Chapter 419: Who Leaked the Secret?
Five surnames and seven hopes to act quickly, only half a month, the new version of the "Shangshu" engraving was completed, and quickly put into the start of printing, all the new bamboo paper, printing and binding are very exquisite, the main high-end.
This is the power of cooperation, such a big project, for any ordinary book club, it would take three months just to engraving, not to mention printing and binding.
"The new version of bamboo paper is cheap, if it is the previous rice paper, the cost of this book alone will cost one or two silver, and few people can afford it. Now, a penny of silver, and double the profit, there are our calligraphy and painting shops all over Datang, and we will definitely be able to earn back the capital. ”
"Tomorrow, it will start in Chang'an first, now every household has a little surplus food, and there will be more people who buy books, so invest 10,000 copies first to see the effect."
"Yes, the imperial court's promotion of the national literacy program has made our calligraphy and painting shop prosperous. Speaking of which, I have to thank Xiao Rui for that kid. ”
……
"Oh no, shopkeepers, "Shangshu", "Shangshu", ......"Shangshu", "Shangshu", "Shangshu", a subordinate ran to report in a panic, and he was out of breath, his face turned red and he almost choked to death.
"What the hell is going on? Is the sky falling? ”
"No, the Book of Shang ......"
"Bastard, let's be clear, what's wrong with "Shangshu"?" The shopkeeper of the Taiyuan Wang family asked, he thought that something had happened to the original "Shangshu".
"There are people out there who are peddling the Book of Shang." The man finally made it clear.
Oh?
"Waste, there are people peddling the Book of Shang every day, what's so strange about that? Is it worth your panic? Someone scolded.
The man shook his head desperately: "No, they, what they are selling is not a fragment, it is the same complete book of "Shangshu" as us!" ”
What???
Everyone was stunned, and the people of the Lu family stepped forward and grabbed the other party's collar, "Tell me clearly, is it really the whole book of Shangshu?" Same as ours? ”
The man took out a booklet from his bosom, and "the villain bought a ......"
Before the words were finished, they were robbed, and everyone quickly looked at them, you look at me, I look at you, this is impossible...... We're only putting it on the market tomorrow, so why are people peddling it today?
"Who's peddling?"
"I don't know, there are more than a dozen shops in Chang'an that are selling at the same time."
"Xiao Rui, it must be Xiao Rui! Except for him, no one will mobilize more than a dozen shops to sell at the same time. ”
"How much silver does he sell?"
"Shiwen!"
What???
All seven shopkeepers were petrified on the spot, ten wen? Isn't that killing us? We offered a penny of silver, even according to the exchange ratio stipulated by the imperial court, it was worth 100 wen, because our cost was more than 50 wen. He Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui actually sold ten wen? Is it enough for Ben?
Deliberately, absolutely deliberately, deliberately so low the price, let's lose money! The people of the Lu family roared hysterically.
"Wait, we shouldn't worry about how much he sells now, shouldn't everyone ask him, "Shangshu" is in our hands, we spent 200,000 yuan to get it, where did he Xiao Rui come from? Unless......" The man from the Bolingcui clan interrupted.
"Unless someone leaks it!" The people of the Cui family reminded.
Everyone looked at the shopkeeper of the Taiyuan Wang family.
The people of Taiyuan Wang's are confused, I am the shopkeeper of a Wang's Printing and Book Society, I know a fart! It wasn't me who leaked the secret, anyway.
"What do you mean by that? We are all screwed together to make money, will I deliberately leak secrets and ruin our business? ”
"That's not necessarily, your Wang family has contributed a lot of money this time, maybe you want to speculate yourself, and earn back your tens of thousands of taels of money first." The people of the Lu family have a strange aura of yin and yang.
Burst......
"What do you mean? We're Wang's ......"
As they spoke, the two scuffled, and the others hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them to fight.
The people of the Qinghe Cui clan watched this scene quietly, and said in their hearts What kind of thing is this, it is simply a plate of loose sand and rabble, and before the war starts, their own people will fight first.
Persuading the scene, the people of the Boling Cui clan spoke: "Everyone, what I just mean is that unless the original version of "Shangshu" was originally in Xiao Rui's hands, he took it out for auction. ”
What???
"It can't be! He Xiao Rui is not short of money, how can he take it out for auction? The people of the Zheng clan in Xingyang were the first to stand up and refute.
I'm afraid he couldn't have imagined that this thing was actually his Zheng family's thing.
"He is not short of money, but who stipulates that if he takes it out for auction, it must be because of lack of money?"
So he's ......
Wait a minute......
None of these people were stupid, they were all shrewd, and they quickly came up with a terrible explanation.
Hiss......
Glancing at each other, Fan Yang Lu's people stammered: "So, he, he did it on purpose, deliberately released the news to cheat us out of money?" ”
As he spoke, he looked at the people of the Taiyuan Wang family.
The shopkeeper of the Wang family said angrily: "What do you think I have done? Did I deliberately cooperate with Xiao Rui to be defrauded of money? ”
The people of the Lu family snorted coldly: "That's not for sure, if it weren't for the 200,000 Qilin'er in your family, Xiao Rui would have eaten it by himself for 160,000." ”
"What do you mean...... Don't forget, it was the people of your Lu family who were the first to bid together. ”
As they spoke, the two were about to scuffle again, but they were stopped by the people of the Boling Cui clan.
"Enough! Isn't that shameful enough? The matter has come to this, don't doubt each other, this is Xiao Rui's trap. Now that we've walked into someone's trap, let's think about how to deal with it. ”
How to deal with it?
Ten pennies a piece? What else can we do? Lose money with him? He Xiao Rui can afford to lose, we can't afford to pay, originally 200,000 has already hurt us, if we follow him to reduce the price of sales, we are afraid that we will get another 200,000.
"He Xiao Rui is probably trying to squeeze us, and he can't afford to pay it. The price of paper on the market is here, and his cost is not low. ”
"I heard that the new bamboo paper was invented by Xiao Rui, and the bamboo paper we bought and the bamboo paper used by Xiao Rui are not a cost at all. To look at it this way, the cost of Xiao Rui's bamboo paper should be extremely low. ”
……
There are many opinions.
The people from the Boling Cui clan spoke: "Don't forget, if our guess is correct, Xiao Rui sold the "Book of Shang" to us, which means that he has just earned 200,000 yuan from us, and the loss of one penny for a book is enough for him to sell two million copies." ”
The people of the Zheng family said: "That can't be, 200,000, he has to pay a large amount of auction commission." ”
Well???
Everyone looked at this thing like a fool, and said to themselves, are you stupid? When is it all about such a trivial matter as commissions?
Where there is Wolong, there must be phoenix chicks, and the people of the Lu family continued: "I also went to the auction day, and I met Xiao Rui at the door, and I heard the promise of the auction shopkeeper that all the items auctioned by Xiao Rui do not need commissions." ”
……
The people of the Boling Cui clan really couldn't listen to it anymore, turned around, waved their hands and left, "Stop all book printing actions, let's disperse, just don't have this file to cooperate." ”
The people of the Taiyuan Wang family panicked, and hurriedly asked: "Don't, discuss how to do it, at least earn the capital back......"
Make money? Forget it, now the more you print, the more you lose, and timely stop loss is the wisest choice.
The Wang family and the Lu family were the most panicked in the audience, because they contributed the most, and the other families had 20,000 yuan, so it was nothing to lose so much.
