46. Two profiteers
Qian Bi was born a little shorter than Gao Zixin, covered in flesh, and looked very funny when he knelt on the ground, especially the round buttocks.
He has been like this since he was a child, chubby, so when he used to read to Gao Zixin as a companion, Gao Zixin was depressed and always teased him, so that Qian Bi still has a very powerful psychological shadow now, and when he saw Gao Zixin, he felt that it was not good.
Gao Zixin smiled and asked him to get up: "Okay, okay, don't kneel, hurry up." Rejoice, sit down. ”
Huanxi immediately moved a chair and asked Qian Bi to sit down, Qian Bi stood trembling and sat trembling, still up and down in his heart. In the past, when he was still Gao Zixin's companion, he dared to directly ask Gao Zixin what he was thinking, but now that the monarch and the minister are different, some words can't be said casually.
Gao Zixin was still waiting for him to ask a question, but when he didn't speak, he sat on the chair with a cower, and suddenly his mood was a little complicated.
Qian Bi is not the same as before!
He raised his eyebrows and held the colorful glass bottle: "Qian Bi, what do you think of this thing?" ”
Qian Bi was still a little nervous at first, afraid that Gao Zixin's stomach was bursting with bad water again, but as soon as Gao Zixin spoke, his attention was once again on the glass bottle.
Then his eyes couldn't be turned away, and his gaze was almost greedily glued to it, straight and straight, and it was getting brighter and brighter, as if the disciple had seen a stunning beauty.
Qian Bi looked at it, and almost drooled, and honestly flattered him: "Your Majesty's things are naturally the best in the world." ”
He didn't know if it was the best anyway, but this thing was indeed the most delicate and brilliant glass he had ever seen, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was ingenious.
Gao Zixin was quite satisfied when he heard this, and asked him again: "Then what do you think is the value of this thing?" ”
Huh? Gao Zixin: What does this mean? Could it be that he's going to sell this thing?
Qian Bi guessed in his heart, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. If he buys it and sells it...... Hey, hey, hey......
He couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it, and his smile was particularly obscene.
Gao Zixin couldn't help frowning, where did this little fat man go? What emoji is this? Aren't you afraid that I will cure him for a crime of deception?
Fortunately, Qian didn't wake up quickly, and his expression became stern, and he asked tentatively: "Majesty xià means ......"
Qian Bi also suddenly sounded who was the person in front of him, he was used to being cheated when he was a child, and he didn't dare to take it lightly at this time.
Gao Zixin didn't bother to go around in circles with him again, and directly said his plan: "I plan to open a multi-treasure building in the capital to sell all kinds of rare and exotic products, such as this glass ware, what do you think?" ”
"This ......" Qian Bi's eyes widened in surprise, he heard right? Gao Zixin, as the king of a country, actually wants to open a store to do business!
Obviously, when he was a child, Gao Zixin didn't have this hobby!
Qian Bi was shocked, but he didn't dare to rashly say no, and he struggled for a long time before squeezing out a sentence: "Can Your Majesty sue the grass people for the reason?" ”
Gao Zixin's eyes looked at him with some disgust: "Isn't Qian Yong, the head of the household, your father?" Don't you know that now the treasury is empty? I just want to build a Tibetan museum, I want to train a soldier, I don't have any money, how can I do if I don't want to make some way to make money? ”
Qian Bi stopped talking for a while, he still knew what Gao Zixin had done recently. For example, businessmen are allowed to donate money and grain in exchange for qualifications for the imperial examination, and then use the money and grain collected as local military salaries or something.
Obviously, the treasury is too poor, and Gao Zixin has been forced to have no choice.
He listened to it at the time, and his mood was also a little complicated, after all, they had studied together before, although the time was not long, and the memories left were not very good, but there was always a little friendship, and he always remembered the palace His Royal Highness who was as delicate as a little girl.
So as soon as he thought about Gao Zixin's difficulties, his blood surged, and he blurted out: "If there are more such strange things, they will definitely not worry about sales." Majesty can find an experienced shopkeeper management store, as long as you promote it before selling, you will be able to sell this item at a sky-high price. ”
Gao Zixin smiled with satisfaction: "You are right, so I decided that you will be the prime minister of this matter, how about it?" ”
Qian Bi's face suddenly collapsed: "What...... What the? Your Majesty, this must not be! How can the grass people take on this great responsibility! It's better to choose another way! The grass people heard that there are a lot of talents in this area in the household department! This ginger is still old and spicy, and the grass people are not enough compared to them! ”
Gao Zixin's eyes gradually narrowed, and his tone became a little dangerous: "What? You're so reluctant to do things for me? ”
Qian Bi wanted to cry and knelt on the ground without tears: "The grass people don't dare!" The grass people are just afraid that they will mess things up and delay their big plans, please think twice! ”
As he spoke, he simply belittled himself severely, the words were ready-made, and his father and eldest brother in the family disliked him all day long, and he heard those words so that his ears were calloused, and he opened his mouth at this time.
