As long as you are a businessman, there is no one who does not like to make money. As long as they have enough money, they can do anything.
This is an iron rule proposed by Ban Xian.
And this iron law has been verified by Wang Wan and Feng Quli.
As soon as these two people heard that there was money to be made, they immediately acted like they were very interested.
They asked the salesman: "What profitable business do you have?"
The salesman said: "Our Yali Daily business is booming now. This is the circulation of our newspaper this month. You two adults can take a look."
Wang Wan and Feng Quli started to watch.
Although the two of them are businessmen, there are differences between businessmen and businessmen. They are separated by a mountain.
But I can understand a little bit about the general things. This graph looks like the trend is really good.
The salesman added: "This is a graph comparing it with other newspapers in the same industry. You two adults can take a look."
With comparison, it is very intuitive.
Wang Wan immediately said: "The momentum of your Yali Daily is indeed good. But... in terms of size and profitability, it is far behind Xianyang Daily and Jiangjun Tabloid."
The salesman coughed dryly and said, "You two adults are really discerning."
"Yes, our Yali Daily is indeed far behind Xianyang Daily and Jiangjun Tabloid in terms of size. But this is understandable."
"After all, these two newspapers, one has the support of Exiled Immortal, and the other has the support of General Wang. Compared with them, we are really insignificant."
"However, you two adults should not just look at the current situation, but also look to the future, ten years from now, decades from now."
"Let's not talk about the distance, let's just talk about Shang Jun's other courtyard. Who would have thought that in just a few years, he could be as rich as the country and have a mountain of gold and silver in his family?"
"We at Yali Daily can't say that we have made rapid progress like Exiled Immortal, but our ability to make money is obvious to all."
"It is better to provide help in times of need than to add icing on the cake. If the money of several adults is placed in the general's tabloid, it will be like a pebble in the vast ocean, and it will not show anything at all."
"If it were invested in our Yali Daily, that would be great."
"One day, Yali Daily will become famous and prosperous, won't the rewards for you be very generous?"
Wang Wan and Feng Quli looked at each other, both of them showing scheming smiles.
Wang Wan said to the salesperson: "How much does one share of Yali Daily cost now?"
Salesman: "Huh?"
Feng Quili said: "If I take out one hundred yi gold, how many shares can I exchange for it? What percentage?"
Wang Wan said: "Do we have the right to participate in decision-making?"
Salesman: "Huh?"
Feng Quili said: "If Yali Daily operates illegally and violates laws and regulations, can we withdraw our investment at any time?"
Salesman: "Huh?"
Wang Wan said: "If Yali Daily transfers assets and squanders our investment, how should we deal with it?"
The salesman broke into a cold sweat.
Hit the snake seven inches, and the words of these two people clearly hit the seven inches.
The salesman suddenly felt that these two were not easy to fool.
When I deceived Mr. Qi before, I did it casually. How come here, these two people are so smart?
They are both people who have been officials in the court for a long time. Why are these two people not pedantic at all? Do you accept new things so quickly?
The salesman suddenly didn't want to raise money with them. These two people seemed to be very difficult to deal with.
But... Yali Daily can't survive without financing. The primary purpose now is to occupy market share and then make money.
When you are just starting out, there are many places where you need money.
Thinking of this, the salesman gritted his teeth and said to the two adults: "All of this is easy to discuss."
So, he sat down and started negotiating with Wang Wan and Feng Quli.
The salesman is actually the founder of Yali Daily, but he did not invest in it at the beginning, so he has always appeared as a soldier, so it gives people the impression that his level is very low, but this is not the case. This person is very powerful.
In addition, the editor-in-chief of Yali Daily has promised to the salesperson that if he brings in a few more investments, he will give the salesperson some dry shares.
By then, the salesperson will be considered one of the bosses.
This is actually pretty good.
These three people discussed it all night long.
By daybreak, everything was finally settled.
The salesman bowed his hands and walked out of the door.
His eyes were red, he was sweating profusely, and his whole body seemed to have been washed with water.
He held on to the wall and walked with a limp, feeling weak and light under his feet.
