The first thousand two hundred and fifty-six chapters of the big business(1/2)
The situation of the store was reported to Huang Chong, and he was not worried that his books would not be sold at all.
The clever Huang Chong immediately thought of a trick.
The next day, some people came to the store to watch this rare treasure.
Especially those poor scholars, sometimes they read books like others borrowed books, and this is the first time they have seen books made of paper. Scholars like books originally like books and want to know the contents. Especially the set of "Analects of Confucius", which adds up to a few thin books, is really too precious.
These scholars are pretty good at home, at least they are a little better than ordinary people.
Everyone watched and paid a sky-high price of twenty gold yesterday, which resulted in no one buying it. They all wanted to know if these books would be sold at a lower price.
They just want to wait and see.
Some scholars wanted the shopkeepers to open the books and read them. This resonated with many people, and the scene instantly started to stir up.
The shopkeepers under Huang Chong are well aware of the importance of mystery and will not open it at all. If you want to read a book, just pay. As long as you buy it, the content in this book will be as you like. You can handle your own things anyway. Don’t worry about the wrong version. On the ground of the big man, Huang Chong’s credit is the best.
The mystery makes the readers feel uncomfortable as if they are tickling their paws.
Just as a large group of scholars gathered, a fat man pretending to be very rich came outside the store.
"You guys, please move your steps next time." The fat man said with a smile.
Everyone looked at it, but after a closer look, they did not dare to speak out.
This fat man is a famous character in Luoyang, and he is a relative of the Dian Wei family. Dian Kuan Dian is happy. In other words, this fat man is still Dian Wei's grandson, so he must be called Dian Wei as his uncle.
Dian Wei's family is almost all of the same gene. They are big and thick, or they are big fat people, which is very easy to recognize. For example, Dian Wei's sons are all printed on the same mold as Dian Wei.
The men of the Dianwei family are all warlike, but they just came up with the alternative type of Diankuan. Diankuan has grown tall since childhood, but he has a quiet personality and is not good at martial arts. He likes to read and write the most, and practices good calligraphy and literary skills.
Because of his quiet personality, it seems very different among a man from the Dian family with an irritable personality.
Dian Wei was also worried about his unworthy nephew. Dian Wei was born in the army, so he naturally hoped that the descendants of the Dian family would join the army. However, Dian Kuan was not interested in martial arts at all, and he would sweat all over when he was moved. Martial arts were not good, but fortunately, his literary talent was still OK.
Dian Wei thought about waiting for an opportunity to recommend Dian Kuan, so that he would not avoid relatives when he was selected.
Dian Kuan is fat and has a likable appearance, and is often bullied by some green-skinned hooligans. However, in the end, the fate of these green-skinned hooligans is very sad. They are all hung up and beaten to death by men from the Dian family.
Almost all scholars in Luoyang know Dianhu, and because of the reputation of the Dian family, they dare not offend Diankuan. Besides, Diankuan is actually a good person.
Everyone present gave way to Dian Kuan, who kept thanking him and was considerate.
When the shopkeeper saw that it was Dianhu, he hurriedly trotted over, nodded and said, "Young Master Dian, why are you here? Come on, serve tea! Come on the best tea."
Diankuan likes calligraphy, and is a luxury shop in this shop. As a shopkeeper, he cannot offend such a person.
Dian Kuan said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Lou, you don't have to be polite. I heard that you have a unique book here, so I came here. I wonder if Storekeeper Lou can let you look at it next?"
"This... Master Dian, this book is a rare item, expensive, and there are any mistakes. The young one cannot explain it to the boss." Manager Lou said apologetically. "However, Master Dian is a famous person. The young one risked being scolded by the boss and took the initiative to give Mr. Dian a look!"
I couldn't sell one of them until now, so Manager Lou was also anxious. Now someone came over and he had to take the risk. Manager Lou respectfully handed a book [Zuo Zhuan] to Dian Kuan.
Everyone else was watching, they wanted to be treated like this, but unfortunately the saying that people were more aggravated was true.
Dian Kuan took it with great care and carefully opened the book pages.
After reading a few pages, Dian Kuan said sincerely: "This thing is really rare. I wonder how much it costs?"
"Young Master Dian knows the goods. This book is very precious. Now it is less than 200 books. Each book costs twenty gold." Manager Lou smiled with his eyes. It seemed that this Haoke was going to buy it.
When Dian Kuan heard this, his brows frowned. It seemed that the twenty golds were a huge expense for him.
One of the people watching around said, "Young Master Dian, this book is really too expensive and is not worth twenty gold."
"Yes! Young Master Dian should not be fooled." Everyone else echoed.
Manager Lou was very anxious, but there was no change in his voice and color. At the same time, Manager Lou also hated these scholars to death. He finally had a financial backer. If you were disturbed, he would not be angry to death.
"Twenty gold is not expensive! I want it!" Dian Kuan said without thinking.
"Ah!!" Everyone around was amazed.
Manager Lou smiled and said, "Young Master Dian really knows the goods. This book [Zuo Zhuan] is yours. Come on, pack it for Youth."
Dian Kuan bowed and said, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Lou, you will go to the mansion where you are in the lower house."
Manager Lou naturally believed in Dian Kuan. After all, no one would pass the market with twenty gold coins. Manager Lou would not doubt Dian Kuan’s debt. The Dian family was a little bit arrogant, but they were all reasonable and had never heard of debt.
Manager Lou thoughtfully packed Zuo Zhuan with the best cloth.
