Chapter 149: Puzzles

The other four people who accompanied the reading watched with their own eyes, Yuan Wenjie and Yuan Wenwu drew the comic strips, and what they got in the past was sold in the bookstore.

With a close observation, I realized that the production process of a book is difficult to say (mainly to have content), and simple and easy to say (only how many words are on a page, all supported by pictures).

But when everyone heard it, the eyes of the brothers were green with the money they earned from the first three books, even if they were the prince, they didn't have so much cash in their hands!

Cai Hanwen's expression was the most exaggerated, he was the poorest of all people, and his eyes were red with envy: "You guys actually made so much money? Me, can I write too? ”

The Cai family is known for its clear stream, the value of the family is all calligraphy and painting, and it is not allowed to sell, his monthly money is only 5 taels of silver, he dares to say that the Yuan family brother's savings are more than his father's!

Qin Ke scratched his head, he ate and drank from the palace, he had 50 taels of money a month, he didn't have any expenses, and when he went out of the palace, he went to Yuan's mansion to eat, and bought some snacks for his younger brothers.

Gao Qianli and Gao Wanli are not short of silver, but they are not as many as these two big families, so several people are staring at Yuan Wenjie and Yuan Wenwu, eager to get some inspiration and make some money!

A teenager can appreciate the beauty of having silver in his hand.

Yuan Wenwu smiled, as if he had already prepared, took out a few flat square wooden boxes, and opened them for everyone to see.

"Isn't this the puzzle that your family plays with Little Five and Six?"

"yes, we can all play all morning!"

"Then you say, if we make more of these puzzles and put them in the bookstore, can we sell them well?"

Yuan Wenjie also took over his brother's words:

"We can take the first three books and this one, pick some beautiful pictures, and use them to make the original shape of the puzzle, and we can also take out the two dogs separately and put them on clothes of different colors and shapes, and play with them for the younger children."

"Well, my mother said, this is the peripheral product of the comic strip, and people who are willing to buy our comic strip should also be willing to buy this puzzle!"

"How do you have this brain? Fifth brother, sixth brother, you just say, how much money do you need to invest? Fourth brother, I, no matter what I say, all my money will be given to you! ”

Qin Ke doesn't know how to buy and sell, but he knows how to invest, this puzzle is interesting to look at, and there is meat to eat with his younger brothers.

Gao Qianli and Gao Wanli looked at each other, ready to move, but they were still more reserved:

"Well, isn't it? The comic book was drawn by you, and the puzzle was also made by Zhong Qinbo, didn't we take advantage of your family? ”

Cai Hanwen nodded, he originally wanted to make up his own story and make a comic book, but at the moment, this puzzle seems to be better, but this is really taking advantage of others, and his family's upbringing does not allow him to act like this.

Yuan Wenjie said: "Let's call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again, how much capital can everyone get together, this business, to put it bluntly, will make a quick profit, believe it or not, as long as this puzzle is listed, it will be profitable, and within a few days, there will be many similar ones." ”

"Yes, after all, our brothers have limited financial and human resources, and my mother doesn't care about us, if you don't participate in this puzzle business, we can't do it!"

The words have been said about this, and the rest of the people can only accept the kindness, Xia Yan heard this, and became interested.

"You've all figured it out?"

A few people nodded, and he thought for a while: "That's it, the idea and the selection of Yuan Wenjie and Yuan Wenwu are considered to be technical shares, and if you find someone to do the puzzle and count the lonely, a few of you will invest in the silver shares, as for the sharing, Lone and Yuan Wenjie and Yuan Wenwu are two percent each, and the four of you are one person and one percent, is it feasible?" ”

"Yes, no problem!" Gao Qianli and Gao Wanli spoke in unison.

"More than one percent!" Cai Hanwen felt embarrassed, and now he even took advantage of His Royal Highness.

"Great, I have a total of 2,000 taels in deposit!"

"I'm only 1,000 taels!"

Cai Hanwen was the most hard, and he was silent for a long time before saying: "I, I only have 500 taels!" ”

This was quietly stuffed to him by her mother, for fear that he would encounter something when he entered the palace and needed to be dealt with.

"Actually, it doesn't take much at first, you just need 500 taels per person, and two thousand taels of silver is enough, and the cost of these is just labor, wood, and paint."

"Well, it's lonely to find people and labor money, so a few of you will pay for wood and paint!"

"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, fifth brother and sixth brother" "Great! Hahaha"

The seven-member team is excited, this is the first big thing they do together, and it is related to making money, which is of great significance!

Speaking of which, the idea of making puzzles comes from the idea of Zhongqinbo, but the craftsmanship is from the old Yuan.

With acquaintances who are easy to do, the prince's personal eunuch, Xiao Mozi, took the letter written by Yuan Wenjie and went to Zhongqinbo's mansion.

"What? Let my apprentice find someone to make toys with? Old Yuan Tou didn't expect that according to what his son said, the wooden blocks he cut out were given to a few little grandchildren to play with, and now they are actually made into toys for sale!

However, on the way to escape the famine, they made their fortune all the way from gadgets, so they can understand very well that children's money is easy to make.

Then you have to support the eldest grandson's business! Old Yuan didn't eat anything, and took Xiao Mozi to Dali Village.

Lao Yuantou's two apprentices are now big names, and the furniture made for those courtyards in Dongcheng is mainly these two people.

Zuo Laishun and Zuo Laicai, cousins, men in their twenties, because they learned the craft of Lao Yuantou, and earned a lot of silver in the project of Zhongqinbo, and now the orders in their hands are soft.

