    Chapter 673: [Selling Books]

    ¡­¡­

    A smile appeared on Xiao Chen¡¯s face!

    "I remember that Shanxi has the most coal mines. When all the coal mines here are mined, go over there and dig them!" Li Chengqian touched his hand and said.

    Shanxi?  Xiao Chen was puzzled. She had never heard of this place.

    "Your Highness, where is Shandong?"

    Only then did Li Chengqian know that Shanxi in the Tang Dynasty was not called Shanxi yet!

    "Oh, it's on Hedong Road. I remembered the words in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, so I said it was Shanxi!" Li Chengqian explained.

    Xiao Chen was not suspicious. She wrote it down on the paper and murmured: "When the need arises, let someone go to Hedong Road to look for minerals!"

    "What about cement?" Li Chengqian thought of his other industry.

    Cement is used to pave roads and build buildings.  If you want to make big money from cement, you need to build a lot of roads and let people learn to build cement houses.  In this way, there will be a large number of business orders, and money will naturally be made.  According to Xiao Chen's core business theory, if you control the cement production method and let more people produce cement and sell it to others, wouldn't you just teach others how to make cement? Then you won't be able to make any money.  .

    After thinking about it, it seems that there is such a thing as a patent, which can protect me from telling the next person how to make cement, and still let the next person continue to pay me!

    However, patents were not very suitable for use in the Tang Dynasty.  The legal binding force in the Tang Dynasty was not as strong as in modern times. Even if Li Chengqian came up with the patent law and published the method of making cement, there would be countless workshops all over the world producing cement without Li Chengqian's hand.  Half fee.

    Li Chengqian became the prince.  It is possible to use power to ask officials to close down workshops that do not pay patent fees.

    But the patent law came out.  You can't just serve Li Chengqian, right?

    So if the patent law uses other people, doesn¡¯t it mean nothing?  They do not have the power and status of Prince Li Chengqian.

    And the cottage.  Counterfeiting of these things is prevalent all over the world even in modern times.  The Tang Dynasty was no exception. Some time ago, a wine master appeared in Shuaiguo's wine workshop. After learning the art of distilling wine, he went out to open a wine workshop.  Handsome Guo is a prince, and even the prince's wine in Chang'an dares to be counterfeit, so after running out of Chang'an.  Why doesn¡¯t Li Chengqian¡¯s cement dare to be counterfeit?

    Moreover, transportation in Datang was inconvenient. Unlike modern times, wherever piracy occurs, you can fly there and contact the local police to arrest the piracy.  As for the Tang Dynasty, even if piracy was found in a place in the south, it would take half a month or even two or three months to travel from Chang'an to the south. How could there be so much manpower, material resources and time to do this, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away.  Once you get there, there may not be any officials who will pay attention!

    After many considerations, patents are still useless. We should produce cement ourselves and sell it ourselves.  Finally, if the market demand is great, we will find several partners to produce together.

    I sat with Xiao Chen and discussed it for a long time.  The sun was rising higher and higher, and the heat was rising.  Li Chengqian couldn't stay by the pool anymore and wanted to go back to the attic.

    Xiao Chen stood even slower than Li Chengqian.  There's still a little bit of twitching.

    "Your Highness, let me help you!" Although Xiao Chen stood up awkwardly, he said this to Li Chengqian.

    Li Chengqian looked at her and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

    Xiao Chen¡¯s face turned red, and then he didn¡¯t hide it and said, ¡°My pants are wet again!¡±

    She glanced at Li Chengqian with a flirtatious look, and then went over to help Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, after I help you in, I need to go to Chongren Hall to take a look. Don't let them ruin the account books!"

    "Okay." Li Chengqian responded.

    After Xiao Chen went to Chongren Hall, Li Chengqian stayed there and played Go with himself in the room. Halfway through the game, he couldn't play any more.

    It was only then that he realized that he was not the kind of person who would compete with him in a battle of wits and courage. Once he came up with a move, he would immediately be blocked by his next idea. It was really blocked in his heart.

    He threw down the Go game and saw Su Mi coming in. Seeing Li Chengqian playing chess alone, he asked in surprise: "Where is You He?"

    "She went to Chongren Hall." Li Chengqian responded.

    Su Mi said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you ask her to accompany His Highness? Even if you want to go, you have to wait until I come back!"

    "Okay, okay, Xiao Chen, I asked her to go. I just injured my hand and it's nothing serious. Why are you nervous? What is that in your hand?" Li Chengqian waved to her and said.

    Su Mi was holding several books in her hands, which were very brand-new. When she came in just now, her face was full of smiles, as if??Can't put it down this book.

    At this time, she was angry, but when she heard Li Chengqian's words, a smile appeared on her face again. She raised the book, walked in front of Li Chengqian, and handed the book to Li Chengqian.

    The book says: "A Dream of Red Mansions",

    On the cover, it is no longer the usual green book cover, but with a painting of a beautiful lady. It is much fresher than the books I have seen before!

    "Has the sample come out?" Li Chengqian took it and asked.

