Chapter 29: Out of Stock

The opening of Xinhua Bookstore has touched the nerves of many people.

And the price of a deck of cards for ten yuan also made many people stunned.

The little children who followed Fang Yiai to the bookstore, but left because of the price of ten yuan a pair, quickly spread the news......

"Brother-in-law, ten times the money is too expensive, right?"

Within two days, while my father was in the office of the court, Fang Yiai came to Han Wangfu again, and said with a bitter face: "Although my brothers are okay at home, the monthly cases are all ten, and I can't afford it at this price!" ”

"If you can't afford it, don't buy it."

After taking a slow sip of tea, Li Yuanjia smiled slightly and replied lightly.

"Uh......"

"Alright, beloved!"

At this time, Fang Fengzhu frowned and said, "What does it have to do with you whether they buy it or not?" Wouldn't it be nice to have you to use it? ”

"But ......"

Biting his lip, Fang Yiai was quite helpless.

He is a "big man", and of course he doesn't want to get entangled in such small things. However, the friends he met in the past two days were very unhappy, and he spoke in a weird way, which really made him a little unbearable.

"Dozens of pieces of paper dare to sell ten? Thinking about money and going crazy, right? ”

"With that ten dollars, I can make a hundred pairs by myself, right?"

"I went to the Xinhua bookstore, to be honest, not only the cards, but also the white paper, brushes, inkstones and ink are all the same, they are the most expensive in Chang'an!"

……

As soon as he heard these words, Fang Yiai really picked up a fist the size of a casserole and gave those boys a few blows!

Looking at his brother-in-law's distressed look, Li Yuanjia was suddenly happy: "Bereavement, that's a deck of cards, a thing used for entertainment, why do you care so much if it's expensive or cheap?" Besides, which of the things in my Xinhua bookstore is cheaper? The craftsmen can make that little in a month after working with all their might, so don't buy it if it's too expensive. ”

For the distress of Fang Yiai, he naturally does not take it to heart.

The price is very expensive, but in the future, those brand-name bags, leather shoes, clothes or something, which one is not expensive? A watch costs millions, and it is expensive to buy thousands of ordinary watches?

The cards he made are positioned as luxury goods, so what's wrong with selling them more expensive?

And......

The most important thing is to use the top hard paper, the top technology, and in order to ensure the production of paper, Wang Pu can draw up to two craftsmen to make cards, which means that a maximum of 180 pairs will be produced in a month, why can't it be sold more expensive?

Love to buy, don't buy rolling.

As for those people's complaints, complaints, or whatnot, Li Yuanjia doesn't care even more. He didn't have the idea of making friends with the officials of the DPRK and China, and this deck of cards would not let him offend anyone, and others could not complain?

And......

The cards he asked people to make, is the price the point?

So patting his brother-in-law on the shoulder, Li Yuanjia smiled slightly and said, "Beloved, I'll give you a few more sets of cards when I go back and wait for their next batch of cards to be made...... Alright, it's almost time, let's eat! Today, I specially asked Yu Niang to prepare a table of good dishes for you......"

……

After lunch, he sent off his brother-in-law, Li Yuanjia just wanted to cultivate a relationship with the princess, Han Lucheng hurriedly came in and asked to see him, and said happily: "Wang, all the blank papers in Xinhua Bookstore have been sold out, can you let the workshop send some more?" ”

"Huh? Paper sold out? ”

After listening to his words, Li Yuanjia was stunned for a moment.

Fang Fengzhu was also a little surprised, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Isn't there 14,000 sheets?" It's only been a few days, and it's sold out? ”

"Back to the king and princess, all of them are sold out!"

Nodding, Han Lu Chengxi said: "In the first two days, no one really bought it, but in the past two days, I don't know how, suddenly several high-rollers came, all of them bought a thousand sheets and a thousand sheets, and they were sold out in two days." ”

"High roller? Thousands? ”

After listening to Han Lucheng's words, Li Yuanjia and Fang Fengzhu looked at each other.

But this time, Fang Fengzhu reacted first, and soon said with a smile: "It seems that they have discovered the benefits of the blank paper in our house, this is to buy the next year's supply in one go!" ”

"Haha, can it still be like this?"

Hearing Fang Fengzhu say this, Li Yuanjia suddenly understood.

The real top giants, the amount of paper used in a year is not a small number. For example, like the Liang Guogong Mansion, Fang Xuanling's daily use is needless to say, just practicing calligraphy, painting or something requires at least hundreds of copies! Not to mention that there are a few brothers who are straight and love them, and the number adds up to more.

This is still Fang Xuanling's family is small, if there are more than a dozen sons and more than 20 princesses like Li Shimin, the amount of consumption in that year will be even greater. So it's really not surprising to buy thousands of blank sheets of paper in one go - although the price of white paper is expensive, but for the real elites, who cares?

"And the cards, they've been sold out in the past two days!"

Just when Li Yuanjia lamented Chang'an's spending power, Han Lucheng continued: "And many people want to pre-order, and there are hundreds of pairs just to be sure to buy!" King, are we urging the workshop to hurry up and do more? ”

"What? Hundreds? ”

Even if he repeatedly overestimated the consumption power of Chang'an City, after hearing this figure, Li Yuanjia's eyes widened in surprise......

……

"In just three days, hundreds of decks of cards have been set out?"

When Li Shimin heard the news in the Ganlu Palace, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and said in surprise: "Ten times a pair of cards, someone really buys it?" ”

"This ......"

After hesitating for a moment, Li Jian lowered his head and said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is true that no one bought it in the first two days, but then someone from the Zhao Guogong Mansion went to buy ten pairs, and everyone flocked to it." ”

Li Huan's words made the emperor's brows furrow: "A deck of cards is ten yuan, and hundreds of pairs are set out...... Doesn't it mean that Xinhua Bookstore has earned more than 1,000 yuan in the past few days? ”

Shaking his head, Li Jian hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, more than that!" In addition to card paper, Xinhua Bookstore still has a large number of pen, ink, paper and inkstones for sale, and they are also given the name of the Four Treasures of the Study...... The white paper made in King Han's Mansion is much better than that of Li's paper mill, so even if it is expensive, it sells quickly! I heard that in the past ten days, more than 10,000 pieces of white paper have been sold in Xinhua Bookstore, and every household in the city has hoarded a lot! ”

“……”

After listening to Li Huan's words, the emperor was completely speechless.

There are a lot of white paper from the Han Wangfu in the study of the Ganlu Palace, and Li Shimin knows very well how attractive this thing is to the literati - once he starts to use this kind of white paper, it is absolutely unbearable to use other things, even the top white paper of the Li family's paper workshop.

To put it bluntly, I just can't go back.

So even if the price is more expensive than the Li family, there is absolutely no need to worry about not being able to sell it in Chang'an City. Moreover, Chang'an City is almost concentrated in the magnates and wealthy merchants of the Tang Dynasty, and there is probably only one reason why only more than 10,000 blank papers have been sold these days, that is, the Han Wangfu has not made so many.

Thinking of the copper money earned in Xinhua Bookstore in just a few days, Li Shimin couldn't help but blush.

If it goes on like this, won't there be tens of thousands of yuan in a year?

Awesome, my brother.
