Chapter 38 Counterfeit Products
Changwang Mansion, back garden, Zhao Chang sat on the stone table, and slowly tasted a glass of white wine, his face full of enjoyment.
Zhang Heng sat aside, thinking about how to mention the matter of the newspaper to him.
After Zhao Chang drank a bowl of wine, he looked at him and said, "This wine is indeed strong, I only drank a few sips and felt a little dizzy, but this is the wine that men should drink." ”
Zhang Heng said with a smile: "It's good if the prince likes it"
"What reward do you want?"
Zhao Chang looked at him and asked.
"Lord Wang, I have something to ask for, I don't know if the Lord is willing to do me a small favor."
Zhang Heng is also nervous now.
Zhao Chang took another sip of wine, slurped, and said, "Say it!" While I am glad today, I will grant all your requests to the king. ”
Zhang Heng hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, I want to run a newspaper, I need your help." ”
Zhao Chang put down his wine glass, glanced at him, and said: "Now that the imperial court has explicitly banned newspapers and periodicals, you still dare to do this, and you have found me, you are not small!" ”
"Lord Wang, I also came to you with someone to guide me."
Zhang Heng thought that Qingyu's identity must not be simple, otherwise it would be impossible to know a prince.
"Who is it?"
Zhao Chang asked.
Zhang Heng said directly: "Qingyu, you should know it!" ”
Zhao Chang nodded and said, "It's that girl!" This is not surprising. ”
"Then Qingyu should be very familiar with you!"
Zhang Heng tried to find out Qingyu's identity.
"Yes, it's the daughter of a friend of mine."
Zhao Chang replied casually.
Zhang Heng opened his mouth and continued; "Lord Wang, can you run a newspaper office?"
Zhao Chang thought for a while and said: "If someone else does this, it won't work at all, but if I go and tell Your Majesty, it's not impossible, but if this thing is done, the court will get benefits, and I will also get benefits." ”
Zhang Heng said the plan he had thought of before: "If the imperial court agrees to set up a newspaper and forty percent of the income will go to the imperial court, the prince, as for your benefits, you will definitely not be treated badly, and you will make a lot of money in the future." ”
Zhao Chang glanced at him and said, "It seems that it is quite a matter of trouble to run this newspaper!" Forty percent of the income was given to the imperial court. ”
"Isn't this hoping that the imperial court can agree to run this newspaper!"
Now Zhang Heng is also very excited, and he is also looking forward to this newspaper.
"Here, wipe your hands, what do you think of this toilet paper?"
Zhao Chang picked up a piece of toilet paper and handed it over.
Zhang Heng glanced at it, and saw that the word Jierou was printed on this tissue, so he knew that this tissue was a paper towel produced by Houjia, and said, "It's very good." ”
Zhao Chang looked at him and said, "This tissue is very comfortable to use, you can buy some to use, it's very good." ”
"Thank you, I have a lot of them at home."
Zhang Heng smiled.
"Really? These tissues aren't cheap! If it weren't for me, the prince, I might not be able to use it. ”
Zhao Chang sighed.
Zhang Heng spread his hands and said, "Because this toilet paper, as well as toothbrushes and toothpaste, were all invented by me." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Chang couldn't help but be stunned, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "I didn't expect you to have this ability, that strange Qingyu will let you come to me, it seems that we need to know more about it in the future." ”
"What the prince said is that we can come out to gather more in the future."
Zhang Heng nodded in agreement.
Immediately, the two also started talking.
Two hours later, Zhang Heng also walked out of the palace and prepared to go home.
"Selling toilet paper, authentic toilet paper."
When Zhang Henglai was walking on the street, he suddenly heard a shouting from the store next to him, he couldn't help but stop, walked into the store and looked up, and saw that the toilet paper on the counter inside was all Jierou brand, but he didn't remember when Houjia opened a shop here.
"Guest, come and see! Authentic Jierou toilet paper, now a new store opens, only 400 Wen. ”
A guy came over and introduced.
"Is this the gentleness of the Hou family?"
Zhang Heng opened a package of toilet paper and found that the toilet paper inside was very rough in workmanship, and it was not toilet paper produced by the Hou family at all.
The guy hurriedly said, "Of course it is! Our goods here are imported from the Hou family. ”
Zhang Heng didn't expect him to see counterfeit and shoddy products so soon, this is troublesome, there is no property rights protection in this era, it will be troublesome to solve this problem, and the reputation of the Hou family will be greatly affected if it is not stopped in time.
Immediately he also bought a pack of paper and left.
Hou Furong waited for her father in the room, feeding her father medicine.
Master Hou sat up, leaned on the head of the bed, and said, "Daughter, how is the business of the workshop now?" ”
"Dad, business is not bad now, so you don't have to worry about it."
Hou Furong covered him with a quilt.
"That's good, Dad is sick, and the burden of supporting the family will fall on you, it's too hard for you."
Master Hou's face was also full of haggardness.
"Dad, don't think about it so much, just take care of your injuries."
Hou Furong comforted, then got up and walked out.
At this time, a maid came up to her and said, "Miss, someone is looking for you." ”
Hou Furong walked out and saw that it was Zhang Heng, she also opened her mouth and asked, "Zhang Gongzi, why are you here?" ”
"I'm looking for something for you, look at this."
Zhang Heng handed over the toilet paper he bought.
"Although this paper towel has a clean and soft logo, the workmanship is too rough to be made in our workshop at all."
Hou Furong appraised it, and her brows couldn't help frowning.
Zhang Heng said in a deep voice: "Now there are people counterfeiting our products, if you start this head, this trend will not be able to stop." ”
Hou Furong also realized the seriousness of the matter and said, "What now?" As long as the businessmen find that there is money to be made, they can do anything. When the time comes, it will definitely be out of control. ”
"Now we just have to build momentum, build our brand, and let everyone know that we are genuine."
Zhang Heng already had an idea in his heart, although there is no intellectual copyright in this era, and it is not officially protected, but this era is particularly favored for reputation, which can be used.
"So what should we do?"
Hou Furong saw that he was very calm, and her hanging heart couldn't help but let go.
"Tomorrow we will set up a stall on Juhe Street, and we will sell toilet paper while giving the people the idea of resisting piracy."
Zhang Heng knew that the problem of piracy could not be cured, but it would not affect the Hou family's business.
"Zhang Gongzi, thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do, so I decided to give you 30% of the income from the workshop."
"You're welcome, you're so polite."
"It's all as it should be."
