"Nephew Gu, you have good taste!”
Zhu Gaojin looked at Zhu Zhanji in surprise and praised him. He felt that this kid had a bright future.
No one knew the value of hotpot better than him.
From nobles to ordinary people, everyone could afford it. It was very universal.
If the name 'spread from the Imperial Palace' was added, it would undoubtedly cause a craze, and the public would follow suit.
"Since Nephew Gu mentioned this, there's something I want to tell you.”
Zhu Gaojin's hands did not stop moving, and neither did his mouth.
Hearing this, Zhu Di and the others only glanced at him and continued to cook the hotpot while waiting for him to continue.
You talk, we eat, we don't waste time.
“……”
Fine, I didn't expect the whole family to be gluttons.
Zhu Gaojin shook his head and said,""I plan to establish a trading company in the name of the royal family.”
"The scope of operations includes the Northern Desert, Western Region, Southeast Asia, East Ocean, and other places.”
"Trade with the desert, mainly with food, cloth, and salt, in exchange for their horses, cattle, and sheep.”
"Trade with the people of the Western Regions, mainly tea and silk, in exchange for their jewelry and minerals.”
"Trade with the Nanyang people, mainly porcelain and tea leaves, in exchange for their spices and other items.”
"As for trading with the Japanese, we'll mainly use cannons and muskets to make them obediently give us their food and treasures.”
After briefly expressing his thoughts, Zhu Gaojin glanced at them and said indifferently,""How about it? Do you want to invest in the company and work with me?”
"This old man doesn't need to invest. He can get 20% of the shares. If you want to join, you can only get 10% each.”
"However, I'll say this first. You're just investors. Without my approval, you have no right to interfere in the management.”
Blood brothers, clear accounts!
Zhu Gaojin did not play around and directly said some words on the surface.
He didn't want to make a fool of himself when he earned money in the future.
Moreover, the trading company was only the first step. His plan was not just that.
However, money was the foundation of everything. Only with money could he carry out other plans.
……
"Ahem, fourth uncle, you're not joking, right?？”
After hearing Zhu Gaojin's words, Zhu Zhanji choked. He was dumbfounded and his face was filled with shock.
She was once again shocked by her fourth uncle's courage.
At the same time, he felt a little disappointed and inferior. Although the age difference was not big, why did he feel like he was trash?？
Well, it was mainly because Fourth Uncle was too outstanding. Actually, he could still do it.
Zhu Zhanji comforted himself as he looked up at Zhu Di, Fatty Zhu, Second Brother, and Third Brother.
At this moment, the few of them frowned slightly, as if they were thinking about something. After noticing Zhu Zhanji's gaze, they glanced at him in tacit understanding.
Young people just couldn't keep their cool.
Zhu Gaojin also smiled and didn't answer Zhu Zhanji's words. He enjoyed the food and waited for the boss's reply.
Actually, it was mainly because of the old man's attitude.
After all, some of the goods he mentioned were prohibited. For example, salt was not enough for their own people. Private sales were not allowed.
If the old man didn't nod, it wouldn't be good to go against him.
"Fourth Bro, your idea is really unconstrained and unexpected. But I have to say, it's indeed interesting.”
After pondering for a moment, Fatty Zhu broke the silence." If it's really as you said, this is a great thing.”
"It's just that there are some things that you have to take it easy. Don't be in a hurry to eat until you're fat.”
As he spoke, Fatty Zhu gave Zhu Gaojin a look and pouted slightly in Zhu Di's direction.
He looked silly and cute.
Obviously, he was reminding Zhu Gaojin not to go overboard and anger the old man.
Seeing that Boss had expressed his stance, Second Brother and Third Brother were unwilling to fall behind.
The two of them looked at each other and instantly reached a tacit understanding.
"Fourth Brother's suggestion is not bad, I'm very interested. Just invest, don't do anything and just sit back and wait for the money to be split.
As long as Father agrees, I'll do it together!”
"Hehe, me too. We are brothers in war, and we are brothers in battle. I will definitely support you, Fourth Sister!”
You bastard.
The two of them were not stupid. They knew that they could definitely make a lot of money.
Doing business in the name of the royal family was such a good idea. They had never thought of it before.
As the three brothers expressed their stance, everyone subconsciously looked at Zhu Di, waiting for the old man's attitude.
" Are you done?!"
After swallowing the last piece of meat on the plate, Zhu Di put down his chopsticks and glanced at them. His expression had not changed from the beginning.
He was calm, but he could not be ignored. He displayed the demeanor of a king.
"I roughly understand what Fourth Brother said. We should adapt to the local conditions and exchange with the barbarians in the four directions so that all the wealth in the world will enter our Great Ming.”
Zhu Di's gaze was deep, and he said calmly,""There are some things that we have but they don't. They don't care about what we don't have.”
"Everyone takes what they need. This business can indeed be done.”
"But just like what Fourth Bro said, we have to use cannons and handguns to deal with those ungrateful bastards.”
These words undoubtedly showed Zhu Di's attitude.
He wasn't stupid, so he could naturally see the huge benefits hidden in this matter.
"Fourth brother, you can use the name of the imperial family!”
Looking at Zhu Gaojin, Zhu Di smiled."But 20% is not enough. It's too little. At least 30%."”
"Moreover, there are some things that you have to pay attention to.”
“……”
Eldest, Second, Third, and Zhu Zhanji were all speechless.
So, the old man just wanted to increase the money!
"Alright, 30% for 30%. I'll pay attention to my limits.”
Zhu Gaojin nodded nonchalantly. To be honest, he was not interested in money at all. He just wanted to do something.
What he enjoyed was the process of doing things and the sense of accomplishment at the end.
"Alright, the old man has agreed. Let's talk about the investment…"
At the table, the three generations of Old Zhu's family gathered in a circle and spoke one after another. The atmosphere was indescribably harmonious!