    "Well, I got this from Confucius. There were already samples two days ago. I asked them to change them, and now I get the new samples!" Su Mi said the changes, with a look on his face.  red.

    Li Chengqian didn¡¯t pay much attention. He turned over the pages of the book. The first page read: Li Chengqian, written by Su Mi.

    "Didn't you say write your name? Why did you add me in, and add it in front of you!" Li Chengqian was a little curious, "Is this what you later regretted and asked Confucius to change? This Confucius is really,  This is promised to you!"

    "No!" Su Mi shook his head.

    This made Li Chengqian even more curious and asked: "Then what did you change?"

    Su Mi said: "Last time we agreed with Confucius about the publication, but you asked Confucius to only write about Concubine. I felt it was inappropriate, so I went to Confucius later, but I didn't dare to violate it.  It¡¯s His Highness¡¯s wish, so I dare not delete my name and put it behind His Highness!¡±

    After glaring at Su Mi, Li Chengqian looked at the book and asked, "I didn't see any changes. What did you change?"

    "Here!" Su Mi pointed, "I changed my name to a smaller one."

    When she said this, she discovered that the three characters in Li Chengqian's name were half a size larger than the two characters in Su Mi. This made the three characters in Li Chengqian's name very conspicuous.

    "You, you are so thoughtful!" Li Chengqian took her hand and said.

    Su Mi¡¯s face turned red and she murmured, ¡°I like it better!¡±

    "Huh?" Li Chengqian didn't understand.

    Xiao Xiami grinned beside him and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess just said that lining up with your name means that others can see that you and the Crown Princess are in love, right?"

    ??Looking at it, it¡¯s so loving for a husband and wife to finish a book together!

    Moreover, when outsiders saw this book, it was very feminine, and they thought it was written by the Crown Princess. Then when they saw Li Chengqian's name written on it, and it was bigger than Su Mi's, they would think that it was written by the Crown Princess.  Su Mi respects her husband and shows her virtuous behavior by taking her husband as the most important thing. This makes Su Mi even more praised!

    Li Chengqian smiled and agreed with Su Mi's approach: "Okay!"

    He had three books in a row in his hand, which were the first half of Dream of Red Mansions. Li Chengqian asked: "Do you want to give all three books to the bookseller for sale together?"

    "Well, I originally wanted to sell the front and back parts together, but for the time being we can only sell the front part. If the back part is released together, it will be very slow!" Su Mi sat next to Li Chengqian.

    "No, just one copy!" Li Chengqian came up with an idea.

    Su Mi widened her eyes and looked at him in confusion.

    "Listen to me, you're right!" Li Chengqian smiled, "After the first book is published and the readers' appetite is aroused, the second one will be a hot seller, and the third one will become a god!"

    Su Mi didn't understand, so Li Chengqian told her in detail: "The story of Dream of Red Mansions is very exciting. Needless to say, after reading the first book, will someone immediately want to read the second one? If you read three books  They¡¯re all gone, and while others slowly read through the three books, you¡¯ll be able to read the second half. There¡¯s no rush at all, and there¡¯s no effect at all.¡±

    After hearing these words, Su Mi didn't understand, so Li Chengqian continued: "If you only publish one book, you can read it in three to five days, or even half a month, but you won't be able to read the second one.  Don¡¯t worry, should you always pay attention to the news of booksellers? Do you want to inquire about the author? I am too worried about whether you will talk about this book when you meet a friend, so I will promote it radially.  This book, so his friends also came to read this book and were waiting to read the second one. More and more people came to read it. When the time comes, when the second book is about to be released, let the bookseller advertise it. Where?  The second book will be published in one day, so by that time, there will be a large number of readers rushing to buy the second book. If it becomes popular, the book will be popular, which is great!"

    After hearing this, Su Mi understood somewhat and nodded.

    "What your Highness said is the same as how toilet water is sold!" Xiao Chen's voice rang from outside.

    The two of them looked at each other, and Xiao Chen walked in slowly. He bowed to Li Chengqian first, and then fought with Su Mi.After saying hello, she also apologized and expressed that she was wrong for leaving without permission.

    Su Mi said it was Li Chengqian who asked her to go, and he didn¡¯t blame her.

    Then he asked: "How to sell toilet water?"

    Xiao Chen looked at Li Chengqian with admiration and said: "The toilet water store has a very clever selling method. Every time there is a new perfume, a billboard will be hung at the entrance of the store. After a while, a few bottles will be placed in the store.  Inside, it is said to be for trial use. Except for giving to regular customers, the others are very expensive. They will be filled in after they are sold out. Instead, after half a month or a month, a sign will be posted at the door to remind them that they will be sold in a few days.  , the new perfume will be released for sale in a few days. At this time, many people are looking forward to the new perfume, and the door of the store will be blocked that day. The sales volume of the new perfume will be astonishingly high!"

    She pointed to the book in Li Chengqian's hand: "The sales method His Highness just mentioned is just like toilet water!"
