Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 553

Toilet paper quickly spread in Chang'an City.

Although this thing sounds a bit indecent, it still made the people of Chang'an City really gossip.

"I heard that the toilet paper invented by Lord Hou is very soft."

"No, it's very comfortable to wipe your butt."

"Hey, it sounds like you've used it before..."

When the news spread, Qin Tianzheng ordered Qin Wu to go to Qinjia Village to build a paper mill. Because the paper they made was of various types and would be sold all over the country, even other countries, the output must keep up.

Not only does the factory need to be large, but it also needs to have many workers. Qin Wu has to recruit people from the nearby villages, not only recruiting people, but also teaching them how to make paper.

The most important thing in papermaking is to spread the pulp. Only when the pulp is uniform, the final pressed paper will have the same thickness. Otherwise, some papers will be thin and some will be thick.

So training workers is very necessary.

Qin Tian explained to Qin Wu at the mansion, and Qin Wu nodded one after another. Just after explaining like this, before Qin Wu had time to leave, Uncle Fu hurried over.

"Master, Duke Lu and the others are here."

Hearing that Cheng Yaojin and the others were coming, Qin Tian smiled lightly and said, "Well done, let them in."

He never thought of doing it himself in the matter of the paper mill, but he didn't go to people like Cheng Yaojin either, because based on what he knew about people like Cheng Yaojin, they would run over by themselves after they smelled the fishy smell of.

They have come by themselves, and many things are easy to talk about.

Not long after, Uncle Fu brought Cheng Yaojin and the others over. In fact, it cannot be said that Uncle Fu led them, because when Uncle Fu went to fetch them, Cheng Yaojin and the others had already rushed in. .

"Well, you boy, you have invented such a useful thing, and you have all six books, how come there are not a few of us?"

As soon as he came in, Cheng Yaojin yelled loudly, and his tone was quite harsh.

Qin Tian saw them and said, "I originally wanted to send it to them, but the Ministry of Industry was just experimenting, so they didn't make many, and they were snatched up by the ministers of the sixth department. Now this Marquis is preparing to go to Qin's Village. A paper mill will be built to produce all kinds of paper on a large scale and sold all over the country, so if you really want to use it, you can buy it after the paper mill is ready."

Qin Tian said it casually, don't worry, he really let them wait to buy it. When Cheng Yaojin heard this, he immediately curled his lips: "You are so kind, why don't you tell us about things like building a paper mill, and look down on us , think we can't afford the money?"

Qin Tian pretended not to understand, and said, "What does Lu Guogong mean?"

"What do you mean? The owner of this paper mill wants to take a stake."

"National companies also invest in shares."

"Ahem, my god, the adoptive father is also a shareholder." Qin Shubao also wants to join in. Now Datang's business has not recovered, and the court is unable to reward them. Although they are not short of money, they want to be like before. It's not easy to be free like that.

Therefore, Qin Shubao was also a little tempted to make money. After all, there are so many people in the family who need money to eat and drink.

Several people expressed their opinions, but Qin Tian showed a embarrassed look.

"Everyone, it's not that I don't want to cooperate with you. It's that I don't own the paper industry alone. The imperial court will take [-]% of the profits, but if the imperial court doesn't pay the capital, then if the capital is paid, the profits will be relatively small." Less, I really can't do such a thing."

The implication is that if these people buy shares, the profit they get is not very high, maybe only [-]% or even less than [-]%.

When Qin Shubao and the others heard this, they were taken aback for a moment. They didn't expect that Qin Tian would be willing to give the imperial court [-]% of the profits for nothing. This was definitely not a businessman's behavior.

But they don't care, now that the court is in danger, why not pay for the construction of the factory and give the court [-]% of the profit?

"That's it. Let's just say how much money you need." Cheng Yaojin and the others are not stupid, they know that even if they give the court [-]% of the profit, they still make money.

Paper is very expensive, and it is sold all over the country. How much profit is this?

Especially toilet paper, which is inseparable from every convenience. It is simply a must-use item for dignitaries. It consumes a lot of money and makes a lot of money.

After several people put out such words, Qin Tian couldn't refuse, so he could only reluctantly agree.

After such a response, several people discussed the principal payment and the later profit dividends. After the discussion, Cheng Yaojin and the others were happy this time, and directly sent someone to bring the money.

Qin Wu took the money, without hesitation, went directly to Qinjia Village to build a factory.

Qin Tian also breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, paper mills are sure to make money, but to sell them all over the country, the initial investment cost is also very high. It is really not a small expense for him to undertake all of them by himself.

The key is that the profit in the later stage will be divided into [-]% by the court.

Therefore, to reduce the pressure and share the risk, Qin Tian is still more willing to share the risk, although he will earn less money in the later stage.

His principle of doing business is to make money together, otherwise he will be jealous.

The paper mill was proceeding smoothly like this, and when the paper mill was under construction, Qin Tian had already started attracting investment in Chang'an City.

No matter what kind of paper, after it is made, it is impossible to say that they send people to sell it everywhere, and it must be handed over to other merchants for other merchants to sell, so now it is very important to sign contracts with some merchants to facilitate the business. necessary.

First, after signing the contract, these merchants need to pay a part of the deposit, which will greatly reduce the pressure on Qin Tian and the others. Moreover, controlling production according to the signed order can also save costs.

In Chang'an City, the news about toilet paper has already spread. The merchants are looking for profits, and the merchants are relatively good-looking. Knowing that such a new creature is something that rich and powerful merchants in other places are simply flocking to. If it is sold locally, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it.

There are still many rich people in this world.

Therefore, after Qin Tian started attracting business, these businessmen flocked to him. For a while, Qin Tian had too many orders to keep up.

The business is very good, even if it has not been completed, the business is already very good, Qin Tian and the others are relieved, but others are very envious, such as Gao Shilian.

He was very puzzled, it was a very ordinary paper business, how could it be so good, bamboo paper didn't seem to have much sales?

Is it because of the toilet paper?
Incredible.
