Happy is happy, but after all, there is something more important than giving a name to paper - how to quickly commercialize something new.

In other words, how to make money with this stuff quickly.

"The next thing we have to do is bring in customers. Iger motioned for everyone to be quiet, "Let's calculate first, after cutting out the useless parts with irregular edges, this piece of base paper can be divided into several rectangles of the same size and shape?"

It's not a hassle to find an answer, just fold it in half. Egger took matters into his own hands and quickly came to the conclusion that a single piece of base paper, with as little waste as possible, could be divided into 6 sheets slightly larger than A4 paper. Taking into account considerations such as plate size and ergonomics that are mainly used for books, it should actually be cut in half again. That is, a piece of base paper can eventually be transformed into 12 pieces of paper of a good size for practical use, which can be printed with words and bound into books or other pamphlets.

"How many sheets of base paper have been produced in a day so far?"

Nina licked her lips and thought for a few seconds: "It's hard to say, from the raw materials to the final paper, there are some steps in the middle that take time to wait, adding lime and other medicinal powders and finally baking with fire can speed up, if you can hire some more people...... It will be much faster to buy more equipment and keep all the processes in circulation. ”

"Then expand as soon as possible, and try to recruit people who are local and familiar with ......," Egger pondered and suggested: "Divide papermaking into several independent processes, and specific workers are only responsible for specific steps to carry out assembly line operations." This will not only speed up production, but if someone wants to secretly learn papermaking, it will also require a lot of money to poach the workers of the entire production line, and such a large amount of money cannot be carried out secretly. ”

"Assembly line?" Nina bit her lip again, thought for a moment, and quickly understood what Egger meant.

"What can you do if people are poaching people in the open?" Tyrion sighed and shrugged, "It's not such a complicated craft, and when the scale of production is large, you can't stop others from learning papermaking." ”

"That's true, so we have to move fast, and we have to build relationships with as many big financiers as possible before they come out to eliminate their potential threats and seize as many markets as possible. Iger nodded, in this world without the concept of intellectual property, it is simply whimsical to want to eat the cake alone, he will not make such a useless effort: "By the way, first put together the existing paper, print a copy of the Seven Stars Bible, find people from the church and various bookstores and grocery stores to show them, and try to negotiate some orders, Tyrion, you are good at this, leave it to you." ”

"How can you tell I'm good at this!?"

"Surely better than me. Egger smiled narrowly, Tyrion's ability to talk about business was unclear, but the status of a member of the Lannister family alone was already a big plus, making the best use of people's talents, making the best use of things, and squeezing everyone's ability and influence, which was especially important in the initial stage of entrepreneurship. "Of course, the need to recruit more staff to share the pressure also has to be put on the agenda as soon as possible. Don't be idle before the big order is negotiated, while studying ways to improve the process while not stopping, all the paper produced is sent to the printing office to be printed into a calendar. If someone wants it, they will be wholesaled, and if no one wants it, they will give it to me as a giveaway in the Night's Watch office, and if a visitor comes to me, I will send a monthly calendar to a visitor, and if it is an investment, the calendar of the Night's Watch in his house will be contracted permanently. ”

"Not a bad idea. Tyrion applauded the idea. Of course, the calendar is not an invention of Egger, in this world of irregular seasons, important points such as major festivals are referred to as the "royal calendar", which was formulated by the school city and released after the review and approval of the Iron Throne. Paper has long been a quasi-luxury, and the items made from it are naturally not common. Officials and wealthy people who need to accurately grasp the time will have a standing house, ordinary city dwellers are generally a few households or even a street, and a slightly poorer country sometimes even has a whole village.

As a non-essential item of life, the paper calendar has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people because of its rare and rare impression in the eyes of ordinary people, not to mention the neat and beautiful prints. Using this thing as a giveaway, it is neither embarrassing nor costly, it is simply suitable.

In this workshop, Egger will always unconsciously become the leader and the principal, and the key is that everyone seems to have no opinion...... After assigning the task, he remembered that he still had himself: "Of course, I don't do nothing, I will find people who can write stories, make up some adventure novels that will be popular, and when we have more paper and printing capacity in the future, we will start printing novels." ”

"Master, you always tell me about your adventures before you came to Westeros, and these stories alone are enough to write a book. ”

Iger just wanted to habitually touch her head to ask her not to interject, but suddenly his mind moved: Hey, why didn't he think of this? This girl is so smart, in order to show fewer flaws when she deceives her, she bragged about it, but she really made a draft, and every night when she remembered a story, she would write it in a notebook as a memo. And what I can remember is not the world's best adventure novels - such as XX tens of thousands of miles, XX Island, XX adventures, XX Crusoe, XX days around the world, etc., organize these wonderful and interesting story outlines and hand them over to a novelist or bard, so that he can refill and polish them into his own adventure biography, as an alternative copyist and impostor...... What kind of adventurous hero will you make?

Believe it or not, the sales will definitely not be too bad anyway, these are all easy-to-understand adventure stories that have been tested by the market and are suitable for all ages, and they don't need any experience and literary literacy to appreciate.

There is still a long way to go to improve the perception of the night watchman in the eyes of the public, perhaps, he should stand up and become an idol?

He gave a rare affirmation of Arya's insight: "Well, good idea. ”

Tyrion's eyes rolled, and he suddenly leaned over to Egg's side and lowered his voice: "There's one more thing don't forget, although it's not on the stage, but the public likes it." ”

"What is it!?" whispered to Arya's ears.

......

It's related to the topic that a few people are discussing, and it's not on the stage and the public likes it?, then it's only Xiao Huang Ben, this is really a good idea, there should be no river crab beasts in Westeros. Egger smiled secretly in his heart, and whispered to comfort the girl: "Don't worry, I'll get you a book when the time comes." ”

Ed himself didn't have time to care about his daughter and let him pester himself all day long, and it was good that he didn't ask him for custody fees and tuition, how could there be so much bullshit.

The things that should be discussed are almost finished, and now, as long as everyone performs their duties and executes them separately, this money game will officially begin.

"And one last thing, you brothers and sisters, I said I would give a reward. Iger remembered that this time the promise was a version negotiated with Tyrion: "Last time, I said that I would give you a tenth of the paper mill's profits, but this sentence is unclear and clueless, and it doesn't count." In this way, half of this workshop is yours - not only the profit, but half of all of it, and when the funds are sufficient in a few days, I will also think of buying this yard as a fixed place for your process improvement and living place. As a return on your investment in technology and merit, I will determine your ownership of this half in writing. And in return, you are not allowed to change jobs or set up another portal until you have my permission, and you must notify the Night's Watch of new ideas and inventions first...... If that's okay, if any of you siblings is to come back to the Night's Watch office with me later, we'll sign the agreement today. ”

"Thank you, sir!" Brother Bill finally reacted quickly: "This ...... Agreement, let Nina sign it. ”