Gao Zixin became a little impatient when he heard this, and simply interrupted him: "Okay, these words were said by your father and brother, right?" You just use it to fool me like this, is it true that you don't want to worry about me? ”
Qian Bi wanted to cry even more without tears, he knew that Gao Zixin would have nothing good to do with him!
He doesn't think that Gao Zixin knows how to make money, and if he gives him this kind of big thing, it's just a matter of doing it, what if he messes up? What's more, this shop belongs to Gao Zixin, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him at that time! His father and brother alone don't know how to clean him up!
The more Qian Bi thought about it, the more he felt that this was a chore, and it must not be touched!
So his mind spun again, and he began to wonder how he could push it off.
It's just that before he could come up with a good solution, Gao Zixin spoke again: "If you can't think of a good excuse, you might as well listen to my plan first?" ”
Qian Bi could only be obedient: "Your Majesty, please speak." ”
Gao Zixin said: "I didn't just want to open such a shop on a whim, I hope to open this shop all over the world, and this shop is a signboard specially supplied by the Internal Construction Bureau, and the utensils sold in it will also be stamped with the supervision of the Internal Construction Bureau." Do you think it can make money every day? ”
This must be possible!
Qian Bi was suddenly tempted, he knew the name of the internal bureau! This department was specially created by the first emperor on a whim, and it brought together almost the best craftsmen in the world, so that everything that came out of the internal bureau could be sold for a sky-high price once it was taken outside!
It's a pity that the emperor rarely rewarded him, and it was not easy for the minister to get half of it, so some people took risks and started the illegal act of stealing things in the palace!
Almost every major family in the capital secretly hides one or two things from the internal bureau.
If Gao Zixin really wants to sell the things produced by the internal bureau openly, then the people who come here are afraid that they don't know how many!
However, Qian Bi quickly thought of a question, and he said worriedly: "But Your Majesty, if someone impeaches ...... time then?"
Gao Zixin had already thought of a way, and he didn't worry about this problem at all, and said in a particularly unfathomable manner: "Don't worry, I have my own way to do this." All you have to say is whether you are willing to do these things for Prime Minister me. ”
Qian Bi struggled for a while, but after all, he still couldn't resist the huge attraction of the internal situation: "Your Majesty has a life, don't dare to disobey!" This errand, the grass people took it! ”
Gao Zixin was completely satisfied: "Okay, you take this brand, in the future, you will be my commercial premier, and Li Ying, the head of the Internal Construction Bureau, will be considered a colleague, you will be responsible for Yiying's external business, you don't need to go to court on weekdays, you only need to enter the palace to report to me on the accounts." ”
Qian Bi took an iron plaque that Huanxi held, and saw that on one side was the four big characters of "Prime Minister of Commerce", on one side was his name, and at the bottom there was a small seal that could be used as a seal.
After taking a closer look, he carefully put the sign on his body, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart - it's not even golden, His Majesty is really stingy!
Gao Zixin instructed again: "After you leave the palace, you will choose the shop and decorate it properly, and I will give you half a month to prepare, can you do it?" ”
Half a month? Qian Bi was silent, this time was a little tight, but he thought about the future gains, so he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, half a month is half a month, the minister must handle this matter well!" ”
He also wanted to see how much money he could make once the shop opened.
But suddenly, he remembered a question-
Hey? No, why hadn't he heard of the Inner Bureau creating colorful glass before? Could it be the latest research?
Qian Bi asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, it seems that the craftsmanship of the glaze craftsmen in this internal bureau has improved by leaps and bounds?" ”
Gao Zixin looked at him with a smile: "You know their craftsmanship. ”
Qian Bi's face suddenly froze, and he was annoyed in his heart.
It's over, he's saying the wrong thing! The things of the internal bureau are exclusively for the inner court, and only a very small number of them were given to the ministers by the emperor, how can outsiders know so well the craftsmanship of the craftsmen of the internal bureau!
He sneered: "Minister...... The minister just guessed. ”
Gao Zixin didn't think about embarrassing him in this matter, anyway, those old accounts, he would settle them one by one sooner or later. For today's plan, it is to open the shop and earn more money, so that we can recruit troops and cultivate more henchmen.
So he said: "Remember, the shop has at least two floors, and it is delicately decorated, and it will not only serve male customers in the future, but also female customers." In addition, you can find some well-written scripts, and if there are any high-quality products in the store in the future, let them write more stories in advance and tell them to others. ”
The more Qian Bi listened, the wider his eyes widened.
Hey? Majesty Xià actually wants to do a woman's business!
Huh? How can this be? He hadn't thought of it before!
Gao Zixin couldn't help laughing when he looked stupid, and then introduced him to a lot of methods. What is "raising the price", what is "auction", what is "hunger marketing", what is "advertising effect", the more Qian Bi listens, the brighter his eyes become, and he also draws inferences from one case to another and puts forward a lot of his own opinions.
The two of them, you look at me and I look at you, laughing like foxes, as if they have seen a lot of gold ingots flying towards them with ridiculous little wings.
It's a pity that soon the joy became sad.
