Chapter 168: The Stratagem of the Sleeping Dragon and the Phoenix

Less than a month has passed since the opening of the Book Mountain and the Sea of Books, and the readers in Kyoto who are qualified to enter the Book Mountain and the Sea of Books are reading poetry and books overnight.

And during this time, three things also happened in the capital.

The first thing is that the night god of the Emperor Suluo returned to Sura, and before he returned, he was summoned by Emperor Xia Qi and asked him to return to Suluo with a statue, which was re-carved from the statue of all gods presented by Suluo - it was an emperor standing against a sword, and dozens of Suluo people with lifelike faces at his feet.

The meaning of this return gift is self-explanatory.

The night god was reluctant to accept this gift with shame, if he didn't accept it, it would be equivalent to contempt for Great Xia, after all, he gave three gifts before, although it was a hidden irony, but it was also a gift on the surface.

If you refuse to accept it at this time, you are afraid that Emperor Xia Qi will stay in Kyoto in the name of disrespecting Great Xia.

The second thing is that Emperor Xia Qi held a swearing-in meeting in Taimiao, and ordered Weiguo Gongjiang Zhensheng to lead troops to garrison Nanban.

The oath-taking meeting was extremely grand, the ministers of civil and military affairs were all there, Jiang Zhensheng recited "Man Jianghong" in public, as the words of the expedition, and then led 300,000 horses to the south.

Although this time the Patriotic Prince's troops went south and said that it was a southern expedition, it was better to say that it was a demonstration, because whether there was a big war or not mainly depended on Sura's attitude.

If the Suluo people still dare to provoke arrogantly on the border and harass the border towns, then this big war will start.

If the Suro retreat a year or two, most of them will still be deadlocked.

But under the infection of "Man Jianghong", all the soldiers are like a rainbow, and they have the momentum of stepping south this time.

The third thing is that the newspapers and periodicals have been set up, and with the shares of King Yue, Ningguo Mansion, Ji Que and Zhao Guogong represented by Qin Fen, Jiang Han directly waved his hand and bought many properties as book houses.

Some time ago, the victims of the Yunzhou disaster entered Beijing, and they did not worry about not being able to recruit people.

And the person in charge of collecting information is a veteran of the Patriotic Mansion.

The nobles and magnates in Kyoto saw that Jiang Han had opened several bookstores during this time, and even set up their own printing workshops, and couldn't help but think to themselves, isn't this Jiang Han crazy?

Although I know that you can write books, there is no need to directly run a bookstore or a printing shop in order to publish your own books, right?

Many powerful people feel that Jiang Han is mostly used as a word for the town, and he has floated away, and he has begun to do things nonsense.

Originally, the bookstore in Kyoto was already close to saturation, and he was able to open the first three-flavor bookstore and the business was booming, not because the bookstore was doing well, but mainly because the book "Dream of Red Mansions" was well written, which touched the hearts of infatuated men and women!

Now, he has opened several more bookstores, and he has even heard that bookstores have been opened in prefectures and prefectures other than Kyoto.

It is true that "Dream of Red Mansions" is good, and there are indeed many people who buy it.

But during this time, piracy has been flying all over the sky, and even a pirated copy of "Dream of Red Mansions" can be seen in a random bookstore in Kyoto.

Even if Jiang Han opens ten more stores, what is the use of a hundred?

The price of piracy is so cheap, who looks at the genuine version!

"This Jiang Han is probably crazy, right? How much does it cost to open so many bookstores? Is this big dog so rich? ”

"He shouldn't think that one bookstore can earn 10,000 taels and two bookstores can earn 20,000 taels, right?"

"Although this Jiang Han can compose poems and lyrics, he has no business acumen after all, I bet that in less than three months, he will lose even a pair of pants!"

Many nobles watched this incident with the attitude of watching jokes.

At this time, in a restaurant, He Xiuzheng and Wen Ming got together to talk about it.

"This Jiang Han is really crazy! So many bookstores were opened at once, and a large number of workers were being hired. A smile appeared on Wen Ming's dark face, and he said, "This dog has a lot of money!" ”

"Your Majesty rewarded him with a lot of gold, and his "Dream of Red Mansions" also made a lot of money some time ago, of course, there is a lot of money! Wait, I have a plan to speed up Jiang Han's bankruptcy! He Xiu's eyes flickered and he smiled.

"Oh, what's your plan?" Wen Ming hurriedly asked.

He Xiu shook the folding fan in his hand, and the smile on his face became more and more intense: "Since Jiang Han is going to open so many bookstores, then we can sell our bookstores to him at a higher price...... The benefits of this move are threefold.

For one thing, now the bookstore is not profitable, and we can't make much money if we keep it.

Second, this big dog is so rich, so he just took this opportunity to make a lot of money from him.

Thirdly, the more bookstores Jiang Han has, the greater the burden, and the faster he will go bankrupt! ”

Wen Ming's eyes lit up and said, "Wonderful!" That's a great plan! ”

He Xiu said: "I heard that your Wen family also has two printing shops? Just sell it to him and make him a lot of money! ”

Hearing this, Wen Ming was suddenly a little embarrassed: "My family's two printing workshops can earn thousands of taels of silver every year, even if they sell to Jiang Han at a higher price, it will be too much of a loss, and besides, my father will not let me sell it!" ”

Wen Ming saw it very clearly, just sell the few bookstores that didn't make money, this printing shop made a lot of money every year, even if it was not cost-effective to triple the price.

After all, who would sell Wangpu?

He Xiu shook the folding fan and laughed loudly: "Brother Wen, it's shallow, your thoughts are still shallow!" Selling the printing workshop to Jiang Han at this time will definitely increase his burden, and after he goes bankrupt, won't we just buy the printing workshop back? And I can guarantee that the price of buying it back at that time will definitely be 30% of what it was sold! ”

Wen Ming's eyes lit up and said, "Shine!" Yes, yes, in this way, I don't spend a penny, and I make Jiang Han a lot of money! Hahahaha! Brother He, good strategy! ”

After a pause, he said again: "But are you sure that Jiang Han will definitely go bankrupt?" ”

He Xiu smiled confidently and said, "That's nature!" Brother Wen, there are already enough bookstores in Kyoto, and there are many pirated books in private, even if Jiang Han can publish another book, it is impossible to make so many bookstores under him make money with one book? Don't worry, Jiang Han will definitely go bankrupt this time! Maybe you will have to pay for the family of the Patriotic Mansion! ”

Hearing this, Wen Ming became confident: "Then I will go home now, secretly take out the title deed, and then let people sell it to Jiang Han!" ”

He Xiu said: "Well, I'll go back and sell our bookstore too!" I'll go and inform a few of my classmates and ask them to sell the property to Jiang Han as well! ”

Wen Ming said: "In this case, then I will also let my aunts sell all the real estate in their hands and slaughter him severely!" Anyway, I can buy it back at a lower price in the future! ”

As soon as the two of them combined, the price can't rise too sharply, after all, Jiang Han is not a fool, just about 30% higher than the market price.

However, in case of bargaining, it will be increased by 50% first!

When even find someone to talk to Jiang Han about these businesses.

And Jiang Han's eyes lit up when he heard that there were so many properties to sell, I'll go, so cheap?

Directly waved his hand: "I bought them all!" ”

……

When they knew that Jiang Han would buy it without cutting the price, He Xiu and Wen Ming were stunned.

It's not a bargain?

Wrong!

We're selling low!

If I knew that this Jiang Han was so rich, he should have doubled or tripled!

He Xiu and Wen Ming regretted it.
