Chapter Ninety-Three: The Money Printing Machine

At this time, a pro-soldier came over to add tea, and Qian Zijun whispered a few words to the pro-soldier. The pro-soldier said: "Obey! Exited the living room.

Qian Zijun said: "Today, I will go to the political envoy yamen to do business?" ”

Li Feibai said: "I asked a few entourages to do some small things first, and I plan to go to the political envoy's yamen tomorrow to do business!" ”

Qian Zijun said: "That's good! In the morning, we will drink tea and chat here, in the afternoon we will accompany me to try the new firecracker, and in the evening you and I will get drunk. How is it? ”

Li Feibai said: "This is the territory of the eldest brother, so naturally I listen to the eldest brother!" As he spoke, he took out a few cool oils from his arms, handed them over, and said, "Thank you for taking care of my eldest brother last time, Mr. Tang bought the stone lion in my shop and ordered the goods needed for the next year." After my shop was empty, I didn't have much to do, so I went to talk to Dr. Wang, and cooperated with him to make these gadgets, and the eldest brother showed the younger brother that these things were marketable in the army! ”

Qian Zijun understood that Li Feibai said that he was talking to Doctor Wang, but he actually apologized for him, and since he cooperated with Doctor Wang, it can be seen that this apology has been successful. He said: "I know very well who Mr. Tang is. Since he bought out your stone lion and made an agreement for long-term cooperation, it can be seen that your stone lion is still good, and he is also profitable, otherwise he will only buy it once, and it will not be bought for many years. ”

With that, he turned on the cool oil, sniffed it, and said, "What is this?" ”

Li Feibai said: "The soldiers eat and sleep in the open, and they must be tortured by mosquito bites. This thing is called Cool Oil, which has a miraculous effect on mosquito bites! ”

Qian Zijun let out an "oh" and said, "There is still such a good thing?" "Stretched out his fingers and buckled some cool oil down, and applied it to the tiger's mouth on his right hand, where a large bag was bitten by mosquitoes last night, and it was itchy and painful at this time, and it was very uncomfortable. After a while, he said, "Sure enough, it has the effect of curing itching." How much can such a thing sell for? ”

Li Feibai said: "Ten Wen! ”

Qian Zijun groaned slightly, and said: "One is only a few pennies to make money, why do you want to do this!" ”

Li Feibai said: "Small profits but quick turnover!" He added: "Big brother Mo Xiao looked at a few pennies to make money, and he couldn't stand selling more." How many soldiers did the Ming have? There are always more than a million! If one earns a few pennies, more than one million will earn millions. That's nearly 10,000 taels of income! ”

Qian Zijun laughed and said: "If the people of the Ming Dynasty each buy one, wouldn't you want to earn millions of taels!" ”

Li Feibai said: "That's the reason! ”

Qian Zijun said: "You want the cool oil to be sold in the army." This is easy to do, everyone loves good things, I went back to the official in charge of grain and straw to say, it is not difficult to buy a batch of this thing. However, the number is only in the early 1,000s at most, you don't expect the eldest brother to sell it to you all over the country, after all, the eldest brother is just a pacification. I can still get something to do in the Kaifeng Guardhouse, and when I get out of the Kaifeng Guardhouse, no one knows me. ”

Li Feibai said: "I only brought a thousand with me this time. I am not familiar with the land of Kaifeng, and I don't know where to sell. If my eldest brother can buy all the things, I can save them from taking them back. After a pause, he said, "As for how to sell the rest, big brother doesn't have to worry about it!" As soon as the soldiers use it, such a good thing will definitely be passed on by word of mouth. One pass ten is 10,000 sales. Ten to hundred, that is, 100,000 sales. Hundreds of thousands are millions of sales! ”

Qian Zijun laughed and said, "How can it be so easy!" ”

Li Feibai said: "It's up to people!" ”

At this time, the soldier went and returned, holding an envelope in his hand. Qian Zijun took the envelope and whispered a few words to the pro-soldier, and the pro-soldier was ordered to go out.

