The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2189 The Magical Use of Yellow Pages

On this day, Li Shimin suddenly found Dai Zhou.

In fact, Dai Zhou was a little afraid of Li Shimin.

Because Li Shimin has one thought every day.

And when an idea comes to him, he is required to do it well.

This kind of emperor gave him a headache.

Several times.

He almost wanted to resign with the emperor and go back to the countryside.

Then spend your remaining years in peace.

Because you need to be full of energy to work under Li Shimin, and if you don't do things well, you may be scolded by Li Shimin.

This made Dai Zhou very angry. He originally worked for him, but now he has to be scolded by you every day. Who would be unhappy, right?

But Li Shimin didn't realize this at all. He could find whomever he wanted.

Who made him the emperor?

There are some things that others don't know if you don't tell them. Dai Zhou is such a person. He doesn't dare to talk about these things with Li Shimin.

Therefore, only he can bear these things.

Maybe he doesn't dare to say no to Li Shimin now.

Because Li Shimin was also kind to him.

Better than ordinary ministers.

For example, when Cheng Yaojin came back that day, Li Shimin said he wanted to reward him, but he didn't seem to reward him with anything later.

On the other hand, he got a lot of money from Li Shimin.

This is how Li Shimin values ​​himself.

Ordinary ministers have never received such treatment.

There was no other way, so Dai Zhou had no choice but to enter the palace.

Go talk to Li Shimin about why he is allowed to enter the palace this time.

So when Dai Zhou walked into Tai Chi Palace.

When he saw Li Shimin, Li Shimin said.

"Dai Zhou, I have taken a fancy to a golden plate. It is carved with dragons and phoenixes. It is very beautiful. Can you find this plate for me? I want to renovate the roof of Tai Chi Palace to make it look more brilliant. .”

Dai Zhou thought to himself, it turned out to be this, wouldn't it be better to just call him?

He was a little annoyed that he had to talk about this alone in the palace.

But he still agreed.

"Your Majesty, what does the plate you are talking about look like? Do you have a picture? Or a drawing or something like that. I can go find it!"

It’s true that you can’t just get it out for Li Shimin just because he wants it.

Nowadays, there are many shops producing boards throughout Datang, and there are many styles.

After saying this, Li Shimin was silent for a moment.

Then he said: "There is no drawing for this plate, and I forgot where I saw it, but it is very beautiful. I don't know who made it, so I asked you to find it for me."

Li Shimin has said so, so what else can he do?
So Dai Zhou agreed.

"That's it, I'll go look for it. Maybe I can find it."

"Okay, go ahead. This matter needs to be done quickly."

"Yes, I understand!"

Dai Zhou responded.

But this matter is like finding a needle in a haystack.

It is very difficult to find the boards Li Shimin needs.

It can be said that it is basically impossible.

But there is no way.Since Li Shimin wanted it, he would search through the entire Tang Dynasty to find that thing.

Otherwise, Li Shimin might not let him live comfortably in this matter.

"Then Your Majesty, I will go out to look for you now."

"Go ahead and give it to me in the afternoon!"

Li Shimin said again.

"what?"

"Can't you?"

"I'll do my best."

Something you say verbally, you say in the morning that you want it in the afternoon.

It's impossible for Dai Zhou to have three heads and six arms.

However, Dai Zhou could only go and look for it.

But he was thinking, shouldn't this matter be brought to Duan Lun first?
He is the Minister of Industry, and he is responsible for the renovation of the palace.

But why did Li Shimin think of himself?

This made him very puzzled.

But this one has to be done.

So, he quickly went to the largest building materials market in Chang'an City.

The things here can be said to be the safest in Chang'an.

But he searched around and couldn't find such a thing.

The boards Li Shimin mentioned gave him a headache.

Until noon, he had to pick up the phone and dial Wei Zheng's number.

It would be better to let people from the Shengtang Group handle this matter.

And Wei Zheng is nothing more than the most suitable candidate.

So, he got in touch with Wei Zheng.

At this time, Wei Zheng answered the phone and asked, "Dai Zhou, what's the matter?"

"Wei Zheng, I have something to ask you."

"you say!"

"Do you know where to buy planks in Chang'an City?"

