Chapter 993: Establishing Cooperation
Seeing the mountains of money, what about the corrupt officials and the implicated families, if the Tang State continues to be corrupt like this, he is doing things that are beneficial to the Tang State.
Li Shimin thinks so, as for what Li Yuan thinks, it is not within his scope of consideration, the eldest grandson Wuji and others counted the collected money and collected enough money to get enough money.
The eldest grandson Wuji is in a much better mood, and it is better to have someone buy it now than to let the eldest grandson's family pay so much money.
It didn't take long for Li De to see the battle-damaged Wuji again in the Youzhou City Guard's Mansion, this time the eldest grandson Wuji was very confident, and he really didn't hesitate to take out the two million Guan said.
"His Royal Highness King Qin agrees to invest in this project is really visionary, the equipment needs time to produce, and the relevant technical information can be brought back first, and then I will send relevant personnel to go back with you and him to be responsible for the component bicycle workshop, so that you have no worries."
The eldest grandson Wuji already knows the benefits of bicycles, and he still has some ideas for coming this time.
"Dadudu, I don't know if we can cooperate, as far as we know, the bicycles here in Youzhou are in short supply, if it wasn't for the Dadu Governor last time, I'm afraid we will have to wait a long time for the bicycles we bought, I don't know if the bicycles we produce can be sold."
The eldest grandson Wuji is looking forward to it, the main market for the current purchasing power is in Youzhou, who makes the people here very rich.
"Absolutely, but only if we use the iron we provide."
The eldest grandson Wuji knew that Li Dedu had been with him about the national iron smelting technology before, but the technology could not buy it at all, so purchasing the materials here and taking them back for production would be equivalent to increasing the cost.
The consequence is that the cost of the bicycles they produce is higher, and it is impossible to get a price discount in Youzhou.
The eldest grandson Wuji already knew Li De's purpose, and he had to agree for the sake of the market.
In fact, this does not have much impact on them, which is equivalent to earning a processing fee for processing materials, but it can also make money quickly.
If they open sales in other regions is the time for them to decide the price, according to the current situation of short supply, the market space is still very large, so there is no panic at all.
"Of course."
The eldest grandson Wuji finished negotiating the business and left with good news.
According to the intelligence of the red peony, Li De has long been concerned about what Li Shimin is doing, especially in the recent time, Li Shimin's troubles have been a bit big, which has made the various forces of the Tang Kingdom restless.
It turns out that the cause of the matter is so simple, when there are enough benefits, then you can do it unscrupulously.
Li De said that he liked it very much, after all, he made money, two million yuan is not a small number, enough to update the equipment of the blacksmith workshop, and what he needs more than money is the iron ore provided by Wagang, but unfortunately they still provide money.
"Governor, will the opening of the bicycle workshop in Wagang affect our own bicycle industry?"
Wei Li was very worried, he was more concerned about the iron purchased from Youzhou if it was used to build weapons.
"Probably, but don't forget that they value the benefits of bicycles, and how much benefit can they get from making them into weapons?"
How much does it cost for Li Shimin's 500,000 soldiers and horses to make weapons out of iron for the production of bicycles, which is impossible to achieve with the current situation of Wagang, otherwise he will not invest in the bicycle industry.
Their main purpose is still to make money.
As for the two million yuan, it depends on their production capacity and sales capacity, and if you add a production line to make bicycles, it will be more beneficial for Youzhou.
The concept that the bicycle is a means of transportation and that time is money is worth implementing.
Just as the utilization rate of tricycles in Youzhou City is very good now, when the demand for horses in the city decreases, more war horses can be liberated from transportation work.
It can be used to increase the size of the caravan or to replenish it to the vanguard.
On the way back, the eldest grandson Wuji directly followed the technicians of the bicycle workshop in the same carriage, and there were endless topics about the production of the workshop.
The technicians are very professional, from site selection to construction to installation, equipment production and other processes can provide consultation, the service is naturally charged, but as a large order of two million yuan, it will stay in Wagang City within six months from the start of the factory.
It's just that the six-month salary is paid by Wagang City, and the technicians will come back after the construction of the workshop is completed.
Doing business in Youzhou is very honest, especially when it comes to large-scale projects, technicians will know everything he can say, in fact, what he says is what he knows, and he can't say what he doesn't know.
Otherwise, why are there expatriates, these technicians are professional sales.
The eldest grandson Wuji has been settling accounts all the way, and the most important thing is that a large amount of iron ore is needed for processing and production, and these things also need an iron-smelting workshop to refine iron ore.
After everyone returned to Wagang, Li Shimin also entertained the technicians, and the workshops to be built in the next six months all relied on the guidance of the technicians.
However, Li Shimin's interest in steam equipment is not only to process bicycles, but also to learn more about the technology through technicians.
Like the railroad car that can be moved.
This time, the eldest grandson Wuji went to Youzhou to experience the railroad car firsthand, and also stayed in the half-city inn for three days, most of the time to understand the commercial operation of the inn.
"Your Highness, in six months, we can take Liao for processing, and we have negotiated with Youzhou, but the material cost needs to be paid in advance."
The eldest grandson Wuji went to Youzhou this time to discuss cooperation and signed a cooperation agreement, the premise of both sides is to sign a friendly relationship, and the agreement is still valid under the premise of ensuring a friendly relationship.
Bicycles produced in Wagang can be sold in Youzhou, and the eldest grandson Wuji has negotiated and rented a shop in Youzhou's commercial street as a sales store.
Things went very smoothly, Li Shimin wanted to build the workshop as soon as possible, and he was still very anxious to wait for six months.
After the spring ploughing, the art exhibition also began, and the original thousands of paintings were successively painted by painters from all over the world after the previous publicity, and finally Li De decided to display all the paintings to improve the artistic atmosphere for the whole people to appreciate.
The exhibition hall area in the early stage is large enough, although it is simpler but does not affect the exhibition, just in time for the end of spring ploughing, many people have free time, and the visit activities are free, but also attract a lot of people to come.
From a few thousand paintings to tens of thousands, it takes a long time for people to look at them, and even a day may not be able to see them carefully.
