Christie's shareholders' meeting is still going on, and it is not easy to convene this shareholders' meeting, because several major shareholders are busy people, even today, there are still four people, Wang Xu, Ma Zhi, Ximen Qing and Hua Manshan.

Wang Xu, Wu Haogu and others are different generations, so naturally they will not come to this shareholders' meeting to sit and discuss with juniors. Ma Zhi stuck together with Tong Guan every day, discussing how to build an immortal feat, and Wu Haogu's "small business" was not in his eyes. Ximen Qingren was not in Kaifeng Mansion, so of course he could not attend the meeting. And Hua Manlou came to Kaifeng a few days ago, and brought a few land deeds - through the "monk intermediary" of Faqi Temple, he has helped Wu Haogu buy a large piece of land on Yuzhou Island, which is enough to build a large manor.

I don't know if it was because of this that he had a reputation for being good at buying houses and land, anyway, Wu Haogu didn't let him immediately participate in the operation of Christie's, but asked him to accompany Wu Chengzhi to see the house and land...... Now that the martial arts family is developed, it is natural that they can no longer live in the small mansion in the first sweet water lane, but to buy a mansion worth 100,000 yuan in the west lane of Kaifeng Mansion.

In addition, Christie's is also preparing to find land in the west of Kaifeng Mansion to build a calligraphy and painting hall, and the matter of buying land is also handed over to Hua Manlou.

Looking at it, Wu Haogu is planning to train him to become the big shopkeeper of the real estate company......

By the way, in Wu Haogu's plan, the calligraphy and painting hall is the base camp of the "Christie's singing and selling house", and the singing and selling there will not only include calligraphy and painting, but also land, real estate, jewelry, antiques, chariots, horses, slaves and maids, and all other things and ...... Person!

Moreover, the calligraphy and painting hall will also implement a "membership system", and it is best to include the wealthy and powerful people of Kaifeng Mansion, of course...... Song Huizong, that is, Zhao Xiaoyi, must be a member of "Tianzi No. 1"! With his golden signboard, he is not afraid that other powerful people will not come.

And the magnates are here, and the wealthy merchants in Kaifeng Mansion and even other places in the Great Song Dynasty will naturally break their heads and want to join...... Naturally, these big guys are paid members!

In short, once the guild hall is built, it will not only be a business that can make money while lying down, but also a place where the political and business elites of the Great Song Dynasty can be gathered, and the role it can play is really immeasurable.

However, the construction and opening of the hall must be carried out step by step, and it is not possible to rush it now, because Zhao Ji is still the king of Duan, not an official family, it doesn't matter if he is frivolous, it is not good if there are too many and too many communicative characters.

At the moment, what we really need to pay attention to is to carry out business around "Wu Zhao Dou Painting" and "Oiran Dabi".

"Remember, when the tricks are ready, I want to print another album." Wu Haogu asked Ji Yi a somewhat strange question at this time.

"Album?" Ji Yi was stunned, should I talk to Mi Youren about this?

Wu Haogu paused, and then said: "The name of the album is "Oiran". ”

"Oiran? It's ......"

"It's the album of the Oiran ladies of Kaifeng Mansion." Wu Haogu said with a smile, "I think that starting from this Oiran Ladies Competition, we will participate in Christie's Trip and publish a picture album for the Oiran Ladies ...... Isn't there seven floors participating? You can publish one on the first floor, and Master Li and Mo Niangzi will each produce another one, for a total of nine copies. This is still the first phase of the plan. ”

This is going to be a photo album!

At the same time, it is also the first stage for Wuhan University artists to open up in the field of publishing and propaganda of the Great Song Dynasty!

As the greatest artist in the history of mankind, Wu Haogu's thinking is naturally different from ordinary people. His line of "publishing and propagandizing" did not start with a newspaper that shouted for the country and the people, but began with the publication of a picture album of the Oiran of the Qinglou.

What he wants to do is not the "Ta Kung Pao" of the Great Song Dynasty, but the "Playboy" of the Great Song Dynasty.

Wu Haogu continued: "A picture album can have twelve to twenty-four pages, all of which are portraits and introductions of Oiran and ordinary horns, and accompanied by poems...... May I? ”

This is actually an entertainment monthly, and the entertainment stars of the Song Dynasty are actually published on it...... People are "tricks", not "prostitutes", and the sides are different, which is completely two natures.

"It should be possible...... Ji Yi thought for a while and said with a smile, "A lot of money should be able to be sold, the key is that the thing is good and famous." The album is no better than the article, and the words can be read even if the words are almost printed. The album must be well drawn and printed. ”

It is not a problem for Wu Haogu to draw well, and it is well printed...... It shouldn't be too difficult, as long as you spend money to hire the best master to engrave the plate and use the best paper ink, you can always print it.

As for the name, if it is not enough to have the "first person in the painting", add Master Li, Mo Niangzi and the Seven Great Oiran. It costs twenty or thirty taels to have a cup of tea with a corner trick of their level (Mo Niangzi is not a horn trick), and it's too expensive to spend a lot of money to buy a twenty-four-page photo book?