"There is one in the Building Materials City. It is the largest building materials city in Chang'an!"

Wei Zheng said directly.

"I'm here now, but I've looked at many houses, but I haven't seen them."

"Then I can't help you with this matter." Wei Zheng said directly.

"You have a solution, right? Your Majesty wants this."

Dai Zhou said again.

Wei Zheng heard that Li Shimin wanted it.

There is no special feeling.

But Dai Zhou added: "I may be able to find it now, but it takes too much time. That's why I thought of asking you, can you tell me how to obtain this kind of advertisement?"

Wei Zheng thought for a while.

"Come to the tenement building, I have something to show you."

"Yes! I'll go now!"

Dai Zhou was very happy.

In this way, Wei Zheng has a solution.

As long as he nods, then this matter can be handled well.

Li Shimin is really hateful.

Let him very depressed.

Now there is a solution.

All is well.

Dai Zhou immediately went to the Tanglou.

He got on the subway and headed to the tenement building.

It only took about ten minutes to reach the downstairs of the tenement building.

When he went upstairs, Wei Zheng had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as Dai Zhou arrived, he asked Wei Zheng: "How is it? What is the solution?"

"Here, let me show you this! As long as you can find it."

After speaking, Wei Zheng gave Dai Zhou a huge yellow book with a large number of advertisements printed inside.

Advertisements are also divided into categories.

Everything about an industry is in those pages.

This book must be at least a thousand pages long.Very thick.

God knows, how many companies are there.

It contains more than just the company name, but also the address and phone number.

Some even put advertisements on them.

These ads are very attractive.

One picture tells you what the other person does.

Dai Zhou was very excited about this booklet.

He said: "What's the name of this thing Wei Zheng? It's really useful."

"This is called the Yellow Pages! The resources in it are updated every three years!"

"Is that so? What about the advertisement here? Was it made for them by Shengtang Group?"

Dai Zhou asked curiously.

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "No, no, no, no, the advertisements here are charged. How much does one page cost? We sell a booklet like this for ten taels of silver each!"

Wei Zheng said so.

This shocked Dai Zhou. The way Shengtang Group made money was really shocking. It turned out that money could still be made in this way.

In addition to advertisers, they also make money from people.

Although it's not much, only ten taels of silver.

But for such a good book, it shouldn’t be a problem to sell millions of copies a year.

That's tens of millions of dollars.

Although such a small amount of money is nothing to Shengtang Group.

But it’s money after all.

There are many ways this money can be used.

In fact, the big thing is the layout.

The advertising fees for this page must be prohibitively high.

Wei Zheng did not say how much it would cost.

But Dai Zhou should know that there is a lot of money in it.

"Then what's the use of this thing?" Dai Zhou asked.

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "You will understand the wonderful use of this thing when I explain it to you."

"Please say!"

"Listen carefully, there are several main points."

"I am listening."

Let Zhou listen very carefully now.

Listen to Wei Zheng's introduction to the Yellow Pages.

“According to my husband, the Yellow Pages is an authoritative and highly recognized information base media.

From the perspective of the nature of the media, the Yellow Pages are essentially a communication tool and social information database.In addition to its role as a communication medium for finding phone numbers, it is also a social information database and a tool for understanding social information on the economy, culture, life, market, etc.

Advertising in the Yellow Pages is unmatched by other types of mass media.

For example, television, newspapers, and radio are not as good as the Yellow Pages.

Why do you say this? This shows that Yellow Pages is a media with unique advantages in integrated marketing communications.And its target customer group is very accurate. Just like you came to see us today, if you need a plate, you can find it directly in the Yellow Pages.

If you contact a suitable manufacturer directly, the manufacturer will make money.

It can be said to be an overall copy of the information.

With it, a lot can be done.

It plays an important role in marketing communication and has two advantages. First, it covers a wide space and has a long release time.The second release speed is fast and the update is convenient.

It is updated every three years, which is currently the case, and may be updated once a year in the future.

In this case, the accuracy of the information will be guaranteed! "

"I see!"

Dai Zhou finally understood what was going on.

Obviously, he didn't know these things.

If Wei Zheng hadn't said anything, he wouldn't have known anything about it.

I get it now.

So he also knew the reason why Shengtang Group created this Yellow Pages.

