The topic of Tongque Palace in Jinling City has never been dissipated.
Needless to say, there are three levels of entertainment projects. Many people are aiming for the title of emperor's palace and the dream of becoming a high official.
I played it again and again, and the topic continued spontaneously.
Immediately afterwards, I heard news from the court.
The Ministry of Industry is preparing to expand the Tongque Palace to the size of a small city, and the first batch of academy areas have been completed.
And you can see from morning to night these two days, academies are moving in groups to the southern suburbs.
Moreover, many places in the southern suburbs have already drawn zoning lines on the ground.
Looking at the Ministry of Industry, they are really planning to build a city!
All the officials were quite surprised by this.
Before, they thought that the drawings of the new Tongque Palace were just a piece of cake painted by Feng Shangshu, used as a cover to get the young emperor's approval to build an academy.
But they went to the Ministry of Industry to inquire.
What I got was a definite answer!
"Is the Tongque Palace tour project so profitable? Although it seems to be making money every day, there will probably be fewer people in the future."
"If you want to build a city, it will be drizzle even if you drink 10 million taels. Can Zhou Quede get so much money?"
It was Zhou Kongfang who proposed the idea of me becoming prime minister, which was a humiliating project for all officials.
All civil and military officials in the dynasty were filled with hatred.
Nowadays, he no longer honors the God of Wealth as before. Zhou Kongfang is just a wicked thing who gave birth to a child without an asshole!
"There must be some new ideas. We can't figure out Zhou Quede's business experience."
"By the way, have you found where Zhou Quede lives?"
"The devil knows, there are three cunning rabbit holes!"
"I returned to Zhou Mansion the day before yesterday to receive his youngest daughter Feng Zhaoyi's order. There was no trace of him at all other times."
"He is really a loach!"
In the anger and resentment of hundreds of officials.
Zhou Kongfang finally demonstrated his wealth-making ability once again.
Visitors to the Tongque Palace discovered that blank wooden boards like signboards were erected at regular intervals on both sides of the road.
Ask the eunuch tour guide.
The name of the explanation is another new term, billboard.
At the same time, an "advertising investment" office was also opened near Tongque Palace.
Someone was curious and asked.
Currently we only handle advertising business for roadside signboards.
The so-called advertising is equivalent to asking the merchants in Jinling City to put up their signs on the roadside to attract customers.
Zhou Kongfang had great expectations for this plan from the beginning.
He is a businessman.
When the emperor proposed the plan to first accumulate customer traffic and then advertise, he felt that this plan had great potential!
As long as you are a smart business owner.
You won’t miss this great opportunity to promote yourself.
And as expected.
After the news spread, businessmen of all sizes in Jinling City already lined up at the office.
Some acquaintances who knew Zhou Kongfang even directly found the Zhou Mansion.
I want to rely on my connections to get some good advertising spots.
Although they didn't meet Zhou Kongfang, who was afraid of being beaten to death by hundreds of officials, they still left messages for Zhou's housekeeper, hoping to meet him.
And these people are the big customers that Zhou Kongfang has long expected.
After receiving the letter from the housekeeper.
Zhou Kongfang invited everyone to a private room in a small restaurant to discuss important matters.
"Everyone, please take a seat."
"Please forgive me, the court officials are very angry right now, and I really don't dare to go home, so I can only invite you to this remote place."
"We know Mr. Zhou's situation and understand it."
"We are all old acquaintances. Brother Zhou, please don't be polite to us. Let's get straight to the point and talk about the advertisement."
Zhou Kongfang nodded.
Pull out a floor plan.
"Everyone, please take a look, this is part of the drawing of the new Tongque Palace. The red dots on it are all the locations I marked where advertisements can be placed."
At first glance at the drawings, a table of big businessmen didn't have much reaction.
But after taking a closer look, some people couldn't help but exclaim.
"Master Zhou, can a sign be erected in front of the main gate of the Tongque Palace shown on your map?"
"That's right! As long as it's a red dot, you can put your sign on it."
"Of course, the more people flow to a place, the more expensive the advertising fee will be! Everyone should have figured this out, right?"
"I understand. Mr. Zhou, if we put the advertisement at the entrance of the main hall of Tongque Palace, won't the emperor blame us when he finds out?"
"Do you think that the smell of copper has polluted the scene of the fairy family?"
Zhou Kongfang waved his hand.
He promised them: "Don't worry, as long as you don't lower the price with me, the emperor won't care about anything when he sees the money."
The big businessmen laughed sarcastically.
"Brother Zhou, is it natural for merchants to bargain?"
Zhou Kongfang waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I didn't express myself clearly. What I meant was that you should not be too low."
"As you can see from this picture, I have reserved the best advertising positions for you, just because I think everyone is a friend."
"And as a friend, your advertising expenses must be used so that I can communicate with the emperor."
"It's natural to reciprocate love!"
Next comes the bidding stage.
Although they all saw the business opportunity of promoting themselves to make more money, after all, it was the first time and the bidding was not fierce.
But fortunately, the prices were above Zhou Kongfang's expectations.
then.
The day after the blank billboard was erected.
The people of Jinling City discovered that after one night, the blank space disappeared and was replaced by image and text advertisements from various businesses.
Among them, Jinyulou, which sells jewelry, is the most arrogant.
The advertisement is from the entrance of Nancheng, and there are three forks all the way to the entrance of the Tongque Palace amusement project.
After tourists go deep into the visiting area.
I discovered that at the entrance to the main hall of Tongque Palace, there was also a two-person-high advertising sign for Jinyu Tower.
It's so bright that it's hard to see.
"I heard that this kind of billboard requires rent, right? It seems that the rent for the innermost position is tens of thousands taels a month? There are so many big companies in Jinyu Building that put up so many advertisements?"
"I just want to buy jewelry. How about we go to Jinyu Tower? I don't think there are fakes from this wealthy person, right?"
"Madam, I like the style in this picture. We will visit the Tongque Palace tomorrow and go to the Jinyu Tower today!"
The effectiveness of advertising is gradually becoming apparent.
At the invitation of the boss of Jinyulou, Zhou Kongfang was a guest on the third floor of Jinyulou main store today.
The two of them watched the crowd of customers below.
While enjoying a drink of wine.
"Brother Zhou, let me toast you again!"
"This so-called advertising thing is really awesome! People in the world say you are the God of Wealth, and they are indeed right!
"Look at the person below. I estimate that today's income is at least ten times higher than before! Maybe it only takes three to five days to earn back the advertising fees, and it will be pure profit for the next month!"
The boss of Jinyulou was extremely happy.
He kept urging Zhou Kongfang to drink.
Zhou Kongfang said drunkenly: "How about it, Lao Zhou, I privately advised you to take down half of the billboards before, was that right?"
"Of course not! It's a shame that I hesitated at that time and neglected you, the God of Wealth!"
"Fortunately, you agreed in the end, otherwise we have been friends for decades... Huh, Lao Zhou, am I the kind of person who can deceive friends?"
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault, drink, drink!"
"Actually, I asked you to engage in such a big battle because I wanted to show it to His Majesty. Now that you, Jin Yu Lou, have become a big fat man, I can increase the advertising fee next month by at least five or six times.
!”
"In the future, if the monthly advertising fee is fixed at one million yuan, and the entertainment items are hundreds of thousands, are you afraid that His Majesty will be unhappy?"
"Your Majesty must be happy!"
"Brother Zhou, I have nothing to say about this business experience, Gao!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, drink!"
And when Jinyulou calculated the sales for the day that night, all the merchants in Jinling went crazy!
