Almighty System Great Master Qin

Chapter 32 Daqin's First Newspaper

Xiao Hong asked Di Yun to serve tea, and said: "Since Di Jian said that you are the most business-minded person in your family, then tell me, what do you think is the significance of starting Daqin Mining Group?"

Di Yun lowered her head and thought for a while, then said: "Minnv thinks that Lord Hou founded the Daqin Mining Group to control all the copper and iron merchants in the world."

"Well, go ahead"

"In order to get merchants to help make harnesses and weapons, Lord Hou handed over the method of making thousands of catties of steel per day and the blueprints of harnesses and weapons to these copper and iron merchants who participated in the manufacture. But when the output was low, they Even if the country can’t satisfy them, now that they have the method of producing tens of thousands of catties of steel every day, then their production capacity may be excessive, and merchants may sell these hundreds of steels to foreigners for profit. But with the Daqin Mining Group , all the minerals are in the hands of Lord Hou, so Lord Hou will know how much these businessmen buy. Once someone takes the risk of selling hundreds of steel-making products to foreigners, Lord Hou can use Daqin Mining Group to cut off his source of raw materials, so that he has no trouble. raw materials are available, and then goes bankrupt.”

"Not bad, not bad." Xiao Hong applauded, and said: "Miss Di really has a long-term view, but controlling merchants is only one of the abilities of Daqin Mining Group."

"Then how do you think Daqin Mining Group should operate?"

"Minnv thinks..."

Xiao Hong talked with Di Yun for an hour, and Di Yun also confirmed that she was not just a vase.

"Okay, then, including your Di family, we are recommending several merchants to jointly hold this [-]% share." Xiao Hong's plan at the beginning was to split this [-]% share into five shares, and five merchants would buy it together. The value of the shares is extremely high, and Xiao Hong doesn't think that one family can afford it.

"Master Hou, our Di family is willing to pay for a full [-]% of the shares," Di Yun Fushen said.

"Does your Di family know how much this [-]% share is worth? Now that most of your Di family's money has been invested in the production of harnesses and weapons, you still have money to buy [-]% of the shares?" Xiao Hong did not believe that the Di family would so rich.

"Your Majesty, it is true that our Di family cannot afford so much money at one time, but our Di family is willing to use all the family property as a guarantee. After His Majesty's expedition to the Huns this time, our Di family is willing to use 40 yuan to buy 40% of the shares. If the Di family cannot come up with [-] yuan by then, we are willing to hand over all the property to Lord Hou, and there will be no Di family in Xianyang from then on.”

"Has your Di family thought about it?" Xiao Hong didn't expect Di Jian to be so courageous, using the property of the Di family as a guarantee.

Daqin Mining Group is very profitable, but that is only a few years later, and now it needs to invest 40 yuan at a time, which is a huge sum of money for the Di family. Once the family business fails to manage well, they may even go bankrupt.

"Master Hou, when the daughter of the people came, the elder father has repeatedly told me that as long as we can get this [-]% of the shares, our Di family will not be afraid of paying a high price."

"Okay, Di Jian is worthy of being the number one businessman in Xianyang. I admire this kind of courage, so let's sign the contract. In the future, Daqin Mining Group will be handed over to your Di family to manage. But remember, don't pretend to be smart and make small moves, or when the time comes Even this Marquis can’t save you.”

"Men Daughter Knows"

"Um"

Xiao Hong and Di Yun signed Daqin's first purely commercial contract, and since then the Di family has been tied to Xiao Hong's chariot.

After Di Yun left, Chen Ping came to Xiao Hong with a newspaper.

"Master Hou, look at this is the first newspaper we are going to publish"

"Well, it's well written." The articles in this newspaper were all written by themselves, but the writing was very objective, and most of them expressed their own opinions.

"But don't rush to print it, print dozens of copies first, and Benhou will show it to His Majesty tomorrow morning."

"Here"

"Wang Chen"

"Hou Ye"

"How long has Hu Hai been back to the palace?"

"Master Hou, today is the tenth day"

"Well, he has had enough rest, and it's time to come back and continue studying."

Xiao Hong sent Wang Chen to bring Hu Hai back with his warrant.