Qian Zijun opened the envelope and glanced inside, handed the envelope to Li Feibai, and said, "Second brother, this thing is for you!" ”

Li Feibai took it and asked, "What's it!" ”

Qian Zijun said: "Your Hou Yanmin's paintings were sold for five hundred taels of silver, plus the one thousand taels of silver I usually accumulated, and I sold some things, borrowed some from everywhere, and made up five thousand taels of silver." Take these silver tickets first, and the remaining 5,000 taels will be talked about later! ”

Li Feibai's face changed, slapped the envelope on the tea table, and said, "What do you mean by this, big brother?" How did we say that we were sworn in the first place? I didn't promise the 10,000 taels of silver you promised, so it doesn't count at all! When you mention this matter again at this time, do you look down on my second brother? ”

Qian Zijun said: "One yard is one yard!" I think about it, people want to keep their word, you better accept it! ”

Li Feibai said: "No, I will never accept it!" ”

Qian Zijun groaned for a moment and said with a smile: "You are a businessman. In business, capital is very important. The so-called big profit, you only think that I lend you the capital to do business first! ”

Li Feibai thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll take it first!" However, I declare in advance that this is the money you have invested in my business, and I will pay dividends at the end of the year! ”

Qian Zijun said: "That's right! But in his heart, he thought, "Since you have received the money, I will pay back half of the money, and it is not untrustworthy." ”

Li Feibai said: "Let's just say it!" But he said in his heart: "Anyway, I am short of money, so I will accept the five thousand taels." But I'll put the 5,000 taels into the most profitable business, borrow an egg today, and pay you back a cow next year. He paused, and then said: "Big brother, don't mess around with the mandarin duck spectrum, what is your Hou Yanmin, your Hou Yanmin's, the two of us are innocent, we have nothing to do with each other, don't ruin the reputation of others." ”

Qian Zijun just smiled meaningfully and didn't talk.

Li Feibai said: "By the way, can her paintings really be sold for money?" Can one sell for fifty taels? ”

Qian Zijun said: "Of course you can sell it for money, otherwise where did I steal the five hundred taels?" It's a pity that there is still no reputation, and the painting is also a little lacking, if the reputation is bigger, and then worship a famous teacher to make up for the shortcomings in the painting, a painting is not impossible to sell for three or five hundred taels, even a thousand taels! ”

Li Feibai was taken aback, and said in his heart: "A thousand taels for a painting? Is this still a painting, this is not a money printing machine! I didn't expect this little girl to draw a few strokes with a pen, and she would be more profitable than the business I racked my brains for. But how can you make a name for yourself? There is only advertising for publicity, but unfortunately there are no TV newspapers at this time, otherwise you can advertise and write some advertorials. Thinking of the newspaper, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "I have a better reputation, but I have a way." Just where to find a famous teacher to worship? ”

Qian Zijun frowned slightly, and began to think about the famous painters he had heard of. Although these painters are famous, their painting skills are really average, and they are not as good as Hou Yanmin's paintings, so how can they be masters. Suddenly, he looked up and patted his thigh, and said, "How did I forget this person!" ”

Li Feibai hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”

Qian Zijun opened his mouth to say that he was about to say his name, but he thought that Li Feibai didn't know anything about painting, and he said that Li Feibai didn't know either, so he said: "This person has been famous for a long time and has a great reputation, but after being hit again, people have become a little crazy." I heard that this person recently traveled to Kaifeng, and if he has money, he goes to the Qinglou to sing songs every night, and sleeps on the streets when he has no money. If you have time, go around the Qinglou, and maybe you can come across it! ”

Li Feibai said: "Got it! ”

The two gossiped again, and it was noon. The soldier who had been serving in the living room before didn't know where he went, so another soldier came in with a food box, and took out the same food as it was on the table.

Qian Zijun invited: "There are no exquisite dishes to entertain you in the army, but the most expensive thing is to strengthen your mouth." Second brother, come and have a taste. ”

Li Feibai walked in and took a look, and the table was indeed full of hard dishes with strong mouths, including Dongpo elbows, braised pork pieces, spicy whole rabbits, and so on.
