Chapter 182: The Family Takes Over
At this time, Wang Jue, the head of the Wang family, prepared a table of banquets.
At the banquet, they are all people from the family.
The news that Tianyi Bookstore sells cheap books and is still annotated has spread throughout Chang'an City.
How could they not know? Moreover, they also know very well in their hearts what this means to their families.
I have something on my mind in my heart, how can I eat peacefully at this banquet?
Therefore, it took less than half an hour for the banquet to end in a hurry.
Wang Jue directly invited everyone into the living room, cleared all the maids who were waiting, and sent people to guard the door, and never allowed outsiders to approach.
What they need to talk about next is very high, and they must not allow it to be divulged.
After everyone got together, Wang Jue couldn't help but say: "The eldest grandson Wuji sells the necessary books for the imperial examination at a low price, and it is still with an annotated version, which clearly shakes the foundation of our family." I think everyone knows about this matter, so let's talk about your opinions! β
Cui Zhiji of the Cui family couldn't help but say: "In this, I'm afraid that it wasn't the eldest grandson Wuji alone, behind this, I'm afraid that the emperor is standing." Your Majesty, this is a butcher's knife raised against our family, don't be careful! β
Hearing Cui Zhiji's words, Wang Jue's face couldn't help but show approval.
There is someone in the follow-up of the Cui family, this Cui Zhiji, although he is not very old, but he can see this, which shows his resourcefulness.
And Lu Yong of the Lu family said to Sen Ran: "Li Shimin's child, he is so bold, has he forgotten how the former Sui perished?" provoked us, so they joined forces to overthrow the Tang Dynasty, and simply let us be the emperor ourselves. β
Hearing Lu Yong's words, the faces of the other families were a little ugly.
Zheng Hao of the Zheng family couldn't help but say: "Brother Lu said cautiously, now this Tang Dynasty is not as good as the former Sui!" If we really want to move, we will inevitably drag our family into the abyss. β
Li An of the Li family couldn't help sneering: "However, now it's not that we don't want to cause trouble, but that he, Li Shimin, has already raised the butcher knife high, can't we just be killed in vain?" β
Lu Yong sneered: "Provoke us, first cut off his salt and iron industry, and let the world be in chaos." Then let's push it secretly, and when the time comes, we may not be able to overthrow his Li Shimin's rule. β
At that time, the salt industry was in the hands of the Wang family, and the Boling Cui clan and the Zhaojun Li clan joined forces to monopolize the iron industry.
Fanyang Lu's boats and cars travel all over the world, and Xingyang Zheng's is engaged in silk tea bricks.
As for the Qinghe Cui clan of the super gate valve, he is involved in everything about people's livelihood, in other words, he is engaged in any industry.
If these companies join forces to do things, it will inevitably cause chaos in the world.
Of course, if Li Shimin really wants to clean them up.
It will definitely be able to completely eradicate all their forces in a short period of time.
If you really want to make trouble to this point, it will be to the point where the fish will die and the net will be broken.
As a last resort, these families don't dare to mess around like this.
At this time, Cui Zhiji couldn't help but smile and said: "Everyone, what you said is our last choice as a last resort. It doesn't seem to have reached this point yet, so why don't we listen to the opinion of the head of the Wang family? β
Hearing Cui Zhiji's words, everyone else had thoughtful expressions on their faces.
In fact, including Lu Yong and Ang Lee, it sounds arrogant, but they are by no means brainless people.
There must be a reason why the family has been able to survive hundreds of years, and the rulers have been constantly changing, and they have been able to maintain the longevity of the family.
If he is really such a reckless person, how can he represent the family and be stationed in Chang'an?
Hearing Cui Zhiji's words, these people immediately stopped talking, and couldn't help but look at Wang Qi.
Wang Qi smiled faintly and said: "The old man also thinks that things have not yet reached the point where the fish is dead and the net is broken. Several of you also have a book business, and you have all seen the books they engraved. The old man wants to ask you, if you engrave it, how much does this book cost? β
Lu Yong said thoughtfully: "At least it will not be less than 1,500 yuan, or even higher, until 2,000 yuan." β
The data given by several other companies is almost all on this number.
Wang Qi nodded and said, "Ah, but the price they sell is only fifty yuan!" So why did the emperor do this business at a loss? β
Hearing Wang Qi's words, Cui Zhiji couldn't help but say thoughtfully: "What the head of the family means is that the emperor is joining hands with the eldest grandson Wuji to do this regardless of the cost. In order to make those poor people can afford to read, and to interrupt our family's monopoly on culture. And we, can make a fuss about this? β
Wang Jue nodded approvingly and said, "Yes, the old man has this intention." Since the cost price of this book is at least fifteen hundred dollars. And their selling price is one-thirtieth of the cost price, if it can reach the level that most people in the world can afford to read, this cost is not a small amount, the emperor is really willing to spend his blood! β
"However, do you want to compare the financial resources with our family? Li Shimin is just afraid that he is still too naΓ―ve, right? The old meaning is that we have joined forces to buy all their books, and we will buy as many as they engrave! The old man wants to see how long they can last! β
Lu Yong slapped the table and laughed: "The master of the family has a wonderful trick, since they want to play, then let's play with them!" β
Li An couldn't help but say: "What the head of the family means is that several of us will jointly fund, advance and retreat together, and hit them hard once, so that they can recognize the power of our family." β
Wang Qi smiled and said, "Yes, that's what the old man meant, I don't know what you guys think?" β
β¦β¦
Soon, several companies reached an agreement to buy all the books at their expense.
And this time, Cui Zhiji came forward and went directly to Tianyi Bookstore to buy.
The plan was decided, Cui Zhiji came directly to Tianyi Bookstore, found their shopkeeper and asked: "Shopkeeper, I don't know how many such books there are in your bookstore?" β
Although the shopkeeper didn't know Cui Zhiji, these eyes ushered in, and he could naturally distinguish between high and low.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "This son, there are probably hundreds of books in our bookstore, I don't know what the son means?" β
Cui Zhiji said lightly: "In this way, all the books in your bookstore have been bought." In addition, if your bookstore buys again, how many books do you want. This time, my son has received a deposit of 1,000 guan, and you can pay it now. β
Hearing Cui Zhiji's words, the shopkeeper couldn't help but be surprised and happy, but faintly, he also noticed a trace of inappropriateness.
Therefore, I did not dare to say it full.
