Chapter 673: [Selling Books]

……

A smile appeared on Xiao Chen's face!

"I remember that there are the most coal mines in Shanxi, and when the coal mines here are all dug up, I will dig them over there!" Li Chengqian touched his hand and said.

Shanxi? Xiao Chen was puzzled, she hadn't heard of this place.

"Your Highness, where is Shandong?"

Only then did Li Chengqian know that Shanxi in the Tang Dynasty was not called Shanxi!

"Oh, in that place on the East River Road. I remembered the words in the Book of Mountains and Seas, so it became Shanxi! Li Chengqian explained.

Xiao Chen was not suspicious, she wrote it down on the paper again, and muttered in her mouth: "When the time comes, let people go to Hedong Road to look for mines!" ”

"What about cement?" Li Chengqian thought of his other industry.

Cement is used to pave roads, buildings. If you want to make cement make a lot of money, you need to build a lot of roads and let people learn to build cement houses. In that case, there will be a large number of business orders, and the money will naturally be earned. According to Xiao Chen's core business theory, let more people produce cement and sell it to others, so that the production method of cement is not to be learned by others, and then they will not be able to make money.

After thinking about it, it seems that there is a patent for this thing, which can protect yourself and tell the next family about the cement production method, and let the next family continue to pay for yourself!

However, patents were not very suitable for use in the Tang Dynasty. The legal binding force of the Tang Dynasty was not as strong as that of modern times, and even if Li Chengqian came up with the patent law according to the tiger painting cat and he published the method for making cement, there would be countless workshops in the world to produce cement without paying half a cent to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian as the crown prince. It is possible to use power to let the officials shut down those workshops that do not pay royalties.

But patent law came out. You can't just serve Li Chengqian, right?

So if the patent law is applied to other people, doesn't it mean nothing? They don't have the power and status of Li Chengqian, the crown prince.

And cottages. Counterfeit these things, even in later modern times, are all over the world. In the Tang Dynasty, it was no exception, some time ago, there was a wine master in the wine workshop of Shuai Guo, and after learning the process of distilling liquor, he went outside to open a wine workshop. Shuai Guo is the prince, and even the prince's wine in Chang'an dares to be fake, so after running out of Chang'an. Why didn't Li Chengqian's cement dare to be counterfeit?

Moreover, Datang has inconvenient transportation, unlike modern times, where there is piracy, you can take a plane to contact the local police and arrest the pirated copy. And the Tang Dynasty, even if it is found that there is piracy in a place in the south, it will take half a month or even two or three months to run from Chang'an to the south, where is there so much manpower, material resources and time to get these, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away. When you get there, there may not be any officials who will pay attention to it!

After many considerations, the patent or something is still useless, and the cement is still produced by itself and sold by itself. Finally, if the market demand is large, find a few partners to produce together.

sat with Xiao Chen and discussed for a while. The sun is rising higher and higher, and the heat is rising. Li Chengqian couldn't stay by the pool, so he wanted to go back to the attic.

Xiao Chen stood even slower than Li Chengqian. And a little twisted.

"Your Highness, I'll help you!" Although Xiao Chen stood up awkwardly, he said this to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian looked at her and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Xiao Chen's face turned red, and then he didn't hide it, and said, "The pants are wet again!" ”

glanced at Li Chengqian with a charming look, and then went over to help Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, after the concubine helps you in, you have to go to the Chongren Palace to take a look, the account book can't let them do bad!" ”

"Okay." Li Chengqian responded.

After Xiao Chen went to Chongren Palace, Li Chengqian stayed fine, so he played Go with himself in the room, and halfway through, he couldn't play.

Only then did he realize that he was not the kind of person who would fight wits and courage with himself, and if he came up with a move, he would be immediately blocked by his next idea, and he really understood it in his heart.

He threw down the game of Go, saw Su Mi come in, saw Li Chengqian playing chess alone, and asked in surprise, "Where is Youhe?" ”

"She's gone to Chongren Temple." Li Chengqian responded.

Su Mi said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you let her accompany Your Highness, even if you want to go, you have to wait for the concubine to come back!" ”

"Okay, okay, Xiao Chen is what I asked her to go, I just have an injury on my hand, and it's not a big deal, what's the tension? What are you holding in your hands? Li Chengqian beckoned to her and said.

Su Mi was holding several books in her hands, which were very brand new, and when she came in just now, her face was full of smiles, and she seemed to love this book.

At this time, she was already angry, but when she heard Li Chengqian's words, a smile appeared on her face again, she raised the book, walked in front of Li Chengqian, and handed the book to Li Chengqian.

The book reads: "Dream of Red Mansions",

On the cover, it is no longer the kind of green book cover that you usually see, but a lady is drawn, which is much fresher than the books I saw before!

"Samples are out?" Li Chengqian took it and asked.

