The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 64 Sales Concepts

"Young master, don't worry, the people who come over from Erxianzhuang are all from our family. They are born as members of the Houfu and die as the soul of the Houfu." The experience of the people who came over there was clear, which made Xuan Shijing realize that this money pile is definitely a rare talent.

"Qiandui, the paper-making workshop on Zhuangzi has already made new paper, take a look." Xuan Shijing picked up a blank piece of paper on the table and handed it to Qiandui.

Qiandui took it over, put the new paper in his hand, rubbed it, and said, "This kind of paper has already replaced the hard yellow paper."

"That's right, so, Qiandui, what you have to do now is to help me gain the maximum benefit before this kind of paper spreads across the market." Xuan Shijing said.

"What does the young master want to do?"

"You send someone to bring this kind of paper to contact the paper mills in Chang'an City, and those shops that sell the Four Treasures of the Study. If you don't open a paper workshop, we will supply it directly. If you open a paper workshop, we can negotiate a price and sell the technical formula to them. "Xuan Shijing tapped the table with his fingers and said: "We also implement district protection. Ordinary merchants only sell recipes. If they want Chang'an City, including the surrounding markets, they will raise the price. In this way, we will not charge Chang'an City. The nearby workshops have sold technology, but they can, the entire Datang, and so on, anyway, paper is going to cover the entire Datang sooner or later.”

The model Xuan Shijing mentioned is a common franchise model in later generations. The so-called monopoly of Chang'an City is actually a regional general agent. It saves a lot of trouble, at least he won't be impeached by Yu Shitai, after all Xuan Shijing is powerless now.

Xuan Shijing saw Qiandui's thoughtful expression, and asked cautiously: "Why, don't you understand?"

Qian Dui raised his head and looked at Xuan Shijing: "No, Young Master, I'm just thinking about how to set the price."

Unexpectedly understood, Xuan Shijing was dumbfounded, no wonder Uncle Zhong and his own mother liked him so much, Qiandui was a born business genius, and his father really didn't choose the wrong name for him.

"Young Lord, how much do you think our technical formula should sell for?" Qian Dui asked.

Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "I will leave this matter to you. There are so many paper mills and shops selling the Four Treasures of the Study in Chang'an City. If you find out clearly, you can decide for yourself. This is also a test for you. Once it's done, I'll leave the business affairs of the Hou Mansion to you in the future."

When Qiandui heard this, his expression immediately became serious. This is his little lord giving himself a chance to test himself. If this matter is done well, he can show his strength in the Hou Mansion in the future. If he disappoints the little lord , I missed this good opportunity, and I am afraid that it will be much more difficult for Lord Hou to entrust me with important tasks in the future.

"Qian Dui will definitely live up to the young master's expectations." Qian Dui stood up and bowed to Xuan Shijing, more like issuing a military order.

"In the future, [-]% of all the money earned by the family will be given to His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Wei." Xuan Shijing ordered.

"Yes." Qian Dui replied without asking why, since Lord Hou ordered it, there is naturally a reason for Lord Hou.

"Okay, you go down and make arrangements."

"Yes." After Qian Dui stood up and bowed to salute, he left the study.

Xuan Shijing looked at the three contracts written by himself on the table, when will he find a time to ask Li Chengqian and Li Tai out: "Long'er, send someone to send a message to His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Wei, let them come out and get together , they will decide on the time and place, and also, send a batch of new papers from Zhuangzi to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Long'er nodded after hearing the words, and asked again: "Young Master, I don't know what arrangements you have for this afternoon."

Xuan Shijing paused, and said, "There's nothing to do this afternoon, so I'll go accompany my bride."

After Xuan Shijing finished speaking, Long'er blessed her body and retreated, leaving only Xuan Shijing in the study.

Xuan Shijing originally wanted to send some to Li Er as well as an advertisement, but after thinking about it carefully, it is better to let Li Chengqian or Li Tai do this kind of thing, and there is no need for him to be in the limelight. "Punctuation Mark" has already spread my name among the nobles of Chang'an City. If I add this new paper, I may be regarded as some kind of evildoer. You must know that if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. Ideas are a good thing, but what can be shown in different age groups is limited, so Xuan Shijing wants to create Shengtang Group, which is similar to the existence of a caravan in Chang'an City, which will make people feel that it is just Xuan Shijing is just a child playing around, which is why Xuan Shijing insisted on using a modern name like Shengtang Group, instead of calling it a caravan as the Romans do. Of course, this also includes some Xuan Shijing's determination to do something new in Datang that has never been done before.

Standing up and putting on his robe, Xuan Shijing opened the door of the study and looked into the yard. The peach trees planted in the yard had already begun to sprout. If you don’t look carefully, you can hardly see the tender green buds. When the time comes, The open space in this yard will become a peach blossom forest, which was transplanted by Xuan Shijing specially ordered the servants of the mansion from other places last year. When you open the door of the study, you can see a peach blossom forest. feel comfortable.

Looking at the thick sable fur coat he was wearing, he probably won't need it in a few days, Xuan Shijing smiled and strode towards Wang's yard.

In the Taiji Palace, His Majesty Li Er was sitting on the imperial case reviewing the memorial. Deyi walked in from the outside, holding a sandalwood box exactly like the one Xuan Shijing received, walked to Li Er, and said softly: "Your Majesty, something sent by His Royal Highness King Wei."

After Li Er finished reviewing the memorial in his hand, he put down his imperial pen, raised his head and looked at Deyi: "En? Qingque sent it? Open it and have a look." Li Er looked at the sandalwood in Deyi's hand with great interest Box.

Deyi put the box on the table in front of Li Er, opened the lid, and Li Er saw the new white paper.

Li Er was a little surprised to pick up the paper in the box, rubbed it, and felt it was very soft. He couldn't help admiring: "Good paper, is this made by the paper workshop in Jing'er Zhuangzi?" His Majesty Li Er just remembered, Li Tai has been running to Xuan Shijing's Zhuangzi outside the palace for the past few days.

"Since this box was sent by His Royal Highness King Wei, it must be the new paper from Xuanwei Houye Zhuangzi." Deyi replied.

Li Er nodded approvingly: "At first, I thought they were just getting together to hang out and have nothing to do, but I didn't expect that this paper was really improved by them. This is another merit for the benefit of all people. , Deyi, pass on the order, reward! King Wei and Lord Xuanwei, each have five hundred copper coins, thirty bolts of brocade, ten pearls, and a jade handle." After finishing these words, His Majesty Li Er looked around for a while. , pointing to the white jade ornament on the side of the main hall: "Deyi, send that piece of white jade to Jing'er as well, so as not to keep calling me stingy."

Deyi bowed and sang promises.

Xuan Shijing often thinks that His Majesty Li Er is too stingy, which really wronged His Majesty Li Er. In the early years of Zhenguan, the national treasury was empty, and the price of civilian goods was not high. His reward, just copper coins, was enough for a family in Chang'an City. Ordinary large households need one or two years of life.

"Bring Qingque back." His Majesty Li Er immediately ordered.

"No." Deyi bowed and backed away, then turned around and left the Taiji Palace.
