Chapter 175: Defeating the Imperial Capital
"Then a certain person has a mouthful, this tea is also fragrant, and the tea art of Far Eastern Hou can be said to be a must? I just talked about it on the road just now, some rangers often call what are the three unique swordsmen, the three unique knights or something, a certain said that the Far East Hou is far more than the three uniques, this is first of all literary brilliance, poetry is unique in the world, calligraphy is even better than ancient and modern, cooking is also a must, tea skills needless to say, which tea skills in Yan and Tang are not derived from the Far East Hou, and there is a strategy is also a unique step in the world, fighting a war is a hundred battles to win, and running a business is also a day to make money, which is also invincible in the official career? Zuo Xuande finished speaking in one breath and then concluded: "This is a little bit of a six-hundred-thousand
"Then I have to add a sentence, a certain blessing is also a must" Dugu Xinci also smiled haha.
"Yes, the blessings and luck of the Far Eastern Hou are all a must"
"Okay, okay, stop, you came in the rain, and you brought gifts and touted, so scared? Nothing to be courteous is what is it that is stealing? It's not an outsider, what do you have to say, someone who can help will definitely help"
"Hehe, I'm used to it, I'm still comfortable here in Far East, I eat and drink well, and I talk happily."
"Then you speak more quickly, but so-and-so will also talk in circles?"
"Oh, that's right, when I saw this spring rain, I was idle, and I came to visit, uh, just to inquire about the things of the car and boat."
"Hey, I said Lao Zuo, this spring rain is falling, you can have nothing to do with a pot of tea to get a newspaper, very leisurely, oh, by the way, it's good that you are here, have you read today's Kaiyuan miscellaneous newspaper?"
"I've seen it, I saw it in the carriage, and it is absolutely better than the smoke and willows all over the imperial capital, and the Far Eastern Marquis wrote this willow tree in Chang'an so beautifully, and it was all spiritual to read."
"So-and-so is Xinya's pen name, and you can guess that this verse is so-and-so?"
"A certain is a guess, and only the Far Eastern Hou can write such a domineering poem, and He Shilang's one is also excellent, but the pattern is a little small, and it doesn't read as good as this sentence that is full of momentum."
"Although I know that you are saying good things for the sake of acquaintances, but I am still very happy, have you read the commercial version? Do you have any thoughts? ”
"Uh, let's take a look at it again" Zuo Xuande was embarrassed, he did read the first two editions, one was a summary of current affairs, and the other was a poetry version.
"I didn't expect Lao Zuo to be middle-aged in literature and art? I care about poetry but forget my business? "Dugu Xinci asked for tea again.
"Are these numbers accurate?" Zuo Xuande looked at the newspaper and asked.
"It's almost inseparable," Dugu Xinci explained, "It's all the statistics of the past two days, the reference prices of the ten industries related to people's livelihood in the East and West Markets, grain, rice, oilseeds, silk and linen, vegetables and vegetables, pigs and mutton, pigs, cattle and horses, tea, paper, pen and ink, ironware, gold and silver, and the data given by the East and West Market Leveling Bureau."
"Great, this is so useful for a certain kind of businessman." Zuo Xuande made a good deal of the case, and the fox said suspiciously, "This abalone from Xinglou only sells one Baiwen?" There is also a limit of 10 per table? Is there such a good thing? Valid for three days.,I'm going to try this abalone tomorrow.,Uh,This trick is good? How about a certain silk village also board? ”
"Of course it's good, this kind of call is an advertisement, but it's not Bai Deng's? Fee-based"
"That's the way it should be, I'm afraid that the Star Picking Building is full of friends today, although the abalone is cheap but it can't fill the stomach, I'm afraid that these other dishes will make the difference in price, right? It shouldn't be a lot of money, "Zuo Xuande is worthy of his job as a profiteer."
"This advertisement is divided into two kinds, one is long-term cooperation, Kaiyuan Miscellaneous Newspaper has 80 issues a year, which can be monthly or annual, and can be priced and installmented"
"How about a monthly subscription? What is the price of the annual subscription? What is the pricing? What does staging mean? ”
"The monthly subscription is only to do a month's advertising, a period of at least 100 times, a certain issue can be at least 50,000 subscriptions, that year is 1,200 times, after the discount is a thousand thousand, this is the pricing, the installment is your first pre-regular number, for example, you don't want to advertise every issue, right? You can set a contract first, at least 30 periods a year, as for when to make a reservation a month in advance, how many are according to the market? ”
"According to the market?"
"That's right, for example, there are ten reservations for this issue, and a certain newspaper can only publish five, continue to bid, excluding annual merchants, maybe there are only two or three places left to bid"
"Far Eastern Hou's strategy is really a headache? If you don't pay for it, I'm afraid you'll have to pay more money? "Zuo Dahao is very resentful.
"That's natural, Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer? Why don't you do it? "Dugu Xinci doesn't care.
