Chapter 37: Get Rich Together
"Miss Du?"
Zhou Jinyan saw her and greeted, "Why don't you come in and sit?" β
"Huh?" Du Yanran was stunned for a moment, walked out timidly, hanging her little head, "I heard that you opened a print shop, I want to print something." β
Zhou Jinyan glanced at the book in her hand and said with a smile: "Is it this book?" β
"Hmm." Du Yanran was a little bolder and said: "The book is very old, some places are broken, I want to get a new one, can you read it?" β
Zhou Jinyan was dumbfounded, as long as you pay, you can do anything, this little girl is a little too kind.
Taking the book in her hand, Zhou Jinyan said: "If you get all the books in your hand, plus binding, how about the money?" β
Compared with engraving printing, the biggest advantage of movable type printing is the advantage of quantity.
In terms of individual printing, there is not much advantage, but it is more convenient before work.
If you make a hundred copies of the wall, and the movable type is printed with explosive engraving, but only one copy is made.
The two are not much different.
It is just that the preparation of engraving printing is more troublesome, but in terms of quality, engraving printing is better.
However, Zhou Jinyan's movable type printing is the most advanced version, not the movable type printing of Bi Sheng in later generations.
Therefore, both in quality and quantity, it is not comparable to Datang's engraving printing.
"So cheap?" Du Yanran's apricot eyes widened.
"The time is shorter," Zhou Jinyan flipped through her book, "I can give it to you by this time tomorrow." β
"I, I'm not going to do it."
Du Yanran took her book, turned her head and hurried away, she felt that Zhou Jinyan was bragging.
In order to avoid his embarrassment, Du Yanran decided not to do it.
"Miss Du."
Zhou Jinyan stopped him and smiled: "You leave the book first." I'll promise you a copy tomorrow. β
Du Yanran froze in place, unable to advance or retreat.
Zhou Jinyan stepped forward and grabbed her hand, "You come with me, I'll show you a good thing." β
Du Yanran's brain was blank, and when he was pulled into the room, he reacted, and just about to break away, he heard him say: "Look, what is that?" β
With that, he had already let go of his hand.
Du Yanran was stunned for a moment, looking at the movable type printing in front of her, "This is engraving printing?" β
"Looks like?"
Zhou Jinyan stepped forward and took out two square words, "Look, what's the difference between this and the previous one?" β
Du Yanran was stunned for a moment, just now she saw that these fonts were all arranged together, and she thought it was a piece.
Who would have thought that it could be taken apart separately.
took the square font, looked at it twice, and Du Yanran said: "This is not engraving printing, this is this ......."
"What is this?" Zhou Jinyan asked with a smile.
"Wait," Du Yanran's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "This can be used in a big way... Firmness is required..."
As she spoke, she hurried over, picked up a few more square words, and stacked them together.
"You created this?"
After a while, Du Yanran turned around and looked at him in shock.
"I guess so."
Zhou Jinyan roughly explained to her the benefits of this kind of movable type printing.
However, most of them are aspects that Du Yanran has already seen.
"You, you're going to be famous." Du Yanran muttered: "Datang engraving printing has just become popular, and if you create such a printing, it will definitely become famous." β
"That's not right!"
Du Yanran said excitedly: "You are the son of General Zhou, and you will definitely be famous in the annals of history and will be remembered for eternity." β
"Hehe," Zhou Jinyan said, "You're right, but I don't want that false name, for the time being, I still want to make some money with these things." β
"Are you going to marry a princess?" Du Yanran calmed down, "I heard about you, if this thing is dedicated to Your Majesty, and then with your identity, there should be no problem in marrying a princess." β
"There is a big problem, Your Majesty will not marry the princess to me at will because of these things," Zhou Jinyan stared at her eyes. "Especially Princess Changle."
Du Yanran said: "For, why? β
"In short, these things will circulate sooner or later, and I am not in a hurry at this time," Zhou Jinyan gently stroked and touched the square words, "In business, instead of everyone making money together, it is better for me to make a big profit first." β
"Fame and fortune, how good you are to be famous." Du Yanran was puzzled.
"Why not fame and fortune?"
Zhou Jinyan smiled again in the corner of his eyes, "Only a few people know about this matter, and I hope that Miss Du will not tell others." β
A flush appeared on Du Yanran's delicate face, "You don't have to tell me." That's a big deal. β
Zhou Jinyan said with a smile: "You come to print, you can't let you down, especially this shop is still sent by your family, it is reasonable to let you know." β
Du Yanran was dizzy when she heard this, and lowered her little head and said softly: "Don't worry, I won't say it, but I think it is better for you to dedicate it to Your Majesty." β
"Everything is fake, making money to marry a princess is real."
Zhou Jinyan took the book from her hand, "Now, it's time to believe me, right?" β
Du Yanran chuckled: "You can make a book so easily, you should charge me 500 wen." β
He pretended to be at a loss, "Okay, I'll take Miss Du 500 Wen, who let me have the handle in her hands." β
Du Yanran said hurriedly: "I don't mean to threaten you, it's always the same." β
Her serious expression amused Zhou Jinyan, "I'm joking with you, if you say five hundred wen, it's five hundred." Come and pick it up tomorrow. β
Seeing that she had to say more, Zhou Jinyan said: "How many shops are you in charge of?" Do what? How's the business? β
"There are five shops, all kinds of businesses, and the business is not very good." Du Yanran replied with a glance.
Zhou Jinyan couldn't help but smile, "I have two shops in Chang'an, if the business is good at that time, how about making a fortune with you?" β
"Huh?"
Du Yanran was at a loss, and her face was flushed: "How to get rich?" β
"At present, I have the biggest printing advantage, several major printing shops in Chang'an, and the business will be robbed by me at that time, right?"
Du Yanran's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she bowed her head slightly.
"So my printing shop is definitely not enough, when the time comes, you will produce the shop and manpower, I will make this movable type printing, and make four or six points of money, you six and I four, how about it?"
Du Yanran is shy by nature, but she is very smart in business.
"You have made a lot of money, you can buy a shop, there is no need to cooperate with me, wouldn't you lose more if you cooperated?" She lifted her head and said.
Zhou Jinyan was stunned, he didn't know whether to say that Du Yanran was stupid or naΓ―ve.
Or is it too much kindness?
"This," he scratched his head, "it's not a loss, the main thing is that I'm afraid of trouble, and if you don't want to, I'll have to find someone else to work with." β
"I do." Du Yanran hurriedly said: "I am willing to divide the account fifty-fifty." β
She was very excited, but she didn't understand why Zhou Jinyan could make money with herself.
