"Really want to sell?" Wu Cheng frowned and asked. At this time, he is more suitable to speak than Zhou Lin. after all, from the perspective of the company system, Zhou Lin is only the general manager. According to Li Luoyang's explanation, he is a manager and executor and cannot intervene in the formulation of the company's development direction.

"Sell!"

There is no doubt about this. Li Luoyang doesn't believe that the world can be 100% confidential. Instead of letting others copy and secretly sell, it's better to make and sell by themselves. As long as we ensure the generation difference of selling goods, the most advanced ones can be used by ourselves, ordinary partners and the worst competitors, we can monopolize the whole market. This is the normal development path for an enterprise, Just like the iteration of the dynasty, if one day someone develops a more advanced and better printing press than him, it can only prove that he has been eliminated by the times.

"Well, what is the cost of a printing press now?" Wu Cheng asked tentatively.

"Of course, the price of the first prototype is immeasurable. Its future destination will be my private museum. Well, I estimate that the cost price of the first generation printing press is about 300 Liang."

"Hiss ~" the price, whether Zhou Lin or Wu Cheng, takes a breath secretly. It's just a pile of wood and iron. It's worth 300 liang? Is this a robbery? If Wu Cheng and Zhou Linzhen question Li Luoyang like this, Li Luoyang will roar back loudly: NIMA, R & D cost? The agreed technology is priceless? Three hundred Liang is nothing. Three hundred Liang is just buying a machine. Those movable types are sold alone. Do you understand? Five thousand words in a font size is three hundred Liang silver!

A brand of lead movable type is 300 Liang silver. I know that Zhou Lin and Wu Cheng will be crazy this year, but there are more things that may make them crazy later.

"The ink used in the printing press is my patent. I will not transfer it. I will only produce and sell it myself. Of course, some of the purchases for our company's own use are still at the cost price. The cost price of a set of ink that can print 5000 standard pages is one or two silver, and the external sales price is two or two silver.

Zhou Lin was a real man. After a rough estimation, he shook his head and said, "Chairman, if you bid like this, I'm afraid the printing press can't be sold, because the printing cost doesn't have much advantage."

Indeed, only two liang of silver ink can print 5000 standard pages. In other words, printing a 20 page publication requires eight big money for ink alone. Coupled with the costs of printing press, paper and labor, Zhou Lin said that it is no different from the past. It is polite, and it may even be more expensive than in the past. Where can I buy it? Even if it is used at home, the cost price is calculated , it seems that the profits of the joint-stock company are not much higher. The real big heads have been earned by Li Luoyang. Is this really Li Luoyang's original intention?

Wu Cheng is not a professional in this field. He is not as quick as Zhou Lin in accounting. However, he believes Zhou Lin will not make a mistake. He stares at Zhou Lin's words: "I said Luoyang, that's not good. We didn't set up your company to make money for you alone. There must be an explanation from the Lord. At the beginning, you vowed that we would earn at least a few hundred liang of silver a year. Now the cost has not decreased, but increased. Where are the profits and where are the silver we earn? You can't get all of it Did you go to your pocket? Shopkeeper Zhou shut down his own Bookstore because of your words. That's a guy who eats. What do you say? "

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient." Li Luoyang smiled and waved his hand to make the two "old people" not too excited. It's bad for their health. In case of a "three high" or something, they may not be able to rescue them these days.

"When will the things I promised from Li Luoyang not count? I said that in the future, you will earn at least a few hundred Liang a year. That's the minimum. If it's high, it's not impossible. But you have to listen to me and trust me."

"But what you just said makes us believe you?" Wu Cheng and Zhou Lin said with one voice. The reason why they insist on not believing is that the calculated cost has no profit space, unless Li Luoyang can completely reverse this situation.

"If I say that in the future, our Liaozhai anecdotes can be given away as a copper coin for free to those who want it, will you believe it?"

Li Luoyang narrowed his eyes and asked.

Zhou Lin and Wu Cheng shook their heads like rattles. Of course, they don't believe it. Even according to Li Luoyang's algorithm, the cost of a copy of Liaozhai anecdotes can only be reduced to 15 yuan at most. According to the sales volume of 20000 copies in a phase, it is also 300000 yuan, equivalent to more than 200 or nearly 300 liang of silver. Free?

"No, no, no, my goal is not 20000 copies. I expect 200000 copies, or even 400000 copies. Of course, the new journal can no longer be called Liaozhai anecdotes. I initially named him ancient and modern anecdotes , Liaozhai fun talk is just a section inside, and a journal is not just more than ten or twenty pages. In this way, the thickness will be determined according to the needs of the content... "

Li Luoyang is talking more and more vigorously. Some concepts that once flashed in his mind have come out one after another. It seems that there are blessings of the gods and Buddhas all over the sky. It is more and more convenient to say, but Zhou Lin and Wu Cheng, sitting opposite Li Luoyang, are more and more straight in their eyes. Zhou Lin's brain is about to go down. In the end, he simply won't do it. Anyway, they have lost their lives.

"Dead, dead, dead."

"Hmm? What's dead?" Li Luoyang finally found that Zhou Lin's condition was abnormal. He was sweating, his face was black, and his mouth was shaking all the time.

"I, I feel I'm going to be finished. 200000 copies. There will be no money in our company account after the first issue. We'll spend all the silver given by the Lord, and then we'll be finished!"

"When you are insolvent, it is not finished. The scientific saying is bankruptcy."

"What kind of bankruptcy? It's closing down, surrounded by creditors! Luoyang, please, this matter can't be joked. We're joint-stock with the Lord. If there's such a shameful thing as being chased for debt at that time, the Lord will be impeached by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and we, no, you're definitely a place of death and no burial. Even I can't save you!"

The cold sweat on Wu Cheng's forehead was one after another. Although he was not good at calculation, he could still figure out the simple multiple relationship of 20000 to 200000 copies and the cost of 320 to 3000 Liang.
