Yun Jingxuan Bookstore opened, and the legend of the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties published the first volume, about twenty pages bound together, with traditional Chinese characters in vertical version, Su Chen looked quite laborious, but this format is in line with the habits of the ancients to read books.

In order to avoid the book being harmonized, Su Chen deliberately exaggerated the merits of Li Tang, described Nan Chen less, and the Emperor Chen was not so absurd, and the city of Jiankang (Jinling) was conquered after bloody resistance, so as not to falsely accuse the author of using Nan Chen to mock the Tang State, which was also in the south of the Yangtze River.

Su Chen tried his best to make readers feel that Li Yu was a descendant of the Tang Dynasty for three generations, which was beautifying their ancestors and had a certain orthodox bonus to the Tang Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River, so that the legitimacy of this book in the Southern Tang Dynasty would be higher, and the probability of being sealed would be greatly reduced.

Outside Yunqingxuan, there has been a long queue to buy books, ninety percent of them are male scholars and sons, and there are relatively few female readers.

"Brother Zhang, you're here too."

"Yes, it's good to listen to the commentary, the heroes of the Sui and Tang dynasties went to Wagang, there is affection and righteousness, buy it back and take a look, and listen to the commentary, it feels different!"

"Haha, Brother Zhang's idea coincides with that of the younger brother."

From time to time, the queue was discussing their views on the purchase of books.

Su Chen passed by outside, saw all the scholars, and thought in his heart: At any time, female users are more willing to pay, after all, the word "losers" has been shouted for thousands of years, there must be a reason, in a few days to print the first volume of the West Chamber, it is estimated that the first printing will be directly doubled.

Entering from the side, in the backyard of Dao Shuxuan, Han Yunpeng was directing the chief worker of the study to carry the books outside, and half of the inventory had been emptied, and at least a thousand copies had been sold.

"It's okay to sell, right?" Su Chen asked.

Han Yunpeng smiled like a flower, his eyes were almost squinted and he couldn't see, and said with a smile: "Of course it's good, this book sells for ninety-eight wen, and three thousand copies are two hundred and ninety-six yuan, deducting the cost of paper, printing materials, the wages of craftsmen and long-term workers, and the profit of one hundred and ninety, according to the proportion, I account for thirty percent, so it is ...... Fifty-seven times, enough for me to go to the flower house to eat flower wine once. ”

Su Chen couldn't imagine that Han Yunpeng, who had never been in business, was still very shrewd in settling accounts, nodded and said: "Look at the overall sales, if you can sell short in these three days, you can also print two thousand copies, and after the other study rooms get the rubbing, they will engrave and print, and the pirated copies will soon come out, and when the time comes, it will inevitably lead to a price war, rough paper, the price will be lower, and it will rob us of the genuine market." ”

Han Yunpeng said worriedly: "Why don't we use the worst paper?" ”

Su Chen shook his head and said: "Our quality Ge hemp paper already belongs to the middle and lower grade paper, if you use the most inferior paper, give customers a bad impression, and if you smash our signboard, after all, we are the only genuine bookstore of "Sui and Tang", and we need to have certain standards and bottom lines." In addition, we also need to print a small number of fine books on medium and high-quality paper, and the packaging should be designed, that is, the collector's edition, which is specially collected by the rich sons and powerful people, and the price is always a book! ”

"High, really high!" Han Yunpeng smiled, and he was also very impressed by Su Chen's business insights.

Su Chen smiled and said: "In seven days, we will print the second volume of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and tomorrow we can let people post advertisements, do publicity and promotion in advance, and issue vouchers, five-wen vouchers, which can be used for ten wen!" ”

He put forward a few of the "cat-tao" methods in later generations to use, which was enough to do a good job in ancient times.

For example, why the price of a book is 98 wen instead of 100 wen is based on the experience of consumer psychology in later generations.

After leaving the bookstore, Su Chen came to the Bai family's soap-making workshop, inspected the raw materials, production equipment, spice ratio, etc., and then personally supervised the production.

