Chapter 6: The Big Deal (2-in-1 Chapter)

"Thank you brothers for your comfort, I feel much more comfortable, just like Brother Qi said, things haven't been decided yet, I can't give up easily." Li Zhen was very moved in her heart, after all, she was still a brother, at least she was still very harmonious before she grew up. This strengthened his determination to do his best to maintain this brotherly relationship, and not let the right of time corrode this innocence.

"But now I don't want to say this, my little brother has a way to make money here, I can't eat it alone, I don't know if your brothers are interested in participating in a share?" Li Zhen lowered her voice and said mysteriously.

"Oh? What is the business? You can't even eat the eighth brother known as the little God of Wealth? As soon as the brothers heard Li Zhen's words, they immediately came up excitedly. Little God of Wealth is a nickname given to Li Zhen by outsiders, because he is very good at making money......

Walking on Chang'an Street, you casually pull a person and ask, what is the latest fashion furniture in Datang? That person will definitely answer you without thinking, of course, all kinds of new furniture in the Sky Workshop.

If you ask him what is the most delicious sweet in Datang, his answer must be the sweets sold in the candy shop, various flavors of fruit candy, various types of preserved fruit candied fruit, and various types of pastries and biscuits...... It simply makes people who love sweetness want to stop.

If you ask him again, what is the most popular jewelry in Datang today, his answer is definitely all kinds of high-quality glass jewelry in the beauty jewelry store (in fact, it is not any glass, but Li Zhen uses sand as raw material to burn the semi-finished glass that is burned by the method of glass, because there is no soda ash, so the things burned out are not transparent to the glass, but the color is gorgeous, and the texture is similar to the glass, plus the design drawings of various popular jewelry provided by Li Zhen, since the listing has been in short supply, Deeply loved by the women of Chang'an).

If you ask him, which is the best restaurant in Datang today, his answer is definitely natural residence, it is said that the recipes there are passed down from the palace, everything is a fairy delicacy, there are gourmets lingering here every day, and what is more eye-catching is the upper link at the entrance of the natural residence - the guest is a natural residence, and it is actually a guest in the sky.

The natural home has already released the words, as long as you can make the next link, all kinds of delicacies of the natural home can be eaten with you for a year, but the natural home has been open for a few months, and now there is not even a talent who can connect the upper and lower links.

If you ask him again...... He's definitely going to give you a kick, the peat is endless, and after asking so much, where are you going?

Well, the above is pure. But it also proves how good Li Zhen's business is, and now these stores bring him nearly a thousand yuan of net profit every day, which can be called a gold-absorbing machine, you must know that some small commercial banks don't even have a thousand yuan of profit a year.

But Li Zhen is not satisfied, and wants to open the rest of the business (Li Shimin gave him a lot of shops, there are about a dozen stores, and the number of workshops is about the same.) It's just that he had limited time at that time, and he had enough talents on hand, plus he was later grounded and couldn't leave the palace, so he could only open a few stores temporarily, and the rest were temporarily shelved, leaving them to be self-sufficient, planning to wait for the opportunity to talk about it), in this way, the money earned will definitely be more.

Later, it was Concubine Yan's advice, which dispelled this idea, Concubine Yan's advice was very simple, the tree was very popular, and the net income of 1,000 yuan a day has made many people red, if you earn more, I am afraid that someone will really be unable to help but take action - with Li Zhen's current ability to resist risks, it is obvious that she can't stop the greedy hands of those wealthy families who are hungry for profit.

Li Zhen's earning ability is so terrifying, but now listening to him, even he can't afford to buy and sell, this is obviously a big business, and all the brothers are suddenly excited.

They, especially those who have been crowned kings, have more or less power in their hands, and Li Zhen's income is not much hidden, as long as they pay a little attention, they can easily find out. Therefore, while everyone admires Li Zhen's ability to make money, there may not be all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts, and they have thought about letting Li Zhen take them with them more than once, but as brothers, they can't pull this face to plead, so they can only watch Li Zhen collect money wildly, and he drools wildly on the side.

Now it's okay, Xiaoba finally thinks of himself, and as soon as he makes a move, it's a big business, and the eighth brother is really righteous.

