Chapter II. 248

Of course, since this 'Li Gaoye' has now become a 'turtle in an urn', before using him to 'vent his anger', 'turtle crystal' still has to be boiled out first.

To say that this Li Ye's 'Wang Ba Bone' is much softer than these beggars who ask for food, Shen Gui didn't even have time to show his means, this Li Ye immediately took the initiative to explain, and his attitude was very sincere, it can really be said that he knew everything and said everything.

It turns out that although these relatives of the Li family are inhumane, they still uphold the 'good family education style'. Although he Li Sanlin is the grandson of the Great Elder Li Gao, he is also his 'only designated heir'; But before his grandson was recognized by his grandfather, he was still treated equally with the other descendants of the Li family. It can be said that except for a slightly better chance of getting on top, there is no preferential treatment at all.

In the Li family's outer family, the only criterion for evaluating the merits of the juniors is how much money they can earn back by relying on their own ability.

This criterion also caused an important reason why Yin Li Zilin, the Great Wilderness City Mansion, was not taken into account by anyone: a scholar, even if he was 'appreciated' by the head of the family Li Deng, and put a four-grade prefect at the door of his house, his official salary for a year was only two hundred taels of silver, which was not worth mentioning at all!

Li Sanlin, who grew up under these 'values', certainly knows what kind of 'challenges' he will face. If you want to take over Li Gao's banner, you will inevitably have to rely on 'your own efforts' to earn back the first pot of gold in your life.

In the prevailing system of the Li family, the "standard price" of the comment "outstanding" is 100,000 taels of silver, and when Li Gao nominated himself to replace the bookkeeper, the "task" given to him was 500,000 taels!

Judging from the current economic situation in the Great Wilderness City, in addition to the Li family, it is still a question whether the people of the whole city can come up with 500,000 taels of silver, not to mention Li Sanlin, who has no capital and no connections? Besides, even though he, the bookkeeper, has a lot of power in his hands, the elders of his clan have already scraped down the land of the Great Wilderness City by three feet, so how can he have room for Li Sanlin to move around?

However, as the so-called endless road, just last winter, after Li Sanlin was called the 'beggar gang leader', he 'got acquainted' with a lot of big businessmen in Nankang. After the attention of these 'industry elites', Li Sanlin also saw an excellent opportunity to make himself one step to the sky!

Although the Li family is also a merchant family, according to the way of doing business, the Li family is completely different from these Nankang merchants: these Nankang people are merchants; And although the Li family's caravan also sells goods everywhere, fundamentally speaking, it belongs to sitting merchants.

Merchants are generally businessmen who have a fixed business model and a fixed store. Most of them rely on their own diligence and hard work, and they also earn those solid silver, which is relatively stable; And most of these businessmen who go south and north have some gold owners as backers behind them. And they make money by relying on accurate vision and accurate judgment of the current situation of all parties, fast in and out, and making a difference. People who do such a business may get rich or go bankrupt, and there is never a person who is rich and secure.

These merchants calculated an account for Li Sanlin: if he only relied on doing business in a down-to-earth manner, even if he leaned against the big tree of the Li family, and wanted to earn the amount of 500,000 taels, it would be like a fool's dream; What's more, he, Li Sanlin, did not have the basic conditions for becoming a businessman at all: patience and diligence.

Therefore, if Li Sanlin wants to achieve his goal in a short period of time, he can only be called a trader who buys and sells!

To open up a new trade route with his own hands, and not being able to use any help from his family, is by no means a simple matter for the fledgling Li Sanlin. But fortunately, he can still use the 50,000 taels of silver stained with human blood in his hand as a book, go to Nankang to buy high-quality silk cloth, and then transport it back to Youbei 3rd Road to sell. However, there are many businessmen who do this kind of business, and although the danger is relatively low, the profits are relatively fixed.

Li Sanlin roughly calculated that even if there were no accidents, the price of cloth would be stable, and it would take about eight years.

Of course Li Sanlin can't wait so long! He knew better than anyone else that the reason why his grandfather Li Gao set such a high 'success standard' for himself was also to pave a road to heaven for himself before he died, and eight years later, even if he earned 500,000 taels of silver, then the Li family at that time would not know who was in charge!

Therefore, his choice is only a short-term outbreak.

It's a pity that the 'national disaster' that I just missed, because I didn't have the supply of goods at that time and didn't have the capital to participate in it, I let go of such an "excellent" God-given opportunity in vain.

Li Sanlin's mentality is a typical 'I only saw thieves eating meat, but I didn't see thieves being beaten'. In the 'Dongyou Material Dumping Conference' that just passed before, on the surface, it was indeed that everyone took what they needed, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, but in fact, who had suffering in their hearts knew best.

