Chapter 23: Making money
"Mother-in-law, what are General Mo's main enemies?" Li Anyue's heart moved when she heard this, maybe there were her own enemies among these enemies.
"The old body doesn't know very well, but I heard that there is mainly a different surname Wang Yu Wentao, because the general is usually contradictory to him in politics. There is also General Qin, the two are usually not in harmony, the general is stronger than him everywhere, and I heard that he also likes his wife, so he has a grudge against the general. Prime Minister Sun Zhi, he has always been at odds with the general, and has openly accused the general in front of the emperor many times, and ......"
Yu Wentao is the only king with a different surname in the Tianyang Dynasty, because his ancestors have meritorious service in protecting the first king, and he has always been valued by the first king, and he was named the king of Chang, and he also has military power in his hands, and even the current emperor will be jealous of him for three points, as long as he does not do too much, he just turns a blind eye. Qin Shiqing is a general of Tianyang Kingdom, since the age of fifteen, he has followed his father to learn how to kill the enemy and fight, and now he is also a great achievement, and his daughter Qin Shiyu has also become the crown princess, and her status should not be underestimated. If it is said that the two people in front of him hold the military power, Prime Minister Sun Zhi is deeply appreciated by the emperor and has the support of the emperor.
Li Anyue heard her mother-in-law list more than a dozen generals' enemies, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva, obediently, this father of mine is really not a vegetarian, and he has offended all the important ministers in the court.
"What about the mother-in-law, what about the people from the Xu family?" Li Anyue suddenly remembered that if her mother was the daughter of the Xu family, her mother died, and what happened to the people over there.
"After the Xu family's accident in Mofu, their business gradually plummeted, and finally the family moved overnight, and no one knows where they went."
Li Anyue took a deep breath, the relationship is really complicated, if the bankruptcy of the Xu family is also related to the enemy, then the lives of the Xu family are also worried. And such a big thing happened, and it was gradually suppressed, it seems that this person's power is really not ordinarily great.
"Oh, grandma, miss, you've been discussing these things for almost a day, and I can't stand it anymore." Ke'er couldn't help but complain when she saw Li Anyue's serious thinking.
"Little girl, you just can't be idle." Li Anyue nodded her forehead.
"Miss, do you know that when I went out to get medicine this morning, everyone was discussing that there was a fairy-like figure last night, and at first I was thinking about who it was, but as soon as I saw you come in, I knew that person must be you!" After getting Li Anyue's connivance, Ke'er began to bring out the gossip she had heard.
"Miss, don't you know, now the ladies in the city and the top brands of the brothels have imitated your dress, and some cloth villages have even made a fortune by taking advantage of this."
"So exaggerated?" This was something Li Anyue didn't expect, he didn't expect that he could cause such a big effect, and as soon as the small bulb of melon seeds lit up, he couldn't help but think of a good idea.
"Ke'er, let's go to the teahouse and find a place to sit, you go and find me a famous painter in Tianyang City to come back, and then spread the news in the city......" Li Anyue thought about the plan and talked to Ke'er, and Ke'er immediately ran out excitedly.
Anyway, now that I am short of money, I can't let others earn the money in vain.
In a small private room in the Tianxiang Teahouse, Ke'er brought an old man who looked like an old scholar, and at the same time, a news was rapidly circulating among people.
"I heard that the immortal appeared last night!"
"I heard that someone wanted to sell the portrait of the Heavenly Immortal, and the women of Tianyang City rushed to buy it."
"Not only women, but men also buy, women buy for the beautiful clothes, but men buy for a glimpse of the beauty."
"I heard that this painting is not cheap, a hundred taels of silver a piece."
"What do you know, in the eyes of those rich and noble sons, this hundred taels of silver is nothing."
……
In the teahouse, Li Anyue asked the painter to draw herself, of course, with a face towel, Li Anyue didn't want to be noticed wherever she went. Then Li Anyue asked the painter to modify the clothes under his own guidance, adding some styles of ancient clothing that he saw in modern times and did not have in this era, and painted more than a dozen portraits in two days, all of which were women wearing veils, all wearing white skirts, but the styles were varied, including small jasper type, everyone girl type, fluttering fairy type, and charming and moving type. Li Anyue instructed the painter to paint more than a dozen faceless portraits, paid the painter a honorarium with satisfaction, and began the next step.
Li Anyue, who changed into men's clothes, took Ke'er, who also changed into men's clothes, and stepped into the first cloth village in Tianyang City, and the guys in the store looked at them and didn't look like the sons of rich and noble families, and they didn't pay much attention to them.
"Please come out of your boss." Li Anyue didn't take it to heart and said the purpose directly.
"Our boss isn't everyone's go, who are you?" The guy looked at their posture and lazily refused.
"You don't need to know who I am, you just tell your boss that you have a good business for him, and you won't lose money."
As soon as the man heard that it was a business matter, and he couldn't do it, he looked at them suspiciously and ran to the back room to ask for instructions. After a while, he changed his smiling face and respectfully came out and invited the two of them in.
The two of them walked along a corridor with their fellow men to a courtyard where all kinds of flowers were planted on all sides, leaving only a winding stone path in the middle leading to the central pavilion, in which some people were drinking tea.
