Chapter 111： First business

After the Lantern Festival, An Ziran and Fu Wutian began to arrange a trip to Ali Township. If things go well, they may be able to come back years ago.

The industry of Junzicheng has been handed over to trustworthy people. The most important small farms also have Futian soldiers disguised as ordinary farmers to help guard. Even if Jiangsheng finds the existence of small farms, they can't get close.

Without the chemicals and key steps of caustic soda, no matter how they think of it, they can't make the bones of the cattle white.

As for the cards, after knowing what paper is used, Baohua gambling has begun to produce a large number of cards. The process of playing cards is not complicated, so it is foreseeable that the other party will compete with the Tianlong gambling house for the market.

Fortunately, their speed is slower than the card workshop.

Before Li Zhen, according to An Ziran’s instructions, he bought the official papers and stocks of several papermaking workshops in Junzi City. Nowadays, there are no stocks in several workshops. They need to re-paper, and papermaking is delicate, especially precious. The famous product.

Baohua gambling had to wait, and during the time they waited, Li Zhen workshop had already made the first lot of cards, just the second day after the Lantern Festival.

Li Zhen took this good news to find the palace.

An Ziran called him directly to the study room to discuss this matter.

"The son, the first batch of five thousand cards has been produced. According to your instructions, all the materials used for printing are the best, and the cost is too high. This is a sample, you can see." Put a deck of cards with him in front of him.

An Ziran picked up the cards, and from the appearance, it is almost no different from what he saw in the past.

The technology of the two time and space is far from wide. It is impossible to make a card like the 21st century. He can only let Li Zhen change as much as possible, although the cost is relatively high, but the advantage of being willing to pay the cost is that the card looks better than the past. More upscale.

The cost of a deck of cards is seventy dollars, in addition to the workers' wages, these should also be added.

Fortunately, the consumers they are targeting are only those who are wealthy, so in terms of price, Li Zhen suggested that he can sell a pair of 150 yuan.

The cards of the Baohua gambling house have been made for a while, so now their cards are exclusive.

Li Zhen has investigated that the cards are very popular in the gambling area. This boom has not been reduced yet, but the area of ​​the gambling house is limited, and some gamblers have not played, so they all hope to buy a pair from the gambling house. The cards go back to play.

For gamblers, 150% of the money is far from being able to win or lose in the gambling house. Buying a pair can go back and play for a long time. Why not?

As for the cards that will be launched in the future, if they are lower than them, they can also make appropriate adjustments in price, reduce profits or reduce costs.

"According to what you said, tomorrow morning, you will send people to send 5,000 pairs of cards to the gambling house. I will let people publicize." An Ziran said to him after reading.

"Yes, then I will do it immediately." Li Zhen said to him and said goodbye to him.

An Ziran nodded.

Not long after Li Zhen left, Fu Wutian came in and saw Li Zhen’s cards on the case and looked up.

An Ziran looked at him and looked at him. "I don't understand one thing."

"What?" Fu Wutian walked around the table and walked behind him.

An Ziran said: "It is about the five emperors."

Fu Wutian thought that he wanted to ask Fu Yuancheng of the second emperor. It was unfortunate that he was Fu Yuanjian, the five emperor. Although he was not in the city of Junzi before, he also heard about his affairs. "You want to ask him that there is a support from Zhao, and he is fully capable." Competing for the throne, but he is not only interested in the throne, but instead supporting Fu Yuancheng?"

"Not bad!"

He has had this question for a long time.

Fu Wutian explained: "This is not a secret. Fu Yuanjian does have capital, but he and Yuan Fan are not here."

"Oh?" An Ziran noticed that his name for the two cousins ​​was different. It seems that only Fu Yuanfan and Fu Wutian have a slightly better relationship.

"Fu Yuanjian is actually like Wang Hao. He is very interested in doing business. This king once heard a secret. Fu Yuanjian seems to want to be the first business in Da Ya, but Wang Hao also knows that Chongming Emperor does not like businessmen, so his goal is as long as Chongming Emperor One day in the world can't be realized."

"His ambition is not small." An Ziran understands that the first business of Da Ya is not so good, but once this goal is achieved, it is equal to the economic control of Da Ya.

Fu Wutian looked down at him and his mouth was hooked. "His ambition is really not small, but compared with Wang Hao, it is a small witch."

With Wang Hao’s goal, it is absolutely impossible to be the first business in Da Ya.

An Ziran did not answer this time.

Fu Wutian was not surprised. He continued: "Fu Yuanjian needs someone to support him in order to achieve this goal. This person must be the future emperor, and he is a person who agrees with his business."

"So he will choose Fu Yuancheng without the mother to help, not only because he is the best person to board the throne, but also because he can only choose Fu Yuancheng."

"Not bad."

There are mountains behind the Great Emperor and the Three Emperors, and they are not close to the Zhao family. Especially the Yu family, Yu Bofei holds the Imperial Guards and has conflicts with the interests of the Zhao family. The two sides have been fighting for the military power of the Imperial City. In recent years, because Zhao Yi has caused friction, it is almost impossible to cooperate.

It is coincidental that Fu Yuancheng understood Fu Yuanjian's thoughts, and supported him. In fact, Fu Yuanjian can only cooperate with him, but this is also related to his two people and Zhao Yi from a young age.

