Jiang Long continued: "Third, the price of books should be positioned reasonably, and we should not covet temporary profits and raise the price of books because they sell well, but because we want to prevent piracy profiteers from making profits, we can set the price lower.

The reasonable price can also leave a good impression in the hearts of readers, make a reputation for credibility, and make readers insist on buying genuine books from us, so as to become loyal customers of the printing house. ”

Then, Jiang Long talked about some precautions and the future development direction of the printing house.

What Jiang Long said is already mixed with modern business philosophy, for example, some well-known manufacturers who have opened up their brands in the previous life will continue to promote their corporate culture, and then establish a good reputation, so as to cultivate a large number of loyal customer fans.

There are many successful companies, producing products ranging from skin care and beauty cosmetics to leather bags, mobile phones, computers, clothes, leather shoes, and automobiles.

Chai Shirong nodded again and again when he heard this, and when Jiang Long finished speaking, he was already admiring.

What Jiang Long said is not completely copied from the previous life, because the background of the era is different, there were legal restrictions in the previous life, and the emphasis is on the equality of everyone, but here, the royal family is supreme, and the officials and nobles can also be superior to others.

Reasonable can be used, and what is unreasonable cannot be used because of its advanced concept.

Otherwise, you will definitely touch the nail.

"Brother Xian is really talented!"

When Chai Shirong praised Jiang Long before, there was more or less a hint of ridicule, but now he was in a sincere mood.

Jiang Long looked modest, "It's just some ideas, it's nothing, Brother Chai, I handed over the manuscript to you, and then you will arrange the printing, and besides, there are more people in your mansion, so we must send it out as soon as possible to establish a huge sales network, so we can make more money." ”

"Hmm."

"Also, the Chengguo Mansion has different prestige in different places, I hope Brother Chai can haode statistics."

"What do you do with this?" Chai Shirong asked curiously.

"But wherever your government has a lot of influence, we can build our own branches, and we can find people to cooperate in other places."

Chai Shirong instinctively wanted to refute, did Jiang Long say the opposite?

However, in a flash of inspiration, I realized that what Jiang Long said was correct.

Where their own family can influence, even if the officials there see that the printing house is making a lot of money, they do not dare to stretch out their hands, and they are greedy.

But in other places where their own prestige is low, local officials there may not have the opportunity to be promoted to the capital to become officials in their lifetimes, but they are not very afraid of becoming a national government.

Moreover, the local shili is often intertwined, even if the Chengguo Mansion is a real strong dragon, it is difficult to suppress the head snake, and then it is inevitable to find a way to squeeze some oil and water from the printing house.

In this case, it is better to cooperate directly with it and give up part of the benefits generously.

Chai Shirong realized at this time that Jiang Long was not only smart, but also quite knowledgeable about human affairs.

asked Chai Shirong to go out to arrange printing and other matters, while Jiang Long asked for pen and paper and began to write the contract seriously.

In order to allow Chai Shirong to retain the management of the printing house after the book was sold, Jiang Long made some moves on some terms.

For example, it is pointed out in it that he only cooperates with Chai Shirong when he has the management of the printing house.

Even in order to prevent some Chai family members from having bad intentions when they see wealth and protect Chai Shirong's safety, they also deliberately stated that if Chai Shirong had an accident, Jianglong had the right to unilaterally terminate the contract.

Although Jingfu is not as prestigious as Chengguo Mansion now, it is not afraid, if the contract is terminated unilaterally, Chai Mansion will not dare to take Jingfu.

The proportion of sharing is divided equally between the two families.

However, as long as the business of the printing house is good enough and meets certain conditions, Chai Shirong can take a tenth of the profits obtained by the Guogong Mansion.

This is biased to fight for Chai Shirong's interests.

As for the number of years on the contract, Jiang Long signed it for ten years.

When Chai Shirong came back, Jiang Long had already written it and handed the contract to Chai Shirong.

Chai Shirong looked at it very carefully, and realized Jiang Long's concern for him from some specially marked terms.

couldn't help patting his chest, and said to Jiang Long excitedly: "One world, two brothers!" I won't say anything superfluous for my brother, and I will be useful for my brother in the future, just open my mouth! At that time, if you dare to frown slightly, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky! ”

In ancient times, promises, beliefs, and oaths were reluctant, and the five thunders and thunders in the sky were the heaviest among them.

Weishenme said that this sentence is the heaviest?

Because the five of them represent the five elements, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the five thunders are the golden thunder, the wood thunder, the water mine, the fire thunder, and the earth thunder, and the thunder here not only refers to the lightning in the sky, but also refers to all kinds of disasters.

For example, Jin Lei refers to encountering swords, iron weapons, car accidents, etc.

Wooden thunder refers to wooden sticks that fall from a height, are crushed by trees, etc.

Mines refer to drowning, flooding, sudden accidents while walking, illness, etc.

Fire and thunder refers to fire, electric shock, earth mine refers to burial, collapse of houses, falling objects from high places, etc., in a word, that is, if you do not fulfill your oath, it is certain death.

There's nowhere to hide.

Jiang Long stepped forward and raised his hand to smack Chai Shirong's chest, "We are brothers, what kind of bullshit oath to make?" ”

“haha！” Chai Shirong daxiao.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the two parties draw a pledge on the contract, it is considered to be effective.

But in order to be safe, Jiang Long and Chai Shirong still took the steward of the printing house, and the three of them came to the government together and left a foundation in the yamen.

It's better to be rigorous in doing things, because in this way, even if someone in Chai Mansion deliberately picks on thorns in the future, they won't be able to find the slightest loophole.