"That's good, a certain book is scheduled for a year, thirty issues and three thousand, isn't it? That's too expensive, isn't it? Can you earn back these 3,000 yuan? ”
"This is just an advertisement, a certain can not include you and so on to make a steady profit, you can have a look first, estimate, for example, you want to sell this Yuezhou silk silk, 50,000 newspapers at least 100,000 people will read the newspaper, even if 30% of the people see this advertisement, it is 30,000 people, 30,000 people have the idea of coming to your shop to see, the final line is afraid that there are only 300, maybe the final purchase is only 100, one person and one horse is also a thousand, this is the effect of advertising, you can not only have the same profit, Do you still have some money to make in this way? This advertisement can't just look at the current profits, he also has a long-term effect, you think, can you spend a lot of money on advertising that the strength of the store is doubtful? Even if people who saw the advertisement at the time did not immediately go to your store, but when they went to a silk shop at other times and saw the name of your store and were impressed, would they buy from a store that was not impressive or would they buy from a store that was impressive? ”
The reason is very simple, the four or five people present here are wealthy businessmen, all nodding their heads, and they have asked for annual advertising services.
"There's no need to talk to someone here, you are waiting to find Feng Pingping, but he has also been very busy recently? Do you have the right people to help? By the way, what is Xiao Zuo doing? Can I still participate in the scientific expedition this year? ”
"He has nothing to do all day long, and the Hou of Far East wants to help discipline one or two?"
"That's good, let him go to Kaiyuan Miscellaneous News, he is familiar with you and others, first help deal with advertising matters, you and others also discuss, don't squeeze together to advertise in the end, that needs to bid, this is really cannibalism?"
"Hehe, the Hou of the Far East is kind" Everyone praised, and they almost said how did you twist your elbow outward? Isn't bidding more profitable?
"Sharing and win-win is the last word," Dugu Xinci said calmly, and each person was given a cigar.
"The Kaiyuan miscellaneous newspaper has not yet been rolled out in Chang'an, but sooner or later it will be paved to Gyeonggi Road, and when the car and ship are on the right track, it will also be issued by the whole Yantang Dynasty.
The crowd almost burst into tears, and said yes, and then they would speak? How long has it been going around?
"Yes, I heard that this matter was discussed, and I saw if there was a chance to share and win-win?"
"Of course there is, uh, again? Who is it? Yo, rare guest? Real Tigers? Do you remember that you were a professor at China Normal University? Tell you? If you don't come back, will this year's salary be deducted? Dugu Xinci heard a noise in the lobby, turned his head and saw that Zhong Licuo had come with Zhang Wanfu Daoist.
"Some kind of hard work for your martyrs' shrine, you are leisurely at home to watch the spring rain? Are you embarrassed? Zhong Licao was even more dissatisfied.
"Sit first, sit first, drink tea and drink tea, does Zhang Daochang avoid meat? I know that this Zhongli Daoist is the Taoist of wine and meat, "Dugu Xinci asked Zhongsun to move a few more stools."
"Haha, so it's a long way to drink and meat," Zhang Wanfu also smiled.
"The wine and meat have passed through the intestines, the three Qing hearts are left, and Zhang Zhenren cultivates the way of the heart and the will" Dugu Xin served tea.
"You seem to have said that wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha has left it in his heart, so you can really speak?" Zhong Licao was dissatisfied.
"When you see people and talk about people, you talk about ghosts, and when you see you, don't you say that the Buddha is begging for a beating?" Dugu Xinci is still giggling.
"What the Marquis of Far East said is also the truth of things, and a certain one was entrusted by the old fairy Sima to come to thank the Marquis of Far East for the things that went to the mansion," Zhang Wanfu made a joke.
"Share and win-win" Dugu Xinci didn't bother to ask about the specific situation, anyway, in the past two days, Chang'an City was in the crazy Hanlin to worship Zhang Xuan's soul and told him that he was killed in vain, and his wife hooked up with another worshipping Zhang Xusi to commit adultery, and was first filled with arsenic by the adulterer and then created a suicide scene, and also forged a suicide note to frame the Marquis of Far East.
The private interests of men and women have always been a topic of interest to the public, and it involves the worship of the high Hanlin in the Qing Dynasty, and the nobility in the literary world is boiling over, and Chang'an City is afraid that nine times out of ten they know some of the key points.
These key points are that the adulterer ** conspired to murder his own husband, falsely accusing the unrivaled Far Eastern Hou, and the Daomen's soul conjuring technique really exists.
Many of the martyrs' families who went to the Martyrs' Shrine would ask for details, and the people of the Daomen would answer the same questions thousands of times a day, painfully and happily.
"This matter is completely the role of soy sauce in it, there is no need to mention it again, the two of you will wait a minute, and the banquet will be held when we talk about it" Dugu Xinci said with a smile.
"Delay the two Taoist chiefs, and they are talking to the Hou of the Far East about the matter of the car and boat business," Zuo Xuande also hurriedly apologized.
"It's okay, it's okay, some people are also interested in learning about the car and boat dealings, just listen to it," Zhang Wanfu also smiled.
"Okay, go on, this car and boat company just mentioned that where there is water, there is a certain Datang car and ship, but it will also be equipped with cars and horses, in short, it is to strive to spread the network to the various county governments of Yantang."
