Chapter 543 The appearance of counterfeit currency caught people off guard. Li Er wants to invest in the bank and pays 100 million taels first!
On the top of the tenement building, all the core personnel are there.
They were sitting at a long table in Li Min's office.
This is a weekly meeting.
This form of meeting is equivalent to Li Shimin's early dynasty.
However, Li Min talks to everyone more as an equal, letting everyone know what each other is doing.
First, researchers such as Jia Junyuan and Sun Simiao reported the past one by one. Others also stated their needs and what to do next. Li Min also responded with methods and some support. Adding people, money or other support,
He can do everything. This is the strength of the group.
Finally, Su Mei and Wu Jue also told Li Min what they had done recently.
At this time, Li Min proposed.
"As for the fountain pen, I think it can be mass-produced. Next, we will change the writing environment of the entire Datang Dynasty. This time we will start promoting it from the rich. As for the pricing, I want to hear what you decide."
Everyone was silent, thinking about how to respond.
Li Min saw everyone was silent and had other plans.
"Su Mei, tell me, how appropriate do you think it is? Or if you have other opinions, please tell me!"
He asked intentionally to let her take charge.
"Mr. Zili, if it is sold to rich people, they may not use the pen to write, but may just collect it like a treasure. Therefore, in the form of this pen, I thought it could be gilded and decorated with colored glaze.
, so that it can generate some additional value. As for the pricing, it is one thousand taels per piece, and it comes with a ten-year warranty!
If it's sold to ordinary people, I don't think it's particularly necessary. As for the early stage, it's not necessary because our production can't keep up. Well, this is my opinion."
Su Mei said this, she understood the essence of Li Min.
In this period of time alone, she learned some of Li Min's tricks.
In this way, one thousand taels each contains the brand premium brought by Shengtang Group. After calculation, it seems not expensive!
Everyone looked at him with envy.
It's surprising that someone can have such an idea.
That is equivalent to Li Min's view.
"Very good! Is there anyone else?"
Li Min looked at the others.
At this time, Wu Jue said: "Su Mei's words are correct, and I deeply agree. This is called specificity, and the quantity must be controlled. It is best to advertise in newspapers! Only in this way can the price be sold at a high price! If
Yes, you can engrave your name directly on it to prevent speculation! It will make it even more unique!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
It turns out it can still be like this.
The two men's suggestions attracted cheers from everyone.
In the past, ancient people could never come up with this way of thinking.
If it weren't for Li Min's training, then who could be like them?
It can be said that with Ji Ruxue's apprenticeship, and with the support of Su Mei and Wu Jue, Li Min can safely start to work as a hands-off shopkeeper in the future. Their thinking is already close to his own, and their ideas are also excellent!
From now on, it will be enough for the entire Shengtang Group to be managed by three women. He will have more time to deal with other things, such as cannons and other things!
As for Kong Jingting, she is more suitable for medical research.
Therefore, Li Min will not leave management to her.
"Wait a minute, what do Mr. Zili think we are talking about?"
Su Mei asked again.
"Okay, okay, Su Mei and Wu Jue are right, let's go with your plan!"
The situation at this time is very much like the scene of a meeting in the future.
Everyone was very envious of the performance of the two girls.
Everyone hopes to be like them one day.
Ji Ruxue said: "In the future, Mr. Zili will have two more helpers who can share his worries, and the Shengtang Group will definitely become stronger!"
Kong Jingting said:
"That's right. In this way, over time, our Shengtang Group will replace all the major aristocratic families!"
Her eyes were also full of envy.
I just hate that I can't help Li Min solve the problem.
But Li Min said that her position is equally important.
"Okay, if nothing happens, this is the end of it. Is there anything else?"
Seeing that everyone seemed to have no problem, Li Min asked anyway.
"Mr. Zili, I have something going on here!"
It’s Yuan Tiangang!
What could happen to him?
"Oh? Yuan Tiangang, what's the matter with you?"
Yuan Tiangang said:
"Recently, the opening of our Shengtang Bank has caused a huge sensation. But during this period, a big thing happened."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started talking.
"What's up?"
"What sensation?"
"I do not know how?"
…
Li Min asked: "What is it? Let's talk about it."
"Regarding banknotes, there are many counterfeit banknotes on the market now. These counterfeit banknotes are shoddy and shoddy. However, if you don't look carefully or don't understand our banknotes, you may be deceived. It has happened several times.
When something like this happened, someone came to our place with banknotes to exchange for silver, but I sent them back."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
At the same time, everyone was puzzled and worried.
What to do?
Paper money has just begun, and counterfeit ones are already appearing.
It also makes people very angry.
