Chapter 61: Borrowing Chickens to Lay Eggs

(Readers, it's not that I don't break out, it's just that my grades are not enough and I lack motivation.) Ask for everyone's ticket tip, give me some motivation)

Li Hongyu chatted with Sun Hongye for a long time in the grocery store, listened to Sun Hongye's introduction to the current business situation, and worked with him to formulate a plan for the next step.

Obviously, Li Hongyu is not the kind of person who is rigid and self-serving, although he is full of confidence in his business ability, but Sun Hongye has a better understanding of the current market in the Ming business world.

Therefore, he knew that he had to cooperate with Sun Hongye, and only when the resources of both sides complemented each other could he succeed in the business field.

As for Zhao Yulong, he has no business ability of Li Hongyu and knows nothing about the market of the Ming business world, so he can only listen honestly on the sidelines, and his heart is full of admiration for Li Hongyu, and he can talk and laugh with Sun Hongye, who has 30 years of business experience.

Sun Hongye was also secretly shocked, the more he contacted Li Hongyu, the more frightened he felt, although Li Hongyu did not understand the current market market, but the business plan he proposed was reasonable and well-founded, and it was completely based on the business information he provided, which made him feel shocked, and he invisibly had a sense of awe for Li Hongyu.

"Brother Mu, I don't know how much silver you can invest in the business this time, it's not that I'm boasting, I can eat as much as you invest, and we can make a lot of money after selling those cloths."

After discussing with Li Hongyu how to expand the fabric business, Sun Hongye looked at Li Hongyu with a smile and asked, looking confident.

According to the division of labor plan formulated by Li Hongyu, the production and operation of the cloth business was temporarily under the responsibility of Sun Hongye, and Zhao Yulong, who had no experience, assisted him on the side, and after he understood the market situation and was familiar with the rules of the shopping mall, Li Hongyu arranged other tasks for him.

"Anyone who has capital can do business, but it's a pity that the younger brother doesn't have a lot of money, and this time the funds will depend on Brother Sun to raise." Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, and said quietly, he wanted to see what Sun Hongye's ability was.

"Brother Mu, do you mean on credit?" Sun Hongye suddenly understood when he heard this, and his face showed a look of surprise, if he didn't have money, he couldn't buy fabrics for dyeing, so he could only make credit.

"Brother Sun, we have a killer weapon, if Brother Sun uses it properly, he will definitely kill all sides, and he will be invincible." Li Hongyu reminded Sun Hongye with a smile.

"Brother Mu, you mean those dyes?" Sun Hongye finally came back to his senses, he had forgotten such an important thing just now.

With the new dyes in hand, he could use them to pay credit to his former partners in the fabric business, and when he sold the colorful and non-fading fabrics, he could pay them the money.

This is an important reason for Li Hongyu's cooperation with Sun Hongye, who has a huge network of interpersonal relationships in the fabric business, which is more convenient for the production and sales of fabrics.

What is particularly important is that the business circles of the Ming and Qing dynasties are more likely to be contract business than human business, and people usually value the friendship and trust between people when doing business, and Sun Hongye, who has been immersed in the fabric business for many years, undoubtedly has his own resources to help the cloth dyed by new dyes open the market.

"Brother Sun, time is running out, I hope Brother Sun can act immediately and make a lot of money in this year's fabric business." Li Hongyu smiled and nodded, with Sun Hongye's interpersonal relationships in the cloth business, it was obvious that he could rely on those new dyes on credit.

"The goods are good on credit, but the scale of my dyeing workshop is limited, and I am afraid that I will not be able to dye a sufficient amount of cloth for a while."

Sun Hongye is now burdened with a large amount of foreign debt, so he naturally hopes to devote himself to business as soon as possible, but he has a concern, and said to Li Hongyu with a frown.

In Sun Hongye's view, the more cloth they can trade this year, the more money they will make, and he will be able to pay off the loan sharks he owes, but in this way, he will encounter a bottleneck in production, and if you count the time to buy fabrics, there is not much time left for them to dye cloth.

According to the usual business flow, the cloth merchants have been preparing this year's goods since last year, and now it is March.

"What's so difficult about this, we can provide dyes for others to dye on their behalf, so that we can dye a sufficient amount of cloth." Li Hongyu smiled when he heard this, in his opinion, this is not a problem at all, and he can use the "foundry" to make up for the lack of production capacity.

"Brother Mu, are you saying that you want another dyeing workshop to help us dye cloth?" Sun Hongye was stunned when he heard this, and his face was full of incredulity.

You must know that the formula of the dye is a core secret, and each dyeing workshop is regarded as a treasure, not to mention letting other dyeing workshops dye it on behalf of others, even the dye secrets in this dyeing workshop are only controlled by the men of the family, that is, the male but not the female since ancient times.

"Brother Sun, have you ever heard of 'borrowing chickens to lay eggs'?"

