When Dai Zhou designed the stock pattern, a large number of officials put forward their own opinions, and the artist drew the pattern.
And because of this, a large number of design works are emerging one after another.
But when these works were presented to Li Shimin, they were not recognized by Li Shimin.
When Dai Zhou presented these stock patterns to Li Shimin, Li Shimin was frowning at them.
He looked at it for a long time.
Started to speak.
"This design is too complicated and the recognition is too poor."
"This design is too simple and has no personality at all."
"This one looks okay, but it just doesn't make sense."
"What about this one? What is the design? How come there is such a design among our officials?"
…
Li Shimin disliked these stocks very much.
There was no stock design that he felt was feasible.
After picking and choosing, he finally picked two out of 100 design works, but he was still not very satisfied.
But this is the best way their court can do.
"Just these two, you can choose one of them and take a sample and show it to me."
"Yes! Your Majesty."
Dai Zhou then took two stocks to proof.
During this period, the imperial court also had its own printing house. They could also print some of their own things and the quality was not bad. Therefore, some internal publications of the imperial court were printed by their own printing place.
But they are still lacking in anti-counterfeiting printing.
After Dai Zhou took two stocks for proofing, he quickly took them to Tai Chi Palace and showed them to Li Shimin for inspection.
The actual results of these two samples were better than Li Shimin imagined.
But it seems that good things are not enough.
Li Shimin raised his doubts.
"Can these stocks be sold privately?"
This is his doubt.
When Dai Zhou heard this, it seemed that the same was true.
"Yes, Your Majesty, there are many private printing houses that can print such effects."
Li Shimin shook his head.
"If that's the case, it makes no sense. Our stocks can be copied by the private sector. Even if some people don't buy our stocks, they can also defraud them by printing. This is not a problem for us.
Good thing, what do you think?"
When Dai Zhou heard this, he thought it made sense.
It's really hard to imagine that Li Shimin could think so far.
But it can't be solved at once.
Dai Zhou added: "That's it, Your Majesty. This is only the highest level we can achieve. It's impossible to carry out further printing."
He said this, but Li Shimin said again: "If we let Shengtang Group do it, do you think it is possible?"
When Li Shimin asked, Dai Zhou felt that it was okay.
After all, Shengtang Group represents the most advanced technology.
What they can't do, Shengtang Group can definitely do.
So, Dai Zhou said: "As far as I know, the production group invented an ink that can change color. When the angle is different, the color of the ink will also change. And the text they can print is also more beautiful.
Very precise. If we print it for them, it must be very good in terms of anti-counterfeiting."
When Dai Zhou said this, Li Shimin thought it was feasible!
"Then let them print it!"
Li Shimin made a decision immediately.
Dai Zhou then said: "But in terms of confidentiality, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of? Each stock has its own unique number. And we have to keep the bottom. If you are really afraid that people will come over then, review it from beginning to end. If there is a leak, stop printing on the spot.
Even if it is printed waste, we have to take it back. Then what are we afraid of?"
Li Shimin's consciousness is even better than that of Dai Zhou.
Dai Zhou's thinking was still too narrow.
So, when Li Shimin said this.
Dai Zhou immediately said: "Then I know, then I will do it now!"
"Go quickly. This matter is urgent."
"As you command!"
So Dai Zhou went to Shengtang Group with the designs of two stocks.
After Dai Zhou arrived at the Shengtang Group, it was Li Min who received him.
This surprised Dai Zhou.
Because Li Min usually doesn't receive people.
But today is surprising.
Li Min happens to be here, so some of his questions can be answered.
So, he first placed the stock in front of Li Min.
And said: "Sir, I followed your suggestion and made some designs for the stocks. Now we have printed these two stocks."
"Very good, what's wrong?" Li Min didn't understand what he wanted to do.
"It's very good, but there is a little problem." Dai Zhou said.
"What's the problem?" Li Min asked.