As the teacher of young master Hu Hai, Xiao Hong can send someone to order Hu Hai to come to class. This is in line with the rules.

In less than an hour, Hu Hai arrived in a carriage.

"teacher"

“Have a good rest these days”

"Yeah." Hu Hai nodded.

"Okay, since this is the case, when the Marquis of Japan and His Majesty are discussing the newspaper, you should be there too. Write a [-]-word piece of experience and give it to the Marquis. If you can't finish writing, you can't rest."

"Teacher, isn't six hundred characters too much?"

"A lot? Then I will reduce the pressure on you and change it to seven hundred words."

"Me!" Hu Hai was dumbfounded, how can the pressure be reduced like this?
"Why is it too much?" Xiao Hong looked at Hu Hai with a smile and said.

"Not much, not much, really not much." Hu Hai ran away, he was afraid that if he didn't run away from Xiao Hong, he would make him write a thousand-word experience.

Hu Hai didn't eat dinner that night, and he didn't finish writing until two or three o'clock in the middle of the night.

When Xiao Hong went out to court the next day, Hu Hai was still awake.

"Wang Chen, wake up Hu Hai at Sichu (nine o'clock in the morning) and ask him to water and weed his fields by himself"

"Here"

Xiao Hong got out of the carriage, took the newspaper and walked towards Qilin Hall.

"Marquis of Nanyang"

"National Division"

"Master Meng"

Xiao Hong greeted all the officials along the way, walked to his seat, and sat down.

"Look at what Marquis Nanyang is holding in his hand."

"I can't see clearly"

"I see there are words on it."

Just when everyone was talking about the newspaper in Xiao Hong's hands, the audience stepped into the Qilin Hall and said loudly: "Your Majesty is here!"

Everyone immediately bowed to greet him.

"Free Gift"

"National Teacher, what report do you have today?"

All the officials had known Xiao Hong for a long time, he would never come to the court if he had nothing to do, as long as he came to the court, he must have something to report.

"Your Majesty, the newspaper I mentioned earlier has already been produced. This is the first draft of the newspaper. I specially brought it here for His Majesty and all the adults to have a look and decide whether any changes are needed."

The visitor hurriedly took the newspaper and presented it to Qin Shihuang, while the other officials, Xiao Hong, also handed it out one by one.

"What is this thing that can be written?"

"It's very soft to the touch and very lightweight"

"Well, this article is well written"

"This argument is good, the Yin Yang family still has something."

Everyone in the court looked at the newspaper and commented on it from time to time.

Qin Shihuang, on the other hand, read each article very carefully, but recently Daqin has no external wartime, so there is no military section for the time being.

There are three newspapers, all of which have both positive and negative sides. There are four articles on them, three policy theories and some interesting things that happened in Xianyang.

Qin Shihuang put down the newspaper and said, "Master, are the articles in this newspaper all from disciples of a hundred schools?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, but because the newspaper has just been established, the articles in this issue of the newspaper are all written by the newspaper staff themselves, and the next issue will collect articles from the people."

"Yes, these articles are well written, what do you think of the ministers?"

"The ministers have no objection"

"Okay, let's print it according to this periodical. How many copies will the National Teacher plan to print?"

"Your Majesty, I am going to print [-] copies first"

"[-] copies?" When everyone heard this, when will the [-] copies be copied.

Xiao Hong saw everyone's doubts, and said: "My lords, this Marquis has invented movable type printing, and it only takes one day to print [-] copies of newspapers."

"one day!"

"What is movable type?"

"Could it be fairy art!"

What the hell!

The more I said the more I went too far.

"My lords, movable type printing is not a fairy art. This Marquis will add an explanation of movable type printing in this issue of the newspaper, so stay tuned."

"Marquis Nanyang, what is this?"

an officer tore off a piece of paper and asked.

"This is the latest paper invented by Ben Hou. It can replace bamboo slips and silk for writing. In a few days, Ben Hou will sell it to the public and everyone can buy it."

"National Master, this piece of paper"

"Your Majesty, I have ordered someone to make it urgently, and tomorrow I will order someone to deliver it to Your Majesty"

"Hahaha" Qin Shihuang laughed and said, "Aiqing, you really are my servant!"