"Well, this is what I got from Confucius, there was already a sample two days ago, and it was the concubine who made them change it, and now they have a new sample!" Su Mi's face turned red when she said about the changes.

Li Chengqian didn't pay much attention, he turned the page, and the first page read: Li Chengqian, by Su Mi.

"Didn't you say write your name, why did you add me in and add it in front of you!" Li Chengqian was a little curious, "This is what you regretted later and asked Confucius to change?" This Confucius is also really, this promises you! ”

"It's not!" Su Mi shook her head.

This made Li Chengqian even more curious, and asked, "Then what did you change?" ”

Su Mi said: "Last time, we talked to Confucius together about the publication, and you asked Confucius to write only about the concubine, and the concubine felt that it was inappropriate, so he found the master later, but he didn't dare to go against His Highness's wishes, so he didn't dare to delete the name of the concubine and rank it behind His Highness!" ”

Glaring at Su Mi, Li Chengqian looked at the book and asked, "I don't see where it has changed, what have you changed?" ”

"Here!" Su Mi stretched out her hand and pointed, "The concubine has changed her name to a smaller one." ”

When she said this, she found out that Li Chengqian's name was half a size bigger than Su Mi's two words, which made Li Chengqian's three words very conspicuous.

"You, think so much!" Li Chengqian took her hand and said.

Su Mi's face was red, and she muttered, "The concubine body prefers it!" ”

"Huh?" Li Chengqian didn't understand.

Xiao Xiami grinned beside him and said, "Your Highness, the crown princess also said just now, and your name is lined up, isn't it just for others to see it, is it the love between you and the crown princess?" ”

Looking at this, the husband and wife have to complete a book together, what a loving thing it must be!

And when outsiders saw this book, it was very feminine, and they thought that this book was written by the crown princess, so when they saw that Li Chengqian's name was also written on it, it was even bigger than Su Mi's, so they would think that Su Mi respected her husband and took her husband as the most virtuous performance, so Su Mi was even more praised!

Li Chengqian smiled and agreed with Su Mi's approach: "Okay! ”

He had three copies in a row, which were the first half of the Dream of Red Mansions, and Li Chengqian asked, "Do you want to give the three copies to the bookseller to sell together?" ”

"Well, I originally wanted the front and back parts to come out and sell together, but for the time being, I can only come out of this front part, and if the back comes out together, it will become very slow!" Su Mi sat next to Li Chengqian.

"Don't, just one copy!" Li Chengqian came up with an idea.

Su Mi's eyes widened and she looked at him puzzled.

"Listen to me!" Li Chengqian smiled, "After the first book goes out, after the reader's appetite is satisfied, the second book can be a hot seller, and the third book can become a god!" ”

Su Mi didn't understand, Li Chengqian told her in detail: "The story of Dream of Red Mansions is very exciting, needless to say, so after being read the first book, will you want to read the second book immediately." If you go out of all three books, and others read three books slowly, the second half of your book will come out, and you are not in a hurry at all, and there is no effect at all. ”

Hearing these words, Su Mi didn't understand, Li Chengqian continued to her: "If you only publish one book, then it may be within three or five days, and the longest is half a month to read it, but there is no second book to read, is it in a hurry, is it to keep paying attention to the dynamics of the bookseller, will you inquire about the author's situation, I am too worried in my heart, when I meet a friend, will I talk about this book, so I will promote this book in a radial way, so his friends also come to see this book, and wait to see the second book, there are more and more people, when the time comes, When the second book is about to come out, let the bookseller advertise that the second book will be published one day, so at that time, there will be a large number of readers rushing to buy the second book, and the popularity of the book is that the book is popular, how good is this! ”

After hearing this, Su Mi understood a little and nodded.

"What His Highness said, is it the same as the way to sell flower water!" Xiao Chen's voice rang out from outside.

The two looked over, Xiao Chen walked in slowly, first saluted Li Chengqian, and then said hello to Su Mi, she also apologized first, expressing that it was wrong for her to leave without permission.

Su Mi said that Li Chengqian asked her to go, and she was not to blame.

Only then did he ask, "What is the way to sell toilet water?" ”

Xiao Chen looked at Li Chengqian admiringly, and said: "The flower water shop has a very clever way of selling, every time there is a new perfume, it will hang a billboard at the door of the store, after a while, a few bottles are put in the store, saying that it is a trial, in addition to giving it to regular customers, the others are sold very expensive, and they are filled in after they are sold, but after half a month or a month, they will be listed at the door to remind which days will be sold, and after a few days the new perfume will be put out for sale, at this time there are already many people looking forward to the new perfume, On that day, the store will be full of people, and the sales of new perfumes will be amazing! ”

She pointed to the book in Li Chengqian's hand: "The sales method that His Highness just said is the same as flower water!" ”
