Li Yizhi came up and said with a smile: "Mr. Song, Miss Song, you are well."
Song Shidao clasped his fists and said with a hearty smile: "I have met Mr. Li. Mr. Li, let me introduce to you. This is my uncle Song Lu. Uncle Lu, this is Mr. Li Yizhi."
"It turns out to be Song Lu, the 'Silver Beard', and I am Li Yizhi, whose name I have admired for a long time."
Li Yizhi saw the ceremony. Song Lu was the core figure of the Song Dynasty. He created his own "Silver Dragon Abduction Technique" and it became famous in Jiangnan.
In the world of Yitian, there are very few people who can create their own martial arts. Apart from Zhang Sanfeng, it is almost difficult to find anyone else. Everyone learns their martial arts from their predecessors.
But in the world of the Tang Dynasty, there were many people who could create their own martial arts. It could even be said that they were everywhere.
It's like being embarrassed to tell others that you are a master if you don't create your own martial arts.
The most famous among them are naturally Fu Cailin's Yi Sword Sword Technique, Ning Daoqi's Eight Pounces of Sanshou, and Song Que's Eight Heavenly Sword Techniques. Of course, there are also Shi Zhixuan's 'Immortal Seal Technique' and Bi Xuan's 'Yan Yang Qigong'.
'etc.
Or, this is due to the fact that this world's cultivation method emphasizes "intention". Not only the practice emphasizes "intention", but also the martial arts attaches great importance to "intention". Therefore, this encourages people to constantly create their own martial arts.
Song Lu stroked his beard and smiled, saying: "It's really hard to imagine that at such a young age, Mr. Li is already a master of painting and is known as the 'Sage of Painting'."
"Painting sage?" Li Yizhi was a little confused.
"Mr. Li is ignorant of worldly affairs and may not be aware of it. You painted five paintings in a row that day, and now it has completely spread in the world. Even one painting was sold for 30,000 taels of silver, but no one was willing to take action, so he was
He is called the Saint of Painting."
Song Yuzhi hurriedly stood up and explained with a smile: "You don't know how many people are looking for you, sir, just for a painting. Even Emperor Yang Guang issued an imperial edict to invite you to the palace."
Kou Zhong screamed strangely and said excitedly: "Boss Li, did you hear it? Thirty thousand taels of silver per painting, we are going to make a fortune!"
Although Xu Ziling is not obsessed with money, the title of 'Painting Saint' fascinates him.
Li Yizhi glared at Kou Zhong, then shook his head and smiled, saying: "Painting is just my hobby. At the beginning, I was short of money, so I had no choice but to paint for others. You three, are you going to the city? You might as well come to my house as a guest. I just happen to be here."
I have some business matters that I would like to cooperate with you Song clan."
Song Shidao was a little surprised. He chuckled and said, "What a coincidence. This time we came to Yangzhou with the expectation of visiting Mr. Li. We originally thought about asking someone to search for him, but we didn't expect to meet him again outside the city gate."
"Perhaps this is fate, three of you, please."
Li Yizhi smiled slightly. If they hadn't met here, I'm afraid Song Shidao and the others would have returned without success.
After more than half an hour, the group arrived at Li's Mansion.
After taking their seats, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling served fragrant tea, and then stood behind Li Yizhi.
Song Lu took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup, and said, "I wonder what kind of business Mr. Li is talking about?"
Li Yizhi smiled slightly and said: "The Song family must be familiar with it, it is Haiyan."
Song Lu frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy.
Southern Haiyan was almost divided between the Song clan and the Haisha Gang, but Li Yizhi said he wanted to cooperate on Haiyan. Isn't this trying to seize food from the tiger's mouth?
"Mr. Li, please elaborate."
Song Shidao hurriedly said that he did not believe that a man as knowledgeable and far-reaching as Mr. Li would do anything to send the Song clan leader Kou Zhong to seize food.
"In today's world, whether it is the sea salt from the Haisha Gang or the sea salt from your Song family, it is obtained by boiling salt. However, this method of boiling salt is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also consumes a lot of wood.
."
Li Yizhi chuckled and said: "I have a method called the salt-drying method. It does not require wood or much manpower, but the output is dozens or hundreds of times that of boiling salt. I wonder if you, the Song clan, are interested?"
Song Lu straightened his figure, his eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Li, are you serious about what you said?"
After Song Shidao was shocked, he said happily: "If what Mr. Li said is true, then we can even monopolize the sea salt in the entire Central Plains, and we will make countless profits."
What business is the most profitable?
Monopoly business is the most profitable, and it can even lower the price of salt and sell it nationwide.
The Sui Dynasty alone had a population of more than 50 million. Even if each person only consumed 200 copper coins of salt per year, that year was a big business worth nearly 10 million taels of silver.
Not including the Western Regions and many places on the grasslands, the market is extremely broad.
"My dear, I'm going to faint. Master Ling, there's a lot of money."
Kou Zhong is a money addict. He feels like his whole body is numb now. Sure enough, having a good boss is really important.
Li Yizhi said: "Of course it is true. This method is simple and simple, but no one has ever thought of it. As long as I tell you the specific method, you will naturally believe it."
Song Lu's expression changed and he said: "Mr. Li, since it is such a big business, why don't you run it alone and instead cooperate with our Song family?"
"It's very simple. Firstly, this business is too important. In today's world, except for the four big clans like you, no one is likely to take it. Secondly, the credibility of your Song clan is guaranteed, and I believe you won't turn your back.
It’s about recognizing people.”
Li Yizhi picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then said: "I am self-aware. With my current strength, I am afraid I still cannot control this business."
Song Lu looked at Li Yizhi and thought for a moment. He understood the meaning of Li Yizhi's words. He didn't have the strength now, but he might have it in the future.
"This is a person who is unwilling to be mediocre. He is definitely not the hermit master that Shi Dao previously evaluated. It seems that this recruitment is unlikely to be successful."
Song Lu thought to himself, then he smiled heartily and said: "Of course, our Song family has always paid attention to reputation. Although this business can make countless profits, it is not enough to make our Song family betray their trust. I just don't know, Mr. Li
How much share do you want?"
Song Shidao also nodded and said seriously: "Yes, Mr. Li can rest assured, I can guarantee it with my personality."
Li Yizhi said: "Of course I trust your Song family, otherwise I would not cooperate with you. You are responsible for all operations of this salt drying business. I will only participate in the dividends, and I will take a 70% share."
Hiss!
In the lobby, everyone took a deep breath, this was the lion's big mouth.
Song Lu's face darkened and he said displeasedly: "Mr. Li, although you came up with the method of drying salt, it will be run by my Song family. All aspects have to be taken care of, which requires a lot of energy and cost. But in the end, we only got 30%
, isn’t it too little!”
Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi both wanted to speak but stopped.
Li Yizhi smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of greedy person. In three years, as long as I share the share of the first three years, this business will belong to your Song family in the future. I don't know if the Song family will be satisfied with this condition."
?”
Three years is enough time for Li Yizhi to conquer the world. By then, the salt drying business will be dispensable to him.
During these three years, he needed a lot of money to support his great cause.