Li Hongyu knew Sun Hongye's worries, and explained with a disapproving smile, "We have feed now but the number of chickens we raise is too small, in order to get more eggs, we can borrow other people's chickens to raise, and the profits brought by eggs far exceed the cost of renting those chickens, so why don't we do it?" ”

"Brother Sun, don't worry, since the younger brother is doing this, then there must be a reason for the younger brother, those dyes are made by the younger brother with a secret recipe, and the younger brother believes that no one can imitate it."

Saying that, Li Hongyu made another suggestion, "If Brother Sun's friend is interested, he can do this business with us, and we will provide dyes for them to produce, but the cloth should be sold by us in a unified manner, and the profits can be shared equally." ”

"Brother Mu is so courageous, so we can not only ensure the supply of goods, but also control the price in the market, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone."

Sun Hongye's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, Li Hongyu's proposal was too subtle, once it was completed, they would form a monopoly on this kind of cloth dyed by new dyes, and then get rich returns.

"Brother Mu, this secret recipe of yours is not easy for them to imitate, right?" Subsequently, Sun Hongye couldn't help but look at Li Hongyu with some concern, after all, Li Hongyu's approach was too amazing, and the consequences would be unimaginable if it was cracked.

"Brother Sun can rest assured, no one can break this secret method of brother, otherwise brother will not let other dyeing workshops intervene." Li Hongyu smiled again when he heard this, and he looked confident, Sun Hongye now didn't know that his dye was synthesized using chemical methods, and no one in the Ming Dynasty could crack the mystery today.

"That's great!" Sun Hongye suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and a look of excitement flashed in his eyes, if things were really as Li Hongyu said, then they would be equivalent to using these fuels to indirectly control those partner cloth merchants, making them dominate the business.

At the same time, Sun Hongye also realized that the young man in front of him had a mind that did not match his age, and he was not an idle person, and a sense of awe could not help but arise.

After Li Hongyu and Sun Hongye finished talking about things, it was already noon, Zhao Yulong asked the guys from the grocery store to go to a nearby restaurant to buy some wine and food, and the three of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and the relationship between them became much closer.

Because Sun Hongye was very optimistic about the prospects of this cloth business, when he took the newly signed loan document in exchange for the loan document he signed last year, and confirmed that the loan shark he borrowed was deferred for one year, he immediately led Zhao Yulong to start busy with business matters.

It is worth mentioning that in order to make Sun Hongye do business with peace of mind, Li Hongyu deliberately set up a business name called "Honghai" and set the proportion of shares held by the three people.

Zhao Yulong and Sun Hongye both used their real names, and signed the documents for the distribution of shares, Li Hongyuzhi naturally wanted to use a fake identity in the officialdom, using the fake name of "Mr. Mu", and asked Rou'er to put a handprint on the name instead of himself.

According to the provisions of the "Ming Law", officials above the fourth rank are not allowed to do business, but there is no provision that the subordinates of the family cannot do business.

Although Li Hongyu is only a prospective student now, he has to plan for the future, so he takes precautions and makes Rouer the "Mr. Mu" of Honghai Firm.

In fact, the word "Mr" did not only refer to men in ancient times, some women with status and fame can also be called "Mr.", so the code name of "Mr. Mu" can be a man or a woman, the key is to press the handprint on the name, and use the handprint to identify the identity.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why Li Hongyu named the business name "Honghai" was to commemorate his father Li Renhai, who wanted to fulfill Li Renhai's unfulfilled wish to become a leading figure in the business world.

After arranging the matters of the fabric business, Li Hongyu had no distractions and concentrated on preparing for the government exam, and it was early April in a blink of an eye.

What Li Hongyu never expected was that on the afternoon of the day before the government examination, an accident happened without warning, and the peace of the Li Mansion was broken by a group of officers from the county government of Xiangyang County, who broke in from outside the door with a warrant.

"Where is Li Hongyu?" Standing in the courtyard of the front yard, the stout errand of the leader asked loudly, which made the subordinates hurriedly inform Li Hongyu, who was studying in the backyard.

Since Li Hongyu had sold his store in Xiangyang City in order to donate to the soldiers of Liaodong, Li Hongqing and Li Hongxiang were interning in Sun Hongye's cloth shop at this time, so that they could take over the fabric business in the future.

Therefore, Li Hongyu was left in the Li house, a man from the Li family, and the subordinates naturally wanted to look for him.

"The county officer?" Li Hongyu, who was concentrating on flipping through the books, couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, he didn't commit a crime, why would those errand soldiers come to pass him with a warrant?

"Oops!" Then, Li Hongyu's face couldn't help but change, and an ominous premonition appeared in his heart.

If Li Hongyu didn't guess wrong, someone must have set up a situation to frame him, and he was more worried that the other party would want to kill him than to prevent him from participating in the upcoming government exam, which would be a big deal.

"Quick, go to my grandfather, just say that I was framed, let my grandfather come and save me." didn't have time to think about it, Li Hongyu hurriedly asked the people who came to report the good news, the other party was obviously not good, and now he can only count on Zhao Guangfeng to save him.
