"So…it's a collaboration?"
Ba Qing looked at his clear eyes and his expression immediately became awkward. His beautiful face instantly turned red!
This kid was too good at acting. Just now, he was still acting wretched, but now, he suddenly returned to being serious.
She had mistakenly thought that he was coveting her body!
So he had other motives!
It was purely a misunderstanding, or rather, it was wishful thinking!
"Yes, I am!"
"Otherwise, what should I do?"
Ying Ziye widened his eyes and asked seriously.
"I, I thought…"
Ba Qing, who had always had a strong aura and was generous, was embarrassed and flustered for the first time.
She blushed and lowered her head slightly, not knowing what to say.
However, she was a legendary figure after all. She quickly adjusted her mood and changed the topic."Your Highness, isn't 80% too much?”
"I have to pay for the construction of the workshop, put in the effort, and be responsible for sales, but I only get 20% of the profits!”
"And His Highness will just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others 'labor. He doesn't have to care about anything and can get 80% of the profits!”
"Isn't this too unfair?"
"How about this? We'll split the profits 50 - 50.”
Ba Qing, who had regained his composure, fully exerted his negotiation ability and started bargaining with Ying Ziye.
She wasn't sure if the Ninth Prince was a silkpants!
But one thing she was sure of was that she had been pampered since she was young. She did not know the sufferings of the people, nor did she know how to do business.
If he exaggerated the difficulty of the production and sales process, he would most likely compromise!
Therefore, she only talked about her own contributions and did not talk about profits and prospects!
"50 - 50?"
Ying Ziye was amused." Paper instead of bamboo slips, you know the market prospects without me telling you!”
"In addition, this is an exclusive monopoly business. We have the final say on the price!”
"If I'm not wrong, even if I only give you 20% of the profits, you'll earn more than all your other businesses combined!”
"This Young Master will give you half a day to consider. If you don't do this business, this Young Master will find someone else!”
"Right, I heard that Wu Shiluo is also in Xianyang City…!”
To her surprise, although this kid had been raised like a prince since he was young, he knew business like the back of his hand!
For a moment, she had a whole new level of respect for him.
"Do, do, do…!"
"Since Your Highness has already decided, how can I dare to disobey?”
Hearing that he was going to find someone else to work with, Ba Qing panicked and quickly agreed.
This was a rare opportunity to earn money. If he missed it, he would suffer a huge loss!
"Yes! That's more like it!"
"To be honest, other than paper making, I also have movable type printing!”
"This so-called movable type printing technique can quickly print books in large quantities without manual writing!”
Seeing that she was so easy to control, Ying Ziye was ready to hand over the printing business to her.
" There's actually such a miraculous method?"
Ba Qing's beautiful eyes lit up when she heard what he said. Her interest was immediately piqued.
Nowadays, books were all written neatly on bamboo slips by scholars.
Therefore, the price was extremely expensive!
If he could print it in large quantities, not only could he reduce the cost, but the profits would also be considerable!
"That's right!"
Ying Ziye nodded," This Young Master will first give you the paper making technique. If you do well, I will also cooperate with you on the printing technique!”
"Thank you, Ninth Highness!"
Ba Qing was delighted and quickly thanked him.
She had indeed bet on the right person!
If she had stood on the wrong side when the First Emperor asked for her opinion, she would have missed this opportunity to make money today!
He would lose the Ninth Prince as his backer!
She had a premonition that this kid wasn't a simple person. Sooner or later, he would meet Feng Hua Long!
"Oh right, Your Highness, what kind of material do you need to make this paper?”
"Is the cost expensive?"
Ba Qing suddenly thought of a core question, so he asked curiously.
Although this paper was good, if the cost was high, he would not be able to earn money.
Great Qin's people were destitute, and it was difficult to sell high-priced items.
"The materials are all kinds of plants, such as trees, bamboo, and even crop straws!”
"The cost is very low. One coin of raw materials can be used to make dozens of Xuan paper!”
Ying Ziye gave her a brief introduction of the cost of the raw materials.
In the Great Qin Dynasty, the currency was called money, and one money was equivalent to one wen in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Right now, there was no silver. The only currency in circulation was money and gold!
According to historical records, silver began to circulate on a large scale in the Song Dynasty!
"The cost is actually so low!"
Hearing what he said, Ba Qing was surprised and happy, and her beautiful eyes widened.
Trees and bamboos were everywhere, not worth much.
If it wasn't for the fact that they could cook, no one would want them.
In other words, the cost of this paper was almost only the cost of labor. The cost of raw materials could be ignored!
With such a low cost, if he sold it at the price of silk, wouldn't it be a huge profit?
Nowadays, the most expensive thing to write on was silk cloth. Rich people all used this because it was convenient to carry around.
Only the poor would use bamboo slips!
If the price of Xuan paper was set slightly lower than the price of silk, business would definitely be booming!
……
"Everyone, what should we do now?”
After the morning court session, Li Si gathered with the officials to discuss countermeasures.
"This old man thinks that we should go and see His Majesty and persuade His Majesty to take care of that kid Ying Ziye!”
"It's useless. Since His Majesty has handed over the power to that kid, he must have made up his mind. With His Majesty's temper, if we remonstrate, we will only be asking for a snub!”
"Lord Feng is right. Rather than going to see His Majesty, why don't we think of a way to deal with that kid Ying Ziye? He's just a kid who's still wet behind the ears.”
"Yes! Didn't he ask us to collect taxes and divide the land? Let's not let him get what he wants. Let's think of a way to give him a difficult problem. After a long time, he will definitely retreat!”
"That's a good idea! However, we still have to obediently listen to him on the surface. Otherwise, we'll be defying His Majesty's will. We'll only secretly trip that kid up and give him a headache!”
"Good! The next time we go to court, we'll ask him for money and food first and give that kid a show of strength!”
"Yes! This is a brilliant plan. It's decided. As long as we civil and military officials are united, we can pull down a kid.”
"In a few days, when His Majesty sees that he hasn't made any achievements, he will definitely take back his power. At that time, this kid will lose his favor!”
"I want to see how long this kid can jump around for. Haha!"
In the end, the civil and military officials finally came up with a good plan. They were prepared to disobey and drag Ying Ziye down!
"Old Master, bad news! The mansion is surrounded!”
Just as everyone was laughing with confidence, Li Si's butler ran in in a panic.
……
The current rating was 704. If it could reach 1,000 today, he would add two more chapters.
There's still more than 200 left. Big shots, let's just let this little failure be as you wish…
