Chapter four hundred and eighty sixth make a fortune
Early the next morning.
The first batch of iron from the Imperial City was shipped to the Dream Group.
This batch of iron weighs more than 10,000 kilograms.
For Dream Group, it is a timely help.
But for Li Er, it was just a drop in the bucket. After the Turks were destroyed, Datang occupied several large iron mines in the northwest, which instantly solved the problem of iron ore shortage in Datang. The only constraint was iron smelting technology.
It is still lagging behind and unable to produce high-quality iron on a large scale, but there has been no war in the Tang Dynasty for at least five years, so the demand for iron is naturally much less. Therefore, Li's stockpile of iron now amounts to at least 500,000 tons, which can
Not only was Li Er happy to sell part of it to Du He at twice the price, but the big shots in the court would not object. They all praised His Majesty Li Er for his sagacity and his ability to do business.
More than 10,000 kilograms of iron were delivered, and it was Ximen Qing who Li Er sent to monitor.
Ximen Qing and Du He are old friends.
Du He pulled Ximen Qing aside and said, "Manager Ximen, your Majesty has sent you to be the supervisor this time, so you have to show respect."
Li Er was worried that Du He would use the iron purchased from the imperial court for other purposes, so he specially sent Ximen Qing.
Hearing this, Ximen Qing laughed and said in a low voice: "Marquis of Huyi County, what you said is serious. If others don't know, don't I know who you are? Your Majesty is worried that you will use the iron for other purposes, but in the eyes of the slave,
Come on, this is too much to worry about... His Majesty asked his servants to send messages to the palace every day. Don’t worry, Marquis, I will send you a copy of the news every day, which guarantees your satisfaction!"
Du He chuckled.
This little eunuch is so wise and has many advantages over Zhao Yang.
Du He nodded with satisfaction: "That's it, Manager Ximen. Your house has been prepared for you. Linhe Villa, I guarantee your satisfaction."
When Ximen Qing heard this, we can also live in a small villa near the river?
It is better to be the Marquis of Huyi County.
Immediately, Du He asked Ximen Qing to live in a villa that had been vacant for a long time by the Bahe River. Then he quietly asked someone to carry a large box over. In addition to three thousand strings, there were also many rare treasures in it.
Exotic treasures are all valuable treasures in the eyes of outsiders, but to Du He, they are worthless, because these things are all made by a few counterfeiters in the R&D center.
In the villa.
Ximen Qing's face burst into a smile, like a chrysanthemum, and he said with satisfaction: "The Marquis of Huyi County really knows how to behave. There is no such sensible person in this world as the Marquis of Huyi County!"
Although he is a close confidant of His Majesty Li Er, his status is vastly different from that of the general manager, Zhao Yang.
Therefore, let alone a dignified marquis like Du He, even a sixth-rank official would not be polite to him.
In contrast, Ximen Qing felt that Du He was like a god, bringing light and warmth to him.
Ximen Qing is also a good person. When his subordinates sent him today's iron quantity, Ximen Qing did a little trick and lost two thousand kilograms without anyone noticing.
Immediately, Zhao Yang went to the courtyard where Du He lived to meet Du He alone in the name of collecting money for His Majesty Li Er.
As soon as he saw Du He, Ximen Qing looked around and saw that there was no one around. Then he took a few steps forward and whispered: "Marquis of Huyi County, I would like to remind you that this time, although your Majesty sent me to be the supervisor, I
I guess His Majesty has sent someone else to hide in the dark, so you'd better be more careful!"
Du He laughed: "I, Du He, have done my business upright, so I have to be careful. Manager Ximen is overly worried."
"This is the best!" Ximen Qing said.
After Ximen Qing left, Du He called Zhang Jian to ask.
Zhang Jian nodded: "Master, you are really good at predicting things. Since last night, there have been many experts around Meng Meng in the past few days. They all come and go without a trace. Their whereabouts are mysterious, and they seem to be targeting us."
R&D center.”
Du He thought of Ximen Qing's reminder just now and said: "I understand, go tell Lu Yuan and Lao Yuan, give them half a day to move the hot water tablet making workshop to the Ba River, to an open air place.
The more obvious the better, the space in the R&D center is already narrow, and with so many people crammed in at once, I am worried about potential safety hazards..."
"Master, is it necessary?"
Du He said with a smile: "Don't forget, there are still many people in the court who don't like me. It's better to do less than to do more. It's better to keep silent and make a fortune."
Ding-dang-dang.
Ding-ding-ding-ding.
With a steady supply of iron resources, Dream Group's momentum to build hot water heaters has become even stronger.
…
Sikong Mansion.
In the study room.
Changsun Wuji has been infected with the cold in the past few days. It has not completely recovered yet and his face is still pale, so he eats and sleeps in the study room, enjoying the warmth brought by the hot water tablet, and does not go anywhere else, nor does he go to the hotel.
As for what happened in the outside world, he had no idea.
Butler Wang Fu happily ran into the study and said to Changsun Wuji: "Master, good news, good news..."
"What good news?" Changsun Wuji asked without raising his head and continued writing.
Wang Fu kept his bright smile and said: "Sir, the craftsmen from Dream Group are here and have delivered the remaining three sets of hot water heaters, saying they will be installed for us now."
Snap.
Changsun Wuji raised his head and the brush fell on the table, completely destroying the white paper.
He originally ordered eight sets of hot water heaters to install them in important places in Sikong Mansion and in the house where he lives.
However, after installing five sets in the past few days, Dream Group delayed the installation for two days due to lack of iron.
Changsun Wuji knows that all the iron in Chang'an City has been bought up by the Dream Group, and the only one who still sells iron is the Changsun family.
So he handed the matter over to Changsun Chong and let Changsun Chong and Du He have a fight.
Now, the hot water tablets have been delivered, proving that Chong'er has been successful.
"Okay, okay, he is worthy of being the son of my eldest son, Wuji. Chong'er has grown up, and Chong'er has not let me down... Tell me quickly, how much iron did Chong'er sell to Du He, and at what market price was it sold?"
Changsun Wuji's face was full of joy.
People feel refreshed when happy events happen!
In an instant, Changsun Wuji felt that his illness was completely cured.
Wang Fu's eyes widened and he said: "Master... the young master hasn't told you yet, Du He's iron is not from our eldest grandson's family, but was sold to Du He by His Majesty at twice the market price. The young master was still waiting at the beginning.
Du He came to Sikong Mansion to talk. Who would have thought that Du He would find another way to bypass us... Moreover, in order to attack Du He, the young master bought all the iron in Chang'an City at a high price. In this way, Sikong Mansion will at least suffer a loss.
Twenty thousand dollars..."
"..."
"It's evil, it's evil..."
Changsun Wuji Nuonuo said to himself, suddenly feeling sick again.
The loss of 20,000 yuan was nothing, but he was angry that such a big thing had happened, and Changsun Chong didn't even know he wanted to say anything.
"This bastard..."
Changsun Wuji suddenly felt that his condition had worsened several times.
