Chapter 556: The Newspaper Comes Out (2)
"Hmph, you are not allowed to slander Uncle Li, Uncle Li did not drive us, we can make money selling newspapers!"
When the little boy heard that the eldest grandson Chong slandered Li Yi, he immediately became angry.
"Make money? Your newspaper sells for a penny, which is a loss-making business, and it still makes money? Who are you fooling? ”
The eldest grandson Chong said disdainfully.
"What I said is true, Uncle Li said that this newspaper was handed over to us to buy, and fifty percent of the money from the sale of the newspaper belongs to us, and I have sold a hundred newspapers in one morning, and I have earned fifty wen!"
The little boy's tone was very proud.
"Fifty wen?"
Wei Shuyu was shocked.
Don't think that these 50 wen are very few, you must know that this newspaper is a small profit but quick turnover, selling 50 wen in the morning, that day is 100 wen, the newspaper is a half-tenth newspaper, that is, every five days, in this way, a month is 600 wen, and the newspaper can not only be sold on the same day, but also at other times, but the number is smaller. Moreover, the newspaper has just come out now, and not many people buy it, and after a while, as long as the quality of the newspaper is fine, it is too normal for the sales to increase several times, so that each newsboy can make at least a consistent amount of money a month, and if the situation is good, it is not impossible to run three times or five times.
Three or five yuan of money, it doesn't sound like much, but it is relative to the children of a wealthy family like Wei Shuyu, for ordinary people, a family, a month's expenses are only so, and now the orphans in the orphanage can earn so much money every month, it is definitely an enviable thing, if it is said that Li Yi drives children, there are a large number of people who are willing to be driven by Li Yi.
The muscles of Changsun Chong's face trembled slightly, and his mouth was still unconvinced.
"Hmph, I lost money in the first place, and now I divide half of the profits, I really don't treat money as money!"
Wei Shuyu frowned slightly, and then waved his hand.
"Alright, let's not talk about this for now!" Wei Shuyu just came back and didn't understand the situation yet, so he didn't want to get involved in these things.
"Alright, little baby, bring me eight newspapers!"
When the little boy heard this, he showed a smile, and after selling eight at once, he could earn four dollars again.
The little hand took out the cloth bag in his arms, touched it for a long time, and suddenly his face changed.
"Oh no, there's only one point left, it's all sold!"
Then he quickly looked back at the other children.
"Do you still have a newspaper?"
"I'm gone!"
"I'm gone!"
"I still have a copy here!"
......
Several people searched for a long time before they turned out three newspapers, and the little boy turned the newspapers and said to Wei Shuyu with an apologetic face: "Uncle, I'm sorry, there are only three points left!" ”
Wei Shuyu was stunned.
"Only three points left? How many newspapers did each of you get out of the house? ”
"A hundred! Each of us is a hundred! ”
"A hundred servings per person? How many of you are there? ”
"Fifty-three!"
"Fifty-three? That is, more than 5,000 copies of the newspaper were sold in one morning? ”
Wei Shuyu was a little surprised in his heart, although he didn't know what effect this 5,000-cent newspaper could achieve, but he could imagine that it was not simple.
"Three is three!"
Wei Shuyu took out a handful of copper coins from his arms, and handed them directly to the newsboy.
"That's all, don't look for it!"
However, the newsboy confiscated it, but took out three pieces of copper coins, and returned the rest to Wei Shuyu.
"Uncle, the gentleman doesn't take the food he brings, thank you for your kindness!"
After saying that, he jumped away with a few younger siblings, and when he left, his face was still full of smiles.
Wei Shuyu took a handful of copper coins in his hand and was stunned for a long time before revealing a warm smile.
"Shuyu, it seems that the orphanage is definitely not a burden!"
Jiang Lichen squinted his eyes, his expression was very emotional.
Lu Zheng smiled at the corner of his mouth. "These children, it's not easy!"
Lu Zheng has been wandering the streets and alleys since he was a child, and he has made friends with all three religions and nine streams, and he has the most accurate vision for people.
And Wu Ning, a think-tank figure of the four major families, also sighed.
"It's worthy of the county magistrate, I thought I knew him well enough, but after I arrived in Chang'an, I found out that I knew that it was just the tip of the iceberg!"
"Haha, Wu Xiucai, you are absolutely right, Brother Yi'er is amazing, not what you can imagine!"
Lei Gang patted his belly, not hiding his admiration for Li Yi at all.
Eldest Sun Chong listened to them and Li Yi, and was quite unconvinced, and at the same time, he began to be dissatisfied with these "countrymen".
"Hmph, can't you leave?"
"What is urging? If you want to go, you can go, who will you show your face? ”
Zhang Xing is anxious, he has long seen that Changsun Chong is unhappy, and now seeing him find fault, he finally can't help it, he doesn't care who Changsun Chong is, for Zhang Xing, he is only responsible for causing trouble, as for wiping his buttocks, it is not his responsibility.
"How dare you contradict me? I ......"
The eldest grandson Chong pointed at Zhang Xing, trembling with anger.
Seeing this, Wei Zheng hurriedly grabbed Changsun Chong.
"Brother Chong, don't pay attention to them, they are rough people, give the little brother a face, don't be like them."
Changsun Chong stared at Zhang Xing angrily, extremely angry in his heart, but Wei Shuyu stopped him, and Changsun Chong didn't want to give him face.
Snorted coldly.
"Shuyu, let's get here first today, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, another day, I'm inviting you alone!"
After speaking, he glared at Zhang Xing, flicked his sleeves, and turned to leave.
Zhang Xing was not convinced, and just wanted to fight back, but was glared back by Wu Ning and Wei Shuyu at the same time.
When the eldest grandson rushed away, Wei Shuyu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately turned around, and gave Zhang Xing a cold face.
"Hmph, if you just come to Chang'an, you will make trouble, so you can't settle down?"
Zhang Xing is most afraid of two people in Jinling, one is Wu Ning and the other is Wei Shuyu. Wu Ning is his second brother, and often disciplines him, Zhang Xing is afraid of nature, and Wei Shuyu, that is purely conquered, when Wei Shuyu was the main book, Zhang Xing was very unconvinced at first, and later after being rectified by Wei Shuyu several times, he was cleaned up and obedient.
Seeing that Wei Shuyu's face was not good, Zhang Xing said with a stupid expression: "Say that let him look down on people." ”
"What do you care about him? Can't you get used to ignoring him? It's okay now, offend people in vain! ”
"Oh, what a big deal, I didn't say anything!"
Zhang Xing looked like hob meat, and Wei Shuyu was suddenly laughed at angrily!
"Forget it, anyway, when you go to Chang'an, you won't be under my control, let Brother Yi take care of you personally in the future!"
When Zhang Xing heard Li Yi, he was immediately stunned, and then honestly lowered his head, not daring to speak.
Wei Shuyu shook his head. looked at the newspaper in his hand and said, "Okay, the gold lord is angry with you, and we have nowhere to go, so let's go directly to Brother Yi'er!" ”
Everyone didn't object, cleaned up, and followed Wei Zheng straight to the Li Mansion.