"It's simple, isn't this going to war?" Li Zhen said mysteriously: "You guys, haven't you ever thought about making some money from this?" ”

Li Ke suddenly changed color: "Eighth brother, you can't be fighting for military rations, right?" This is absolutely not good, once we let my father know, we will die. ”

"Who said I was going to pay attention to the rations?" Li Zhen was very dissatisfied with Li Ke's interruption, and glanced at him: "The Tang Dynasty soldiers are fighting on the battlefield, even if I am a bastard, it is impossible for me to be stabbed in the back." ”

"Didn't you notice? In every battle, do the soldiers who participated in the war bring back some loot more or less? Li Zhen targeted the loot: "In the past, except for a very few precious ones that had to be handed over, most of the rest of the loot fell into the pockets of the soldiers themselves. But soldiers are all occupations that work with their heads, and no one knows if there will be tomorrow after today, and if the spoils of war in their hands are not disposed of as soon as possible, maybe tomorrow they will become someone else's spoils. ”

"Eighth brother, what do you want to say?" Li Su interrupted impatiently: "If you are talking about buying back the spoils of war from the soldiers, then I advise you to dispel this idea as soon as possible, this business has already been done." Whenever there was a battle, the army would be followed by a large number of caravans, which carried grain and grass when they went, and when they returned, the carts were loaded with all kinds of booty, all of which were collected from the soldiers. ”

Li Tai also said: "What the sixth brother said is right, and this kind of business is particularly costly, don't look at the eighth brother, you have made a lot of money during this time, but if you really want to invest in this industry, I am afraid that you will not even be able to make a splash." This is all a game for those big businessmen, although we are princes, but we have not yet had the capital to get involved. ”

"Oh, I haven't finished talking about the fourth brother and the sixth brother yet, you guys listen to me slowly. I know all of this, but do you know how much it costs to buy loot? ”

"This ...... Merchants are heavily profitable, and the purchase price should be, not very high, right? Li Ke hesitated, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, eighth brother, you want to fight a price war, but the fourth brother also said that our brothers don't have much money combined, and the acquisition of loot is a big business, and it is not something we can participate in now." ”

"When did I say I was going to participate in the loot acquisition? Can you listen to me? Li Zhen said impatiently.

"Third brother, you also said that the businessmen are too cunning, and the initiative is in their hands, and some soldiers know that the things in their hands are treasures, but because they are begging the businessmen to buy them, they can't sell them at a high price."

"Then why not use the military's internal communication system? What they are worried about is nothing more than that they will die on the battlefield, the spoils of war will be confiscated by others, and their wives and children and families will only receive meager pensions. Li Yun rarely spoke: "In that case, why don't they borrow their internal mail system?" I remember that there was this department within the army, which sent and received letters or parcels for soldiers to relieve their homesickness. That should be better than selling to profiteers, right? ”

"Do you think they're all good people inside?" This time it was not Li Zhen's turn to answer, Li You preemptively said: "Old Seven, you are too naïve, if the soldiers use the internal communication system, deductions will prevail along the way, and the things of ten yuan will fall into his house, and it will be consistent even if he has a conscience." ”

"Oh! I finally understood what the eighth brother meant. After some analysis by the brothers, Li Tai seemed to understand what Li Zhen meant: "Eighth brother, do you mean that we will make this communication system ourselves?" Let's organize people, and then be responsible for transferring the things in the hands of the soldiers to their homes? Isn't that so? ”

"Yes, fourth brother, you finally understand what I mean." Li Zhen looked at Li Tai with great relief: "But I want to add that transferring loot on behalf of you is only part of the function, we can also buy it directly, as long as the price is fair, we can definitely make the business bigger." ”

Li Yun seemed to be a little unable to turn around: "But, what about profits? We can't send them for nothing, can we? ”

"Stupid, there's a rake." Li Su hated that iron could not become steel and patted Li Yun: "Ten yuan of money, let's take 20 percent, and send it to their house and have eight yuan of money, how can this be much better than selling it to profiteers or being detained by Shangguan, right?" ”

"That's what you say, but what about credibility? It's all desperately obtained, who would easily give it to outsiders? "Li Yun doesn't know what's going on today, or he doesn't have business acumen, so he can't turn this corner.

"Call you stupid and you won't accept it." Li Tai also gave Li Yun a look, pointed to his nose and said, "Who are you?" You are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, your identity is the best reputation, not to mention that the prince is not just you, but a whole seven (Li Ke, Li Tai, Li You, Li Su, Li Yun, Li Zhen, Li Zhi), so many princes add up, and the credibility is not much worse than that of the father emperor, right? With us as a guarantee, who dares to doubt it? ”

"Okay, what the fourth brother said is right, I didn't think that the fourth brother still has the talent to do business." Li Tai said this domineeringly, and everyone cheered loudly, which made Li Tai even more proud.

