At this time, Shi Zhigang and Lu Ban were in the house, holding a knife and a wooden board as if they were carving something.
The two of them are on vacation now, but Jiang Tian also found them an entertainment to pass the time.
"My lord (boss)."
"Ah."
Jiang Tian nodded and looked at the objects in their hands.
"How's the sculpting going, has this 'comic brush' thing been made yet?"
Chapter 498 Someone Just Found Me...
"My lord (boss)."
Seeing Jiang Tian, the two greeted each other.
Afterwards, Lu Ban invited Jiang Tian to take a seat and pointed to some objects on the table.
It was a simple comic book, the one that the artist traded over, and there was a stack of wooden boards beside it.
The boards were the size of a comic book, with patterns carved into them.And it is not difficult to find that these patterns are the mirror version of the comics.
During Lu Ban's introduction, Jiang Tian picked it up and looked at it carefully, then nodded.
Shi Zhigang has practiced carving for a period of time, and has drawn drawings for so long, so he still has kung fu in his hands.
The carved lines are also very stable horizontally and vertically, and the places that should be smooth are also round enough.
It's just that he doesn't know much about characters, and the characters he carves are always a little weird.So now Lu Ban is the one who carves the characters, and Shi Zhigang takes over the carving scenes and dialogues, and the two work together.
Now that some of the engravings have been completed, Jiang Tian also ordered people to experiment.
To be honest, there are quite a few flaws in the printing, such as some details and shadow parts are not as satisfactory, which is not 01:30 points worse than the previous printing in modern society.
However, it's okay in this environment.
"Well, not bad, thank you 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 should."
However, Shi Zhigang and Lu Ban didn't care much about this.
For them, the daily recreational activities are to carve some small objects. Anyway, they are all carvings, so they might as well create some income for the island by the way.
After a brief communication, the two began to concentrate on carving those wooden boards again.
After observing for a while, Jiang Tian suddenly remembered something.
Since the manga is in progress, the written periodicals can naturally be put on the agenda, and it is convenient to look back at the entire newspaper.
"It seems that we still need to get movable type printing..."
After saying a word, Jiang Tian looked at the two people who were carving.
The project of writing is really not small, and it is probably too much for the two of them to complete these tasks.
At this moment, Jiang Tian remembered that he had fallen into a misunderstanding.
During this period of time, due to the rich resources of their own island, they also sell supplies outside on weekdays.
Since the communication and transactions in this world are so developed, then I can also be a good consumer and save time.
Thinking of this, Jiang Tian went back to his 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 clicked his tongue.
Good guy, there really is!
A shop appeared on it with five large characters written on it.
[Bi Sheng Printing Shop]
Clicking in, there is a line of slogans on the homepage.
'Professional movable type printing, the inventor Bi Sheng personally sits in the town and undertakes various printing businesses! '
This store really attracted Jiang Tian's interest, and he immediately asked the boss:
"Are you starting a printing business? Bi Sheng is on your island?"
Not long after, the other party replied with a message.
COPE9002: "Yo, you are the boss of [Shangmeng No. 1]? Welcome!
Our store is indeed a store run by Bi Sheng, the inventor of movable type printing, and the quality is guaranteed!
After such a long time of hard work, we have carved out more than 3000 movable Chinese characters.These more than 3000 words have covered more than 99% of the written materials, and you are guaranteed to be satisfied! "
Jiang Tian was taken aback.
"Good guy, it's enough to carve so many pieces!"
"Hey, that's right! Carving these fonts took almost all of our island's efforts, and it took dozens of days to complete, so it's also a new store opening now, and the price is very favorable!
What are you here to print this time, an advertisement? "
After seeing the inquiry, Jiang Tian had a bold idea in his heart.
"No, no, no, I want to talk to you about a big deal when I come this time!"
COPE9002: "Big deal? Is there such a good thing? Say it quickly!"
"I want to... buy all of your engraved fonts!"
This statement came out.
The owner of this shop was silent for a long while, and finally popped out a word.