How could there be such a person!
Wu Jue asked: "Mr. Zili didn't put up a sign in front of our door to promote literacy, and it was also reflected in the newspaper. How could anyone believe it?"
Ji Ruxue said:
"It must be because we didn't do enough! We didn't let people recognize it!"
The introduction of banknotes was not so fast that everyone could distinguish between genuine and fake ones.
Of course, this still has a long way to go.
Su Mei said: "I think we succeeded and some people are jealous!"
Sun Simiao said: "I have never seen such a shameless person! Who did such a destructive behavior!"
Yuan Tiangang said: "I can tell from looking at the sky that the fakers are in the northeast!"
"Northeast, isn't that where the Wang family is?"
Someone said.
The Shengtang Group is located in the south of Dongshi, and the Wang family is to the northeast of them.
Ji Ruxue then said: "The Wang family is now occupied by Changsun Wuji. Could it be that he did this?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Su Mei said: "Although Yuan Tiangang can observe the sky and know that it is the Wang family, there is no evidence, so what can be done?"
Wu Jue said: "Yes, we should think of a way now."
At this time, everyone turned their attention to Li Min.
Li Min said that these counterfeit coins will also exist in the future. In addition to letting people identify them, it seems that they can only be dealt with through administrative means.
However, Shengtang Bank was not owned by the imperial court, so this administrative measure was a bit difficult to implement.
But he still had to react.
Minimize the losses of the people.
"Notice it further, divide the newspaper into another page for literacy purposes, and let the people know how to distinguish between true and false. If necessary, you can print some leaflets, add some novel plots, and let people distribute them. These free things, maybe
It can make people accept it faster.”
"Yes! Got it!"
"What about the money of the people who were defrauded?"
"Let them go find the person who sells their banknotes. If that doesn't work, collect their addresses. If possible, we will protect their rights in the future and we can't let them lose too much."
"clear!"
Everyone agreed.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened.
"Mr. Zili, someone is looking for you!"
Zhu Shan walked in and said.
"Who's looking for me?"
"Your mother and your aunt!"
they?
Li Min wondered, Concubine Yang and Empress Changsun had not been here for a long time, but they appeared again today. What did they want to do?
"Okay, I understand. Just let them in. Everyone else, this is the end of today's meeting. Let's disperse! Go and do what you have to do."
"yes!"
Everyone dispersed at once, and Su Mei, Wu Jue, and Kong Jingting left directly.
Ji Ruxue was left behind to serve Li Min.
Then, Queen Changsun and Concubine Yang walked in.
"Zhen'er!"
Concubine Yang shouted as soon as she arrived.
After that, he held Li Min's hand.
Queen Changsun also came over.
"This child has grown a lot taller and looks more and more like his father!"
she said.
Saying this made Li Min feel a little embarrassed.
What are they here for?
In fact, the last time I came here was only half a month ago, right?
How can anyone really grow taller in half a month?
Thinking of this, he looked at himself, had he really grown taller?
He looked at Ji Ruxue.
This woman seems to have become much taller.
He didn't particularly care about anything.
Just said:
"Mother, aunt, come on, come on, sit here!"
He led the two of them to sit on the sofa.
Ji Ruxue enthusiastically served two cups of white-gray drinks dotted with red dots, with some white smoke rising from them.
The two were not polite and drank directly.
As soon as they drank, their expressions brightened.
"Ruxue, what is this hot thing?"
Concubine Yang asked.
Ji Ruxue immediately responded: "This is red date rice and soy milk!"
"Red dates, rice and soy milk?"
"Yes! Made from soybeans, red dates and glutinous rice, mixed with sugar."
Queen Changsun then asked: "This taste is very wonderful. Who came up with this?"
"Mr. Zili came up with it."
Ji Ruxue said.
The two of them turned their attention to Li Min again.
"I didn't expect that these kinds of things could be put together to make such a drink. Min'er has a good idea!"
Ji Ruxue continued: "More than that, this drink has great effects."
"Oh? Tell me!"
Queen Changsun's interest was aroused.
"Soybeans replenish qi, red dates nourish blood, glutinous rice warms the stomach, the taste is warm and smooth, and the jujube aroma is rich and delicious. Drinking one cup every day can keep your face rosy all day long, warm your spleen and stomach, and your hands and feet will no longer be cold. You can also mix different ingredients,
Make soy milk of various colors to make the soy milk more nutritious and more delicious."
The two women were shocked again.
I didn't expect that these three things put together could be so useful.
In this way, Li Min is serious.
"I see. Can you teach us how to do this?"
Concubine Yang said.
Ji Ruxue glanced at Li Min and nodded.
