Li Ke's mansion.
Zhangsun Zhexian returned.
Zhangsun Wuji also arrived.
Not long after the father and daughter arrived, the Fang clan brothers also brought Fang Xuanling.
In Li Ke's study, Li Ke sat on the main seat, Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling sat on the side.
As for Zhangsun Zhexian and the Fang brothers, they could only stand behind their elders.
"Since the two of you have come personally, then we won't be lying. If you have any questions, just ask them directly.”
Li Ke said indifferently.
"Boss Li, how much salt do you have?"
Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling looked at each other and nodded before asking questions.
The two of them were like old foxes. They were very shrewd and asked whatever they wanted.
"A massive amount."
"It's even more than the national edible salt now.”
Li Ke said indifferently.
She felt that it was difficult to describe a sea of words, so she added another sentence.
As expected, Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling's expressions changed slightly after Li Ke said the last sentence.
It was more than the edible salt in the entire country, which meant that this business was a ruthless and endless wealth that could be enjoyed by future generations.
"How much is the price?"
Fang Xuanling asked.
The price was a very important issue.
If it was too expensive, they would lose a lot of customers.
However, if the quality was really good, it would not be a problem to sell it at a higher price.
However, looking at the fine salt and its exquisite workmanship, one could tell at a glance that it was expensive.
"The price will be based on the current market price.”
Li Ke thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
Since he wanted to do business, he had to do a monopoly business.
The first step of a monopoly business was to not sell it at a high price.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to attract more customers.
The Ice and Snow World and Fragrance Beauty in front of Li Ke were like this. The price made it affordable for more people.
Of course, the price of the Fragrance Beauty was a little expensive, but the more expensive a woman's item was, the better it sold.
"Market price?"
"Such good salt is actually sold at market price?”
Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling thought they had heard wrongly.
Such good salt would at least increase the price by two or three times, right?
However, it was actually the same price as the current market price of coarse salt!
After receiving Li Ke's nod, the two of them were still in a state of shock.
However, they quickly recovered and resumed their negotiations.
"Boss Li, you should know that with your status, it's impossible for you to do a salt business, so we have to take more profits.”
Zhangsun Wuji said in a deep voice.
Now that Li Ke and the Emperor had broken off their father-son relationship, the Emperor would definitely not let Li Ke do salt business.
Unless Li Ke admitted his mistake and wanted to restore his relationship with the Emperor. In this case, there might be a chance for Li Ke to sell salt.
Otherwise, other than relying on the relationship between the court officials, there was no other possibility.
"I can at most give you 10% more.”
"However, for the salt merchant group, the guards will be temporarily provided by your two families.”
Li Ke thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
Now that he did not have any manpower, it was troublesome.
Selling salt was different from selling ice cubes and perfumes. It required a lot of strength.
Apart from protecting himself, Dragon One and Dragon Seven were already at their limit by watching over the ice and snow and the fragrant grass beauty.
His business was doing too fast, and his foundation had yet to catch up. He had to recruit some guards as soon as possible.
"Ten percent?"
Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling exchanged glances.
Obviously, both of them felt that this 10% was a little too little.
"If you think it's too little, I can stop doing this business.”
Li Ke saw through their thoughts and immediately said in a deep voice.
50% of the profits from the business had already been distributed. Any more would exceed his bottom line.
Rather than that, it would be better not to earn any money. It would not be too late to start after he had his own guards.
"Hahaha, I'm just joking. 25% is already quite a lot.”
Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling immediately laughed.
Although 25% wasn't a lot, it was still a huge figure for a nationwide business.
Most importantly, such a tiny amount of edible salt would definitely replace the salt sold by the five surnames, seven surnames, and the royal family in the future.
Monopoly industries were the most profitable. In the future, they could raise the price appropriately. It was definitely a huge profit.
"That's good."
"But let me say this first. If you need money or share to open up the salt road, you can pay for it yourself. Don't look for me.”
Li Ke said in a deep voice.
These two people could be said to be among the highest echelons of the Great Tang.
However, the sale of salt was in Li Er's hands, and Li Er's palace treasury was in charge of everything.
The two of them had to go through a lot of procedures to open this path. Li Ke did not know if they could rely on their official positions to open this path.
However, regardless of whether he knew it or not, he had to cut off this possibility in advance.
"Hahaha, Boss Li is looking down on the two of us.”
"Don't worry. Leave this matter to the two of us.”
Zhangsun Wuji patted his chest and said loudly.
They all felt that if they couldn't handle such a small matter well, the power in their hands would be wasted.
Next.
The three parties signed the agreement.
It was the contract of the future.
Li Ke looked at the contract in his hand and could not help but be stunned.
This agreement couldn't be the Great Tang's first, right?
"Boss Li, I wonder if you can satisfy my curiosity.”
Fang Xuanling and the others did not leave. They sat down and chatted for a while.
"Please speak."
Li Ke asked Fang Xuanling curiously.
"May I ask, where did you get this fine salt?”
"Of course, this old master won't ask about secrets.”
Fang Xuanling chuckled.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhangsun Wuji and the others looked at Li Ke.
Zhangsun Zhexian and the other juniors were also incomparably curious. They were curious where Li Ke had gotten his hands on such fine salt. Moreover, it was actually more than the edible salt he had now.
If it wasn't for the Icy Snow World and Fragrance Beauty, the things they sold were things that ordinary people had never seen before. Zhangsun Wuji and the others wouldn't have believed Li Ke directly.
"This is the salt mountain in the eastern suburbs.”
Li Ke said indifferently.
This was no secret. After a while, they would find out that he had transported the mineral salt from the salt mountain in the eastern suburbs.
"Which salt mountain in the eastern suburbs?"
The Fang brothers exclaimed.
Fang Xuanling was puzzled at first, but he quickly responded.
The salt mountain in the eastern suburbs was the one that Fang Yizhi and his brother did not give to Li Ke.
After buying a whole 30,000 yuan, the whole family was overjoyed and even celebrated that night.
And now, he discovered that the salt mountain in the eastern suburbs was the raw material for Li Ke to make such exquisite fine salt?
The salt mountain, which was estimated to be worth millions or tens of millions, was sold by the father and son for only 30,000 yuan?!
"What's wrong?"
Li Ke looked at Fang Xuanling and his son in confusion.
The three of them looked like they were about to cry, which was very puzzling.
Similarly, Zhangsun Wuji and Zhangsun Zhexian also looked at Fang Xuanling and his son in confusion.
"The salt mountain you mentioned is mine!”
"Heavens, how can my salt mountain have such fine salt?？”
Fang Xuanling cried.
He felt like vomiting blood.
If he did not sell the salt mountain to Li Ke, how could Fang clan only get a twenty-five percent share?
