Chapter 46: Secret Talks
In the back building of Xiaoyao Pavilion, in a relatively private room, Rui Wang Ye and Baili Xiao were whispering something. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Elder Qin asks to see." There was a sound of proclamation at the door.
With a hint of evil smile on his face, Baili Xiao glanced at King Rui, "Let him in." ”
When Qin Lao came in, he had a smile on his face as if spring was coming.
"It seems that Qin Lao has sent us good news." King Rui's face was rarely relaxed.
"Master, these paintings have now been paid 150,000 taels of silver."
Baili Xiao cracked his mouth, revealing his white teeth, "The effect is good?" What's going on with the first two paintings? ”
"Now most people in the capital know that those two paintings are not for sale, and now there are a lot fewer people asking questions."
Baili Xiao nodded, then looked at King Rui, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Brother-in-law, do you want to leave these two paintings to my other brother-in-law?" ”
King Rui smiled and shook his head, "It's better to follow the plan and let him take the one in your grandfather's hand, as for the rest, it depends on how much money he can come up with." ”
The emperor of Southern Chu loves famous paintings and likes to collect all kinds of masterpieces in the world, and the prince of Southern Chu is the eldest brother-in-law of Baili Xiao.
"Humph! If Chu Jingyao really wants to sit in that position, just one painting is not enough. With a mocking smile on his face, King Rui said lightly.
Baili Xiao's heart moved at this time, "Brother-in-law, I have a very interesting thing here." ”
Rui Wang raised his eyebrows and motioned for Baili Xiao to continue.
"A few years ago, a businessman named Zhen Hao found me and gave me 20% of the output of several shops for nothing, and said that I would protect these shops."
"You promised?" King Rui suddenly became interested, leaned forward, and asked with interest.
"At first, I didn't promise how much output a few shops could have. However, the chief steward of Zhen Hao spoke wildly, saying that the output of his master's shops was no less than that of Xiaoyao Pavilion. Baili Xiao seems to be still reminiscing about the scene at that time.
"What shop? Can it be compared to Xiaoyao Pavilion? "You must know that Xiaoyao Pavilion is a famous gold cave in the capital, although the ultimate purpose of their establishment of Xiaoyao Pavilion is not for money, but who would be afraid of less money?
And after listening to Baili Xiao's meaning, he finally agreed, which had to make King Rui a little interested.
"It's a jewelry shop, a ready-to-wear shop, and a rouge gouache shop. It was also said that there would be a restaurant opening in a while. ”
"Just like that?" King Rui and Qin Lao thought it was some special shop.
Baili Xiao had a mysterious smile on his face, "I didn't care about it at first, but the manager told me something, and I finally agreed." ”
Baili Xiao didn't let the two of them wait too long and continued, "It is said that the so-called rouge gouache shop mainly sells something called soap.
The kind of soap that can be used to bathe, cleanse, and wash hair. It can also wash clothes, and it is said that there are many varieties, and it is a new type of cleaning product. ”
After hearing this, King Rui leaned back on the chair as soon as his body loosened, "As soon as people say that, you believe it?"
What kind of soap is that a fetish? How many more features can there be? ”
"I didn't believe it at first, but the chief manager I thought was a character, and when I saw that I didn't move, I finally said that if these things really existed, it would not be as simple as selling them in the Great Xia Dynasty."
King Rui and Old Qin both had surprised expressions on their faces, "If it really exists, this is not a trivial matter?" ”
Bai Li Xiao nodded, his face solemn, "Although I agreed, I finally put forward a condition, if these things are really produced, then those production personnel and factories must be rearranged according to my requirements." ”
As the former crown prince and the current prince, King Rui is particularly sensitive to politics, although he is talking about business now, but once such a novelty comes out, it is not just about business.
"That one agreed?" I don't think I'll say yes so easily.
Baili Xiao showed a meaningful smile, "That person named Zhen Hao is not simple.
The general manager replied two days later, the factory that produces soap still exists secretly, if these soaps can get out of Great Xia in the future, then I will find a place to establish a new secret production site, and he will send technicians to assist and guide, and all the products produced cannot be sold in the Great Xia Dynasty. The profit is only 30%. ”
"This is a man of great wisdom, and he has a long-term vision, and his mind is pure and not greedy." King Rui immediately had a high opinion of this person.
Qin Lao nodded frequently, "The one who found the master from the beginning, I'm afraid he had this in mind, knowing that once such a thing comes out, he won't be able to keep it sooner or later." "This is not something that ordinary people can think of, and it is not something that ordinary people can give up such a big interest and let it go.
"If this person becomes an official in the court, he will definitely have a bright future. Xiao, have you ever seen this Zhen Hao? "King Rui's first thought is that if this person is a leader, it must be a blessing for the Great Xia Dynasty.
Baili Xiao shook his head and smiled wryly, "The manager said that his master has no ambitions and just wants to make some money to spend. ”
King Rui and Old Qin were silent, and after a while, King Rui suddenly remembered something, raised his head and asked, "What do you mean, do you want to let that person push out the soap as soon as possible?" ”
"Hmm. If Nan Chu gets the right to cooperate with us first, it will also be a kind of stability for his position as the crown prince. ”
There is an unwritten rule in several countries that all countries can only cooperate with two countries for their exports, and if a third country wants to buy it, it can only buy from those two countries.
In fact, Zhen Zhen really didn't understand this, her idea at the time was that as long as the soap was born, it would inevitably cause a great response, then the problems behind would follow, as a little woman, she would definitely not be able to settle it, so she had to find a strong backer.
"This Zhen Hao has calculated everything, and he doesn't have to worry that the things he produces are not marketable, nor that his things are coveted.
What a good thought and calculation! King Rui had to sigh again that this Zhen Hao was thoughtful and clear-sighted. And this person must also be quite sensitive to politics.
"Is there anything else special about the other shops?" Since you can make things that the world doesn't have, then other shops shouldn't be as simple as ordinary shops, right?
"I don't know about the other shops, but the manager said that the things that come out of his shop can be said to be unique in the Great Xia Dynasty. Including the restaurant to be opened later, it will also be a special existence. ”
"Xiao, are we going to take a gamble?"
Baili Xiao nodded, "That's what I mean, our secret mountain villa has been vacant for a long time, and those people should also come out to do things." ”
Several people made detailed plans about the soap.
