Chapter 50: Sit and Wait
Someone else paid a lot of money, but he didn't sell it?
Not only was the short and stubby man stunned, but the onlookers were also whispering in surprise inexplicably. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Aren't you selling newspapers just to make money?
Someone in the crowd whispered, "Isn't this Song Wu?" I have heard people say that the reason why the first few issues of the newspaper were so expensive was because he collaborated with others to collect and sell them cheaply, and finally made a small fortune. ”
Another shook his head and said, "No wonder the first issue of the handwritten newspaper is now fried to two taels of silver." Hey, I originally said I would keep a copy, but now I can't afford it. ”
Xiao Jing, who heard the conversation between the two, smiled slightly.
The newspaper's promotion plan was disrupted by people like Song Wu, but he didn't mean to be angry. First of all, this was what he expected; Moreover, it is a very simple market law that scarce things are expensive, and the spontaneous hoarding behavior of the people is acceptable in his opinion.
In Xiao Jing's previous life, newspapers also had many uses. In recent decades, it can be sold online as a "birthday newspaper". It is very meaningful to give a newspaper published on the day of his birthday on the birthday of the birthday of the birthday boy; Older ones will be acquired by collectors at a high price, and it is not uncommon for some rare editions to fetch sky-high prices.
This Song Wu, just think of him as a discerning investor. Anyway, the newspaper is sold by one person, and even if he takes it, eighty percent of others have read it; As long as he doesn't do the kind of bad thing that will smash the newspaper in his hand, Xiao Jing naturally won't say anything.
Besides, if someone is willing to sell it to him, it is also wishful thinking. Even if he pretended to take the newspaper and resell it in order to make money, it was someone else's business, and Xiao Jing couldn't care about it.
As the production capacity increases, this will gradually decrease. As long as the quality of the content is high, are you afraid that no one will read it?
Xiao Jing threw Song Wu's silver back, took out a mirror newspaper and handed it to him, and said with a smile: "Wuwen is good." ”
Song Wu was a little reluctant. However, at this point, he could only sigh and take out five cents.
Except for Shao Ning's quarrel with a customer who asked for a handwritten edition by name, today's sales were very smooth, and 1,000 copies of the newspaper were quickly sold out.
In a blink of an eye, it was almost noon.
"Why did you call us here?" Shao Ning, who pouted, looked unhappy, and it was estimated that three soy sauce bottles could be hung on his mouth.
Although he is a bit of a second, he is not stupid at all. As far as each newspaper sells for five cents and publishes an issue every half a month, even if it doesn't cost anything, how long will it take to save three thousand taels?
Anyone can figure it out. Shao Ning has always been a big grin, but now, even Pan Feiyu saw the anxiety and uneasiness on his face that could not be concealed.
"What? Of course, I'm waiting to see the excitement. Xiao Jing, who was looking from afar, enjoyed the feeling of being blown by the spring breeze: "If there is nothing serious, what should I do here?" It's not for white food! ”
This is the Huibin Lou restaurant outside the Ruidu City, not far from the east gate. As one of the Shaw Brothers' industries, the daily business is also not bad.
The shopkeeper saw that the young owner was coming, so he naturally wanted to be courteous, so the three of them were taken to the private room on the second floor. Xiao Jing was the master, and everyone didn't order any food, but just let the shopkeeper serve a pot of tea.
He already owes the Shao family too much. Fortunately, I will soon be able to return this favor.
"Business? What can we do standing here stupidly! Shao Ning stretched out his hand and slammed the table: "Instead of this, it's better to hurry back to Puhua Town, I'm going to see Yuxian!" ”
Looking for Su Yuxian? What are you looking for her for? Are you desperate for the three thousand taels of silver, and are ready to discuss with her how to elope?
Xiao Jing let out a long breath. If the person in front of me wasn't me, I'm afraid he would have punched him a long time ago, right? No, it must be worse than this, maybe he can tear me apart in a fit of rage......
On the other hand, it can be seen that this cynical and game-playing young man really regards me as a brother.
"What's the hurry? Wait a little longer. Xiao Jing said leisurely: "If we finish drinking this pot of tea, there is no movement below, and you can leave if you want to go." ”
Shao Ning picked up the teapot without saying a word, and was about to pour it into his mouth. Before the tea was poured, Xiao Jing said coldly: "If you finish drinking the tea like this, then let the shopkeeper refill the pot." ”
As soon as Xiao Jing said this, Shao Ning suddenly lost his temper. He sat back in his chair and muttered quietly with his head down.
The red sun is in the sky. If someone stood beside Xiao Jing, it would not be difficult to find that his eyes had been staring at the direction of the east gate of Ruidu.
It's almost time, it's time for someone to come, right?
After a while, he returned to the table and drank the last sip of tea from his cup. Seeing this, Pan Feiyu hurriedly refilled him with tea, and then shook the teapot, and only tea leaves were left in it.
Shao Ning frowned, wanting to speak; Xiao Jing pointed downstairs before he could speak, and Shao Ning, who was full of curiosity, immediately rushed to the window.
"What do you want Ben Gongzi to see?" He looked around and said angrily, "There's nothing special downstairs?" ”
Xiao Jing just smiled and shook his head, "You take a closer look." ”
Shao Ning took a few deep breaths and looked out again.
After a moment, his heart suddenly moved.
There are more people on this street than before? Is it my delusion?
In the past, Shao Ning also often came to this Huibin Building, and every time he was in this private room with the best view. He certainly knew better than anyone how many people would hang out below before lunch every day.
He rubbed his eyes, and his eyes were much more serious when he looked at the flow of people.
It really is. Not only are there many more pedestrians on the street than usual, but more importantly, many people stop in front of the Huibin Building!
There is also a restaurant across the street. Usually, the two are rivals in singing the same drama, and when it comes to the number of customers, they are often evenly divided; But today, compared to the bustle and noise of the Huibin Building, the restaurant is much more deserted. Not to mention that there are many birds, at least the little two who ran the hall have been bored and have been standing at the door for a stick of incense.
Shao Ning ran downstairs quickly. The sight in front of me speaks for itself: before the meal is at its peak, the lobby is already full, and many people are lined up at the door, waiting for the end of the meal to quickly give up the table.
When I looked up again, the private rooms upstairs were all full. The shopkeeper didn't expect today's business to be so good, he was hurriedly calculating the accounts, and at the same time he was anxiously directing the poor little two to do this and that.
Shao Ning returned to the room. He set his eyes on Xiao Jing, his eyes full of confusion and questions.
The business of the restaurant is good, what does it have to do with me?
As if knowing what he was going to ask, Xiao Jing, who was full of spring breeze, walked in front of him for the first time and said with a wicked smile: "Congratulations to Shao Gongzi, ready to marry a beautiful girl!" ”
