"If you do it for me, it won't cost the court a penny! I'll pay for all the expenses! In other words, I'll do the printing!"
What he did shocked the two of them. Isn't this doing charity?
Mrs. Yang said anxiously: "My child, you can't be brave. Even if the Shengtang Group is now making a lot of money, that's not how the money is spent. This is the Tang Dynasty's business, not yours alone. This should be left to the imperial court." Let’s solve it!”
She was right, national affairs should be resolved by the country, and Li Shimin should come forward.
But Li Min thought differently. Since it was a newspaper, he had to have the final say.
So he added: "Of course, I will be the sole agent for the official newspaper. I will pay for the paper, labor costs, etc.! There are eight sides of the newspaper, one of which will be left blank for me to operate. All the profits will be It belongs to me. Under the same conditions, I can print the newspaper and provide the paper. As long as the content to be announced by the court is sent to me on a regular basis."
Li Min's operation made the two of them even more confused. Isn't this a loss-making business?
There is a blank side, what is it for?
The ancients did not understand the purpose of this.
Why do this?
Is there any benefit to him?
They couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they tried.
Queen Changsun asked: "Is there any mystery in this?"
"Yes. Even though I'm free, I can make money through advertising!"
This is what Li Min learned from the future of advertising.
When the audience is large enough, that’s when your advertising can be maximized.
While people enjoy great convenience, the risk of being harvested will also increase.
The charm of advertising is very great, and some even have the power to bring people back to life.
An advertisement can even revive a bank that is on the verge of bankruptcy.
What is advertising?
The two of them were even more confused.
So Li Min explained the principle again.
With these advertising revenue, the newspaper is free. He is also responsible for his own profits and losses.
In fact, his real purpose is that if he controls the distribution channels of newspapers, wouldn't he control the direction of public opinion in the entire country?
As long as he wants, he can even distort Li Shimin's meaning.
But that's for the future.
After having the newspaper, it will be easier for him to expand in the future.
As soon as a newspaper advertisement is published. No matter what he does, he can always make a profit.
Of course, Concubine Yang and Empress Changsun didn't understand the secret of this operation at all?
They looked at the development of the whole thing with ancient thinking.
But he took the direction of modern people.
Let the whole thing develop in the direction you want.
Li Min talked a lot more, which made the two of them confused.
Finally, Li Min and the two of them said, "You go back and talk to him. Do you want to let him go? Anyway, I have nothing to lose. There are also official things, which must be defined by their official names. I suggest that they be designated as Zhenguan." Report."
Zhenguan Bao is a good name.
After the two looked at each other, they seemed to have made a decision.
Queen Changsun said: "Then we will go back and ask His Majesty for instructions to see if he is willing."
What a joke! Are you still willing?
It's too late for Li Shimin to be happy, so is he still willing?
For something that works without spending any money, why not?
At the same time, he is Li Shimin's son. He has no reason not to trust his son, right?
And during this period of time, everything he did was for Datang.
Before, I was only disrespectful to Li Shimin and did not cause any substantial harm to him.
"Okay! I hope the sooner the better, otherwise I will have to print ancient books and may not have time to print these newspapers."
"Of course, the two of us will go back right away."
After that, the two went directly into the palace.
Li Min started busy with his own things again.
At this moment, he was holding a yellow thing in his hand. This thing would change the future again.
…
Tai Chi Palace.
Queen Changsun and Concubine Yang were standing in front of Li Shimin.
When they talked to Li Shimin about what happened just now.
Li Shimin was shocked.
"What? Did that kid really say that?"
"Your Majesty! That's right. He said he could print for the imperial court for free!",,
"There are no such good things in this world. Is he stupid? Or is his brain out of whack? Or does he have other ideas?"
It was obvious that he didn't believe Li Min's promise.
Queen Changsun said at this time:
"Your Majesty! I thought Li Min was thinking about the Tang Dynasty. Everything he did after leaving the palace was for the sake of the people!
Regarding the last plague, if it hadn't been for him, many people would have died in the entire Tang Dynasty! In the end, he put in the effort and didn’t get paid. He even took His Majesty's face into consideration and asked the court to provide money and effort, so that the people would not think that the court was inactive.
So I thought he was just doing good things, not making money or not. I don’t understand, but I always believe that at least he won’t lose. "
Concubine Yang also came out and said:
"Yes, there is no need for that child to frame anyone! Moreover, he is also your son. Although this child has a bad temper, he is not bad-hearted. He has not done anything particularly outrageous. And this time his journal is hot.
If you add newspapers, you will definitely get good results! At the same time, it was confirmed that this would definitely solve His Majesty's problems, coupled with the implementation of his punctuation marks. The certificates issued by the imperial court must be accurately transmitted to the grassroots. "
The two of them persuaded and talked about his various good qualities, and Li Shimin's ears softened as he listened.
He directly changed his words and said: "I am also afraid that I will not make money. Although he has such a large group, the group has expenses every day. The printing volume of six times a month is not a small amount! That is a huge expenditure. Even if he can survive one year, two years, five years, or ten years?"
Regarding this point, Li Shimin obviously did not believe that this newspaper could make money.
At this time, Queen Changsun asked: "If it doesn't work, does your Majesty have a better way?"
This is soul-like torture. Li Shimin stopped talking.
Yes, he had no choice.
Concubine Yang said: "Your Majesty, why not let him try? Just one month! If it doesn't work, stop the loss in time."
"Whether you try or not, whether you make money or not, is not what I worry about."
There is something in Li Shimin's words.
Then, Queen Changsun said: "Is Your Majesty worried that he will influence current affairs politics? And all the power of public opinion?"
After all, they are still a couple!
Empress Changsun saw through what Li Shimin was thinking.
He only nodded slightly.
"Yes, although it is announced in the name of the imperial court, there are many things printed on his side that are beyond my control! Therefore, I think this matter is a bit risky!"
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Yang wanted to slap him in the face.
Was what you just said was in vain?
