During dinner, Xie Hua'er rarely spoke and kept her head down while eating. The younger sister glanced at Zhang San with a scrutinizing look. Zhang San quickly turned his head to the side and helped Xiaoyu pick up the food.
Fang Keying no longer eats with them now, while Mrs. Xu and Xiaoyan accompany Fang Keying.
After dinner, Xu and Xiaoyan went out for a walk, leaving space for Zhang San.
"Sanlang, your little boy is naughty again, always kicking me in the stomach." Fang Keying touched her belly and said to Zhang San.
"It's the night when the baby is active, let me listen." Zhang San put his face on Fang Keying's belly, feeling the two people's child in Fang Keying's belly, and felt very happy in his heart.
Recently, Xiaoyu encountered the same headache as Fang Keying, because her menstrual period came again this month.
Xiaoyu pouted at night, obviously very unhappy.
Zhang San coaxes his eldest wife to sleep, and here he has to comfort his second wife, which is very fulfilling.
However, with Fang Keying's experience, although Xiaoyu was distressed that she had not been tricked, she was not as anxious as Fang Keying had been.
But I have already planned in my mind to go to the temple to pay my respects in a few days.
Zhang San slept peacefully that night and didn't even have a dream.
Maybe I was just too tired some time ago, and now I just took the opportunity to recuperate.
When I got up this morning, I saw Li Tai and Chang Sun Chong happily running to Zhang San's house.
"Why are you so happy today that you found money?"
Zhang San saw the two of them in the living room and joked.
"How many money can you pick up? Mistress, your method is really effective. Many businessmen have come to inquire about advertising space in this issue of the weekly." Li Tai said with a smile.
"Yes, this issue of the weekly magazine has not only been able to recover its costs, but has also started to make a profit." Changsun Chong also admired it.
"As expected, merchants have the sharpest business acumen, but you must control the number of advertising spaces as I said earlier. Our newspapers should still focus on publicizing political affairs, current affairs, and hot topics.
"Zhang San warned.
"We know this. Emperor Father has also arranged special people to take charge of current affairs and politics. We will not put the cart before the horse." Li Tai replied.
"That's good. Let's recruit some editors. How is it going now?"
"We have recruited a few Confucian scholars, but the stories and articles they wrote are still very different from what you wrote, so you still need to check them in the next few issues." Li Tai replied.
"Okay, after all, this matter has just started. I will also take time to train them. You can also publish a message to encourage everyone to actively submit manuscripts. Selected manuscripts can be given a certain amount of remuneration." Zhang San suggested.
"This is a good idea. I'll have someone add it to this issue of the magazine." Li Tai's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Where is the logistics company? Is the business hiding now?" Zhang San asked Changsun Chong.
"There are a lot of orders now, and the current manpower is not enough. I will temporarily let the servants at home help escort, and at the same time recruit more people, but for the time being, they will have to conduct some business training." Changsun Chong replied.
"That's good. I didn't expect China Commercial Bank to gain a foothold in Chang'an and achieve such great results in such a short period of time."
Zhang San originally thought that with an official background and the support of Li Shimin, it would not be difficult to develop, but he did not expect that Li Shimin, the "image spokesperson", would be so appealing.
"Miss, can we increase the price of our advertising space? It's only 500 yuan each, isn't it too cheap?" Li Tai asked.
"We don't want to increase prices yet. Let those merchants taste the benefits first. When they adapt to the dividends brought by advertising, we can increase prices."
"That's okay. Can we do the daily report you mentioned last time?"
"It's better to take it slow first and wait until some editors are trained before starting. Otherwise, we will have to think about the content of each weekly issue for a long time and turn it into a daily newspaper. We will not be satisfied with the content alone, and the printing workshop will also need to be expanded.
Now, let’s recruit more people.”
Now the newspaper company has just seen some possibility of making a profit, and Zhang San still wants to stabilize the situation. However, the logistics company has already made tens of thousands of dollars in profit in less than a month, so it can expand its infrastructure appropriately.
At the same time, it is also necessary to arrange stations in several other states to facilitate the deployment of supplies in the future.
Li Tai and Chang Sun Chong sat here for a while and then left, taking with them the new copy written by Zhang San.
When Zhang San walked to the backyard, he saw Xie Hua'er sitting in the pavilion, so he said, "Don't you feel hot sitting there?"
There was no wind in the yard at this time, the sunshine outside was very strong, and there was no refrigerator in the pavilion.
"You have to worry about where I sit, huh! Beast!" Xie Hua'er snorted coldly.
Hearing Xie Hua'er call him a beast, Zhang San felt inexplicably relieved. However, the thought was cut off by Zhang San as soon as he came up. He must not have a tendency to self-abuse.
"Why did I offend you again? Be careful how I treat your family and let you know who is the boss in this family!" Zhang San said fiercely.
It used to be that I was called inferior to a beast, but now I have removed the word "inferior" directly, but it still sounds like a curse.
"It's okay for you, sir. I can't afford to offend you, a little girl." Xie Hua'er replied.
"Hey! Why are you swearing? It's your uncle's fault."
"How could I scold you? Didn't you tell me to know who is the uncle in the family? You are not happy to say that you are." Xie Hua'er said angrily.
"I said it the third time. You gave me the fourth time and you said it wasn't a curse?"
"Why are you just swearing?" Xie Hua'er asked.
Zhang San was stunned by this sentence. It seems that there is no such "dirty word" yet, right?
"Third brother, aren't you hot when you stand under the sun? Sister Hua'er, I have finally found you. I didn't see anyone in your room just now." The little girl suddenly ran over and was very confused when she saw Zhang San standing under the sun.
asked.
When the little girl said this, Zhang San realized that he was still standing under the sun, and asked why he was sweating on his forehead? He thought he was angry with Xie Hua'er.
"Your third brother is just a fool, little sister, why are you looking for me?" Xie Hua'er didn't forget to bury Zhang San.
Zhang San didn't bother to talk to her anymore. He was really a fool if he stood under the sun again!
"Xiao Shi and I compiled a script together. You can go and see if it works. If it works, we can rehearse it later." Xiao Mei replied.
"Okay, let's go!"
Xie Hua'er saw Zhang San running towards the house, and she didn't bother to sit here. It was indeed quite hot.
But Xie Hua'er didn't know why she was sitting here so fascinated. Was it because she was "quarreling" with Zhang San?
