Chapter 141: Family Banquet Planning (Part II)

If the floor clock only made everyone in the hall feel novel, and then the small and delicate chiming bell that was slowly carried to several tables aroused everyone's enthusiasm.

The whole of the bronze gold-plated roller curtain white ape birthday bell is composed of three layers: upper, middle and lower. After the bell is wound, the upper canopy rotates and the unicorn shakes its head from side to side to the accompaniment of music. At the same time, the middle curtain rises, the fairy ape walks out of the arch, leans forward and kneels, stretches out his hands to break the fairy peach, and the little ape also moves his arms up and down to make a peach offering, which is very interesting.

The elephant chariot clock reflects the scene of the elephant soldiers marching to the battlefield. An elephant's nose, tail, and eyes can all move. There are so many patterns that you almost forget that this is a timepiece for timekeeping. What's even more peculiar is that the wheels of the chariot can actually roll forward! ……

When these half-height grandfather clocks were placed, the princes were not polite at all, and thanked them in their mouths, and asked their subordinates to carry the clocks they liked back to their villas, for fear that the prince Liu Che would change his hexagram.

Liu Che didn't care either, he teased Xiao Liu Cheng in his arms, and asked Li Fu to take a magnifying glass for him to play with at will. For this youngest brother, who was born by his aunt Wang Erjiao, Liu Che loves it very much. The so-called three-year-old looks old, and now five-year-old Liu Cheng has shown enough intelligence and curiosity, Liu Che often takes it with him so that he can teach at any time, in fact, he has some selfishness and bad tastes, and intends to train a prince with more modern thinking from an early age.

Although today's Liu Che is beautiful and smooth, he seems a little lonely, which is a psychological barrier caused by the difference in world outlook and values, and a generation gap will be formed in just ten years in the future, not to mention that Liu Che has crossed the era of more than 2,000 years, and it is difficult to find the object that can be fully communicated. In order not to be too lonely in the future, I still have to start with a doll. I'm not afraid that Liu Cheng will do anything incompatible with this era in the future, after all, when he grows up, Liu Che will already be a great man, and no one will dare to blow up the assassination again.

Seeing that the grandfather clock and the floor clock were all carried away, everyone re-seated. Although the princesses who have not had enough of enjoying the fun are happy that their prince has obtained this wonderful treasure, they are still faintly disappointed, after all, the attraction of clocks and watches to female surnames is not strong, and this gift is inevitably a little different from their original expectations.

Liu Che had lived for more than 20 years in his previous life, and he still had simple communication skills, so how could he not see their careful thoughts, and laughed loudly: "Don't worry, the imperial sisters-in-law, the clock is a gift for all the royal brothers, and the lonely king still has a novel and good object to give to the sisters-in-law." ”

The princesses were secretly happy when they heard this, but their faces couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and they didn't want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to see through their careful thoughts. The princes turned their heads to look at their mothers-in-law, feeling that they were really a little embarrassed. The princesses blushed even more, only Changsha Princess Chen Jiexing's eyes were round, and she looked directly at Liu Fa, the king of Changsha. Liu Fa's heart trembled violently, and he hurriedly looked away, not wanting to be seen by the other princes, so he couldn't help laughing.

Liu Fa didn't think it was wrong, scratching his head and smiling helplessly. Anyway, his reputation for fear of guilt has long been resounding in the big man, and now in front of his own brothers, there is no need to deliberately hide it. On the contrary, Chen Jie showed a faint anger on her face, remorse in her heart, blamed herself, and secretly determined to save more face for the prince when she was away in the future.

"Li Fu, go get the soap." Liu Che commanded with a smile.

Li Fu obeyed the promise, and after a while, he put the large carved wooden boxes on everyone's tables, and the carvings on them were all kinds of different lifelike flowers. The princesses couldn't wait to open the exquisite wooden box and lift the silk silk inside, revealing the lumpy things of different colors inside.

"It smells so good!" Chen Jie exclaimed in surprise, took out the soap called by His Royal Highness and put it on the tip of her nose, and took a deep breath, "It's the fragrance of magnolia flowers!" Same as the carving on the box. ”

"My soap is the scent of gardenias!"

"It's the scent of roses, I like it the most!" ……

The princesses, who were amazed, took out their soaps one after another, and there was a sound of inhalation in the hall, and then it became lively again, and the chattering women were as good as five hundred quacking ducks, which was true. The princes didn't have time to take care of their concubines' rather rude behavior, and they were also curiously playing with soap.

Liu Fei asked curiously, "Your Highness, I don't know what this soap is for?" I guess the mystery goes beyond the aroma, right? ”

"This soap is similar to the pancreas, and is used for washing the face and body. Descaling and greasy, far better than pancreas, but also lingering fragrance and body, making people refreshed. Liu Chedian explained, and Fu instructed Li Fu to serve a copper basin of water for everyone and let them try the effect themselves.

Under Li Fu's guidance, everyone tried to wash their hands with soap, and they were amazed by the rich foam and the oily stains on their hands that quickly went out. I took the silk towel and dried my hands, and put it on the side of my nose to sniff it, and sure enough, there was a faint fragrance remaining, and everyone was happy. The princesses were overjoyed, with this soap, even if they didn't bring a sachet, they could be surrounded by a dark fragrance, which was a great temptation for the female surname.

