Xiangyang City, Cai Mansion.
Cai Xi, the head of the Cai family, is in the study, holding a pen in his hand and writing seriously. And what he used was New Han Paper.
"What a good paper!" After writing a few words, Cai Xi was filled with admiration. The surface of new Han paper is smooth and white, and the writing is clearer than that on brocade silk.
These pieces of paper were brought back by the disciples of the clan who were studying at Xiangyang Academy. They were very cheap and were said to be newly made. They were given priority to the students of the academy.
Since it was newly built, there must be something for sale, so he sent his old housekeeper to Xiangyang City early in the morning to inquire about it.
"MasterMaster" the old housekeeper shouted before he reached the study.
"But we bought new Chinese paper!" Upon hearing this, Cai Xi hurried out of the study. When he saw the old housekeeper empty-handed, he was a little disappointed, "What's the point of making such a fuss?"
"Sir, the new Han paper has not been sold yet. Now the Xiangyang Chamber of Commerce is selling the management rights of the new Han paper!" The old housekeeper inquired about a lot of information.
"Management rights? What is management rights?" Cai Xi had never heard of it.
"I just learned that after you buy the operating rights of which state, you can sell New Han Paper in that state, but others cannot sell it here. Moreover, you can also give other people This is generally what the businessman means when he sells the management rights of other counties in this state.¡±
After hearing what the old housekeeper said, Cai Xi thought carefully. After a moment, his eyes shone.
"How much is the management right worth?"
"It varies from state to state. The most expensive is Jizhou, which costs 100,000 gold, and the cheapest is Jiaozhou, which only costs 20,000 gold!"
"Then how big is our Jingzhou?"
"Seventy thousand gold from Jingzhou!"
"Seventy thousand gold?"
"Yes, it's seventy thousand gold!" The old housekeeper shook his head, "It's too expensive, and I didn't buy anything!"
"You immediately collect the money and materials in the mansion, I want to buy the management rights of Jingzhou!" Cai Xi said as he walked out.
"Master, this this management right is empty, there is nothing!" The old housekeeper was very puzzled.
¡°You don¡¯t understand, just do as I say!¡± Cai Xi said loudly.
"No!"
Cai Xi took several servants, left Cai Mansion, and immediately came to Xiangyang Chamber of Commerce.
At this time, many businessmen had gathered in the Xiangyang Chamber of Commerce. They were talking in groups of three and two.
Purchasing operating rights is, after all, a new thing, so they need to discuss it.
Although New Han Paper has great profit margins and prospects, the operating rights are too expensive. For example, in Jingzhou, it costs 70,000 gold! How much paper do you need to sell to make this money back?
"President Ma, I buy the management rights of Jingzhou!" At this moment, Cai Xi said loudly to Ma Bochang.
When the first person to buy the management rights appeared, everyone stopped talking and looked over.
"Cai Xi?"
"The Cai family wants to buy it?"
"Master Cai, do you want to buy the management rights of Jingzhou?" Ma Jing, president of the Xiangyang Chamber of Commerce, asked.
When Liu Cong initially asked him to sell the management rights of New Han Paper first, Ma Jing was somewhat disapproving. To put it bluntly, management rights are a piece of paper. A businessman is heavy on profits, but he has not yet made a profit. Who would pay such a high amount of money to buy the right to operate?
However, Ma Jing did not dare to disobey Liu Cong's order, so she had no choice but to do it. Unexpectedly, someone actually bought it.
"Of course, the money and goods will be delivered soon!"
Seventy thousand gold, in this era, is actually seventy thousand silver, and can be replaced by other money and items. For example, five beads of money, food, land, horses, silk, etc. Because the food and salary of officials and soldiers can also be replaced by other property, it is impossible to carry so much money and food with them.
In Jingzhou, although the Cai family in Xiangyang is not as powerful as the Ma family in Yicheng today, from a business perspective, many people still regard the Cai family as number one, because the old head of the family, Cai Xi, is very good at doing business. Vision, brains or means, no one can compare.
When he took action, many people¡¯s thoughts came alive.
"I bought the right to operate Yangzhou!" Kuai Jun, the son of Kuai Liang, the head of the Kuai family, said loudly.
Although Kuai Jun is only a young man in his twenties, he has great business talents. Because Kuai Yue surrendered to Cao Cao, Liu Cong deliberately suppressed the Kuai family. However, for more than a year, it was precisely because of Kuai Jun's outstanding talents that the Kuai family survived the difficulties.
The sale of the management rights of New Han Paper made Kuai Jun keenly aware of the business opportunities. Although at this timeMany people do not understand monopoly management, but they already have this awareness. Because paper is cheap, its usage will increase, and one state is the exclusive operator! Maybe there is no profit in the front, but the profits in the future will be very large.
While others were discussing, Kuai Jun was already ready to make a move. Now that he saw that Cai Xi had purchased the management rights of Jingzhou, he took action without hesitation. If you wait any longer, you will miss the opportunity.
"I buy the management rights of Yizhou!" The head of the Ma family, Ma Jing, and Ma Bochang are the presidents of the Xiangyang Chamber of Commerce, but his business vision is not as good as Cai Xi and Kuai Jun. But his mind is very flexible, and seeing that these two people have taken action, it is natural that they can't be wrong. So I quickly bought the management rights of Yizhou.
As soon as the management rights of these three states were sold, some small traders hurriedly went to Cai Xi, Kuai Jun and others. They could not afford to buy the management rights of a state, but they could buy one of a county, or a county. New Han paper is a good thing and will definitely be a best-seller in the future.
And some big merchants in the north finally took action. Jizhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou were sold out one after another. The relatively remote Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou also bought them one after another after some merchants hesitated.
Finally, merchants from Sizhou, Liangzhou, and Jiaozhou also bought it.
Liu Cong made a huge profit from the sale of just one management right, and left all the outstanding figures such as Ma Liang, Pang Tongfa and others dumbfounded. Is there anyone doing business like this? Is there any way to make money like this? How does the lord's mind grow? Why are there so many strange and practical ideas?
New Han Dynasty paper has begun large-scale production and sales. In order to prevent merchants from finding rare goods and making huge profits, Liu Cong stipulated the sales price in each state. Of course, the profit margin he leaves is very large, and prices vary from state to state based on geographical conditions.
When large-scale new Han paper arrived in various states, the whole Han Dynasty was shocked! Many scribes began to write poems and rhymes to praise the new Han paper.
The biggest reaction was in Yecheng, Jizhou. Emperor Liu Xie was very excited. The new Han paper could make the Han Dynasty's writing style more prosperous. Because this kind of paper was invented by Liu Cong, and Liu Cong was a clan member of the Han Dynasty, this was the pride of the entire royal family.
Although Cao Cao hated Liu Cong very much, he couldn't put it down for the new Han Dynasty paper, so he also praised Liu Cong for his contribution to the country and the future. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
