447 The Way of Trade
"The princess doesn't seem to be happy with the profits?" Liu Yuan asked with a smile.
Li Lizhi nodded and said: "Yes, Liu Yuan, you started to talk about the sky, the palace thought that the profit was so big, but I didn't expect that the profit would be so low, and even the Jinghua study could not be compared, I have many sisters, I won't tell you, the imperial sister Qinghe, and also pointed out that she took more money here, which is estimated to disappoint her." ”
"Then the princess thinks that it is a successful business to make about a lot of silver every year?"
"At least three or five thousand taels of silver" Li Lizhi finished speaking, looked at the newspaper and said: "You see, this issue from the collection of manuscripts to the publication, before and after it took several days, at this rate, it is estimated that only three or four issues can be published a month, and the profit of one issue is only one or twenty taels, fifty or sixty taels a month, only a few hundred taels a year, so many people divide it, and there are not a few taels in a year, Liu Yuan, Chang'an is a golden inch of gold, and the prosperity is far better than other state capitals, ten Wen is too little, it is better to rise to twenty or even fifty Wen, so you can also earn more." ”
Three or five thousand taels?
If Liu Yuan takes half of it, a few princesses will only be a few hundred taels a year, and a few hundred taels can satisfy a princess? Dizzy, no matter how hard Li Er is to be thrifty, he can't abuse the princess like this, doesn't he say that he wants to raise a man and a noble daughter?
Pick.
"Princess, ten cents is actually a lot, no matter how high, the newspaper sales are also a problem, doing this, has not opened the situation, it is self-defeating, of course, it is not that the price does not rise, it mainly depends on the reaction of the market, it is estimated that you do not know much about this aspect, Liu will explain it to you." Liu Yuan said sincerely.
In order to make more money, she wanted to raise a newspaper that had just come out to fifty yuan, and this princess really dared to think about it
"Oh, Liu Yuan, this palace knows that you have done a good job. I heard that a piece of jewelry can collect thousands of taels, why are you interested in staring at this mosquito leg? Well, you say, I'd like to hear what you want to explain. ”
"The world is bustling, all for profit; The world's soil, all for profit, for businessmen, can be said to be interconnected, can also be said to be opportunistic, shopping malls like a battlefield. It is best to have no people, I have fine, and I am wonderful, so that we can win by surprise and get the first opportunity. Based on Liu's experience, business can be divided into two categories. One is buying and selling. One is management. ”
"Doing business, that is, entering at a low price and exiting at a high price, you can make as much as you want, but the business is different, and you have a long-term vision. Regardless of the gains and losses of one day and one night, one stitch and one rimm, the trader sees the profit quickly, just like blowing chaff and seeing rice. Operator, the income is slow, the victory is in the water into a torrent, the princess don't stare at the amount of sales, in fact, the little money from selling newspapers is not silver at all, the real business, I haven't seen it yet. ”
Li Li said strangely: "Liu Yuan, do you mean that the money earned from selling newspapers is only a small head, and there is a big head?" ”
"Princess, you also know Liu's details, do you think that it is only a project of one thousand or a hundred taels, will I be so enthusiastic?"
"Won't"
Liu Yuan said confidently: "Princess, don't worry, Liu can assure you that when the New Year dividends, the princess can take more than three thousand taels, if it is insufficient, Liu will make up for it." ”
That's what I'm waiting for.
Li Lizhi said happily: "With your words, this palace can rest assured, Liu Yuan, you can rest assured, how this newspaper is operated, we will not interfere, and it is up to you to operate it." ”
"Good!" Liu Yuan is not polite, to be honest, Liu Yuan's most annoying thing is that someone disrupts his steps.
"The owner, princess, you see, it's all done, you see if there are any problems, if it's okay, then we can open the print immediately." At this time, Lao Gu also engraved the emblem and annotation of Jinghua Study on the printing plate, and said to Liu Yuan and Li Li with an excited face.
Lao Gu is naturally happy, although his name is printed on the last page, and there is no special recommendation, but for him, this is a huge progress, Liu Yuan also said, as long as Master Gu has been working, then as long as it is published, his name will be engraved.
Liu Yuan took a closer look, well, yes, Lao Gu ensured his style and level, and the carving was very beautiful and in place.
"Yes, well done."
Li Lizhen couldn't help but praise: "Liu Yuan, you are lucky to have recruited a good guy." ”
"Hehe" Liu Yuan smiled proudly: "My luck has never been bad." ”
After speaking, Liu Yuan pointed to the printing board and said: "Old Master Gu, ask people to print a few samples, and the big guys will look at it and pick and choose, if there is no problem, then we can start work immediately, and our Chang'an newspaper will officially open." ”
"Okay, owner, let the little one do it immediately." The old master answered, and hurriedly urged someone to do it, and the ass ran upside down.
