Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

Soon, under the leadership of Han Xing, six wealthy merchants came in respectfully and saluted the three of them.

Zhang Dun smiled, spread his palms to let them sit down, and asked, "See you in the afternoon as agreed, but I didn't expect you to come here before this afternoon."

"Are you here to discuss cooperation?"

The leader of the wealthy businessman hurriedly said: "Zhang Shaoyin sees the fire well, we came here because we want to talk to the three imperial envoys about cooperating in "Dream of Red Mansions"."

"You wait first."

Zhang Dun narrowed his eyes and said, "Who told you that when we talk about cooperation, we only talk about "Dream of Red Mansions"?"

The six wealthy merchants were stunned at the same time, and the leading merchant hesitated: "Zhang Shaoyin, what do you mean, if we cooperate, you want us to buy other books?"

"good."

Zhang Dun smiled and nodded, "If you only sell "A Dream of Red Mansions", how long will it last? What I need is that you buy other books from Hedong Road at the same time."

One of the wealthy businessmen suddenly hesitated, "But we are the ones who print books..."

The other five wealthy merchants also frowned.

They are in the business of making paper and books in Long County. If they follow what Zhang Dun said, wouldn't they have to give up all the workshops?

Zhang Dun tapped the table with his fingers, and said patiently: "You need a lot of cost to print books, and you can save a lot of cost by purchasing from Hedong Road, so why not do it?"

The crowd fell silent.

They make their own paper and books, and the cost is indeed quite a lot.

They can also see that if they buy from Hedong Road, they can save a lot of money.

Zhang Dun was right, but they felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't tell.

The leading merchant said in a deep voice: "Zhang Shaoyin, if we only buy goods from Hedong Road, then we have to abandon all our workshops in Long County."

"But if one day we can't get goods from Hedong Road, or if the paper and books in Hedong Road become more expensive one day, wouldn't we just sit and wait for death?"

"how could be."

Zhang Dun laughed, "If you are worried, I can sign a contract with you on behalf of the Governor's Mansion of Bingzhou on Hedong Road, and the price will never be raised within five years."

"When the contract is signed after five years, it will be calculated according to the price at that time."

Hearing those words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The leader of the wealthy businessman showed a smile on his face, "God will not take it, but we will be blamed instead. Zhang Shaoyin gave us a chance, how can we ignore it?"

"Thank you, Zhang Shaoyin."

Seeing him cupping his hands, Zhang Dun raised his hand to stop him, and said with a smile, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me."

"Aren't you afraid of offending Chen Ran if you cooperate with us?"

The six wealthy merchants looked at each other, and the leading merchant said helplessly: "Zhang Shaoyin, in fact, we persuaded Chen Ran before we came. We wanted to join him and discuss cooperation with Zhang Shaoyin, but he didn't listen."

"Then don't talk about him."

Zhang Dun waved his hand and asked, "How many books do you plan to ask for?"

The leader of the wealthy businessman looked serious, "It depends on how much Zhang Shaoyin can give us."

Zhang Dun pondered: "There are many people waiting to start work on the Hedong Road. The workshop can be expanded at any time. That is to say, we can give you as much as you want."

The leader of the wealthy businessman suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Then let's each ask for [-] sets of "Dream of Red Mansions" first."

"Huh?" Zhang Dun frowned, and said, "You don't plan to buy anything else?"

The leading merchant laughed dryly and said, "I can't sell anything else."

They knew how much they could eat in Long County and the counties and counties around Long County.

Books like the Four Books and Five Classics have long been sold out.

Zhang Dun said speechlessly: "You don't know how to bundle sales?"

The expressions of the six wealthy merchants were startled, and the leader of the wealthy merchants was confused: "Zhang Shaoyin, what is bundled sales?"

Zhang Dun said patiently: "Do you think the book "Dream of Red Mansions" can be sold?"

The leading merchant hurriedly said: "It must be possible, otherwise why would we enter it? It must be so many that people want it."

Zhang Dun smiled and said, "That's it. When you sell it, bring the Four Books and Five Classics with you."

As he spoke, he raised a finger and said, "For example, if a copy of "A Dream of Red Mansions" sells for two pennies, you sell "The Analects of Confucius" together with it for five hundred pennies."

The leading businessman frowned and said, "What if people don't want "The Analects of Confucius", but only the Dream of the Red Chamber?"

Zhang Dun said with a smile, "It's fine if you don't sell it to him? Buyers either buy it together or don't sell it. As long as Dream of Red Mansions sells well, are you afraid that no one will buy it?"

"That's a good idea."

The wealthy merchants discussed in a low voice for a while, and the leading wealthy merchant raised his head and said solemnly: "Then we will also enter some "The Analects of Confucius."

Zhang Dun said in an irrefutable tone: "Four Books, Five Classics, and other books, you should also read some."

"Each of you, don't you have to buy [-] copies of "Dream of Red Mansions"? The other books also add up to [-] copies, which can be used for bundle sales."

"Okay... listen to Zhang Shaoyin."

The leading merchant pondered for a while, "The purchase price..."

