Datang: In order to be a salted fish, I decided to look forward to my father Jackie Chan

Chapter 83 Selling Honeycomb Coal
The people sitting in the lobby are less interested, because they know how much they have, so they must not be able to compete!Now it's purely for fun!

Zhou Guanshi continued to talk to himself on the stage, "I don't think any buyer wants me to open the box, right?"

A doubtful voice sounded from the second floor, "We don't doubt the authenticity of the thing, but Lao Zhou, we still have doubts. This printed book is the pillar industry of your Xinyi Commercial Bank, so it's really put up for auction?"

"Hehe, distinguished guests from the private room upstairs, today's auction is not limited to this set of printing tools, this is a one-hundred-set auction!"

"Wow!"

"Is Xinyi Commercial Bank dying?"

"Is this something difficult? I don't want my family money anymore?"

The voice from upstairs sounded dissatisfied again, "Old Zhou, your answer is just avoiding the important point!"

"Hehe, honored guest, as I have already said, this is an auction of printing tools, and the tools are sold to you, but you can buy some necessities in the future from our Xinyi Trading Company!"

Dissatisfied voices continued to ring out on the second floor, "Sell everything, and still pinch other people's necks? Then what are you buying for?"

"If there are a lot of things that are needed in the future, they are very expensive, so what a fool! Just don't buy them!"

"Yes, why don't you guys stop taking pictures of this thing, you're really fooling us for fools!"

This is because these people knew that the emperor Li Shimin was also sitting in the private room, so they restrained themselves, otherwise, they would have scolded even worse words!
Manager Zhou remained calm, with a kind face, "Everyone, Xinyi Commercial Bank relies on the word "Xinyi" to do business! After a distinguished customer takes an auction, he needs to sign a contract with us. It's one hundred per cent!"

Before Zhou Guanshi finished speaking, the scolding continued, "One hundred guan, why don't you grab it!"

"This is cannibalism without spitting out the bones! Cracking the bones and sucking the marrow!"

"Everyone, don't get excited, listen to me!"

"This one can print a book of normal paper size, with a total of [-] pages!"

"That is to say, seven or eight thousand books can be printed!"

With such an explanation, the excitement in the audience eased a bit, and people secretly calculated that if one volume sold consistently, they would still make a lot of money!
Moreover, whoever in the big family didn't order private goods, those books were sold after printing, but they were not at the usual price!
"Moreover, any worker can operate alone after two or three days of practice, and can print hundreds of copies a day!"

At this time, Wang Xiang was in no mood to continue listening, he was silently counting his pockets!

One hundred sets!One hundred copies a day, what a temptation, and he also has a strong rival, Zheng Cheng of the Zheng family in Xingyang.

Although Zheng Cheng is not very good, but their family has been in the paper business for decades, the cost can be further reduced, and the profit margin is higher, then their Zheng family will definitely bid desperately!
"One hundred sets of tools for printing books, the starting price is one thousand guan! Please bid!"

As soon as Guanshi Zhou's words fell, the voice of inquiry from the private room on the second floor sounded again, "Who do you look down on for this little money? I, Xingyang Zheng's, came to raise the price for you, and the Xingyang Zheng's offered [-] guan!"

Grass, donkey day!
If you don't understand auctions, will you bid!
Wang Xiang, Cui and other people with five surnames and Qiwang cursed in their hearts!
Isn't this harming others and yourself?

The bidding price of [-] yuan directly frightened the onlookers in the lobby on the first floor. All of my wealth is not as high as the first bid.

Manager Zhou's face flushed, finally there was a big fish!

"[-] guan, there are distinguished guests in the private room on the second floor who bid [-] guan, everyone, please continue to bid, print [-] copies a day, and you can get your money back in a few days!"

Sure enough, Guanshi Zhou's nonsense was really irritating.

Printing [-] copies a day with [-] sets is just an ideal formula. When it is actually done, there must be a little error!

"Twelve thousand guan!"

"Fifteen thousand!"

After Zheng Cheng raised the price suddenly, there was no competition for the time being.

There is an old servant teaching him a lesson!
"Master, that's not how the price is set. It's too high. It's us who lose money, and only Xinyi Trading Company is the one who laughs!"

"Uncle Zheng, I know, but don't be afraid, we have money! To avoid the trouble of adding little by little, just raise the price and get a lot of people with illusions!"

The old servant listened to the bids from the nearby private room with one ear, and muttered, "I'm afraid it won't be so easy to win. The Cui family and the Wang family haven't made any bids yet!"

Zheng Cheng looked relaxed, and took a sip of white wine, "Let them play, we will bid at the highest price! This printing technology must be in hand. Xingyang's family has been studying it for several months, and there is still no clue. Just shoot it. This hundred sets of tools will definitely give some inspiration to the craftsmen at home!"

"He, Li Xiao, still wants to take advantage of our Zheng family in Xingyang, dreaming!"

In the private room, Li Shimin and others are cooking a hot pot, eating boiled mutton, warming their bodies with a little wine!

They did know that Li Xiao had hidden skills in movable type printing, and that they were only selling finished products. If they wanted consumables such as ink, they had to go to Xinyi Trading Company to buy them!

So I don't care much about this lot.

"This metal movable type, I still have a unique skill!"

Li Xiao smiled mysteriously, as cheap as she wanted to be!
"Only the alloy movable type made in our workshop can perfectly match the ink! If you want to find some metal to make movable type, the printing effect of the finished product will not be ideal!"

"This is just the first move!"

Chang Le whispered coyly, "Brother Li, don't smile like this, this smile, this smile, it's not good."

Li Xiao was in embarrassment!
"Continue, what about the second move?" Li Shimin asked enthusiastically after stopping Princess Changle.Anything that can make Wu Xing Qi Wang unhappy is the source of Li Shimin's happiness!
"The second trick is, I designed the metal movable type with a mortise and tenon structure, and then used a simple stamping machine to stamp it!"

"The movable type like that is very convenient to use after being arranged! If the type is seriously worn and needs to be replaced, then you have to go to Xinyi Trading Company. If you want to make one yourself, hehe! The craftsmanship is impossible!"

Li Shimin was fascinated by what he heard, and nodded repeatedly.

After hearing this, Cheng Yaojin admired, "You are a fucking genius!"

Qin Qiong and the others also praised in a fancy way, "You boy is so weak!"

"Those who hold the idea of ​​picking up cheap, this time will have to suffer!"

"Come here, raise a glass, and wish this printing tool a high price!"

"Pharmacist, look at your stinginess! I wish this auction a sky-high price!"