"As for anti-counterfeiting, this stock is not very good at anti-counterfeiting. Now there are many printing plants in Datang, and they can print a lot. If this thing falls into the hands of someone who is interested, then there will be a lot of them in the future.
It’s a forgery, so Your Majesty asked me to come over to you to see if there is any solution.”
It turned out to be this. What did Li Min think it was?
"have!"
Li Min just said something.
Dai Zhou was overjoyed.
"what is that?"
"There are many kinds, it depends on what you need."
"Sir, can you tell me?"
Dai Zhou asked again.
"Of course, the first type is invisible ink, which is ink hidden in the design pattern and can only be revealed under certain conditions, such as irradiation with purple light or the use of special reading equipment."
"This is good, this is wonderful, so with this thing, basically no one will dare to imitate it, right? Because they can't do it," Dai Zhou added.
"Indeed, but we don't know the future yet, so there is a second option."
"What's the second one?"
"The second is to achieve anti-counterfeiting through paper features! For example, using special fibers, fluorescent particles and other additives to make paper, giving it unique visible and hidden features, such as watermarks, transparency and color changes."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Sir, can this be merged with the first one?"
"Okay, it's just a matter of money." Li Min said with a smile.
It’s really a matter of money. With money, what can’t you do?
"Yes, yes, is there anything else?"
"Of course there is, the third type is silicone oil embossing! The raised silicone oil pattern or text increases the touch of the product. This kind of embossing is very difficult to fake!"
"I've written it down, is there anything else?"
"There are three more, listen carefully!"
"Yes, sir."
“The first type of laser engraving uses laser technology to directly engrave product information or patterns on packaging materials to increase the anti-counterfeiting effect.
The second type is optically variable ink. The color of the ink will change under different viewing angles, which can be used to verify the authenticity of the product.
The third type is magnetic materials, which can be used to detect the authenticity of products by adding magnetic materials."
Li Min mentioned six types at once. In fact, there are more than these six types, and there are more anti-counterfeiting methods. These methods are very clever.
"Sir, if all these anti-counterfeiting methods are used, how much will it cost?"
"At least ten taels of silver per piece!"
Li Min said this.
"Is that much?"
This really made Dai Zhou think it was a bit expensive.
"Of course, you can choose several combinations, usually about one or two of each type."
Li Min said this.
This is still a bit expensive.
But compared to not being counterfeited, this is better.
Dai Zhou couldn't decide himself.
"Sir, do you have a sample?"
"Yes, there are samples of the six anti-counterfeiting methods. You can take a look. Here."
Li Min gave the sample to Dai Zhou and said: "If you print more, the cost will be lower. If you can print more than 100,000, the price can be reduced by half."
When Li Min said this, Dai Zhou was a little moved.
"If you print one million, can you get one-tenth of it?"
"sure!"
"That's six kinds together, one or two?"
"right!"
"I understand!" Dai Zhou said.
Then he took the sample Li Min gave him and started to read it.
These samples are really amazing.
It made him feel that these things were really incredible.
After looking at it for a long time, he said to Li Min: "Sir, can I take these samples away?"
"Of course. You can take it away. If you need anything, tell Di Renjie directly and I will tell him."
"Yes, sir. I'll take these samples back first."
"Okay, you can take it away," Li Min said.
Then Dai Zhou took the six samples back to Tai Chi Palace.
When he entered Tai Chi Palace, he directly found Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, I have gained a lot this time."
Dai Zhou said.
"Oh? What harvest?" Li Shimin asked doubtfully.
"There are six samples here, each representing a different craft. Take a look."
Li Shimin took a look at the sample and was immediately shocked.
"Can you introduce me?"
Li Shimin said.
"Of course. Your Majesty, please see, this is the first type."
Li Shimin looked at the first type.
Dai Zhou said: "The first type is called invisible ink. It is an ink hidden in the design pattern. It can be revealed under certain conditions. This is like a purple light shining on it, which can reveal the printed thing. You see, it is
No!"
