Chapter 165
Xiangyang City, Cai Fu.
Cai Xiao, the head of the Cai family, was in the study, holding a pen in his hand and writing seriously. And what he uses is Xinhan paper.
"What a good paper!" After writing a few words, Cai Xiao was amazed. The surface of the new Han paper is smooth, white, and the writing is clearer than on the brocade.
These pieces of paper were brought back by the disciples of the clan who studied in Xiangyang Academy, and the price was very cheap, saying that they were newly made and given priority to the students of the academy.
Since it was newly built, there would definitely be something for sale, so he sent the old butler to Xiangyang City early in the morning to inquire.
"Sir... Sir..." the old butler shouted before he reached the study.
"But I bought new Han paper!" Cai Xiao heard this, hurriedly left the study, and when he saw that the old housekeeper was empty-handed, he was a little disappointed, "What's the fuss, what kind of system?"
"Sir, the new Han paper has not been sold, and now the Xiangyang Chamber of Commerce is selling the right to operate the new Han paper!" The old butler inquired about a lot of news.
"Right to operate? What is the right to operate? Cai Xiao had never heard of it.
"I also just learned that after you buy the right to operate in which state, you can sell new Chinese paper in this state, and other people can't sell it here." Moreover, you can also sell the rights to other counties in the state to other merchants, which is basically what it means.
After listening to the old butler's words, Cai Xiao thought carefully. A moment later, his eyes lit up.
"What is the value of the management right?"
"The states are not equal, the most expensive is Jizhou, which costs 100,000 gold, and the cheapest is Jiaozhou, only 20,000 gold!"
"What about our Jingzhou geometry?"
"Jingzhou 70,000 gold!"
"Seventy thousand gold?"
"Yes, it's 70,000 gold!" The old butler shook his head, "It's also too expensive, and I didn't buy anything!"
"You immediately collect the money and goods in the house, and I will buy the right to operate Jingzhou!" Cai Xiao said as he walked out.
"Sir, this... This...... The right to operate is empty, nothing! "The old housekeeper was very puzzled.
"You don't understand, do as I say!" Cai Xiao said loudly.
"No!"
Cai Xiao took a few subordinates, left Cai's mansion, and immediately came to the Xiangyang Chamber of Commerce.
At this time, many merchants had gathered in the Xiangyang Chamber of Commerce, and they were three in groups and two in a group, talking about it.
After all, the purchase of the right to operate is a new thing, so they have to discuss it.
Although Xinhan Paper has great profit margins and prospects, the management right is too expensive, such as Jingzhou, it costs 70,000 gold! How much paper to sell to earn this money back!
"Chairman Ma, I buy the right to operate Jingzhou!" At this moment, Cai Xiao said loudly to Ma Bochang.
The first to buy the right to operate appeared, and everyone suddenly stopped talking and turned their sights to the past.
"Cai Xiao?"
"The Cai family wants to buy it?"
"Patriarch Cai, you want to buy the right to operate Jingzhou?" Ma Jing, president of the Xiangyang Chamber of Commerce, asked.
When Liu Jun initially asked him to sell the right to sell the new Han paper first, Ma Jing was a little disapproving. To put it bluntly, the right to operate is a dead letter. Businessmen are heavy on profits, and they have not yet made profits, who will pay such a high amount of money to buy the right to operate!
However, Ma Jing did not dare to disobey Liu Jun's order, so she had to bite the bullet. Unexpectedly, someone really bought it.
"Of course, the money will be delivered soon!"
Seventy thousand gold, in this era, is actually seventy thousand silver, and can be replaced by other money and goods. For example, five pearls of money, grain, land, horses, silk wool and so on. Because the food and pay of officials and soldiers can also be replaced by other property, it is impossible to bring so much money and food with you.
In Jingzhou, although the Xiangyang Cai family is not as powerful as the current Yicheng Ma family, from the perspective of business, many people still regard the Cai family as the first, because the old owner Cai Xiao is unmatched in terms of business, no matter vision, mind or means.
With this shot, many people's minds came alive.
"I bought the right to operate Yangzhou!" Quang Jun, the son of the head of the Kuang family, said loudly.
Although Kuang Jun is only a young man in his twenties, he has great business talent. Because Kuang Yue surrendered to Cao Cao, Liu Jun deliberately suppressed the Quang family, but for more than a year, it was precisely because of Kuang Jun's outstanding talent that the Quang family survived the difficulties.
The sale of the management right of Xinhan Paper made Kuang Jun keenly smell the business opportunities inside. Although people in this era do not know how to monopolize management, they already have this aspect. Because the price of paper is cheap, its use will become larger and larger, and a state is exclusive! Maybe it won't be profitable in the front, but the profit in the future will be very large.
When others were talking, Kuang Jun was already ready to move. Now seeing that Cai Xiao had bought the management right of Jingzhou, he did not hesitate to make a move, and he immediately took action. If you wait, you will miss the opportunity.
"I buy the right to operate Yizhou!" The head of the Ma family, Ma Jing Mabo is often the president of the Xiangyang Chamber of Commerce, but his business vision is not as good as Cai Xiao and Kuang Jun. However, his mind is very flexible, and when he sees that these two people have made a move, it is naturally impossible to be wrong. So he quickly bought the management right of Yizhou.
As soon as the operating rights of these three states were sold, some small traders hurried to Cai Xiao, Quang Jun and others, they could not afford to buy the operating rights of one state, but they could buy one county, or one county. Xinhan paper is a good thing, and it will definitely sell well in the future.
And some big merchants in the north finally made a move, and Jizhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou were sold one after another. The more remote Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Hezhou have also been bought one after another after repeated hesitation by some merchants.
Finally, Sizhou, Liangzhou, and Jiaozhou also had merchants who bought them.
The sale of just one management right made Liu Jun a lot of money, and let Ma Liangpang Tongfa wait for these handsome masters in the world, stunned one by one. And such a business? And make money like this? How does the Lord's mind grow? Why are there so many weird and practical ideas?
New Han paper had begun to be produced and sold on a large scale, and in order to prevent merchants from living in odd goods and seeking black-hearted profits, Liu Jun set the selling prices of each state. Of course, the profit margin he left is very large, and the price varies from state to state according to geographical conditions.
When the large-scale new Han paper arrived in the states, the whole Han was sensational! Many scribes began to write poems and fu in praise of the new Han paper.
The biggest reaction was in Yecheng, Jizhou, where Emperor Liu Xie was excited, and the new Han paper could make the style of the Han more prosperous. Because this kind of paper was invented by Liu Jun, and Liu Jun is a clan relative of the Han family, this is the pride of the entire royal family.
Although Cao Cao hated Liu Jun very much, he couldn't put down his love for the new Han paper, so he also praised Liu Jun's contribution to the society and the benefits of the future.
