Chapter 20: Let People Be Shrewd in Taking Money (Part 1)
The more Li Xun listened, the more he felt that it made sense, in this way, many children would be able to receive exercise, he thought according to his own living environment, he usually had to do some exercise, horseback riding, archery, etc., after all, Uncle Huang is more powerful in this regard, as a nephew, if you want to be appreciated, you have to follow the learning.
At this moment, an opportunity is in front of him, Li Xun will never refuse, after agreeing, the date is set, the first item is the grassland, the only thing that is a little different is that Li Xun did not set a time of five days, and children from eight to twelve years old should be ten days.
At the same time, I don't know what he thinks, so he even asked children from five to eight years old to participate in the same way, the time is set for three days, and there will naturally be someone to take care of them at night, and the older ones can do it all by themselves.
Father Zhang knew the identity of this child, so he naturally wouldn't stop it, and with such a person, he sent out to protect it, and I believe that there will be no problems with the child.
The place of the grassland has also been chosen, on the Luochuan County on the other side of the Luoshui River, there is a pasture, on which thousands of horses are raised, the number is not much, the pasture is not too big, the south is the direction of the horse can be ridden in less than half a day to pass, the east and west direction is also a matter of one day.
After discussing the matter, Li Xun left and returned to his Zhuangzi with a medal, and the other children also followed the adults home, and the lively day was over.
When it was almost evening, those people who often came to the restaurant saw the children's game and had a new idea, and proposed to hold such a competition, especially the intellectual quiz, they thought it was very interesting, at first it sounded a little messy, and then they knew the answer, think about it, there is really some truth in it.
As a result, it was directly requested that the entire restaurant be contracted above the second floor, and the roof was also counted.
This matter is just a simple entertainment in the eyes of others, but Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who got the news, have different ideas, today the two of them have done some publicity for some small places around, and they have harvested something worth one or two or three dollars of silver, which is a good start.
Knowing that there are more adults who will do the same, the two of them got together and discussed, wanting to get greater benefits from it.
"Xiaobao, come and see, this is the drawing I designed, the location of the advertisement, on the road outside, there will be a row, on which the name of the merchant who is willing to spend money is written, a position is fifty wen a day, is it expensive?"
Wang Juan pushed a piece of paper with a pattern in front of Zhang Xiaobao and asked.
Zhang Xiaobao's painting level is not worse than Wang Juan's, and he said that he is stronger than Wang Juan, and when it comes to specific things, it can't be compared, he looked at the banner designed by Wang Juan, and shook his head.
"Your flag is painted well, and it can be displayed in the wind, but in this way, our cost will increase a lot, and the flag made of cloth will make less money, and the most important thing is that when there is wind, it will be displayed, and when there is no wind, others will not be able to see the patterns and words on it.
This has to be changed, not to do it with cloth, with paper, without the cost of dye, and it can be held there all the time, with a small stick to weave out the frame of the flag, just paste the paper, if the wind is strong, make a few holes in the paper, it will not blow the paper to break, it doesn't matter if it is blown bad, make another one.
This is the second time, the scale is larger than the last time, the price can't be too high, thirty wen a day, fifty wen is a bit much, that's not a small amount, I really don't want to make those businessmen's money, it's not easy for everyone. ”
Zhang Xiaobao didn't say the last sentence, Wang Juan really believed it, but as soon as he said the words that he couldn't bear to make money, Wang Juan began to pout, and the fraudsters didn't have a good thing, just like a crocodile shed tears, who believed that it was a pity for the animals that were eaten by it?
Sure enough, without waiting for Wang Juan to say anything, Zhang Xiaobao compared the painting there, and from time to time picked up a pen to draw twice on the paper, waiting for him to finish the painting, Wang Juan leaned over to take a look, and felt that this thing was a bit of a waste of materials.
"Why do you have two flagpoles for one flag? Isn't that expensive? The two-meter-high flag, if you find a bamboo pole, can only be higher, and if you put one more, it will cost you more. ”
Wang Juan saw Zhang Xiaobao sitting there looking at the painting, and asked next to him.
"That's not what it means, of course you are two meters tall with one is enough, I am five meters high, the frame is not the same, you can put cloth on it, it should be big, big, the bigger the better, it is best to be three meters by three meters, or three meters by two meters of flag, put it in front of the road where Gejia Zhuangzi came, so that all people can see it at first sight.
First get a small flag for others to see, just along the road, all the way over, thirty wen, if it really doesn't work, twenty wen can also be, and when they buy this position, let's get the big flag, then let them compete for this position, no more, as long as you put one every other section along the way, the whole ten sides.
