Chapter 39 Opening of the Chamber
Chapter 39 Opening
On this day, after Cao Shuang took leave in the private school, he went straight to Jia's paper shop. Today is the opening day of Jia visit paper shop, as the shareholder of the paper shop, also known as one of the owners, Cao Shuang naturally wants to go to the market. From a distance, I saw many people gathered at the door of Jia's paper shop, and the scene was very lively. Jia Wan has also been in business for many years, so he naturally knows how to attract the attention of passers-by.
"You see that this word is vigorous and powerful, and it is definitely from the hand of a famous artist." A young man dressed as a Confucian said.
"Words are secondary, look at this paper is whiter than what we usually see." Another person next to Confucius said, and the attention of the other onlookers also shifted from the words to the paper, and they all echoed, "Yes, this is much better than the yellowed paper." ”
At this time, the shopkeeper of Zhengyuan Paper Store walked out, "Thank you for your support, today we Zhengyuan Paper opened." Anyone who buys white paper in a small shop is given a fine brush and ink. Everybody, please inside. Of course, Jia Wan will not play in person, and everything will naturally be taken care of.
Cao Shuang walked into the store and touched the white paper on the counter, which was much better than the paper Feng Hui gave him for the first time. Many people have already paid for paper, and the price of a piece of paper is about ten yuan, which is not very expensive. Jia Wan looked at such a hot paper shop, and the smile in his mouth could no longer be hidden. Seeing Cao Shuang's arrival, Jia Wan hurriedly stepped forward, "Meet Cao Gongzi." ”
"Brother Jia, business is good." Cao Shuang is also very happy, this paper shop also has his shares. Jia Wan modestly said that all this is the credit of Cao Shuang, and he does not dare to take credit. The people who buy white paper are some retail investors, you have more than 10 sheets, I have more than 10 sheets, and the sales volume is not large.
While the two were greeting, several people in official uniforms walked in, "Which one is the shopkeeper?" ”
The shopkeeper of the paper shop is named Jia Fu, and he is a member of Jia Wan's clan. Jia Fu smiled all over his face, "What are the officials doing here?" ”
"We belong to the Shangshu Mansion, and we have come to buy 5,000 pages of white paper by the order of the Shangshu Order, and all documents will be changed to white paper in the future." These people are the officials of Shangshu Mansion, and they came to buy white paper on the order of Xun Yu of Shangshu. The person who took the lead was very polite, obviously knowing who the backstage of this paper shop was.
As he was talking, two people in military uniforms walked in, "On the order of General Xiahou, come to purchase 10,000 pieces of white paper." In the future, the Chinese books of the Chinese army under the administration of General Xiahou were all changed to white paper and recommended to other generals. "One of these two people is Xiahoudun's deputy general, and the other is Xiahouyuan's deputy general, and they came to support Cao Shuang this time.
The jaws of the onlookers were about to drop, who is the owner of this shop, and the Cao Group's every article and martial arts is so face-saving. Compared with bamboo slips and cloth, white paper is indeed very convenient. After Cao Cao returned, he was full of praise when he saw the blank paper, and ordered it to be promoted throughout the territory and the whole army under his rule. At that time, the sales of white paper skyrocketed, and Cao Shuang and Jia Wan made a lot of money.
In the backyard of the paper shop, Feng Hui led people to make paper, and the paper that Shangshufu and the Xiahou brothers wanted should be rushed out as soon as possible. Cao Shuang quietly walked behind Feng Hui and blindfolded Feng Hui, "Guess who I am?" ”
"Childe, don't make trouble, people still have to make paper." Originally, due to the steam, Feng Hui's face was red, and Cao Shuang's face was even redder.
"It's really boring, Sister Hui guessed it as soon as she guessed." Cao Shuang shook his head and took out a handkerchief from his arms to help Feng Hui wipe the sweat on his face. Cao Shuang's very common method made Feng Hui's face burn hot.
Feng Hui pushed Cao Shuang, "Okay, okay, the son is still far away." Let's go into the house with Jia Gongzi. ”
Jia Wan, who was not far away, smiled kindly, "It's really a young man." Cao Shuang happened to hear this, and Cao Shuang looked at Jia Wan with ill will, "Brother, the mouth in the north of the city, my sister-in-law hasn't seen it yet." After hearing this, Jia Xun honestly closed his mouth. Jia Wan's wife is very strong, and Jia Wan is still more afraid of guilt. Jia Wan never dared to take a concubine, and secretly bought a house outside the city behind his wife's back and accepted a concubine. Jia Wan hid this matter very well, but he couldn't hide it from Cao Shuang.
"Cao Gongzi's methods are really powerful, even Xun Lingjun and General Xiahou can help." Jia Wan asked people to serve fragrant tea and sit down in the room.
Cao Shuang drank tea, and the expression on his face was very exaggerated, "Rich people are different, my tea is no different from this leaf." Jing Yang stood behind him with a mask, motionless.
Jia Wan smiled awkwardly, "If Gongzi Cao likes it, I'll have someone bring you some later." ”
"Brother Jia, you have to be ready to expand production." Cao Shuang put away his indecent expression and said with a serious face, "We want to let our blank paper promote the world, and where there are people, there will be white paper." Hearing this, Jia Wan was also infected by Cao Shuang's ambition, as if he saw that everyone in the world was using Zhengyuan white paper, and Jia Wan seemed to see countless money coming towards his money box. Cao Shuang wanted to expand his intelligence network through the expansion of Jia Wan's business.
The struggle for world hegemony sometimes relies not only on force, but also on economic and diplomatic means, which can often become an important means of the game between the two countries. You don't see that a certain super-country in the future generations will sacrifice the stick of economic sanctions at every turn, and it has tried and failed. Jia Wan's sense of politics is far less acute than that of business, perhaps because Jia Wan has no intention of showing his talents in politics, and just wants to devote himself to business.
In the days that followed, Cao Shuang rarely saw Jia Wan, and even Jia Wan's concubine rarely saw him. Jia Wan ran to buy real estate between different places, and recruited a large number of displaced people to make paper. Jia Wan stopped all the start-up businesses and invested all his money in papermaking.
In the secret room of the bad mansion, Cao Shuang and Jia Xu are plotting something.
The flames in the oil lamp flickered and flickered, reflecting on Jia Xu's wrinkled face, which looked very weird. Cao Shuang sat in the dark and said, "Sir, do you think the 'Clear the Cage' plan can be implemented?" ”
"Of course you can, didn't you get a letter in Qingqi Mountain about someone in the city fornicating with bandits, you can use this." Jia Xu's hoarse voice, coupled with the gloomy environment in the secret room, even Cao Shuang felt goosebumps. Jia Xu paused, "Then he said, the 'Clear the Cage' plan can only distinguish between non-Cao and pro-Cao, and there is not enough deterrence. Illicit thieves, and there are many young ladies of the family who have been taken captive, of course, the bad government can investigate the matter thoroughly, and kill a few when the time comes, so as to set an example. ”
"A poisoner is a poisoner, and killing people is like chopping melons and vegetables." Cao Shuang admired Jia Xu very much in his heart, but he made a joke about Jia Xu again.
Jia Xu has endured it all his life, and the older he gets, the more patient he should be, but since he met Cao Shuang, this qi cultivation kung fu is not as good as day by day, and he immediately replied, "The old man is just talking on paper, and this person is not allowed to be killed by your Cao Gongzi in the end." Childe, tell me, which is more poisonous, mouth or hands. ”
Cao Shuang snorted, and helped Jia Xu out of the secret room, and the "cage clearing" plan plus a side plan also began to be implemented.
