Chapter 14: The Four-Wheeled Carriage
Chapter 14 The Four-Wheeled Carriage
"I've seen Your Highness." Seeing that he was safe, Wu Liu hurriedly came up to salute.
"What the hell is going on? How did you get into trouble with the King of Han? "Compared with the war situation, Li Zhen is more concerned about the problem of the workshop, and he does business well, why did he get into trouble with the King of Han?
"Hey, it's not like our business is too good and we're being targeted." Wu Liu explained with a gloomy face.
It turned out that after a few months of brewing, Li Zhen's business has become completely popular in Chang'an, especially the furniture of the Tian Workshop, the various desserts of the sweet candy shop and the delicacies of the natural residence are the most attractive.
These are Li Zhen's three pillar industries at this stage, and these three industries alone can provide Li Zhen with nearly 800 net profits every day.
If you add the fake glazed products of the porcelain kiln and the income from the porcelain originally sold, plus the income provided by the industry that has not been transformed by him, Li Zhen does nothing every day, and sits in the palace with an income of 1,000 yuan, and in the past few months, he has accumulated nearly 100,000 yuan of money.
Such a large amount of money was definitely a huge amount of money in the early Tang Dynasty, and the nobles of the wealthy families who were miserable behind the glamorous appearance had already checked everything clearly.
For example, today's Han King Li Yuanchang - this guy is a flower Tai Sui, spending money lavishly, if it weren't for the fact that some businessmen took refuge and had offerings every month, with his meager income and income, he would have gone bankrupt a long time ago.
It's just that although some businessmen under his command have taken refuge, the real big businessmen still don't look down on him, so under his profligacy, he can only barely make ends meet.
Originally, this was nothing, after all, Chang'an's relatives and nobles were almost like this, no one was much better than the other, and everyone's eldest brother didn't laugh at the second brother. But now it's different, Li Zhen's income is clearly and really in front of everyone, which makes everyone's hearts unbalanced, everyone is a royal family, why do we all have to eat bran vegetables, but you can get countless gold and silver every day?
Jealousy, pink eye is a natural offense.
Now it seems that some people can't sit still, Li Yuanchang is just the first to make a move, and maybe it is also the pathfinder pushed out by those people.
To tell the truth, a Li Yuanchang Li Zhen really didn't pay attention to it, but the terrible thing is those who are hidden in the shadows, even if Zhen beats Li Yuanchang away this time, there will definitely be more people after him - after all, wealth is moving, and the income of 1,000 yuan a day, even Li Shimin can't sit still.
"What to do?" Li Zhen was distressed, these people are like a pack of hungry wolves, even if you kill one, there are countless others rushing towards you behind you, with his current strength, he can't parry it at all, unless you have a heavy machine gun in your hand...... In other words, you have strong enough strength, and it is obvious that Li Zhen's current appearance does not look like he has strength.
The second solution is to find a target who is fatter than you, direct the eyes of the wolves to him, and hide behind him to survive. However, the only flaw of this method is that such a target is not easy to find, because if you want to hide behind people and steal your life, then this person must not be too weak, otherwise it is easy to be bitten to death by wolves; You can't be too strong, or people will probably kill you together.
But just then, Li Zhen has such a goal - Li Shimin is very strong, very strong, strong and scum, so strong that no one is willing to provoke him.
As long as Li Zhen is willing to give up part of the profits and attach the name of the industry to Li Shimin's head, Li Shimin is very willing to help with this. As for being too strong to be killed, there is no need to worry about this, Li Zhen is his son, if he even wants to devour his son's industry, then the appearance will be too ugly, how will he serve the public in the future?
"No, you can't trouble my father for anything, this plan is to be determined, think about whether there is any other way." Li Zhen pounded his head and thought hard, if he had to help his father with everything, he would lower his status in his father's heart, and it was best not to use this method until he had to.
"Your Highness, my subordinates have a little suggestion here." Wu Liu saw Li Zhen's headache, so he boldly put forward his own suggestion: "Why don't we pull a few more people into the water?" For example, Your Royal Highness, your elder brothers, don't have to give much shares, as long as people know that they are standing with us, this is enough. ”
"What kind of trick are you doing?" Li Zhen glanced at him, there were enough people who were originally red-eyed, how could more people know? Not even if this person is his brother.
"Forget it, don't think about this yet, I'm not in a hurry anyway." Li Zhen is really not in a hurry, what is the most important thing in the Tian Workshop?
It's not all kinds of new furniture, it's not a large number of skilled craftsmen, and even the set and the standards of production that are gradually being accepted by more and more people are not the most important. In fact, the most important thing about the endless design concepts of the Tian Workshop is those different furniture styles, but these things have always been stored in Li Zhen's mind. As long as these things are not leaked, even if others burn down the Heaven Workshop and poach all the craftsmen, Li Zhen can quickly build another one.
Therefore, although there are already many businesses on the market that are imitating the furniture of the Tian Workshop, because the Tian Workshop has always been able to come up with endless new furniture, the high-end market has been occupied early, which has led to other businesses can only drink soup behind the butt of the Tian Workshop, and truly 'can only be imitated, never surpassed'.
"But Your Highness, my subordinates heard that His Royal Highness the King of Han has a bad reputation, and he is bold, so we have to guard against it."
"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? Li Yuanchang can only play some unpopular means, at most, he burns the day workshop. Li Zhen said indifferently: "As long as you do a good job of fire prevention and theft, there is no better way to deal with me, besides, who will deal with whom." ”
"Yes." Wu Liu responded respectfully.
"By the way, I don't know ...... Your Highness came over this time."
"Oh, I'm mainly looking at everyone's work, and that's the other thing." Li Zhen then remembered that she still had something to do, so she hurriedly took out a stack of rice paper: "Look at it, can the things on it be made?" ”
"Yes." Wu Liu immediately respectfully took the drawings, he now admires Li Zhen's design ability, don't want it, the day workshop has produced a total of two sets of 36 kinds of new furniture in the past few months, all of which were designed by Li Zhen, and now this drawing is only a new type of furniture.
But this time, Wu Liu thought badly.
"It's ...... Carriage? "Wu Liu's eyes are about to pop out, is your span a little too big, Your Highness? Aren't you afraid of pulling eggs?
"Why, can't you do it?" Li Zhen frowned, do you want to build a carriage workshop?
"No, no, no, it's total." Seeing Li Zhen's expression, Wu Liu dared to have other ideas, and immediately packed the ticket and said: "Actually, there is no difference between the carriage and the furniture, they are all made of wood, since the Tian Workshop can make furniture, there is no reason why it can't be made into a carriage." Just one problem......"
Wu Liu pointed to the wheels of the carriage and wondered, "Your Highness, why is this carriage four-wheeled?" Although the four-wheeled carriage is indeed larger, he can't turn around with four wheels. ”
"Let's take a look at the fifteenth drawing." Li Zhen knew that he would ask this, in the final analysis, it was still the inherent mode that killed people, since he knew that the four-wheeled carriage couldn't turn, wouldn't he transform the front wheels into controllable steering? It's just a steering gear, is it troublesome?
"Yes." Wu Liu hurriedly did what Li Zhen said, but was stopped by Li Zhen again: "You can't eat this carriage for a while, call a few more masters to study it slowly, I still have to leave in advance." ”
"Greetings to Your Highness."