"But I want to change one thing, the princes who are the guarantors are not seven, but nine." Li Zhen still stated this.

"You mean the eldest brother of the crown prince and the tenth brother (Li Shen, who is the same age as Li Zhi, but he didn't come this time)?" Li Ke immediately understood what Li Zhen meant, and said with a frown: "It's just that the tenth brother is easy to say, but the eldest brother of the prince is a little difficult to say, especially ...... Eighth brother, did you offend the eldest brother of the prince somewhere? Why do I think the eldest brother of the crown prince looks at you a little unpleasantly? ”

"How do I know?" Li Zhen smiled bitterly and spread her hands to express her innocence: "Since I woke up from falling into the water, I haven't seen my eldest brother a few times, I really don't know where I offended my eldest brother?" ”

"Forget it, don't talk about this, anyway, invite it first, if the eldest brother agrees, it's fine, it's okay if you don't agree." The relationship between Li Tai and Li Chengqian has always been bad, although they do not regard each other as mortal enemies as they did in the future, but they also belong to the level of competing for favor.

"Yes, let's continue to talk about our business, speaking of the eighth brother, what is the name of our business? Let's talk about it, don't we? Li You seems to be very enthusiastic about making money, and he is busy asking Li Zhen the name of his business.

"The name of this business is Bank." Li Zhen didn't sell it either: "Let me tell you, you must not underestimate this bank, the transfer of goods is just a very small business of the bank, and it is also the most basic business." The real big head, that's called Rijin Doujin, but that's the business that the bank can only carry out in the middle and late stages of development, and it's still early, we'll talk about it later. Now the top priority is to give the bank a loud and domineering name, I wonder if your brothers have a better proposal? ”

"Name, then it's called the Royal Bank." Li You said casually, and it could be seen that he didn't care about the name or anything.

Li Tai pouted and said: "This name is not good, you go outside now to take a look, as long as it is our royal property, most of them bring a royal one, it is too cliché." I propose to call the Kings Bank, we are all princes, even if there is no king for the time being, but there will definitely be one in the future, it is appropriate to call the kings. ”

"No, no, no, I always feel uncomfortable." Li Ke immediately vetoed: "I think it should be called Eight Kings Bank, because with the addition of the tenth brother, we are exactly eight princes, how about it?" That's a good name, right? ”

"What a fart, I think it's good to call it the Nine Emperor Bank, plus the prince's brother happens to be the ninth prince." Li Su also gave his own name.

"No......"

"Still my good ......"

", my best ......"

The "......" brothers all wanted to make themselves the naming person of the bank, but the fight was red-faced, so they almost rolled up their sleeves and fought.

"Well, why add numbers? Is it bad to call King Bank? Li Zhi, who had never had a sense of existence, stretched out his little hand tremblingly.

......There was silence in the hall for a moment, and Li Zhen's eyes lit up: "Yes, this name is good, it's called this name." ”

"That's good, let's call it this." Li Tai was unhappy verbally, but he had accepted the name in his heart.

"It's not bad, I'm okay with that." Li Ke also expressed his position.

"Since everyone has no opinion, let's settle it." Li Zhen smiled in her heart and didn't speak, King Bank? What is a king?

"The Legend of the Ram: The First Year of Chenggong": But why is it not a matter of defeat? The king is invincible, don't dare to be it.

"Historical Records: The Biography of Bo Yi Lie": It shows the world's heavy weapons, the king's unification, and the difficulty of spreading the world.

Zhang said in the Tang Dynasty "Fenghe Qianqiu Festival Banquet System": Five virtues give birth to the king, and a thousand years of enlightenment of the sacred heart.

Qing Dynasty Ling Yangzao's "Lispoon Compilation and Unauthorized Establishment of Chu Qi Cewen": The work is in the herdsmen, and the one who knows the king is the general tool.

"The Analects of Zilu": "If there is a king, he will be benevolent." Xing Yushu: "If you are appointed by heaven to rule the world, you will be able to achieve benevolence for thirty years." ’

Su Zhe's "New Treatise" in the Song Dynasty: When the Warring States were strong, the princes had no way, but Mencius also thought that there was a king. “

To put it bluntly, the king is the Son of Heaven, and the king's bank is the Son of Heaven Bank. Except for Li Zhi, who is still ignorant and ignorant, who is older, who doesn't have a little thought about the supreme throne? Now the bank is called King Bank, which can be regarded as a good omen for itself.