"Come on, you two, our host is waiting." The man made a gesture of please and walked out.
Li Anyue walked to the pavilion, and the man in the pavilion smiled when he saw them coming, and stretched out his hand to ask them to sit down. Li Anyue saw that the man was only about thirty years old, and his appearance was gentle and elegant, and he didn't see the smell of copper from a businessman at all.
"In Xia Su Mufeng, I don't know the surname of the son?" Su Mufeng also spoke slowly and logically.
"My surname is Li, Boss Su, I don't like to beat around the bush, so I also said straight to the point, there is a good business to cooperate with Boss Su today." Li Anyue was not polite and said directly.
"Business? Li Gongzi doesn't look like a businessman. Su Mufeng didn't buy it, and was still drinking tea slowly.
"Boss Su doesn't look like it, isn't he also the boss of Tianyang No. 1 Cloth Village?" Li Anyue raised her eyebrows and responded.
"Heh, that's what Li Gongzi said. So let's ask Li Gongzi to talk about this business, which is said to be a sure profit. Su Mufeng seemed to be a little interested, put down the teacup and looked at her.
Li Anyue motioned to Ke'er to show the portrait to Su Mufeng, Su Mufeng was fascinated after the result, this world really looks at faces, Li Anyue secretly congratulated himself on the appearance given by God in this life.
"I wonder if Boss Su has heard the rumors of this immortal?"
"Is the woman in this portrait the heavenly fairy? Two days ago, there was a lot of uproar in Tianyang City, I also said that those people listen to the wind is the rain, today I saw the portrait as people said, although it is veiled, but the eyes and the posture are really worthy of the word fairy, this costume seems to be unprecedented, but it is beautiful, but unfortunately the painter's brushwork is not very good, too much attention to the figure but ignore these clothes. Su Mufeng did not hesitate to praise himself at all, and he was not as coy as other rich sons, and insisted on making some so-called elegant poems to attach his elegance.
"Cough, I believe that Boss Su has heard about the portrait in the past few days, and I can't hide it, the news is being released, and this time I came to Boss Su just to find an opportunity for cooperation." The first time Li Anyue heard others evaluate herself in person, she couldn't help but blush.
"Li Gongzi is quick to talk and unequivocal, but why should I cooperate with you?" Su Mufeng came back to his senses from the portrait, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile.
"Needless to say, Boss Su also knows that this is a good opportunity to make money for nothing, and all Boss Su has to do is to provide a place to sell portraits."
"Oh? It sounds good, but Su doesn't seem to lack that bit of silver. ”
"In recent years, the economic development of Tianyang Country has been getting better and better, needless to say, Boss Su, the first cloth village boss, also knows that there are more and more cloth villages in Yangcheng today, and the momentum of several seems to be catching up with your cloth village. I can guarantee that there is only this one in the whole Tianyang Kingdom, and I believe that Boss Su can also see its value. This business is not only to bring benefits to Boss Su in terms of profits, but also has the opportunity to become the first cloth village to make these clothes, Boss Su's cloth village name will also be more resounding, the importance of doing business name must not be said to Boss Su below, Boss Su needs this opportunity to stabilize the position of the cloth village, and I need this opportunity to make some small money to live, which is beneficial to both parties. Of course, if Boss Su doesn't want to cooperate, he will naturally find another home. Li Anyue was not in a hurry, and took a sip of tea slowly.
"Why are there no faces on this portrait?" Su Mufeng was also interested at this time.
"There is a contrast to be interesting. Of course, this portrait with faces is for those who love beauty, presumably the rich boy in Tianyang City is not short of these hundreds of taels, and these are for those daughters who want to get beautiful clothes but don't want to spend a lot of money. ”
"Li Gongzi is really shrewd. I don't know what kind of cooperation method this cooperation is? At this time, Su Mufeng slowly showed the businessman's careful calculation.
"This is a contract, please take a look at Boss Su. There is only one requirement for cooperation, that is, the profit from the sale of the portrait, I will divide seventy percent of Boss Su into three percent, but as for Boss Su's other ways of making money, I will not interfere with it. It's a sure-fire business. ”
"Such a good thing, why is Li Gongzi so generous?" Su Mufeng looked at the simple and clear content of the contract, and was a little hesitant. Therefore, people in the world are worried that you have bad intentions when they give sweetness, and they complain that you are too vicious when they give bitterness, which is cheap.
"Boss Su, don't think too much, I'm not a greedy person, the reason why I put forward such a cooperation is also forced by life, if the life problem is solved, naturally I don't need too much money." Li Anyue shook her head.
In this way, Li Gongzi is not like a businessman, but like a gentleman. Su admired! Although Su is a businessman, he also loves to make friends with cheerful people, and he is willing to become friends when he sees Li Gongzi as a refreshing person, and he is willing to become friends, I don't know if Li Gongzi can appreciate his face? Su Mufeng smiled and took the teacup and toasted her.
"Don't you dare to be a gentleman, since you are a friend, what do you say about appreciating your face or not?" Li Anyue was not polite, and drank it all happily.