This time, dozens of craftsmen are working together at the same time, which is different from when he was working alone at home, each process is separated and placed in different rooms, which not only ensures that the recipe is not known to everyone, but also improves the operation proficiency of a single station, and does not have to process from scratch to finish alone.

Su Chen strictly controls each process, and monitors and adjusts according to the dilution degree of oil, the color of condensation, and the size of the fragrance to ensure that the quality of the first batch of soap can be passed.

Dusk came, Su Chen, who had been busy all day, finally breathed a sigh of relief, watching the craftsmen get off work, and he leaned on a wooden chair in the courtyard, watching the sunset, and resting his fatigue.

A figure walked in from the gate of the workshop, Su Chen didn't care at first, but when he heard the cough, he looked up and found that the old man of the Bai family, who he hadn't seen for a long time, appeared in his field of vision.

Su Chen stood up and said politely: "Old man Bai! ”

Bai Fengxian slowly walked to the courtyard, his crutches touched the ground, glanced at him, looked at the several workshops of this workshop, and muttered: "Stinky boy, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into Su Su, deceived her mind, and even the family's porcelain business she relaxed, and took out so much energy to engage in this soap gadget with you." ”

Su Chen smiled faintly and said, "As smart as your granddaughter, can you be deceived by others?" If it's not profitable, she won't care, and you still worry about her! ”

Bai Fengxian snorted: "The Bai family started with porcelain, and it is also the supporting industry of the huge Bai family, how much money can I make by relying on your soap, can I make the Bai family put the cart before the horse?" ”

Bai Fengxian had some opinions on this matter, and he was also a little wary and vigilant about his granddaughter getting too close to Su Chen.

Su Chen defended: "What's wrong with soap, it will soon become an indispensable thing for thousands of girls and women in Runzhou City, and it is also a consumable, which often needs to be bought, from Runzhou to Jinling, and then to the Song Kingdom, Khitan, Shu Kingdom, etc., it has always been a money, and if it is sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan, it is hundreds of thousands of dollars, which may not be as big as the porcelain market and good profits!" ”

Old Man Bai was stunned and said: "It's just such a thing, the size of a palm, and it has always been a money, you guys are trying to rob money?" It's too dark. ”

Su Chen didn't like to listen to it, and retorted: "What is it called robbing money, this is a reasonable market price, one is willing to buy, the other is willing to sell, you love me, how can it be dark." ”

Old man Bai pondered for a while, and the conversion of sales amount and profit flashed in his mind, but he was still thinking about how to make the porcelain industry bigger, especially the family crisis, the Ding family began to make trouble for the Bai family one after another, how to save himself, and become the first ceramic family in Jiangnan is his wish.

"In addition to the things used by these women, writing the words sung by women, and curing diseases, do you understand ceramics?" Old Man Bai asked the question he had been holding back for days.

"What are you doing?" Su Chen glanced at him.

The old man of the Bai family said: "If you also know a little bit about making pottery and porcelain, you might as well talk about it, if it can be adopted by the Bai family, I can give you some compensation, how about ten taels of useful advice for each piece?" ”

Only ten taels? You sent to ask for food, Su Chen slandered in his heart, he is not the poor scholar who was in the four walls of his family now.

"Old man Bai, I didn't expect you to be so picky! I only now realize that your granddaughter is already generous and a conscientious partner compared to you. I don't want you to communicate with me, if there is cooperation in the future, let Su Su come and talk to me, although she is also a profiteer, but at least there is a bottom line, you old ...... It's almost fine. Su Chen pursed his lips, he really felt that there was nothing to talk about with this profiteer.

"Rabbit cub, who is the profiteer, who is about to become a sperm!" Old Man Bai was angry, and he raised his cane to hit him, Su Chen laughed loudly, ran out of the courtyard gate of the Bai family's workshop, and went straight back to Su's house.
