Chapter 171: So Dark...
The father-in-law did not believe Xu Qing's words until the end. Not only did he not believe it, but he also persuaded Xu Qing to find a more reliable lie next time even if he lied, and return it to the prince's house... Why didn't you say that you took it from the palace? !
Xu Qing expressed that she was very tired, now that her father-in-law doesn't believe the truth?
Alas, this year's father-in-law is becoming more and more difficult...
so tired……
When Xu Qing arrived at the shop the next day, she couldn't squeeze in. The new book sales were really hot! There is a dense crowd in front of the shop.
Most of them are servants who come to buy books for their young ladies or Young Masters.
In the end, Xu Qing used the Qinggong taught to him by Su Qian to climb over the wall from the side.
Although Xu Qing doesn't have a lot of time to practice martial arts every day, he has never stopped. In the past, he had to step on stools and tables to jump over high walls, but now Xu Qing can easily cross them.
According to the original time limit, the newspaper is published once every ten days, and the newspaper last time was not strictly a newspaper in the true sense. It only had a simple section, which was used to announce the crimes and verdicts of the former Yongzhou Sima. That's all.
Newspapers need to improve a lot!
There must be a story section, right? By the way, there must be necessary advertising space, which is the main source of funds, Xu Qing relies on this to make money.
In addition, some easy-to-understand jingles are also needed to be printed to increase the interest of reading, and a few short jokes are added from time to time.
Adding all these together is almost a complete newspaper.
However, the last issue of the newspaper was just Xu Qing's impromptu play. Although it is called a newspaper, it is extremely subjective. A real newspaper should state the facts from an objective perspective, and this needs to be improved.
Moreover, a special newspaper printing and publishing department has to be established, shopkeepers and editors in charge of newspapers have to be recruited, and shops have to be bought.
Also, can the white granulated sugar and rock sugar prepared yesterday be sold?
In addition to these two, soap and scented soap projects have also been put on the agenda by Xu Qing. After having a workshop, you can have as much soap as you want, and you can make money and use it for yourself. It's not too easy.
But these all need to spend money to buy shops and workers...
Standing on the second floor of the bookstore, Xu Qing looked to the left and then to the right. He saw a long street...
If it meets the needs of various departments of the national business...or...just buy all the shops on this street?
Soap, soap, and sugar making, once established, I believe the profits will be astonishing and eye-catching. This matter has to be discussed with the virtuous king, and it should be incorporated into the national business, so that no one else dares eyes were red.
Why do you have to cooperate with King Xian? Wouldn't it be easy to cooperate with Xiao Ye and Xiao Ruxue?
That is to say, after all, it is true that no one dares to provoke the two sons of Dachu who are the only ones with a fierce reputation, but once the word "easy" is used, it means that someone can still afford to provoke them——Xian king!
I really can't bear the envy of King Xian, the big boss behind the scenes!
If the virtuous king's eyes were red, the two brats together wouldn't be able to stop them!
Moreover, it would be difficult to open the shop out of Yongzhou City if only the three of them fight together...
Just like Qingxue Study, it has been developed for so long and is still limited to this corner of Yongzhou City, and there is no sufficient strength to step out of Yongzhou City.
But the state business is different. The Xianwang Mansion can mobilize its own and even the terrifying capabilities of the state apparatus of the imperial court to quickly open stores in every corner of Chu State, and these shops are also controlled by Xu Qing, the CEO and partner of the state-owned enterprise headquarters.
In this way, the amount entered into the account will be huge! Far better than Xu Qing and the three fighting together.
Of course, there is a more critical point, once it is linked to the national business, whether it is opening a shop or recruiting manpower, it will be the national business's money! Even if you buy a shop on this street, you have to use the account books of Guoshang, which has nothing to do with Xu Qing's own money!
You can save the most money and earn the most money. There is nothing wrong with looking for Guoshang!
Of course, these things can be postponed. The first task now is to produce a newspaper in the true sense. Not only the virtuous king needs this stuff, Xu Qing also needs it.
If he is provoked by some unsightly dude in the future, he will post a message in the newspaper: Shocked! A certain dude actually went to a brothel to only listen to music and never called a girl, let alone a wife or concubine! Could it be that... this newspaper will follow up and report further...
When the newspaper is actually launched, Xu Qing will see who dares to mess with him!
Anyone who doesn't have a good eye dares to provoke him, he will directly ruin that person's reputation in Dachu!
I can't kill you!
...
afternoon
Xu Qing, Xiao Ruxue, and Xiao Ye gathered in Xu Qing's hut and office.
Xiao Ruxue put the two newspapers on the table and said, "These are the two samples that Xu Qing asked me to make."
Xiao Ye picked up two copies and flipped through them respectively. One of them was just a very simple large folded paper, about the size of a newspaper of later generations. It was divided into various sections, including happy smiles and stories, reports on political affairs, and Some jingle or something.
There is a sentence printed in a very conspicuous place: Qingxue Study, the price is affordable, large quantity is favorable, buy one get one free, welcome all talented people in Yongzhou to come and buy.
There is another sentence below this sentence: Do you want to feel the heat of summer in the twelfth lunar month of winter? Bamboo Ye Qing Tavern, buy a pot and get half a pot free! Not strong, no money!
There are a few boxes under these two sentences, and a line of words is written on it: Advertising space investment, the number is limited, until the purchase is finished, the highest price will get...
what does this mean?
Xiao Ye didn't understand...
Then, Xiao Ye picked up another copy, which was different from the first copy. The other copy was about the size of a book that he usually reads, and it was made into a booklet with exquisite patterns and printed on the cover. There are cyan cloud patterns, and there are four big words printed in the cloud pattern: Yongzhou Xunbao.
Below the words "Yongzhou Xunbao" there is a motto written in block letters:
There are roads and diligence in the mountain of books, and there is no limit to the sea of learning.
——A gift to scholars all over the world.
Xiao Ye blinked, newspapers...can still be used like this?
After opening, it is different from the simple newspaper on the first page. The first page is poetry, the second page is the message issued by the government, and the third page is the historical story...
In short, there is only one word to describe each of these booklets - exquisite!
Xiao Ye raised his head and looked at Xu Qing: "Brother Xu, how much are these two copies worth?"
Xu Qing said: "That piece of paper is worth a penny, and this booklet is worth a penny."
"Is there any difference?"
"A penny..."
"it is good……"
"Brother Xiao also thinks it's good, right?"
"It's so dark..."
Xu Qing: "..."