The princess is waiting, the owner is watching, who dares not to be dissatisfied, and who dares to be lazy?
Those subordinates are all transferred from Moyun, all of them are very skilled, and they are just a piece of kung fu, and a new version of the Chang'an newspaper sample has come out, Liu Yuan, Li Lizhen, Lao Gu master, and two house slaves who are literate and hyphenation began to carefully look for mistakes and omissions.
Getting the sample in his hand, Liu Yuan nodded secretly, although a newspaper is temporarily only three newspapers in four openings, but there is a lot of information, there is a lot of important information that happened in Chang'an, famous Confucian explanations, thousands of strange, poetry reading, story serialization, etc., even after two days, a number of curiosities were put on sale by Hu merchants in the West Market.
By the way, there are also advertisements about the Jinyu family and Jinghua Shuzhai.
A few people carefully looked for a few articles, and felt that there were no mistakes or omissions, so that the old ancient master corrected it together, and Li Lizhi on the side looked at the old ancient master and changed a few pieces of ink, and it was repaired all at once, like a child playing with mud and sand, and secretly envious in his heart, if he used a wood carving printing plate, not to mention a few, it was a mistake and omission, which was an uncorrectable and unforgivable mistake.
This Liu Yuan is really amazing.
"Boss, Lao Gu can assure you that there are no mistakes or omissions." Lao Gu said to Liu Yuan excitedly.
After so many days of hard work, it was finally completed, and the six printing plates, in the eyes of the old master, were as perfect and exquisite as works of art.
Liu Yuan smiled and said to Li Li: "Princess, you have contributed the most these days, and you have done it yourself, so you should announce it." ”
For a princess, Li Li's quality is very good. There is no fight, she is careful, talented, she is a very capable woman, and she has to write and handle it herself, so it is reasonable, Liu Yuan decided to hand over a glorious moment to Li Liqing.
"Old Master Gu."
"The villain is here"
Li Lizhi said with a smile: "Immediately open 3,000 copies, and complete it within two days within a time limit." ”
"The little one understands."
Liu Yuan nodded and said, "Since it is issued, then choose the pen fee for the Chinese chapter." It has to be distributed right away. ”
In the Guozi Jian Taixue Hall, after the end of class, most of the students had returned to their places, and a richly dressed student sat on a cushion and held a red envelope. He smirked as he watched, as if he were looking at a stunning woman.
Suddenly. A hand that suddenly stretched out was like a lightning bolt. snatched the red envelope at once, startled the student, turned his head to see that it was his fellow villager friend and close friend, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Zhou, don't make trouble." Give me back quickly. ”
"Brother Chen, I've been paying attention to you for a long time, and I've been giggling today, still smirking at this envelope. Could it be that the beautiful woman Hongyan sent a message? ”
Zhou Ang who spoke, the person he robbed, named Chen Suchuan, has no fame, no words, both of them are from Panzhou, and they entered the country together, but Zhou Ang's family is poor, and Chen Suchuan's family is in the horse business, and life is very rich, the two have known each other since childhood, but they can be regarded as small, Zhou Ang can come to Chang'an to study, and it also depends on the support of the Chen family, and Chen Suchuan is bold, talented, and quite chivalrous, but they are from the south, one is poor, and the other is a businessman's family, so they are often angry.
"It's better than Hongyan sending a message, Brother Zhou, you open it and take a look." Chen Suchuan said with a smile.
"This, this is just a penny, what's there to be happy about?" Zhou Ang opened it and saw that there was only a small piece of broken silver inside, and he checked it, that is, a penny of silver, the Chen family is a wealthy family in Panzhou, and the gold and silver at home are piled up, as for it?
Chen Suchuan said excitedly: "Hehe, for this money, I just rewarded the next person who sent me two taels of silver." ”
"Brother Chen, are you okay? Two taels for one penny? ”
"It's okay, okay, forget it, let me tell you, this is called the remuneration, it was sent by Chang'an Newspaper, Brother Zhou, the article I wrote was selected, and I was selected with me, and I was also a student of Taixue, this matter was just inquired by the next person, he was responsible for the remuneration sent, Ha Luha, those pretentious Guozi scholars, none of them were selected, I really slapped them, see if they are still arrogant?"
