Datang Storyteller: Uncovering the Secret of Xuanwu Gate, Li Er was stunned

"What?"

Qin Yu was a little confused when he heard Cui Ren's answer.

Can there be such a good thing in the world?
They paid for the printing themselves and gave him [-]% of the profits. Are these people okay?

What can such a loss-making business family do?
"Yes, you heard it right, we will share [-]% of the profit with you, and you don't need to pay any fees."

Seeing that Qin Yu couldn't believe it, Cui Ren said with a smile.

Others also nodded, indicating that there is no problem with such a division method.

"Tell me, what other conditions do you have?"

Qin Yu doesn't believe that there is a free lunch in the world. At this time, he seems to be taking advantage of it, but it's hard to say whether this is the case now.

Who knew where they might be waiting for him.

"There are no conditions. We just want to continue to cooperate with Mr. Qin."

Continued cooperation?

Qin Yu understood. To put it bluntly, it was the right to print and produce the next book.

Qin Yu nodded, "It's not impossible to cooperate with you, but with your current technology, even if you have the right to print my next storybook, you can't make money."

"why?"

Cui Ren was puzzled.

The cost is indeed a bit high, but it's not like there's no profit at all. After all, outside of Chang'an City, those who don't have a script to listen to are definitely more willing to buy it than people in Chang'an City.

They don't think they can't make money.

"Because your engraving is too backward, and the speed can't keep up."

Qin Yu said directly, then raised his eyebrows and looked at Cui Ren, "Do you still remember the movable type printing I mentioned when I talked about the four great inventions last time?"

Cui Ren nodded.

After listening to it last time, he has already arranged for people to make it, but so far there is no obvious result.

"Since you want to cooperate with me, then I won't take advantage of you, we will share fifty-fifty, and I will help you develop movable type printing."

In this way, he is not taking advantage of the aristocratic family, and Cui Ren and the others are not at a disadvantage.

"Sir, are you really willing to help us?"

Cui Ren was very excited.

"If this is the case, we are willing to split the bill with Mr. [-]."

Cui Ren knew the value of movable type printing better than anyone else. With this movable type printing, they would not only save money but also labor, and the time to print a book would be greatly reduced.

For them, mastering a mature printing technology is far more enjoyable than earning a small fortune.

A golden egg and a chicken that can lay golden eggs, as long as you are not a fool, you will know how to choose.

"Don't need thirty-seven, just five-to-five."

"By the way, did you get the paper you mentioned last time?"

Qin Yu rejected Cui Ren's proposal. He likes money, but he also knows that if he wants to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship, he must not be greedy.

Only by grasping the boundaries can we go far.

Cui Ren shook his head, "I'm ashamed to say that we didn't manufacture the kind of toilet paper that Mr. Qin mentioned."

Qin Yu nodded, "It doesn't matter if it's not made, I'll help you make it together."

Printing is all given, and it doesn't matter if you give papermaking.

Anyway, he has a share of the money in the end.

For the development of the Tang Dynasty, these aristocratic families are indispensable.

Instead of getting rid of them, use them for yourself.

Well known.

The aristocratic family controls talents, economy, food, and many minerals.

These resources in their hands may be a threat to Li Shimin, making them sleepless all night, but their existence is also part of Datang's strength.

Of course, the most critical reason is that Li Shimin's current strength is not strong enough. Fighting against the aristocratic family will only increase internal friction. Even if he wins in the end, he will hurt the enemy a thousand and himself.

Not cost-effective.

So what Qin Yu has to do is to win over the aristocratic family and make them work for him.

"In that case, I would like to thank Mr. Qin."

Qin Yu waved his hand, "You're welcome."

After speaking, Qin Yu continued to suggest, "Qin has a suggestion."

"I wonder if you are interested in listening to it?"

Cui Ren and the heads of several other aristocratic families all looked delighted, "Mr. Qin, please tell me."

Qin Yu's suggestion is definitely good and can make money. After listening to Qin Yu's suggestions several times earlier, the family's business is booming now.

And it has a certain place in the hearts of the people.

To put it simply, Qin Yu's suggestion not only made them money, but also won the respect of the common people.

"Qin knows that everyone's main goal is Qin's next story, but if you wait until the book is finished and then print the book, it will cause no money in the middle of the time, and the end of the story will also be indirect. Lost a group of customers."

"Qin's suggestion is that you can create a Chang'an Entertainment Daily, and use the fastest speed to disseminate the latest information every day. The price is not high, and it costs two cents a piece. Anyone can afford it."

"Chang'an Entertainment Daily? What is this?"

After Cui Ren and the others listened, they immediately became interested.

"Just use a piece of paper to write the latest daily news and things that the people are most concerned about, and make a copy every day until it is sold out."

"This is a good method. At least in terms of cost, it saves a lot compared to printing books." After Cui Ren finished speaking, he frowned again, with a puzzled expression on his face, "But this is not the same as the next script of Mr. What does the story have to do with it?"

Qin Yu smiled, "It's so simple, just create a section in the newspaper dedicated to the storybook, and then I will reveal to you some key words of the next content in advance every day, and then you will share the previous chapters. One day what I said was printed, those who have read it can recall it again, and those who have not read it can be regarded as indirectly increasing some customers."

This will not only increase the sales of the newspaper, but also improve the publicity of Qin Yu's storybook.

Attract more people to Tinghuaben.

Kill two birds with one stone.

If Cui Ren and the others didn't understand Qin Yu's intentions at the beginning, then at this moment, he has completely understood.

To put it bluntly, this newspaper is to make money by using the scripted news that Mr. Qin said.

Businessmen are talking about business, and their main purpose is to make money. Qin Yu's proposal is undoubtedly a good way for them.

It doesn't matter that a newspaper costs two pennies, but when the price is low, the quantity will increase.

The same income is guaranteed every day, and it will be a lot of money in the long run.

The key is that Qin Yu's proposal once again opened up a new way of thinking for them.

In the beginning, they all followed the traditional model. In addition to selling brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, the bookstore only had books and story books.

And because of the cost of printing, it is often necessary to find labor and copy by hand.

Everyone is busy unless there are books to be printed. On weekdays, they have to support a group of idlers.

Qin Yu's proposal directly helped them solve this problem. There are things to do every day, so how could there be more idlers?
"It's just Mr. Qin, besides printing your script, what else can be printed on this newspaper?"