Those goods that were privately realized by the elders of the clan, although they were exchanged for a large amount of silver tickets, but the price of the sale was pressed to the freezing point, not to mention, and now that the war between the two norths has just ended, the price on the market immediately soared again. The materials that the elders had intercepted and accumulated over the years, if they were to sell slowly and step by step, the profits they would have to turn over at least five heels!

On the surface, it seems that they have made a lot of money; But in fact, those old men were distressed and almost died! That's the family business that I have worked hard and saved with a lifetime of conscience! Once accidental, he actually sold gold as a stone!

And these Nankang businessmen also saw Li Sanlin's 'eagerness to make contributions', and couldn't stand his bitter pleading, and finally pointed out 'a clear way' to him.

According to them, Nankang has a kind of business that is almost unprofitable, called Ahibiscus cigarette cream. This kind of thing, like the crop, is gold that grows out of the ground; The most amazing thing is that this kind of thing can be sold for more expensive than gold when it is processed casually. Unfortunately, Nankang has recently issued a new law prohibiting the sale and cultivation of this tobacco paste in the country. So at present, all the elephant valleys in Nankang have been swept away; And those hibiscus that are still circulating on the market have been hyped to sky-high prices!

Because after the promulgation of this Nankang law, the largest production area of 'Xianggu', the southern Yunnan province, has also been greatly impacted; It is conceivable that in the next three to five years, the price of Xianggu and Hibiscus paste will gradually rise; If the three- to five-year trial period of Nankang's new policy expires, the southern Yunnan province will eventually give up planting elephant valleys......

How smart is Li Sanlin? Although he is still a newcomer in the business, he has long been familiar with the tricks.

The most basic and primitive way of business is the relationship between supply and demand. The ratio of demand to supply determines the direction of the price of goods. This kind of 'hibiscus smoke paste' not only sounds easy to grow and simple to process, but also almost predictable, the price of this thing will roll up in the future!

According to these Nankang people, not to mention that he wants to earn 500,000 taels, even if he adds ten times more, it is just a matter of a snap of his fingers.

So, this son of Li Sanlin rushed to his grandfather and ancestor, the great elder Li Gao, with great interest, and told Li Gao about the excellent business route that he had carefully planned and opened up with his own hands.

However, Li Gao is his grandfather after all, and his far-sighted strategic vision is far from being comparable to Li Sanlin's grandson.

It turned out that Li Gao had already secretly hooked up with the crown prince Yan Day, and their grandfather and grandson could not only get a piece of the pie in this business; Even his grandson's 'road to heaven' is included in this business! Originally, Li Gao didn't plan to tell the truth so quickly; However, since this grandson is so 'competitive' and has a sharp eye that is good at 'seizing business opportunities', it is not inappropriate for him to prepare in advance.

Of course, business is business, and family rules are family rules! No matter how good Li Sanlin is, he is not a descendant of the Li family after all, and he has to do everything according to the clan rules!

So, Li Sanlin took out more than 50,000 taels of silver stained with the blood of beggars as a book, and successfully participated in this business. No matter what the outcome is, at least he, Li Sanlin, has already taken this carriage that is about to leave! However, the terminal of this carriage may not be the place they want to go.

In fact, according to the humble status of 'Li Gao', he can understand his master's master in such detail, which is beyond Shen Gui's expectations; But now looking at the actions of the Li family's relatives, it seems that in this great desolate city, there is no word 'good and evil' at all, whether it is the violent Li family or the suffering people, it seems that they have become accustomed to this kind of black and white unknown world; Even the most fierce resistance made by that very character guy stick was just silently waiting to see when the Li family was unlucky.

Hearing this, Shen Gui was no longer interested in finding out more, and of course, he couldn't find out more inside information.

"Whew...... Little one-armed, it was this Li Ye who personally broke your arm, right? The young gang master handed over this 'benefactor' to you, you can serve as much as you like, but don't live your mouth! ”

After speaking, Shen Gui reached out and removed all of Li Gao's joints, while he stood up, patted the dust on his clothes and pants, and turned around to leave......

"Why are you going? Revenge? ”

Li Le'an was pounding medicine with a small stone mortar, and his red eyes looked like a round-faced rabbit living on the moon.

"What words! I have to have a grudge before I can call it revenge! What is the hatred between him, Li Sanlin and me, Shen Gui, himself? Now that I have gone to him for trouble, how can I call it revenge? ”

"Yes, too...... So what are you going to do? “

"Hehe, I'm calling for revenge!"
