Chapter 467: Is that a serious publication "Jiangnan Business Daily" (Fifth update)
Gao Zhang was amazed when he saw it. There were both standard official ships of the Song Dynasty and small boats. Of course, there were also models of Boshi and Dashi ships of that era.
Those things must be small gifts given to Tan Tiju by those maritime merchants.
Otherwise, why are many ship models looking like pipits?
Gao Zhang was strolling there, and over there, Tan Zhen looked at the contents in the planning book and was deeply immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.
I never thought that business could be done like that.
Or not, using the power of the government to manage things would not be too flattering to those merchants?
With this thought in his mind, Tan Zhen felt that he could only make money and make a lot of money.
Gaining the appreciation of the officials, even if some official power is used to do it, is still considered a success.
When Tan Zhen couldn't hold back his doubts, he began to ask Gao Zhang about the things in the plan that he didn't know were popular.
Gao Zhang began to patiently explain to him, such as how to promote the Hangzhou International Commodity Expo.
Gao Zhang's method seemed so original, so he distributed brochures to the foreign merchants who came to Hangzhou.
And it is very necessary to prepare some special products that other shipping companies do not have. The key point is whether these products can attract the attention of those foreign shipping companies.
"For example, cotton, there are many headscarves that rich women like, as well as soft and comfortable clothes, shoes... The most popular ones are desk clocks, and those glass products..."
Gao Zhang stretched his fingers there and carefully counted the special foreign trade products belonging to Kaifeng Metal Workshop and its cooperative merchants.
Gao Zhang didn't just keep talking, he asked Na Fu'an and others to move in a few boxes and take out the special products for Tan Tiju to appreciate.
The most precious thing there is no other treasure, but the glass mirror.
Even though every small mirror is about the size of a palm, and specially made to look like a pocket watch, it can be worn on the body.
In this way, it is very suitable for beautiful women to take out the mirror to take selfies and touch up their makeup.
Tan Tiju stared blankly at those things, cotton and the like, but he didn't care.
What he cared about most was naturally the small palm-sized mirror. He had never seen such a thing in the palace before.
I have also heard that Gao Zhang dedicated it to the official family. It is said that it is very expensive to sell in Bianliang, Tokyo.
Unexpectedly, Gao Zhang actually used this item to do business with those barbarian merchants.
For such a gadget, I'm afraid those barbarian merchants wouldn't be able to exchange it for more than a few bucks if they loaded a ship full of goods.
"Gao Xuanfu, we really didn't expect that you would even take out those things..."
"Then it's very easy to let Tan Ti recommend me to make achievements as soon as possible. After all, we have shared the joys and sorrows and work together quite harmoniously..."
Looking at the champion, and then looking at the product samples there, there are many things there that can probably arouse the strong desire of those barbarian maritime merchants to buy.
"Can we wait for those barbarian merchants who arrive at our door to advertise for us? That would be too slow."
"Our family is even worried that after seeing those treasures, those barbarian merchants will be eager to block the port of Hangzhou to prevent others from coming."
Regarding Tan Tiju's worries, Gao Zhang smiled easily, picked up a very exquisite glass mirror the size of a pocket watch, and handed it to Tan Zhen's lap.
"Since Tan Tiju likes it, just take it. Anyway, there are several pieces of that kind of sample."
At that moment, Tan Zhen was so shocked by Gao Zhang's outrageous aura that he was stunned for several breaths, and held it tightly in his legs with pleasure.
Bu Nao was afraid that he would accidentally break the glass mirror that could illuminate his feminine face so clearly, so he couldn't wait to tie the chain to his belt before relaxing a little.
Gao Zhang was too embarrassed to continue admiring the rustic look of Tan Tiju, who had seen the world, so he continued to speak.
"If you want to spread the news that we are hosting the International Commodity Expo in Hangzhou as soon as possible, there is nothing we can do."
For example, send the brochure directly to other shipping companies and distribute it directly locally.
If I do this, I'm afraid it will offend the shipping companies. After all, I am purely trying to steal business from their territory.
According to the style of the association, it will definitely lead to fierce armed conflicts.
Even if it is not official, it will definitely cause some unnecessary trouble.
"Then according to Gao Xuanfu's opinion, what should we do?"
Tan Zhen, who was so impressed by Gao Zhang's brains, now asked Gao Zhang with a flattering look on his face.
Gao Zhang looked at Tan Zhen and showed a very friendly and kind smile.
"There is a very good way, that is, if the shipping company has a column advertisement in "Jiangnan Business Daily" for two consecutive months."
While shutting up, Gao Zhang took out a copy of "Jiangnan Business Daily" from his sleeve and handed it to Tan Zhen.
#####
"Jiangnan Business News, is that a tabloid? I mean, please publish the news about the Hangzhou International Commodity Expo here?"
When Tan Zhen mentioned the title from the tabloid, a look of disgust could not help but appear on his face.
Tabloids, from a literal meaning, are about catching people's attention privately, or fabricating eye-catching private tabloids based on some so-called "outside information".
It was not very common in the Song Dynasty. After all, the development of engraving technology and the rise in literacy rate in the Song Dynasty gave tabloids a market.
The content published by the tabloids that I am asking for is all kinds of weird, and some pages cover some government decisions. There are even some official memorials on government affairs, etc.
For example, during that period, the commercial taxes outside Bianliang City were increased, or the number of forbidden troops was increased compared to previous years, etc.
Most of the contents published by tabloids are specious, and even many of them cannot withstand scrutiny.
In short, the appearance is diverse, and it even affects social stability to a certain extent. If the government is wrong about this thing, it is not a disdainful attitude, and it has even been cleaned up.
As a matter of fact, many tabloids have people behind them, and they can be said to be repeatedly banned.
Now Gao Zhang actually brought out a tabloid like that. Compared with those tabloids, the newspaper handed over by Gao Xuanfu had an eye-catching title, so it was no match for the four "Jiangnan Business News"
Large characters.
"It is indeed a tabloid, just that tabloid. It is not the unscrupulous tabloid I think it is."
"That tabloid contains all kinds of business information about the Song Dynasty. It contains special publications about the demand for products from various places. The specific customers it targets are businessmen..."
