Chapter 84 Commercialization and… Becoming an Icon The name is more important - how to quickly commercialize new things.

In other words, how to make money quickly with this thing.

"Next, the first thing we need to do is to attract customers." Igor motioned for everyone to be quiet, "Let's do the math, after cutting off the useless parts with irregular edges, this piece of base paper can be divided into How many rectangles are the same size and shape?"

It's easy to find the answer, just fold it in half. Igor took it personally and quickly came to the conclusion that a piece of base paper can be divided into 6 sheets slightly larger than A4 paper with as little waste as possible. Considering such considerations as plate size and ergonomics mainly for books, it should actually be cut in half again. That is, a piece of base paper can eventually be turned into 12 pieces of paper of moderate size for practical use, which can be printed and bound into books or other various booklets.

"How many sheets of this kind of base paper can the workshop produce in a day so far?"

Nina licked her lips and thought for a few seconds: "Not good said, from the raw material When it finally becomes paper, there are some steps in the middle that take time to wait. Adding medicine powder such as lime and finally baking it with fire can speed up the speed. If you can hire more people... buy more equipment to make all the processes cycle. , it will be much faster."

"Then expand as soon as possible, and recruit local and familiar people as much as possible..." Igor thought for a while, suggested: "divide papermaking into several independent processes, specific The workers are only responsible for specific steps and perform assembly line operations. This will not only speed up production, but if someone wants to secretly learn papermaking, they will also need to pay a lot of money to dig out the workers of the entire production line. Such great generality is impossible. Secretly."

"The assembly line?" Nina bit her lip again, thinking for a while, and quickly understood what Igor meant.

"What can you do if people just and honourable poach people?" Tyrion sighed, shrugging: "This is not a complicated craft, and when the production scale is large, you can't stop others from learning how to make paper. "Indeed, so we have to act fast, and before various competitors emerge, we have to establish cooperative relationships with as many big money owners as possible to eliminate their potential threats. , and seize as many markets as possible." Igor nods as much as possible, in this world without the concept of intellectual property, it is just whimsical to want to take the cake alone, he will not make such useless efforts: "By the way, first put together the existing paper. Now, print a copy of "Seven-Pointed Star" and show it to Church and the people in bookstores and grocery stores, and try to negotiate some orders, Tyrion, you are good at this, I will give it to you."

"How do you know that I'm good at this!?"

"I must be better than me." Igor showed a narrow smile, Tyrion's ability to talk business oneself is unclear, but only the members of House Lannister this An identity is already a big plus. Make the best use of your talents and resources, and squeeze everyone's ability and influence. This is especially important in the initial stage of entrepreneurship. "Of course, the matter of recruiting more employees to share the pressure has to be put on the agenda quickly. Don't be idle until the big order is negotiated, don't stop working while researching ways to improve the process, and send all the produced paper to the printing office. Print it as a calendar. Whoever wants it will wholesale it, and if no one wants it, give it to me at the Night's Watch office as a gift. I will send a monthly calendar to a visitor. If you buy bonds, you will send it for the whole year. If it is about investment, he will Night's Watch Legion, a permanent home calendar."

"Nice idea." Tyrion likes the idea. Of course, the calendar is not an invention of Igor. In this irregular world, major festivals and other important time points, it is referred to as "The King's Calendar". It was formulated by Citadel and released after being reviewed and approved by Iron Throne. Paper for a long time is an approximate luxury, and items made from it are naturally not common. Officials and wealthy people who need to accurately control the time will always have a copy at home. Ordinary city residents usually have a copy for several households or even a street. In a little poorer country, sometimes even an entire village will have a copy.

As a non-necessary paper calendar, its rare and rare impression in the eyes of the ordinary person has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, not to mention neat and beautiful prints. Using this thing as a gift, neither shameful nor too much of the Great Accomplishment book, is simply perfect.

In this workshop, Igor will always unconsciously become the leader and principal. The key is that everyone seems to have no opinion... After assigning the mission, He remembered oneself: "Of course, I don't do nothing, I will find some people who can write stories, and write some popular adventure novels. In the future, we will have more papermaking and printing capabilities. Just started printing fiction books."

"Master, you keep telling me about your adventures before you came to Westeros, and those stories alone would be enough for a book."

Igor just wanted to pat her head habitually to stop her from interfering, when suddenly he thought: Hey, why didn't oneself think of this? This girl is really smart, in order to show less weak spot when cheating her, oneself bragging is really drafted, and every night when I think of a story, I will write it down in the notebook as a memo. And what can make oneself remember is the world-class excellent adventure novels - such as xx tens of thousands of miles, xx island, xx adventures, xx drifting, xx days around the world, etc., organize these wonderful and interesting story outlines Give it to a novelist or Bard, let him refill, perfect and polish it and combine it into oneself's adventure biography. When an alternative copywriter and impostor... What kind of adventure hero will he create?
Believe it or not, the sales will definitely not be too bad anyway. These are all easy-to-understand adventure stories that have gone through the test of the market and are suitable for all ages. You don’t need any experience or literary literacy to appreciate.

There is a long way to go to improve the impression of Night's Watch in the eyes of the public. Maybe, oneself should stand up and become an idol?
He had a rare affirmation of Arya's punctuation: "Well, good idea."

Tyrion rolled his eyes, suddenly came to Igor's side and lowered his voice: "There is one more thing to forget Now, although it can't be on the stage, the public likes it."

"What is it!?" The whisper did not escape Arya's ears.

......

It is related to the topic that several people are discussing, but it is not on the stage and the public likes it? Then there is only Xiao Huang-Ben, this is really a good idea, Westeros should not have Divine Beast. Igor chuckled inwardly, and whispered to the girl: "Don't worry, when the time comes I'll show you the book."

Will it bring harm to the little child? Ed Oneself has no time to let his daughter let him haunt oneself all day long. Oneself didn't ask him for custody fees and tuition fees.

The things to be discussed are almost the same. Now, as long as everyone performs their own duties and implements them separately, the game of money will officially begin.

"There's one last thing, you siblings, I've agreed to reward you." Igor remembered, this time the promise was the version negotiated with Tyrion: "Last time I said One-tenth of the profit of your paper mill, but this sentence is unclear and mindless, and it is not worth it. In this way, half of this workshop is yours - not only the profit, but all of it After a few days and the funds are more abundant, I will also think of buying this yard as your fixed place for process improvement and living place. It is a return on your investment in technology and credit, and I will use it in writing. , to determine your ownership of this half. And as a price, you are not allowed to change jobs or set up new doors before getting my permission. If you have new ideas and inventions, you must first notify Night's Watch Legion... If you have no opinion, you siblings Whoever will come back to the Night's Watch office with me later, we will sign the agreement today."

"Thank you, sir!" Big brother Neil finally responded quickly: "This... agreement , let Nina sign it."

It's really tiring. I want to temporarily stop the update and sorry. After all, the daily update is already very slow. Please forgive me for the decline in the level. Please remind me if you find typos and language errors. In addition, I don’t plan to write this book as farming, and the relevant content will be skipped as soon as possible... think Those who watch are sorry, those who don't want to watch are relieved.