After all, this night's battle of wits and courage took too much energy.
The salesman shook his head, breathed a long sigh of relief, and muttered: "I can't do this kind of thing anymore, it's too hard on my brain, it's really too hard on my brain."
Wang Wan and Feng Quili were sitting in the room, lying around and panting.
Wang Wan said: "You have invested so much money, don't lose it."
Feng Quili said: "Probably... no."
Wang Wan said: "Recently, Yali Daily is competing with Shangjun Courtyard, and I am a little worried. Over the years, how many of those who have opposed Huaiguzi have had a good ending?"
Feng Quili closed his eyes slightly and said, "You can't say that. Do you remember that there used to be a tabloid writer who made up random things and wrote about the new inventions of Shangjun Courtyard?"
"Actually, they were all written blindly, and Huaiguzi finally found out. However, Huaiguzi did not do anything to this man. Instead, he helped him set up a newspaper to write such stories."
"In fact, some of the predictions in his story have been fulfilled by Shangjun Courtyard."
"Isn't this person's outcome pretty good?"
Wang Wan said: "So... what do you want to say?"
Feng Quili said: "What I mean is that although Huaiguzi is shameless, disowns his relatives, and is ruthless. But this person also has a problem, that is, he is only interested in profit."
"Why did he keep that person? It was just because the story of that person was beneficial to him."
"As for now, Huaiguzi is vigorously promoting running newspapers. There are more people running newspapers, and correspondingly, there are more people reading newspapers."
"Huaiguzi is not stupid. He knows that it is not a good thing for one family to dominate."
"So I, according to my estimation, Yali Daily will be fine. Who hasn't been naughty at the beginning? As long as there are sufficient funds, we will slowly get back on track. By then, we will make money Big money.”
Wang Wan closed her eyes slightly, sighed, and said, "I hope so. Anyway, I didn't spend all my wealth, leaving myself a way out."
Feng Quili chuckled and said, "I also kept a little."
…………
"Brother Li, have you ever felt that the newspaper market has become increasingly chaotic recently?" Li Shui said to Li Xin.
Li Xin hummed, nodded and said, "Yes. Recently, tabloids have indeed sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, but these tabloids are also very irresponsible. Some are talking nonsense, and some are talking nonsense. All kinds of things. Irresponsible words abound.”
Li Shui said: "I plan to take action and rectify it."
Li Xin asked curiously: "How do you plan to fix it?"
Li Shui chuckled: "It's actually very simple. Find a typical example and punish him severely. Others will be afraid and naturally they won't dare."
Li Xin nodded and said, "So, have you found this typical example?"
Li Shui hummed and said, "I've probably found it. For example, Yali Daily. This group of people is very arrogant, beat them to the ground, and other people will be afraid and don't dare to do anything wrong."
Li Xin: "..."
He looked at Li Shui and said faintly: "Brother Huai, is this... public revenge for private revenge?"
Li Shui coughed dryly and said, "Brother Li, don't talk about me being so noble. I just want to avenge myself and do something beneficial to the people."
Li Xin: "..."
…………
Early in the morning, it was dark.
The people of Xianyang City have already come out for activities.
Cleaners came out to sweep the streets, vegetable farmers carried vegetables into the city, and dung pickers carried dung buckets outside.
All in all, it was a busy scene along the way.
Mr. Qi had also changed his clothes and walked slowly towards the door.
I don’t know why, but Mr. Qi always felt an ominous premonition today, as if something was about to happen.
But... what could actually happen?
Mr. Qi couldn't tell.
If he fulfills his duties, never takes bribes or engages in corruption or malfeasance, he can be regarded as a good official, so what else is there to fear?
Thinking of this, Mr. Qi forced himself to calm down.
It's okay, it must be okay. If I behave upright and stand up straight, what can happen to me?
So Master Qi got on the carriage.
Mr. Qi was one of the few people who went to court in a carriage.
Recently, it has become popular to go to court in a wheelchair, and it is also an electric wheelchair.
Some people compare wheelchairs to the compass invented by the Yellow Emperor.
This is really unreasonable.
