The shareholder meeting of Christie's is still continuing. Speaking of which, this shareholder meeting is not easy to convene, because several major shareholders are very busy, even today, there are still four people missing, Wang Shi, Ma Zhi, Ximen Qing and Hua Manshan.

Wang Sheng, Wu Haogu and others are of different ages, so naturally they would not come to this shareholders' meeting to discuss business with the younger generation. Ma Zhi was stuck with Tong Guan every day and discussed how to build an unparalleled achievement. Wu Haogu's "small business" was not in his eyes. Ximen Qing people were not in Kaifeng Prefecture, so of course they could not attend the meeting. Hua Manlou came to Kaifeng a few days ago and brought several land deeds - through the "monk agent" of Faqi Temple, he had helped Wu Haogu buy a large area of ​​land on Yuzhou Island, enough to build a large manor.

I don’t know if it became a reputation for buying houses and land. Anyway, Wu Haogu did not let him participate in Christie’s operation immediately, but asked him to accompany Wu Chengzhi to see the houses and land... Now that the Wu family is so developed, naturally he can no longer live in the small house in the First Tianshui Lane, but to buy a mansion worth 100,000 yuan in the west Lane of Kaifeng Prefecture.

In addition, Christie's was also planning to find land in the west of Kaifeng Prefecture to build a calligraphy and painting club, and the land purchase was also handed over to Huamanlou.

Looking at it, Wu Haogu planned to train him into the big shopkeeper of a real estate company...

By the way, in Wu Haogu's plan, the Calligraphy and Painting Association is the base camp of "Christie's Singing and Sales House". What will be singing and selling there is not only calligraphy and painting, but also land, real estate, jewelry, antiques, cars, horses, slaves, etc., and everything that can be sung and sold and... people!

Moreover, the Calligraphy and Painting Association will also implement a "membership system", and it is best to include all the wealthy and powerful families in Kaifeng Prefecture. Of course... Song Huizong, that is, Zhao Xiaoyi, must be a member of "Tianzi No. 1"! With his golden signboard, you are not afraid of other powerful people not coming.

And when the powerful and powerful people come, the wealthy merchants in Kaifeng Prefecture and even other places in the Song Dynasty will naturally break the head and join... These rich men are naturally paid members!

In short, once the guild hall is started, it will not only be an activity that can make money while lying down, but will also become a place that brings together the political and commercial elites of the Song Dynasty. The role it can play is really immeasurable.

However, the construction and opening of the guild hall must be carried out step by step. You cannot be too hasty now, because Zhao Ji is still the Duan King and is not an official family. It doesn’t matter if he is frivolous. It would be bad if there are too many social figures.

What we really need to pay attention to now is to focus on "Wu Zhao's paintings" and "Courtesy Competition".

"Yizhi, when the tricks are done, I want to print another picture album." Wu Haogu asked Ji Yi a somewhat strange question at this time.

"Picture album?" Ji Yi was stunned. Should I talk to Mi Youren about this?

Wu Haogu paused and said, "The name of the album is "The Courtesan".

""The Courtesan"? This is..."

"It's the album of the courtesan ladies of Kaifeng Prefecture." Wu Haogu said with a smile, "I think we will participate in this competition of the courtesan ladies. We will be able to participate in the album of the courtesan ladies... Isn't there seven floors to participate? You can publish one on the first floor, and Li Shishi and Mo Madam will publish one on each, and a total of nine copies are produced. This is still the first phase of the plan."

This is a photo album!

It was also the first for Wuhan University artists to explore the field of publishing and publicity in the Song Dynasty!

As the greatest artist in human history, Wu Haogu's ideas are naturally different from ordinary people. His "publishing and propaganda" route did not start with newspapers shouting for the country and the people, but with the publication of photo albums of brothel courtesans.

He wants to do the "Ta Kung Pao" of the Song Dynasty, but the "Playboy" of the Song Dynasty.

Wu Haogu continued: "A picture album can have twelve to twenty-four pages, all of which are photos and introductions of courtesans and ordinary karaokes, and accompanied by poetry. Each book sells for a few bucks and a monthly book... Is it OK?"

This is actually an entertainment monthly magazine, which is actually an entertainment star in the Song Dynasty... They are "tales", either "prostitutes", different radicals, but they are completely two completely different natures.

"It should be OK..." Ji Yi thought for a while and said with a smile, "A piece of money should be sold. The key is that the things are good and the names are big. The album is not as good as the article, and the characters are printed a little worse. The album must be well drawn and well printed."

It is not a problem for Wu Haogu to draw well, and it is not difficult to print well... it should not be too difficult. As long as you spend money to get the best master to carve the plate and use the best paper ink, you can always print it well.

As for the name, if it is not enough to have the "No. 1 person in the painting", it will be added to Li Shishi, Mo Niangzi and the Seven Courtesans. It takes 20 or 30 pieces to drink a cup of tea with their level (Mo Niangzi is not a girl) and it would be expensive to spend a twentieth or thirty pieces to buy a twenty-four-page photo album?

