Chapter 640 What Mission Is It Difficult?
"Master (Boss)."
When they saw Jiang Tian, the two said hello.
Afterwards, Lu Ban invited Jiang Tian to take his seat and pointed to some objects on the table.
It was a simple comic book, the one sold by the artist, and there was a stack of wooden boards next to it.
The specifications of these wooden boards are the same size as those of a comic book, with some patterns carved on them. It is not difficult to find that these patterns are mirror versions of the comic.
At Lu Ban's introduction, Jiang Tian picked it up and looked it carefully, then nodded.
Shi Zhigang has been practicing carving for a while and has been drawing drawings for so long, so he has time to do it.
The carved lines are also horizontal and vertical, and the smoothest part is also round enough.
But he didn't know much about the characters, and the characters carved were always a bit weird. So now Lu Ban specializes in carving characters. Shi Zhigang took over the carving scene and dialogue, and the two divided the work and worked together.
Since some of the carved plates have been completed, Jiang Tian also ordered someone to experiment.
To be honest, there are quite a few flaws in printing, such as some details and shadows that are not satisfactory, which is not a little worse than the printing in modern society before.
However, it can be considered in this environment.
"Yeah, it's not bad, thank you for your hard work."
When he said this, Jiang Tian felt a little guilty.
"These things are not in a hurry. You are still in the vacation stage, so you should take a break if you need to take a break."
However, Shi Zhigang and Lu Ban didn't care much about this.
For them, the entertainment activities on weekdays are originally about carving some small objects. Anyway, no matter how you carve, it is better to create some benefits for the island.
After a while of simple communication, the two began to carve the wooden boards with concentration.
After observing for a while, Jiang Tian suddenly remembered something.
Since comics are progressing, journals can naturally be put on the agenda, and it is also convenient to look back at the entire newspaper.
"It seems that I still have to print it with movable type..."
After saying a word, Jiang Tian looked at the two people who were carving.
The project of this thing is really not small, and it is probably difficult to just let them complete these tasks.
At this time, Jiang Tian remembered that he was in a misunderstanding.
Over the past period of time, due to the abundant resources of our island, we also sell supplies to the outside on weekdays.
Since communication and transactions in this world are so developed, you can be a consumer and save time.
Thinking of this, Jiang Tian returned to his room and clicked on the store list of the trading bank.
After thinking for a while, I searched for the words [printing].
When the search results appear, Jiang Tian was also shocked.
Good guy, there are really!
A shop appeared on it with five big words written on it.
[Bisheng Printing Store]
Click to see there is a line of slogans on the home page.
‘Professional movable type printing, the inventor Bi Sheng personally took over and took over various printing businesses!’
This store really attracted Jiang Tian's interest, and then asked the boss:
"You are starting a printing business? Bi Sheng is on your island?"
Not long after, the other party replied to a message.
cope9002: "Yo, are you the boss of [Shangmeng No. 1]? Welcome!
Our store is indeed a store held by Bi Sheng, the inventor of movable type printing, and the quality is guaranteed!
After so long, we have carved out more than 3,000 Chinese characters' movable fonts. These more than 3,000 words have covered more than 99% of the written materials, so you can be satisfied!"
Jiang Tian was stunned.
"What a good guy, I've carved so many, that's enough!"
"Hehe, that's it! Carving these fonts almost took all our efforts to the island, and it took dozens of days to complete them, so now the new store is open, with very discounted prices!
What are you here to print and advertise this time?"
After seeing the inquiry, Jiang Tianxin had a bold idea.
"No, no, no, I want to talk to you about a big deal when I come here this time!"
cope9002: "Big deal? There is still this good thing? Tell me quickly!"
"I want to... buy all of you carved fonts!"
As soon as this statement comes out.
The owner of this store was silent for a long time, and finally a word popped up.
"No, maybe! This is the means of production that our entire island took so long to make, and it is impossible to sell it to you!
To tell you the truth, even if I starve to death, I will not sell you a movable type if I jump off the island outside!"
Seeing this, Jiang Tianyouyou gave up the conditions.
"Two adult boars."
cope9002: "This... this is the effort of our entire island for dozens of days! How can two pigs change it?"
cnns1111: "Add another boar."
cope9002 "...We finally carved so many fonts, but you only produced three pigs and wanted the fruits of our labor. I will not agree to you!"
Seeing the reply, Jiang Tian curled his lips.
"Add another sow, and you can continue to take on the printing business in the future. If you hand over the business you receive over there, I will give you a part of the profit.
This is the last chance. If you don’t want it, then I can ask someone else to make another move. As long as there are too many people, it’s not a problem.”
This ultimatum worked.
After a while, the reply appeared in front of Jiang Tian.
cope9002: "That's it...ahem, I'll declare first, I'm not trying to use your supplies!
I wanted to scold you loudly, but I think you are sincere enough and want to make friends with you."
Jiang Tian curled his lips: "Oh? How to communicate?"
"make a deal!"
...
During the transaction process, the two also had a small confrontation.
In order to prevent being deceived, Jiang Tian sent a sentence at will, and then asked the other party to send the movable type contained in the sentence to check the quality of these movable types.
After the other party sent the "trial product", Jiang Tian ordered his men to put in ink and put paper and press it.
After looking at the printed effect, Jiang Tian nodded.
The font is printed with clear quality, and there is no problem with the quality.
After the trial, both parties also began formal transactions.
Looking at the neatly stacked movable characters in front of him, Jiang Tian smiled a little.
This transaction seems to be expensive, but in fact it is not a loss at all.
First of all, there is no shortage of these resources, and the most valuable one is the sow that can give birth, and the other three boars can only be considered some meat.
Using these costs has caused the other party to spend a lot of labor.
As long as you buy these means of production, these resources can be earned back soon.
Especially the last "bargaining chip" given by Jiang Tian.
It seems that it gave the other party the opportunity to increase its income, but in fact it turned himself into Jiang Tian’s salesman.
Then, Jiang Tian began to think as he looked at these movable types.
Now I am basically ready to print this thing. What should I do with these movable types now?
First, the entire "business magazine" will be released, and the advertising spaces will be sold at the same time while advertising?
Just as I was thinking about these skills, the owner of the printing shop suddenly found Jiang Tian again.
cope9002: "Boss, I just sold the means of production to you, and I received someone who came to me to discuss business. Look..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian asked curiously:
"What business, let's hear it."
cope9002: "A man just found me and asked me... can I help him print novels?"
