Dusk motioned Lao Li to sit too, and said to Li Li: "You should have seen it, I basically didn't take care of the Zhongshan Workshop, the production and transportation are Lao Li's responsibility, with the expansion of the scale, Lao Li is gradually too busy alone, so he will gradually become the person in charge of production, and the specific production and transportation, there will be talents trained by Lao Li, which has basically formed a complete system, what we really have to worry about is the exposure of the formula, so for the workers involved in the batching process, high salaries are required. And it is necessary to sign a confidentiality agreement with legal effect, and once it is found, the workshop has the right to hold it accountable. ”

"But there is a problem, the cost of transporting this finished product is too high. ”

Twilight didn't even think about it, "Who said we're going to transport?" ”

Li Li was puzzled.

Dusk smiled and said: "You give out the land and labor, and I will contribute the capital, technology and management experience, and technical talents to build a workshop in Annan, and the raw materials are also purchased in Annan." ”

Li Li's eyes lit up, "This can greatly reduce the cost and reduce the price." ”

"Don't be too happy, I have conditions attached, I will build a factory in Annan and authorize you to sell, you need to help my Times Firm obtain the right to mine minerals in Annam." ”

Li Li gasped, "It's difficult, Hu Hancang and his son won't agree." ”

Dusk shook his head, "They can't be around for long, in fact, I just said in passing the right to mine minerals, you won't be needed at all at that time, what you can do is to use your influence to let my Times Commercial Bank run safely in the mines of Annan, and not be opposed and destroyed by the people of Annan, I believe that you Li people can do this." ”

Li Li was silent for a long time before he sighed: "Will I become a sinner in Annan?" ”

The dusk is dark, Li Taizu is really not a person who is easy to fool.

hurriedly said: "It depends on what you think, if Annan only loses some minerals, but allows the people of the whole country to enjoy the light of prosperity like the people of the Ming Dynasty, do you think you are a sinner of Annan or a hero of Annan?" ”

Li Li remembered what he had seen and heard in Yingtian, and the prosperous Ming Dynasty made him dizzy, if Annan could be as brilliant as the Ming Dynasty, sacrificing a little mineral resources would be a great thing for the people.

Quite moved.

"What about sales?" ”

Dusk smiled, "In terms of sales, wait until you go back to the city, I will take you to the Times Trading House to meet Shen Xili, he will go into detail until you roll out the situation in Annan, this is actually not in a hurry, and it will take time to wait for the workshop to be established and operated, and it will take time to prepare certain goods, and your top priority at the moment is to help establish the workshop, lease and buy shops throughout Annan, and prepare to open, which will take about a year or two, and after a year or two, the situation in Annan will also be clear, and then it will be the time for you to show your skills." ”

Li Li was overjoyed, "Good! ”

After communicating some details in detail, and then verbally agreeing on the contract, the two sides had a "peaceful" and "frank" communication in business, and finally reached an agreement.

After finishing his work with Li Li, Lao Li took the time to report to Dusk about the establishment of the foundry, saying that he also planned to invest in one, and the scale in Shuzhong would not be too large.

Dusk nodded and said that there was no problem, and then told him specifically about the contract that needs to be signed between the foundry and the main workshop, and told him that the ingredient technical employees on the foundry's side must be dispatched by the main workshop.

In this way, the confidentiality of the formula can be guaranteed.

This is because Dusk still needs to make money, and when he has enough money, he won't care so much about these things.

After returning to the city from Zhongshan, he went to Times Firm, found Shen Xili, and asked him to share the successful experience of Times Firm with Li Li, and Shen Xili knew everything about Li Li.

It was almost late in the evening that the two of them were still happy to call it a day.

Shen Xili found Dusk and said that the big ship of the Times Commercial Bank had been prepared, because the funds were relatively abundant recently, and another one was added to the original big ship, and the manpower had been determined, and a large number of products were pulled from the Zhongshan Workshop to Suzhou, just waiting for the ship to go to the West with Zheng He after loading.

Dusk knew what Shen Xili meant, and wanted to ask what the merchant ship was going to bring when it came back.

After thinking about it carefully, he was not familiar with this thing yet.

I didn't know if I could buy it on the way to the West, so I coughed and said, "You told the people on the merchant ship that on the way to the West, if there are peppers, tomatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, jicamas, potatoes, cassava, pumpkins, peanuts, sunflowers, kidney beans, lima beans, apples, pineapples, custards, guavas, avocados, cashew nuts, cocoa, American ginseng, papaya, upland cotton, tobacco, etc., they must buy seeds at any cost, especially peppers, corn, sweet potatoes and tobacco." ”

Chili peppers and tobacco, for their own business empire.

Corn and sweet potatoes are of great strategic importance, and once the Ming Dynasty planted corn and sweet potatoes extensively, it may increase crop yields and solve the problem of food shortage.

This is a long-term plan for the benefit of the country and the people.

Shen Xili's head was stunned for a while when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "How can you remember so much, or do you write it down in turn?" ”

Twilight nodded, "Okay." ”

Shen Xili immediately asked people to send pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote them down in turn at dusk, and added a detailed description of the important things, including their appearance and function.

Then he told again: "Remember, peppers, corn, sweet potatoes, and tobacco are the most important things, and it may be that their names on the Western side are not called this name, so those who do this must be flexible in their thinking and not be bound by names." ”

Shen Xili nodded, "I'll tell them." ”

Dusk took a deep breath and said: "Tell them that if you find the chili pepper or tobacco, I will personally pay out of Dusk's pocket and send a yard in Yingtian, if I can find corn and sweet potatoes, I will go and ask Your Majesty for a reward, there is definitely more than one yard." ”

Shen Xili's eyes lit up, "I want to go to the West." ”

Dusk was speechless for a while, "You haven't bought a house in the city in the past few years, I remember that your salary is not low, even if you only use your salary, it is enough to buy, not to mention dividends." ”

Shen Xili said angrily: "My boss, these days you spend money like water, and the business bank is constantly expanding, how much money can I take from the business bank?" ”

Basically, I didn't take it.

Unlike Lao Li, Shen Xili has been paying and has not gained much.

Dusk was darkly emotional.

is a talent, and his vision is far-sighted, and it is by no means the immediate interests.

After thinking about it, "In this way, when the merchant ships go to the West and the merchant house makes a profit again, I will notify Liang Weisheng and ask you to raise a sum of money, which is enough for you to buy a yard in the ideal location." ”

Shen Xili smiled and didn't say thank you, not because he met outside like this.

He deserves it.

If he doesn't give it at dusk, he doesn't complain, if he gives it at dusk, he won't be particularly happy, he has experienced many tortures in life, Shen Xili doesn't say that he has reached the realm of not being happy with things and not being sad with himself, at least he can be pampered and not shocked.
