After the hot air balloon floated over Qingzhou City, there was a lively discussion in the city about what it was. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, the newspaper of the next day completely made the people understand what it was, and the term hot air balloon has become a popular and fashionable term in Qingzhou.

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

"This hot air balloon is something flying in the sky, probably like a ball." A Qingzhou native replied proudly.

"Flying balls?" Outsiders were puzzled.

"Of course, even pigs can fly in Qingzhou, and our Qingzhou is a place where anything can happen, this is what the newspaper said." Qingzhou people have strong self-confidence.

The merchant smiled awkwardly, in his opinion, the people of Qingzhou were sick, and they were not lightly ill.

He had heard people discuss the issue many times along the way, but everyone's answers were different, which made him more and more confused.

Just as he was wondering, he saw a crowd of people suddenly cry out in surprise, and at the same time look up at the sky.

He looked over and his jaw dropped in shock.

I saw a huge sphere floating slowly in the sky, with a huge banner pasted on top of the hot air balloon, and three vertical banners hanging on the hanging basket below.

The banner reads: Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce sells mirrors, perfumes, drunk Qingzhou liquor, want to buy as soon as possible, the address of the Chamber of Commerce ......"

The huge balloon does not fly high, it is very conspicuous, and the moment they see the hot air balloon, they also see the advertisement on the hot air balloon.

The whole person of the foreign businessman was stunned, he came here, is this the Qingzhou that businessmen flock to? It's really something extraordinary.

The people of Qingzhou were also shocked, they didn't expect that the hot air balloon could be used like this.

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

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

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

At the same time, all kinds of eyeliners in Qingzhou City also passed back the strange news of hot air balloons, and at the same time collected all aspects of information about hot air balloons.

However, Li San is free to deal with these things, while Xiao Ming is busy dealing with businessmen, after all, he still has the name of the president of the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce.

"Your Highness, this hot air balloon is really wonderful, I don't know if Your Highness can also hang the name of Cao's Qianzhuang on it and write the business matters of Cao's Qianzhuang."

Cao Zhengyang found the Qi Wangfu for the first time.

The Chamber of Commerce he went to first, and after learning that the Chamber of Commerce had no right to intervene, he immediately came to the Qi Palace's Mansion to visit Xiao Ming.

Li Kaiyuan didn't understand the matter of advertising, and Xiao Ming naturally didn't worry about handing it over to him.

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

After Xiao Ming changed the soap technology, there were no less than 50 soap shops outside Qingzhou.

These fifty companies all want to sell their soap more, and then the effect of advertising will be important, who seizes the opportunity, who will get the initiative, will get more profits.

"This ......" is in business, Xiao Ming naturally wants to raise the price, he hesitated and said: "A hot air balloon flight costs a lot, this is ......"

Cao Zhengyang was already prepared in his heart, and he said: "Your Highness, although you say it bluntly, Cao will naturally not let His Highness break the bank. ”

"In this case, this king said, the thing hanging on this hot air balloon is called an advertisement, as the name suggests, it is widely advertised, and now since you need this advertisement, the cost of this advertisement is also very different."

"Your Highness, please speak."

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

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

He smiled and said, "Your Highness, why bother so much, Cao Mou has all the covers." ”

Xiao Ming sneered in his heart, and said in his heart, you sent it to the door by yourself, the ten-meter diameter hot air balloon plus the position of the hanging basket, there are thirty advertising places in a hot air balloon.

He said: "Actually, there are not many, hot air balloons will travel around the city once every ten days, three times a month, and you must know that as long as the hot air balloon appears, it will attract onlookers from the people and businessmen." ”

Cao Zhengyang nodded.

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

Cao Zhengyang almost said, "You robbed the money." Reacting, he immediately fell silent.

Xiao Ming knew that 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 six hundred taels of silver for one time per advertising space, this price is not expensive, and the worst advertising space is only about three hundred taels of silver three times a month." ”

Cao Zhengyang nodded, it is really not expensive to repay this advertising space in this way.

It's just that Haikou has already boasted, and the Cao family money village is about to open, he gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, 50,000 is 50,000, this is the silver ticket of our Cao family bank, and you can go to the money village to exchange silver at any time with the silver." ”

Xiao Ming took the silver ticket handed over by Cao Zhengyang, and his heart was comfortable and at the same time a little dazed, he deeply felt the strength of the Cao family's financial resources.

This silver ticket is basically equivalent to modern paper money.

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

However, he was not worried, it would not be long before he would issue his own currency, but he would have to store a large amount of gold and silver before issuing it.

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

He had a clear memory of the locations of the gold and silver mines in various places, but in order to obtain them, he had to defeat the local Western colonists.

After sending Cao Zhengyang away, Xiao Ming met with other businessmen and introduced them to this kind of advertisement, and the businessmen generally received the advertisements very quickly.

However, Cao Zhengyang was rich and wealthy, and he contracted advertising for three months.

Busy until the afternoon, the businessmen who came to visit left one after another, and then Xiao Ming took the silver and went to Bowen College.

He fulfilled his promise that all the advertising revenue would be used for the education of the University Academy, whether it was the purchase of experimental materials or the improvement of the living standards of the students, or the purchase of special school uniforms for the students.