"And those courtesans and kaoji should be happy, after all, they can make a name for them. But I don't want to come forward to this matter, just let Madam Mo go and talk about it."

Ji Yi has now hooked up with Zhao Ji and has been appreciated by Zhang Dun. It is time to "clean yourself".

Moreover, he did not realize that the album of "The Courtesan" is actually a key step in the layout of Wuhao Gu's industry. If he takes it well, he will make Christie's achieve a leap forward.

The album of "The Courtesan" belongs to the publishing industry. The upstream of the publishing industry is the printing industry, and the upstream of the printing industry is dyes, inks and papermaking. The two industries parallel to the publishing industry are news and advertising, and the downstream of the publishing industry is education.

If it can develop from top to bottom, it will be a very remarkable thing, and it will also have the right to speak in the political arena of the Song Dynasty...

The key to developing this series of industries is in Wu Haogu's view that it is money! Without money, it is impossible to develop so many industries.

So Wu Haogu decided to start with the part that is easiest to make money, so that the situation can be quickly opened up.

And this breakthrough is definitely not a few cents a piece, but a newspaper with words on it, but only a book with a sweet book of "The Courtesan" printed on it!

This is a picture album that can charge money at both ends, and maybe sell advertisements!

The nine books at the beginning are used to make a name for themselves. When the name of the "Caogu" album was released in Kaifeng Prefecture, Wu Haogu planned to make "Caogu" a monthly magazine, and launched a "Caogu" and a "Caogu" with twelve "Caogu" every month. Not only can the "Caogu" be selected for the "Caogu" be selected for the "Caogu" be selected for the "Caogu" be selected for the "Caogu" be selected for the "Caogu" be selected for the "Caogu" be selected for the "Caogu" be selected for the "Caogu" be selected for the "Caogu" be selected for the "Caogu" be selected for the "Caogu" be selected for the "Caogu" be selected for the "Caogu" be selected for the "Caogu" be selected for the "Caogu" be selected for the "Caogu" be

And... I have to go for bidding rankings!

The selected "Courtess" and "Golden Hair" have to be a free painting model. The painters sent by Christie's Store drew photos for them and hung them in Christie's Painting. If they become very popular in the future, this photo will be sold again...

In short, the profitability of the "Courtessy" album should be absolutely guaranteed.

The profit of "The Courtesan" can ensure Christie's business investment in the printing industry. When the self-operated printing workshop is "raised", Christie's business can publish "New Year's paintings", "comics", "pictorials" and various books, and then enter the news publishing industry based on this.

At the same time, after the printing industry was developed, Christie's could also invest in the development of "color printing" technology, and "color printing" can extend "dye" and "printing and dyeing". Once the "printing and dyeing" are done, you can enter the textile industry across industries - in fact, painters and "dyeing" are not separated by mountains. The pigments and dyes they use in the painting process are actually similar. And coloring for silk paintings is actually "dyeing".

If Christie's can really use the "Courtessy" album to become a giant in the publishing and printing industry, dye (pigment) industry and textile industry in the next few years or even ten years.

Then Christie's has entered the door of capitalist industry and commerce...

There is hope for a grand future development, but before making great progress, Wu Haogu and Christie's still face human resources difficulties.

Christie's has too little foundation and has no talent accumulation at all.

Thinking of personnel issues, Wu Haogu couldn't help but frown a little. He said to everyone: "The business of the business in the business now is nothing more than the problem of making more money... But there is still not enough people. I think, in addition to selling things, flyer matters and building shop matters, personnel matters are the most important. We have to set up a house that specializes in personnel matters..., just call it a house. Under the business, there is a department.

Now we need to build the accounting, personnel room, singing and selling house and shopping mall room first, and then build a picture album, calligraphy and painting room and printing room later. Dalang, what do you think?"

"I was thinking about this," Su Dalang thought, "The accounting is quite good. I am familiar with the sales. I will come to the manager of the sales. I can call Zixu (Huamanshan) to manage the sales. As for the personnel room..."

"Yuanhui," Wu Haogu looked at his student Mi Youren with a smile, "You can do it, you will definitely do it."

"Teacher, I am a student of the Imperial College." Mi Youren shook his head, as if he was a little worried.

"Catale students of the Imperial College cannot take care of their own business?" Wu Haogu smiled and said, "Christie's, you have a share in the Mi family!

Moreover, I didn’t ask you to use your real name. Just use the name Mi Xiaoyi, and don’t want you to do it for a long time. Just help me with it for a few months. After all, it’s a business creation, and personnel and room is the most difficult time to do, so you can only come.”

Mi Youren was a master of painting (dean of the Academy of Fine Arts of the Song Dynasty) and the Minister of War (Deputy Minister of National Defense). How could a small business person be unable to manage the house?

Moreover, the main task of Christie's personnel room is to poach others' corners. The private corners are definitely not as easy as the corners of the Song Dynasty feudalism.
