Chapter 109 [Paper Mill Part 2]

"Of course, I still have to rely on Wenhua Supermarket. I have spent a lot of effort to invite Jun Shang and Mrs. Guo to come. You can't just do articles for one day, right? Zuo Sikong is a business expert. What do you think?"

"Just rely on Wenhua Supermarket? How is this possible!"

Du Zhi was disappointed and thought that this kid could have some tricks. He said so well that he became a rich man in the country and was famous for his eternal reputation. So that's it. Is your Wenhua Supermarket big enough? It's a pity that there is nothing? It's up to those pens and inks?

"Five doctors, your idea is good, but it is afraid it will be difficult to make money by selling those pens and inks. Not bad. On the first day, a lot of pens and inks were sold. Mrs. Lord likes them, and his mentor loves them very much. Have you ever thought about it? Pens and inks are ultimately useful. If you want to pass on articles throughout the ages, you still have to rely on carvings by bamboo knives. Du dares to guarantee that in a few days, your business in your store will become worse. It's a pity." In fact, Du Zhi also wanted to say it was a pity that the bitter girl and the beautiful and generous female clerks in the store. When he remembered Bai Dong's kindness to teach art, he still couldn't say it.

"Haha, I wonder Brother Du, when the ancients carved letters on the tortoise shell, did the books passed down from generation to generation have exceeded bamboo slips?"

"Of course, it's impossible to compare. Only a tortoise shell can carve a few words? How can a volume of Jianshe be more than a volume of Jianshe? What do you want to say? Do you have a way to improve Jianshe? It's impossible that Wei's bamboo books were used to make a lot of money in ancient times. Now, a method of using bamboo grass as a rope has been introduced. This will save the cost of peeling strips and silk threads, but it will cost more manpower and not preserved for a long time. A truly good article must be recorded on Wei's calligraphy. So even if you can come up with a method to improve Jianshe, it may not be recognized. Moreover, no matter how Jianshe improves, it will still use carving as a last resort. How can the pen and ink be sold?"

"No one said that I would improve it. What I want to do is to start over again. Just like when Jianshu replaced the tortoise shell, he invented a new 'in-law thing'. This thing is like a mother of the brush and ink, and cannot be separated from each other!"

"Invent? Are you trying to create something to replace Jianshu? Five doctors, aren't you lying to me?"

Who is Du Zhi? He often sighed that he was born at the wrong time and could not follow Guan Zhong's behavior. Of course, what he envied was Guan Zhong's talent for business, not the learning of governing the country. When he heard Bai Dong's words, he suddenly felt that the gold flowers were everywhere in front of him, all of them were Qin's round money, and his head was jingling, which was the sound of counting money! His hand trembled, and the hot tea he had just poured on the back of his hand but he didn't realize it, as if the hand was someone else's.

"This kind of thing is called 'paper'. You can write it on it with pen and ink, and its color will last forever! And it can also be used to paste windows. It is of great use to make fire. You can never imagine that its appearance will change Lao Qin and change the world! The most important thing is that this thing can be mass-produced, with extremely low cost and extremely large output! Brother Du is willing to work with me to create this thing, 'earning money in front of you and achieve a reputation after you'?"

"Five doctors, aren't you really joking?"

Du Zhi swallowed and spitted. He was so excited that he couldn't tell whether the spit was bitter or sweet. The golden iron in his head was full of money!

"Just? Are you a beautiful girl? I'm so idle when I'm going to talk to you about it? Just one sentence, are you doing it or not?"

"Is the land that the five doctors want is?"

"It is the ground used for building papermaking workshops. Making this kind of thing requires water and produces a odor. Therefore, we need to find a place with water and stay away from people living, especially it will cause great pollution. When flowing into the water, the fish will die, which makes people feel a little unbearable."

"Haha, the five doctors are really good at joking. I have never heard of any pollution. Fish are just things that fill their stomachs. Do you still have to support them if you are not dead? If this 'paper' is really what you said, it can affect literary affairs and change the world, what's the harm even if you make a great sacrifice? The five doctors are master disciples, how can they say such a woman's words?"

There was no concept of environmental protection in ancient times. Bai Dong looked at Du Zhi and shook his head and smiled bitterly. Even a time traveler was powerless. With the current technological level of the world, he could not solve the pollution problem himself. Du Zhi was actually right. To develop civilization, he had to make sacrifices, and he could only guide with the flow and try his best to minimize pollution.

"Okay, I will draw the patterns for building a factory on the silk book. I will naturally provide all the tools needed. You will start preparing the materials for building a factory and the things used for making paper. Here is a list, just do it accordingly. I have calculated that it will cost about 200,000 yuan to build this paper mill, and you will have to pay the money."

"Let's go, it's okay to pay. I wonder how much profit Du can get?"

"One and half. The king and his wife will keep 20% of them, and half of them will be provided to the Bai family. I only account for 60%."

"Five doctors, I heard it right? I paid for the cost of building this factory, but I only accounted for 10% of the profits. It is no problem for Mrs. Jun to occupy 20% of it. This is the way to do business. But you only occupy more than 60% of it, which seems unfair enough, right?" Du Zhi was very angry. This kid was too cruel. Looking at Lao Qin, no one could get a bargain from him!

"Fair? Has the tiger eaten rabbits said that fair? Has the nobles said that fair? When did your brother Du become a person who maintains fairness again? If you have to find a reason from me, I will tell you that this invention was what I thought of, and this is the greatest capital! Do you do it or not? As long as you shake your head, some people in Lao Qin want to cooperate with me, and I can make a 10% profit at that time. Do you believe it or not?

"Haha, believe, believe! The five doctors should not be anxious. How could Du not believe you? But I have a doubt. Since you are as good as you said, why did you look for Du first? Although Du and the five doctors are ministers in the same palace, their relationship is not deep?"

A villain is a villain. Even if Bai Dong draws a brilliant blueprint for him, he still has to make a test. He has always cheated others, so he naturally has to be afraid of being cheated by people. Moreover, Bai Dong is also famous for cheating people. This is what Mrs. Guo said, can there be any mistakes?

"There is only one reason I look for you. It is that you, Du Sikong, are a real villain, are a real villain!"

"The five doctors are really good at joking. Could it be that in your eyes, Du is so unbearable?"

"It's not unbearable, but it's very unbearable. But this is your strength. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have looked for you. I would have found a gentleman to be my business partner. At least he wouldn't have competed for profit with me."

"Five doctors, why bother to ridicule Du like this!"
