”Young Master Wang, this is one million two hundred thousand!” Du Xiangyang carefully reminded.
Bing Ying smiled, ”Anyway, you don't have to worry about the money!”
Even if he had enough capital to invest, how could he make a profit? If he couldn't make money, he wouldn't be able to carry out his great plan! Du Jin was a businessman.
Bing Ying laughed, ”You still don't understand? Newspapers can be published for free! When everyone reads the newspaper! How many business opportunities were there? If a restaurant wanted to advertise their popularity, they would need to advertise themselves in the newspapers. Of course, advertising had to be charged! If someone wanted to become famous, or to find someone, or to get married, that person also needed to be advertised. ”Wait, wait, wait.”
Du Golden Light's eyes lit up!
”This... This is indeed a wonderful plan to get rich! ”
”Selling advertisements!”
”This is much more profitable than selling newspapers or books!”
Bing Ying continued, ”And! If the contents of the newspaper are attractive, when everyone accepts the newfound importance of the newspaper, they can only charge a bit more. ”
Du Jin continued excitedly, ”The circulation of newspapers is big enough. Even if the fees are low enough, it would still be a huge fortune!”
Bing Ying laughed, ”Boss Du, are you confident now?”
Seeing that she was very confident, Du Jin's hesitant heart wavered. However, he still shook his head and rejected her suggestion, ”No! Still not good enough! It required a large amount of manpower and time. In order to ensure the quality of the engraving, a skilled engraving worker must be hired. The cost of this investment was enormous. Furthermore, it was impossible for it to be done in the world! Normally, a page with both sides of it would take at least three days to be made! Add printing, ink, air-drying... ”
Upon hearing that, Bing Ying was startled: ”Boss Du! ”You say that you are still working on it?”
Du Jin replied, ”Yes! Before printing, you naturally need to carve a template and then ink it... ”
Bing Ying said, ”Wait! ”You mean, carving a complete template?”
Du Jin nodded again!
Ice kept saying, ”Oh my god! How could it be rigid? Why is printing so rigid? ”
Make a fuss!
She was indeed a lady who lived like a prince. She didn't even know how to carve a template!
Why is it strange that any printing requires the carving of a template?
Du Jin was looking down on Bing Ying for making such a big fuss of nothing!
However, when Bing Ying said that sentence, Du Golden Light's face immediately turned pale. His expression became stiff and he remained silent!
Bing Ying said loudly, ”Why don't you know how to print live characters?”
”Live... Live... The printing press? ”
Du Golden Light was dumbfounded!
It was as if he was a child that had suddenly arrived at a huge toy city. He was completely dumbfounded!
It was as if he had seen a completely new world!
”Wh …” What is living... The printing press? ”Master Wang, can you explain it in detail?”
Du Jin was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly.
Ice said, ”The art of printing is to carve all the words into a separate template. When you have to print a book with different content, you have to arrange the words together. The movable type printing only needs to be carved once, and can be reprinted countless times! ”
”Oh my god!”
”This... ”This …”
”Why have I never thought of it?”
”Young Master Wang! You really are my, Du Golden Light's, benefactor! No! You are the most beloved scholar in the world! Do you know that your suggestion just now was recorded in history and became an eternal legend?! From now on, the printing press will be in an entirely new era! ”
”Heh heh. I was just saying that. ”
Ice said in her heart: What legend is this? In China, there was live printing more than a thousand years ago! It wasn't me who invented this thing!
But of course, she wouldn't reveal it.
Du Golden Light said excitedly, ”I have the Lifestyle Printing Technique! He would never need to carve another plate! It greatly saved the cost of manpower and material resources, and also saved a lot of time! From then on, printing a book will not even take six hours! ”
Bingying struck the iron while it was still hot: ”Then how does Boss Du feel about this collaboration?”
”Of course! Of course! He had to cooperate! If Young Master Wang does not cooperate with me, I will work with you! ”
Du Jin nodded furiously, as if he was afraid that Bing Ying would go back on her word.
Bing Ying smiled, ”I already said that you would definitely agree to cooperate!”
Du Jin said: ”To be able to meet such a noble person like Young Master Wang, I, Du Ming, am truly an ancestral grave grass growing! Young Master, if you like this Sunset Cloud Book Bureau, I am willing to give it to you! It's just that there's one small request! ”
Bing Ying said, ”What request?”
Du Jin said, ”This Board of Books is the inheritance of our Du Family's three generations! Although I have been losing money for the past few years, I have always relied on my connections as a friend in the martial arts world. So, no matter what happens, I hope that Young Master Wang can preserve the name of the Sunset Cloud Book Bureau! ”
After saying that, he looked at Bing Ying with anticipation …
Bing Ying thought for a while and said, ”…”
However, Bing Ying hadn't even opened her mouth. Afraid that she would reject, Du Jin quickly said, ”Young Master Wang! I beg you, no matter what happens, to keep this name! I am willing to give my services to the Bureau, and from now on, I will serve you with my life! Please! Please give the Du Family a chance to shine! ”
