Chapter 61 Chatting Generates Business Opportunities
Still can’t rest at night, Igor and Tyrion are crowded in the room, Under the lighting of a dozen candles, the world's first Night's Watch bond was made.

A stack of the highest grade parchments that can be bought in King's Landing is placed on the table, and after the two have final discussions on the contents of the bond, they start working. Tyrion's looks are not flattering, but the characters are written quite nicely. Igor was used to using the computer before crossing, and even the Chinese characters were a mess, not to mention the words of Westeros. No way, the mission to write the content of the first bond fell on his shoulders, dwarf followed the draft, and did not dare to transcribe it word by word - God is pitiful, he even wrote a letter to the oneself father Duke Tywin Never been so serious.

"Huh..." After writing the first one, Tyrion cautiously held the corners of the paper, lifted it up, took a breath, put it aside to dry, then picked up the second piece of paper and placed it in front of him . He has been back to King's Landing for a week, and he didn't even go to a brothel once. He couldn't believe it when he said it... This feeling of finding something to do and no longer empty inside is really wonderful.

Igor sat across from him, editing and revising a draft full of things, but he couldn't be satisfied. The bond is just that big piece of paper. Naturally, it is impossible to write all the agreements and rules on it. He intends to organize it and get a big-character poster-like notice posted on the wall of the Night's Watch office, allowing visitors to see and explain. ,more clearly.

"It's enough to write two meanings, and rest early. The same content on the bond is not the key, but the signature and seal at the time of signing and subsequent anti-counterfeiting measures are the key."

"Yes, I'll hire someone to do it tomorrow."

"Hire someone to copy the bonds? Why is it so troublesome to find a shop to print..." Igor's words suddenly got stuck, because he found that oneself doesn't know what words are printed in the Common Language of Westeros.

"What are you trying to say?"

Igor struggled to get Tyrion to understand the meaning of printing, and finally had to resort to a trick: "Well, it's the The content of the bond can be made into an oversized seal, and just cover it with a piece of paper."

"It's so clever, how could I didn't expect it!" Tyrion's eyes lit up: " Is this also your technology, the Chinese people are really smart, sometimes I am glad that we are separated by the sunset sea."

"Doesn't Westeros have this technology, so how do you make your books?"

"Copy, there are people who specialize in this business, earn some hard money..." Tyrion replied without hesitation, and then reacted immediately, with a cold sweat on his back: "Fuck... how, it seems What's wrong!"

Igor also understood at this time why oneself didn't know how to say printing in Westeros language, it turned out that the world of printing did not exist at all.

The two looked at each other in shock: This is a business opportunity!
Igor immediately had a more in-depth exchange with Tyrion about the book and learned more about this - in this era of Westeros, books were completely copied by hand, and the handwriting of the copyee was good-looking and neat. Affected by factors such as the quantity and accuracy of book content, as well as the binding quality, the price of a book ranges from several Silver Stags to several Golden Dragons. For some books, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a luxury!
"Damn, is this why China is advanced and powerful?" Tyrion is a smart man, he immediately realized the advantages of printing applications in popularizing knowledge and culture, which will be a revolutionary impact on social development Technology! "We can build a book printing factory, and then make money by selling books, and use the money you raised... No, it's too late, I'll advance the money first, and start as soon as possible!"

......

But Igor shook his head, things are not so simple, in the case of backward technology, printing is not necessarily low cost, hard work to get a mold out, if only print dozens of hundreds of books , it would be better to hire someone to copy and save money, and if there is a lot of printing, the real problem comes - who will buy it?

Tyrion is a smart and literate person. He hopes that everyone is literate and understandable, but what oneself needs to consider is how to make the money available to make the game continue, don't do it. It has become a Ponzi scheme, and he needs projects that are sure to make money, instead of printing a bunch of excellent literature or popular science works, making long-term contributions to the cultural development of Westeros.

Simply put - in what position to consider what issue, oneself has not squeezed into the ruling class, and it is a fool to think about such a great thing.

After thinking about it, he quickly thought of a few things that are just needed by society. The market is huge, and the printing cost must be lower than hand-copying - such as calendars, such as The Seven Holy Book, and easy-to-use products. Learn ghost stories for all ages! oneself can cooperate with Church, Bard and other institutions and individuals to make the funds in hand work!
The idea of wanting to come to come caught people off guard, and with a wave of his quill, he crossed out a fiercely on the original schedule.

"What did you cross out?"

"I originally planned to control the number of bond issuances, because the scale of funds expanded without a way to really make money. The sooner the scam is, the more unsustainable it is, but now that there are projects that can make money, this one is meaningless!" Igor said excitedly: "It's clear what we're going to do with the first money we get, so we can start right away. Recruit people with stamping skills - no need for the professional old masters in the King's Landing stamp shop, expensive and unaffordable, apprentices and those with certain experience are enough, and then contact the paper dealer, we will need a large and stable supply next. Cheap paper, I have something to do."

"Hey, you originally planned to control the number of bonds issued? Are you really confident that people will beg to lend you money?"

"If something goes wrong If it goes well, I will dare to raise the interest rate, and then people who want to lend me money will line up from Red Keep to Gate of the Gods!" Igor blew confidently. "Let's come here today, have a good rest tonight, and we will split up tomorrow, and we will each do our own business!"

＊＊＊

In countless farming texts, transmigrators can always rely on the original world The knowledge mastered in the dynamo quickly dug up the first pot of gold, but it was Igor's turn to do it, only to realize that it was so difficult to turn knowledge into money - he knew the principle of the fuel engine, knew that the Generator relies on magnetism to generate electricity, and even knew that How can planes and cosmic spaceships go to the sky, but these damn high-techs are useless in this world in this era! There are many people who know the principle, who can make one? Not to mention the entire finished product, with Westeros' materials and industrial level, even a single screw on the plane could not be produced.

Who would have thought that at this time when he was at a loss, the two casual chats made him discover business opportunities. This world is far behind his expectations. To make money in this world, there is no need at all. The level of knowledge he thought of before, the technologies and objects that were commonplace in daily life and even eliminated, are all new here!

I still remember when I was just learning to speak as a child, my parents asked me, which is better between father and mother?
All good!

This is the first time in my life to be smart. Who wants to think through childhood, grandfather grandfather and grandfather have to give this example every time they praise me for being smart. It's really interesting to think about.

Which is important, industry or finance? My God, don't say I haven't studied finance, even if I did, I wouldn't dare to say that finance is more important. Isn't this tm looking for a spray? Of course, the correct answer is all important!
But I boast that finance is a "great display of human imagination", so why does industry join in the fun? big brother, you are not imagination, you are productivity, why should you surrender yourself? Can we stop talking about this unfathomable mystery?
Of course, let’s just discuss and watch the excitement, but please control your emotions, don’t be mystifying, let alone attack yourself. Once you find out, no matter who’s right or wrong, just delete + mute, thank you!
Finally, brainstorm, if you travel to the world of ice and fire, how will you make money?
