"What sells roast duck?" Wen Jin pointed to Zhu Xinyun, and wanted to laugh and be angry, "Is that good for opening a roast duck restaurant?" Big restaurant, a day's business flow, maybe there are four or five thousand taels of silver, he still cares about this advertising cost? I heard that since he advertised in the newspaper, his restaurant has been hard to find, and there is a long queue for takeaway at the door. ”

In fact, Zhu Xinyun knew this, and he deliberately made Wen Jin happy. Wen Jin took a year, the article on the scientific page, revised it, and published two sets of books, from writing to revising, it all depends on her alone, she has been really tired recently, Chunming and Xiayang are particularly anxious, and even Zhu Xinyun can see that she is tired.

Speaking of which, Wen Jin feels that he is very lucky, there are always good people around him, Zhu Xinyun is a partner who picks up casually, and he is also a good person with a pure heart, enthusiasm and kindness.

After more than a year of newspaper serialization, many people who like science are eager to have a more systematic and detailed set of books for them to study systematically.

As soon as the book was released, there was a long queue in the bookstore, and Wen Jin didn't expect the market to react like this, she thought that after a year of serialization, there were not many customers left.

Rong Gaoming, the opponent of the bookstore, was a smart young man, who not only did all the experiments in the newspaper, but also pondered them repeatedly, and really tried to make a telephone. Because there is no power plant, he can only design a hand-cranked power generator, and in his own newspaper, hype, helplessly, it is not easy to set up a complete set of telephone networks in the city, not as simple as buying one or two telephones, therefore, there are many people who are interested, but not many people can buy.

Wen Jin anonymously wrote a letter to Rong Gaoming, asking him to set up a telephone bureau, and also wrote him the principle of the telephone switchboard, Rong Gaoming received the letter, such as a treasure, but he calculated it, the early investment was too big, that is, all his funds were pressed, and the difference was too much, and he had to stop the action in disappointment. Wen Jin heard the news, so he had to ask Lai Baoer to send someone to contact Rong Gaoming, she paid the money, Rong Gaoming contributed technology and management, and the two jointly set up a telephone bureau.

The businessman pursued profits, Wen Jin was afraid that Rong Gaoming was too greedy, so he wrote a letter to him: "Selling a phone, no matter how high the price, is a hammer deal, as long as the phone is installed, you have to pay the landline fee every month, and every time you make a call, you have to pay the fee, although the amount of money is not much, but if the number of installed phones is large, the income is still very considerable." At that time, as long as Mr. Rong sees the sun rise every day, he will have countless money back, not only making a fortune in his own life, but also benefiting his children and grandchildren. ”

Rong Gaoming was like an initiation, and happily accepted Wen Jin's proposal, and he advertised in the newspaper, saying that it was to celebrate the 60th birthday of his old man, and the telephone was half price, and the installation fee was 20% off.

The commerce of Maocheng has been very developed, and those merchants have to hire a lot of servants to help spread the word and send notices, and now they see that there is such a convenient tool as the telephone, and they have paid for the installation, and there was a long queue at the entrance of the newly built telephone office.

Wen Jin really can't like this kind of telephone that has to shake the handle while talking, but Mango and Guiyuan immediately fell in love, the two little guys, often sit in the house and make phone porridge with friends - the shake handle is naturally a little girl.

By chance, Wen Jin had an extra income - because the imperial court relaxed the control of iron products, Wen Jin made a spring and made a set of sofas for the family, and the craftsman Zhang Li was a middle-aged man with a lot of brains. How much do you want to say yes? ”

"Well, this, the larger the amount of spring customization, the cheaper it is, if not, I will also contribute a part of the money, and you will partner, you are responsible for doing it, I am responsible for sales, profit sharing, we can discuss."

Zhang Li was overjoyed: "I also asked the craftsman, saying that it is possible to draw the steel bar first, and then hot roll and paint, if the amount is small, it cannot be drawn to make a set of molds, and the price is relatively expensive." ”

Wen Jin is not afraid of the ambition of the opponent, no ambition is troublesome, investment is to make money, she handed over the matter to Lybour, let him send someone to Zhang Li to contact cooperation, negotiate and share, she doesn't care, the only thing she did for the sofa factory is to officially put into production, advertise in the newspaper for a few days, and put a finished product on the street in the center of Maocheng, let the buyer try it.

Originally, Zhang Li was worried that Wen Jin would spread the scale too big, but he didn't expect it to be sold out soon, so he had to organize workers to work overtime.

In addition to praising Zhang Li's pioneering spirit, the article also vigorously promoted the power of advertising, which naturally greatly increased the number of advertisers, and even the "Maocheng Morning Post" was stained with great light, which made Rong Gaoming very happy.