The manager of the printing house is over 50 years old, and he has been managing the business of the Lin family for decades, and he has also signed and drawn a pledge on the side, which can prove that Chai Shirong is indeed in charge of the management of the printing house at this time.

The steward, surnamed Zhu, walked out of the yamen, quietly pulled Chai Shirong's sleeve, and walked aside.

Chai Shirong was stunned for a moment, then asked Jiang Long to wait for a while and walked over.

"Steward Zhu, is there something wrong?" Because Steward Zhu is an old man in the Guogong Mansion, with rich qualifications and high status, Chai Shirong looks quite polite in front of him.

Now Chai Shirong's grandfather is still alive, there is no separation, Chai Shirong, as the master, is naturally higher than the status of the housekeeper, but when Chengguo Gong dies a few years later, even if the Chai Mansion is still not separated, but the status of a master like Chai Shirong will not be as good as the housekeeper.

At that time, the subordinates who can still be in charge must be very trusted by the new Guogong, and they are the henchmen of the new Guogong and the duchess of the Guogong, and Chai Shirong's status will plummet, if he is not appreciated and vigorously promoted by the new Guogong, he will not even have a chance to come out.

If he offends anyone, he can casually use the power in his hands to put on small shoes for him, such as stuck, dragging it and not issuing it, what things and objects does he need, deliberately saying that the money in the house is not abundant, and he will buy it later.

The interior of any wealthy mansion is extremely complicated.

However, if Chai Shirong can establish his prestige early and accumulate furniture, he will have the strength and strong financial resources to set up another door, it will be different.

Steward Zhu looked respectful, bent down slightly, bowed his head and said: "The other two sons of the house, and some of the stewards have eyeliner in the printing house, these people are all literate and have read books, otherwise they can't do the work of the printing house, after reading the manuscript written by Jing Gongzi, they should have all sent the news back to the mansion by now." ”

"Don't be afraid." Chai Shirong is now very relieved and confident.

Steward Zhu chuckled, "Third Young Master, although the contract written by Jing Gongzi is very rigorous, but now the script has not been published after all, and I haven't seen the huge benefits contained in it. ”

After the book was published, seeing the huge benefits, several masters in the Chengguo Mansion naturally did not dare to treat it carelessly.

Because at that time, if Jiang Long, who has a very good relationship with Chai Shirong and is called a brother, is unhappy, he will cut off this big financial route.

At that time, several masters in the mansion, as well as Cheng Guogong, will vigorously defend Chai Shirong if they are not sure that Jiang Long will continue to cooperate with Chai Mansion.

But now...... I have to say that Manager Zhu is thoughtful and reasonable.

"What does it mean to be in charge of Zhu?"

"The third young master had better go back to the house immediately and go to see Grandpa Guo."

Chai Shirong thought for a moment and nodded heavily.

Steward Zhu hesitated, but still whispered: "When people are old, they will inevitably be lonely, if there is a story, it would be ...... to relieve boredom."

Speaking of which, Chai Shirong already understood what he meant.

Don't report things in a hurry, this kind of thing that the children of the house are fighting with each other, playing conspiracy, and fighting for power and profit, which is very unhappy for Cheng Guogong, even if some of these grandsons he is more biased, and some of them are more estranged, but after all, they are all his juniors, so no matter who is reasonable and who is not, it will make Cheng Guogong very angry.

It is completely possible to tell the story to Cheng Guogong in the name of letting Cheng Guogong know the excitement of the story first, predicting that the printing house can make a lot of money, and then point out the matter secretly.

At that time, for the sake of the interests of the house, Chengguo will most likely be on his side.

And as long as Cheng Guogong speaks, then no one can take away Chai Shirong's management of the printing house.

"Thank you Steward Zhu for your suggestion." Chai Shirong sincerely thanked him.

Steward Zhu didn't dare to say again, "The little one just doesn't want the printing house to be messed up by other young masters at that time." ”

Moreover, the printing house made a lot of money, and he could be regarded as having made meritorious contributions and accumulated capital.

Chai Shirong talked with Steward Zhu for a few more words, and then hurriedly walked to Jiang Long's side, "Brother Wei has to go back to the mansion immediately, so I can't accompany Brother Xian." ”

"Something happened to the printing shop?" Jiang Long couldn't help frowning.

"The brothers who are brothers have already learned the story in the script in advance, and it is inevitable that they will come to seize power."

Chai Shirong sighed and said: "It's better to be a virtuous brother, you are the only one in the family, but don't worry, I will deal with haode." ”

"Go back to your grandfather?"

Chai Shirong was surprised, "How do you know?" ”

"You can also talk about your ideals and let Cheng Guogong know." Jiang Long squeezed his eyes.

There are many descendants of Chengguo, and when it comes to the most preferred, it is naturally the eldest son.

The firstborn son will inherit the family business.

But what about the rest of the children and grandchildren when they grow up?

Where is the way out?

Or do you live your life in a mess?

Speaking of his ideals to Cheng Guogong knows, it shows that Chai Shirong is ambitious, not an incompetent gentleman, and it can make Cheng Guogong faintly feel guilty, because even he has to protect the interests of the eldest son, and he can't use relationships and manpower to pave a way out for Chai Shirong.

People's hearts are long, and so is Cheng Guogong, and then Cheng Guogong should let Chai Shirong Haode run the printing factory.

"Besides, don't forget to let Cheng Guogong say a more dignified word, and don't allow your brothers to secretly print their own scripts to make money."
