The blank page advertisement of the "Datang Daily" was no exception and was the headlines discussed by the nobles and people in Chang'an City after dinner.

Correspondingly, the name of Hamedi pocket watch, which made a living, was immediately known to many people.

"Master, the neighbors are all too enthusiastic today. They come to chat with me one by one, asking how we could think of advertising like this."

In a shop in West City, Sarai was excited to report what happened this morning to Hamedi.

"It seems that Qin Chun's speech is still very reliable. He said that the advertising department of Datang Daily can make our pocket watch stand out and become the sales champion this year. I thought he was talking big at the time. Which one is not stronger than us, whether it is the Wei family or the Fanyang Lu family?

In the competition with them, it would be good to be able to get a part of the market share and gain a foothold in Chang'an City. But Qin Chun actually dared to sign a bet agreement with us. If Hamedi pocket watches cannot become the company with the largest number of pocket watches this year, they will only charge us half of the advertising fee, but if they become the first, they will need to pay three times the advertising fee.

At that time, I thought we must have taken advantage of this matter, so I agreed without thinking. Now it seems that they really have a way to make us the first place. I am very willing to pay more of the advertising fee."

Hamedi bought all the newspapers in Chang'an City from the newspaper boy early this morning and read all the advertisements.

At the beginning, he used blank pages to advertise himself in the Datang Daily, and his confidence was not enough.

But the reactions of the people around him were overjoyed.

Hamedi pocket watches have become popular before they are officially launched!

This is definitely a miracle thing.

"Qin Chun said that it will make us the sales champion of pocket watches. I guess he may have other backup plans. It's really exciting to think about it. Now what we need to worry about the most is how to make Shuijun Manufacturing Institute provide us with more parts so as not to be in short supply after pocket watches start selling."

Although Sarai spoke to Hamedi several times on behalf of him, he did not know the specific advertising plan.

On the one hand, the advertising plan has been changing, so Qin Chun did not explain it to them.

On the other hand, Qin Chun wanted to take the initiative completely, but he didn't want Hamedi and the others to point fingers.

After all, this is the rise of the advertising department of the Tang Daily, which can only succeed, not fail!

Moreover, you have to win the glory and make others convinced.

Even if Hamedi pocket watch sales will become the best at that time, Qin Chun hopes that other merchants will think of their advertising department as soon as possible when they mention this matter.

"Only three days, our store will open in Yang's Tea Building in three days. Even if Qin Chun's plan has not changed, it should attract many people to buy our pocket watches. At that time, I will definitely invite him to go to Dude to have a few drinks."

"Well, master, it seems that someone has come to visit us again. I'll go out to greet you."

...

In the Xuanzheng Hall, Li Shimin let go of the "Da Tang Daily" with emotion.

"Zhinu, have you read all the newspapers today?"

"I've seen it all, and there seems to be no special news."

Li Zhi is now in a very stable position as the prince.

Li Shimin also devoted himself to training him as a crown prince, and often taught some experiences in governing the country and methods of dealing with things.

Obviously, Li Shimin had some feelings today and wanted to communicate with Li Zhi.

"Yes, it can be considered a prosperous country and peace now, and there is nothing big about it. But have you noticed that this pocket watch is now the hottest topic in the business world of Chang'an City?"

Li Shimin said, taking out a golden Yongping pocket watch from his arms.

The material of his chain and cover is different from the one given to Xiao Yumi by Li Kuan, but overall it seems more noble.

Li Kuan positioned Yongping’s pocket watches as only making the top pocket watches and becoming an existence like Patek Philippe in later generations.

Therefore, whether it is workmanship or material, Yongping pocket watches are very particular.

His target customers are the noble families and big merchants of the Tang Dynasty, and none of the others are the target customers.

Li Kuan even considered whether to add a qualification review to purchase Yongping pocket watches and add a threshold to purchase them, making its style more extraordinary.

Anyway, as a luxury product, the more you make everyone feel that it is unique and tasteful, the higher the value it is.

As for the general public who want to use pocket watches, then go to buy other workshops to produce them.

The future of the watch industry is still very good, and Li Kuan is ready to support several emerging industries.

"Did the father talk about the pocket watch that my second brother gave to Xiao Yumi? This thing is really practical and many people want to own it. I heard that my second brother has asked me to apply for a patent at the Patent Office. It should be difficult to develop pocket watches from other merchants, right?"

Li Zhi obviously did not look at the advertising pages in various newspapers seriously, and did not notice that there were many pocket watch advertisements today.

In fact, this is normal. Li Zhi now has endless things to do every day. Reading newspapers often just browse the news titles in various pages. Only when you see articles that you are interested or think are valuable will you take a closer look.

In this case, how can he have time to pay attention to the advertisement?

This is just like when people browse web pages in later generations. Although there are advertisements on each web page, you may not even remember an advertisement after spending most of the day online.

"If Kuan'er doesn't want other businesses to do pocket watch business, it will definitely be difficult for others to develop their own pocket watches. But if he doesn't care, it will be different. Obviously, judging from the current advertisements in various newspapers, I have seen at least five pocket watch advertisements, which shows that Kuan'er does not intend to monopolize the pocket watch business."