Dugu Xinci spat out the smoke ring and continued to speak
"A certain group will build mansions at various ferries, and has now negotiated with the imperial court, and spent 500,000 yuan to buy the post station and ferry hall from Kyoto to Taizhou.
"Xie Xiaotian and Feng are usually looking for a shipyard to build, and shipwrights are also recruiting, and a certain Chinese Normal University has recruited many directors of the Ministry of Engineering to write books, so there is no need to worry about this shipbuilding and shipbuilding, and there are enough boats and boatmen."
"Then let's talk about the operating regulations of this car and ship company, you and others have their own fleet, this is not an ideal customer, a certain car and ship company is mainly aimed at those small and medium-sized merchants who cannot afford to operate the fleet, speaking of which there is still competition with you?"
"Of course, your fleet only serves their own business, and those small merchants and hawkers who only run scattered goods are the big customers of a certain class, and a certain ship is running at a fixed time, such as this Guangyuntan is a certain base camp, and there are ships going to various places every day, and merchant ships and cargo ships are separated, such as ships sent to Luoyang twice a day, two days and a round trip, and the empty ship must also depart, no matter how much cargo you carry, a piece of cloth is also OK, a boat of silk can also be, and a certain guarantee will be sent to the designated place in Luoyang within two days. Of course, the cost varies."
"The same is true for the whole country, such as sending to Yangzhou and Yizhou, there are regular ships departing, and if you need to bring goods, you only need to pinch the point on board."
"There are more than three hundred state capitals in Yantang? If there are ships sent to them regularly, then the number of boats required is not small? Zuo Xuande questioned.
"It doesn't take that much, huh? For example, the ships sent to Yangzhou, through Luoyang, Zhengzhou, Yunzhou, along the Grand Canal can also dock, can also take Bianshui, through Bianzhou, Haizhou, Bozhou to the Huai River, this specific route still needs to be explored, every few years is not a perfect strategy. ”
While everyone was thinking, Zuo Xuande asked again, "I heard that the Marquis of Far East intends to accept 100,000 hermits, but I don't know how to settle them?" ”
"The shipyard needs manpower, the boatman also needs manpower, the building of the ferry also needs manpower, the goods need manpower to get on and off the ship, and the goods are transported to the county government that is not near the river after they are disembarked, and there are more than 1,000 counties across the country, and there are thousands of ferries along the river, and each ferry port is not more than 100 people, and Guangyuntan also needs thousands of people, and 100,000 people are not enough?"
"Far Eastern Hou is thoughtful, ambitious, and has a magnificent layout, if this move can be done, it will benefit the country and the people, and the source of blessings will be vast," Zhang Wanfu praised.
"The vast source of blessing will also be the vast source of wealth, this point is convinced," Dugu Xinci said with a smile.
"A certain fleet is also vacant on weekdays, how about joining the Far Eastern Hou's car and ship business?" Zuo Xuande said suddenly.
"You're waiting for the fleet to join? It's not impossible, but it's a bit complicated, how do you calculate the valuation of your fleet? How to deal with the management in the future? And the distribution of this share is also a headache, so a certain did not bother you when planning this matter, you don't blame a certain eating alone, besides, this matter is now just a picture cake, maybe it is possible to lose a certain savings for many years? ”
"I believe in the vision of the Hou of the Far East, and I am also deeply concerned about this matter, and I obey the placement of the Hou of the Far East, and I believe that the Hou of the Far East will not treat the Hou of the Far East badly" Zuo Xuande said on behalf of several wealthy businessmen.
Dugu Xinci pondered, his fingers rhythmically tapped the armrest of the chair, looked at the sky, the spring rain actually stopped, and the sun's rays also appeared in the clouds in the sky, and several rainbows were very dazzling.
"In this way, you can say two plans, you and others think about it, one plan is that your fleet is attached to the car and ship company and manages it by itself, but the channel and the ferry can be shared with the car and ship company, that is, you can use the ferry house of the car and ship company to store the goods, and you can also take the goods collected by the car and ship company, and the cost will naturally be reasonably distributed, of course, you also need to pay a certain management fee to the car and ship company, which is calculated according to the number of ships."
"The second plan is to discount your fleet into shares, of course, this share will not be too much, a maximum of 10% of the shares and you will be paid, and the premium part will be converted into silver money."
"Of course, this car and ship line also needs the participation of the Guangyuntan Management Committee, with a certain idea, the Guangyuntan Management Committee will account for three percent of the shares, Buddhism will also occupy two percent, Lijingmen one percent, China Normal University will have three percent of the holdings, you and so on need to consider many things, this is not a small matter, China Normal University has paid 500,000 yuan in cash, the specific start-up money has been calculated, this can be much more than the Guangyun Lake repair costs, a certain fear of no five million is not daring to start"
Ancient wood yin in the middle of the short canopy,
The cane helped me across the bridge.
Wet clothes want to wet apricot blossom rain,
The wind blows the willows and does not chill.
