C46 A strange light

"I'm willing to listen to the details!"

Du Jinguang was very perfunctory, he absolutely did not believe that he would change his mind after hearing it. Under no circumstances would he sell the book board!

He made up his mind in his heart. He would not waver in the slightest!

Even if it meant death!

Bing Ying replied: "Du Boss. This bookstore of yours is over a hundred years old? "

Du Jinguang nodded his head: "It's been over eighty years since I passed down from my grandfather! It's the name of the capital for the past hundred years! "

Bing Ying said: "I heard that the Book Bureau is a business that doesn't make money?"

Du Jinguang slightly nodded his head: "Looks like you aren't an amateur. Since you know that the Bureau isn't very profitable, then why did you force yourself to buy my Bureau?"

Bing Ying said: "Forcefully? Du Boss misunderstood! I do not intend to force it! It's just that I heard that Du Boss is a strong character, in order to make our cooperation more efficient, I was forced to use a rude attitude! "How about this, in order to show our sincerity ?"

Bing Ying suddenly stopped.

Du Jinguang listened attentively, trying to understand what she was about to say.

Sincerity?

What kind of sincerity was this?

Bing Ying did not say anything. Instead, he took off the hat on his head.

"Swish!"

Her black hair hung down as if the Milky Way had descended from the heavens.

"You ? You are a woman! "

Du Jinguang was dumbstruck!

Bing Ying said: "I am Fourth Prince's new wangfei, Beitang Family's Fourth Miss, Beitang Bingying! Du Boss, is this considered sincere? "

"Good!" Good! I, Du, admire you! Princess treats others with sincerity. If I, Du, were to persist, I would really not know what's good for me! Since the Princess said that he has a brilliant plan for cooperation, I am willing to listen to the details. At least, there's no harm in listening to them! "

Firstly, Bing Ying used force to suppress and intimidate Du Jinguang, and then self-destructed his identity and family members. Firstly, he sincerely wanted to express his sincerity in cooperating with Du Jinguang, and secondly, he had a powerful background that naturally made Du Jinguang apprehensive.

Du Jinguang was indeed a shrewd person, seeing Bing Ying's sincerity, his attitude became much softer.

Bing Ying saw that the time was ripe, and said: "Du Boss! "Since the Book Bureau doesn't earn any money, and Du Boss you need to maintain the operation of the bookstore and raise a large number of henchmen, I'm afraid that the source of the money is due to the huge expenses ?"

Hearing that, Du Jinguang was so scared that his face turned pale!

Bing Ying said: "You don't have to worry. I won't pursue your source of money, and I'm not here to look for you today. I don't represent the Prince Xiu's Mansion, nor do I represent the officials! On behalf of myself! A person who sincerely collaborated with the Du Boss in their business! "

Only then did Du Jinguang relax and said: "Right now, I am actually very interested to hear about Princess ?"

Bing Ying said: "You can call me young master Wang!"

Bing Ying tied up her hair and tied it up before putting on her hat. Soon after, she turned into a handsome, white-faced scholar.

Du Jinguang said: "young master Wang, please tell us your plan of cooperation now!"

Bing Ying said: "Du Boss is indeed a businessman, with a keen sense of business! Actually, I have an unprecedented and wonderful way to make money in the era of innovation! That is to publish newspapers! "

Du Jinguang asked: What's the newspaper?

Bing Ying said: "Newspapers are the most basic and most effective way of communication! In my world, I mean, in the other world I know of, there are many media, a highly developed information age. Internet, mobile phone, movies, television, magazines, newspapers... The media are well-developed. Of course, I can understand the doubt on your face. It's too hard for you to understand what a network and a mobile phone are. Let's just talk about the newspapers! "

Du Jinguang thought for a moment, then blurted out: "Although I can't understand what you are saying young master Wang, but I have an intuition! All these things that you have mentioned will be earth-shattering! "

Bing Ying smiled. "I told you you have a sharp mind for business!" Let me give you a brief account of what a newspaper is! Do you have a book in your house?

"A book?"

"Yes!" Any book is fine! "

Du Jinguang immediately shouted: "Men! Bring out the rare book of "The Geography of the Sky" that I just printed! "

Soon, a servant brought over a brand-new book wrapped in red silk.

Du Jinguang's face was full of satisfaction as he handed the book over to Bing Ying: "This is the most influential piece of work in the Sunset Clouds's Book Bureau this year,? Geography of the Sky?, young master Wang, is it possible for this book?"

Bing Ying said straightforwardly: "Sure! "No problem!"

Du Jinguang curiously asked: "I wonder what young master Wang wants this book for?"

Bing Ying took the book, calmly flipped open a page, and didn't even glance at it.

Swish...

He tore off a page!

Du Jinguang was shocked, "young master Wang, you..."

"Shua!" "Shua!" "Shua!" "Shua!" Bing Ying tore the book into pieces one by one in an instant.

Du Jinguang said with a pained heart, "This ? "This is a precious collection ?"

Bing Ying's expression did not change. After he finished ripping, he pointed at the scattered pages, and said: "Du Boss. Look, what are these? "

Du Jinguang said sorrowfully: "This is my Heavenly Mystery Geography!"

