The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 462 Fight with me, you are still tender!
Among the royal family.

This is the meeting of the Changan Chamber of Commerce.

Hosted by Wang Yang, along with Changsun Wuji, Li Erhu and a group of small merchants.

All in all, only ten people.

Compared with when the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce was established before, the difference is not small.

When the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce was at its most prosperous, there were a total of fifty members.

Now it is less than one-fifth.

There are only two people who are really useful. The five great families have become two great families.

This is also what they did on their own, and it will not end well if they fight against Li Yin.

"Everyone, Sheng Tang Group sold a lot of cheap books today, which had a huge impact on us and made us very uncomfortable! We must find a way!"

This is the truth of Wang Yang.

People don't speak.

What can be done?They were suppressed and beaten everywhere, until they lost their temper, and they were about to quit the chamber of commerce.

Then Changsun Wuji spoke next.

"So, Wang Yang asked everyone to come because there is something for everyone to do!"

Everyone was silent.

Judging from the last bicycle ride, it seems that following Wang Yang's work will only result in losses.

So, when Wang Yang chaired the meeting again, no one responded anymore.

Wang Yang is a fine man.

Looking around, there is one person who can be pulled into the water.

So, he said: "This matter requires everyone to work together. When we are together, the future will be bright. Li Erhu, can you make a statement!?"

Wang Yang said so.

Li Erhu asked directly: "What is daring? You have to talk about it first, right?"

"After an ancient book was reprinted, the Shengtang Group only sold it for a hundred pennies! They must be making a profit! And what we have to do is to buy all his ancient books! And force them to print more! Let There are no books in the market! In the end, let them give up printing, and as far as I know, if he does not supply the market, His Majesty will directly blame him. In this way, his printing factory may be closed, and our books will be sold. Here's a chance!"

In Changsun Wuji's opinion, Li Yin is losing money. After all, no matter what, a book can't be so low, right?

"Yes, what Changsun Wuji said is right. We can eat as much as they have! When there are no books in the market, we can take the opportunity to raise the price, one hundred Wen in and five hundred Wen out. Those scholars are not the same. Buy with us? We can say that we are doing business without capital!"

"Everyone seize this opportunity, and we must not let cheap books flow into the market! Otherwise, the foundation of the economy may be shaken!"

The so-called fundamentals of the economy?In fact, it is the interests of the aristocratic family. They don't care whether the emperor's surname is Yang or Li, Sui or Tang?As long as their interests are affected, it will hurt the foundation of the economy.

There is a certain reason for these people to dare to say that.

Because they have been so important for hundreds of years, and they still control the economic lifeline of the entire Tang Dynasty.

As for now, it is almost not the case.

There is a beast growing up, and that is Shengtang Group.

Its appearance will break this pattern.

Therefore, the family was in a panic.

But although Shengtang Group is developing fiercely, if it wants to gain a firm foothold in the entire Tang Dynasty, it still needs to work hard.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was excited.

"I agree with Wang Yang's proposal!"

Li Erhu expressed his opinion.

Other small businesses have no say at all.

Whatever the big family does, they follow suit.

Therefore, we should also agree and say that we want to buy books together.

"Very good. In the future, the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce will return to its peak, and our novel will be published soon. Because Changsun Wuji obtained the movable type printing technology of Shengtang Group, it can increase our speed by more than ten times."

This is undoubtedly great news.

Li Erhu asked: "When will a book be published?"

"Tomorrow, print [-] numbers first!"

"How is the quality? How is it compared to the Three Kingdoms?"

"Better than the Three Kingdoms!"

Wang Yang said with some confidence.

The level of people he recruited was not as good as Li Yin's, and the quality was not as good as historical masterpieces.

But he wanted to say that in order to give everyone confidence!

Even though he had seen the Three Kingdoms, he still said it against his will.

"What is the price of that book?"

"A tael of silver!"

Someone asked: "A tael of silver, can we still make a profit?"

Wang Yang smiled.

"Yes, the price of paper is so low now, and the cost of printing is all on labor, so our profit is about 10 taels. When the book comes out tomorrow, we will have [-] taels in the account. This is a good start! Then , we will expand production!"

These profits are all squeezed out by Li Yin. If the paper is not cheap, they will pay back the money.

As soon as they said it, these people immediately organized personnel and began to purchase a large number of books from the Shengtang Group.

But what shocked them was that they had purchased 10,000+ books, but Shengtang Group was like a bottomless pit, with new books coming out constantly.

Moreover, the serialization of the Three Kingdoms cannot be stopped for a day.

Regarding this time, the Wang family and Changsun Wuji miscalculated.

Although nearly half of their novels were sold on the first day, hundreds of thousands of copies were printed.

However, they did not count that movable type printing is only a part of it, and there are a large number of printing presses, which cannot be learned and cannot be copied.

Unless they can move one back to study.

But how easy is it?
There are so many traps in the Shengtang Group. If they really want it, they can't even see the machine, so they hang there.

Therefore, the people from the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce sat together again.

Li Erhu's voice was a little loud.

"Changsun Wuji, didn't you say that they will stop production? Why do I feel that we are giving money to Shengtang Group? I have spent nearly a million taels just to buy books. Now my house is full of books and I don't know what to do with them. !"

As for other merchants, they are also complaining.

Although not as many as Li Erhu, there are hundreds of thousands more.

Not to mention Wang Yang, the Wang family has a lot of money.

It also spends the most money.

Changsun Wuji stood there without speaking.

He was thinking, why is this happening?

It is obvious that Li Yin can be suppressed, but the reality is not as good as I imagined.

"Impossible, if we buy it for a few more days, he will definitely not be able to hold it!"

Changsun Wuji finally said.

But at this moment, suddenly a young man ran in.

"It's not good, it's not good, Shengtang Group cut off the supply of paper in the market!"

This is undoubtedly an unbearable bad news.

That is to say, if their novels are sold again, they may lose money.

"How to do?"

What these people say the most is what to do?
It can be said that if more books are printed, the more they will lose.

The price of paper used to be very high. If Shengtang Group did not supply paper at a low price, [-]% of the people would not be able to use paper.

Regarding the importance of paper, Wang Yang hadn't thought about it, and Changsun Wuji hadn't even thought about it.

Unexpectedly, I felt that I could have a turnaround, but unexpectedly, I was given one by Li Yin.

Then, what kind of tricks will Li Yin use next?

Nobody knows.

Everyone was silent.

But at this time, among the Shengtang Group, Li Yin laughed loudly and said, "Wang Yang? Fight me, you are still young!"
