Chapter 185 Two extremes

The appearance of the Tang Bookstore out of thin air, and ten thousand sets of books flowed into Chang'an on the first day alone.

It exploded like a bomb, causing huge waves.

Ye Ping's bookstore emerged in a state of concern.

The price of books at Datang Bookstore was reduced by 9% of the year, which has become the most popular topic in the entire Chang'an City.

Such a low price caused everyone to rush to buy things, while the aristocratic families that monopolized education were in panic.

A huge storm is brewing in the peaceful Chang'an City.

In the east city, several major families are sitting around a teahouse.

They are in a very hidden position.

Among them, the host was actually Wang Gui.

At this time, he looked at the people below him on the throne.

It turned out to be the five major families, Wang Cui, Lu, Zheng and Li Wu.

Except for the time when Ye Ping sat together, these five people did not sit together at other times.

Now I don’t know why, but I sat together again.

Wang Gui spoke first.

"To summon you here today, there is actually something to tell everyone."

The others became quiet.

Here is Wang Gui's official position, and he is also a celebrity around the emperor. In addition to the power of the Wang family, although the power is now frustrated, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. In any case, it can be regarded as the top five major families.

Cui Tian asked directly: "What's the matter with Wang Shizhong?"

The other three companies are also very curious.

Why let everyone come here?

"Why are we here this afternoon?"

Someone else said: "In the past, we five rarely sat together."

"No, although our business has transactions, it is only transactions and has not reached such a good level. If you have something to do, please say it!"

"The Wang family is not the number one now, how dare you speak up?"

Some people disagree with Wang Gui's convening.

These people were talking to each other.

Some people are so sorry for the Wang family.

Wang Gui ignored everyone, but said, "It's already this time, and you still have the mentality of saying who is older and who is younger? Don't you take the future of the Shi family seriously?"

Then, he said, "Listen to someone Wang, how about you judge again?"

Everyone was quiet.

Then Wang Gui was very satisfied with everyone's performance.

This is the result he wants.

"I want to discuss with you today if you have something to do. A Tang Bookstore was released in Chang'an in the morning, and I believe you all know it. Now the emergence of this bookstore directly affects the business of our bookstore."

At this time, Lu Wei said, "Isn't it just a bookstore? What's so scary? My Lu family is not afraid!"

At this time, Wang Chang said:

"Of course your Lu family is not afraid. You are the one who travels the world with cars and ships, mainly on the cars and ships. Of course, there are fewer things like bookstores, but have you ever thought about it? If one day the poor can afford to study and all the officials are descendants of the poor, then where is our right to speak?

Our living environment will only get worse and worse in the future. Today, my uncle invited everyone to come here just to talk about major events that concern you. If you don’t want to listen, you can leave directly. I won’t force you to stay and listen, but you must know that this may be major events that concern you in the future!”

Wang Chang's words calmed everyone down.

Speaking of the future, they all want better. No one wants to fall behind.

"Wang Chang is right, you probably don't know that in just two hours in the morning, Ye Ping's bookstore sold 10,000 sets and 100,000 books!"

The words were shocked by everyone, after all, not everyone knows this number.

They gasped.

In fact, it took more than an hour to sell books, but the news they received was wrong.

"How did he sell it? Where did the 100,000 books come from?"

"I heard that the court intends to help it. Maybe this book belongs to the court. He only has enough to sell these in a day, so it is hard to sustain!"

"Yes, that's it, and we all have books, and he'll be finished after he sells it."

Everyone was speculating on how Ye Ping did it.

Wang Gui smiled.

The smile made everyone feel a little strange.

"Shizhong Wang, why are you laughing at?"

Zheng Laichun asked in charge of the Zheng family.

"Laughing at you ignorant! Do you know how much does a set of books cost for ten books?"

Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know.

"A hang of money!"

"What! It's impossible to spend a lot of money! Our costs are more than this, how can we?"

"I didn't believe it at first, but when I asked my family to buy it, it was indeed a one-home money, and nearly 10,000 people went to buy it in one morning."

Now everyone has quieted down.

Wang Gui did not lie, this time it really hit their foundation.

Cui Tianren said: "Even if it's very cheap and the quality is not good?"

"I've brought a few books, you guys can take a look!"

Wang Chang said at this time, so he took out a few books and showed them to everyone.

When the crowd saw it, their surprise became even stronger.

"What! This... the font is so beautiful, is it printed? There are also patterns and are painted very exquisitely. Is this still a book? This is simply a work of art!"

"It's not just that, but the characters are very small. There are more words that can be put down on a piece of paper. Is this written by a brush? The brush can't write such fine words!"

"The book has also become much thinner. No wonder the cost can be so much lower."

...

In addition to being shocked, people were even more afraid of Ye Ping.

Because what Ye Ping did was something they could not do, how would they survive in the future?

At this time, Wang Gui said again: "You know what's going on now, right?"

Everyone nodded, and were frightened at the same time.

"What should I do?"

"What should I do? This is easy to deal with. Today I want to unite the strength of the five of us to fight against Ye Ping."

Even if there are five people together, Ye Ping may be laughing out loud.

He used his own strength to make the five major families afraid. If he spoke out, he would become a topic of conversation for others. Ye Ping would also become a legend of a generation.

Fortunately, he only focused on money rather than doing politics. Otherwise, Li Shimin would be the first to be unhappy, and he would not have existed for so long.

“How to fight?”

"This is simple. Our five major families have joined forces to lower the price of the book until Ye Ping gave up! I believe that he deliberately lowered the price this time in order to seize the market, so we cannot do what he wants."

"What are we going to do?"

Everyone asked.

"This is simple. If he sells it for a while, we will sell it for 900 yuan! We will grab the market and completely suppress him. Who agrees and who opposes?"

Wang Gui's meeting went very smoothly this time, and everyone actually agreed.

Ye Ping didn't know what they were doing at this time.

He only knew that he would open the door to sell books tomorrow, and that day, he would prepare another ten thousand sets of books to sell.

Until the next day, when it was dawn, the Tang Bookstore was empty.
