Inside the carriage.
Cui Changhe asked: "Senior Brother, when will Junior Sister's story book be released?"
"In a few days, we are rushing to print it."
"Okay, remember to give me a copy when you get out, and I'll also read my little junior sister's story book." After his health has improved, Cui Changhe's heart knot seems to have untied a little, and his mind has broadened a lot; it's not like he was so nervous when we first met. He had a straight face, his brows were full of depression, and his expression was not good.
Now Cui Changhe is in good health and has a rosy complexion. When his body is relaxed, so are his people.
"You are indispensable. You should read our junior sister's masterpiece; it should be useful to you. After reading many things in it, I feel that my mind has been broadened." Entering the world of those immortals is very exciting. yearn for.
Turning around, Ji Jin asked again: "Is there a price for junior sister's dialogue?"
"How much does Senior Brother think it should be?" Among them, Ji Jin contributed the manpower and material resources, so he should know the appropriate price better.
"According to me, one tael of silver per book, deducting the capital expenses, the profit per book is 768 taels."
Cui Changhe was stunned and asked: "Is writing storybooks so profitable? The net profit from one book is more than 700 taels, and two books are more than one tael of silver. If a hundred copies are sold out, how much is it? More than 700 taels of silver." "
"Then it depends on who wrote the script." Ji Jin said proudly: "Are our junior sisters ordinary people? You haven't read what she wrote. After reading it, you have to admire it. In short, I am convinced by our junior sister. The ideas, those plots are something we can’t even imagine.”
"Then I have to read it carefully." It is definitely not because of the friendship between the same disciples that the senior brother can admire him so much.
Minghua saw them finish talking before she spoke, "Is one tael of silver too expensive? Some people are reluctant to buy it."
"The initial sales volume will definitely not be able to keep up, but as long as there are people willing to buy and look at it; let's talk about it in the circle of powerful young masters, the sales volume will soon increase. Don't worry, little junior sister, we have plenty of time. As long as the sales volume of this storybook increases, if you write storybooks in the future, the supply will exceed the demand." Ji Jin analyzed it for her bit by bit, "You have to know that the capital is the capital of the country; the economy is prosperous, and one or two silver dollars can buy a copy. There are so many evocative storybooks that people are willing to spend money on them.”
"As for those you say you can't afford, most of them are students from poor families who are rushing to take exams in other places, or ordinary people living at the bottom. But you have to know that the people we are selling to are not ordinary people. We have to find a way in the circle of the rich and powerful. As long as the rich and powerful buy If there are more, it will spread among the people."
"Moreover, I have asked people to print 100,000 copies and plan to sell them to various provinces. When the time comes, the sales channels will be wider, and you can make more money."
After saying this, Minghua stopped talking; she was not good at doing business, "Then leave it to senior brother, I have no objection."
"Hey, that's right. You heard me right; the study under my name also has a collection of story books for sale. Most of them are buyouts. The amount of one-time payment has nothing to do with the author. The best-known What kind of words are easy to sell, and what kind of words can capture people’s appetite.”
Ji Jin said happily, but Cui Changhe listened seriously. He only had a small village in his name; it was not valuable, but it just looked good.
Xiaozhuangzi was given to me by the head of the Cui family. It had little output, so it was at least an asset if I left it there.
"Elder brother, I have a little money in my hand, what industry do you think I can make more money in?" Cui Changhe asked.
"When it comes to money-making businesses, restaurants and brothels are definitely the most profitable. You can also make money from buying and selling overseas things, and it's huge profits." Ji Jin lowered his voice and said to the two of them: "This matter cannot be discussed outside. Buying and selling overseas things is done quietly; you two can't talk about it."
"Don't tell me, don't tell me." Minghua waved her hand.
Cui Changhe echoed, "Don't tell me."
"I'm telling you, my Ji family is buying and selling this kind of stuff, but it's done in a secluded way, and no one except the previous heads of the family and the young master knows about it. I'm only telling you two, if the second junior brother wants to make money, you See how much money you have and give it to me first. When you take the money out and make a trip back, it will be a lot of money. When you have more money, you can set up a shop in Beijing to sell rouge and gouache."
"The women in the capital love beauty and use a lot of rouge and gouache every day. If you run it well, it will be a profitable business. Moreover, the raw materials for rouge and gouache are not expensive, but they are a little troublesome."
Cui Changhe was obviously excited, but he had nothing. There was a way to make money, but without the formula, his excitement was in vain.
"I don't have the formula. Let's put the money with senior brother to help make some money."
Minghua's eyes turned, "I do have some rouge and gouache formulas in my hand."
Ji Jin and Cui Changhe both turned their heads and looked at her in surprise, "Where do you get the recipe?"
"I read it from a book, but that book is gone. Now I am the only one who remembers the formula. I didn't think much about it at the time. I can remember things I only read once. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to give you the formula now. Gotta give it.”
"Little junior sister, why are you so smart?"
Ji Jin stretched out his hand to reach the top of her head, but Minghua quickly dodged it, "Did you wash your hands after lunch? Touch my head."
"Little junior sister, don't be angry, isn't this too exciting!" Ji Jin said cheerfully: "Then junior sister will come up with the formula, and the second junior brother will buy shares, and I will be responsible for personnel issues and raw materials. Do you think it is feasible?"
Minghua glanced at them, there was nothing wrong with such a good opportunity to make money.
"How will the dividends be distributed?"
"Minghua comes up with the formula and takes 30% of it. Second Junior Brother, how much money can you put in to buy the shares?"
Cui Changhe stretched out his hand to count.
"Five hundred taels?"
"Five thousand taels!" Cui Changhe took back his hand and said helplessly.
Ji Jin's eyes lit up, "Then I will also contribute five thousand taels, and I will be responsible for the operation of manpower and material resources. Therefore, I will take 40%, and the second junior brother will take 30%."
"You don't need to give me 30%, 20% is enough." It was obvious that Ji Jin was being humble and Cui Changhe was not stupid.
"Thirty percent, you are the same as Junior Sister; this is considered private property shared by the three of us. Second Junior Brother, please don't refuse." Ji Jin went to ask Minghua again, "Little Junior Sister, do you agree?"
Minghua nodded, "Okay."
"Look, the junior sister has agreed." Ji Jin smiled, thinking only about the second junior brother who was short of money.
Cui Changhe shook his head and insisted: "I only want 20%, and I don't want more; and, senior brother, I want to give you five thousand taels first, so that I can have more money after a trip."
After a quick trip, I would have about ten thousand taels when I came back. If I put in five thousand taels, I would still have money in hand to turn around.
"Okay! No problem, let's take it and look through it first; I'm also starting to prepare the rouge and gouache. When they come back, we should be able to open the business." Both parties worked together.
Minghua was very excited after hearing this, but she didn't have much money in hand; the Huaben dividends would not be available until next month, so she was destined to miss out on a great opportunity to make money.