After Dian Kuan got it, he was ready to leave.
Manager Lou laughed and said that the first deal was sold.
The onlookers hurriedly followed Dian Kuan. Some scholars who knew Dian Kuan rushed to Dian Kuan and said, "Young Master Dian, why are you doing this? A book [Zuo Zhuan] costs twenty gold, which is really too expensive. I would like to advise you to go back and return the goods."
"Yes! Mr. Dian, you were fooled." Everyone around was persuading Dian Kuan.
Dian Kuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone. This book should be worth the price. I have always liked reading, so how can such a rare thing be included in my pocket?"
Everyone cursed in their hearts: You are rich and willful, and you have raised the market price!
Dian Kuan didn't talk much to everyone, and then bowed and left.
Everyone can only say that Dian Kuan is stupid and has a lot of money.
A scholar suddenly woke up and clapped his hands and said, "I understand why Dian Zhengxi wanted to buy this book."
"Does Brother Nian know the profound meaning?" asked a scholar.
The rest of the scholars raised their ears and listened carefully.
"I heard that Lord Chen, the Grand Secretary, is about to have a birthday near recently. Dian Zhengxi is now white. Maybe he wants to use this as a resource for his success!" said the scholar who was speaking just now.
The others understood in an instant.
It turns out that there is such a deep meaning. Dian Kuan looks honest and honest. He didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns in his heart, and he would not be a son of humanity.
If you can win the favor of the Grand Minister's Republic, the effort of this twenty gold is worth it.
But they couldn't bring out so much gold, so they could only watch others rise up because of this.
No matter how unwilling they were in their hearts, they had to accept their fate.
But it also means that it is a bit expensive to use such expensive books by yourself. But if you use them as a gift, it would be a real gift.
This news soon spread around Luoyang City.
All the dignitaries, wealthy merchants and wealthy families were instantly surprised.
In the Shenwu court, officials all paid attention to strength. Unless they had extraordinary talents and could learn by themselves, the rest needed a good teacher. And in today's world, there were only a few great scholars who could become good teachers.
For example, Lu Zhi, a teacher in the aristocratic school of the Shenwu court, is a complete great scholar. He has many talents under his command. Even his unprofitable disciple Liu Bei is now in power.
These great scholars do not like gold, silver, treasures, wine and sex, but like to read, write and play with a noble character.
If you give these books as a gift, wouldn’t it give your children a chance to learn? Even if your children are not so outstanding and cannot be formal disciples, it is OK to be a registered disciple for the sake of these precious books.
If you become a disciple of the Great Confucian scholar, your entire future will become different. The Great Confucian scholars are all talented, and most of them will be officials in the future. With this level of relationship, how can they take care of each other less? As long as your children work harder, even if they cannot become ministers in the court, they will be able to become local officials in Mushou in the future.
Compared with the future of children, what is a mere twenty gold?
Even if there are too many people who give it to the great scholars, it doesn’t matter. If you stay it yourself and use it as a gift in the future. If anyone takes out twenty gold books as a gift, the person who receives the gift will definitely be very happy.
Many aristocratic families started to mobilize, and their purpose was to buy such good books before others. They originally thought it was a little expensive, but after finally discovering the interests, they started to take action.
However, it was not what people like them thought of. Some relatively wealthy big players were even more quick to move.
In a short period of time, all the shops under Huang Chong were filled with people who bought precious books. One of them was very generous, and twenty gold frowned at all.
Some people are worried that they can't buy it, so they bring cash directly to them just to pay the money and the book.
The shopkeepers under Huang Chong all laughed at each other and collected money for books.
Five hundred high-end books were sold out like this.
One book with twenty gold, five hundred books adds up to one hundred thousand gold.
This is an astronomical figure.
Those who didn't buy it were very upset, and they missed the opportunity. The people who bought it were happy, and these things will definitely be of great use in the future.
All the shopkeepers admire their boss very much. They can sell books worth twenty gold. They are indeed the richest businessman in the world. Such money-making ability is really terrifying.
Huang Chong, who was praised by his subordinates, was drinking tea with a big fat man. That's right, this fat man is Dian Kuan.
Huang Chong is already very good at doing business. Knowing that such expensive books are not sold, the consequences will definitely be very serious. If you want to sell goods, you need a very important role, that is, drag.
Those who sell wine have wine holders, those who sell shoes have shoe holders, and those who sell cloth have boutiques, and Diankuan is the book holder.
"Young Master Dian, thank you very much for your help." Huang Chong picked up the teacup and drank Dian Kuan.
Dian Kuan said modestly: "It is an honor to be able to help the Marquis."
"How dare you? If Mr. Dian hadn't been famous, I would not have been able to sell these books to you." Huang Chong said.
Dian Kuan took a sip of tea and said calmly: "The Marquis is still good and can get these books. If I weren't cash-strapped, I'd probably have bought a few books."
"This fat man is really greedy. He asks for a few books as soon as he opens his mouth! Fortunately, these books can be made, otherwise I wouldn't know where to give him a few books." Huang Chong kept complaining in his heart.
Dian Kuan didn't know what Huang Chong complained about. To be honest, Dian Kuan is really a light book. He is a person who likes to read. It is so heavy that it is very difficult to hold it. This kind of light book made him unable to put it down.
Huang Chong thought for a while and said, "If Mr. Dian likes these books, please stay for a few days. This marquis will find a few more books and give them to Mr. Dian. How about it?"
