Maximum Comprehension: Taking Care of Swords In A Sword Pavilion

595 Invitation to the Conference

What is an exclusive sponsor?

Han Muye chuckled and explained.

From the brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones used in the literary conference to the servants’ robes, tables, chairs, and refreshments in the venue, all of them would be provided by the Han Family Trading Company for free.

In other words, for this literary event held on the Cloud Brocade Immortal Ship, not only would Princess Yunjin not have to spend a single spiritual rock, she would also get countless goods for free.

!!

Chen Ru blinked and looked at Han Muye.

Isn’t this a fool?

Can it be that my master has the intention to pursue Princess Yunjin, which is why he’s spending his wealth and spiritual rocks for nothing?

However, with Princess Yunjin, this kind of action will probably not succeed. Instead, it’s counterproductive…

If a mere treasure could win Princess Yunjin’s heart, then those who were willing to use spiritual rocks to pile up the Cloud Brocade Immortal Ship would probably line up from the Yongding River to the Imperial City.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Ru lowered his head and said softly, “Master, Chen Ru is slow-witted. I wonder what the underlying motive behind this exclusive sponsorship is?”

A scholar should have the temperament of a scholar.

Since he, Chen Ru, had been hired by the Han Family Trading Company, he had to think for the master.

Perhaps his master was infatuated and had lost his standard in his actions. He should advise him.

Of course, one had to be wise to advise.

Chen Ru felt that by asking like this, not only would he not embarrass Han Muye, but he could also reach a conclusion and admonish his master after he analyzed the pros and cons.

As for whether he would be looked down upon by his master because of his modesty and stupidity, as long as this master was not a mediocre person, he would understand his painstaking efforts.

You don’t understand?

He nodded.

This was a knowledge barrier.

Cultivation practitioners often encountered knowledge barriers.

One could not see the wood for the trees. When people’s understanding could not be integrated with new knowledge, most people would subconsciously think that their thoughts were right.

Escaping and hiding were subconscious fears of the unknown.

However, Chen Ru was a thoughtful person who was able to persuade him in person.

“On the day of the literary conference, all the servants’ clothes will have the ‘Han Family Trading Company’ trademark. Everyone on the immortal ship will be dressed uniformly.

“All the guests will be given an expensive gift. There will also be the mark of our Han Company on the gift.

“There will be banners sponsored exclusively by the Han Company hanging in all the visible places on the immortal ship.

“When receiving guests, we must mention that the literary conference is sponsored by the Han Company.

“Then everyone in the Imperial City will know the name of my Han Family Trading Company.

“It’s just like gathering the People’s Will. Chen Ru, I believe you know the benefits of being famous for a company.”

Han Muye explained, bit by bit. Initially, Chen Ru was about to refute, but the more he listened, the stranger his expression became.

Towards the end, his eyes were sparkling.

“There are 13 big businesses in the city. Which one of them isn’t famous in the Central Continent? Their reputation is their strong signboard!

“Master, Chen Ru understands the purpose of this exclusive sponsorship!

“I’m amazed! Master is really a business genius!”

Chen Ru could not help but praise. Then he suggested in a low voice. ????????????????????α????. ????????????

“Master, since we want to sponsor the entire process, the quality of this inkstone can’t be too low. I suggest using the inkstone of the Ma Family Workshop in the Imperial City, the paper of the Hu Family, the ink brush of the Sun Family, and the Yunzhou ink of the imperial family.”

“Also, use all the melons, fruits, and wine of superior quality. Servants will bring them out and tell the guests that these melons and fruits are carefully selected by the Han Corporation.”

As if enlightened, Chen Ru spoke faster and faster. He really had something in mind and there was light in his eyes.

Han Muye smiled and nodded.

Sometimes, a person’s talent needed to be discovered.

Chen Ru was a guy with a sharp business sense.

With a little guidance, he could deduce the subsequent sponsorship matters clearly.

“Master, I’m afraid that these ordinary goods won’t be able to win the attention of those great Confucian scholars participating in the literary conference.”

Chen Ru looked at Han Muye.

Those who were qualified to participate in the literary conference were all great scholars in the Imperial City. They won’t be moved by brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, or other goods.

“Of course, ordinary things aren’t for them.”

Han Muye smiled and took out an invitation.

“Two things.

“First, use this invitation to find a Confucianist cultivator in the Imperial City and invite him to write a handwritten letter for this literary conference.”

As soon as Han Muye finished speaking, Chen Ru subconsciously shrank back.

Is he trying to fleece the great scholars in the city?

Isn’t he afraid of offending all the scholars?

“It’s fine. The handwriting on this invitation belongs to Deputy Head Lu Yuzhou. Those scholars would give him face.”

Han Muye’s expression did not change as he spoke softly.

...

The corners of Chen Ru’s eyes twitched. Before he could speak, he heard Han Muye’s words again. “Anyway, after the literary conference, we won’t care about what happens in the future.

“How about this? Replicate 100,000 copies of the invitation and sell them to the Confucian students in the city.

“100,000 is not a lot. So sell the invitation card for 3,000 spiritual rocks apiece.”

Selling invitation cards!

Chen Ru widened his eyes and looked at Han Muye.

Can the Master really do such a thing?

“Master, I’m afraid you’re cutting yourself off from the Confucian Dao…” Chen Ru had to remind him.

Confucian scholars had a smug and self-righteous attitude and hated people with a profit-seeking spirit. Chen Ru was willing to enter the business world, but he could not sell invitations…

“Idiot.” Han Muye glanced at Chen Ru and lowered his voice. “I’m opening a path for the poor students in the Imperial City and giving them an opportunity.

“During the literary conference, there might be a few famous poems passed down from ancient times. These students can observe them from afar. If they get any inspiration, it’s worth three to five thousand spiritual rocks.”
