Chapter 491: Bullying

Jiang Xingchen's hand was so ruthless that he played almost everyone. Some of the pirated merchants and nobles lost their fortunes, and the lords who wanted to run a monthly magazine accompanied them even harder.

They are different from pirate dealers, just find a few shops to sell. If they want to start a monthly magazine, they have to spread it bigger and sell more people. The cost of contacting the merchant for this alone is a significant expense.

In addition, white silk, personnel, and transportation are all added together...... They can be said to have paid their blood.

originally thought that Jiang Xingchen would be overwhelmed by this piracy turmoil, and the sales of monthly magazines would also decline, but they just took advantage of the situation to rise.

But who would have thought .......that now that Jiang Xingchen has made such a thing as paper, all their previous preparations and expenses are almost the same, not to mention all of them. The news of Xingchen Ling is already more attractive than other territories, the paper has an absolute advantage in both price and quality, and the stall is also so big, who will buy their monthly magazine.

These lords all sent people to snap up a book, and scolded while reading it: "Jiang Xingchen, you are a king, you are too insidious, even if the cost of paper is low, it can be sold at a higher price than white silk now." You're doing this because you're going to play with people to death......"

Thinking that their painstaking actions were wasted and that they had lost all their money, the hearts of these lords were dripping with blood, as if they had been slashed.

Everyone knows that Qian Liang was calculated by Jiang Xingchen several times in Hongyuan City, and he almost went bankrupt. At that time, they were all laughing at people. Now they're feeling it for themselves.

First there was the kite garden, and this time it was a piracy storm. Jiang Xingchen, this kid is simply not human! Gliders and paper can be invented...... They can see that this turmoil was deliberately provoked by Jiang Xingchen.

Now they regret it so much that they want to slap themselves hard, there must be a demon when things go wrong. Everyone knows that Jiang Xingchen is not a fuel-efficient lamp, how could he make such a stupid move. But a group of people were blinded by interests and jumped into the trap like a pen.

When those lords scolded Jiang Xingchen and regretted it. On the seven-story treasure ship far away on the seashore, the prince of the An family and the sect master were also stunned by the news from the Qiankun Empire.

"Paper ...... Tough, resilient and portable. Convenient...... Jiang Xingchen actually came up with this kind of thing......" An Jiazi muttered in disbelief, his expression gloomy like water.

If you count them, they're the biggest pirates. The investment is not small at all compared to those lords who organize monthly magazines. And they move faster, a lot of money is thrown into it, and there is already a lot of inventory.

But now, those stocks are smashed in their hands without asking. In addition to waiting for the raw bugs to mold. There is no other use.

The An family has a big business, even if you lose this money, there is nothing. But being played twice in a row, this deep frustration made the An family really uncomfortable. Jiang Xingchen was the enemy who snatched away his intended woman, and the two invisible battles failed, how could the son of the An family endure it.

"Jiang Xingchen's methods are getting more and more powerful, he can be regarded as playing with everyone with this hand, it's amazing!" the sect master sighed softly.

"Hmph!" An Jiashizi snorted heavily, flicked his sleeves and stood up. Ignoring the sect master, he turned and walked out of the room.

The sect leader looked at the back of the son of the An family. The corners of his mouth hooked up a smile: "No matter how outstanding you are, you are also a young man...... It is estimated that he will increase the production of sheep intestines and continue to impact Zhaojia Pharmaceutical......"

The Qiankun Empire, as Jiang Xingchen expected, took advantage of this piracy turmoil, and paper swept the entire empire in just two days.

Lightweight, portable, easy to write, easy to preserve, and many advantages make it immediately replace the position of white silk in people's hearts.

The 200,000 books were sold out in less than a day, and 15 million yuan was made after deducting various costs! Seeing such a profit, Grandpa Fu couldn't help but sigh at the same time when he was excited, complaining that Jiang Xingchen had priced the books too low. Even if five hundred citrine coins are cheaper than white silk, you are only priced at one hundred.

Jiang Xingchen smiled and said nothing, his price was too high, and the follow-up benefits were gone. After all, paper is inexpensive, and if it is to be used for propaganda in the future, it must be shown to the general public. What he wants is popularity, compared with the popularity of Xingchen Monthly, it is a bit worth the loss to set such a high profit now.

His goal is to make the Star Leader the benchmark of this world, to build a mega city, facing not only nobles, but also the common people......

Subsequently, the paper of Xingchen Ling began to be put on the market. However, Yixingling's current production capacity cannot meet too much market demand, and now he still needs to support his own use.

In such a situation, naturally some people are happy and some are worried, and some lords who are good friends with Jiang Xingchen are happy, because they have a paper sales point here. But those lords who prepared the semi-monthly magazine once again sprayed Jiang Xingchen's scolding blood, eager to catch this kid and bite him to death, why don't you sell it to us.

The advent of paper has caused another crazy rush. One citrine coin can buy ten, and the cheap one couldn't be cheaper. Even some civilians with relatively relaxed economic conditions bought a few.

