Chapter 128: A word wakes up the dreamer
"Miss, the maid felt that the third prince was helpless to do that at that time, he was forced by the young master and Li Hongqing to that point and had to protect himself."
Seeing Qin Yue's pale face, Xiaolan knew that she had suffered a serious psychological blow because of this incident, after all, no one wanted to be used by others and cause damage to her reputation, so she sighed for a while and comforted, "The third prince must have felt regret afterwards, so he tried to prove Miss's innocence in court, and spared no effort to save Miss with the Western Regions medical skills." β
"He moved here on purpose, and then deliberately became a neighbor with me, using me to deal with Li Honggen." Qin Yue came back to her senses, bit her lip and said word by word, "Not only that, but he can also make my uncle lose face and fight back against my uncle for taking away the grain business." β
"Miss, there is a sentence that the maid doesn't know whether to say or not, that house originally belonged to the third son, and the aunt and the master wanted to keep it for themselves, and the third son's approach is human nature, and the young lady will do the same."
Xiaolan knew that Qin Yue was very uncomfortable now, but she knew that Qin Yue had a deep affection for Li Hongyu who saved her in Linjiang Tower, so now she could only enlighten Qin Yue, because in her opinion, Li Hongyu was an excellent candidate for Qin Yue's husband, not only talented but also working in the city government, which was enough to protect Qin Yue in the future.
"Didn't he know it would ruin my life?" Qin Yue took a deep breath when she heard this, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten.
"Miss, doesn't the third prince know that he offended the little marquis and destroyed his future?" Xiaolan has been with Qin Yue for so long, so she naturally knows why Qin Yue is sad, and it must be difficult to feel relieved that Li Hongyu is using her, so she asked after thinking about it.
As soon as these words came out, Qin Yue was stunned for a moment, and for a while she didn't know how to answer Xiaolan.
Because in her opinion, Li Hongyu's move is undoubtedly crazy, you must know that Zhang Quan is not the kind of declining Xungui children, and belongs to the top level of Xungui's children, Li Hongyu, the leader of the small children's test case, dared to hurt him, and it was undoubtedly his own death.
Compared with Qin Yue's grievances, Li Hongyu paid a lifetime to save her in Linjiang Tower, considering Li Hongyu's potential in the imperial examination, the sacrifice he made for Qin Yue was even greater.
"Miss, the maid thinks that the third prince has a young lady in his heart, otherwise he would not have broken into Linjiang Building to save Miss."
Seeing Qin Yue standing there in a daze, Xiaolan knew that she had hit Qin Yue's heart, so she persuaded while the iron was hot, "Miss, since the third prince has gradually told you his secret, it means that he has regarded Miss as his own person, and Miss has no need to hold on to the past, she should look at the long term." β
"Miss, as the saying goes, there is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, but there is no chance to meet on the other side, it is not easy for you and the third son to get to this point, but you must cherish this marriage!"
As she spoke, Xiaolan's expression became gloomy, "Otherwise, once you lose it, you will regret it." β
"Xiaolan!"
Qin Yue was stunned, Xiaolan's previous sincere words were like an empowerment, which made her mood cheerful, and she realized the preciousness of this marriage with Li Hongyu, she knew that the reason why Xiaolan looked sad was because she remembered Li Hongyi, so she stepped forward and hugged her in her arms, which was a comfort for her.
Compared with her matter, Xiaolan's situation is even worse, after all, Li Hongyi is the one who was sentenced to death, and it is difficult for Li Renhe to even see Li Hongyi now, and it is difficult to overturn the case.
Two days later, in the morning, on a painting boat by the river.
"Case Chief Li, are you really willing to give me the dyes and let me produce those fabrics?"
In the cabin of the painting boat, Li Hongyu and Li Hongqing and a sturdy middle-aged man gathered around the wine table to drink, talking and laughing, the middle-aged man put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Li Hongyu with a look of surprise.
"Everyone makes money, everyone makes money, and everyone makes money in harmony!" Li Hongyu smiled slightly, and raised his glass at the middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man is the "Boss Zhang" in Li Hongqing's mouth, a big cloth merchant in Wuchang, named Zhang Shenghui.
Li Hongqing's cloth business in Wuchang is a partnership with Zhang Shenghui, compared with other cloth merchants in Wuchang City, Boss Zhang's biggest advantage is "integrity", once a business because he insisted on integrity and lost a lot of money.
Therefore, although Zhang Shenghui's strength was not the strongest among the cloth merchants in Wuchang, Li Hongqing still chose him and made a lot of money by acting as an agent for the fabric dyed by new dyes, so he took advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to send Qin Yue the valuable humanoid He Shou Wu, hoping to do business with Li Hongqing for a long time.
Zhang Shenghui also knew a little about the affairs of the Li family, and knew that it was Li Hongyu who was in charge of the Li family, and to his surprise, Li Hongyu was not only young but also the head of the Xiangyang Mansion children's test.
Therefore, Zhang Shenghui naturally wanted to find a way to curry favor and get closer to Li Hongyu, he was not good at giving gifts to Li Hongyu directly, so he locked the object as Qin Yue, anyway, Qin Yue was Li Hongyu's fiancΓ©e, and she followed Li Hongyu to take care of Li Hongyu, so she was undoubtedly the future mistress of the Li family.
