Chapter 208: Yuan Kui's Decision
It can be said that this tea has a great reputation before it comes out.
There is no way, the people in the palace respect it, and the people outside will naturally follow suit, not to mention that this tea is really good.
Some people who get the tea want to buy this new tea.
Zhang Yu watched all this quietly in his yard.
Guo Jia walked in and said to Zhang Yu with a smile: "Lord, our plan has succeeded, can the book be sold?" ”
Zhang Yu's fingers tapped lightly on the table and said, "Well, the sale will start tomorrow afternoon, and the news will be released in the morning." ”
Guo Jia sat under Zhang Yu's head, touched his chin and said, "Lord, when our store starts selling books, it will definitely surprise those families, catch them off guard, I don't know how much the lord plans to sell the books?" ”
Zhang Yu sneered and said, "The first three days were a big reward, a thousand yuan per book. ”
After the large-scale production of books, the price is very cheap, and it takes a year to make a bamboo slip, and it costs tens of thousands of dollars before and after.
At this time, the paper books sold by Zhang Yu were directly one-tenth of the price of bamboo slips, and they were easy to carry and keep.
With all these advantages, everyone understands that bamboo slips will soon be replaced by paper books.
Guo Jia asked again: "How much does the lord plan to sell in three days?" ”
Zhang Yu said proudly: "Three days later, one will be sold for a hundred yuan." ”
"Poof~"
Guo Jia burst out laughing on the spot.
Three days of big rewards, a book of 1,000 dollars, three days later, a book of 100 dollars.
"Lord, you are going to kill those families." Guo Jia said with a smile.
"They have money, don't pit them to pit anyone." Zhang Yu said.
Zhang Yu's idea is very simple, these families are rich and want to control knowledge, when cheap books appear, they will inevitably think of buying them all, so that others can't buy them, and monopolize them.
In order to monopolize knowledge, these families will go crazy.
So Zhang Yu deliberately sold the price so high.
A thousand big money, ten times more expensive than a hundred big money, I don't know how many families will vomit blood when the time comes.
Zhang Yu didn't care about this, early the next morning, rumors began to appear in Luoyang City that more than a dozen of Zhang Yu's stores were about to open.
Early in the morning, the clerk arranged by Zhang Yu also entered the store to start preparations, and there were ten soldiers with weapons at the door.
And the door of more than a dozen shops was already full of people, all of whom were domestic servants of the family, waiting to open the door and go in to buy things.
By noon, the shop was still open, but it was already full of people.
After an hour, the door finally opened, and more than a dozen shops opened at the same time.
Zhang Yu's shop finally revealed its true face.
"Shopkeeper, how do you sell tea?"
"Is there fairy brew here that can be sold?"
"Shopkeeper, our Li family wants all the tea."
"Get out of the way, I'm from the Zhang family."
As soon as the door opened, the housekeepers, who were afraid that they would not be able to complete their errands, began to rush in, and then shouted for shopping.
But those who were about to rush in were stopped by several soldiers.
"Why don't you let me in, our head of the family is still waiting."
"Get out of the way, don't delay our master to drink tea."
"Hey, this deal can't be done yet."
The men were stopped and began to mumble.
At this time, the shopkeeper came out of it and pressed his hands to silence the scene.
"Our store opened today, and it sells all paper books, and we have more than 30 classics here, such as the Analects, Spring and Autumn Period, I Ching, Mencius, etc., and there will be more books in the future."
"Our store has just opened, three days of big rewards, each book only needs a thousand dollars, everyone wants to buy it quickly, after these three days, it is not this price."
Almost at the same time, more than a dozen shopkeepers came out at the same time to take out a paper book to show to everyone.
"Why don't we sell tea, we just need tea."
"Where's the tea?"
"How do you explain to the head of the family this time?"
"It's over, hurry up and go to other stores to see if there is any tea for sale."
"Go, go, go."
When the shopkeeper took out the product turned out to be books instead of tea, everyone exploded.
These people are all on orders, and the matter has not been done, so it is naturally difficult to explain when they go back.
A group of people made a lot of noise, scolding these shops, but had to hurry to other stores.
When they ran around and found that all the shops did not sell tea at all, they realized that something was wrong.
So a group of people hurriedly ran back to report.
Yuan Mansion.
"Uncle, uncle." Yuan Shao shouted as he ran.
At this time, Yuan Kui was sitting quietly in the pavilion in the courtyard to make tea and study the new tea.
Yuan Kui knew that this Yuan Shao had always been steady, and if he was so flustered today, something must have happened, but Yuan Kui knew that he couldn't panic.
"Don't worry, speak slowly." Yuan Kui still sat and said.
Yuan Shao saw that Yuan Kui was so calm and relaxed, and then said to Yuan Kui: "Uncle, Zhang Yu's dozen shops don't sell tea at all, and we have all been deceived by his tricks. ”
After hearing this, Yuan Kui's hand shook, knowing that Zhang Yu was planning such a big bend, and what he planned must be not small, so he asked, "What is it selling!" ”
"Books, paper books."
"Bang~"
What he was most afraid of, Yuan Kui didn't hold the cup steady, and the cup fell to the ground.
Yuan Kui breathed heavily, knowing that he was tricked by Zhang Yu again this time.
"What is the price? How much? Yuan Kui tried to calm down, and asked something very crucial.
"Each classic is a thousand dollars, as for the quantity, it should be a lot, if Zhang Yu's convoy this time is all books, there are at least 100,000 copies, my nephew has already ordered someone to buy them, and I will buy a few copies back soon." Yuan Shao hurriedly told what he knew.
Yuan Kui closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Damn, this time he was completely tricked by Zhang Yu, he sold books, this is revenge, revenge." Yuan Kui said angrily.
"Uncle, generally a book is more than 10,000 yuan in bamboo, this chapter feather is sold so cheaply, and the quantity is huge, I'm afraid that books will be popularized at that time." Yuan Shao said.
"Don't worry, this thousand dollars a book, those mud legs still can't afford to read, it's just that some small families can only rely on us big families, if they have their own books, after one or two generations, they will gradually get rid of the dependence of our big families and develop."
Many small families still can't afford to buy books, or can only buy a small number of books, so they still have to rely on the big family to send their children to study in the big family's private school, but if they have a large number of books, I'm afraid they won't need these big families at that time.
"Uncle, what should we do then?" Yuan Shao asked.
"Mobilize all the great families, buy the books in Zhang Yu's hands, and then find a way to control or destroy Zhang Yu's technology for making books, so as not to let books appear on a large scale." Yuan Kui said coldly.
