He naturally wouldn't mind knowing more.

Tong Cheng'er: "This is what your fourth brother is planning..."

Tong Cheng'er told Yin Tang about her idea of ​​"how to reduce the cost of children's early education by using pencils so that most ordinary families can also afford to read books".

After listening, Yin Tang understood what she meant.

These pencils are very inexpensive to produce, so their price can't be too high, otherwise ordinary people won't be able to afford them.

This made Yinzhen feel uncomfortable.

He was born into wealth and was favored by his mother. Although he was not outstanding in his studies among his many brothers, he was serious about making money through business.

Since we're serious about this, then naturally we need to make money.

It can be said that he earned not only money, but also a sense of accomplishment.

Seeing his expressionless face, Tong Cheng'er asked him, "What's wrong? Ninth Brother, is there something you're wondering about?"

Yinzhen was about to shake his head, but in the end he didn't. He said in confusion, "Fourth Sister-in-law, this pencil doesn't earn much money, it's a bit boring."

After listening, Tong Cheng'er shook her head and said, "What makes you say that, Ninth Brother?"

Although Yin Tang had never done business before, he was interested in it and had learned some of the ins and outs.

"Pencils are inexpensive to produce and not expensive. If they are priced according to what ordinary people can afford, the profit per pencil will only be a few coins."

Tong Cheng'er understood that the Ninth Prince thought the profit margin on pencils was too low.

Thinking of this, Tong Cheng'er couldn't help but laugh.

Although that's what they say, Tong Cheng'er knows that pencils are sold on a low-profit, high-volume basis, and there's a lot of money to be made from them!

Thinking this, Tong Cheng'er saw that the Ninth Prince was not very old, so she wanted to give him a few pointers. Actually, it wasn't really pointers. After all, she had seen a lot of modern marketing methods and could naturally learn a little bit. Now, she could use this knowledge to "enlighten" the child.

"Ninth Brother, do you know how many people the Qing Dynasty has now?"

Xintang frowned. He was still studying in the Imperial Study and had no idea about such things.

He shook his head: "I didn't know. Why is Fourth Sister-in-law asking these questions?"
