"It doesn't matter what the world was like in the past, but its future must change because of us. Please believe this!"

"I believe!" seeing Li Luoyang's rare solemnity, Zhou Lin also corrected his attitude, because he knew that Li Luoyang was not bragging, because he had seen what Li Luoyang said happening. Far from it, the emergence of the printing press had greatly reduced the cost of books, and as an heir to the bookstore, Zhou Lin knows better than anyone the significance of the decline in the cost of books to the world.

More people have money to buy books, and more people will be literate. In this era, there is no saying that "science and technology change the future", but there is an understanding that "reading changes destiny". Although Zhou Lin didn't achieve such a result, he saw many real examples. For example, Liu Ting, the three generations of his ancestors, was an honest mud legged son. However, in Liu Ting's father's generation, the family had spare money for him to study. Finally, he was admitted to fame and became a local official. Although according to the regulations of the Wu Zhou court, local officials are not allowed to work in his ancestral home, However, it can be imagined that Liu Ting's family must have grown up in the original place. As long as such a family does not die prematurely, under normal circumstances, it will become a local rich family after three generations, and finally break away from the former civilian category.

This is an example of reading changing fate. It changes not only your own destiny, but also the fate of the whole family.

Wu Lin didn't put too much thought into Liaozhai anecdotes at the beginning. Although there are profits to be made, if Wu Cheng didn't go to him personally and ask him to support future generations, I'm afraid he wouldn't invest. Wu Cheng is also very clear about this, so Wu Cheng is also very concerned about the new technology, But because of his identity, he can't stay in the village outside the city day and night like Zhou Lin. either he arranges people to inquire about the news, or he can only talk to Zhou Lin or Li Luoyang when he remembers.

Fortunately, Zhou Lin is very considerate. He always goes to Wucheng to walk around every three or five times. Today, Li Luoyang came at the right time and was caught by Zhou Lin to see Wucheng.

"This is actually wrong. At least I'm also the chairman." Li Luoyang was pushed into the carriage by Zhou Lin. yes, Zhou Lin, who recently made a fortune, was finally willing to equip himself with a carriage. He felt that he was arrogant, but Li Luoyang despised it. Li Luoyang didn't know what the streets were like in the big city of Wu Zhou, but in a small place like Anning County, The main roads in the city are basically stone slabs. After leaving the city, the better is the level of flat tractor roads, and the worse is the dirt roads that can sink horses after rain.

This kind of road is basically a place for cross-country enthusiasts to toss big toys. Unfortunately, the carriage of this era is essentially different from the professional cross-country vehicle of later generations. To tell the truth, Li Luoyang would rather walk or ride in a carriage on such a road - in fact, he has never ridden a high horse. On the one hand, he has no chance, On the other hand, he is not as tall as a war horse.

After bumping into the city, Li Luoyang felt that his body was about to fall apart.

"When our company makes a profit, we'll still give you the chairman a carriage." Zhou Lin obviously adapted to his identity and quickly accepted the advanced concept of the group company, but his remarks were not welcomed by Li Luoyang. "Forget about this carriage."

"Why, do you still want to inlay gold and silver on the carriage? It's easy to exceed the system. No, it's easy to have big problems!"

"You think too much." Li Luoyang rolled his eyes. He is not so superficial. Can a luxurious appearance change the feeling of riding? No, what Li Luoyang wants is not "gold and jade, but the external scandal". If one day he needs a carriage, it must be the most comfortable carriage in the world. At least it must have elastic tires, strong and flexible suspension, spacious internal space and soft sofa that can make people sleep

"What are you thinking, so absorbed?"

"Ah?" Li Luoyang woke up from his fantasy and found that daydreaming was still good. At least he could get to the door of Wu Cheng's family without suffering that crime.

"I've seen the county Lord."

"I've seen the county Lord."

"Ha, why are you so polite? One of you is the chairman and the other is the general manager. I should give you a gift. Please come in, please come in, come on, serve tea, serve good tea!"

From knowing Li Luoyang to now, Wu Cheng's view of this weak crown teenager has changed again and again, and Li Luoyang's position in his heart has been raised again and again. Wu Cheng doesn't remember when he didn't regard him as a child.

"Thank you, county leader." Li Luoyang and Zhou Lin sat down honestly. After thanking the gift, the two sides had just begun to exchange greetings. Wu Chengcheng couldn't wait to turn the topic to the printing press and printing factory.

"The initial estimate cost has dropped by more than 30%, of course, it is not calculating the cost of printing press." Zhou Lin, the general manager, will look at the old man in the tea, Li Luoyang, and how much money the printing press has. That's the "little master" has the final say. When we were co operating, Li Luoyang invested in movable type printing instead of printing machine. Now Zhou Lin and others finally understand the sword hidden in the "agreement", but they are helpless.

"You don't have to worry. I'm not that kind of person. Since it was agreed that I would take shares in the technology of movable type printing, the printing machines I produce in the future will of course be sold in the name of the group, so the printing machines used within the group are of course the cost price."

Although Li Luoyang said this very well, Zhou Lin and Wu Chengdu were not heartless people, and the tension on their faces was not relaxed because of these words. They were nervous about two key points in the words. One is "sale". Although Li Luoyang mentioned this matter a few days ago, no one paid attention to it at that time, because there was only one printing press. If it was sold, wouldn't everyone spend money to break up the meeting? Li Luoyang should not do this kind of "killing chickens to get eggs".

But today, Li Luoyang has clearly proposed to continue to improve and produce a new generation of printing presses, which shows that selling printing presses is not a joke.

The second point is the cost price and sales price of the printing press. Now only Li Luoyang can guide the manufacture of printing presses, so who can know the cost price of printing presses? For Li Luoyang, no matter how high the "cost price" of the printing press is, it is just to move the money from the left pocket to the right pocket, but it is very different for the other three people. The cost price of the printing press is directly related to their future profits and dividends.
