Chapter 131 Business and Gossip
"Everyone, don't leave, let's have a good chat... Let's talk about what you said before... By the way, weren't you very unruly before? Why are you so weak now? I still like your unruly look! Haha..."
Chu Xinghe went up and just fired at the opponent's face. His arrogant and complacent look immediately made Huang Zhenren and others look unhappy. Ye Ren, who was watching quietly at the side, also had a gloomy face.
How happy they were to criticize Chu Xinghe before, how embarrassed they were to be stopped by Chu Xinghe and start criticizing again.
They were so proud and arrogant for a long time, but Jiang Fan turned around and slapped them. How could they feel happy? They had lost all their face.
Thinking of their previous arrogant and complacent look and comparing it to now, they felt like clowns.
"What? Don't you guys want to share your experiences? Let's talk! Look at the good son-in-law I found. What do you think? He's better than yours! Are you envious? Are you angry? I like to see you guys can't stand me but can't get rid of me!"
Chu Xinghe must have been suffocated by being scolded for too long, and at this moment, he really didn't look like a first-class general at all. He was just like a villain who succeeded in his career.
Huang Zhenren, Ye Ren and others were so angry at Chu Xinghe's expression that they were shaking all over, but they couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal, let alone respond!
What are you criticizing? Are you criticizing the paper Jiang Fan sells, saying it might be fake? Is he trying to prove his loss by making a profit?
If Jiang Fan could find some more evidence to prove that he was not testifying against himself, they would lose face even more.
After Jiang Fan took out the cheap paper, they knew they had lost. If they continued to criticize him, it would only be more embarrassing.
These court officials were all very shrewd and knew to retreat when they saw the situation was not good.
Just as they were shaking with anger, the paper and cloth over there were snapped up by people, whether they were the Fan-protecting or the Fan-spraying factions. They took whatever they saw.
As soon as the items were sold out, some merchants from nearby shops saw this and could not wait to run to the front of the shop and loudly asked the shop owner:
"Shopkeeper, can you tell His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince that I would like to cooperate with your newspaper? As long as our products can be listed in the business section, I am willing to pay one hundred taels!"
"Go away... You want to be listed on the commercial section for only 100 taels? You're so stupid! Shopkeeper, please tell His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince that I'm willing to pay 1,000 taels to be listed on the commercial section!"
"And me, and me..."
"I want one too. Anyway, the commercial section is big, so it's no problem to list ten products! One thousand taels for one time, it's worth it!"
They were all businessmen with keen business acumen. The emergence of the commercial section and the scene of paper and cloth being sold out made them see the commercial effect brought by newspapers.
Of course these people will not miss the chance to be in the newspaper. It is a great opportunity to make money. First come, first served!
Therefore, they can't wait to seek cooperation.
Chu Xinghe hadn't even started to enjoy himself yet when the bustle at the shop attracted their attention. Huang Zhenren, Ye Ren and others who were about to leave forcibly were stunned.
This is fucking possible, there are actually people willing to spend money to get into the commercial section.
However, seeing that the paper and cloth were sold out in an instant because of the introduction in the newspaper, if they were merchants, they would also see the power of the newspaper.
The last time, the newspaper was able to increase the sales of goods exponentially. Even if you only paid one thousand taels last time, the final profit would be more than one thousand taels.
After all, this kind of buying craze is really terrifying.
Today, among the millions of people in Beijing, it is estimated that most of them read newspapers. Even if one person can make a penny from it, it would be an astronomical figure.
At this time, the shop owner said, "Everyone, my prince said that the business section of the newspaper will be changed every ten days. The business section can accommodate ten merchants to sign up for typesetting. The fee for three days is three hundred taels of silver!"
This is what Jiang Fan instructed. Three days of commercial effect should be the most appropriate. If the time is too long, the advertising effect will be low. If it is too short, it will not achieve a certain commercial effect.
Jiang Fan didn't want any problems to occur in the business section of the newspaper, so he made this arrangement.
As soon as the merchant said this, the merchants below were overjoyed and some of them signed up immediately.
They heard that being listed in the commercial section was cheaper than they thought. Thinking of the possible profits, they were almost going crazy to be the first to be listed in the commercial section.
On Huang Zhenren's side, everyone was stunned.
They couldn't imagine that newspapers could make money in this way, even though they were now arguing with Chu Xinghe, saying that the cheap paper Jiang Fan brought was fake.
But the income from the commercial section alone can net me 30,000 taels of silver a month.
The amount of paper consumed for newspapers in a month is probably only worth ten thousand taels of silver at most.
With this calculation, even if Jiang Fan's newspaper was losing money, the business section would still make a net profit of 20,000 taels! This was not counting the fact that the newspaper itself was not losing money.
Huang Zhenren and others felt relieved. Fortunately, they had endured it and did not respond. Otherwise, they would have been embarrassed again, and would have been humiliated by being pinned to the ground by Chu Xinghe.
After getting this news, Su Zhenyuan started to criticize Huang Siwen and others again.
Didn't you say the paper was fake? What about now? Even if the paper is fake, the revenue from the business section alone is fucking lucrative! And you still say the newspaper is losing money!
Huang Siwen and others were criticized so much that they were unable to fight back. How arrogant they were some time ago was how embarrassed they were now. Those who criticized the Fan faction almost wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
When the Baofan faction saw this scene, they suddenly felt refreshed. The frustration they had been feeling for the past few days was finally released, and they erupted even more happily.
Huang Siwen was so scolded that he could only look at his father for help, hoping that he could come over and help him scold back.
But his father was in a difficult situation, so Chu Xinghe continued to scold him.
"So, even if the newspaper loses money on costs, does the business section make a lot of money? Isn't my son-in-law awesome? Do you want to think about how to criticize him... It's okay, I'll continue!"
Chu Xinghe looked at Huang Zhenren and others jokingly. With just one sentence, he made them retreat step by step. Their faces were filled with shame and irritation!
"Chu Xinghe, don't go too far..." Huang Zhenren was finally annoyed and angry, and said angrily. This guy obviously can't afford to play.
Chu Xinghe felt relieved when he saw his frustrated look. Thinking back to when he was scolded by this group of bastards and had no ability to fight back, he felt so happy!
He had no intention of stopping and continued, "No, that's too much? There are even more extreme ones! Come... let's read the newspaper..."
As he spoke, he looked at Huang Zhenren and others strangely, with an unfathomable and mocking smile on his lips. He did not forget to add: "By the way, check out the gossip section!"
Chu Xinghe deliberately raised his voice a few notches.
