Chapter 129 The price is too low
In other words, after Li Shimin finished the printing and dyeing factory and the paper mill, he still used Yang's signboard, and the business became more and more prosperous!
The businessmen in Chang'an City are the most savvy. When they heard that Yang's Bookstore's books were low in price and high in quality, they all went there to buy.
"Books on sale! Books on sale! Today's opening price! Enter the store and get [-]% off!"
"The lowest price, 60 copper coins per book! Anyone who enters the store to sell books will get a copy of Tao Te Ching!"
"Pass by! Don't miss it!"
Yang's Bookstore, a young man outside the store, shouted at the top of his voice.
People passing by outside, this is the first time they heard that there is a free gift for buying books!And still give Tao Te Ching!
You know, in Datang, Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching is very popular!
Taoist culture and values also became the mainstream of Tang culture.
because!Li Shimin recognized Lao Tzu Li Er as the ancestor of the Li family!Moreover, it also deified Taoism!
Why did Li Shimin do this?
Because, to deify Lao Tzu is to deify Li Shimin himself!
The ancients were quite hypocritical. No matter who is the emperor, they all want to find a powerful ancestor for themselves to show their dignity.
In the early Tang Dynasty, because it had just transitioned from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the shadow of aristocratic families shrouded the Tang Dynasty.
Although Li Yuan conquered the world, seized power, and established the Great Tang!
However, at that time, there were five surnames and seven wangs, and they looked down on the Li family at all, and Li Yuan was not of Han descent, so he was even more disliked.
There is no way, Li Shimin can only find a more powerful financial backer for himself, after searching around, he found that my surname is also Li!
Moreover, Laozi is still in the same rank as the founder of Confucian culture, Confucius, this level and qualifications are really awesome!
If you don't find Lao Tzu as your ancestor, you will feel sorry for the ancestors of the Li family!
Therefore, Li Shimin recognized Lao Tzu as the ancestor of the Li family!
People who are respected by the imperial court will naturally be sought after by people in society.
Therefore, the Tao Te Ching is a must-have for all scholars, so it will be expensive to sell!
"Wow! You can buy books with 60 copper coins, and you can also give away the Tao Te Ching!"
"Let's go! Go and see!"
Upon hearing this, passers-by entered the store one after another to find out.
If you don't go, you don't know, if you go, you will be shocked!
There are so many books in Yang's Bookstore!Fantastic!rich!
"This biography of Yingying is so beautiful!"
"This collection of Yang Zhuo's complete poems would be great!"
As soon as they entered, they were attracted by the books in the bookstore!
"Young masters, what books do you want to buy? You can get a 9% discount if you make up the order together!" the waiter said with a smile.
"real!"
A few young people looked at the price on the book!
"This biography of Yingying is only 60 copper coins!"
"These poems, books and five classics are only 200 copper coins!"
"Impossible! You can't make a mistake with your price tag!"
They can't believe their eyes!With such a low price, why does it feel like a dream? ? !
"Yes, let me do the math for you. A storybook novel and a set of classics and history collections are worth 260 copper coins in total. If you get a 208% discount, it will be 187 copper coins. If you discount it more, it will be [-] copper coins!" the waiter said. .
The few people were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly took out the money, and ran away with the books in their arms!
I am afraid that the waiter will make a wrong calculation and regret it!
"Hey! Young masters! I haven't taken the Tao Te Ching from you yet!" the waiter said with a loud voice.
However, people have already run away!
……
After Li Shimin retired from the court, he went to the bookstore with great interest.
This bookstore was owned by him, and the original edition of the books in it was provided by Yang Zhuo, and he arranged for people to do the printing later.
"Your Majesty, the business in this store is pretty good!" Du Ru said with a dark smile.
He also took part in the business of this store!
Seeing that the business is going well, of course he is happy!
"That's right! That boy Yang Zhuo has a good brain! This easily solved a big problem for me!" Li Shimin said with emotion.
Du Ruhui also agreed!
Yang Zhuo is indeed a talent!
Moreover, his diabetes has been cured by Yang Zhuo's special medicine!
Without the threat of death, Du Ruhui felt that life was hopeful!
-
Choi family.
Cui Shilang is drinking tea leisurely.
"Master! It's not good!"
The shopkeeper of the bookstore suddenly ran over, panting heavily.
"Why are you so flustered!" Cui Shilang frowned displeasedly.
Aristocratic families pay attention to elegance!
Therefore, I hate such flustered and disorganized people the most!
"It's not good! Master! Something happened to the bookstore!" the man said hastily.
"What happened?" Cui Shilang frowned.
"Someone steals business!"
Cui Shilang wondered, who is so courageous!How dare you compete with the Cui family for business!
"The old slave doesn't know the origin of the other party, but he knows that he opened a bookstore across from us." The man said.
"What! Isn't this an obvious attempt to run on me, Mrs. Cui! You want to provoke me!"
Cui Shilang was furious!
The Cui family is also one of the best in Chang'an City!
Now, someone dared to steal business from his family!I just don't want to mess around!
"Go! Go and have a look!" Cui Shilang said.
After finishing speaking, he and his servants went to the bookstore together!
As soon as I arrived at the bookstore, I saw Yang's Bookstore on the opposite side, crowded with people, and it was very lively!
There is an endless stream of people buying books!
This hot look doesn't look like buying a book at all, but like going to the market to pick cabbage!
"That's not right! This book is a luxury item! How can these untouchables have the money to buy it?" Cui Shilang was puzzled!
Because books are very expensive, on weekdays, one or two people who buy books come in to have a look. There are not many people who buy books, almost all of them are from aristocratic families, and they are all rich people!
Like the poor people, they have no money at all, so they won't even enter the door of the bookstore!
"Go and have a look!" Cui Shilang was not reconciled, so he simply entered Yang's Bookstore!
Don't look at it, look at it!
"This Book of Changes is only 100 copper coins?!"
"The Analects of Confucius is only 99 copper coins!"
Cui Shilang was shocked!
The books in this store are dozens of times cheaper than those in his store!
This is not scientific!
So sell it!It must be a loss!
"Master, I checked. There are dozens of Yang's bookstores in Chang'an City, and the prices are ridiculously low! What should I do?" the servant asked.
"Huh! Playing a price war with me?! Then I will have fun with you! Let's see who will be finished first!" Cui Shilang snorted coldly.
The entire bookstore in Chang'an City was originally monopolized by the Cui family!
However, now suddenly a Yang's bookstore pops up!This is obviously to grab business!
However, the price of Yang's Bookstore is too low, and it is selling at a loss!
If it continues like this, it will definitely make ends meet, and it will be a matter of time before the door closes!
"Sir, what do you mean..." The servant still didn't quite understand.
"Please inform, our bookstore will reduce the price in an all-round way! The price is lower than that of Yang's Bookstore!" Cui Shilang said.
"Master! This is a big loss for us!" The servant thought it was wrong!
"As long as Yang's Bookstore is crushed! My Cui family will still bear the price!" Cui Shilang said.
The Cui family is the leader in the book selling industry, and this position cannot be changed!
