Iron Dynasty

After the hot air balloon floated over Qingzhou City, a heated discussion about what it was quickly erupted in the city.

However, the next day's newspaper completely let the people understand what this is, and the term hot air balloon has also become a popular and fashionable term in Qingzhou.

What is this hot air balloon? asked an out-of-town businessman who had just entered the city.

This hot air balloon is something that flies in the sky, probably like a ball. A native of Qingzhou answered proudly.

A flying ball? The foreign businessman was puzzled.

Of course, even pigs can fly in Qingzhou. Our Qingzhou is a place where anything can happen. This is what the newspaper said. Qingzhou people carried strong self-confidence.

The businessman smiled awkwardly. From his point of view, everyone in Qingzhou was sick, and he was not too sick.

He'd heard people discussing this question many times along the way, but everyone's response was different, which made him more and more confused.

Just when he was puzzled, he saw a group of people suddenly exclaimed and looked up at the sky at the same time.

He followed and looked over, and his jaw dropped in shock.

I saw a huge sphere slowly floating in the sky, a huge banner was attached to the hot air balloon, and three vertical banners were also hung on the hanging basket below.

The banner reads: Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce sells mirrors, perfumes, drunk Qingzhou liquor, if you want to buy it quickly, the address of the Chamber of Commerce...

The huge hot air balloon did not fly high and was very conspicuous. The moment they saw the hot air balloon, they also saw the advertisement on the hot air balloon.

The non-local businessman was stunned. He came here because of his reputation. Could it be that this is Qingzhou, where businessmen are flocking? It really is an extraordinary place.

The people of Qingzhou were also stunned. They didn't expect that hot air balloons could still be used like this.

Those businessmen who were originally living in Qingzhou were all human beings, and they understood something in an instant.

In the next few days, the people of Qingzhou gradually became familiar with the hot air balloons floating in the sky.

Every time the hot air balloon floats by, even the children in the city will run with the hot air balloon, which is very happy.

At the same time, all kinds of eyeliners in Qingzhou City also spread the strange news of hot air balloons back, and at the same time they are collecting news about all aspects of hot air balloons.

However, these matters are handled by Li San, while Xiao Ming is busy dealing with businessmen. After all, he is still named as the president of the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce.

His Royal Highness, this hot air balloon is really amazing. I wonder if Your Highness can also put the name of the Cao Family Bank on it and write down the business of the Cao Family Bank.

It was the first time that Cao Zhengyang found Qi Wangfu.

He first went to the Chamber of Commerce, and after learning that the Chamber of Commerce had no right to intervene, he immediately came to the Qi Wangfu to visit Xiao Ming.

Li Kaiyuan didn't understand about the advertisement, so Xiao Ming naturally didn't feel relieved to hand it over to him.

This time, the advertisement on the hot air balloon was naturally what Xiao Ming ordered Lin Wentao to do. It is very difficult to promote their own shops in the era of closed information, especially many businessmen have opened their workshops outside Qingzhou City.

After Xiao Ming changed hands with soap technology, there were no less than fifty soap shops outside Qingzhou City.

All of these fifty companies want to sell more of their soap, and the effect of advertising will be important at this time. Whoever seizes the first opportunity will gain the initiative and will get more profits.

This... In business affairs, Xiao Ming naturally wanted to raise the price, he said hesitantly: One hot air balloon flight costs a lot, this...

Cao Zhengyang was already prepared, he said, His Royal Highness, even if you say it straight, Cao will naturally not let His Highness spend money.

In this case, this king said that the thing hanging on the hot air balloon is called an advertisement. As the name suggests, it is widely advertised. Now that you need this advertisement, the cost of this advertisement is also very different.

Please speak, Your Highness.

Xiao Ming continued: You must have seen that there are many banners hanging on this hot air balloon, and the positions of the banners are different, so the problem comes, the position of each banner is different, and the price is also different. The size of the banner is different, and the price is also different, so where do you need the banner and how big is the banner?

Cao Zhengyang recalled that the banners on the hot air balloons were really of different sizes and positions.

He smiled and said, His Royal Highness, why is it so troublesome, if Cao Mou is all-inclusive, it will be done.

Xiao Ming sneered in his heart, thinking that you brought it to the door yourself. With a hot air balloon with a diameter of ten meters and the position of the hanging basket, there are as many as 30 advertising spots for a hot air balloon at one time.

He said: In fact, there are not many. The hot air balloon will travel around the city once every ten days, three times a month. You must know that as long as the hot air balloon appears, it will attract the attention of the people and businessmen.

Cao Zhengyang nodded.

So, if you contract it all, three times a month, you have to pay 50,000 taels of silver.

Cao Zhengyang almost said, You stole money. When he reacted, he immediately fell into silence.

Xiao Ming knew this would be the case, he analyzed it and said: There are thirty advertising spaces on each hot air balloon, three times a month, which is equivalent to about 600 taels per advertising space once. It’s not expensive, and the worst advertising space is about three hundred taels three times a month.”

Cao Zhengyang nodded, it's really not expensive to pay back the advertising space.

It's just that Haikou has already boasted, and the Cao family bank is about to open, he gritted his teeth and said: Your Highness, fifty thousand is fifty thousand, this is the silver note of our Cao family bank, you can go to the bank to exchange silver at any time with money.

Xiao Ming took the silver note handed over by Cao Zhengyang and felt relieved at the same time. He felt deeply that the Cao family had strong financial resources.

This banknote is basically equivalent to modern paper money.

And the Cao family was able to let merchants generally use the Cao family's banknotes in the Great Yu Kingdom, which shows the strong strength of the Cao family bank.

But he is not worried, it will not take long for him to issue his own currency, but before issuing currency, he must reserve a large amount of gold and silver.

And this gold and silver must be obtained through foreign trade and plunder.

In his mind, he clearly remembered the locations of gold and silver mines in various places, but in order to obtain these deposits, he must first defeat the local Western colonists.

After sending Cao Zhengyang away, Xiao Ming met with other businessmen and introduced them to such widely advertised advertisements. The businessmen generally received the advertisements very quickly.

However, Cao Zhengyang was rich and powerful, and contracted for three months of advertising.

Busy until the afternoon, the businessmen who came to visit left one after another. At this time, Xiao Ming took the money and went to Bowen College.

He fulfilled his promise, and all the advertising revenue will be used for the education of Bowen College, whether it is the purchase of experimental materials, the improvement of the students' living standards, or the purchase of special school uniforms for the students.
