This was the first time that Li Qi met Xiaoyu after he came back. In fact, Xiaoyu had wanted to see Li Qi for a long time, but was stopped by Wu Furong. Li Qi had just come back, so naturally he had to spend time with his wife and children, and he also had many official matters to attend to.
So Wu Furong asked Xiaoyu to go later. Unexpectedly, Li Qi suddenly arrived today, which left Xiaoyu a little overwhelmed. Just as he was about to walk out and give his seat to Li Qi, Li Qi pointed his hand and said: "You just sit down."
There."
Xiaoyu was stunned and said hurriedly: "How can this happen? This is your seat, big brother."
Li Qi chuckled: "It used to be mine, but now it's yours. I don't have time to take care of the Zuixianju Group now. I just want to show my name. This seat is the most suitable for you to sit in."
After hearing this, Xiaoyu still felt a little embarrassed.
Li Qi directly pulled out the chair in front of the desk, sat down, and said with a smile: "Although I am in name only, you still have to listen to what I say."
"yes."
Seeing Li Qi sitting down, Xiaoyu had no choice but to be respectful and refuse to obey. She first helped Li Qi pour a cup of hot tea, and then sat on the chairman's seat.
Li Qi took a sip of tea and praised: "Xiaoyu, when I came back this time, both Uncle Wu and Qiniang were full of praise for you. It shows that you have grown a lot in the past two years. I feel so good about it."
very happy."
Xiaoyu said modestly: "Uncle Wu and Sister Qi'er are very commendable. Xiaoyu still has many things to learn from elder brother."
"There is very little I can teach you. Now you should learn experience from business and constantly make breakthroughs on yourself. It is already extraordinary that you have achieved such an achievement at such a young age. In time, you will definitely be able to surpass me.
"
Li Qi has always admired Xiaoyu. Although Xiaoyu is relatively reserved and low-key. She is not as domineering and talented as Zhang Chuner, but Xiaoyu works very hard and has a good grasp of details. This is also her reason.
Compared with Zhang Chun'er, his advantages are not far behind.
Xiaoyu blushed and said: "Brother, thank you. If Xiaoyu can learn from Brother Li, Xiaoyu will be satisfied."
"You are just a little too modest." Li Qi smiled and shook his head. Then he said, "Anan, isn't he here?"
Xiaoyu unconsciously curled her lips and said: "Ever since they came back from Yanei, Anan has been playing with them in the bar every day, and he comes here whenever he has time. I have asked him to come here to help several times, but he always pushes me left and right.
.”
Li Qidao: "That boy Anan has this kind of character. Being a security captain is the best fit for him. If you ask him to come here, he will be suffocated to death. But I will talk to him and ask him to pay attention. Don't always be like this."
Go crazy with Yanei and the others, none of those guys are good."
The little jade chicken nodded a few times like pecking at rice.
Li Qi put down his tea cup and asked seriously: "How has the business been in the past year?"
When talking about business, Xiaoyu subconsciously sat up straight and put away her little womanly appearance. She said seriously: "Our business in Zuixianju has returned to the right track, and the external debts have been paid off long ago, but compared to Jin Bing
Before going south, there wasn't much growth." After saying this, there was a look of guilt on her face.
Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "I can't blame you. In fact, it has exceeded my expectations. When the Jin soldiers went south, they had a devastating blow to the economy of the Song Dynasty, especially Tokyo Bianliang. Moreover, since the emperor came to the throne, he advocated
Anti-corruption, the rich in Tokyo are also slowly reorganizing. Our Zuixianju is mainly about food, which also has a very big impact on our business. You can get our business back on track within two years. You have already done it.
It's very good. Also, don't forget, we still have a big weapon that we haven't used yet."
Xiaoyu said: "Brother, are you referring to glass?"
Li Qi nodded and said, "How is the glass production situation now?"
Xiaoyu said: "It has been expanded five times, and we have also stocked up a large amount of glass according to Big Brother's instructions."
Li Qi nodded repeatedly: "Very good, very good. How much has the price of glass outside increased now?"
Xiaoyu said: "The price of glass has more than doubled. As for glass mirrors, magnifying glasses and glasses, they are already so expensive that few people in the world can afford them."
"Really? That's good, that's good."
Li Qi rubbed his chin with a sinister smile on his face.
Xiaoyu said doubtfully: "But brother, Xiaoyu has never understood this. Before you went to the war, you told Sister Qi'er not to rush to sell the glass mirrors and glasses once they came out, and you also let it out, saying that our glass is very precious.
, we can only make a little bit every year, and the first batch of fifty pairs of glasses and ten glass mirrors are all given away. I still understand that the elder brother's move is just to sell it at a good price, but now the price is already very high.
There are only a few people in the world who can afford it. No matter how good our glass is, if others cannot afford it, how can we make money?"
