Chapter 124: It's exactly what this son wants
Xie Qin brought the news back to Xie Xun.
Xie Xun shook the folding fan and nodded, "Well, this Mr. Youya is not bad." ”
Deliverable!
"Second brother, punish me." Xie Qin hung his head, like a child who had done something wrong.
"What mistake did you make to ask the second brother to punish you?" Xie Xun asked with a smile.
"I got my second brother in trouble. If I hadn't helped the mountain chief deliver the post, the second brother wouldn't have been involved in this dispute...... "Xie Qin is really guilty.
The excited and crazy state of preparation of the classmates of Qingyang Academy, he saw it in his eyes. Although he thinks that the second brother used to pretend to be a gentleman in order to maintain his glory, the second brother really didn't spend much time studying, and the second brother was only eighteen years old, where was the opponent of those classmates who had studied hard for one or two decades?
Not to mention Mr. Yamanaga!
The more Xie Qin thought about it, the more he realized that he had done something wrong.
"What a silly boy." Xie Xun patted his younger brother's head soothingly, "Because of the title of the first talented man in the capital, your second brother and I will have a big battle with the learned people in the capital sooner or later." Instead of being challenged by those who are not well-known, it is better to let Mr. Youya come, and the second brother can also win what he needs. ”
Hey? Xie Qin looked up in astonishment, "Could it be that this poetry fighting meeting is also what the second brother wants?" ”
"Not really!" Xie Xun pushed the paper in his hand in front of his brother-in-law, "Do you know how many more copies of the "East China Sea Morning Post" have been sold today than usual because of this news? ”
Xie Qin naturally didn't know.
"A million more copies sold!"
Five days ago, the East China Sea Morning Post was no longer available for free. Although the price is not expensive, it is only three pennies, and the sales volume is greatly discounted. Housewives who are accustomed to saving would rather walk a few more miles and go to the store to see if there are any desirable specials than buy the morning newspaper.
Xie Xun also began to wonder how to attract more people to buy the morning newspaper.
Don't look at the newspaper, a copy is not very much, it sells a lot, plus advertising revenue, the profit is also very rich.
The modern newspaper industry was very prosperous before the advent of 4G networks.
"The net profit of a copy of the "East China Sea Morning Post" is half a penny, and one million copies is five hundred taels."
Xie Qin couldn't believe it, "It's only sold for three pennies in total, so it can make a profit of half a penny?" ”
If according to today's engraving printing technology, it is natural to make no money, Xie Xun changed engraving printing to movable type printing, saving the loss of labor and engraving materials, and naturally there will be benefits.
"Besides, the second brother didn't publish the "East China Sea Morning Post" to earn the money that was printed." Xie Xun said this, and stopped the topic with a pass.
Xie Qinchen wanted to ask, how to make money? But I don't dare, these things should involve the secrets of the house.
"Didn't you say you wanted to be in business? The second brother handed over the "East China Sea Morning Post" to you to manage, how about it? ”
Xie Qin's eyes widened in surprise, and his voice trembled, "Really, really?" May I? ”
Although the sales of the "East China Sea Morning Post" are not much now, listening to the tone of the second brother, it seems that he wants to develop vigorously.
"I'm only sixteen, will my father be worried......" Xie Qin lowered his head a little unconfidently.
"The second brother has the final say on the matter of Donghai Department Store, so you don't need to ask your father. You don't have to be afraid, work hard, and ask the second brother if you don't understand. Xie Xun patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder encouragingly, "Starting today, you don't go to the academy for the time being, and think about how to increase the sales of the "Donghai Morning Post" at home." Write down your ideas and the expenses you need and give them to me in three days. Let's talk about it together. ”
Xie Qin was almost floating out of the surf pavilion, with a trance smile on his face.
"Why is the fourth young master smiling like a fool?"
The little guy looked at the direction Xie Qin left with a confused expression.
Xie Jia snorted angrily, "This family is really getting more and more unruly!" ”
When the younger brother saw his brother, he didn't even say hello, and floated over, yes, it's floating!
An idiot who can't even pass the Xiucai exam, what's there to float about?
Isn't there a cowardly mother in the house, who dares to ignore him, the eldest brother.
When I become the son of the world, see how I clean up these unruly!
Xie Jia's stomach was full of anger, and after entering the Surf Pavilion, he reined in.
"Second brother, what are you busy with?" Xie Jia walked into Xie Xun's study with a smile.
Donghai Department Store is now on the right track, Xie Xun basically doesn't have to work overtime at home, and he no longer lets the maid Ziling stop him, the big brother who eats inside and out.
Xie Xun lazily sat on the official hat chair, supported his head with his left hand, and shook the folding fan with his right hand, "What can I do, rest." ”
Xie Jia secretly scolded a mother.
I knew that I had garlic in front of him!
He was blind before, but now he no longer despises the lazy brother in front of him.
"Don't you have to go to the Tokai Department Store and the workshop today?" Xie Jia asked as if unintentionally, "I heard that a few suppliers went to Donghai Department Store yesterday to make trouble and asked for a price increase, have you dealt with it?" ”
He asked this with some schadenfreude.
The emperor refused to clean up Xie Xun, but scolded the four princes. Although Gao Shiqing was not fighting the emperor's idea, he was unwilling to let Xie Xun and Donghai Department Store go. He sent people to pick up the suppliers of Donghai Department Store, or lured them with profit, or forced them with force, but let him gather more than 20 suppliers and go to Donghai Department Store to make trouble, shouting that Donghai Department Store made so much money, and they should raise the price of these suppliers, otherwise they would not do it!
Those people blocked the entrance of the Tokai Department Store, and customers couldn't get in. In the end, the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division came and tortured the troublesome suppliers, so that the Donghai Department Store could operate normally again.
Among these suppliers, there are several important ones.
At that time, Gao Shiqing and Xie Jia were sitting in the teahouse opposite the Donghai Department Store, watching the money manager of the Donghai Department Store sweating profusely.
In the afternoon, it was rumored that Donghai Department Store and the Five Cities Terracotta Division were oppressive with power, intending to force the merchant's goods to make huge profits, and there were many rumors.
Chu Jue was a little frightened, and asked Xie Xun secretly, "Will this matter affect my promotion?" ”
He did not give the order to arrest people. At that time, he and Xie Xun were not in Donghai Department Store. If any of them were there, they wouldn't allow the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division to do that.
Although he was released immediately, he still couldn't stop the rumors.
When he got home, Chu Jue was criticized by his father, "Didn't you pay attention to the other three deputy commanders secretly making trouble?" ”
The person who gave that order must have conspired to kill Donghai Department Store and Chu Jue. Chu Jue is being assessed by the imperial court and the emperor, and now rumors are spreading, what should the emperor do if he takes the opportunity to promote others?
Chu Jue hurriedly turned around, and his face was dark and calm everywhere he went.
After Xie Jia got off duty this morning, he saw Chu Jue's face from the carriage window, thinking that Xie Xun should also be anxious about this matter.
"Those people~" Xie Xun covered his mouth and yawned, "It's been solved." ”
Yes? Xie Jia was stunned, but also a little incredulous, "So fast? ”
Since yesterday's incident, it has been solved in less than twelve hours?
"Didn't my eldest brother read today's "East China Sea Morning Post"?" Xie Xun yawned again, "Oops, no." Big brother, I have to go to sleep for a while, I won't be with you. ”
After seeing Xie Qin last night, he went to the morning newspaper workshop again, and the sky turned white before he came back. At this moment, he was very tired.
