I believe Li Qi's move has perfectly explained the seven-character mantra of being bold, careful, and thick-skinned.
"Why do you always look at me?"
In the car, Mrs. Qin really couldn't stand Li Qi's unabashed gaze, and couldn't help but glared at Li Qi with shame and anger.
Li Qi said unjustly: "There are only two of you and me in this car. If I don't look at you, I will look at who is going. Do you think I want it?"
"You don't know how to look out the window."
Is this what a businessman should do if the beauty is not looking at her and sticking her head out to blow the cold wind? Li Qi said directly: "It's cold."
"...!"
Mrs. Qin was speechless for a while, and simply turned her head away from the window, leaving Li Qi with a shiny black back.
Wow! There’s no need to be so stunning. Li Qi suddenly found that the back of Mrs. Qin’s head was also very beautiful today, even better than the front, especially the hairpin on her bun. He chuckled: “Madam, this hairpin is really tailor-made for you. It’s made.”
It turns out that the hosta in Mrs. Qin's hair was the one given by Li Qi that day.
A blush appeared on Mrs. Qin's face, and she looked out the window, pretending that she didn't hear anything.
Li Qi was not annoyed when his wife ignored him, and continued: "By the way, madam, is Uncle Wang in good health?"
Someone else said hello to your parents. This time Mrs. Qin had to answer, otherwise it would be too rude and said: "For your sake, daddy is in very good health." As she said that, she suddenly turned around and said seriously. : "Oh, my dad may not go to Taishi Academy." There was a bit of joy in her voice, and it was obvious that she didn't want Wang Zhongling to fall into the tiger's den again.
Li Qi opened his eyes and said, "Seriously?"
Mrs. Qin nodded and said, "No one in my family wants my father to get involved in this fight again."
Li Qi asked suspiciously: "Uncle Wang asked you to tell me this?"
Mrs. Qin shook her head and said: "But that's what I heard from my father, so I also hope you can respect what father said." She was inoculating Li Qi, after all, Li Qi's mouth was very talkative. Oh, she was really afraid that Wang Zhongling would be deceived by Li Qi again.
Li Qi was doubtful and said truthfully: "If this is really the case, of course I won't force it. But I have to ask Uncle Wang personally."
"up to you."
Mrs. Qin said and said very puzzledly: "Why do you insist on looking for my father? There are so many people in the world. With your ability, you shouldn't be able to find anyone?"
Li Qi said sternly: "Because Uncle Wang is one of the few people I can completely trust in my heart. This concerns me personally and the entire Song Dynasty. I must handle it carefully and try to be as perfect as possible."
Mrs. Qin sighed and said, "I just hope you can respect my father's wishes."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Of course, but you promise me to write a story---?"
Mrs. Qin said: "I have already promised you this, and naturally I will not go back on it. I wonder what story you want to write."
"This---I'm still working on it. Let's wait until after the New Year." Li Qi suddenly handed over the teapot and said, "Are you thirsty?"
When Mrs. Qin saw the teapot, she was so angry that her orifices were filled with smoke. She said without thinking, "I won't drink it."
...
...
After half an hour of walking, Li Qi and Mrs. Qin arrived at the workshop in Beicheng. Now it has become an industrial workshop. There are countless large and small workshops. Even the largest private paper mill and printing factory in Bianliang, Tokyo today. Here, of course, these two workshops are owned by Zuixianju, but Cai Jing also owns a lot of shares in them.
The largest workshop among them is the glass workshop. There is no way. Who makes glass so profitable?
When we came inside, we saw that there were lights and colorful decorations everywhere, red lanterns were hung, and it was very lively.
It turns out that starting today, the craftsmen here also have their long vacation. Of course, Li Qi couldn't favor one over the other, so he also prepared a reunion dinner for them, because the workers here are the same as the bartenders in Zuixianju. They all come from all over the world, so they also
I like to get everyone together to welcome the new year.