For Fu Yuanjian's decision, although Zhao Gang and Yunxiao did not agree very much, Zhao Yi agreed, because he knew that Fu Yuanjian was not the material of the emperor.

"We can accept Fu Yuanjian and Zhao Yi, Fu Yuancheng is really very capable!"

Hearing his words, An Ziran agreed to the point, suddenly remembered another thing, and suddenly raised his head, "as you said, the behind-the-scenes people of Baohua gambling house will not be Fu Yuanjian?"

Fu Wutian was somewhat surprised by his sensitivity.

An Ziran saw his expression and knew that he should have guessed it. Fu Yuanjian and Fu Yuancheng are people on board, no matter which one is the same.

......

Early the next morning, Li Zhen personally brought the cards to the gambling house. Because of the back door, there were not many people who saw it. Everyone did not know that the first lot of cards had been completed until the gambling propaganda. open.

An Ziran’s plan is to temporarily sell the first cards in the casino, because gamblers are the best propaganda, and they help the gambling house to pass the word, not to spread it in a half day, but the results are better than he expected. .

The four thousand cards that were sold for sale sold out in less than a day. After knowing that one pair was one hundred and fifty cents, some gamblers felt very lively and painful, but when they thought about the rarity of this thing, they bought it. One pair.

Some people even bought five pairs. If they are not limited to one gambling, they can buy more than five. They are likely to buy more, and hesitate for a long time. When they make up their minds, they are sold out, and they regret it one by one. No.

The remaining thousand cards were arranged by An Ziran.

Five hundred of them were given to the gold card members of the small garden as the welfare of the members.

Another 500 pairs, An Ziran had already set up a shop in the past, ready to open a shop selling cards in Junzi City, really facing the people, as to how many people will buy, they will not be willing to give up.

After the news of the card shop spread out, those who did not buy ran to the outside of the shop early in the morning, and the result was quickly sold out. Excluding the cost and labor, the 5,000 pairs of cards earned three or four. One hundred two.

In the past, Li Zhen could not imagine that he would be able to make so much money in one day. This result made him more determined to cooperate with An Ziran.

It is a pity that the second batch of cards will take a while to produce. As for the mahjong tiles, An Ziran intends to wait for them to come back from Ali Town and promote them. As long as they have the technology, they don't have to worry about being preempted by Baohua gambling.

......

At the same time, Baohua gambling welcoming their master.

Luoyang and Jiang Sheng did not expect that the master would come over personally. When he was scared, he guessed that the master must have heard about the cards.

Both of them were very embarrassed, and when they arrived in the box, they saw the expression of the anger of the master. As soon as they saw them coming in, a pair of eyes with anger were immediately on them.

"This king will hand over the matter to you, and you will give this answer to the king?" Fu Yuanjian said as he slammed the cups in his hands toward them, and the fragments of the cups splashed around, almost everywhere.

Luo Yang didn't talk with his eyes down. After calming down, he was not as fearful as before.

The current person in charge of Baohua gambling house is not him, but Jiang Sheng, he is responsible, but Wang Ye is angry to be the person in charge of the current gambling workshop.

"Wang Ye, the workshop is making every effort to build the official card paper. In a few days, a batch of 5,000 pieces of official card paper can be created. It should be too late in time." Jiang Sheng explained with a hard scalp.

“What do you know!” Fu Yuanjian snorted. “Doing business is to start with a strong hand. You said that it takes three days to get the official card paper. The time for making the card, until then, the Tianlong gambling house has already produced The second batch of the third batch of cards is out. At that time, do you think there is room for our cards to play?"

Jiang Sheng is not the material of doing business. Of course he does not know this kind of thing, but even knowing it is helpless, because the three days are indeed the fastest.

He wants to buy in other counties in the past, but the official card paper is not a famous product that can be promoted. The production near the Junzi City is not as good as a papermaking workshop in the city. It is far from the state and county, but it is too far away. It’s been more than three days.

Fu Yuanjian actually knows, but he needs a place to vent.

He is determined to be the first business in Da Ya, Baohua gambling is only the first step, because he needs to make more money to do other things.

However, in his life creed, no matter which industry he is doing, he wants to do his best, but the result is being swayed when he is successful. The other party not only wins the gambling gambling, but even The business of Baohua gambling has grabbed more than half of the business, resulting in the income of gambling houses gradually becoming worse than before.

Now, the other side has introduced what kind of card mahjong. If the Tianlong gambling house develops like this, there will be a place for them to stand in the future, so he wants Jiang Sheng and Luo Yang to find out their details as soon as possible, but he even thinks about it. The death will be, Yu Bofei’s confidant Gong Yun even dared to break his good deeds.

The only explanation is that the Tianlong gambling house may be related to the Yu family.

Fu Yuan Jianyue thinks that it must be like this. Yu Jiasu is not in harmony with Zhao. This is already the fact that the entire Gentleman City knows. Gong Yun’s instigation with Yu Bofei’s instigation can explain it.

I don't know, even this incident has only been heard by Yu Bofei.

Just when Fu Yuanjian scolded his own incompetence, Gong Yun was also called in front of Yu Bofei. The reason was related to the fact that he took the Guards Army to Zhao’s home.