"No, yes, yes! This is the means of production that took so long for our entire island to produce, and it is impossible to sell it to you!
To tell you the truth, even if I starved to death, I would not sell you a movable type even if I jumped off the island! "
Seeing this, Jiang Tianyouyou threw out the conditions.
"Two adult boars."
COPE9002: "This... this is the painstaking effort of our whole island for dozens of days! How can it be exchanged for two pigs?"
CNNS1111: "Another boar."
COPE9002 "... We managed to carve so many fonts with great difficulty. You want the fruits of our labor after only three pigs. I will not promise you!"
Seeing the reply, Jiang Tian pouted.
"Add another sow, and you can continue to accept printing business in the future, and hand over the business you receive to me, and I will give you part of the profit.
This is the last chance, if you don't want it, forget it, at worst, I'll find someone else to carve another copy, as long as there are more people, it's not a problem. "
The ultimatum worked.
After a while, the reply appeared in front of Jiang Tian.
COPE9002: "That's it... ahem, let me declare first, I'm not trying to trick you with these materials!
I wanted to reprimand you loudly, but seeing your sincerity, I want to make you my friend. "
The corner of Jiang Tian's mouth twitched: "Oh? What's the way?"
"make a deal!"
……
During the transaction, the two also had a small confrontation.
In order to prevent being deceived, Jiang Tian randomly sent a sentence, and then asked the other party to send over 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 ink and place the paper to press.
Looking at the printed effect, Jiang Tian nodded.
The fonts are printed fairly clearly, and there is no problem with the quality.
After the trial period, the two parties also started formal transactions.
Looking at the neatly stacked movable type in front of him, Jiang Tian smiled.
This transaction seemed to cost a lot to me, but it was actually not a loss at all.
First of all, these resources are not lacking at all, and the most valuable is the fertile sow, and the other three boars can only be regarded as some meat.
Using these costs, in exchange for the other party to spend a lot of labor.
As long as these means of production are purchased, these resources can be earned back quickly.
Especially the last 'chip' given by Jiang Tian.
It seems that he gave the other party a chance to increase his income, but in fact he turned himself into Jiang Tian's salesman.
Afterwards, Jiang Tian looked at the movable type and began to think.
Now that the printing thing is basically ready, what should I do with these movable type now?
First come out the whole "Business Magazine", and sell advertising space while advertising your own store?
Just thinking about these things, the owner of the printing shop just now found Jiang Tian again.
COPE9002: "Boss, just after I sold the means of production to you, I received someone who came to talk to me about business. Look..."
Hearing this, Jiang Tian asked curiously:
"What business, let's talk about it."
COPE9002: "A man came to me just now and asked me... can I print novels for him?"
Chapter 499 Don't Forget My Share
novel?
Seeing this word, Jiang Tian felt quite fresh.
"Just push him over and let me talk to him."
"Okay, if the negotiation is successful, don't forget my share!"
Shortly after.
The small printing boss who disguised himself as his employee pushed over an ID and reported that the other party had sent him a private chat message.
Jiang Tian took a look, entered the ID in the stranger's message and searched, and saw a survivor with the ID CBCY0001 sent him a message.
"Hello boss, I heard that you can print novels here, right?"
"Yes."
After Jiang Tian answered, he asked:
"You're going to print a novel? Have you ever written a novel before?"
"I've written a book before..."
"Oh? What type?"
"The type... According to my idea, it is a combination of game animation, historical fandom, and cross talk entertainment. The style is warm and humorous, with suspenseful reasoning, a little food and horror elements, and it is also mixed with magic, philosophy, and business warfare. An integrated end-of-day farming culture in a different world.”
Seeing this, Jiang Tian was a little confused.
"Good guy, you have a lot of ideas, how about this book?"
"Pounced."
"Pfft!"
Jiang Tian laughed out loud.
When he found out that the laughter was accidentally sent through the chat interface, he explained with a suppressed smile:
"I'm sorry, I think of happy things."
"Oh, laugh, it's okay."
