"The key is that you still need to have connections, otherwise, let alone two hundred taels, you won't be able to get the goods even if you spend three hundred taels!"

Looking at Cai Yilu's expression, Lü Bin sighed and said, "Mr. Cai, how about we find another business to cooperate on? To be honest, I really think this catalog is overpriced! I don't want you to have too much cost pressure and it to affect our relationship!"

Cai Yilu said in a deep voice, "Be quick about it, give me your bottom line."

Lu Bin paused for a moment, then leaned back slightly and said, "Boss Cai, do you think I'm trying to bargain?"

Cai Yilu said, "Business is business, of course, we have to make money. Just help your brother out, earn a little less, so that I can have a few more pieces of meat."

"Since you've put it this way, I'll be frank with you. The price is really unavoidable. The only way to lower the price is to consider the quantity you need..."

"I want as much as you can take!"

"I can get ten thousand copies, do you want them?"

"I want!"

Upon hearing this, not only Lü Bin but also Zhao Cheng were stunned.

What are these two doing?

Have you two even seen the goods? Instead, you're just babbling on and on!

The first volume of "Yingyingying" was published several times, but the total circulation was only 50,000 copies.

As for the initial print run of the second volume, Dong Hua is still investigating the market and has not yet determined it.

You two ordered all 10,000 copies?

Are you playing blindfold chess here?

Lü Bin seemed to tense up and asked, "Do you really want ten thousand copies?"

Cai Yilu said, "I never joke when I'm doing business."

After thinking for a moment, Lü Bin said, "One hundred and eighty taels is the biggest concession I can make."

"Boss Lü, I've been completely honest with you, and you've already shortchanged me by twenty taels?"

"Twenty taels is not a small amount! Twenty taels for one book, ten thousand books would be two hundred thousand taels!"

"Can I say something?" Zhao Cheng suddenly asked as Cai Yilu and Lü Bin were in a tense standoff.

Zhao Wu thought to himself: No way! You always criticize me for interrupting, but you're not allowed to interrupt anyone else either!

Cai Yilu was waiting for Zhao Cheng to speak, so he quickly poured Zhao Cheng some wine and said, "It's alright, Brother Zhao, please speak freely."

Zhao Cheng nodded, looked at Lü Bin, and said, "I don't understand your business, but all businesses are the same. I just heard you say that this picture album was only priced at twenty taels in Yanchuan, so why is it priced at two hundred taels here?"

"Mr. Zhao may not have been listening to us carefully."

Lü Bin said with a forced smile, "Although this picture album hasn't been released yet, it's already in high demand and short supply. The pre-sale slots are already full, and you'll need connections to get your hands on it!"

"I understand, it means you need someone with strong connections in Yanchuan."

"Yes!"

Zhao Cheng took a sip of wine and said, "May I ask, Mr. Lü, who is this good friend of Yan Chuan?"

Lü Bin didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Cai Yilu and then at Zhao Cheng before saying furtively, "Do you know the young prime minister of Yanchuan?"

puff!!

Zhao Cheng spat out a mouthful of turbid wine!
