Chapter 498 Someone Just Found Me...

"Lord (boss)."

Seeing Jiang Tian, ​​the two said hello.

Later, Lu Ban invited Jiang Tian to take a seat and pointed to some objects on the table.

It was a simple comic book, the same one that the artist traded for, and there was a stack of wooden boards next to it.

The boards are the size of comic books and have patterns carved into them. And it is not difficult to find that these patterns are mirror versions of the comics.

During Lu Ban's introduction, Jiang Tian picked it up and looked at it carefully, then nodded.

Shi Zhigang has been practicing carving for some time, and he has been drawing drawings for so long, so he has the skills in his hands.

The carved lines are also very stable horizontally and vertically, and the places that should be rounded are round enough.

It's just that he doesn't know much about characters, so the characters he carves are always a little weird. So now Lu Ban specializes in sculpting characters, and Shi Zhigang takes over sculpting scenes and dialogues, and the two work together.

Now that some of the carvings have been completed, Jiang Tian also ordered people to experiment.

To be honest, there are quite a few flaws in the printing. For example, some details and shadows are not displayed satisfactorily. It is not a little bit worse than previous printing in modern society.

However, it's okay in this environment.

"Well, not bad, thank you both for your hard work."

When he said this, Jiang Tian felt a little guilty.

"There is no rush to use these things. You are still on vacation. Take a rest when you need to."

However, Shi Zhigang and Lu Ban don't care much about this.

For them, their daily entertainment activities are to carve some small objects. Anyway, they are carvings, so they might as well create some profits for the island.

After a brief communication, the two began to carve those wooden boards with concentration.

After observing for a while, Jiang Tian suddenly remembered something.

Since the comics are in progress, text journals can naturally be put on the schedule, and it is convenient to look back at the entire newspaper.

"It seems that we still need to get movable type printing..."

After muttering something, Jiang Tian looked at the two people who were carving.

The writing project is really not a small one, and it would be too much for just the two of them to complete the work.

At this time, Jiang Tian remembered that he had fallen into a misunderstanding.

During this period of time, due to the rich resources of my own island, I have been selling supplies outside on weekdays.

Since the communication and transactions in this world are so advanced, you can also be a consumer and save some time.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tian returned to the room and clicked on the store list of the trading house.

After thinking for a while, I searched for the word [printing].

When the search results appeared, Jiang Tian also clicked his tongue.

Good guy, there really is!

A shop appeared on it with five big characters written on it.

[Bisheng Printing Shop]

If you click on it, you will see a line of slogans on the home page.

‘Professional movable type printing, the inventor Bi Sheng is personally in charge to undertake various printing services! ’

This store really attracted Jiang Tian's interest, and he immediately asked the boss:

"Have you started a printing business? Bi Sheng is on your island?"

Soon after, the other party responded with a message.

COPE9002: "Hey, you are the boss of [Business Alliance No. 1]? Welcome!

Our store is indeed owned by Bi Sheng, the inventor of movable type printing, and the quality is guaranteed!

After such a long period of hard work, we have carved out more than 3,000 living Chinese characters. These more than 3,000 words have covered more than 99% of the written information, you are guaranteed to be satisfied! "

Jiang Tian was stunned.

"Good guy, I carved so many of them, that's enough!"

"Hey, that's right! It took almost all of our efforts on the island to carve these fonts, and it took us dozens of days to complete, so now a new store is opening, and the prices are very favorable!

Are you here to print something this time, advertising? "

After seeing the inquiry, Jiang Tian had a bold idea in his mind.

"No, no, no, I want to talk to you about a big deal when I come here this time!"

COPE9002: "Big deal? Is there such a good thing? Tell me, tell me!"

"I want to... buy all of your carved fonts!"

As soon as this statement came out.

The owner of this shop was silent for a long time, and finally said one word.

"No, it's possible! This is a means of production that our entire island has spent so long working on, and it's impossible to sell it to you!

To tell you the truth, even if I starved to death and jumped off the island, I would not sell you a piece of movable type! "

Seeing this, Jiang Tian Youyou offered conditions.

"Two adult boars."

COPE9002: "This...this is the hard work of our entire island for dozens of days! How can it be exchanged for just two pigs?"

CNNS1111: “Add another boar.”

COPE9002 "...We have worked so hard to carve so many fonts, and you want the fruits of our labor with only three pigs. I won't agree to it!"

Seeing the reply, Jiang Tian curled his lips.

"Add another sow, and you can continue to take over the printing business in the future. Give me the business you receive, and I will give you a portion of the profit.

This is your last chance. If you don't want it, forget it. At worst, I'll find someone else to carve another one. As long as there are more people, it won't be a problem. "

The ultimatum worked.

After a short while, a reply appeared in front of Jiang Tian.

COPE9002: "Is that so... ahem, let me first make it clear that I am not after your supplies!

I wanted to rebuke you loudly, but seeing that you are sincere, I want to make friends with you."

Jiang Tian's mouth curled: "Oh? How do you do it?"

"Deal!"

...

During the transaction, the two also had a small confrontation.

In order to prevent being deceived, Jiang Tian sent a sentence casually, and then asked the other party to send the movable type contained in this sentence to check the quality of these movable type.

After the other party sent the "trial product", Jiang Tian ordered his men to add ink and place the paper to press.

After looking at the printed effect, Jiang Tian nodded.

The font was printed clearly and there was no problem with the quality.

After the trial, the two sides also started the formal transaction.

Looking at the neatly stacked movable type in front of him, Jiang Tian's mouth curled up a smile.

This transaction seems to cost a lot for him, but in fact it is not a loss at all.

First of all, he had no shortage of these resources, and the most valuable one was the fertile sow, while the other three boars were just some meat.

Using these costs, the other party spent a lot of labor.

As long as these means of production were purchased, these resources could be earned back quickly.

Especially the last "chip" given by Jiang Tian.

It seemed to give the other party an opportunity to increase income, but in fact it turned him into Jiang Tian's salesperson.

Then, Jiang Tian looked at these movable type and began to think.

Now that he was basically ready to print this thing, what should he do with these movable type now?

First, the whole "business magazine" came out, advertising for his own store while selling advertising space?

Just when he was thinking about these, the owner of the printing shop just now suddenly found Jiang Tian again.

COPE9002: "Boss, I just sold the means of production to you, and I received a call from someone to discuss business with me, you see..."

Hearing this, Jiang Tian asked curiously:

"What business, tell me."

COPE9002: "Just now someone found me and asked me... if I could help him print novels?"
