Chapter 10 There are always people who want to make trouble
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu heard that the young man was actually the prince during the day, and hurriedly asked, "Young master, how do you know that he is the prince?"
Shang Weiyang covered his forehead and expressed concern about the IQ of the two, but still answered the question: "In the imperial capital, there is money and the right to order two masters of the Bone Refining Realm, the most important thing is that the genes are so good and have a little white face, who else can there be if you are not a prince?"
The two looked at each other again, obviously a little surprised by this answer, and asked with a confused face: "What is a gene?"
Shang Weiyang realized that he had missed his mouth and hurriedly flickered: "The gene is that the dragon gives birth to the dragon, the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix, and the son of the mouse will make holes, I have a statue of His Majesty the First Emperor in my house, and that guy has a five-point resemblance to the First Emperor during the day, so I can basically determine that he is the prince, but I don't know which prince it is."

The two of them only understood when they heard this explanation, but since they were princes, there should be no danger, and then they happily began to count the silver tickets.
After settlement, a total of 63,200 gold coins were sold today, and a net profit of 63,000 gold coins was made after deducting a cart of bamboo and labor costs.
This is simply a huge profit in a huge profit, but if you want to popularize the price and output of paper for the whole people, it is absolutely not possible, you must spread the plate, as for how to spread this is a science.
The next day, with more than 60,000 gold coins, the three of them also changed their guns, directly bought a shop in the most prosperous Fang Market in the imperial capital, listed the "Starting Point Book House", and printed a large number of leaflets, hired people to distribute them at the gates of major colleges.
Now most people have the impression that paper is still a precious thing, so it is distributed without money, just for the publicity and confirmation of the extraordinary effect, and everyone is curious about whose generosity this is, so heroic.
The first day of the opening of the starting point bookstore can be described as a sea of people, in the words of Shang Weiyang, the scene is comparable to the sale of love crazy, as for what love crazy is, this outsider does not know.
This kind of scene lasted for two months, and a month ago the starting point bookstore had already clarified the product line, mainly three categories, the most expensive finished book was two hundred gold coins, there were ten levels of different contents, and most of the books with widely circulated poems and quotations of the sages.
Then there is the wordless book, this kind of book is a hundred gold coins, the main consideration is that some people think that the finished book is expensive, or there is no book he wants to buy home and copy the bamboo slips, which is also the best sales at present, and then there is loose paper, a large piece of ten gold coins, medium hardware coins, the smallest one gold coin.
After two months, although people still come and go every day, I don't have the same feeling as when I first opened. After two months of emergency cultural supplements, the shopkeeper of the starting point book house at this time is already Li Ergou, oh no, it should be called Li Fusheng now, this is the name Shang Weiyang gave him, from which you can see a little bad taste of someone.
In two months, he made 600,000 yuan, which is three times the net worth of Shang Weiyang when he came to the imperial capital, and such a big benefit must have beaten the nerves of many people, such as Qin Yu, the king of Jin who has lived in the imperial capital for many years.
King Jin is not a prince with real power, there is no fief of military power, he is the younger brother of the emperor of the current Qin State, when the elder brother did not give the fief of military power, of course, he should take care of it in other aspects, such as all the royal paper, all the bamboo slip book purchases of the Imperial Capital College are purchased from the King of Jin.
However, in the past two months, the consumption of bamboo slips has plummeted, and the paper has been ignored at all, and the king of Jin hurriedly entered the palace to investigate, only to know that there is a starting point outside the palace The bookstore also sells paper, and all the paper in the palace has purchased the paper there.
King Jin hurriedly sent someone to the starting point book to investigate, and now he has the finished book that his subordinates bought from the starting point book in his hand and finally knows why even his brother ordered someone to buy the paper from the starting point bookhouse. The smooth white paper, the price is outrageous, and the grass yellow paper is simply uncompetitive in front of this snowflake paper. And because of the price of paper, the business of bamboo slips has also fallen.
If this starting point book house is an ordinary person's family business, then it is better to say, just use the royal identity to take advantage of it, but he was made by the third son of King Wei.
King Wei is not his own idle prince, he is a super powerful faction who sits on the back cover of ten counties and commands 500,000 Zhenbei troops. Thinking of this, Qin Yu, the king of Jin, cried in his heart: "Why, your fiefdom of the ten counties of King Wei is rich in taxes and military salaries, and you let your son come to the imperial capital to make trouble, why? Why do people always want to make trouble." ”
At the beginning of Qin Yu's shouting in his heart, someone suddenly came to report: "Shang Weiyang, the prince of the King of Wei, came to ask for a meeting. After Qin Yu heard that it was Shang Weiyang, he quickly got up and went to the meeting room, he now really wanted to know what he was doing here at this time?