"My second brother prefers that everyone has money to make money and rarely do so in their own business. So far, except for that glass workshop, it seems that all industries in the Chu King's Mansion can accept the entry of competitors, and they even encourage competitors to enter. This is something I admire very much."

Li Zhi obviously hasn't figured out why Li Shimin suddenly talked to him about this topic today.

"Well, there is a whole page in the "Da Tang Daily" that is blank. Have you noticed it?"

"Ah? Father, I thought it was just the newspaper that I took that I had made a mistake in printing. Do you have any blank pages?"

A surprised expression appeared on Li Zhi's face.

This made Li Shimin feel a little disappointed.

As an emperor, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce need to understand and care about all things in all walks of life.

The "Da Tang Daily" created such a blank page, and Li Shimin immediately discovered the mystery, but Li Zhi chose to ignore it.

If Li Shimin hadn't raised this question alone, he would have thought it was really a printing mistake.

"This is not a printing mistake, it is a novel advertising method of Datang Daily. I dare to conclude that this advertisement will definitely become a classic in the Datang business district. Guanshishan Academy Business School will even move this advertisement to the classroom as a teaching case."

"The father and emperor are wise and wise, and the purpose of the Tang Daily is visible at a glance."

"Zhi Nu, as an emperor, you must have a keen sense of smell and find out the unusual things from seemingly ordinary things. Otherwise, you will be easily deceived by your ministers. None of the ministers who can be in the court are fools. Many of them have a better mind than us. Only when we let the ministers feel their words and deeds, the deep meaning behind them has been seen clearly, can we not dare to easily deceive the superiors and conceal their subordinates."

This kind of words would be said when Li Shimin and Li Zhi were there.

At this time, even Li Zhong and Lan He stood far away, afraid of hearing what they shouldn't have heard.

Doing things in the palace and listening to too many things you shouldn’t listen to often lead to a life-threatening failure!

"Thank you for your teachings. I will observe more in the future, speak less and listen more, and ask more why in my heart!"

Li Zhi accepted Li Shimin's advice very piously.

This once-shaota is growing rapidly every day.

...

Horse and carriages in the south of the city.

Wei Siren angrily tore a copy of the "Da Tang Daily" to pieces.

Today he went to Wuheju for lunch. In order to listen to Guo Dezhi's storytelling well, he chose a lobby location.

As a result, he kept hearing people discussing the advertisement of Hamedi pocket watches in the Datang Daily, and some people were also discussing whether the blank page in the newspaper was a mistake.

No one paid attention to the advertisement of Chengnan pocket watch in the Chang'an Evening News at all.

At least Wei Siren didn't hear anyone mentioning Chengnan pocket watches from all over the world when he was having a meal.

This made him feel a bad premonition.

I can't listen to this storytelling and the food is no longer delicious.

After dealing with it for a few hastily, he returned to the carriage in the south of the city with a pale face.

"Wei Bao, what happened to the Chang'an Evening News? Why did the advertising plan they designed was so ordinary? You know, the advertising fee we spent on it was not low at all. Otherwise, if Datang Daily signed a contract with others in advance, their offer would be nothing like this.

But now you see, the Hamedi pocket watch is almost a household name, but few people know about our pocket watches in the south of the city. The day after tomorrow, we were on the same day at the opening ceremony of the Yang Family Tea Building. At that time, their shops were filled with people, but no one cared about us. Where did I put my face?"

"Langjun, no one has used this advertising method before, and we don't know that the "Dang Tang Daily" would come up with such a plan. Otherwise, I will go to the "Chang'an Evening News" and ask them to quickly modify the advertising plan, which will be the same as others. Anyway, this kind of thing does not involve patent infringement."

Wei Bao is also under great pressure.

Until yesterday, the situation was still very good, but today it has completely changed.

He couldn't accept this gap.

"The first person to come up with this plan is a genius, and the second person to use it is a fool. Do you want our Chengnan pocket watch to be a joke?"

Wei Siren couldn't help but lose his temper at Wei Bao.

If it weren't for Hamedi's early move, then at this moment, it would be Wei Siren who enjoyed the joy.

"Langjun, I have already negotiated with the Laoniu Transportation Shop. Our advertisement will be posted on their carriage tomorrow. At that time, everyone can also quickly get to know our pocket watches in the south of the city."

"Can it be the same? How do you know that Hamedi pocket watches have no future? Will the Datang Daily have new ideas to promote Hamedi pocket watches?"

Wei Siren is a little angry now. Pocket watches are a product he is very optimistic about. He wants to build it into one of the core industries of the Wei family.

But now he has encountered such a big setback just now, so he can't help but get angry.

"The quality of the advertisement will have a certain impact on the sales of pocket watches. But in the end, it will return to the performance of the product. I believe that the quality of Chengnan pocket watches will definitely be better than that of Hamedi pocket watches. At that time, with everyone's reputation, Hamedi pocket watches will be useless no matter how well they are advertised. It is better to let them have a glory now and attract the attention of several other competitors."

Wei Bao's words made Wei Siren feel a little better.

"That's all I can think about! There can be no more mistakes in the next thing!"
