Chapter 711 Abacus can also be a luxury item (Part [-])
What Li Tai didn't expect was that Gao Ping not only pushed the abacus to the market.Various calculations were also made.There are grotesque ones, small and exquisite ones, and expensive ones.
As the abacus was popularized in schools, it gradually became known to the people of Youzhou.Therefore, abacus has become a tight commodity in Youzhou.All merchants are almost one in each hand.
For practicality, of course, buy that kind of ordinary abacus.For the sake of novelty, naturally buy those odd-shaped ones.There are also those who are of extraordinary status. Of course, those who buy are expensive and majestic.
Since this abacus is going to sell well, publicity and promotion are unavoidable.And there is no better advertisement than practice.Therefore, all the shops belonging to 33 Chongtian began to use abacus to settle their accounts.
And Li Tai also paid a part of tribute to Li Shimin, but it was not Li Tai who personally sent it to Chang'an.Instead, it was sent to Mozhou City by train, and then Sun Chong, the chief governor of Mozhou, sent it to Li Shimin.
……
"Why do you husband and wife have time to see your father and this palace?" Changsun Wugou looked at Changsun Chong and Li Li and asked with a smile.
"Isn't it okay for me to miss my mother and father? I have to come to see you if I have something to do." Li Lizhi pouted her mouth and said coquettishly to her eldest grandson Wugou.
"Big bags and small ones brought so many things, what are they? Show me." Li Shimin asked curiously when he saw the big boxes brought by Chang Sun Chong.
"Father, this is sent by the emperor to the father. It is said that it can help the household department to calculate better." Chang Sun Chong handed Li Tai's abacus to Li Shimin, and then said.
The abacus Li Shimin held in his hand was not an ordinary abacus, but a gold and jade abacus that Gao Ping personally made for Li Shimin.
The skeleton of the abacus is all made of gold, and the beads used for the abacus are all emeralds.And each abacus bead is carved with a five-clawed golden dragon, and the abacus skeleton is also carved with a dragon and a phoenix.
It can be said that this abacus is absolutely priceless, and Li Shimin couldn't help but love it in his hands.Although Li Shimin didn't know the usefulness of this abacus, but just from the workmanship alone, it was worthy of Li Shimin's liking.
"The workmanship of this thing is very fine, but I'm afraid it's a bit too expensive. Is it a little overkill to use them to settle accounts?" Li Shimin asked Chang Sun Chong.
"Father doesn't know. Among the batch of abacus sent by the emperor, there is only this one golden abacus. It was specially prepared by the emperor for the emperor. The other abacus are all wooden abacus, and there is also an instruction manual for the abacus. "Chang Sunchong said to Li Shimin.
Hearing that there is an instruction manual for this abacus, Li Shimin said to Zhang Sunchong: "I just don't know how to use this thing. Since there is an instruction manual, let me show it to you."
The manual describes in detail how to use the abacus.As well as the formulas used, they are addition and subtraction, and the nine chapters of algorithm comparison.And the multiplication and division of multiplication and division.
After Li Shimin had seen it, he couldn't help fiddling with the abacus in his hand.With the crisp sound of the impact of the abacus beads, Li Shimin fiddled with it endlessly.
After a long time, Li Shimin opened his mouth and said to his eldest grandson Wugou: "Your son's head, I really don't know how it grows. You can actually tinker with such a miraculous thing. With it and the flying bear's calculation, calculation may no longer be possible. What's wrong."
"Father, now this abacus is not only in Father's hands, but also sold in 33 Chongtian. And the price is only a dozen yuan." Changsun Chong said to Li Shimin.
"When did your elder brother ever do a loss-making business? He gave me these abacus in order to let me advertise him. I'm afraid the abacus in 33 Chongtian is definitely not just the one with a few dozen coins?" Li Shimin asked Chang Sun Chong with a smile.
"Father, the manufacturing process of this abacus is very simple. I'm afraid it won't be long before everyone in the world can make it by themselves. How can the emperor get so much profit from it?" Chang Sun Chong said to Li Shimin with a smile.
"Ordinary abacus is of course very easy to make, but like this abacus in my hand, I am afraid that there are not many skilled craftsmen in the world except his Momen Gao family who can make it." Li Shimin said with a smile.
Li Shimin knew Li Tai too well, he knew that Li Tai would definitely not just make ordinary abacus for sale.Because, as Chang Sun Chong said, the way the abacus is made is too simple.So there is no monopoly effect at all.
Therefore, Li Tai will definitely put business opportunities elsewhere.That's what these luxury calculations are about.The materials made of these abacus are either gold or jade, and they are definitely not something that ordinary people can buy.
This is also Li Tai's standard for doing business all the time, that is to make money from the rich.Because only a rich person can make him richer.
"Father is really good at predicting things. Brother Huang really launched the sky-high price abacus on the 33rd day. And according to the propaganda, this abacus is unique in the world. There will never be a second one."
"However, the price is a bit ridiculously high. The most expensive one is thousands of taels of silver, and if you want to achieve a better collection value, you must buy it as a set." Changsun Chong said to Li Shimin with a smile.
"You said buying a complete set, what's the situation?" Li Tai asked Chang Sun Chong in confusion.
"Brother Huang launched the abacus of heavenly stems. According to A, B, C, D, Wu, Geng, Xin, Rengui, ten heavenly stems were used to make ten abacus. What is the abacus of the twelve zodiac signs, what is the abacus of heaven, earth and man."
"There are Yin-Yang Abacus, Five Elements Abacus, and many other names. But one thing is the same, that is, all abacus are unique. And they also have the special imprint of Momen." Changsun Chong said to Li Shimin.
"This kid is going to make a fortune out of this again. I'm really worried that one day, all the money in the world will be taken to the country of Yan by him." Li Shimin said with a sigh.
"Father, as far as my son knows, the 33rd day has [-]% of the profit of the father. So while the income of the emperor's brother is full, the income of the father will definitely not be less." At this time, the eldest grandson He rushed to Li Lizhi who was beside him, and said to Li Shimin with a smile.
"Stop messing around with me there, I think you're putting your ideas on me. But I can tell you directly that all my money is of great use, and I don't have any idle money for you." Li Shimin looked at Li Lizhi and said .
"When did the father learn to be as stingy as the emperor's brother? You are the king of a country. You must not learn those bad habits from the emperor's brother, or you will be ridiculed by the world." Li Lizhi said to Li Shimin playfully.
Li Lizhi's words made the eldest grandson Wugou beside him laugh so much.So he smiled and said to Li Shimin: "This precious daughter of yours is as eloquent as his brother. It seems that if you take out some money, I'm afraid your ears will never be quiet."
"Few well-educated princesses, look what you have been taught by that kid Li Tai. Remember, don't let him take Xincheng away again. Otherwise, my princess of the Tang Dynasty will have no One is not the unruly princess." Li Shimin said to his eldest grandson Wugou with a sigh.
"Father, Brother Huang still has a letter that I have to give to Huang personally." Eldest Sun Chong took out Li Tai's letter from his pocket and handed it to Li Shimin.
