storage in our house. It is impossible for you to use ice cubes to relieve the heat. If it is hot, my lord, I can give it to you."  You played the fan."

    "No need!"

    Du Qi shook his head and replied, "Liu Jian, let's go, let's go to the pharmacy."

    Liu Jian raised his head, a little surprised, and asked, "Master, you are doing well, what are you doing at the pharmacy?"

    Du Qidao: "I told you to prepare the carriage, just go and ask so many questions."

    "Yes Yes!"

    Liu Jian smiled awkwardly, turned and left quickly.

    Du Qi changed his clothes and looked at the scorching sun in the sky. The sun was really hot.  Fortunately, he was traveling in a carriage, and there was a pharmacy nearby, and Liu Jian was familiar with the road. In less than a quarter of an hour, Du Qi came to a pharmacy.

    The name of the pharmacy is Huichuntang.

    It is a well-known pharmacy in Yongxingfang.

    The doctor sitting in the town is called Zhang Shizai, and he is a very famous doctor in Chang'an City.  Zhang Shizai is now nearly seventy years old.  He has practiced medicine for decades and saved countless lives. His medical skills are extremely superb.

    After Du Qi entered the Hall of Rejuvenation, he did not go to Zhang Shizai to see a doctor, but directly bought medicine and bought a large amount of saltpeter.

    Saltpeter is also a blind medicine.

    Therefore, there are a lot of saltpeter in the pharmacy.

    Du Qi bought a lot of saltpeter and went back, Liu Jian was even more puzzled. The problem was that Du Qi didn't explain at all, so he could only carry a large bag of saltpeter into the carriage, and then drove back.

    Liu Jian was still worried, he couldn't keep up with the young master's train of thought, and was worried that something might go wrong with the young master.  Therefore, Liu Jian said again: "My lord, what are we going to buy so much saltpeter for?"

    Du Qi said: "Ice making!"

    "Ice making?"

    Liu Jian had an inconceivable expression on his face, and said, "Young master, I have always heard that ice is harvested in winter, and special ice harvesters are needed. Ordinary people don't understand at all, even if they are mined  Ice stones can't be stored for a long time. But in this hot weather, how do we make ice?"

    Du Qidao: "This is what you don't understand. My son, I said that I can make ice, so I can make ice naturally. Liu Jian, don't you believe me, sir?"

    "of course not!"

    Liu Jian shook his head hastily, and said: "I really believe in you. To Liu Jian, you are like a god. Whatever you want to do, you can definitely do it."

    With a smile on Du Qi's face, he continued: "Since that's the case, don't ask too much. Next, you just need to watch. When we get home, we will prepare for the ice making. At that time, there is no need to ask any more questions.  Besieged by the heat."

    "yes!"

    Liu Jian nodded again to answer.

    Since Du Qi said it with certainty, he believes that it will eventually be made into ice cubes.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
