Chapter 560: Zhu Di regretted it
My father decreed that 30,000 copies of The Wealth of Nations should be printed. Zhu Gaoxu said casually, and found that the third child didn't react and was still stuffing grapes in his mouth, so he got angry, snatched the small pot of grapes in front of him, and snorted angrily: "Did you hear, the opportunity to make a fortune has come, don't you want to hoard it?" ”
Zhu Gaosui sat up and looked at the second brother with the eyes of an idiot.
"You better hurry up and do your studies with the master, you are too far behind in business!" Zhu Gaosui said unceremoniously: "This time it is a large-scale publication, and it is 30,000 copies at once, what's the use of me hoarding this?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu snorted: "Master's writing is so good, 30,000 copies are not enough to sell, and the price will definitely increase." ”
Zhu Gaosui said: "What if the price rises? If it goes up, it will go up, anyway, there won't be a lot of money, 30,000 copies are not enough to sell, 50,000, 80,000 is enough! Don't think that Master is so godly, his little routine, in fact, I can see it. Zhu Gaosui was full of confidence, "Second brother, believe it or not, if I am asked to compete with my master in business, I promise to be better than him." ”
Zhu Gaoxu looked at his younger brother seriously, and said very seriously: "Third brother, you have swelled, and you regret it." ”
After Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, he took the grapes and left. Zhu Gaosui pouted and was still unconvinced, regretting it? Will I regret it? What I regret the most is to put up such an unreasonable brother as you...... No, my grapes!
"Give it back to me!"
Zhu Gaosui was lying on his back to the sky, panting, if he could have been born a few years earlier, he would definitely strangle Zhu Gaochu, by the way, and the equally annoying Zhu Gaochi.
God, why am I behind the two of them?
Zhu Gaoxu held fresh grapes and ran to Liufu, the New Year is approaching, and there are not many fresh fruits to eat at this time.
He smiled and sent it to the little junior sister, "Come, taste it." ”
The little girl smiled and took the huge grape grains, stuffed them into her mouth, and bit them with the teeth that had just come out, the sweet and sour juice overflowed the whole mouth, and a grape was swallowed, and the little girl was so happy that her eyes were gone.
She stretched out her little hand and grabbed two more, Zhu Gaoxu still smiled, "What's the hurry, come one by one, no one will rob you." ”
As he was talking, he saw the little girl turn around and run to the room on the side, and delivered the two grapes to Zhu Zhanji's hands.
"Good, delicious!"
Listening to the little junior sister's milky words, Zhu Gaoxu had an urge to go crazy. He felt the need to give his sister an aesthetic lesson and make her understand that the black boy was not a good thing.
While Zhu Gaoxu was thinking, Zhu Zhanji ran out of it with a book in his hand.
"Second, second uncle, I, I want to ask my master, okay?"
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at it and saw that he was holding "The Wealth of Nations" in his hand, and immediately frowned, "How old are you, can you understand?" ”
Zhu Zhanji scratched his head, "If you can understand something, the gentlemen said that in the future, the school will ask for the teacher's book, and I will take a look at it in advance." ”
Zhu Gaochu snorted, "It's quite clever, Master's book, of course it has to be ......" Zhu Gaochu suddenly realized one thing, it's over, the third child miscalculated!
When 30,000 copies were printed and placed in various bookstores, the enthusiasm for buying was ignited in an instant.
In fact, just with Liu Chun's name, even if he doesn't write anything and prints a blank paper, someone will buy it, not to mention that it is a masterpiece with something to say.
And a long time ago, there was a story about Liu Chun's writing and hundreds of officials reading it, and later Guozijian gave a lecture, and many scholars went to listen to it.
Now that the books are out, can you not buy one and read it at home?
Look at the price again, it's not expensive, only 500 Wen, it's enough to save a few days of food expenses.
Soon, there was a wave of purchases, one for you and one for me...... In the blink of an eye, thousands of copies were sold.
The owners of the various bookstores are happy.
It's just that Lord Liu, who has sold at least three times more books than others, and he should have more goods in the future.
He had just had this thought, when he suddenly noticed a large number of people appearing on the street, and they rushed to him.
These people don't just buy them one by one.
"Give me three!"
"I want five!"
"Ten copies, I'm going to give them away!"
……
Dare to love these people are businessmen in the capital.
They don't care too much about the books and come to buy them as soon as they want. But when they heard that Lord Liu had written a book, and it was about businessmen, they still told the big guy how to get rich...... How can you miss it!
Lord Yanagi!
You know? It was the one who founded the Royal Bank, and when the grandfather was alive, he called him the Good Wealth Boy.
His books are full of wealth!
Even if you can't understand it, buy it back and provide it at home, and you can bless you with wealth!
Merchants constituted the second wave of purchases...... When these merchants got their hands on the books, they were amazed that there was nothing in them, and they were all in the vernacular.
But if you look closely, you will find that it is full of keys to doing business.
Improve efficiency, control costs, rationalize the division of labor, and tap the potential of workers...... Oh my God! Lord Liu simply said that the big guy was on the heart.