The cost is large, the cloth is used, the starting price is 200 wen a day, 300 wen for two days, 350 wen for three days, and then half a month, 1,500 wen, 2,500 wen a month, what do you think? ”
Zhang Xiaobao said his thoughts and waited for Wang Juan to praise him.
Wang Juan looked at Zhang Xiaobao and was stunned for a while, "I think you are dreaming, those people are not stupid, you make a brain teaser for a day, and people buy a place for a month?" What's more, you didn't say that there was a big flag at the beginning, and when people finished buying the small ones, you made a big one out, and what about the next time? Can you still come here? ”
"You don't understand this, that small flag can be said to be discounted at that time, such as extending the time, such as how much cheaper it will be next time, right?" Zhang Xiaobao is very familiar with this kind of thing, and he doesn't need any skills at all, as long as everyone who has been in contact with him knows.
"Did anyone buy it in that month's time? The longer we live, the more we can earn, if I am a merchant, I will not buy a position at this price, and I will make a flag in the front of the place, what can you do? Bigger than you. ”
Wang Juan continued to find faults, to be precise, to let Zhang Xiaobao say everything in her heart, she didn't believe that Zhang Xiaobao would not consider this matter.
Zhang Xiaobao glanced at Wang Juan and said: "Okay, okay, tell you, don't let me stay at all mysterious, mainly because I'm afraid that you think my trick is too lacking in morality, that game, you can directly compete in one day, of course, you can drag on for ten days and half a month, you can have a preliminary round, a semi-final, a round-robin, and finally a final."
Each game has to be carried out separately, not all of them are done at the same time, so that a few games can not be compared in a day, you can rush to answer, you can answer, you must answer, you always have to introduce the participants, right? If people have any good poems, they can't miss the opportunity to show their faces. ”
"Understood, a toss for half an hour, plus gags or something, at the end of the day, it's just a few games, the more people, the more fields you compare, you don't want to insert some more ads at a critical time, right?"
Wang Juan finally remembered those entertainment shows, usually she has few opportunities to watch, she is busy with work, occasionally glances, and she doesn't watch it if she thinks it's boring, at this time, after Zhang Xiaobao said, recalling those things, she understands Zhang Xiaobao's thoughts.
"No, no, no, you must not insert advertisements, you insert advertisements, what about people who compete? Again, there is no tool for recording. ”
Zhang Xiaobao refused to insert advertisements in the middle of the time, and continued: "There are also prizes, you might as well say that the prize is the four treasures of the study, such a good opportunity, let it be given to those places that sell paper and pen and ink, let's allow them to give us money and use their things as prizes."
Also, guy's clothes can also be pasted on it when the time comes, such as the name of a certain store, it's better to keep it for ourselves, the restaurant over there in Xiaoluoshui also needs advertising, am I too kind? ”
"You're so shameless, if it were me, I wouldn't provide you with those things, what can you do?" Wang Juan once again followed some of the ideas of people in this era to find loopholes for Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao put down the pen, put his two little hands behind his head, leaned back in the chair, and looked at Wang Juan with slanted eyes, "This is the method I want to talk about lacking morality." ”
"How?" Wang Juan straightened Zhang Xiaobao's head and faced her.
"For example, you can't have only one place to sell stationery, right? Especially on the bustling street in Sanshui County, I haven't inquired, and I think it's okay to have three or five families, so we will send someone to buy it, and we want to buy a lot of pen, ink and paper, and the inkstone will not be so much, otherwise it will be wasted.
When you ask people to buy, go to one house to pick, pick and choose, and the people accompanying you can say that the other one should be better than this one, so it is better to go to that one to see, and these people will go to the other one, so back and forth, just don't buy.
Arrange a few more groups of people, so that those few are angry, and then find someone to buy, this time it is really buying, the kind that pays a fixed price, find the shopkeeper of several of them, ask them whose goods are good, whose price is cheap, and then choose the worst one, evaluate it well, and be sure to say that the good things of other houses are not good, and the bad things are good. ”
When Zhang Xiaobao said this, he paused for a moment, and Wang Juan immediately asked: "That's just to provoke hatred between them, or to let the family know that the person who bought the goods is a fool, can you pull them here?" ”
"Don't worry, listen to me, order a little bit of goods this time, leave after the order, immediately send some people over, continue to discuss with them about buying things, and want to buy them and send them to Xiao Luoshui for the talented people to write, you must let these shopkeepers understand."
Zhang Xiaobao took a sip of water and explained another sentence to Wang Juan.