After arriving at the meeting room, he saw Shang Weiyang and the two guards sitting in it, Qin Yu immediately smiled and said, "Haha, is this Weiyang's nephew? ”
Shang Weiyang also hurriedly saluted the juniors and said: "Uncle Qin has praised it falsely, Weiyang's nickname is not enough to worry about." ”
"You are still a nickname and not enough to worry about, and I can't wait to recite you 800 times a day now. However, what Qin Yu said was: "I don't know what happened to me today?"
"It's not a big deal, I just want to find my uncle to work together to do some small business. Shang Weiyang said lightly.
"Small business, I'm afraid it's for the paper-making business, I don't know what the hell is your kid doing, ask first," and then Qin Yu pretended to be puzzled and said, "Oh? I don't know what kind of business the virtuous nephew wants to cooperate with his uncle?"
The little nephew had the audacity to say, presumably the uncle already knew that the virtuous nephew had a paper-making workshop, but the virtuous nephew had limited energy and could not take care of it all the time, so he wanted to sell this workshop to his uncle, and by the way, talk about some other cooperation. ”
Qin Yu was really shocked at this moment, how could this kid sell the workshop if he had a background and was not short of money?
"The virtuous nephew's papermaking business is thriving, why do you suddenly want to buy a workshop?" Qin Yu looked confused.
"Of course, everyone earns money, and I still think that paper is still too expensive, if it is cheaper, it is more conducive to the popularization of paper and the spread of culture, at least more people can read. Shang Weiyang knew that Qin Yu would be puzzled, so he explained.
Sure enough, Qin Yu quickly grasped the key question in Shang Weiyang's words, paper is still too expensive, how cheap is cheap, this must be asked clearly, and then asked: "How cheap does the nephew think is good?" After asking this, Qin Yu was also a little nervous in his heart, and quickly took a sip of tea and pretended to be calm.
"One thousandth of the price now!" Shang Weiyang gave a price that was not enough to describe with the price of jumping, which was simply the price of the Jumping Palace.
Qin Yu had not yet drunk the tea and squirted out directly: "Virtuous nephew Mo is playing with uncle? The price is simply unbelievable. ”
Shang Weiyang wanted this effect, and hurriedly said: "How dare the little nephew play with his uncle, the little nephew dares to say this, of course, it is reasonable, and listen to me slowly, first of all, the previous grass yellow paper will not be said, the cost and manpower used in my snowflake paper are extremely low, even if the current price is one thousandth, there is a fifty percent profit to be made." ”
"Then why give up a thousand times the profit to earn that fifty percent of the profit?" Qin Yu was still puzzled.
"First of all, a thousand times the profit itself is not normal, which limits the popularization and development of paper, and after the price reduction is different, just imagine the original use of bamboo slips all the paper books, this is how big the market, and uncle, you are doing bamboo slips business should know, folk private school bamboo slips are mostly homemade now with this cheap paper book, who still uses the bamboo slips? And uncle, you also have a big advantage, now Your Majesty is your own brother, when the time comes, you will ask for an exclusive external sales qualification like Your Majesty, then Datang, Dahan can still be sold at a high price, and the little nephew can provide a full set of all the technology and machinery, a set of only 100,000 gold coins. A powerful nephew like you suggests buying 20 sets of mass production to reduce the cost even more!"
In Qin Yu's eyes, if Shang Weiyang was a fierce beast, he could be regarded as measuring his fangs at this time. Twenty sets of paper-making equipment, a set of 100,000 gold coins is 2 million gold coins! In the face of this fierce beast, Qin Yu was already speechless in shock.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Shang Weiyang continued to increase: "In fact, before the little nephew came, I had invited the housekeepers of the prince's family to discuss this matter, and everyone had already divided the respective sales scope of the Great Qin Kingdom, King Jin, you are the paper business of the thirteen counties of the imperial capital are all yours, and I can make a decision, and I will also give you exclusive sales in the ten counties of King Wei." ”
Qin Yu had already understood at this time that he had no way out, if he didn't cooperate, it would be a dead end for no one to buy the bamboo slips in the future, and there would still be twenty-three counties that could be sold exclusively in cooperation, and he was cheeky to go to the royal brother to ask for an exclusive sales right, thinking that it should not be less than what he earned now, he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, the virtuous nephew is really bothered, then prepare to sign the contract." ”
Two hours later, Shang Weiyang came out of the Jin Palace, and handed the contract to Zhang Long with a burp, as if it were an insignificant object.
Zhang Long took the contract and put it in his arms and said excitedly: "Young master, one hundred and thirty-five sets, a full one hundred and thirty-five sets of orders, after all the deliveries are thirteen.five million gold coins." ”
Shang Weiyang hiccuped and said, "Look at your little bit of talent, calm down, you see that Zhao Hu is much stronger than you." ”
Zhao Hu was stunned for a moment when he heard the young master mention him and said, "Young master, in fact, I have been shocked and confused. ”
Shang Weiyang was speechless for a while, this forced pretend seemed to be a bit of a failure.
