Chapter 121: What is Commission? (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)
I wonder if the Prime Minister and the Overseer are interested? ”
Out of the palace gate, Guo Dan suddenly bowed to Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale and asked.
Zhang Cheng was slightly stunned and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Zhang Whale just glanced at Guo Dan curiously.
Guo Dan hurriedly said: "It's to invest in my tooth shop." ”
Zhang Cheng's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Zhang Whale with slanted eyes.
Zhang Whale said lightly: "I'm not as rich as you......." ”
Guo Dan hurriedly said: "The overseer is too modest, just by virtue of the status and fame of the prime minister and the overseer, if you don't think the small shop is shabby, then it is my Guo Dan's blessing, where do you dare to let the two of you pay money." ”
The implication is that as long as you nod your head, you will be given shares immediately.
This is obviously showing favor to Zhang Whale, after all, Zhang Whale has helped him so much, if Zhang Whale hadn't been in the way, he would have to spend a lot of energy to specialize in this matter.
The reason why he didn't find a chance to show favor to Zhang Whale before was because he needed an enemy to poke this matter out, but if he continued to oppose Zhang Whale, it was obviously not in his own interests, you must know that he had offended those officials, and he had to quickly show favor to Zhang Whale and stabilize this side first.
Zhang Whale groaned a little and said, "Let's talk about it." ”
With a swing of the dust, he walked straight forward.
Zhang Cheng just glanced at Guo Dan with a smile in his eyes, and said, "Today, our family has been running for you for a day, so I won't send you." ”
With that, he went down the stairs.
He is also very greedy, when Guo Dan said it, he was already tempted, but since Guo Dan said it in front of the two of them, Zhang Whale didn't agree, and he didn't agree immediately, he also had to take a look.
At least he didn't refuse. Guo Dan turned around and looked at the two big eunuchs, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
At this time, a father-in-law suddenly came out of it and said, "Guo Dan, Your Majesty ordered me to send you out of the palace." ”
Guo Dan was slightly stunned and said, "There is Gonggong Lao." ”
After yesterday's lesson, he knew that here, it was necessary to spend money to make people do things, so he grabbed the money bag on his waist with his hand, and he suddenly remembered that he had given a month's living expenses yesterday, and today he didn't have time to ask Kou Liansha for living expenses.
The father-in-law also seemed to notice it, but he didn't care, and laughed a few times and said, "Let's go." ”
"Yes."
Guo Dan nodded, he just couldn't move tens of thousands of taels, but now he can't even take out a few taels, it's really embarrassing.
Walking halfway, Guo Dan suddenly looked left and right for a while, and sighed: "This... This doesn't seem to be my usual way out of the palace? ”
The eunuch said, "Oh, there is no curfew today, so we have to go out through a different door." ”
"Oh."
Guo Dan nodded, thinking that there were really many rules in this palace.
After walking for a while, they suddenly came to a small attic, and Guo Dan looked at the eunuch with a little vigilance.
"You wait here for a moment." The eunuch said that, and entered the building.
What's going on? It can't be that Zhang Whale is planning to take revenge on me! Guo Dan looked at the small attic, and he didn't know if it was a psychological effect, and suddenly felt that this small attic was a burst of yin qi.
After a while, the eunuch came out and said, "Go in, Your Majesty wants to see you." ”
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty? ”
Guo Dan was shocked, but thought in his heart, it seems that this emperor is even more greedy than I imagined, and he can't even wait for a night.
"Please."
The eunuch turned sideways, gave up a position, and stretched out his hand to signal.
"Many... Thanks a lot. ”
Guo Dan bowed his hand and entered the attic.
It was getting late at this time, and the candles had been lit in the attic, and under the flickering candlelight, I saw a fat man in purple clothes sitting inside, with a kind smile on his fat face.
It's not who Wanli is.
"The grass people knock on your majesty----!"
"Excuse me."
Wanli waved his hand and said with a smile: "Are you surprised?" ”
Guo Dan pretended to smile and said, "Back to Your Majesty's words, the grass people are... I felt a little surprised. ”
Wanli nodded with a smile and explained, "I have been thinking about your words for a long time, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that it makes sense, so I can't help but ask you again." ”
Guo Dan looked at Wanli "unknowingly".
Wanli laughed and said: "It's what you said that you can't put the silver in the warehouse, you have to make the silver move, and you can't put the eggs in a basket." ”
"Oh."
Guo Dan came back to his senses and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." ”
Although he is an amateur, unlike Kou Shouxin, who is from a professional background, he can still perform this kind of long-anticipated dialogue. Having said that, in fact, every businessman is a good actor, even those street vendors, who can make ten dollars for a piece of clothing, but they can tell you that he is really selling at a loss.
Wanli sighed and said with a little embarrassment: "I won't tell you, actually... Actually, I am what you just said, and I will only keep the silver in the warehouse. ”
Oh, you're the idiot!
Guo Dan suddenly glanced at Wanli, and then quickly knelt down, and said in fear: "The grass people lost their words, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”
"He who does not know is not guilty."
