In a few days, Yang Hao has purchased more than 200 copies of "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" from Datang Study, and they are sold out every day.
Thanks to Wang Zhengsheng's storytelling, the popularity of this novel was something Du He never expected.
Yang Hao came to visit twice, asking Du He to find more craftsmen and speed up the printing process, but Du He refused both times.
These days, Du He's greatest pleasure every day is to go in and out of the furniture factory, holding a small notebook he made himself, looking around and taking notes.
Everyone in the furniture factory was wondering what Du He was doing.
When Lao Fu couldn't help but ask, Du He euphemistically called it "research," leaving everyone confused.
If it were someone else, he might be satisfied now that he has a revolving wooden chair and the best-selling novel "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". Although these two things cannot make a fortune every day, they allow Du He to earn thousands or even thousands of dollars a day.
Thousands of dollars is not a problem.
It's a pity that Du He is ambitious.
If a person has no ambition, he is no different from a salted fish.
His Majesty Li Er's ambition is to let the Tang Dynasty's cavalry fight in all directions and become an emperor praised by everyone.
Du He's ambition was not just to be a wealthy dandy. From the moment he established the furniture factory, he had an idea in his mind: to build a business empire in this strange era. This emperor would be even more powerful than Li.
Your Majesty's Tang Empire is even more vast...
The establishment of the furniture factory and the Tang Dynasty Study House was only the first step in a long march of thousands of miles.
Du He's research was looking for problems and making next steps.
After completing the research, he locked himself in his room all day and began to write and draw. Even Yang Hao came several times but could not see him in person.
…
It was just as the sun was setting in the west, and the soft afterglow shone on the ground, seeming to coat the rough stone slabs with a layer of gold, making it particularly charming.
Zhang Jian looked hurriedly, walking through alleys, and finally knocked on a door.
The door opened, and the boy who opened the door saw Zhang Jian and said hurriedly: "You're finally here, the young master is waiting for you!"
Zhang Jian nodded expressionlessly, walked into the gate, walked through the spacious yard, and in the backyard, from a distance, he saw Changsun Chong sitting on a revolving wooden chair.
He stepped forward and bowed deeply, "Master, I have got everything you asked for."
After Zhang Jian finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Changsun Chong with both hands in a respectful manner.
Changsun Chong took it over and looked at it, then suddenly threw it away, stood up, and snorted: "This Du He is really good at making money. My Changsun family is considered wealthy in Chang'an City and has many businesses, but there is nothing like it."
Can be compared to Du He, tsk tsk... With just this revolving wooden chair and "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", over time, wouldn't Du He's wealth surpass that of this young master or even the eldest grandson's family? No, Du He must not be allowed to be so arrogant.
Go down..."
Zhang Jian stood aside, cautious and did not dare to speak.
Last time he went to the furniture factory to make trouble on behalf of Chang Sun Chong, but he was harmed by those idiots Zhang Ergou. As a result, he was beaten up by Du He and his men. After he came back, he was scolded by Chang Sun Chong.
Fan, I have to be cautious in doing things during this period, for fear of making mistakes.
Changsun Chong walked around the yard a few times, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Master, I have a solution."
He came to Zhang Jian and asked: "Are you saying that according to the information you inquired about, Du He sold "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" for 100 yuan each, and the cost was less than 60 yuan. If we find someone to copy it,
The cost of each copy of this book is only about 50 yuan, are you sure?"
Zhang Jian nodded affirmatively: "Master, you are not wrong. This is the information I learned from inside the furniture factory at a great cost. It is said that the printing method used by Du He is fast, but the cost is relatively high.
"
"What a huge profit. Huh, it seems that Du He is crazy about making money, but I can't let him be so arrogant. Quickly get me dozens of literate people and bring them all here. From now on, I can't let him be so arrogant.
Starting tomorrow, I will copy this "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". The faster the better, hum. In ten days, I will give Du He a surprise! He sells 100 copies, and we will sell 70 copies. I want his book to be one
I can't even sell it!" Changsun Chong said confidently.
He added: "This time, I will kill you with one strike!"
Zhang Jian agreed and hurried to make arrangements.
Early the next morning, dozens of people came to the courtyard and began to copy "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties".
The days passed quickly, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Changsun Chong has had more than 200 copies of "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" copied, which naturally cost a lot of money.
According to his price of 70 Wen, he can probably earn about 3,000 Wen.
However, his purpose is not to make money, but to deal with Du He.
In the evening of that day, Du He was setting up a big pot in the yard and calling two cooks to stir-fry tea leaves. Suddenly Lu Bu hurried in.
"Master, someone just threw this thing in, but when I chased it out, the person had already left."
Lu Bu said, took out a rolled up paper and handed it to Du He.
The note was rolled into a thin cylinder and tied with a ribbon.
Du He opened it and saw a short sentence on it: Someone has copied the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties from Datang Study Room and prepared to sell it at the price of 70 copies.
Du He just glanced at it and threw the note into the firewood. As soon as the flames flickered, nothing was left.
He had a calm expression on his face and waved his hand, "Lu Bu, go down. If you have any news, come back and report it!"
After Lu Bu left, Du He's face showed a solemn expression.
A few blocks away from the Datang Furniture Factory, Zhang Jian looked back and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he leaned against the wall of a large house and gasped for air.
The back of his vest was soaked through.
It was him who sent the letter just now.
After resting for a moment, Zhang Jian said: "Du He, you once gave me 500 Wen to save my mother's life. Today, I, Zhang Jian, risked my life to deliver the news to you. From now on, we will owe nothing to each other. I, Zhang Jian,
As someone who is the eldest grandson, I naturally want to help him defeat you!"
With that said, Zhang Jian strode towards the distance. Behind him, night fell and it was already dark.
Early the next morning.
Changsun Chong then led his people to the door of Cuiwei Tower.
Today, he is determined to win.
However, as soon as he got off the carriage, Changsun Chong was stunned.
Because he saw Du He sitting at the gate of Cuiwei Building, with his legs crossed, looking comfortable. The shopkeeper of Cuiwei Building, Yang Hao, stood aside like a bitch, fanning Du He.
Changsun Chong walked over and said from a distance: "I didn't expect Du He to be so boring. You came to Cuiwei Tower to bask in the sun in the early morning. It would be better if you were there. I originally wanted to go to the Laiguo Duke's Mansion to inform you.
, It doesn’t seem necessary now, Du He, the Japanese master has prepared a huge surprise for you today, I hope you won’t be scared by the time."
