This is by no means alarmist, nor is Li Qi trying to deceive others. As he said, he dared to risk his life to say this. Considering his businessman's thinking, the stakes can be imagined.
In fact, this phenomenon has always existed in the Song Dynasty. Take the wine making system as an example, the imperial court exclusively sold re-brewed wine, which restricted the development of the wine industry. Li Qi was just an example, because he was deeply favored by the emperor, so he
I just gave him a wide berth, but if it had been anyone else, then Tianxia Wushuang would have been monopolized by the court long ago. Then the person who invented Tianxia Wushuang would not get anything. Since I know that I will not get anything, why should I?
After spending so much effort and money to do this, what do I want? I might as well go home and sleep.
You think so, and I think so, then the wine industry will definitely stagnate, and if you want to drink more delicious wine, it will be really difficult to achieve success.
All good things come from the imperial court and are exclusively sold by the imperial court. This is robbery and shameless behavior. This deprives the people of their creative rights to a certain extent. Over time, China's creativity will stagnate.
As for falling behind the world.
If you want to be stronger, you must first give people an open environment and let them play freely. If you never dare to look up at the moon, then you will definitely not be able to go to the moon. Only if you dare to think and do can you see the future, because
The future does not exist at this moment, so humans can only use their imagination to look at it. If they dare not even think about it, then what is the future? As for a strong country or a rich country?
Haha, it's just a joke, whoever takes it seriously will lose.
Li Qi has always done this. He would rather be in pieces than in ruins. If you want money, I can give it to you, but you can't insult my wisdom. Unless I want to, why should I let you go?
To make money, he protects his intellectual property rights very strictly, whether it is glass, cans, or unparalleled in the world. So far, he is the only one in the world who can make it, and even the court does not know about it.
But before this, Li Qi had always adopted a roundabout strategy. He used high taxes to coax the court. But today, he formalized the issue. Of course, he was not impulsive. He had planned it for a long time. Now the Song Dynasty
Business is flourishing, but it has reached a critical point. If this layer of shackles can be released, his economic reforms will go to the next level, and this building will not be capped.
It's not that Li Qi was timid before, it's just that there was no need. Now the time has come. He must stand up.
He was fighting for himself, but he was also fighting for the people, fighting for the power to not be exploited, and he did not want to put himself at risk. But he knew that no one except him would dare to compete with the emperor for interests, and he was the one anyway.
He is a habitual offender. This time is no different.
However, not everything in this world can be explained by logic. Based on tradition, the world belongs to the emperor. This is the truth. Li Qi's words will undoubtedly steal food from the dragon's mouth.
He is competing for interests with the emperor!
Zhao Kai clenched his fists and remained silent. He did not speak, and the others did not dare to say anything. They all sat aside tremblingly. The hall seemed very quiet.
After a while, Zhao Kai suddenly waved his hand.
The two guards immediately retreated.
Cai Jing breathed a sigh of relief, this kid is really bold!
Zhao Kai suddenly looked up at Li Qi and said: "Don't be too happy too early. Just because I won't kill you doesn't mean that I fully agree with what you said. It's just that I have a different stance from you on penicillin, so I
In consideration of your past achievements, I will spare your life. If it were something else, that would be fine, but penicillin is of vital importance, and you should know its effectiveness, so I will make a decision."
Li Qi smiled and said: "That Weichen is really very sorry. This is just an excuse for the emperor."
"You mean excuses?"
Zhao Kai frowned and said: "Then I want to ask you, what should I do? If penicillin is used on the battlefield, it can save the lives of countless soldiers. Is this an excuse?"
Li Qidao: "Of course this is an excuse. Why does the imperial court always want to get it for free? There is nothing in this world that is obtained for free. Has the emperor never thought of buying it?"
"Buy?"
Zhao Kai was stunned and said: "What do you mean by this?"
I really don’t know if it’s because my IQ is too high, but because this guy is pretending to be stupid. Li Qi said: “The imperial court purchased penicillin from Taishi Hospital. This is very common. If Taishi Hospital was in the Kingdom of Jin or Xixia, the imperial court would
Do you have to buy it differently? Why is it so incredible when it comes to your own people?"
Zhao Kai said: "This penicillin is not an ordinary thing and cannot be lumped together."
Li Qi immediately said: "It's just a commodity, just like the imperial court purchasing grain."
Qin Hui shook his head and said: "It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. Firstly, the amount of penicillin the imperial court needs is huge. If Taishi Hospital manufactures it, its quantity is very limited. Only the imperial court in the world has the ability to satisfy such a huge amount. Secondly, the imperial court needs a huge amount of penicillin."
Come on, this penicillin is related to the hegemony of our Song Dynasty. We cannot leak it out at will. If Xixia and the Kingdom of Jin learn the secret recipe, we, the Song Dynasty, will lose more than we gain. We must keep it strictly confidential."
Zhao Kai nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
"Young Master, what you said is wrong."
Li Qi shook his head with a smile and said: "First, based on business principles, there is supply when there is demand. As long as there is money to be made, there is nothing that cannot be satisfied. This is the advantage of creations. As long as the court can afford it, we will
If we can expand the workshop and increase the number of people, we will be able to meet the needs of the imperial court and do better than the imperial court, because the officials of the imperial court are all paid by the imperial court, and they do things in a strict manner, and their drive is far less than that of private craftsmen.
Because no matter how hard they work, they will only get so much, but we will give them bonuses to encourage them. Judging from the construction process of Taishi Hospital and People's Hospital, it can explain everything. Moreover, Taishi Hospital has rich experience, but the imperial court does not.
