Li Mu pretended to be stupid and said, "I don't know what uncle wants in return?" ”

"Refreshing!" Cheng Yanjin smiled: "Xu Maogong, your righteous son is not like you, he is much happier than you." After speaking, he looked at Li Mu again and said, "That winery ......"

"No way!" Li Mu didn't wait for Cheng Yanjin to finish speaking, so he vetoed it. Li Ji suddenly showed a look of relief, Cheng Biting Jin was annoyed and ashamed, and said, "You asked me what I wanted, but I still didn't give it?" The kid can't play me, don't forget that the old man helped you! ”

Li Mu said: "The boy remembers his uncle's help, but the gentleman will practice his words, I said that day, the wine business is the cooperation between me and Siwen and our two brothers. I'd rather not do it, no one can interfere, even the Emperor I refused. In addition to the sale of wine, what else does the uncle want, the boy must promise. ”

Cheng Biting Jin couldn't help it, he said with an air bag: "I don't care, but I know how much money your wine shop makes a year, more than 100,000 yuan a year." If you don't let me participate, then you can give me another deal at a similar profit. ”

Li Ji said: "Old horseman, I remember that day Li Mu took the initiative to say that he could cooperate with you in other businesses, but you said that you want to taste his ability, what's the matter, now the product is good?" ”

"What do you have to do with it, this is a matter between me and Li Mu, don't rely on you being his father-in-law, just point fingers at everything, I think you are not suitable to be his father-in-law, the old man is suitable, Li Mu, you kowtow to me three times, I will be your father-in-law, don't want him!"

"The old puppet still has some rules!"

"Xu Maogong, did you know me Cheng Biting Jin on the first day? When did I ever have a rule! ”

Li Mu couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly persuaded: "Uncle is joking, how can my father-in-law recognize it casually." Thanks to his uncle, the kid has other ideas, and there is really no suitable person for this business except for the uncle. If the uncle wants to, the boy will tell the idea, and the uncle can do it yourself, and the boy doesn't want any of them. ”

"And such a good thing?" Cheng Yanjin looked at Li Mu for a moment, rolled his eyes, and said, "No!" You kid is as cunning as a ghost, you must be tired of saying this, you don't have a share, just like Xu Maogong, you come up with ideas, you come up with business. The old man contributes to others, you account for five into five, I account for four into five, as long as you can guarantee a profit of 100,000 yuan a year, you can do whatever you say! ”

Li Mu smiled bitterly: "Uncle, the kid is very kind, I will give you the idea, you can do it yourself, why bother to divide me in half?" ”

"The old man can't believe you, and if you talk about your ideas, the old man doesn't understand, if you mess up, who will give the old man money? You have to do it, the old man wants people to give people, land to land, you have to have capital, you have to participate, you have to earn money! ”

Li Ji couldn't listen to it anymore, and said, "You old horseman still want to be cheeky?" Do I owe you this righteous son? I can't give you any ideas, I have to bring him with you, what kind of intentions do you have! ”

"What do you know, old man, this is helping him! With the old man here, who wants to move him can't weigh it? Do you want to count on you, the cowardly father-in-law, and Tang Jian's stepfather? This time there was an accident, and I didn't see you two come out! ”

"That's because you don't need to!"

"Fart, it's a coward!"

Li Mutou was older, and hurriedly said: "Two, don't quarrel, I'll just agree." Can we take a break and get down to business? ”

"Say!"

Li Mu asked the maid to remove the scraps, and brought pen and ink and put them on the table. Li Mu picked up the pen, drew a circle on the paper, and then drew stairs around it, and soon, a simple schematic diagram of the horse farm came out.

Cheng Yanjin couldn't understand it, and glanced at Li Ji, who had never seen it, and asked, "What is this?" ”

"It's called a horse farm!"

"Horse farm?" Cheng Yanjin furrowed his brows and said, "Why are you building a city around the racecourse?" ”

"This is not the city, this is the stands." Li Mu said: "This idea of mine is called 'horse racing'. ”

"Horse racing?" Cheng Yanjin frowned and said: "What is the rarity of horse racing, there are often horse races in the army, and this can also make money?" ”

"Uncle, don't worry, listen carefully to the little nephew." Li Mu explained: "Horse racing in the army naturally can't make money. But the horse racing I'm talking about can make money. ”

"First of all, we need a piece of land to build a horse farm like this. Then we issued an announcement to select the best horse in Chang'an City, with the first prize of 500 yuan, the second place of 300 yuan, and the third place of 100 yuan......"

"That's almost a thousand! Why did the old man spend so much money to hold this kind of competition! ”

Li Ji said impatiently: "You old horseman, if you don't want to do it, don't come to pester it, you always interrupt when you give you ideas, it's annoying!" ”

Cheng Biting Jin opened his mouth to refute, glanced at Li Mu, swallowed back, and said, "Go on." ”

Li Mu continued: "There must be brave men under the so-called heavy reward, and with a bounty of nearly 1,000 yuan, there will inevitably be many people who sign up. Think about it, there are only a few people with horses, and what will be the identity of people with good horses? ”

Li Ji pondered for a moment and said, "The family of gate valves, the sons of the nobles. ”

"That's right! It is the son of Xungui. Li Mu said: "Why do you want to give so many bounties, just to attract them." If there are less, dozens of runs, they won't pay attention to them, but five hundred times is different. They already have horses at home, but they just participate in a competition, and if they win, they can get 500 yuan, so why not? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Cheng Yanjin also nodded and said, "Even if the old man hears the news, he can't help but want to participate." But the old man hasn't understood yet, where does this money come from? You can't afford to lose money yourself, right? ”

"Someone pays for it." Li Mu narrowed his eyes and said, "Can we make a bet?" ”

"Betting? What to bet on? ”

"Bet on the rankings!" Li Mu took out the rules of horse racing that he knew in his previous life and said, "We can set up a betting point and divide it into different ways to play. As long as you calculate properly, you will definitely make a profit and not lose money. ”

Li Ji said cautiously: "When it comes to gambling, there are wins and losses, how can you make sure you don't lose money?" ”

"It's going to be calculated." Li Mu picked up the pen and wrote on the paper, although his words were not flattering, but fortunately, Li Ji and Cheng Yanjin were both military generals and did not find fault with him: "We can set up different ways to play and let the participants scatter bets." For example, he can guess which foal will run first, or he can guess how many foals he likes will finish first. He can also bet on guessing which of the last three foals will be awarded, and if the order is correct, the prize will be even more. ”

"According to the degree of difficulty, there are different multipliers of the prize. This is like guessing the champion in the imperial examination, before the imperial examination, the students had their own talents, as if anyone could win, but after the list was released, there were those who did not win, and in the end, no one could figure out who could win. As long as the operation is right, it will definitely make a profit and not lose money. ”
