Regardless of the fact that he was on duty at the moment, Gao Qiu rushed home angrily, muttering "Don't burn". The drive that originally took an hour took him half an hour to get back.
"Butler, butler, where did he die?"
When the housekeeper heard the news, he came over and saw the master in a hurry. He was very puzzled and asked, "Master, why is it so urgent?"
Gao Qiu ignored his words at all, grabbed his hand like crazy, and asked urgently: "Has that thing been burned? How much has been burned?"
"I'm talking about paper, paper!"
he repeated loudly.
"Paper?" The butler suddenly realized, "As per the master's instructions, I burned some in the morning. It is lunch time now, so I must be burning it as well."
"Master, don't worry, I will try my best to let them burn these papers in the shortest possible time."
The housekeeper's idea was simple. Since the master had a headache looking at this thing, he should burn it as soon as possible.
"As big as you can, hurry up and ask the kitchen to stop burning paper. You must hurry up. No, I will go there myself."
After he finished speaking, he started running faster than the butler, which was very out of proportion to his usual speed.
The housekeeper was puzzled. He felt that the master was a little abnormal today. Why should he do such a small thing in person? Couldn't he just give an order?
When the housekeeper rushed to the kitchen, he saw the master lying on the ground and roaring like a father. Several servants shrank in fear, and the half-burned paper was pulled out of the stove by the master. Keep talking.
"Money! This is all money! You... are so wasteful."
The housekeeper is confused and they are ruined. Isn’t this useless? Not to mention a prodigal!
Suddenly, Gao Qiu stopped roaring, rolled his eyes, and immediately ordered the housekeeper.
"You, immediately take all the gold our family has and buy back all the paper you can buy."
ah! The housekeeper continued to be confused, and his head felt like it was filled with mush.
Buy paper? Isn't that useless? Why did you buy it? Could it be that he was infected by the young master and became a prodigal?
Of course, he would not say this, so he did it in confusion.
Half an hour later, the housekeeper came back to report that the paper had been sold out.
Gao Qiu was so angry that he went crazy.
The butler was puzzled and asked cautiously: "Master, what are you doing? This is not unbearable. Why are you so discouraged?"
Gao Qiu roared, "What do you know? This is all money! Money! Oh, it's all my fault. If you knew how expensive this thing is, you should let the rich buy more."
ah!
The housekeeper was still confused. These words were completely different from before. Didn't he call the young master a prodigal son because he bought these things? Why did you ask me to buy more?
The master's brain circuit is a bit unpredictable.
...
Xiao He didn't know what happened. The paper that was sold in limited quantities these days was sold out in less than half an hour. First it was the man named Han, and then some scholars. In short, according to the limited quantity, these people could no longer be accommodated.
Xiao He thought about whether it was time to relax the sales restrictions, so he went to seek Li Zhao's opinion.
The sand gun had been built, and Li Zhao was very happy. He suddenly heard what Xiao He said and praised Xiao He very much. He secretly thought that he was worthy of being one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty. He could even think of sales restrictions.
"Don't be impatient before you whet their appetite. In fact, the best publicity is for them to promote it themselves."
Li Zhao answered Xiao He.
"The best publicity is for the distinguished guests to promote themselves?" Xiao He fell into deep thought and suddenly realized after a moment.
yes!
He hasn't done anything these days, but there are so many people vying to buy it. Does that mean they have already promoted it on their own?
"Don't open the door these days. Let them wait for a while, and then open the door when the time is right. I believe it will make many people anxious, and then... haha."
"Of course, the workshop still needs to be expanded. I believe it won't be long before our production is in short supply."
Xiao He couldn't understand what the young master said. Now it was clear that all the items were sold within an hour of opening. Isn't this a good sign? Why don't you open the door?
Suddenly, something he had read in economics came to his mind.
Old industries will be replaced by new industries, which will take time to brew.
Yes! Isn’t it just using time to brew after being closed for a few days?
Xiao He suddenly realized it and was about to expand the workshop. At this time, the young master asked:
"Also, have those three classics been printed?"
"They have all been printed. According to your instructions, a thousand copies of each have been printed."
Li Zhao had given this order before. After making the paper, he started printing.
"Well, when we open the door, we will sell these three books together."
...
After Gao Fugui was released, he immediately went to the paper room to check, but found that half of it was missing. He was so angry that he went to the housekeeper and beat him.
The housekeeper couldn't express his sorrow, but Gao Qiu's attitude towards his son changed 180 degrees, and he actually praised his son for being smart.
Gao Fugui Zhanger was confused, but after asking, he found out that the paper was selling so well that all the paper shops in the eastern suburbs were sold out and closed for two days.
"Now the people from the Shaofu come to the Dongjiao Paper Shop all day long, with the intention of taking over all the paper in it."
"I don't know who is the big talker. I heard that this paper is very practical, so I rushed to buy it and give it a try. No, in just two days, the appearance of the paper has spread to many corners, and it will continue to spread. .”
"Nowadays, many people are wandering around Dongjiao Paper Shop every day, just wanting to buy some from them."
The housekeeper was afraid that the young master still didn't understand the situation, so he told him all the information he had learned in the past two days.
"Is this true?" Gao Fugui didn't know whether he was excited or puzzled. He walked alone. The next moment, he ordered the housekeeper:
"Immediately arrange for people to sell all the paper I bought back."
Gao Qiu was unhappy, "No, it's such good paper! How can I sell it? I have to use it myself." In the past two days, after the Dongjiao paper shop closed, everyone was asking about the condition of the paper. Someone exposed that the Gao family had Many of them hinted to Gao Qiu and the others that they needed to buy some.
Gao Qiu was so happy that he would not buy it. Of course, he would not buy such a new thing. If you just leave it alone, it will only give you face. How can you sell something that has face?
"Also, aren't you preparing for the imperial examination? With these things, if you work harder, you might be able to be among the best."
This was one of the reasons why Gao Qiu objected.
Gao Fugui rolled his eyes at his father and said angrily: "Why do I need so much paper! Even the imperial examination won't use that much."
"Besides, since someone is eyeing the paper, it shows that they need it, why not sell it. Of course, we can raise the price, for example, a piece of paper is one and a half taels."
"One piece is one Qin and a half Liang?" Gao Qiu's eyes widened and he began to count on his fingers.
According to this, isn’t this double the profit? Although I burned some, I can still make a profit at this price!
After the Gao family spread the news, people immediately came to buy it. Even if the price was twice as high, it was sold out within a day, making him a lot of money.
