Chapter 92: Sprinkle Fragrant Bait to Catch the Golden Ao
After listening to Li Min's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but said with laughter and tears: "I am the king of a country, how can I participate in a business? What a kid, don't mention this matter again!"
Li Min smiled slightly and asked: "Father, I wonder how much money you have in your inner treasury?"
The Tang Dynasty court had two warehouses, one was the treasury of the Ministry of Revenue, and the other was the inner treasury, which was the emperor's small treasury.
Under normal circumstances, if the emperor wants to build a palace or engage in some hobbies, the Ministry of Revenue will not allocate funds.
Then the emperor will have to use his own treasury.
But Li Shimin's small treasury was really shabby, not to mention that it could run horses, but it wasn't much different.
Li Shimin was suffering from mental illness. Some people suggested that he repair the palace, but Li Shimin was reluctant to do so.
When life was at its most difficult, Empress Changsun even took the lead in weaving in the palace.
It can be said that the inner treasury is the biggest pain in Li Shimin's heart.
Li Min said with a smile: "Father, of course you cannot do business by yourself, but you can send someone to act as a representative. The money earned from doing business will be directly deposited into the internal treasury."
Hearing Li Min's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but move.
Even though he is the king of a country, he is actually a poor man.
Now that he has a way to make money, Li Shimin is really unwilling to let it go.
Li Shimin deliberately asked with a serious face: "Yin'er, you said you were doing business with your father, but in the end you only gave him 10% of the profit? Are you giving alms to beggars?"
Li Min said helplessly: "Father, I can't handle such a big business by myself. I have to attract other people to buy shares. Father doesn't need to do anything, so he just gets 10% of the shares for free.
Aren’t you still satisfied?”
Li Shimin looked at Li Min with a half-smile and said, "Don't fool me here. You want me to buy shares, right?"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Min couldn't help but blush. He didn't expect that Li Shimin would see his little thoughts.
The emergence of papermaking and printing will have a huge impact on traditional papermaking and printing plants.
And who owns these paper mills and printing plants?
Most of them are in the hands of aristocratic families.
Doing these two kinds of business is tantamount to tampering with the interests of the family. When the time comes, the family will definitely counterattack and even use all possible means.
And by taking Li Shimin to do business together, Li Min is not afraid of making things worse.
Anyway, there is a big BOSS standing behind me. Who am I afraid of?
Of course, what Li Min wanted to do with Li Shimin was mainly the paper mill.
As for the printing factory, because it involved too much, Li Minling made arrangements.
…
Li Shimin stretched out three fingers and said leisurely: "Thirty percent, at least give me 30% of the income, otherwise, I will not invest in the shares!"
Li Min took a deep breath and said, "Okay, Father, let's do it ourselves!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Um?
Just leave now? Not even a bargaining process?
Did the conversation fall apart in just one sentence?
Li Shimin is so angry!
I couldn't help shouting: "Come back to me!"
Li Min walked back, blinked and asked: "Father, may I ask if you have any other instructions?"
Li Shimin pointed at Li Min, his teeth were itching with anger, and he said angrily: "Okay, once it's done, it's done! That's it."
Li Min couldn't help but blink his eyes and said: "Father, it takes money to open a factory. I don't have that much money now, so please sponsor me!"
Hearing Li Min's words, Li Shimin suddenly got angry and asked: "You are selling Zhenguan tables, Zhenguan chairs, MSG, and running a restaurant. How about the money you make?"
?”
Li Min blinked his eyes, and then said: "Father, all the money earned by the sons and ministers has been used to honor the mother and concubine! Besides, the funds required to build the paper mill and movable type printing are very huge, and this amount of money is simply not enough."
Li Shimin thought about it for a while, and it seemed to be the same reason.
In fact, he had no idea how amazing the profits from Li Min's trading were.
Li Shimin couldn't help but ask: "Don't you have business partners? Don't they contribute capital?"
Li Min couldn't help but explain: "Father, the purpose of business partners is actually to share risks and jointly resist the counterattack of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. Before seeing tangible profits, they took such a big risk again.
How can you bet a huge sum of money?"
"If my father doesn't invest, I'm afraid it will take at least next year to accumulate the original capital based on my son's business income. If my father is not in a hurry, it won't be too late to start papermaking and movable type printing next year."
Can Li Shimin not be anxious? He is very anxious!
Li Shimin couldn't help but ask: "How much capital do you need for your initial investment?"
Li Min calculated with his fingers for a long time and said: "At least five thousand coins are needed!"
In fact, as long as Li Min proposes a new business, the Cheng family, Qin family and other families will definitely invest without hesitation.
Because now they have no doubt about Li Min's ability. As long as they follow Li Min, they will definitely make a fortune.
The main reason why Li Min asked Li Shimin for money was because the sales of Zhenguan tables, Zhenguan chairs and MSG have plummeted due to the raw materials, and their income has dropped sharply.
And his recent expenses have been very large, and it is not enough to rely solely on the profits of the first floor in the world.
If that's the case, let's just blackmail him a little bit from his father.
Li Min was already prepared to bargain with his father. His psychological expectation was that it would be good to get two to three thousand guan.
Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, then gritted his molar teeth and said, "Okay, I will withdraw five thousand guan for you! Let me ask you first, how long will it take for these 5,000 guan to be paid back?"
ah?
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Min was stunned, Huo, are you really giving it?
Li Min suddenly became energetic and said: "Father, within one year at most, all five thousand strings will definitely come back! After one year, everything will be profitable."
Li Shimin nodded, sent someone to withdraw five thousand coins from the inner treasury, and then sent it to Prince Liang's Mansion.
After the business was done, Li Min stopped being a light bulb and immediately left.
And after Li Min left, Li Shimin always felt that something was wrong.
Didn’t you originally say that you would give me 10% of the shares? Why now it’s me who has to pay 5,000 yuan, and it will take a year to make a profit?
How should the investment of the Cheng family, Qin family, and Yuchi family be calculated?
Anyway, it looks like something is wrong.
…
When I returned to Prince Liang's Mansion, I was surprised to find that the two girls, Li Mengxin and Wu Jue, were not here.
It feels very annoying when they come every day.
But suddenly I stopped coming, and I really felt a little uncomfortable.
At this moment, Xiao Liuzi came to report that it was Qiao Qi who wanted to see him.
Li Min couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he quickly invited people in.
After entering Li Min, Qiao Qi saluted, and then said to Li Min: "Your Highness, as you expected, someone paid a high price to buy the high-gloss paint formula from ordinary people."
Li Min laughed and said, "Okay, then you sell it to him! Remember, five days after the sale, your whole family will move into the Cheng Mansion."