Zhou Anglen paused for a moment, touched Chen Suchuan's head and said: "Brother Chen, it's okay, although Dr. Jin said that he should attach importance to this call for papers, it is estimated that he was also entrusted by others, what is Chang'an Daily, you and I have never seen it, and I don't know where it is sacred, is it worth being so happy?" ”
"You don't know what to do," Chen Suchuan hugged Zhou Ang's shoulder and said: "You don't know what to do, I heard that it is like the form of Ye Bao, which is issued in thousands of copies at a time, and the influence must be very great, there is something you must not know, the eldest grandson of Zhao Guogong and the emperor, before the Chang'an newspaper came out, he had already asked for a copy in advance, you think about it, brother, my article, you can appear in front of the eldest grandson Sikong and the emperor, maybe they take a fancy to it, and it will fly in the sky all of a sudden." ”
"What? Both the emperor and Zhao Guogong want to see it? Wouldn't you, you even know that? Zhou Ang said in surprise.
"Money can make ghosts grind, do you think my two taels of silver are spent in vain? Let me tell you, not only do I know that the Emperor and the eldest grandson will watch it" Chen Suchuan lowered his voice and said: "This Chang'an newspaper also has the princess involved, do you say it's amazing?" Tsk, the princess is the princess, so elegant, the emperor and sage, with us scholars in his heart, he spared no expense to create a platform for us, you said, it is said that a newspaper only sells ten wen, deducting various expenses, it is simply a business that loses money and makes money. ”
Zhou Ang nodded, and said a little proudly: "Now that the country is peaceful and peaceful, since the civil officials are good at the beginning, the military generals will immediately take over the world, but to govern the prosperity, it is still up to our civil officials to come out, it seems that the emperor wants to reuse us." ”
"Ha Luha, what do you want to do so far? Brother Zhou, the Chang'an newspaper will be published tomorrow, you can accompany me to buy a few hundred copies and come back, let's give a copy to those guys in Guozixue, and ask them to read my masterpiece, disgusting and disgusting them, hahaha"
"Good!"
Liu Yuan, who was worried about the sales of newspapers, didn't know that there was a "big customer" in Lu Dao who had already ordered hundreds of newspapers.
"Liu Yuan, you said that these three thousand copies, how many copies can be sold tomorrow?" Li Lizhi looked at the three thousand copies of the first issue of Chang'an Bao piled up in the corner and still exuding the fragrance of ink, and suddenly suffered from gains and losses.
These are their own efforts, if no one appreciates them, isn't it a lot of effort, all in vain?
"Rest assured, these contents are carefully selected, taking care of all aspects, it can be said that they have achieved the appreciation of elegance and vulgarity, and they are only sold for ten cents, there are so many students and officials in Chang'an, and the population is hundreds of thousands, where are thousands of copies? Maybe I'll have to print it again. Liu Yuanxin was not very sure, but comforted Li Li and said.
After Liu Yuan said this, Li Lizhi's confidence also increased a lot, nodded and said: "Yes, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and there is a natural fragrance of musk, there must be no problem." ”
Liu Yuan said with a smile: "The alley is not deep, we cooperate with Wuhoupu, and they will sell it for us, just like selling lottery tickets, you just wait for the cashier." ”
"Well, that's good."
While the two were talking, Old Master Gu suddenly walked in, saluted Liu Yuan, and said, "Boss, there are two military masters looking for you outside the store." ”
"Who?"
"I don't know the little ones, but they all wear bright light armor and hold a lance in their hands, as long as they see you."
Is there such a thing? Liu Yuan walked out of the hall with a puzzled expression, and the blood knife on the side stood up suddenly, took two steps ahead, and followed Liu Yuan's side at once, as if he was afraid that someone would be unfavorable to Liu Yuan.
"Subordinates see General Yangwei" As soon as he saw Liu Yuan come out, the soldier who was still arrogant just now, put away his smile and respectfully gave a military salute.
Liu Yuan asked curiously, "Who are you?" What is the reason for looking for Liu? ”
"On the orders of General Yangwei, I will hand over this letter to General Liu, General, we still have official business, it is not appropriate to stay for a long time, and we will retire first."
Liu Yuan is a general of Yangwei, and Cheng Biting Jin is a general of Yangwei, who overwhelms Liu.
I took out the letter, opened it, and saw that there was only one line on it: Report back to the barracks tomorrow!
Liu Yuan's head was big all of a sudden, and when he returned to the barracks, nine times out of ten it was a matter of the new army, and he had been absent for many days, and all the preparations were done by King Cheng Mowang, but tomorrow was the first issue of Chang'an Daily, and he was not there, could Li Lizhi handle it? (To be continued......)