"And those Oiran and Horn Tricks should be happy too, after all, they can make a name for them. But it's inconvenient for me to come forward in this matter, just let Mo Niangzi talk about it. ”

Ji Yi has now hooked up with Zhao Ji and won Zhang Dian's appreciation, it's time to "clean himself".

And he didn't realize that the "Oiran" album was actually a key step in the layout of Wuhao's ancient industry, and if it was done well, it would allow Christie's to achieve leaps and bounds.

The Oiran album itself belongs to the publishing industry, and the upstream of the publishing industry is the printing industry, and the upstream of the printing industry is dyes, inks, and paper. Parallel to the publishing industry are news and advertising, and the downstream of the publishing industry is education.

If it can be developed from top to bottom, it will be a very remarkable thing, and it will also help Wu Haogu to get involved in the political arena of the Great Song Dynasty......

The key to developing this series of industries is money in Wu Haogu's view! Without money, it is impossible to develop so many industries.

Therefore, Wu Haogu decided to start with the easiest part to make money, so that he could quickly open up the situation.

And this breakthrough is definitely not a few pennies a piece, it is a newspaper full of words, it can only be a penny book, which is printed with the "Oiran" album of the delicate Oiran lady!

This is a picture album that can collect money at both ends, and maybe even sell advertisements!

The first nine books are used to make a name, and when the "Oiran" album is played out in Kaifeng Mansion, Wu Haogu is ready to make "Oiran" a monthly magazine, and every month a Oiran girl and twelve golden hairpin girls are launched. Not only the kaku of Kaifeng Mansion can be selected, but also the Meiqi of Daimyofu, Yingtianfu, Luoyangfu, Jingzhaofu, Xuzhou, Haizhou, Mizhou, Yangzhou, and even Jiangnan and Bashu can also be selected.

And...... You have to do PPC!

The selected "Oiran" and "Golden Hairpin" also had to make a free model, and the painters sent by Christie's painted a photo of them, and hung them on display in Christie's studio. If it is really popular in the future, this photo will be sold again......

In short, the profitability of the "Oiran" album should be absolutely guaranteed.

The profit of "Oiran" can guarantee Christie's investment in the printing industry. When its own printing workshop was "raised", Christie's would be able to publish "New Year's Pictures", "Comic Books", "Pictorials" and various books, and then use this as a basis to enter the press and publishing industry.

At the same time, after the development of the printing industry, Christie's can also invest in the research and development of "color printing" technology, "color printing" can extend to "dyes" and "printing and dyeing", and "printing and dyeing" can cross the industry to enter the textile industry - in fact, painters and "dye" and "printing and dyeing" are not separated by a mountain, and the pigments and dyes they use in the painting process are actually similar things. And coloring silk paintings is actually "dyeing".

If Christie's can really use the Oiran catalogue to become a giant in the publishing and printing, dyes (pigments) and textiles in the next few years or even ten years.

Christie's is now at the door of capitalist industry and commerce......

The future grand exhibition is promising, but before the big show, Wu Haogu and Christie's are still facing personnel difficulties.

Christie's background is too thin, and there is no accumulation of talent at all.

Thinking of personnel issues, Wu Haogu couldn't help frowning a little, and he said to everyone: "Now the business of the firm is not worried, it is nothing more than a matter of earning more and earning less...... But there are still not enough people. In my opinion, in addition to the sales business, the flyer business, and the construction of the merchant's hall, it is the personnel that is the most important. You have to set up a ...... in charge of personnel Room, let's call it room. Under the firm is the department.

Now it is necessary to build the accounting room, the personnel room, the singing and selling room, and the merchant hall room first, and later build a picture book room, a calligraphy and painting room, and a printing and engraving room. What do you think, Dalang? ”

"I'm also thinking about this," Su Dalang thought about it and said, "The account room is still quite good, I am familiar with the affairs of singing and selling, and I will come to the housekeeper of singing and selling by myself, and the merchant house can be called Zixu (Hua Manshan) to manage, as for the personnel room, ......"

"Yuan Hui," Wu Haogu smiled and looked at his student Mi Youren, "Come on, you will definitely do it." ”

"Teacher, I'm a prisoner of the country." Mi Youren shook his head, as if he had some concerns.

"The prisoner of the country can't take care of his own business?" Wu Haogu smiled and said, "Jasie has to do it, your Mi family has a share!"

And I didn't ask you to use your real name. Just use the name Mi Xiaoyi, and don't want you to do it for a long time, just help me do it for a few months. Now, after all, it is a commercial house, and the personnel room is the most difficult time to do, only you can come. ”

Mi Youren has been a master painter (dean of the Great Song Academy of Fine Arts) and a squire of the military department (deputy minister of national defense), so a small business person can't manage it?

Moreover, the main task of Christie's personnel office now is to dig up people's corners. And the corners of private people are definitely not as easy to dig as the corners of feudalism in the Great Song Dynasty.

The focus of Christie's poaching must be aimed at various handicraft workshops in the government camp. And the people who master these workshops are either the eunuchs in the palace or the "official N generation" who are in the shadows. Mi Youren is familiar with these "N generations", and digging up some people will not hurt the harmony.
