Chapter 172: There Is No Big Family In The World Who Is Not Easy To Cheat
There are also many cheap story books that cost only a penny.
But... this booklet, how many pages can it have? Brother Xu dare to sell it for a penny?
Isn't this clearly a scam? !
Xiao Ye looked at Xu Qing, thought for a long time, and said in a very gentle tone: "Brother Xu, do you think our price is a little bit inappropriate?"
Xu Qing thought for a while and said: "That's right, no matter how this booklet is decorated with colorful paintings and cloud patterns, it seems that there is something wrong with pricing it at a penny. The price of the brochure has been changed to one and a half cents, we can’t lose money selling things.”
Xiao Ruxue nodded at the side without raising any objection. She always supports what Xu Qing wants to do unconditionally.
Xiao Ye coughed and said: "Brother Xu, what I mean is not that his price has been lowered... but that it has been raised... You don't have a few pages in total, even if it is used for colored drawings, it will increase the difficulty of printing. , but you can't sell it for a penny and a half anyway?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "Brother Xiao's words are wrong, the people who sell this brochure and this newspaper are completely different."
Xiao Ye heard this, looked at Xu Qing and asked, "What's the difference?"
Xu Qing said: "This booklet is beautifully printed and has a special section for poems and poems, so this booklet is aimed at those big dogs."
Xiao Ye asked suspiciously: "Big dog?"
Xu Qing coughed and said, "It's those rich people."
Xiao Ye asked: "This pamphlet is the same as the penny newspaper except for the addition of a few more poems, songs and short stories, and the deletion of the advertising space. Will anyone buy it?"
Xu Qing patted Xiao Ye on the shoulder and said: "Brother Xiao, you have to believe that there will always be people with stupid money and big money who will come to buy them. They need and desire accurate information interaction more than ordinary people, especially It's official news, and this group of people can't wait to deliberately behave differently from ordinary people in food, clothing, housing, transportation, and even walking to declare their superior status. Compared with reading newspapers in vernacular book."
"Besides, Yongzhou is an upper state, and the proportion of literati is second only to power cores like Beijing. As long as the publicity is done well, I don't know if these brochures will be enough to sell."
"And the most important point is that the newspapers we sell to ordinary people are sold at a loss. If we sell more copies, we will lose more money. We must always find some way to return the cost. There is no way not to sell more expensive... Merchants can’t keep running this loss-making business.”
Xiao Ye dragged his chin with one hand and asked, "Are they really so easy to deceive?"
Xu Qing took it for granted: "Based on my experience, rich literati like them are much easier to deceive than ordinary people and poor scholars! After all, the poor can hold their pockets much tighter! These people who are eager to be different Big households are the best targets for slaughter.”
"Brother Xiao, you don't have to feel that you can't get over the hurdle in your heart. Our transaction is completely voluntary, and we will not do that kind of forced buying and selling. Moreover, we are also helping more poor people. It can be said that the rich It can be said that money is taken from the people and used by the people, we are just taking the money they desire to be different to help those who are eager to read but can’t afford books to have books to read, and we are doing good.”
Xiao Ye listened to Xu Qing's earnest teaching, his eyes gradually became firm, he nodded vigorously and said: "Brother Xu is righteous! Serve the country and the people! I admire you!"
Xu Qing waved his hand and said modestly: "I'm just doing what I can, it's really nothing, it's nothing... Brother Xiao praises it, Brother Xiao praises it."
When Xiao Ye went out, he went out with a heart full of admiration for Xu Qing. Brother Xu worked so hard for the poor children!
At this moment, he has begun to feel that all poor scholars in the world should thank Brother Xu!
Who else in the world would think of a way to use the money of the rich to create opportunities for the children of ordinary people to study?
...
After Xiao Ye walked out, Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue and said, "You need to be more careful in the future, don't be like your big brother, see Talent is all used in force, and you can be fooled into a dizzy head with a few words, you In the future, you have to think more about things before you can see the essence of a businessman, you know?"
Xiao Ruxue raised her head and said, "I'm much smarter than him! I won't be fooled easily!"
Xu Qing nodded, and finally added: "By the way, don't believe the nonsense of other businessmen except me. Those businessmen outside, nine and a half out of ten sentences are deceiving people. Not all businessmen are like that. Do you know that I do business by touching our conscience?"
Xiao Ruxue nodded vigorously, bent her eyes and said, "Yes! I see!"
Xu Qing was very relieved, it seemed that Xiao Ruxue listened to the persuasion, but at the same time began to worry about the emotional intelligence of the two children, King Xian.
Fortunately, I grew up in the prince's house! But any child from an ordinary family has been fooled many times!
Xiao Ruxue looked at Xu Qing, rubbed Own's stomach and said, "Do you have any snacks here? I haven't eaten much, I'm hungry..."
Xu Qing took out a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from a shelf beside it and put it in front of Xiao Ruxue, "Xiaoshi just bought it from outside today, and it tastes pretty good, do you want to try it?"
Xiao Ruxue jumped to Xu Qing's side, picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, thought for a while, stuffed a piece into Xu Qing's hand, and then picked up another piece and put it in his mouth.
After taking a bite, Xiao Ruxue narrowed her eyes and said, "Well, it's delicious! You should try it too."
Xu Qing glanced at Xiao Ruxue, then at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand, and took a bite.
It is indeed delicious.
But it shouldn't be so delicious that you squint your eyes, right? Can a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake give you a sense of happiness? Are the desserts at Wangye's house not as good as those sold in pastry shops outside?
...
After eating a piece, Xiao Ruxue suddenly asked: "Xu Qing Xu Qing! You said just now that rich people's money is the easiest to cheat, but my uncle is also a big one, but his money shouldn't be easy to cheat, right?"
Xu Qing put the last bit of sweet-scented osmanthus cake into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it, and said, "There is no big family in the world who is not easy to deceive. By the way, what do you Uncle do?"
Xiao Ruxue said: "He is the emperor, and all the civil and military officials outside say that the crime of deceiving the emperor is very serious, so serious that he will lose his head. He should be the only big family who will not be deceived, right?"
Xu Qing sighed, and said: "There is no big family in the world who is better at cheating than the emperor..."