In Lord Qi's opinion, this is simply treason.
What's even more outrageous is that people like Li Xinhuai Guzi also add glass to some wheelchairs, making them feel like they are staying in a small house.
Isn't this unnecessary?
Isn't it good to sit on the back of a horse and stagger upward? Why do you have to use a wheelchair?
Master Qi complained all the way.
When he walked to the door of the Assembly Hall, he found that everyone was pointing at him.
Mr. Qi coughed lightly, and then called a better official over: "What's going on?"
This official could only join the court as an official after being recommended by Mr. Qi.
Therefore, when faced with Mr. Qi's inquiry, this person would never dare to neglect it.
He trotted over and whispered: "Sir, they are all discussing the matter of Young Master Hundan."
Mr. Qi: "..."
What? What kind of soulless young master?
It’s the content of Yali Daily again.
Master Qi wanted to deny it, but he gritted his teeth and remained silent.
His son turned into a ghost and had a child with his daughter-in-law.
This is enough to be talked about by the people of Xianyang, and it doesn't sound very good when it is spread.
However, it is better than having a child after three years of widowhood.
It was the lesser of two evils, Master Qi decided to hold his nose and endure it.
This official is also quite gossipy.
He looked at Mr. Qi curiously, and then said in a low voice: "Sir, are the rumors true? The young master really once..."
Mr. Qi coughed dryly and said lightly: "What's wrong if it's true?"
The official was stunned for a moment and said, "This... this is really magical."
Mr. Qi hummed and said: "There are indeed many magical things in this world. If an immortal can descend from the sky, can't the soul of the dead reappear?"
Li Shui was whispering to Li Xin nearby, but when he heard Master Qi talking, he immediately came over with a smile.
And Li Xin, who was afraid of chaos in the world, also followed.
Mr. Qi suddenly had a headache and suddenly felt a little regretful.
If I had known earlier, I would not have provoked these two people.
Once these two guys get into trouble, who knows what they will say?
Li Shui smiled and said: "Master Qi, have you heard of a story?"
Lord Qi said calmly: "You haven't told this story yet, how do I know if I have heard of it?"
Li Shui coughed dryly and said: "Actually, the story is very simple. This story tells that there is a hunter who holds a good carved bow in his hand."
"Speaking of which, this fine bow is very gorgeous with carved dragons and phoenixes. Not only is it gorgeous, it's also inlaid with gold. It's very precious. It's not only precious, but it's also a perfect bow. It's a peerless bow."
"One day, this hunter took this superb bow and went into the mountains to hunt. He saw a fierce tiger in front of him."
"What a fierce tiger. It has a layer of fur that looks like gold. If you kill this tiger and peel off the skin, it will be priceless."
"So, the hunter took out his bow and touched the quiver. Oops, he forgot to bring arrows."
Mr. Qi: "..."
Li Shui continued: "At the same time, the tiger also discovered the hunter."
"The tiger has been in the mountains for a long time and knows a few things. When he sees the hunter's work, he knows that this guy is going to take action."
"Then the tiger suddenly pounced on the hunter."
"At the critical moment, the hunter couldn't help but pull his good bow. Then with a whoosh, a sharp arrow pierced the tiger's heart. The tiger died just like that."
Master Qi said: "Didn't you just say that he didn't bring an arrow?"
Li Shui said: "Yes. So Master Qi, does he know why this is?"
Mr. Qi was stunned for a moment and asked: "Could it be that after the treasure bow is drawn, arrows will naturally shoot out?"
Li Shui chuckled: "No."
He asked Li Xin next to him: "Brother Li, do you know why?"
Li Xin said: "Is there another hunter next to him who shot an arrow for him?"
Li Xin nodded: "Not bad."
Mr. Qi: "..."
What is all this nonsense?
Immediately afterwards, Li Shui smiled and bowed his hand to Mr. Qi: "Tong said someone in the family is pregnant? Congratulations, congratulations."
Mr. Qi: "..."
When banishing immortals, why are there no prefaces and no follow-up words? Tell a story inexplicably and change the topic inexplicably. What the hell.