Zhang Dun said indifferently: "The cost price of "Dream of Red Mansions" is [-] yuan per book, and the other books are [-] Wen each."

"He Dong Dao will send someone to deliver the things to you, so you don't need to take them."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Still care about delivery?

You must know that the distance from Hedong Road to Guannei Road is not short, and the cost of going back and forth on the road is definitely a lot.

Now Zhang Dun's words are undoubtedly beneficial to them, and the leader of the wealthy businessman said excitedly: "No problem!"

Zhang Dun looked at him and said, "Also, you have to pay the money first."

Hearing this, the leading tycoon's smile froze on his face, and he said after a long time: "Zhang Shaoyin, this is against the rules, usually the goods are delivered first and then the money is paid..."

Zhang Dun sighed, "You all know what's going on in Hedong Road now, those workshops alone are not enough."

"We need money to expand the workshop."

"If you don't give it, it will delay you for ten days and a half month, and you will lose ten days and a half month's money?"

"..."

The wealthy merchants whispered again for a while, and after a long time, the leading wealthy merchant gritted his teeth and said: "For Zhang Shaoyin's sake, we can pay the money for the purchase first!"

Chapter 304 Immortal Merit!Praise from the old master in Long County

"Finally, the most difficult hurdle has passed."

After the six wealthy merchants left, Du Yan exhaled and said with emotion.

Changsun Wuji nodded in agreement.

What is the most difficult hurdle when you come to Guannei Road this time?

It was Chen Ran and those wealthy gentry who joined forces with the local rich merchants to make their trip for nothing.

But now, Zhang Dun used a copy of "A Dream of Red Mansions" to make Chen Ran and those six wealthy businessmen turn against each other.

At the same time, six wealthy businessmen were also asked to cooperate with them.

In addition, people from the Taiyuan Wang family who lived in Long County helped them behind the scenes.

Now no one will hold them back!

Zhang Dun smiled, yes, the most difficult hurdle has been passed.

This also means that the problem of the victims in Hedong Road must be completely solved!

"Zhang Shaoyin—"

At this moment, Wang Feng's joyful voice suddenly sounded outside the tent, "The Wang family is here to send money!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw Wang Feng grinning from ear to ear, he opened the curtain and walked in, clasped his fists and said loudly.

Du Yan asked curiously, "How much did you send?"

"Thirty-five thousand guan!"

Wang Feng laughed, "The smell of money is really delicious."

"At this moment, the money has already been pulled in, and they even provided us with an ox cart for free!"

"With these [-] guan, I'm afraid Neng Le will go crazy on the east side of the river."

Hearing this, Han Xing, who walked in with him, couldn't help laughing and said:

"What [-] guan, you have to double it!"

Wang Feng was taken aback, "Huh?"

double?What is this saying?

Han Xing pointed at Zhang Dun with a smile, and said, "Just now, Zhang Shaoyin and the others discussed another deal."

"Talked with the local Howe."

""Dream of Red Mansions" is sold to them for a price, and each person has [-] sets, which is [-] yuan!"

Han Xing combed through his fingers and said, "There are four books and five classics, each with [-] articles, a total of [-] copies, which is [-]."

"A total of [-] guan."

"Add the 11 guan you mentioned, and you get [-] guan!"

hiss!

Wang Feng couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air.

so much money?

It's not that they don't know, but with the calculated amount of money, Du Yan and Changsun Wuji feel that they are almost out of breath.

"Okay, very good!"

Du Yan looked at Zhang Dun with a smile on his face and said, "Let's go back now!"

Zhang Dun shook his head, "Go back? Where are you going? The matter is not over yet."

Changsun Wuji frowned, looked at him in confusion and said, "What do you mean it's not over yet?"

Du Yan also looked at Zhang Dun in confusion.

The books are all sold out, and the next batch of books will also be sold ahead of time, so there is no point in staying in Long County.

Can't wait for the new year!

Zhang Dun said patiently: "Let's wait."

This time he came to Guan Nei Dao not only to sell books, but more importantly, to promote "Chinese Textbook"!

Several Chinese textbooks were sold yesterday.

In addition, Taiyuan Wang also bought the rest of the books. As long as those books are sold, Zhang Dun believes that someone will know the goods!

Around afternoon, Zhang Dun smiled when Han Xing brought back a piece of news.

"Zhang Shaoyin, there is an old man who is looking for you in Manlong County!"

"It's finally here." Zhang Dun let out a breath and asked, "Where is he?"

Han Xing hurriedly said: "He is now at the market, which is where we sold books yesterday."

Zhang Dun raised his mouth slightly and said, "Lead the way ahead, I want to meet him."

After speaking, he followed Han Xing and left the tent.

However, when he walked into the city, Zhang Dun paused, and turned his head to glance at Du Yan and Changsun Wuji who followed silently behind him.

"Dugong, grandson, what are you doing with me?"

Du Yan said with a dry smile: "The old man wants to follow to learn more."

Zhang Dun looked at him suspiciously, "Why don't you sound like it's true when you say this?"