"Of course it's possible! I'll write down the method on paper, and I can ask someone in the palace to do it!"
Concubine Yang took out a piece of paper and said, the method written on it was written with a pen.
"Okay, okay, this girl is really sensible!"
Queen Changsun said happily.
Li Min just stood aside and said nothing. After the three women talked for a while.
He just spoke.
"Mom, aunt, why are you free to come here today?"
He asked this, but actually he still wanted to ask why you came here together again.
The last time we were together was because of Li Shimin, could it be because of him this time?
The two of them stopped, you look at me, I look at you.
Li Min was a little depressed.
Is there anything that I can't say, and you still want me to look at you, and I look at you?
"Auntie, please tell me!"
Li Min asked Queen Changsun directly.
"Why don't I tell you!"
Concubine Yang said.
"Mother, let me tell you!"
But Li Min still wanted Queen Changsun to speak.
Empress Changsun could only say: "Let me do it!"
After that, he continued: "Ming'er... it's like this. As far as we know, your banking and monetary policies have achieved a certain degree of success! They have absorbed a lot of deposits and received a lot of benefits..."
Li Min didn't speak, but looked at Queen Changsun and asked her to continue.
But I had an idea in my mind.
Could it be that Li Shimin also wanted to learn from it?
Let yourself tell him the method?
If this is the case, then, he will refuse.
Don't ask why.
This is a money-making business, why should you create a rival for yourself?
"His Majesty also knows about this matter. He is very concerned about the development of the situation and is very supportive of everything your Shengtang Group has done..."
Queen Changsun didn't say anything when she saw Li Min.
I had no choice but to continue talking.
"He thought that if he could get the help of Shengtang Group and open a national bank together, it would definitely bring about a qualitative change in the economy! So, let me and your mother come over to have a chat with you and see if there is any
There is no such possibility!"
Queen Changsun has finished speaking.
Ji Ruxue was dumbfounded. This Li Shimin was so shameless and extended his tentacles to the Shengtang Group.
But Li Min had his own ideas.
It just so happens that I want to fight against counterfeit currency, so can I borrow Li Shimin's help to get rid of my opponent?
Therefore, Li Shimin's ideas can help him achieve something.
Moreover, if Li Shimin joins him, he can also clear his name.
You can also make your business bigger!
From now on, your own bank will be the only legal bank.
Who dares to compete with him?
No one dares!
Concubine Yang saw that Li Min seemed to be thinking and had not spoken yet.
In order to avoid the embarrassment of Empress Changsun.
She said: "Son, I think if we can work together, we can also rectify the name of Shengtang Group, and our business will be broader in the future. What do you think?"
Li Min didn't want to reply to Queen Changsun's words, but he would always reply to her words.
Concubine Yang's consciousness is quite good.
That being said, that seems to be the case.
"Mother, aunt, it's not impossible to cooperate on this matter!"
When he said this, no one could be beaten to death with a stick, which made the two of them happy.
They probably didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
Queen Changsun then asked: "Then how to cooperate, what do you think?"
Li Min stood up and looked into the distance.
After a long time, he spoke.
“A few main points!”
He spoke very slowly, and then added: "Ruxue, please remember it for me, then compile it into a file and show it to him!"
"clear!"
Ji Ruxue then arrived at Li Min's solid wood desk, picked up the pen, and prepared to start recording.
Sure enough, the personal secretary understood him.
"Yin'er, what is it specifically? Tell me!"
"There are a few main points. If he can agree, then everyone will make money! After all, this is a huge market, but if he doesn't agree, then just pretend that I didn't say anything!"
"Please say!"
"First, if he wants to join, he can, but he must join in the name of the imperial court!"
Queen Changsun thought for a while.
"This is okay! I promise you directly!"
"Okay, secondly, Shengtang Bank is the only bank in Datang, and there is no second one. I hope he understands this!"
This is uniqueness, and only in this way can you make money.
"That's natural."
Queen Changsun seems to have some power.
Both of these points were agreed.
"Third, a contract must be signed. Anyone who breaks the contract will be fined 300 billion taels! And the court can only take 30% of the profit, no matter how much money is paid! All control rights are within the Shengtang Group! The court only has the right to make suggestions.
, supervision rights and dividend rights, regarding such operations, are naturally controlled by Shengtang Group. Because we are the professionals!"
This means that you must absolutely control it.
It’s all about what you say.
They can watch and supervise what he does, but they have no right to interfere.
As for the imperial court, if they are given 30% of the profit, they will naturally have to pay 30% of the money.
In fact, he makes sense when he says 30%.
12% is too little, and 40% is too much. Give them 30% and let them taste the benefits.