You have to start all over again, which actually slows down production.
Second, as for confidentiality, this is indeed a difficult problem. After all, this is highly confidential and cannot be leaked. Generally speaking, it is a bit rash to say that such confidential products are produced in the private sector, but this is only based on old habits.
Why can't we find ways to work hard to achieve a win-win situation? The imperial court can cooperate with Taishi Hospital and sign a confidentiality agreement."
"Confidentiality Agreement."
Zhao Kai frowned.
Li Qi nodded and said: "After all, the interests of the country are the greatest, and what should be kept secret should be kept secret. The court can decide whether to intervene based on the value of the product. Once the court feels that the product belongs to the national interest, it will be in danger if it is leaked.
For national interests, confidentiality agreements can be reached with manufacturers and R&D personnel to be included in special commodities. The court has the right to conduct detailed investigations on every person involved in R&D, and even on anyone involved in this matter, and can monitor every transaction.
When buying and selling, you can have the right to stop the sale. Once something is wrong, you can have the right to arrest the perpetrators and intervene in the investigation. If the evidence is conclusive, you can be sentenced to the highest criminal offense on the grounds of harming national interests, so that there will be no delay.
Businessmen use their own wisdom to gain profits, and they can also ensure national interests. Having said that, it is actually left to the imperial court to develop. The imperial court also has to send people to do it. As long as it is artificial, it may also be leaked. There is actually no difference.
.”
Zhao Kai said: "It seems that you are determined not to hand over the penicillin."
"Actually, it doesn't make much difference to Wei Chen himself whether he hands it over or not. No matter how much money he has, it is just a number. Wei Chen's current earnings are enough."
Li Qi shrugged his shoulders and continued: "The reason why Wei Chen persisted is for a Song Dynasty with unlimited development. If the court removed penicillin today, there might not be erythromycin, black mycin, and blue mold.
Elements, etc., because of the lack of motivation to promote the birth of all this. On the contrary, if the court establishes a new economic system, it will be possible to obtain erythromycin, black mycin, and bluemycin. In short, it will be a stronger Song Dynasty.
Does the emperor want to see only the little benefit in front of him, or does he want to see a Song Dynasty with unlimited possibilities? Wei Chen thinks that the emperor also wants to live in a country full of surprises every day, rather than a big country that is framed within a frame.
The Song Dynasty, perhaps the framed Song Dynasty, is easier to manage and rule, because it will always be so big, and everyone is very familiar with every plant and tree, and can manage it well with eyes closed, but it also loses more because of it, and cannot make progress again.
Further, I have already said everything I want to say, it all depends on what kind of Song Dynasty the Emperor has in mind."
Hearing this, Cai Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a faint smile on his lips. Master Li is Master Li. His words are always full of temptation and incitement. No one can refuse the cake he draws, just a man with unlimited possibilities.
The Great Song Dynasty was something that no emperor could refuse, so he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Li Dake should be the one to have a son!
Zhao Kai's heart was moved. Although he had developed some kind of immune function to Li Qi's words, he was still moved this time. As usual, he looked around and said, "What do you think?"
Qin Hui immediately said: "Your Majesty, although what the Privy Council said is not unreasonable, this will increase the pressure on the treasury. Based on the role and necessity of penicillin, I believe the price of penicillin will not be low."
"You can't say that."
Li Qi retorted: "We can reduce the benefits to zero if there is no penicillin, because if there is no penicillin, then there will be no benefits. Now that there is penicillin, how should the benefits of penicillin be calculated? From the standpoint of our creators
From a perspective, of course it is a profit, I don’t deny this, but from the court’s perspective, the court will have to pay a high price to purchase penicillin. This is indeed an expense that does not exist in the first place, but penicillin cannot
Will it bring profits to the court?
I don’t think so. First of all, the raw materials and production equipment of penicillin may need to be purchased from the imperial court, and also from other businessmen. This will undoubtedly stimulate the economy of the Song Dynasty, and the imperial court will also receive a stable income. In addition,
What about taxes? If penicillin is expensive, then the taxes will definitely be high, and the court will receive a rich tax. This is only counting the domestic ones. Once penicillin is sold abroad, it is conceivable that all countries will
If you try your best to buy from our Song Dynasty, wealth will continue to flow into our Song Dynasty. The extra foreign trade tax will make the court rich even if you don't have penicillin. In addition, penicillin can save countless lives.
These people will bring more vitality and productivity to the Song Dynasty. All of this is sustainable, so compared to the situation without penicillin, the court must still make a lot of money.
Maybe you will think that once the imperial court takes back penicillin, it can still do this business and earn more. This is true. But this is only the immediate benefit. What about the future benefit? Erythromycin, bluemycin,
What are the benefits of black mycin? If the imperial court does not take back penicillin, people all over the world will see that Taishi Hospital has made a lot of money just by inventing a medicine. It is conceivable that those people will be jealous, and they will inspire their own
Potential, try every means to create more products, Weichen can guarantee that once the orders from the imperial court and Taishi Hospital are issued, countless people will immediately invest in the research of medicinal materials, and the medicine of our Song Dynasty will advance by leaps and bounds. However,
, every new type of medicine comes out, the court will benefit a lot, and it can also stimulate inventions and creations in more industries. Never underestimate a person's determination to make a fortune. Sometimes the court just needs to let go of its hands a little.
Being able to gain endless wealth, I, the Song Dynasty, will always be the biggest winner."
