The people of Linyi are not as patriotic as Zhang Hua imagined.

When everyone finds that the quality of the paper sold by Xu Song Paper Shop is better than that of Linyi Bookstore and the price is even higher, they naturally know how to choose.

At any time, the people are actually the most realistic.

I will support whoever treats me well.

Similarly, those things are cost-effective to me, so I will buy them.

As for whether this thing is produced domestically or in other countries, this is not the most important thing.

Later generations always said that the people of Bangzi Country were patriotic, and most of the domestic cars were domestic cars.

Is this really patriotism?

No, it's because domestic cars are cheap enough.

If the imported Mercedes-Benz BMW can be at the same price as Hyundai, how many other people will buy domestic cars?

"Langjun, there are fewer and fewer people coming to our library in the past two days. Many people just take a look and leave even if they come in.

Except for some paper I sold in the first two days, I can’t sell anything in one day now.

If this continues, the paper in our warehouse will not be stacked.

Do papermaking workshops continue to expand?

Otherwise, I would give the craftsmen a vacation and how many days to rest?"

Zhang Dapeng stood carefully in front of Zhang Hua and reported on the current situation.

To be honest, his mood has been like a roller coaster these days, with ups and downs.

I thought I was about to reach the peak of my life, but I found that the higher I stood, the more painful it would be for me to fall.

He doesn't know what to do now.

Because Linyi Bookstore has been lowering prices for several consecutive days, Xu Song’s paper shop is not showing any weakness at all.

It is true that the Linyi Bookstore has a price advantage of 20% if it costs.

What's going on?

The quality is not as good as others, but the price is not as good as it is. Do you really think that the people of Linyi support the Zhang family so much?

You know, for many people, it is even more honorable to be able to use things from the Celestial Kingdom.

"Do we still have room to cut prices?"

Zhang Hua was silent for a long time and asked the most fundamental question.

Originally, he thought he was the price killer of paper in Linyi, but now he found out that he was killed.

He couldn't accept this result.

I studied in the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years, and finally returned to Linyi and went to work hard for several years before I realized what I am now.

As a result, he just showed up and was hit by a blow.

No matter who it is, it is hard to accept.

"Langjun, we have lowered the price three times, and the price reduction is very large each time.

Nowadays, every time we sell paper that costs 100 cents, we lose 30 cents.

This is the price, which is higher than others, and there is really no way to lower the price.”

Zhang Dapeng cried and reported a very bad news.

He also hopes that his price still has room to drop, but now he has used all his abilities.

And this is based on the cost of fully exploiting the craftsmen in the workshop.

If he descends, Zhang Dapeng probably won’t dare to go back to the workshop.

"Where did the paper on the opposite side come from and how much is the cost? Have you figured out?"

Zhang Hua is not stupid either.

Xu Cai and the others can compete with them at the current price. If the paper is transported from Chang'an City, it will definitely be in a stage of running at a loss.

Based on his understanding of Datang Maritime Business, these people will not do business at a loss.

So in the past two days, he has already felt that these papers should be a little different.

"Mr. Lang, I have arranged for people to inquire from many sources and found the coolies who helped unload the goods from the dock. I heard a little news, but I don't know if it is true or false."

Message transmission in this era is relatively slow.

Especially in countries like Linyi, the speed of message transmission is even slower.

Although the Zheng family in Xingyang has opened a papermaking workshop in Nanyang, and this papermaking workshop is located in the southernmost city of Linyi Kingdom, Zhang Dapeng has not received it yet.

Of course, this must have something to do with the fact that the paper workshop has just been mass-produced and its influence has not yet completely exploded.

Otherwise, it would be impossible not to be transmitted to Chameng.

"What news, let me hear it?"

"These papers were produced by Tang Dynasty merchants in a papermaking workshop built by Nanyang. This papermaking workshop seems to be in our Linyi country."

After Zhang Dapeng said this, he lowered his head.

If the news is true, then his work has not been done well.

He had such a big Tang people's papermaking workshop in his country, but he didn't even know it.

Although Zhang Hua's news channels are theoretically better than Zhang Dapeng, he should know more first.

But at this time, who is still concerned about this with you?

You are the person in charge of the papermaking workshop. Now that there is a problem, all the problems will naturally belong to you.

"In our Linyi Country? Is it very large?"

Sure enough, Zhang Hua frowned and continued to ask.

"I heard that the scale is quite large. That city is right next to the port. The Tang Dynasty has a great influence."

"No matter whether the news is true or false, hurry up and arrange someone to investigate and clarify the situation before talking about it.

Otherwise, at this time, how do you ask me to make a decision?

Also, since this papermaking workshop is set up in Linyi, we have no advantages in papermaking materials, and everyone's cost should be the same.

Now they can always sell paper at a lower price than us, which shows that there is something better than what we do in the making of paper.

When we were in Chang'an City before, all papermaking workshops in the Tang Dynasty were strictly guarding us, and it was difficult for us to get accurate information.

This time they opened the workshop to Linyi Kingdom. For us, it may not be a completely bad thing."

Zhang Hua quickly figured out the reason.

Although Zhang Dapeng is not sure whether what he said is true, Zhang Hua already believes that the Tang Dynasty merchants have set up papermaking workshops in Linyi Kingdom.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for such a low price to appear in Champaign.

"Then... I will arrange for someone to investigate immediately and see if I can get their papermaking process.

If they can get their craft, then we may end up being able to produce paper that is cheaper than them.

Then the market in Linyi Kingdom will be ours in the end, and now we are just going to make them happy first."

When Zhang Dapeng said this, he felt that he had more expectations in his heart.

Although this ups and downs are unbearable, it is a good thing to see the hope after falling down.

At least until there is no better idea, this is a good hope.

"You must move quickly, otherwise if this continues, our Zhang family will become a joke in Cham City!"

Zhang Hua made a very serious request.

There is no way, he is under great pressure at this time.

Although the Zhang family is a wealthy family in Linyi, they have a very close relationship with the royal family.

But the Zhang family is not the Linyi royal family after all, and there are still many competitors in the country.

Just as Zhang Hua and Zhang Dapeng were talking, another conversation was also taking place in the palace of Linyi Kingdom.

"Brother Zhang, I heard that after your Erlang returned from the Tang Dynasty, he built several workshops outside the city of Chameng. If you want to imitate the workshop city of the Tang Dynasty, you can also support a group of workshops?"

After the court meeting, Lin Zhou, who was also an important official of Linyi State, came to Zhang Hui with a smile.

The Lin family and the Zhang family have no bloody hatred, but the two families have different political positions and are considered to be each other's main competitors in Champa.

In the popular saying of later generations, the Lin family was considered a conservative and the Zhang family was considered a reformist.

Both of these sects think that they are for the benefit of Linyi Kingdom and have a group of supporters behind them.

The construction of various new workshops is a result of the strong promotion of the reformists.

As a conservative boss, he naturally has an objection.