Li Shimin took a look, and there was indeed a series of numbers coming out.
"Yes, what about the second one?"
He pointed to the second type and asked.
"The second method is to achieve anti-counterfeiting through the characteristics of paper! It uses special fibers and fluorescent particle additives to make paper. For example, this piece of paper will glow when placed in a dark place, can you see it?"
Dai Zhou put the paper in a dark place, and sure enough, a little fluorescence appeared.
"This...is indeed it!"
Li Shimin didn't know what to say.
I really didn’t expect that Li Min could do so many things.
"The third type, the Sixth Prince said, is silicone oil embossing! It can print a concave and convex feeling, just like a mark is printed on it. The Sixth Prince said that the convex silicone oil pattern can increase the touch of the product, making it very difficult to forge.
!”
"From what you said, it seems like this."
"The fourth type of laser engraving uses laser technology to directly engrave product information or patterns on packaging materials to increase the anti-counterfeiting effect. Because the ones burned with light are different from those printed, this technology is currently only available in Shengtang
The group has it!”
"There is also a fifth type, which is optically variable ink. The color of the ink will change under different viewing angles, which can be used to verify the authenticity of the product. This type is the kind of material I mentioned before. Your Majesty can take a look.
"
"Indeed, the colors seen under different lights are different. What is the last one?"
"The sixth type is magnetic materials. The authenticity of the product can be tested by adding magnetic materials. We can bring a magnet over and it will be attracted. Most people cannot do such a thing!"
"This is indeed amazing. I really didn't expect that that kid could do such a thing." Li Shimin said in shock.
They have never been exposed to these things. Let alone them, even in the future, there will be a lot of materials that the public will rarely have access to.
This is the power of technology.
It was also the technology tree lit up by Li Min.
Li Shimin asked at this time, "If we want them all, how much will it cost?"
If you want it all, it is indeed very difficult to forge.
So, who can forge it?
That's simply not possible.
When Li Shimin asked how much it cost.
Dai Zhou immediately said: "This, I'm afraid it will cost 10 taels a piece. If the number is one hundred thousand, it can be 5 taels a piece. If it is a million pieces, it will cost 1 tael a piece." Dai Zhou's words almost gave way.
Li Shimin was scared to death.
Because it's too high.
Even if it's one or two, it's still too high.
"Can it be cheaper?" Li Shimin asked.
"Your Majesty, this is based on quantity. The greater the quantity, the cheaper it is." Dai Zhou said this, and Li Shimin finally understood.
"Can we print one million copies?" Li Shimin asked instead.
"It depends on how much value we assign to the stock."
"What if one card gives ten thousand taels?"
"Your Majesty, not everyone can afford ten thousand taels. I think it is better to settle for one thousand taels!"
Ten thousand taels, how many people have it?
Li Shimin wants to give shares to others, which is equivalent to setting a threshold for others.
I can't buy it without ten thousand taels.
That's why Dai Zhou said it was one thousand taels.
A thousand taels seems reasonable.
If you set the price too high and no one buys it, it is a waste.
If you can order one hundred taels, that would be even better.
But that would only make the cost of the stock higher.
"One thousand taels, it takes one tael of silver to buy stock tickets. This seems okay." Li Shimin said this. If he could calculate it this way, it seemed reasonable.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have also made calculations. One thousand taels is just right, and any less will not work."
"Okay, you can talk to him again and see if you can get it cheaper?"
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this won't be easy to talk about, because Di Renjie is here to talk to us next. As you know, Di Renjie is such a person and is difficult to convince."
Dai Zhou said so.
Li Shimin didn't say anything else, because what he said was right. Ever since they started dealing with Di Renjie, they had been unable to get any benefit from him.
"Okay, look, if it's cheaper, that's the best. You can't just leave it like this. We have to do this quickly. Otherwise, we don't know when we will be able to make money." Li Shimin said.
.
"Yes, Your Majesty! Then I went to find Di Renjie."