Look, there's a case here!
It is Daning Iron and Steel Plant.
Great, I still have a silk workshop in my hand, and Lord Liu's practice is worth learning from.
These merchants were much more wealthy than scholars, and they not only bought them themselves, but also gave them to their relatives and friends...... After their sweep, there are not many copies left of this first batch of 30,000 copies.
The bookstore owner was anxious, "Quick, hurry up and load the goods, as many as you want!" ”
The young man was just about to go out, and some more people came.
These guys turned out to be a group of foreign emissaries in fancy clothes!
What the hell?
Can you foreign barbarians understand the Chinese language?
The owner of the bookstore kindly reminded him, who knew that these people actually had words, "Don't worry, we will study hard!" ”
The most surprising thing is that the people of Harlie Country are the most ruthless in sweeping goods.
For example, Koreans also like to buy books, especially since they also know Chinese characters, but the problem is that these people are too small-nosed and small-eyed, twisted and pinched, and are reluctant to spend money.
As a result, the messenger of Haret came, and he didn't ask how much, but all of them increased the price tenfold, and all of them were swept away.
In less than a day's work, one bookstore after another bought out the goods, and some of them ran out of stock in less than half a day.
What else can I do?
Let's go to stock!
When the gang rushed to the printing office, they found a huge sign on it, "Please queue up to register, pay 30% in advance, and wait for the notice." ”
What the heck?
If you can't get the spot, you have to queue up, so forget it, what does it mean to pay 30% in advance?
Even if it's just an advance payment, why don't you even have time, and when will you get it?
What if the bookstore takes our money?
Especially who is ahead of us?
"It's all old friends, accommodating and accommodating, we are willing to increase the price by one percent, uh no, two percent, three percent!"
In the face of these crazy bosses, the bookstore can only spread their hands, "You can't fight, there are too many people who want to buy this book, see no, the first in line is the household department, and then the Ministry of Industry." ”
"Aren't they officials? What do you buy books for? ”
The person in the bookstore snorted, "What's wrong with being an official?" The official also has to do things beautifully, I heard that no, according to Lord Liu's method, the three major halls are repaired quickly and well, who doesn't want to please the Son of Heaven! ”
The owners of the bookstore have nothing to say, they can't rob the official master.
"So, then what? That's us? ”
"What do you think!" The person from the bookstore said politely: "I just got the news that many academies led by Jimingshan School have come to order books, but they are for teaching and for the next generation." Do we dare not prioritize! ”
"Oh! That, then what? Is it us? ”
"No!" The bookstore man shook his head.
"Who else?"
"There are five military governors!" The people in the bookstore rolled their eyes and said: "Liang Guogong said that this book contains the magic method of using troops to dispatch, he wants to let the soldiers read well, and don't let people laugh at the ignorance of martial artists in the future!" I heard that Liang Guogong also said that he wanted the generals to write their experiences! ”
These bookstore owners are crazy, isn't this a use of power for personal gain?
Liang Guogong, you can't hold Liu Chun like this just because he is your son-in-law!
Be kind, kind!
They said that nothing worked, and they had to wait at the back of the line...... And at this time, news kept coming out that Liu Chun's theory of division of labor worked!
First of all, the military workshop, they changed the original model of one master in charge of all the processes to more than 20 processes, each of which was responsible for one ...... As a result, within five days, a month's output was completed!
The military workshop was successful, and the mines over there did the same, and the efficiency of iron ore mining increased threefold...... The rest, what textile workshops, woodcraft workshops, kiln factories, have been experimented one after another, and most of them have succeeded, and the efficiency has doubled!
Now people completely understand that this "Wealth of Nations" not only has the word rich in its title, but also the content in it can really make people rich!
Lord Liu, it's amazing!
Rush to buy, buy like crazy!
But the problem came out, the bookstore couldn't print so much at all, and they were all in a hurry.
At this time, a young apprentice, not yet twenty years old, made a suggestion to the administrator in charge of printing.
"Didn't Lord Liu say in the book that there should be a division of labor? Why don't we give it a try? ”
This sentence can be regarded as waking up the bookstore...... It's really stupid, people make a fortune with the methods in the book, and we who are in charge of printing the book are so stupid that we don't know the change, what is in our heads?
After a night of discussion, the bookstore immediately increased the process of printing books, and without saying anything, each person was responsible for a stall, from paper, to ink, to movable type, to binding...... Each link was subdivided into many processes, and finally, the efficiency of printing books improved rapidly, and at the end of the day, it took five days of work!
"Everyone, work harder, this month, we will pay three times the salary! Triple that! The proprietor of the bookstore shouted at the top of his lungs, and he had one thing that he didn't say, and that was that you have to do ten times as much work!
Every boss is black-hearted, and Zhu Di, as the blackest-hearted one, suddenly regretted it, he shouldn't have agreed in the first place, and handed over the proceeds from the sale of books to Liu Chun, can he regret it?
"Bookmark for easy reading"