Li Qi explained: "Xiaoyu, this glass is not the same as instant noodles or cans. It is a multi-purpose tool. To be a little exaggerated, it can create a new era. In this case, of course we cannot treat instant noodles like
You must treat it with caution.
I have long said that our goal in Zuixianju can no longer be limited to the country. It is just to make money. In fact, as long as the money is enough, it will be enough. No matter how much money we have, it will be placed there. We will not bring it with us in life or death.
, so we should set our sights on the world, and we should consider the interests of the country while making money."
Xiaoyu was half-informed and looked at Li Qi in confusion.
Li Qi continued: "As far as the production of glass is concerned, the price is indeed ridiculously high, but this is what I want. I deliberately raised the price for one purpose, which is to introduce foreign funds. Yes, now
The price is difficult for private individuals to afford, but for a country, even if it is not too expensive, to put it simply, this price is set for neighboring countries."
Xiaoyu snorted and said, "Brother raises the price on purpose, just for export?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "That's right. I believe you have realized the beauty of this glass mirror now. As for the glasses, they are even more amazing, so the surrounding countries will definitely rush to buy them back for their royal families or nobles to enjoy.
, they are our big customers. If we sell at regular prices from the beginning, although this can bring us a lot of wealth, it will be a loss to the country. Anyway, this good thing will be sold one day earlier and one day later.
, there is not much difference, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the whole country to be saturated within ten years.
So this money can be said to have been put in our pockets, it depends on when we go to get it. If this is the case, then why should we rush for a while, first use the output to raise the price, and then kill those foreign businessmen, and wait until
We have almost finished exporting it, and we will slowly lower the price of glass and start popularizing it across the country."
Xiaoyu nodded thoughtfully, and after a moment, she said: "Brother, you are really good at predicting things. Last year during the Chinese New Year, Sister Qi'er already opened a glass exhibition for those foreign envoys and businessmen, but
They didn't know about glass in advance, so they didn't prepare too much money at that time. Sister Qi'er also told them that mass production of glass had not started at that time, but they all made up their minds that they would make large quantities during the Chinese New Year this year.
When they bought glass back home, I'm afraid they didn't expect the price of glass to rise so fast."
Li Qi chuckled, "What matters in business is your willingness and your willingness to do so. They don't have to buy it if they think it's too expensive." When he said this, he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, what's the price of bronze mirrors outside?"
?”
Xiaoyu was stunned and said: "Since the appearance of glass mirrors, the price of bronze mirrors has dropped very fast. Then Sister Qi'er released news that glass mirrors will be mass-produced soon, which caused the price of bronze mirrors to plummet even more.
, Our glass mirrors are countless times better than those bronze mirrors, so the rich are waiting for the mass production of glass mirrors and do not buy bronze mirrors at all. In this year, people come to inquire about glass mirrors almost every day.
matter."
Li Qi pondered: "The reason why coins were scarce at the beginning was because the price of copper was higher than coins, and the price of copper has remained high. Bronze mirrors are a key reason. Now that the copper mirror market is gradually disappearing, the price of copper should also be
Then it dropped a lot, right?”
Xiaoyu nodded and said: "Yes, the price of copper has been falling continuously in the past year. This is not only related to the bronze mirrors, but also the smelting plant has smelted some new iron wares, which has also had a big impact on the copper wares.
As soon as the emperor came to the throne, a new batch of copper coins was still being made, so coins became somewhat scarce. In addition, goods from the south of the Yangtze River began to go to Bianliang. Compared with when the Jin soldiers just retreated, prices have
It has dropped by three times. Relatively speaking, the price of coins has also increased a lot. Now you can buy two small cakes for one penny outside."
The corners of Li Qi's mouth raised slightly and he said: "In this way, we can cheat those foreign businessmen a lot of money again."
Xiaoyu said: "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Whether it is a bronze mirror or a new ironware, it has nothing to do with gold and silver, so the price of gold and silver in our Song Dynasty is relatively stable. If gold and silver are regarded as goods,
If so, the rise in copper coins heralds the depreciation of gold and silver. Those foreign merchants usually bring gold and silver, so as long as the prices of our glass are all priced according to our Song Dynasty currency, then we will make another profit invisibly.
It’s a big sum, and now there are only a few months left before the end of the year, so the price of the glass will go up.”
Xiaoyu was surprised: "Is it still going up?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Don't you think the money is too little? Isn't it normal for prices to increase during the New Year? At least I have to earn back the year-end bonuses of my Zuixianju employees."
Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Yes, I know what to do."
Li Qi chuckled and said: "Whether we can let Glass go to the world in a very noble manner depends on closing this year. Let the people below work harder. When Glass makes money, I will pay them three times, no, five times.
Bonus." He spread his fingers and smiled triumphantly.