Bing Ying said: "Just now! "And now?"

Du Jinguang said: "The torn Geography of the Sky!"

Bing Ying held out a chapter and chapter of scattered paper, and said: "This is the newspaper! Or it could be called a flyer! "The truth is the same, but the nature of the content is different!"

Du Jinguang saw the stack of papers in Bing Ying's hands, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light!

He seemed to have realized something ?

However, he couldn't say it himself!

However, his intuition told him that he was experiencing something legendary!

Many years later, when Du Jinguang became a media mogul in the history of the Tianyue Dynasty, he had mentioned this in his memoirs many times: The greatest and most mysterious Queen Beitang Bingying of the Tianyue Dynasty possesses advanced and innovative ideas, beautiful eyes and unfathomable wisdom! When the Queen introduced me to the newspaper, I felt like an ignorant frog at the bottom of a well! But I have always believed that we will usher in a new era of empire!

Bing Ying took the chance and explained the subtle changes in Du Jinguang's expression, "The nature of the newspapers: These pieces of scattered paper, are even considered newspapers, and are also known as flyers! The leaflet compels others to accept what you want to spread, and the newspaper is what you volunteer to spread what others want to know, or what they are interested in. "

Du Jinguang fell into deep thought ?

Bing Ying continued: "Let's not talk about the flyers for now. As a complete propaganda tool, this thing is too singular. What we want to talk about is ? The newspapers! In another world, when the computer came out, the newspapers ruled the earth for 500 years! Even later on, when the world entered the era of advanced information on computer networks and mobile phones, it was never able to replace the important role newspapers played in people's lives! "

Du Jinguang was completely captivated by what he had heard...

Thus, Bing Ying began to explain in detail about the production, distribution, editing of the content of the newspaper, and more.

"Oh my god!"

"This... This will be a completely new and subversive starting point! "

"young master Wang, if you were to tell someone else this, they would think you are a lunatic. But my Du Family's three generations of people run a bookstore, although I don't know if your plan is feasible, just listening to you talk about it makes my blood boil! If this plan can be implemented, then our achievements will definitely be recorded in history! "

"Awesome!"

"This is the beginning of a legend!"

Du Jinguang was extremely excited!

Bing Ying smiled and said, "Of course it's possible! It worked! I have already thought about it carefully. The books in circulation in the imperial government are all too few. And if we give out newspapers for free, who wouldn't want to read them? "

Du Jinguang said: "What? Free? That... "How can I do that?"

Bing Ying said: "Why not?"

Du Jinguang said: "young master Wang, do you know how much it costs to print a book?"

Bing Ying shook his head and said: "This Du Boss should be an expert, right?"

Du Jinguang said: "According to the 100 pages of a book, based on the circulation of 2000 books, the cost of a single book would be around 5 silver. Based on the circulation of 500 books, the cost would be 12 silver. Currently, books on the market, excluding the quality and content of the paper, were priced around 8 or 9 silver coins. In other words, if the volume of a book is less than 1000, it will be impossible to sell. Even if it were to sell all of it, it would be a loss! "

Bing Ying asked: "How many people are there in Tianyue Dynasty?"

Du Jinguang thought for a moment, then said: "About eight hundred million!"

Bing Ying asked: "Where is the entrance to the city?"

Bing Ying was extremely shocked!

Eight million?

That was eight hundred million!

Was there that many people in this dynasty?

This was too unbelievable.

Bing Ying remembered that in the history of China, when the Qing Dynasty had the largest number of people, it did not exceed 100 million!

If the dynasty had really eight million people, then it would be much more prosperous than the Tang and Song dynasties!

Why was there no mention of such a dynasty in Chinese history?

Du Jinguang said: "About two million!"

Bing Ying asked: "How many people per household?"

Du Jinguang said: "There are about seven or eight people in this small family. A large family would have at least a thousand, or at least a few dozen. "

Bing Ying said: "Then treat it as ten for each household! Those who can read, just take it as 20%. In other words, every five families (50 people) needed to publish a newspaper! 100 pieces of paper for one book, that would require a total of 40 thousand books! Du Boss, how much is the total cost? "

Du Jinguang carefully calculated and said: "The total cost is about four thousand silver. Because the circulation is extremely large, the cost is too small, so the cost of a single book only needs not even one silver coin! However, if we were to set up a book bureau in all the cities and towns of the country, in addition to the staff expenses, the total cost would be a huge sum! "

Bing Ying said: "Money is not a problem!"

Du Jinguang calculated, and said: "That is a gigantic number! Furthermore, if it were to be released free of charge, it would definitely erode a lot of capital! "

Bing Ying laughed: "How about this. Du Boss, how much would it cost to publish a newspaper every day and then add in all the other expenses? Just give me a certain number! "

"At least! One million two hundred thousand! "

When Du Jinguang said this number, he was also shocked!

One had to know that the treasury only had a yearly income of one million and five hundred thousand silver taels!

"One million two hundred thousand!" It was indeed a bit much, but no problem! Money is not a problem! "
