Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 454 Still Making Money
The troublesome booksellers left one after another, and they seemed quite happy when they left.

The people watching the excitement at the entrance of the Datang Bookstore were very surprised when they saw this situation, and at the same time they were a little bit disappointed because there was no excitement to watch.

Everyone shook their heads and dispersed. The nine princesses in the distance were sitting in the carriage. After seeing this situation, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the same time, she was very curious about what Qin Tian said to these booksellers, so that he was able to settle them down.

"Go find out what's going on."

After the nine princesses ordered, someone immediately went to investigate, and this matter was easy to investigate, so after half a stick of incense, the nine princesses ran back.

"His Royal Highness, I heard people say that it was the little Marquis Qin who promised to sell movable type printing and movable type to them so that they could also reduce costs, so they agreed to leave."

Hearing this, Princess Jiu frowned immediately: "Is this Qin Tian really stupid or fake?"

The Ninth Princess was a little angry at Qin Tian's approach, because she taught others what she depended on for survival. Although she could earn a sum of money, but without competitiveness, how could she make money in the future? ?
If the price of other people's books is similar to that of Datang Bookstore, or even lower, why should customers come to Datang Bookstore to buy?
Ninth Princess sighed softly: "Go back."

Regarding Qin Tian's actions, Princess Jiu was very disappointed, and felt like she didn't want to care about him.

The Ninth Princess's carriage was going back, Qin Tian came out from the bookstore, and when he looked up and saw the carriage that was drifting away, suddenly, nothing seemed to hit him in his heart.

The noisy cicadas in the distance are the most likely to disturb the mind.

Time passed slowly, and the books in Datang Bookstore were still selling very fast. As long as the printing factory had finished printing and brought them in, they would be sold out immediately.

This situation continued until other bookstores followed suit.

When other bookstores lowered their prices, some people would naturally try to get closer, or go to other bookstores to buy at a lower price. Although the business here at Datang Bookstore is quite good, compared to the previous situation, it has never happened again.

Although Princess Jiu was angry with Qin Tian and didn't want to care about his mess, she would still ask about it occasionally.

Knowing that the business of Qin Tian's Datang Bookstore is not as hot as before, she immediately snorted: "You are smart, now you know you regret it, don't you?"

As the ninth princess said, she felt a little worried, but faced with this situation, she couldn't come up with any good solution.

But at this time, Datang Bookstore launched a book rental activity.

This morning, when the weather was not very hot, many people and scholars gathered in front of the Datang Bookstore in the West Market.

"Everyone, during the opening period of Datang Bookstore, many friends came to support, thank you very much, and in order to thank you for your support, Datang Bookstore launched a book rental activity, this activity is very simple, that is, any book in it, everyone can spend A little money is lent away. The rules of the lease are as follows. First, the borrower needs to register his real situation in our bookstore, such as age, life, address, etc., and then pay a deposit of [-] Wen , if you don’t borrow books from the deposit, we will return it to you, you don’t have to worry about it at all, after you confirm this, you can borrow books.”

"If you borrow a book, a book, within five days, is five Wen, within 20 days, it is ten Wen, if you have not returned the book within 20 days, it is twenty Wen, and If you don't return the books after 30 days, then your deposit will be confiscated by us, of course, except for special circumstances..."

The person in charge of Datang Bookstore told everyone about the borrowing of books. After talking like this, many people began to think about it.

If they buy a book, they may need about [-] Wen, and some good books may need about [-]. This is a lot of pressure for many people.

Moreover, it is impossible for people who really read to buy only one book. In that case, their pressure will be even greater.

But if they borrow books to read, assuming that they finish reading a book within five days, they can read a hundred books for five hundred Wen, and if they want to buy a hundred books, they will have to pay dozens of pennies. Money.

In the two situations, which one is more advantageous to them, is it clear at a glance?
Spending the least amount of money, you can read the most books. This is simply a pie in the sky.

Scholars are somewhat smarter, and when they figured out the situation, they rushed over immediately.

"I want to register, my name is..."

"I want to register too..."

Reading is a luxury for many people. Nowadays, many people can be read with very little money. As long as they are not stupid, they will choose this method.

There were a lot of people who came to register. From morning to dusk, there were still people waiting to register in front of Datang Bookstore.

There are many people, and it seems that there will be more and more people.

Nine princess mansion.

"His Royal Highness, the Datang Bookstore has started renting books..."

The maid told the ninth princess about the situation of Datang Bookstore, and after she finished speaking, the maid curled her lips: "Books can be rented and read, and they are also very cheap. Who will buy books in the future? How to do business."

When the maid said this, Princess Jiu's expression changed suddenly, and she immediately laughed: "Smart, really smart, no wonder he dared to sell movable type printing, so he has kept this hand for a long time."

Hearing this, the maid was puzzled and said, "Your Highness, are you smart?"

Princess Jiu said: "Think about it, five hundred Wen for each registered person, which is equivalent to selling a book. Just this deposit is not a small sum. This is not counted. Let's take a look. How much money can the book make in the end? A book, in terms of 100 renminbi, rents out a book, and the price is between [-] renminbi and [-] renminbi. Some novels may be read in five days. It is five Wen, but some books that need to be carefully read will definitely not be finished within five days, that is, ten Wen, or even more. Let’s take Ten Wen as an example, then, if fifty people borrow a book, this The money earned by this book is almost the same as that of selling it, but how many times can such a book be borrowed? Take the case where it is too worn out to be read, at least [-] people can be borrowed. In this way, they can earn another five hundred yuan compared with selling five hundred yuan a book before."

After the Ninth Princess calculated the accounts, the maid immediately understood that they would have made a profit if they sold a book for five hundred coins, but if they rented it, they could earn another five hundred coins. To make more money ah.

"Master Qin, you are really smart."
