Jin Daqian left quickly and came back quickly. Chang 'an City was only about 20 miles wide, and the three people's mansions were basically adjacent. In Li Yin's memory, Cheng Huailiang, Lu Boyan, and Xiao Rui were also loyal to him. This time, he only invited the three of them for the time being. After all, his current business was only shampoo and winery. If there were too many people, it would not be enough. He could only consider other trustworthy people later.
Everyone was present and Li Yin told them his idea. The study in the palace was instantly silent. Jin Daqian and Gao Zhangfang frowned. It was difficult for them to understand Li Yin's behavior of giving money to others. However, Su Mo 'er nodded slightly, as if she understood something.
At first, Cheng Huailiang and the other two didn't think it through, but after they thought it through, their faces lit up. They had long been envious of Li Yin's booming business.
"Don't be happy too early!" How could Li Yin really throw away his copper coins?" If you want to join the winery and paper mill business, you have to pay, send people, and put in effort. I'll take 51% of the sales profit, and the other 49% will be divided among the three of you. As for how you distribute it, it depends on how much money you can come up with.”
"I knew there would be no free lunch!”Lu Boyan crossed his legs." I have to discuss this with my father. I don't have money, but this business is profitable. There shouldn't be a problem.”
Cheng Huailiang and Xiao Rui nodded in agreement.
Li Yin thought that he should not let the fertile water flow to outsiders, which was why he thought of this third brother. It was not that he could not find others to cooperate with. He said,"I'll give you one day. There are many people waiting for me and my partners.”
"No, of course we want to work with you, but we don't have money. We have to tell our family!”Xiao Rui said anxiously.
Cheng Huailiang stood up." I'll go home and discuss it with my father now!”After saying that, he left. When Lu Boyan and Xiao Rui saw him, they also left.
"Your Highness, forgive this old servant for speaking too much. Our business is so prosperous and we are sure to make a profit.”Jin Daqian finally couldn't help but say.
At this moment, Su Mo 'er said,"There is no end to the money in this world. However, a tall tree attracts the wind and a high reputation loses people. Your Highness is probably worried that there will be some people with bad intentions in the future. After all, although Your Highness is a prince, you don't have any real power. If the Crown Prince ascends to the throne in the future, without the protection of the Emperor, he will be a fish on the chopping board. Instead of doing this, it is better to rope in some wealthy families to participate in the business. With common interests, if someone threatens the business of the Prince's mansion, Your Highness doesn't need to do anything. These people will protect Your Highness.”
"Pa, pa, pa!" As soon as Su Mo 'er finished speaking, Li Yin clapped his hands in admiration. This Su Mo' er was not simple. In such an era, it was rare for a woman to have such sensitivity to politics." Butler Jin said that your father was a noble from the previous dynasty. What was his name?”
Su Mo 'er's expression darkened." My father is the former Dali Temple's Young Master Su Chang. He's just an unknown official.”
Li Yin had indeed never heard of this person, but he had raised a good daughter. Li Yin comforted her,"Butler Jin has told me about your matter. In the future, you will participate in the affairs of the Prince's mansion like Butler Jin. It just so happens that Butler Jin lacks an assistant, so you will be wronged and become the assistant butler!”
"Your Highness, Mo 'er is just a woman. How dare she…"
Li Yin waved his hand to interrupt her." What female flow? Male flow? My palace only recognizes talent, not men and women. That's it. Don't decline."”
Li Yin's attitude was firm, so Su Mo 'er could only bow and agree.
"By the way, Butler Jin, return Su Mo 'er's official slave document to her!”When Li Yin left, he told Jin Daqian that an official slave certificate could buy Su Mo 'er's body, but it could not buy her loyalty. Instead of doing this, it was better to use it as a bargaining chip to buy people's hearts. For cheap things, we should show generosity. This way, we could not pay any price and win a good reputation for ourselves.
Cheng Huailiang and the other two didn't let Li Yin down. The next day, they brought news that the three families had agreed to cooperate with Li Yin. Li Yin's business was stable and profitable. Only a fool would be unable to afford it.
As for how the other 49% of the shares were distributed, Li Yin did not care. It was only rumored that the three important officials of the imperial court had a fight after drinking and were scolded by Li Shimin during the court.
" Humans die for wealth, birds die for food. This is an unchanging truth." Li Yin thought as he lay on the master's chair and looked at the three guys with bruises on their faces.
Since the united front was initially formed, Li could not put on airs and personally deliver the agreements to each family. In Cheng Yaojin's house, which was later renamed Cheng Zhijie, Li experienced the tough family style of the Cheng family. Cheng Huailiang became a coward at home, not daring to let out a fart. The whole process was " Father is right "," Father is right "," Father is right!"”。
The fifty-year-old General Cheng Zhijie took the agreement that Li Yin had given him and looked at it for a long time. In the end, he threw it to Cheng Huailiang and only asked Li Yin one sentence," Can I drink the Apricot Blossom Wine as I please in the future?!"”
Li Yin gave him a heavy nod.
At Lu Boyan's father's house, Lu Shang, after the minister of the Ministry of Works signed the contract, he patted his chest and promised Li that he would fully support Li's career. He also looked at Lu Boyan with a very gratified gaze. It was self-evident that Lu Boyan could do something serious besides playing with women. This made him feel very comforted.
In the home of the current prime minister, Xiao Yu, a noble from a noble family, scolded Cheng Zhijie for an hour in front of Li and said that if it was not for Li's face, he would never plan with an ordinary man like Cheng Zhijie. Li knew the arrogant temper of Li Yuan's old minister, so he could only remain silent to avoid getting himself burned.
After a busy day, the matter was finally settled. Li Yin heaved a sigh of relief. The factory could start construction. Li Yin stopped the construction of the equipment. The Lu family was responsible for the construction of the factory and the craftsmen. For a minister of the Ministry of Works, this was too simple. As for the funds, of course, the Cheng family and the Xiao family were responsible. Li Yin, the major shareholder, did not run away and took out 30,000 taels of copper coins.
Everything was ready except for the east wind. After a few days of negotiations, a Chamber of Commerce called Shengtang was officially established under Li Yin's initiative. The four companies were the original shareholders of this Chamber of Commerce. After the Chamber of Commerce was established, Li Yin ordered the construction of factories in the small mountain to begin. The first batch of factories to be built were the winery, paper mill, and printing factory.
The Tang Dynasty was so busy that Li Yin disappeared again. This time, Li Yin told Butler Jin that he needed to go on a long trip. It would take three to four days at the shortest, and ten to half a month at the longest.
Jin Daqian didn't dare to ask too much about where Li was going. However, he found that Li was always mysterious these days. At first, he frowned and pondered, but then he looked extremely happy, as if he was troubled by something, and then he was determined.
Jin Daqian didn't understand why Li Yin would suddenly act like this, but Li Yin understood that he had encountered a big problem at the beginning. Then, this problem brought him a big opportunity to solve a hidden danger in his heart. What if the secret of the ancient well was discovered?
