Chapter 55: The richest man in Chang'an

A group of four arrived at Prince Liang's Mansion. The football match on the martial arts field was not over yet. More than 20 people were in a mess, including Qin Huaiyu, and the scene was quite chaotic.

"Oops, you actually stepped on my foot, look at my **** legs!"

"Ah... scumbag!"

"Can you kick it!"

"I can't kick? Then let's go heads-up and see who can juggle the ball better!"

"I'm still afraid of you..."

…

Li Yan is not surprised by such a situation. These one-headed guys start playing tricks as soon as they kick the ball, which is very much the style of a contemporary top team.

"Looks like fun?" Cheng Huailiang saw Qin Huaiyu having a great time playing in it, and rubbed his hands ready to move.

Xiao Rui said at this moment: "Don't be in a hurry, you see, although the scrambling and scrambling of these more than 20 people is very chaotic, there are some tricks under their feet, and they are definitely not robbing randomly. This football must be like polo. Likewise, it has its own rules!"

Li Yan looked at Xiao Rui in surprise, this kid has good observation skills, and he saw the doorway in just a short while.

Qin Huaiyu in the field kicked the football far away with a big kick. Seeing Li Yin and his party, he came over wiping his sweat, "Your Highness, this football is really interesting. It's really fun to play and exercise at the same time. good!"

"Your Highness, teach me too!" Cheng Huailiang became more and more impatient, no one of their age would like such passionate sports.

Li Yin thought about it, this season should also engage in some entertainment projects, people in the Tang Dynasty eat and watch the sky, after the autumn harvest, the long winter will be the most leisure time of the year, what are you doing if you don’t play at this time?

"Of course it's no problem. By the way, we need more noble children. This game needs a lot of people!" Li Yin hugged Lu Boyan, and this kid had a lot of dandies.

Lu Boyan patted his chest, "No problem, wrap it on me!"

…

After all, football is just an entertainment activity, so it is enough for Li Yin to spend some time with them to play, and the usual work cannot be left behind. The newspaper has been published for a while, and some shrewd businessmen finally come to their door, and this is not The other person is Dou Yun, known as the richest man in Chang'an.

"Grassman Dou Yun, see Your Highness!" Dou Yun is a middle-aged man in his forties. Dou Yun donated a large sum of money to the imperial court. Li Shimin took great care of the Dou family and even wrote a special letter for him. It is said that this Dou Yun framed Li Shimin's words and hung them in the main hall. When the officials came back, he showed them all, so that those officials with bad ideas couldn't open their mouths, and they all left in despair.

Li Yin does not know the richest man, but there are rumors that the Dou family seems to be very close to the prince, and the money they donate to the East Palace every year is no less than 500,000 guan, which shows his strong financial resources.

Li Chengqian has tripped Li Yin a few times, and Li Yin knows it well, but he still looks respectful when he sees the prince on weekdays. It hangs on the face, and it is the same for the prince's people.

"So it's shopkeeper Dou!" Li Yin greeted him with a smile, "Please come inside, please come inside!" Li Yin let Dou Yun into the room.

Dou Yun was a little flattered, he didn't expect the sixth prince to be so approachable.

After the two sat down, Li Min cut to the chase and said, "Master Dou wants to advertise in the commercial newspaper?"

"Exactly, I don't know how much your Highness's advertisement cost?" Dou Yun carefully observed every detail change on Li Min's face, he was able to play like a fish in water with officials in the business field, and became the richest man in Chang'an. It is not only a clever mind, but also the ability to observe the situation and seek good fortune and avoid harm in time.

Li Yin said: "The advertising fee depends on the size of the page and the length of the publication time. It depends on the intention of shopkeeper Dou. Take the advertisement of Xinghua Wine as an example, the advertising fee for a day is 1,000 guan."

"So expensive?" Dou Yun was a little surprised. Since the first day of the issue of Shengtang Commercial Daily, he has seen the business opportunities in it, especially the last edition of the advertisement. Li Yin's move made Quan Chang'an aware of it. It is said that this Shengtang Commercial Daily will open branches in other states and counties, and distribute the newspapers to every place. If this is the case, it will have a huge influence. At this point, he came to the door, but he didn't expect that the fee would be so high.

Dou Yun's surprise was not fake. After all, newspapers are still a new product. It is normal for businessmen to be skeptical. It's just that Li Yin understands the power of the media. When one day his newspapers spread all over the Tang Dynasty, these people Businessmen will understand.

"That's right, it's very expensive. If shopkeeper Dou can accept it, then go and discuss the details with Steward Jin just now. If you find it unacceptable, I won't force it. After all, the products of Shengtang Chamber of Commerce also need advertisements!" Li Min put on a strong face His posture clearly told Dou Yunai whether to buy it or not. If he showed weakness, it would make these merchants even more suspicious.

After hesitating for a while, Dou Yun stood up, "Your Highness, please allow me to think about it for a few more days, after all, this is not a small sum!"

"Yes!" Li Yin said.

Dou Yun's mansion is in the southeast of Chang'an City. The scale is not smaller than that of any noble official's mansion. There are all kinds of pavilions, rockeries and fish ponds in the mansion, which are extremely luxurious.

Dou Yun just entered the door when a girl in a beaded head and a red dress greeted her, "Father, how are you?"

This girl is Dou Yun's daughter, Dou Hairuo. Dou Yun has no children, only this daughter, so she loves Dou Hairuo in every possible way, and Dou Hairuo has inherited Dou Yun's talent. He has an excellent business mind at a young age. Dou Yun was also amazed by some novel ideas.

"It's too expensive, one thousand guan a day!" Dou Yun said, "This sixth prince really knows how to raise prices!"

Dou Hairuo accompanied Dou Yun to the yard, and said: "In my daughter's opinion, this price is not expensive for the sixth prince."

"That's right, which products of the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce are not ridiculously expensive and can be sold well. Take this perfume as an example, a bottle costs ten pennies. One day's advertisements let him sell an extra one hundred bottles, and his money is 100 cents." We earned it back, but the products in our hands have such a high profit!" Dou Yun shook his head and said.

Dou Hairuo said: "It's just like this, our Jiannan wine is even more difficult to sell. Now the overwhelming advertisements let even three-year-old children know about the apricot blossom wine in Prince Liang's Mansion, and our Jiannan wine is almost forgotten Now, we can’t compare with Xinghua wine, but when people buy wine, you can remember that there is also a kind of Jiannan wine, and we don’t need to advertise every day, just a few days a month. That’s it, it’s only a few thousand sticks!”

"That's right!" Dou Yun slapped his head, "I'm old after all, I've always thought about being in an advertisement every day, why didn't I think of this!"
