Wang from Taiyuan.
"Patriarch, I have something to report to you.”
Wang Du, the head of the Wang family, was leisurely drinking tea in his room.
The butler's voice came from outside the door.
Wang Du opened the door and the butler walked in quickly.
"What is it?"
Wang Du looked at the butler and asked in confusion.
"Shen Wansan from Fortune Fountain has started to sell books and papers.”
As he spoke, he handed a few books and papers to Wang Du.
Hearing that Shen Wansan was starting to get involved in other industries, Wang Du's eyes became serious.
Ever since Feng Yi warned Wang Du, Wang Du had never found trouble with Fu Yuan again.
However, he had always asked his subordinates to pay close attention to the various movements of Fu Yuan.
He wanted to find out who the owner of Fortune Source Restaurant was.
The humiliation and fear that Fuyuan Restaurant had brought to him last time was still fresh in Wang Du's mind.
When had he, the dignified head of the Wang family in Taiyuan, ever suffered such humiliation?
As the head of the Wang family of Taiyuan, one of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs, he was respected wherever he went.
Even the current emperor, Li Shi Min and Wang Du, did not take him seriously.
A hundred-year dynasty, a thousand-year family.
But that time, Wang Du suddenly felt that he was no different from an ordinary person.
Death was so close to him.
This dealt a huge blow to his self-esteem.
He wanted revenge. He wanted revenge on the owner of Fortune Fortune Restaurant.
As long as he could find out who the owner of the restaurant was, the Wang family of Taiyuan, with their hundreds of thousands of years of history, would be able to do so.
No matter what the other party's identity was or what kind of status they had.
He would let that person know how powerful he was.
"Selling books and paper."
Wang Du took the book washi from the housekeeper and said with some doubt.
In his opinion, the sale of books washi was not very profitable.
After all, these things were relatively expensive.
For those who wanted to reach the top by studying, the expensive price of books washi was not something they could afford.
The various aristocratic families basically had their own books and paper workshops.
He didn't need to buy it from anywhere else.
They could produce and sell themselves.
Who was Shen Wansan planning to sell these things to?
Wang Du examined the book washi in his hands and found that both the quality of the book and paper were surprisingly good.
He thought of the products in other industries of Fuyuan, which were much better than those on the market in the past.
Wang Du thought that Shen Wansan was planning to win with quality again and take the high-end route.
"These books washi are not cheap, right?”
Wang Du casually put the book in his hand aside and said.
"Not only are these books washi not expensive, they are also surprisingly cheap.”
"The paper costs one coin for ten pieces, and the book costs only a few dozen coins.”
the butler replied.
"What? How is that possible?"
"Are you sure?"
Wang Du exclaimed in disbelief.
The butler's words made Wang Du confused.
Did Shen Wansan take the wrong medicine?
The Wang family's businesses were spread across all industries. How could he not know the price of paper?
Not to mention books.
This thing was simply priceless and could not be bought on the market.
Shen Wansan actually sold it at such a low price. Was his brain squeezed by the door?
"I sold these things myself. There's no mistake.”
"What is Shen Wansan trying to do?”
"You're just pitying those nobodies and want to do charity?”
Wang Du rubbed his chin in confusion.
"Old Master, Fortune Source is selling books washi so cheaply. I think we can do something about it.”
The steward looked at Wang Du who was deep in thought.
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"Old Master, the things in Fuyuan Bookstore are so cheap. I think we can buy all of them and sell them elsewhere. Not only can we earn a lot of money, but we can also scheme against Shen Wansan of Fuyuan and take revenge for what happened last time.”
Wang Du's eyes lit up when he heard the butler's words.
In his opinion, Fuyuan Bookstore definitely wouldn't have a lot of such cheap books washi.
After all, it would take a few days for a person to copy a book.
Moreover, it would not be a good thing for the five families and seven Wangs if these books fell into the hands of those nobodies.
It was better to take it back.
If he bought all the books washi, he could sell them at a high price when Shen Wansan ran out of stock.
They could earn several times or even dozens of times.
Anger them to death.
Thinking of this, Wang Du could already imagine Shen Wansan and the people behind him being so angry.
"Alright, I'll leave this matter to you. Remember to do it discreetly. Don't let Shen Wansan find out.”
After the butler received Wang Du's order, he arranged for someone to buy books washi.
The secret purchase of books washi by the Wang family of Taiyuan was soon discovered by the Jinyiwei.
After Li Kuan received the news, he immediately understood the plan of the Wang family in Taiyuan.
"Ask Shen Wansan to control the amount of goods sold and make it look like the production is barely enough to sell near Chang 'an.”
Li Kuan instructed Liu Bowen.
He wanted to use this opportunity to trick the Wang family of Taiyuan.
When the Wang family in Taiyuan purchased a large amount of paper and books, they realized that they could have as many things as they wanted in Fuyuan Bookstore.
Moreover, they had already opened bookstores in various parts of the Great Tang.
Would he vomit blood from anger?
Thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared on Li Kuan's face.
A few days later, Wang Du found that the stock of goods in Fuyuan Bookstore was getting lesser and lesser every day.
Every time Wang Du asked the butler to buy all the books washi, the shop assistant would say that they were out of stock.
After a few times, Wang Du firmly believed that the book washi production of Fuyuan Bookstore could barely supply the vicinity of Chang 'an.
He was even more determined to let the butler continue buying.
Not only that, but he also asked the butler to buy the papers and books from others.
Wang Du smiled happily as he saw more and more books washi in his warehouse.
He could already imagine the news of him selling these papers at a high price in other places reaching Shen Wansan's ears.
Shen Wansan looked like he was vomiting blood.
Gradually, Wang Du purchased more and more books washi.
His frenzied acquisition had already drained most of the Wang family's cash.
The other businesses of the family had already been greatly affected.
Only then did Wang Du ask the butler to stop the purchase.
However, Wang Du wasn't too worried.
Although some of his other businesses had suffered some losses, as long as he sold the things in his hands, a large amount of money would return to his hands.
Not only could he make up for all those losses, but he could also make a lot of money.
When Li Kuan heard that Wang Du had stopped buying, he knew that Wang Du had reached his limit.
He then instructed Shen Wansan to open bookstores in other parts of the Tang Empire.
After that, bookstores all over the world popped up like bamboo shoots.