Wanli waved his hand and said, "Get up." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
When Guo Dan stood up, Wanli sighed again: "As you said, my inner mansion is often beyond its means, and it is overstretched, so that I feel a little powerless to hold a canonization ceremony." ”
This is actually not very fake, although his inner government is never short of money, after all, he usually extorts, and likes to raid his house, and gets a lot of money back, but the Ming Dynasty court has indeed been relatively poor, but this does not mean that the whole country is poor, after all, the commodity economy of the Ming Dynasty is relatively developed, no matter how poor it is, it will not be poor, but this money is neither in the hands of the court, nor in the hands of the people, but also in the hands of the emperor's relatives, dignitaries and large landowners, otherwise, Guo Dan can not get 300,000 taels at once.
Therefore, how to make the treasury abundant is also a headache for every emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Wanli is naturally no exception, but Wanli is a little different from other Ming Dynasty emperors, that is, he is purely making money for himself, and I don't know if he was poor when he was a child.
Speaking of this, Wanli suddenly looked at Guo Dan.
Guo Dan blinked, and Mu Ne said, "Your Majesty doesn't want the grass people to help Your Majesty manage money?" ”
Wanli nodded and said, "I do have this intention. ”
Guo Dan said in fear: "Your Majesty is surrounded by talents, and this kind of thing is not the turn of the grass people." ”
Of course he couldn't just say yes, that's too obvious.
Wanli sighed: "Although there are many talents around me, there are really few who can manage money. ”
Those talents in the DPRK and China, but they all came out of reading the books of sages, and managing finances may be okay, but if you want to talk about financial management, it is really enough, in fact, Zhang Juzheng's changes also have many shortcomings, and some of them are still very fatal, if they are not improved in time, there will also be big problems, but now that he has passed away, I don't know if he sees these loopholes, and there are also solutions to them.
"That's it!"
Guo Dan frowned.
Wanli said: "What? Don't you want to share your worries? ”
Guo Dan hurriedly said: "Of course not, Your Majesty is as kind to the grass people, and you trust the grass people so much, the grass people are willing to smear your Majesty's liver and brain, and they will not hesitate." ”
"Good, good! I didn't see the wrong person. ”
Wanli nodded with a smile and asked again, "Then what do you think?" ”
Guo Dan groaned a little and said, "Since Your Majesty wants to manage money, it is naturally not appropriate to invest money in the grass people's tooth shop." ”
Wanli was curious: "Why is this?" ”
Guo Dan replied: "Because the income of the grass people's tooth shop is still too small, and there is a risk of losing money, the grass people must help His Majesty think of a foolproof strategy, that is, it must be a steady profit." ”
"Sure to make money or not to lose money?"
Wanli's eyes lit up, he liked to listen to this very much, and asked: "What is the perfect strategy, you say to listen to it?" ”
"Uh... The grass farmer hadn't thought of it yet. Guo said lightly.
Wanli was a little disappointed, and asked again: "Although it's good to make sure you don't lose money, I don't know how much you can earn?" ”
Guo Dan sneered: "It depends on how much money Your Majesty gives to Yu Caomin to take care of it." ”
Wanli pondered for a moment and asked, "How much do you think is appropriate?" ”
Guo Dan thought for a while, and said, "It can't be higher than one million taels." ”
A million taels?
Wanli couldn't wait to smash the chair under his ass into Guo Dan's face, as soon as he talked about money, this kid became hateful, not cute at all, the Ming Dynasty's treasury income was only four million taels of silver a year, and you opened your mouth for one million taels, isn't this Cheng Cheng deliberately embarrassed his emperor, and asked: "Why is this?" ”
Guo Dan pondered a little and said: "For example, there are only ten customers, and they can only buy ten commodities at most, so the money invested in the production of eleven commodities, the excess one is a waste, and there is no need." But in the range of less than one hundred taels, the more the better, because the more money, the more things can be done, and the fewer restrictions there are, on the contrary, many ideas that can make a lot of money, because the money is too little, can only give up, which is also the reason why the grass people want to expand their teeth as soon as possible. ”
Wanli hadn't thought about taking hundreds of thousands of taels out before, what he hoped was that Guo Dan would be able to do tricks, give Guo Dan 10,000 taels, and he would come out with hundreds of thousands of taels, but now that he has words, 300,000 taels, he is ashamed to say it, after all, the other party opened his mouth to be a million taels, nodded slightly, and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, in this way, wait until you come up with a way!" ”
This time he took out hundreds of thousands of taels, he was also a little distressed, and he had to be cautious and cautious.
"The grass people will not disappoint Your Majesty." Guo Dan naturally won't fight for it, he wants to pretend that he is passive.
Wanli nodded with a smile, and then advised: "Remember, today's conversation must not reveal the slightest rumor. ”
"The grass people remember."
"You quit."
Guo Dan was not in a hurry to retire, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten something?" ”
"What's the matter?" Wanli was stunned.
"It's just... It's the grass farmer's commission. ”
Wanli's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Do you want to give a commission?" ”
"Uh..."
Wanli's innocent little eyes made Guo Dan, a cold-blooded capitalist, feel that his demands were very excessive, and he didn't know what to say with his mouth open.
Fortunately, Wanli reacted in time, Guo Dan is not a businessman, he is just a businessman, this kind of operation Wanli has encountered for the first time, coughed lightly, and said: "Don't worry, I will not treat you badly." ”
Exercise! What kind of disadvantage is not disadvantage, you just give the commission on the line, in a word.
Guo Dan secretly despised it in his heart.
If other emperors say this, there will be a big reward, but Wanli's words, if there is no accident, he will definitely have to repay the debt, judging from his tone just now, he didn't think about giving a commission.