When the person who bought it wrote on the paper, it was called comfortable in his heart, and it was really much better than the soft white silk......

It was June 5th, when people snapped up the first batch of paper and asked around when the second batch would come. The third issue of Xingchen Monthly was released ahead of schedule again, and the chess and card competition that Xingchen Ling had been preparing for was finally moving.

This time, Xingchen Monthly used paper, and the price was only one citrine coin, and 400,000 copies were distributed at one time.

People were shocked, everyone knew that the star leader was short of people, how could they have such a large production capacity.

At this time, people were surprised again by the previous 200,000 books. Before, they were all amazed by the advent of paper and ignored another thing. 200,000 complete volumes of the story, if copied ......

The neat handwriting in the book, anyone can see that it is definitely not copied, otherwise it cannot all be exactly the same. How did Jiang Xingchen get these words?

Everyone's doubts did not last long, and they were soon attracted by the content of the Star Monthly.

The rules and forms of this chess and card tournament have been described in detail above. And the reward system is refined again. Explain that champions are not the only ones who have rewards. Runner-up. The third place, all the way up to the tenth place, all have bonuses.

The champion is still 10,000. The runner-up is 5,000, the third runner-up is 3,000, and the fourth to tenth places are all 1,000. In the mahjong category, only the top eight will be rewarded.

Not only that, but the champion will also receive the title of king of this category, issue special trophies, and the second competition will be directly exempted from the rematch. Straight into the top 10 races.

The tournament will officially start on the 10th, and there will be venues for the main cities of all major territories.

At the end of the monthly, there is another special news. It is the Xingchen Monthly during this chess and card competition. There will be continuous coverage, and a supplement will be published every three days to announce the status of the competition at any time. And the seeded players are scheduled in the early stage.

400,000 copies of the monthly magazine also sold out in one day. The ultra-low price made many civilians buy one. And to see such a message. Chess and card enthusiasts were suddenly excited, and rushed to the competition venue set up by Xingchen Ling.

Those who were ready to take advantage of the piracy storm and also emulate the chess and card tournament were dumbfounded. The people who participated in their races were almost gone.

"Look at the preparation of the star collar, how sufficient! There are prizes for one to ten places!"

"What's that, didn't you see that there is a special trophy, and there will be a second in the future, and the champion will be directly in the top ten!"

"Cut! What is the money, they say. The seeded players are selected first, and the monthly magazine of the stars continues to report! This represents fame, as long as you become a seeded player, you are famous!"

"Don't think about it, just your stinky chess, you can't pass the rematch!"

"Don't think you're so good, maybe you can't even be a civilian......."

Listening to such remarks and looking at the empty chess and card hall, those owners who imitated the chess and card competition wanted to cry without tears. The gap between this Nima is too big, why did the stars greet each other, and everyone ran away. I'm also free of entry fee, and I also have a championship bonus......

"They don't have Xingchen Monthly! This is the benefit of public opinion propaganda!" Xingchen Ling, Jiang Xingchen laughed. Then he shook his head and asked Grandpa Fu, "Are we a bit of a bully?"

The corners of Grandpa Fu's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he said in a low voice: "400,000 monthly magazines, we don't make much money except for the cost, do you spend so much money to bully people?"

Jiang Xingchen laughed and said, "Don't worry, you'll make money later!"

"How to earn?" Grandpa Fu was a little speechless, the entire chess and card competition was all free, and the players who came to Xingchen to participate in the semi-finals still had to eat and live, and in the end, it was a bonus and a trophy, and the only thing left was to lose money, make a fart!

Grandpa Fu was full of resentment, but he couldn't say it. I had to say: "Sir, the paper mill needs to be built on the site of Qingshan Village, and the road needs to be repaired." With the Duan family alone, we spent nearly 20 million again. If the playground needs to be expanded, and the whitewater rafting and rafting projects increase, the construction difficulty is not ordinary...... I roughly calculated that by the end of this year, our expenditure will be at least 150 million!"

Jiang Xingchen smiled and nodded: "I know, don't we have more than 200 million." Moreover, the books alone earned 15 million, and Sun Sanqiang, the membership fee of the teahouse, also collected it, with 20 million...... I still have a lot of tea on hand, and I haven't got the money back from overseas trade, and the income from the territory is ........"

"Sir, that's a lot, but do you know how much it costs...... There are now more than 2,000 people working in our territory, and there are more than 1,000 people doing odd jobs in the surrounding villages, and the expenses of these people alone are ......."

"Stop! I promise that we can make money in this chess and card competition, this will always work!" Jiang Xingchen is now afraid that Grandpa Fu will talk to him about money, this kind of expenditure income figure is more brain-consuming than inventing and creating a zĂ o.

Finally persuaded Grandpa Fu to leave, Jiang Xingchen immediately found Zhao Danqing, and the time for a full-scale attack has come......!