The old man of the Rong family was originally very reluctant for his son to start a newspaper, but now that he was very profitable and his income was stable, he put his mind at ease, and he simply handed over the rights of the family to his son, and he and his wife concentrated on taking care of their grandson, and lived a peaceful life of retirement.

There are peers, there will be competition, "Maocheng Daily" and "Maocheng Morning Post" in order to compete for the market, full of tricks, the common people see that the competition between the two of them is becoming more and more fierce, there are jokes, there are worried, and some scolding, saying that "Maocheng Morning Post" is despicable, Maocheng Morning Post is unwilling, just explain in the newspaper, the explanation does not make sense, it is accused of the rumors spread by "Maocheng Daily", the two families are very happy, the people of the whole city have seen it, and some people even wrote a letter to let "Maocheng Daily" go to the government to sue "Maocheng Morning Post".

Wen Jin and Qian Jun saw the actual maturity, secretly arranged, let the city's businessmen spontaneously set up a chamber of commerce, the president was elected by all the people who joined the association, the effect was very good, the president is not only capable, but also enthusiastic, someone in the chamber of commerce asked for the door, he will try his best to help, so he has more dealings with the government, and often can see Qian Jun.

Because of Qian Jun's support, those officials and officials who looked down on him, posed in front of him, and blackmailed all obediently reined in.

Qian Jun wrote this to the prince, and the chamber of commerce was able to communicate the relationship between the government and businessmen, playing an important role in stabilizing the society and making the place stable and prosperous.

At the same time, on the dock side, the craftsman and the sent Hanlin happened to have a conflict, and when Zhang Hu went to solve the problem, someone with a heart made a suggestion: "The prince of Nanhai has built a chamber of commerce in Maocheng, so it is better to build a union here." ”

Zhang Hu didn't agree, he walked on the front foot, and the back foot was quietly built, with the organization, those craftsmen and Hanlin made trouble, and the more they started quietly, moreover, there was also a rumor of the imperial history, impeachment Hanlin didn't know how to pretend to understand, delayed the opportunity, and worked hard and hurt the people.

Zhang Hu went over again, of course, he couldn't find any traces of the trade union, but he got a lot of old Hanlin's handles, and went back to suggest that the prince transfer Hanlin back to the capital, and the shipyard promoted a capable craftsman to be the head, although it was seven products, but it was also a piece of information, Qian Jun immediately promoted a businessman into the yamen, specifically responsible for managing businessmen, and then, one after another, this department is getting bigger and bigger, and it is almost a sign called the Commercial Administration.

Maocheng's business is prosperous, the merchant power is getting bigger and bigger, other areas, although not as good as Maocheng, there are changes in this area, soon, there was a small businessman riot, the local government deceived people too much, the tax was heavy, and the exploitation of the name of the company was done in every possible way, so the people of the Maocheng Chamber of Commerce quietly sent people over there to teach them to also form a chamber of commerce, if the government was exploited, the city would be boycotted and demonstrated, and the matter soon reached the imperial court, Emperor Yongchang was at this time, and finally couldn't survive the time, and he returned, and the prince was busy keeping filial piety and burial, ascended the throne, and after waiting for a month, the riots of the merchants have spread to the southeast coast and the Central Plains.

The court was immediately divided into two factions, one to suppress and the other to suggest pacification, and the quarrel was raging.

This time, the dividing front is very delicate, unlike the previous camps, all those involved in overseas trade advocate pacification, and in their dealings with merchants, they slowly accept these people, thinking that they are smart, wise, capable and capable, while those who do not participate are not less "poor" on weekdays, and they hate to arrest and kill all the merchants, so that the world is the same, everyone has no money, and they do not seem to be shabby.

Of course, the new emperor favored the side that did not kill, so he accepted the advice of several ministers, and arranged a department in the government - the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, which was served by local famous and capable businessmen, and was changed every five years, and this person could not be identified by the government, and must be elected by local businessmen, and the number of people participating in the election should not be less than 500 at the county level, at least 2,000 at the government level, and 10,000 at the provincial level.

As a result, in the feudal Jurong Dynasty, a trace of democracy finally blew in, and immediately, the exploitation and oppression of merchants was much lighter than before, especially those small businessmen at the bottom, most of whom were peasants at the bottom or urban unemployed. Seeing that the life of the businessmen is better, the peasants are unwilling, the farmers and industrialists, they have a higher status than the merchants, why should the merchants have a chamber of commerce, and they can still be elected as officials, but they can't? Some large landlords, whose skills are no less than those of businessmen, have also begun to work hard, hoping to pass the election and enter the government. The industrial and commercial bureau manages the merchants, and the big landlords manage whom? Of course, it was the peasants, some big landlords, who had a high level of education, they held back their energy, thought about the discussion, and finally came up with a charter: in the government, there should also be an agricultural bureau to manage farmers, land disputes, and organize farmers to build water conservancy.
