Li Tian pondered for a moment and asked,"
"Uncle Zong, your eyes are sharp. You actually know that I can afford to pay for Brother Xuande…"
"But Brother Xuande's reputation is indeed a model for both loyalty and filial piety.”
"If we were to injure them so easily, I'm afraid it would affect the morale of the scholars who serve the Imperial Court.”
"Uncle Zong, please give me some pointers.”
"It's best if we pay obediently, but outsiders don't know that I've paid. It doesn't matter even if we pay more.”
"I know that this presumptuous request may be very difficult…but this humble servant is definitely not doing it for personal gain.”
Liu Yu stood up.
He paced back and forth for a while, staring at Li Tian carefully.
She even went behind him to observe his expression and movements.
After a long time, Liu Yu sighed,"
"It's not that there's no way, but do you dare to swear?”
"The words that I will say later will come out of my mouth and enter your ears.”
Li Tian was shocked.
Seeming to have guessed it, he quickly swore,"
"If I, Li Tian, reveal what Uncle Zong will say later, my reputation will be ruined.”
He didn't say anything about the price of death. Instead, he said that his reputation would be ruined.
But it was the wording of this oath.
It actually made Liu Yu's heart ache.
This was also an existence who knew the magical use of names, or perhaps more important than life.
Everyone was on the same path!
People who cherish fame should be moved by fame.
On the contrary.
If Li Tian had said something like " I'll be struck by lightning and die a horrible death "...
Perhaps Liu Yu would not care.
Liu Yu was moved.
Then he whispered,"
"Then give me eight million."
"I'll help you think of another way to ask His Majesty for a special pardon for the money needed to repair the palace!”
Li Tian was momentarily stunned.
Then, he instantly understood.
If he gave money and lost his reputation.
Then he would only need to pay six million.
If you want to give money, but don't let outsiders know that you gave money.
In terms of money, you will lose even more!
You have to pay eight million!
Li Tian immediately made a decision and said sincerely,"
"Thank you Uncle Zong for your guidance, I'm willing to pay this eight million!”
The extra two million was the emperor's hush money!
After negotiating a gentleman's agreement with Liu Yu, Li Tian went to look for Zhang Liang that night.
He asked him to settle the accounts.
All the dividends earned from selling books and papers during this period of time were withdrawn.
Eight million yuan weighed 20 tons, and it would take several ox carts to carry.
Fortunately, it was a short-distance transaction in Luo Yang City.
The transportation cost was almost negligible.
"Sir, in the past 20 days, I've done the accounting statistics here.”
"The Records of Filial Piety has sold more than 50,000 volumes.”
"Among them, the third volume about the deeds of Duke Xuande sold the best, selling 26,000 volumes.”
"I'll give you a hundred yuan for each roll, plus the bonus from selling the white paper alone, a total of six million yuan.”
"In addition, there's still five million yuan here that you exchanged with gold cakes.”
Zhang Liang personally brought a team of workers to settle the accounts with Li Tian.
He had earned five to six million yuan in the first month by selling a set of books!
The business of selling knowledge was really profitable!
However, Li Tian knew that.
In the future, the gross profit margin of this business would definitely drop rapidly.
The first set of books could be sold at a high price because they had earned extra profits from eating crabs.
Moreover, the moment it was released, it was personally promoted by the ministerial-level leaders.
Perhaps in the second month, after Er Ya and The Analects of Confucius were engraved.
The Zhen family's monthly book profit dividends would fall to three to four million yuan.
In a few months, it would drop to one or two million.
Then, it gradually flowed.
Li Tian accepted the money and comforted Zhang Liang,"
"Well done. I also hope that everyone can continue to work together for a long time.”
"As long as you take care of yourself, there will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future.”
Zhang Liang was very sensible. He bowed and cupped his hands, saying,
"Please rest assured, sir. I have already sent a secret letter to my father regarding the business in Luoyang.”
"My father has also reported it to Madam and Young Master. They are very supportive of the current cooperation method and will definitely treat Mr. Li and County Lieutenant Liu well.”
Li Tian nodded and said,"
"That's good. However, don't call me County Lieutenant Liu in the future. You have to call me County Magistrate Liu.”
Then, he took the money and left.
Business matters.
It would be best if he could deal with it well.
He was like an investor who invested in technology.
He didn't know how to operate, nor did he have any channels.
Therefore, it was best to share the profits with others.
As the saying goes, investors don't operate, and operators don't invest.
If he had both, he could only earn a small amount of money, earn hard-earned money, or die.
The reason why the failure rate of starting a business could reach more than 99%, the curse that even Wang Sicong could not escape in the future, was because of this core reason.
If you invested money and had to manage it yourself, you would become a player in the game and affect your thinking and vision.
If you make mistakes in your business, your mentality will affect your investment decisions.
They influenced each other and worried about their gains and losses every day.
In the end, he put all his eggs in one basket and became hot-blooded.
As a result, he could not turn over a new leaf for years or even decades.
Therefore, the assets of the rich were often handed over to someone to manage.
Even Ali's investor was someone else.
However, those who invested in Ali would never participate in its operations.
……
After getting the money.
Li Tian silently counted the assets under his control.
Previously, when he entered the capital, Liu Bei had sold seventy to eighty warhorses.
Including the money he had left with Li Tian, it was worth more than 20 million.
Excluding the various expenses he had spent in Luoyang these days.
Together with Zhang Liang's 6 million, the total was close to 30 million.
Tomorrow, he would buy an official position and a name for Liu Bei.
After spending 8 million, he would have 21 million left.
However, Li Tian had asked Zhang Liang for 5 million copper coins, not 2 million.
In other words, he planned to spend another three million in the next few days.
That left him with 18 million.
Li Tian didn't dare to go back alone because he had too much money with him.
He had specially invited Guan Yu to come along and immediately escorted the ox-cart convoy that was transporting the money.
Guan Yu saw everything.
He couldn't help but ask curiously,"
"Boya, did you use the extra three million for something else? I'm not asking you, I'm just asking.”