After all, this is still Li Shimin's Tang Dynasty, give him some face so that he can do things easily.
Concerning this point, Queen Changsun said nothing.
Because she couldn't decide directly.
When it comes to interests, she cannot be sure.
Li Shimin has to come.
Queen Changsun asked: "If we take 30%, how much will it cost?"
"Not much, only 100 million taels!"
One hundred million taels! Is that just?
Even if it’s the imperial court’s tax revenue for one year, right?
Queen Changsun was shocked.
So, does Li Min’s financial resources exceed hundreds of millions of taels?
It's really unimaginable.
But the amount of the money was all Li Min said, and nothing has been studied.
Even if the court wanted to investigate, it couldn't.
Because they have no real power.
"One hundred million taels, is it too much?"
"No, not much, just right. I can tell you that one hundred million taels can generate 20 million taels of benefits in just one year. The principal and interest will be rolled over, and it will not take five years to fully repay the principal. Next, every year will be
Earned! This is still conservative. If you invest in the name of a bank, the benefits will naturally be divided according to dividends. I, Shengtang Group, know how to keep accounts, so you don’t have to worry about unclear accounts. It should be yours, and I won’t take any of it.
It will be less, because this is for the long term!”
Queen Changsun fell into silence.
This has refreshed her understanding.
She had to talk to Li Shimin about this.
"Ming'er, you've made so much money, can you spend it all?"
Concubine Yang asked.
"What my mother doesn't know is that most of the money earned by the child is directly invested in research. New products are the future of Shengtang Group. If there are no new products, it will be fatal for Shengtang Group. If there is no research, then
What's the use of making more money? I can tell you that more than 90% of the money earned by banks will be invested in research."
He said this to stabilize Li Shimin's heart, and also to let the world know what he had done.
Queen Changsun then asked: "Is there any more?"
"One more thing! This is also the most important point. Establish a special banking law. Counterfeiting of banknotes produced by banks is not allowed. Otherwise, they will be killed and fined an equivalent amount!"
When Li Min said this, Ji Ruxue finally understood his intention.
Isn't this equivalent to directly revolutionizing the Wang family?
The currency they created privately will be held accountable due to legal issues.
In this way, the counterfeit currency issue might be solved? Therefore, she couldn't help but feel how powerful Li Min was.
When Empress Changsun heard this, she said directly and affirmatively:
"I can promise you this!"
"By the way, in addition to newspapers, we also need to make it known to the world and let hundreds of millions of people witness it. If this can be done, let him put a jade seal on it and come over to sign the contract! In this way, we can start operations directly
Yes! Otherwise, I will start it myself!"
Cover it with a jade seal? Sign the contract directly.
Li Min said it so calmly and calmly.
Why does this make it seem like Li Shimin is one level below him?
This may actually be the case.
Empress Changsun showed a troubled expression.
"Let this be the case. If it can come true, it will be a blessing to the people of the world. If it cannot come true, it will have no impact on our Shengtang Group!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Min shrugged.
Yes, all this has nothing to do with yourself.
It was Li Shimin who asked the two women to talk to him. If this is the case, then everything must be done according to his own wishes.
At the same time, he didn't want to talk any more about this issue.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about other things!"
Queen Changsun didn't want it to end so soon.
"Let's talk about this matter again!"
"Auntie, do you have any other suggestions?"
"Can you tell me about the 30% profit?"
She tried to bargain to see if she could get around 50% more.
"No!"
Before Empress Changsun finished speaking, Li Min refused directly.
"ah?"
"I will tell you my opinion, Ruxue. Write down the next words and give them to the aunt, so she can take them back to the palace to show him!"
"clear!"
Then, he said: "First of all, I think about the bank. All operational matters should also be thought about by me. I will pay the most money so that I can have full control. I don't want to be pointed at behind my back."
, that’s why I decided on this ratio. In addition, I produce all anti-counterfeiting currencies. I have all the technology in my hands, as well as the management of personnel. If he doesn’t ask me to do it, he can’t do it.
! Thirty-percent profit is also a great favor to the court!"
As soon as he said this, Ji Ruxue didn't know how to remember it.
Call him Li Shimin directly.
I'm afraid no one in the entire Tang Dynasty is afraid of being called that.
How should she write it?
She sighed and could only call herself a saint.
After Li Min finished speaking, he asked again:
"Ruxue, have you finished writing?"
"It's finished, Mr. Zili, please read it over!"
Li Min took it and took a look and was very satisfied.
"Very good! Here! Auntie, show him this document!"
Queen Changsun took it and took a look. The handwriting was beautiful and the content was very rich.
