Chapter 56: Cooperation

"Tell me, what's the business?" Princess Kunxing urged anxiously, and her snow-white face showed eagerness.

Chen Yue pretended to look around, and beckoned Princess Kunxing to stretch out her head. Princess Kunxing didn't doubt him, stood up, supported the table with both hands, and leaned his head towards Chen Yue, Chen Yue leaned over and whispered in Princess Kunxing's ear.

Behind Princess Kunxing, the entourage palace maid Que Er looked at the whispering between her princess and a man's head in amazement, and her eyes widened and widened. My princess, alas, how can you be so close to a man, she has the heart to remind Kun Xing to pay attention to her manners, but she is worried that she will annoy the princess, so she can only look around worriedly, for fear that someone will find out about the abnormality here.

Chen Yue leaned into Princess Kunxing's ear and whispered his plans. Looking at the girl's snow-white face and round ear beads, Chen Yue's heart rippled slightly, and he couldn't help but secretly scold himself, this is just a minor girl who doesn't even have breasts, how can he have strange thoughts about her.

"You're asking me to sell briquettes too? How much money can I make from this? Princess Kunxing interrupted Chen Yue's words, although the business of selling briquettes is good, it still can't satisfy her, she wants to make a lot of money, how can a little money help her father?

"Don't underestimate this briquette business, if you can make it bigger, the profit will not be smaller than any business. Do you know how many people there are in Beijing? There are at least 800,000 people in and out of the city, and most of the people who make fires to cook are to burn coal, what a huge market this is, if we take the whole market, the profit will be at least 200,000 taels a year! Chen Yue unfolded his three-inch tongue and flickered to his heart's content.

"I'm afraid it's not easy, there are so many coal sellers, how can we occupy the whole of Beijing by one family!" Princess Kunxing is a smart girl, and she figured out the key to the matter with a slight turn of her mind.

"Easy is not easy, but we have honeycomb coal, this thing is only made by me alone, burning honeycomb coal can save more money than burning coal, as long as we spread the business, do you think about whether the people choose to burn our honeycomb coal or choose them?"

Princess Kunxing has been to the bun shop a few times, and she also understands the benefits of honeycomb coal, knowing that Chen Yue did not lie to herself, and the honeycomb coal that is easy to use and saves money must know how to choose. But as a kind princess, there are some things she must ask.

"All the people have chosen our honeycomb coal, so what about the other coal dealers who sell coal? Will they starve to death? ”

"What could it be? The business of the coal merchants we robbed, they are all rich and powerful masters, even if the business can't go on, they can choose to do something else, as for those coal sellers, we can take them over and send honeycomb coal to us. Chen Yue's explanation was very reasonable and seamless, and there was no mention of Yang Can's family, the shopkeeper of the Yangjia Coal Yard, who he had driven out of Beijing. The competition in the business field is no less than the battlefield, and the failure of the business is often accompanied by the destruction of the family.

Since Chen Yue's explanation is very reasonable, there is no reason why Princess Kunxing should not agree, hundreds of thousands of taels a year is not a small amount, and she will definitely be able to help her father. It's just that the business of selling coal doesn't sound good, whatever, anyway, Chen Yue came forward in the matter, and no one will know that he is hiding behind his back.

"Since Zhou Gongzi is willing to cooperate, let's be honest with each other. To be honest, I've been thinking about this business for a long time, but I can't do it myself, because I'm just an ordinary military family with no background and no strength, so I need a noble person like Zhou Gongzi to work together. I just don't know your true identity Zhou Gongzi? Can you cover hundreds of thousands of taels of business without being robbed by other people's homes? Chen Yue finally asked his own question, although he guessed that the girl opposite was Jiading Bo Zhoukui's family, but he still had to confirm it. That is, Chen Yue, from a society where men and women are equal in later generations, is used to seeing too many strong women in the business and political circles, so he will do such a ridiculous thing as cooperating with a girl.

Princess Kunxing knew that if she wanted to cooperate and do business together, she should tell each other her details. However, how can you tell the other party that she is a princess, isn't that a smear on the royal face?

"I, Jiading Bo Zhou Kui is my grandfather, and Jinyi Wei knows that Zhou Yunlu is my father," Princess Kunxing hesitated for a while, but still made up a lie, afraid that Chen Yue would doubt her status in the Zhou family and added, "Don't look at me as just the little son of the Zhou family, I often go in and out of the palace, and the emperor and empress love me very much." ”

After reaching a preliminary cooperation intention, the two looked at each other and smiled and applauded, and then discussed the details of the cooperation.

Although Princess Kunxing is a little princess who is not deeply involved in the world, she is also a shrewd little devil, she knows that her identity is the biggest hole card, without the protection of her own identity, the grand cause that Chen Yue said is impossible to achieve, so she bites her own interests and must account for seventy percent of the equity.

"Oh, my son-in-law, it's very difficult for me to do this with you, the business is mine, the honeycomb coal is my exclusive ownership, you just provide protection and want to take seventy percent, how can there be such a cheap thing in this world." Chen Yue couldn't laugh or cry.

"I'm the little son of Jiading Bofu, the emperor is my uncle, and the queen is my aunt, shouldn't my identity account for the majority of the business?" Kun Xing smiled slyly at Chen Yue.

"Yes, yes, you are a noble person, and you should indeed take the lion's lead, but I am doing everything, is it unfair for you to treat me like this? In this way, since you want to take the lion's share, you should give out some more silver, if we want to make our business bigger, the principal must be sufficient, and it is not enough to rely on this bit of silver from my family. Chen Yue put forward a request, he only accounted for three percent of himself, he didn't care, if his goal could be achieved, he would be able to earn tens of thousands of taels of silver in just one year, and with tens of thousands of taels of silver, there would be no problem at all in refining hundreds of taels in a year.

"Do I have to give out the money?" Princess Kunxing's words almost made Chen Yue vomit blood angrily, she just wanted to make money and didn't want to invest anything!

"If you want to make the business bigger, you can't do it without capital, I only have more than 2,000 taels of silver here, according to my calculations, at least 3,000 taels of silver are needed, and the business can quickly occupy the Beijing coal market!" Only with sufficient silver can he quickly buy raw coal, hire people to buy coal dealers, and expand rapidly, Chen Yue believes that as long as there is enough capital, it only takes one winter to completely occupy the market in Beijing.

"Just three thousand taels of silver, it's just a piece of cake for Zhou Gongzi."

Chen Yue's words made Princess Kunxing dumb and couldn't say anything about her suffering, so she could only agree with a bitter face.