Liu Fei, who had already penetrated into the eyes of money, was even more surprised, as if he had seen a huge mountain of gold, and hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, I don't know how much this soap costs?" What are you going to sell for? ”

When the princes heard this, they reacted one after another, and they all looked at Liu Che with bright eyes, for fear that this piece of fat that could clearly make huge profits would slip away from their mouths.

Liu Che didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "If this item is auctioned, what do the five emperor brothers think?" ”

Liu Fei pondered for a moment, frowned and said: "Although this thing is good, it can only be used for washing the face and bathing the body, and it is rare if it can be sold for more than a thousand dollars." For auctions, I am afraid that I will not make much money, but it is better to open some shops so that I can sell them often. ”

Liu Che shook his head and said with a smile: "The main ingredient of this soap is glycerin made by oil workshops and sulfuric acid workshops, counting some spices, the cost is only more than ten yuan, and the price of 100 yuan is several times the income, but there is no need to open a high price of thousands of dollars, the so-called small profits but quick turnover." ”

The princes were speechless, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really the most outstanding figure in our old Liu family, this shameless appearance is very ancestral style, and several times the income dares to be said to be small profits but quick turnover, even Liu Fei, who has always been ruthless, sighs to himself.

Liu Fei was puzzled: "If it is only sold for 100 yuan, it should not be used for auction, even if it can sell tens of thousands of square meters of soap at a time, it is only a million yuan, and it is not worth the price of a grandfather clock." ”

Liu Che didn't whet his appetite anymore, and explained: "What the Lone King wants to auction is not the soap, but the right to sell the soap, and even the method of making the soap. ”

Liu Fei was surprised, as if he saw the cooked duck flying away, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Highness think twice, this king of the right to sell has comprehended it from the classics given by His Highness, and it is a good way." But if you sell the soap method, won't you be able to do your own business in the future? It is absolutely not advisable to fish with all your might. ”

Liu Che smiled and waved his hand: "Brother Five Emperors, don't worry, the preparation method of this soap is not difficult, there is no shortage of smart people in the world, just think carefully, even if there is no glycerin, you can imitate it with grease." The key is in the material, if it is made of grease, the cost may be as high as dozens of dollars, and the effect is not as good as glycerin eleven. We can make enough money by selling this glycerin, so why bother to set up a soap factory and a sales shop? Don't compete with the people! ”

The princes here are not stupid people, they all heard Liu Che's implication, relying on the independent trade of glycerin, you can get the bulk of the profits, as for the small profits of making and selling soap, naturally do not care, but hope that the more merchants who make soap, the better. While being impressed, he also had a new understanding of Liu Che's definition of "not competing with the people" for the Royal Industrial Group.

"Even if glycerin can make a lot of profits, this soap preparation method can't let other people go for nothing, and they need to be given more money!" Liu Fei couldn't help but be overjoyed, muttered for a moment, but frowned again, slowly got up and looked around the hall, coughed a few times and then said loudly: "Today, His Highness's words stop at this hall, and you must not spread it." Even if it's your own relatives, don't leak half a point. If the group's business is ruined, Hugh blames the king for turning his face and not recognizing people! ”

The princesses, who were originally talking to each other and were excited, were stunned for a moment, then reacted and hurriedly nodded in agreement. Even the princess of Changsha, who has always jumped away with her surname, nodded and did not dare to blow up the stab. They can be the princes and princesses, they are all from famous families, and since they were children, they have not seen the scenes of deceitful and calculating each other, so they naturally know that Liu Fei's words are aimed at them. Liu Fei already has a lot of prestige, and since he has become the chairman of the Royal Industrial Group, he is even more worthy of his word, and he can be described as the spokesperson of the prince under the prince Liu Che, and they can't help but be disobedient. Besides, the so-called daughter who marries out, spills out the water, and marries her husband, how can she spoil the reason for her husband's business for the sake of her mother's family's interests?

Liu Che smiled without saying a word, obviously appreciating Liu Fei's sense of confidentiality of trade secrets, and was even more satisfied that he stood up and told him to say this for himself. If Liu Che announced it by himself, it would seem too petty and childish, and it would not weaken the prince's bearing. It is really appropriate to change Liu Fei to mention it as the principal.

After the business was discussed, everyone who had gained everything naturally drank happily. When Liu Che handed over the yawning Xiao Liu Cheng to Li Fu to take him down to rest, the hall was even more staggered, everyone laughed and laughed, drank wine in a big bowl and ate meat. Even Liu Fei, who has always paid great attention to appearance, was poured meat and vegetables, unbuttoned his clothes and made wine with the princes.

The breeze of the summer night blew across the lake, passing through the hall, and the four gray-haired old men who were leisurely drinking listened to the hearty laughter coming from the villa of Liu Pengzu, the king of Zhao nearby, and felt that they were a little younger. Especially the slightly drunk old Zongzheng Liu Tong, his cloudy old eyes were faintly red, and he sighed: "It is not easy for the heavenly family, may this situation last forever......"

(The festival is shattered, and it was broken yesterday.) At the end of the year, I was too busy at work, I worked for dozens of hours in a row, and I didn't get home until eight o'clock this morning, and I didn't sleep before I coded a chapter, and I was dizzy, and I don't know what the quality was. (To be continued.) )