However, when they heard that the master was in need, the two honest men immediately patted their chests and wanted to work for the master first.

Old Yuan's eyes widened: "Which one told you to leave the list in your hand behind?" This jigsaw puzzle toy doesn't need much complicated craftsmanship, you find a dozen, good character, trustworthy, labor and management take them to do! ”

Old Yuan Tou can't wait to have something to do, he doesn't want to make money, he just wants to have a job to do, and he is happy!

"Old lady, a dozen people are not enough! It's better to find more. Xiao Mozi thought about the master's explanation, this first wave, to seize the market, how to make 10,000 sets.

"Well, our village is not enough, let's find Zaozi Village and Hongguo Village, let's get 50 people first!"

This work was placed in the front yard of Yuan's house in Dali Village, and in three days, the two apprentices brought together 50 people for the old Yuan Tou, bought a lot of cheap cork, and started to do it in full swing.

The pieces of the puzzle only need the thickness of bamboo, and each piece is broken down into pieces ranging from ten to one hundred, with different sizes and shapes.

Carpenters need to make wooden blocks of different sizes and shapes according to the samples.

It's not a carpenter who makes a complete drawing, they can choose different shapes, do it repeatedly, and do it on the assembly line.

As long as the final wooden block can be smoothly dug into the pattern hole of the mold shape decomposition, there is no gap in the passage is considered to be fully qualified.

Old Yuan Tou was too lazy to go back to the capital, Ma was not at ease, and followed the old man back to Dali Village.

Cuihua arranged for her in-laws' usual mother-in-law, girl and maid to go to the village to serve them, and Ma only had to be her old lady.

Heiwa was triumphant: "Daughter-in-law, don't say it, the two of us have their father's demeanor, and they know how to find a partner when doing business!" ”

"You've fed the food to your mouth, and if they don't know how to swallow it, they'll be fools!"

"You're just too demanding, think about it, what were we doing when we were ten years old?"

"Hmph, aren't you being bullied every day, you don't dare to go to school without food!"

"You, you. Daughter-in-law, I was wrong! "The daughter-in-law is too resentful, it's not good, it's not good!

This month's rest, the prince and the six companion brothers ran to Dali Village, and after looking at it in a few days, they made 500 sets of puzzles, and everyone expressed their satisfaction.

The flow of water mat work, just fast!

The coloring work, a few people also planned to do some of it themselves, wearing aprons specially made for them by Mrs. Zhongqinbo, holding small brushes, and carefully painting them one by one according to the color of the puzzle.

After the content of the patterns in the puzzle is broken down, the depiction is more concise, and they are easy to draw.

Lao Yuan Tou watched from a distance, it was the prince, and he actually followed his two eldest grandsons, pouting his buttocks and applying paint, Lao Huai was relieved: his eldest grandsons were friends with the prince!

In this Manchu Dynasty, how many people can have the same success as his eldest grandson? Really, this mood is so good, I am full without eating!

"Be careful, after these wooden blocks are sawed out, they will be smoothed, this is for the dolls to play with, the dolls' hands are tender, don't be stabbed by wooden thorns!"

"Old lady, don't worry!"

"Old lady, let's wait to get paid and go back to make my mother-in-law look good, we won't be careless!"

"Yes, don't you know, these mothers-in-law are now in the noodle shop, and they earn more money a month than the masters, and they are not happy to do housework when they go home, let's talk a little heavier, and they don't have anything to eat!"

"Let's look forward to it, this jigsaw puzzle business will take a long time to get started, and this job is not difficult, don't worry, we won't smash your signboard!"

Old Yuan Tou nodded with satisfaction, his main job now is security checks, and he has to personally check every piece of wood, so he can't embarrass his grandchildren.

I also participated in the part of the business funded by myself, and several investors felt a great sense of accomplishment, and finally one of them picked out a few sets of puzzles that they had painted and wanted to take home to give to their younger brothers and sisters.

Although I was tired to the end, my neck and waist were sore, but I was tired and happy!

A few young men still have no concept of money, two thousand taels of silver, and the timber they buy can be made into millions of sets, what kind of small business can this be?

Lao Yuantou, a diligent and thrifty housekeeper, can give you every piece of wood, and the arrangement is clear, and it will not be wasted!

The prince found ten craftsmen with painting skills for the workshop to do the final process.

"Two Black Dogs on the Road IV" has been printed in 50,000 copies, still 10,000 copies in color, 40,000 copies of black and white drawings, just wait for the puzzle to be completed, and then put on the market together.

Qin Ke couldn't help but look forward to it: "You said, you have made a lot of money, what are we going to do with it?" ”

Cai Hanwen was unequivocal and made a lot of determination to say: "I want to move all those books that I have been reluctant to buy home!" ”

Yuan Wenwu felt that he had nothing to buy, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I want to keep the capital, and I won't be blind when I encounter a more profitable way in the future!" ”

Yuan Wenjie obviously had an idea: "I want to use it to buy a shop and collect rent as a charter company!" ”

"Wow, charter man, it sounds so powerful, fifth brother, you take me!" Qin Ke felt that this sounded like the most suitable for him, and it didn't take a brainstorm!

Gao Qianli nodded, this is okay, but he has another idea: "It's okay to buy Zhuangzi, my family planted peppers this year, and they sold a lot of silver!" ”

Gao Wanli concluded: "Say a thousand things and ten thousand, we don't know how much we can earn in the end, how many arrangements, and how few plans!" ”

Prince: Lonely is not short of money, what can you do with the money you earn? Can you still buy land and shop by yourself? You have to ask the queen mother!