Although Mrs. Qin often went to Zuixianju to visit the old guys on New Year's Eve, this was her first time back here, and most of the employees here were new faces to her, so they didn't seem as good as in Zuixianju.
Be able to let go.
"The proprietor is here."
"Everyone, come out quickly. The proprietor and his wife are here to visit us."
"Is this proprietress's wife a fairy?"
.......
When the employees saw Li Qi, they shouted excitedly.
Madam of the proprietor? Madam Qin’s expression changed, two cold lights shot out, and she said: “What did they call me?”
You are indeed my employee, you are so good! Li Qi deceived: "They are calling me proprietor - proprietor - madam. After all, my reputation here is much higher than yours, so they call me Liang."
I'll call you once, it's reasonable."
How could Mrs. Qin be fooled this time? She had heard this with her own ears, but with so many people shouting at the same time, she didn't know how to stop her. She could only pretend to be dumbfounded, nodded lightly, and said,
But I was murmuring in my heart, didn’t this person intentionally let them call him that?
After a while, Zheng Quan walked out quickly from the back room and saluted: "Zheng Quan has met the proprietor and the proprietor's wife." He didn't know much about the relationship between Li Qi and Mrs. Qin. Now everyone who met him was
She shouted like this, but Mrs. Qin didn't stop her, so she also shouted like this.
"this---!"
Li Qi didn't know how to deceive him this time.
Mrs. Qin's eyebrows suddenly stood up and she shouted angrily: "Master Zheng, what are you shouting about?"
Now that we are one on one, the situation is completely different.
"ah?"
Zheng Quan looked at Mrs. Qin in astonishment and was stunned for a moment.
Li Qi hurriedly stood up to smooth things over and said, "Master Zheng, you must have had a few too many drinks just now." As he said that, he leaned over and whispered: "Madam is thin-skinned, you have to be more reserved in the future, you know?
Please apologize to Madam."
Zheng Quan was stunned and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I have offended Madam, please forgive me."
Mrs. Qin waved her hand gently and said, "You just need to be more careful in the future."
Li Qi glanced at Madam and said with great dissatisfaction: "Madam, this is obviously you taking advantage. I'm not even angry. Why are you angry? It's New Year's Eve. Stop being so stinky and smile."
Mrs. Qin was so angry that she could still laugh. She turned her head and ignored Li Qi.
"Forget it, forget it, I almost forgot that you look uglier when you smile than when you cry." Li Qi didn't care and waved his hand forward. Zheng Quan understood the idea and said: "My lord and madam, please come this way."
Mrs. Qin wished she could just kick him over, he wasn't such a shabby person.
The three of them came inside, and Li Qi kept waving to the employees below.
After a while, a waiter came over with a tray of products, and saw chalk, pencils, and some paper on it.
The pencil that attracted Li Qi's attention the most was naturally the pencil. He picked it up and looked at it. It was not the same as the pencils of later generations. It was a cylinder, but had two toes at the top and bottom. The middle was thicker, but it was quite easy to pick up. He asked:
"What is this thing made of?"
It must be coal, you know that without asking.
Zheng Quandao: "Sir, the outside is made of sawdust rolled up from the top of the wood."
"I see."
Li Qi nodded and said: "Using waste, very good. Very good. Remember, the cost of this transaction must be low, because the people who will face this transaction will be those poor children who have no money to buy brushes.
If our pencils were as expensive as brushes, there would be no need to exist. The price of pencils must not exceed 30% of the price of brushes, so you must control costs."
Mrs. Qin glanced at the pencil and suddenly said: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this."
It was a rare occasion for Mrs. Qin to express her opinion. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, Li Qi was very curious and asked, "What is your opinion, Madam?"
Mrs. Qin held up a piece of newly made paper and said: "A brush can be dipped in water and written on the ground, or written on bamboo pieces, but you can only write on paper. If you want to calculate the cost, then you still have to write on it."
