The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

"I have little talent and little moral integrity. I have already racked my brains and brains to write the work "Guns and Guns". I dare not compare it with Wei Zhizhou's masterpiece..."

"Mr. Jusheng, you are trying to hurt me!"

After hearing this, Bai Gui quickly became humble. Google search reading

Although he thought in his heart that his masterpiece Guns and Guns was not much worse than Hai Guo Tu Zhi, Wei Yuan was a senior after all, and he was a junior, so he had to be humble...

If Zhang Jusheng didn't look fake when he said it, he probably thought Zhang Jusheng was trying to flatter him.

If any stupid young man really accepted this sentence, the consequences would be disastrous.

In addition, when Wei Yuan was the official of Zhizhou, it was more appropriate for Bai Gui, as a descendant, to call Wei Zhizhou. Adding the surname and official position is also a way of addressing, such as Du Gongbu. Although Zhang Jusheng can be regarded as a descendant of Wei Yuan, he was born in the Hanlin Academy. His status is not low, and it is not an exaggeration to call him Wei Mo Shen.

"Meihe, you are right to be cautious."

When Zhang Jusheng heard this, he immediately understood it, shook his head and chuckled.

He didn't have any bad intentions, but he thought the book Guns and Guns was really good, that's why he praised it. But Bai Gui's humility at this time undoubtedly made him look high.

"This is Gao Mengdan, the manager of the Compilation Office of the Press, and he is also a scholar..."

"Brother Gao is also responsible for compiling the book Guns and Guns this time..."

Manager Liao introduced a second person. This person was younger than Zhang Jusheng, but he was also a middle-aged man in his forties. He wore round-rimmed glasses. He was a scholar. As he got older, almost everyone did not wear glasses.

"Thank you, Brother Gao, for taking the trouble to compile this time."

Bai Gui and Gao Mengdan shook hands.

Although Gao Mengdan's status is higher than that of Zhang Jusheng, Bai Gui and him are not far behind each other. Their ranks of fame are the same, so they can be called brother Gao instead of sir.

"Brother Meihe, I have long admired your name in Shanghai."

Gao Mengdan smiled.

The two shook hands.

Then Manager Liao also introduced several people in the box one by one. Most of them were famous. Even if they were not famous, they were from middle schools or Western schools.

Rongshun Restaurant is a famous Shanghai local cuisine restaurant and one of the birthplaces of local cuisine. The dishes are made of fresh fish, shrimps, crabs, eels, etc., and are famous for their fine selection of ingredients and mellow flavor.

During the banquet.

There are more than 20 dishes on display, including the signature dishes of Babao Duck, Braised Sansi, Salt and Pepper Pork Ribs, Squirrel Yellow Croaker, Bamboo Shoots and Eel Paste, as well as other famous dishes such as fried river shrimps and large black ginseng with shrimps.

"No wonder Mr. Bai said that Japan is a country lacking in delicious food..."

After taking a few bites of the food, Mitsuko Yamada suddenly felt that some of the dishes he had eaten all day long in Japan were indeed much bland.

"Wanshen is very nourishing. Eat more."

"Just recovered from illness..."

Bai Gui picked up a pair of chopsticks, shrimps, large black ginseng, and put them into Mitsuko Yamada's bowl.

On the field, these people were not surprised. They were all young and had never seen anything. Besides, the young man's admiration for Ai is justified. Just don't delay the business.

Everyone has a certain tolerance and patience for celebrities and geniuses.

"This is a contract for the second issue. Mr. Bai can take a look at it first."

After almost eating, Manager Liao took out the contract from his briefcase and said.

Director Zhang will not be very involved in signing the contract. It all depends on Manager Liao and others. He came here this time to make friends with Bai Gui. He will not interfere with contract matters.

"The pricing is reasonable, um..., with the 38% copyright tax, will your printing office suffer too much?"

"I am also a very easy-to-talk person..."

Bai Gui couldn't help but frown after reading the contract.

A bit too generous.

As a writer, he is embarrassed to charge such high royalties.

"Brother Meihe, you don't know how popular this book is in China. It is often shipped in the morning, and in the afternoon the bookstore will tell you that it is out of stock."

"With the popularity of this book, our printing office will not make less money..."

Manager Liao was slightly startled, then explained. valley

He didn't know why Bai Gui didn't sign a contract with them in Japan for the second issue. He thought that Bai Gui was ready to sell it for a price, so the Commercial Press also increased the royalties for the second issue a lot.

After hearing this, Bai Gui nodded. This was just a question. Since the Commercial Press itself was making money, he didn't have to refuse any more. He immediately wrote his name and stamped it with his private seal.

After dinner.

Several directors of the Commercial Press have also left the scene long ago, leaving only Manager Liao to accompany them.

Out of Rongshun Hall.

door.

Oriental cars were speeding along.

"Brother Liao, I am new to Shanghai and I don't know where the Jingwu Sect is. I would like to ask Brother Liao for some guidance..."

Bai Gui said.

"Jingwu Sect..."

Manager Liao was surprised for a while, and then glanced at Bai Gui. There was a big difference between practicing martial arts and not practicing martial arts. He had also investigated Bai Gui and knew that Bai Gui had good kung fu, and it was not low.

However, Fist of Fury is still quite famous in the Shanghai market, after all, Huo Yuanjia is there to support it.

But after he thought about it for a moment, he understood something.

"Brother Meihe, please wait a moment. I'll invite a carriage from the press to come here."

Manager Liao said.

A man depends on his clothes, and a horse depends on his saddle.

If Bai Gui just went to Jingwu Sect directly and rashly, who knew whether he would encounter an ignorant fool.

After a while, a high-end carriage stopped in front of Rongshun Hall.

"This is Director Zhang's special carriage. I'll lend it to Brother Meihe for your temporary use in Shanghai. Please don't refuse."

Manager Liao smiled, now they are the hosts, and Bai Gui is the guest, hospitality is a must. Besides, it is a good thing to be favored by a carriage at no cost. In addition, with Bai Gui's wealth, he does not lack this. Carriage money.

He said and pointed to the coachman on the carriage shaft, "This is Shunzi, who has been with you, Brother Mihe, these days."

"Shunzi, do you remember?"

"This is Mr. Bai, please listen to it carefully and don't be slow in the slightest!"

Manager Liao said to Shunzi.

"Master Liao, look at what you said, how dare I treat Master Bai so rudely? This master, please take a seat. I will take you to Jingwu Sect."

Shunzi got off the carriage, opened the door curtain, and said with an apologetic smile.

Mitsuko Yamada walked in first.

Then Bai Gui thanked Manager Liao and got into the carriage.

Xilulu!

The speed of the carriage is neither fast nor slow, and the roads in Shanghai are good.

Not bumpy.

About half an hour later, we arrived at the British Concession.

The patrol officer from the patrol room came forward to inquire as usual. When he saw that it was Director Zhang's private seat, he just took a quick look and let it go.

The carriage continued to drive for a while and then stopped.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, a high-end carriage suddenly came outside the door. It must be a big shot..."

"High-end carriage? How high-end?"

"Visually estimated that the carriage is worth at least a hundred silver dollars..."

"What are you doing so frizzy? Go call my dad!"

Not long after, everyone in the Jingwu Sect was dressed in costumes and waiting in front of the door.