"Then this thing is easy to use! It also has a very huge effect. I believe that after having it, His Majesty will be happy." Dai Zhou said.

"Actually, my husband has been saying that this thing takes too much space. He is thinking of integrating it into the Internet and developing a Yellow Pages website. In this case, the information will always be the latest, and the information you see on it will be the latest!"

"Yellow Pages website? What are its benefits? If it has many benefits, then maybe I can ask His Majesty to send someone to participate in the compilation."

Dai Zhou said so.

At this time, Wei Zheng added: "Sir, I said that this Yellow Pages website is a special kind of Internet media, and its benefits mainly include several aspects.

First, increase corporate visibility. Yellow Pages websites are usually an important channel for users to find corporate information and services. By publishing information and advertisements on Yellow Pages websites, you can increase corporate visibility and exposure.

Second, attract potential customers. By publishing information and advertisements on Yellow Pages websites, companies can display their products, services and advantages to potential customers, and attract their attention and purchases.

Third, increase the possibility of your company being searched!By publishing information and advertisements on Yellow Pages websites, you can improve your company's search rankings.

Fourth, it can be quickly and conveniently queried.

Generally speaking, this website can help you find ideal partners from tens of thousands of enterprises and institutions. There are many advanced queries and other query methods on the Yellow Pages website. As long as you know a little bit of information about the company, even just a few phone numbers. Numbers, approximate geographical location, etc. can also be easily found.

The fifth point is that it is low-cost and highly effective. In the future, the cost for people to post various commercial information on it will only be one-tenth of that of the Yellow Pages, or even lower!Because it is timely, ads that are not performing well can be replaced at any time.

The sixth point is that we can also provide practical value-added service content. We will launch other value-added service content that meets user requirements on the Yellow Pages website. These contents are all practical columns related to customers.Internet users can publish some information in relevant columns according to their own needs.Customers can post discounts, recruitment, enrollment, leasing and other information.

To sum up, in the future, the Yellow Pages website will be a very valuable tool for enterprises, which can help enterprises increase their visibility and attract potential customers. At the same time, it can also provide quick and convenient query methods and low-cost and efficient information publishing functions. "

As soon as Wei Zheng talked about this thing, his speaking speed became very fast.

That's the result of what he's been doing here for a while.

Dai Zhou listened in a daze.

It felt like he understood, but it also felt like he didn't understand.

But he knew that Li Shimin must know about this thing called the Yellow Pages next.

He must let Li Shimin see who is selling the plates he wants.

Then you can place an order directly with just one phone call.

And if people go directly there, that would be better.

Therefore, Dai Zhou said again: "Can you lend me this Yellow Pages? I will return it to you later!"

As soon as Dai Zhou's words came out.Wei Zheng said: "Generally speaking, this one is ten taels of silver, but since you are my old friend, I will give you one tael of silver!"

When Wei Zheng said this, Dai Zhou almost fainted.

For the sake of old friends, shouldn't we charge no money?

Why still charge money?
Just charge money, and even talk about discounts and the like.

look down on who.

If Dai Zhou wants to buy it, he can reimburse it.

After all, I bought this thing for Li Shimin.

When the time comes, write it down in the household department, and that's it.

"No need, just ten taels of silver. I'll buy it!"

Dai Zhou said directly.

"Are you sure you don't want a cheaper one?"

"No need. After all, it's the court's money that I spent, and I don't want to owe you any favors. You also know that you, the Shengtang Group, can't owe you any favors."

Dai Zhou said very understandingly.

Shengtang Group owes too many favors, and it will be very inconvenient to do things by myself.

Fortunately, Dai Zhou braked in time.

Otherwise, you will owe another favor.

Wei Zheng smiled and felt that Dai Zhou had become wiser.

"Okay, I'll write a receipt, and then you can take the Yellow Pages back."

"Okay, here are ten taels of silver, keep it!"

Dai Zhou put down ten taels of silver.

And Wei Zheng was not polite. Since he gave the money, he would accept it.

So, he took the money.

Then he wrote a receipt and gave it to Dai Zhou.

Dai Zhou took the Yellow Pages and headed towards Tai Chi Palace.

He thought to himself that Li Shimin would be very happy next.