"Case leader Li, I don't know how the profits will be divided in the future?" Zhang Shenghui suddenly looked happy when he heard this, picked up his wine glass and touched it with Li Hongyu, and asked with a concerned expression.
"It's very simple, fifty-fifty shares, Boss Zhang is already responsible for production, and the people below are responsible for sales, so that no one will suffer, fair and reasonable."
Li Hongyu smiled slightly, although the essence of a businessman is to pursue profits, but he does not account for the temporary gains and losses in interests, it seems that he and Zhang Shenghui seem to suffer a little if they share the interests equally, but his goal is that Zhang Shenghui has been operating a sales network for many years, which will help the expansion of the business.
"Fifty-fifty!" Zhang Shenghui's eyes suddenly lit up, and an excited look appeared on his face, Li Hongyu's absolute exceeded his expectations, he didn't expect Li Hongyu to be so generous.
You must know that Li Hongyu has an absolute advantage in the negotiations because he has mastered the source of goods, and the profit he has obtained from his cooperation with Li Hongqing this year is only 30%.
But even so, he still made a lot of money, the cloth dyed by the new dye is very popular in the market, and it can be said that the supply exceeds demand in the market, if it is not for Li Hongqing to limit the number of goods, then he will earn more.
Now Li Hongyu not only gave him the dye to let him produce those new fabrics, but also gave up 20% of the profit at once, which naturally gave him a big surprise.
"Happy working together!" Li Hongyu smiled, raised his head and drank the wine in the wine glass in his hand, and it could be seen that Zhang Shenghui was very satisfied with the conditions he offered.
"Present your good words!" Seeing this, Zhang Shenghui hurriedly bowed to Li Hongyu and drank all the liquor in the wine glass.
"Boss Zhang, we will be in the same boat in the future, and I hope Boss Zhang will agree to ask for something below." Li Hongyu put down his wine glass and looked at Zhang Shenghui with a smile, "It is inconvenient to deal with business matters in the lower imperial examination, and I hope that Boss Zhang will keep the affairs of the next department confidential for the time being." β
"This is natural, Gongzi Hongqing has already told me about this matter, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about you." Zhang Shenghui knew what Li Hongyu meant, so he replied solemnly, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
He knew that Li Hongyu was the favorite of Huguang Township to try to solve the yuan, which means that Li Hongyu will step into officialdom in the future, and it is naturally inconvenient to have a relationship with businessmen, but at the same time, it means that Li Hongyu did not treat him as an outsider, which will be of great benefit to the future cooperation between the two sides.
Li Hongyu noticed the joy in Zhang Shenghui's eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but reveal an imperceptible smile, Zhang Shenghui will become an important piece of the puzzle in his current business ambitions.
Of course, Li Hongyu doesn't expect Zhang Shenghui to share ups and downs with him in business now, he just wants to establish a friendly relationship with Zhang Shenghui now, and then the two sides gradually deepen the relationship in cooperation.
Moreover, on the surface, it seems that Zhang Shenghui has taken a lot of advantages, but in fact he is just a manufacturer of the cloth business led by Li Hongyu, not only is Li Hongyu's people in charge, but also the dyes are provided by Li Hongyu, so Li Hongyu firmly controls the dominance of the business.
What is particularly important is that Li Hongyun will take over the sales network that Zhang Shenghui has worked hard to build, which is a great impetus for the expansion of his business.
Of course, Zhang Shenghui will also participate in the marketing of fabrics, but he is mainly responsible for production, and the decision of marketing is in the hands of Li Hongyu.
In fact, in the face of Li Hongyu's proposal, Zhang Shenghui had no way to refuse, the reason was very simple, if he did not agree, Li Hongyu could find other cloth merchants to cooperate.
For Zhang Shenghui, who has already made a lot of money in the cloth business dyed with new dyes, he will naturally seize this opportunity, otherwise he will have to watch the money slip away from him.
Moreover, Zhang Shenghui knows very well that the new dye will have a huge impact on the pattern of the cloth business, and no one has a way to compete with Li Hongyu's new dye at present.
This means that new dyes will occupy the market of the cloth business in the future, and he must seize this excellent opportunity now, otherwise he will have to follow behind and eat the leftovers of others.
Li Hongqing didn't understand Li Hongyu's approach at first, in his opinion, Li Hongyu had no need to share the profits of the business with Zhang Shenghui, as long as he controlled the supply of goods, he could make Zhang Shenghui bow down.
But later, Li Hongqing understood Li Hongyu's intention to do this, one is to increase the supply of goods, the second is to expand the power, and the third is to deal with threats from the outside world.
Obviously, with the rise of the cloth business dyed by new dyes, some people will definitely be jealous of this, especially those black and white forces entrenched in the local area will undoubtedly want to get a piece of the pie, and using local businessmen like Zhang Shenghui to deal with them is undoubtedly the best choice, which can save them a lot of energy.
Li Hongqing had to admit that Li Hongyu's courage and vision in business were far stronger than him, and by absorbing businessmen like Zhang Shenghui, the scale of the cloth business not only expanded rapidly, but also greatly strengthened the ability to resist risks.
This makes Li Hongqing very optimistic about the prospects of the fabric business, perhaps this is what Li Hongyu called "technical crushing" to him, and those old-fashioned technologies that stick to the old ways in the face of emerging technologies have no way to survive at all.