The cost of the paper must be taken into account, and the calculated cost cannot be lower than that of the brush."
Li Qi was stunned for a moment. Yes, paper is very expensive these days. I didn't expect that this lady is quite powerful and can react so quickly. Could it be that she used to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger? Yes, what is she?
Without doing anything, the wealth has increased hundreds of times. It is indeed a master among the people.
Little did they know that Mrs. Qin was only sensitive to these four treasures of the study. In other respects, she was still the same Mrs. Qin as before.
Li Qi pondered for a while and then said: "Since we can't sell it cheaply, let's just sell it more expensively, specifically targeting those who study sketching, and package this item into a high-end study tool, and also use the chalk
We need to control costs and sell them specifically to the poor. We must first use our price advantage to break into the Four Treasures of the Study, so that our pencils and chalks can develop sustainably."
That's okay. Mrs. Qin was stunned when she heard this, and thought to herself, this person is really a born businessman.
The price depends entirely on Li Qi's words, and it is very feasible.
"Yes, the villain knows what to do." Zheng Quan nodded slightly and said: "In the past two years, chalk and blackboard have become popular in schools, and many ordinary people have also bought chalk. But recently I heard that there is no
The little workshop has also produced chalk."
Li Qidao said: "This chalk is not too difficult to get. I have already expected it. It's okay. Let them do it. They will have to leak some soup to others. Let's just make a big profit."
After walking around outside, Li Qi and Zheng Quan came to the glass delivery room inside.
Zheng Quan brought a thicker glass and said: "Sir, this is our latest development, which is the glass you mentioned before. However, it still lacks many shortcomings. The temperature resistance is limited, and it is still easy to burn after a long time.
explode."
Li Qi took the beaker and weighed it. Compared with the beakers of later generations, it was still a little lighter and the texture was not good. He thought to himself that today's industrial purification and cooling have relatively large limitations. The farther back the glass is made, the harder it will be.
It became more and more difficult, so he said: "You can't focus solely on the glass. At this stage, you need to focus more on the equipment, brainstorm ideas, and strive to improve the equipment. Only when the equipment is improved can there be hope for success. Don't
I'm afraid of spending money, but as long as I can develop new glass, no matter how much money I have, it won't be a problem."
Zheng Quan nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."
Li Qi put the glass aside and said: "One more thing, now that glass has begun to be sold to the whole world, there will definitely be people who will try their best to obtain the secret recipe of glass in the future. You must be careful and not leak any information.
You must explain this clearly to your subordinates. If it is leaked, ask them if they can bear the punishment of the Privy Councilor."
Zheng Quandao: "Sir, please rest assured, I will never let this happen."
"very good."
Li Qi nodded and said: "You can mobilize the guards outside according to the situation. They will listen to you." After saying that, he added: "We have made money this year. This is everyone's credit. Don't be stingy. We won't be stingy."
If you are short of money, get more meat for everyone to eat. In addition, go to the accounting office to allocate some money and buy some pork from the market. Each person will be given ten pounds of pork and asked to take it back to their families to taste. These people are all scared of poverty.
If you give them money, they may not buy meat."
Zheng Quan was extremely moved and said, "Your Excellency, you are still thoughtful."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Okay, I won't interrupt your celebration. Remember, today's theme is eating, drinking and having fun, but you still have to ask those involved in the glass research to drink as little as possible, so as not to be too late.
All the words have been spoken.”
Zheng Quan sings.
After coming out of the workshop, Li Qi went to Taishi College without stopping. After all, he was still the vice president of Taishi College. He had not visited it after being back for so long.
The two arrived at Taishi Academy. They had just entered the door when they suddenly saw two people walking towards them.
Mrs. Qin looked at the two people in front of her and said blankly: "That---that seems to be my father?"
Li Qi looked up and immediately became happy and said: "It's really early to get slapped in the face." (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
