At this time, the shopkeeper really didn't dare to agree to Cui Zhiji's conditions right away, so he couldn't help but said to Cui Zhiji: "I'm sorry, sir, I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to ask my boss before I can give you a
Reply: How about this? You can wait until the next day to come back, or you can leave your address and I will send someone to inform you."
Cui Zhiji smiled slightly and said: "Shopkeeper, you can go to your boss for instructions now. I am waiting for you here."
The shopkeeper nodded and quickly went to find Changsun Wuji.
After Changsun Wuji heard this, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
If it was said that because of information asymmetry before, Changsun Wuji still had doubts in his heart.
Later, when these books were sent continuously, Changsun Wuji understood that he had been tricked by the emperor.
However, even if I knew I was being cheated, I would still do it.
How could Changsun Wuji not guess the emperor's thoughts?
However, now that Qi Wang of the Five Surnames has been provoked to take action, I wonder if the emperor has any backup plans. Is he really capable of overpowering all the major families?
Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji himself did not dare to take this idea.
After thinking for a long time, he asked the housekeeper to wait in the house. Changsun Wuji rushed to the palace in a sedan chair to ask for the emperor's instructions.
After Li Shimin learned the news, he couldn't help but have a calm smile on his face.
As expected, Zhen'er had guessed that these aristocratic families really did this.
So, Li Shimin confidently told Changsun Wuji: "Assistant machine, please raise the price to 500 cash per book. And the cost price I will give you will also be raised to 300 cash. You tell them,
As long as they have money, you can give them as many books as they want."
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, these aristocratic families have deep foundations. In terms of financial resources, it is really difficult for us to compete with them!"
Li Shimin couldn't help laughing and said: "Assistant machine, just don't worry, I won't fight an uncertain battle! You can earn two hundred coins for each book, and this time, you can earn some!"
Since the emperor insisted, Changsun Wuji didn't want to ask any more questions. After returning, he told the shopkeeper to directly raise the price to five hundred cents per copy, and then tell the visitor how much he wanted.
Not long after, the shopkeeper returned to the bookstore and informed Cui Zhiji of the situation.
After hearing this, Cui Zhiji pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, five hundred coins is five hundred coins, and the price is set! Your Tianyi Bookstore won't increase the price anymore, right?"
The shopkeeper immediately said happily: "No, no, sir, just don't worry. How can you go back on what you said?"
Cui Zhiji sneered and said: "Okay, just don't regret it! Shopkeeper, load all the books in your bookstore to me, and I will pay on the spot! From now on, please don't sell your books to me.
I will come here to buy takeaways every day, and I will take as much as you have!"
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly and ordered the boys to load all the books into the truck.
After Cui Zhiji paid, he took all the books away.
This time, although Tianyi Bookstore raised the price to 500 yuan without authorization.
But even the price of five hundred coins was not what their family wanted to see.
In their opinion, the cost of this book is more than 500 words, not to mention that it comes with annotations.
This kind of version has never been sold openly in bookstores before.
As Cui Zhiji came on behalf of several major families this time, he had certain autonomy.
This price is within his discretion.
After Cui Zhiji returned, he immediately informed other aristocratic families of the price, and the other aristocratic families had no objections.
…
After Changsun Wuji left, Li Shimin immediately informed Li Min of the news and ordered them to print the book with all their strength in the near future.
You know, the current profit from each book is 280 words.
And within the 280 cents, there is Li Shimin's 10% share, and he can get 28 cents.
Li Shimin also invested 5,000 yuan in advance, but now his small treasury is really working hard.
Li Shimin is now calculating how many copies he has to sell to get his money back.
Well, it actually sold a total of 178,000 books?
This, when will this be printed?
However, they actually print a lot of types.
After all, the Imperial Examination subjects of the Tang Dynasty included more than 50 subjects such as Xiucai, Mingjing, Jinshi, Junshi, Mingfa, Mingzi, Mingshu, etc., although some of them were not taken seriously.
The versions they currently print are only about a dozen of the more common books.
But Li Shimin feels that even those subjects that are not taken seriously can actually be printed!
Anyway, there are buyers now, so they don’t have to worry about selling. If they print more, they can make more money.
For these more than fifty subjects, at least fifty books can be printed. For subjects with many candidates, 30,000 to 50,000 sets will be printed for each subject.
For subjects with few candidates, at least 10,000 sets should be printed.
Well, if you think about it this way, after I get my capital back, I can still make a lot of money?
After doing this calculation, Li Shimin became even more concerned.
After all, he has been really scared of poverty recently...
After Li Min received the news from Li Shimin, he immediately realized that the fish had bitten the hook.
Well, now, they are speeding up the printing of books. At their current speed, they can print about 1,500 books every day.
After getting the news, Li Min immediately decided to work two shifts.
People can rest, but machines cannot.
Next, Li Min transferred more people from Cheng Chuliang's family and paid them three times their wages every day.
It made those workers extremely happy, and they worked hard without any effort.
In this way, they can print three thousand books a day.
When Cui Zhiji came to pick up the books the next day, when he was told that there were three thousand books in one day, Cui Zhiji was stunned for a moment, but then a sneer flashed across his lips.
What a great courage. Three thousand copies were sent out in one day.
Do they want our family to retreat in the face of difficulties?
snort!
Do they think that the aristocratic family is too simple?
Not to mention that there are only three thousand books a day, so what if it is thirty thousand books?
This little money is just a drop in the bucket for the aristocratic family.
So Cui Zhiji waved his hand, paid directly, picked up the book and left.
As for these books, of course they are divided equally among several companies.
For ten consecutive days, every day, the men sent by Cui Zhiji were able to take away three thousand books.
At this time, people from the aristocratic family, represented by Cui Zhiji, were still sneering.
You lose so much every day, let’s see how long you can hold on.
As everyone knows, Li Shimin had just received his first share of the profit and was very dissatisfied with the speed of their printing.
How did you do it? Why do you only print so many copies every day?
