Chapter 283: Family Business
In the Li family's mansion, Old Man Li listened to his son and nephew's follow-up to the birthday banquet, and the expression on his face could not see joy, anger and sorrow, which made Li Huishan and Li Cishan feel a little worried.
Those unpleasant things happened at the birthday banquet, which no one expected, I didn't expect that the rabbit cub to be so bold and actually stir up his father's (uncle's) birthday banquet, which was like a slap in the face of the Li family.
Although the general had already made the rabbit cub apologize afterwards, Li Huishan and Li Cishan felt a deep annoyance and guilt when they remembered the expressions of the guests who wanted to make fun of them but held back them during the birthday banquet.
This is the old man's 70th birthday...... There was a flaw.
If it weren't for the fact that the general was still protecting the rabbit cub now, Li Huishan would have asked people to do him a long time ago, saving him from poking his eyes and nose in front of him, and it would be uncomfortable to watch.
"Well, it's all over, that's it! The general also made him apologize, if our Li family still holds on to this, it will seem too small to tolerate people, but it will make the general unhappy. When the time comes, it will be in vain, and the gains will outweigh the losses. Old Man Li groaned for a long time and said this, indicating that this topic was over.
Old Man Li was not generous enough to forgive Peng Jin who messed up his birthday banquet, but as the head of the clan, he knew better that he had to care more about the general's attitude than Peng Jin's petty fight, and the general's attitude was already very clear, that is, to protect that kid and let the Li family not care.
The Li family can only ignore it.
The general had already admitted that he was low, but the Li family could only accept this fact with grievances. Because. Behind the general, there are 120,000 Xining guards and horses! If the power is not as good as the people, the power is not as good as the people, and things will not be as expected!
Old Man Li saw this more clearly than anyone else, and therefore, he felt that if he wanted to lead the Li family to go further, he had to start with these 120,000 soldiers and horses.
In fact, from many years ago. Old Man Li is already laying out. After waiting for so many years, things finally came to fruition, so Old Man Li definitely didn't allow himself to be anxious at this time, although he was already seventy years old, but he believed that he could wait for that day to come!
His own talents, plus the flourishing clansmen of the Li family. With in-laws as the network, how can the pattern be limited to this small corner of Queensland? Even if he is the head of Queensland, Old Man Li feels that the current Li family is far from reaching the family prosperity he wants, and if he wants to go further, he must go further......
"Father, what do you think?" A question from Li Huishan. interrupted Old Man Li's thoughts, making him slightly stunned. What does that mean? What was the son and nephew just saying. He didn't hear it at all.
"Uncle, that's right. We are discussing whether to push up the price of Sanqi even more. Because notoginseng is selling very well now, and the demand is also very large, but the quantity produced by medicine farmers is limited. After this difference, the nephew believes that the price of Sanqi should be pushed up again. ”
Seeing that Old Man Li obviously didn't listen to what they just said. Li Cishan repeated what he had just said.
The reason why he came to Queensland from Wenzhen was to attend the birthday banquet of Old Man Li. The second is also to discuss the price of notoginseng with Mr. Li.
Pushing up the price of Sanqi, involving many aspects, always have to say hello to the old man, and make relevant preparations, just like any previous operation, this is all used to.
Li Cishan thought like this, although he was reporting to Old Man Li, he believed that Old Man Li would definitely agree to this matter, because the profits that the Li family got from it were too considerable!
Since Li Cishan is the president of the Wenzhen Pharmaceutical Market Guild, the Li family naturally does not get involved in the business related to medicinal materials, just for the sake of justice. This is something that the Queensland pharmaceutical industry knows, and because of this, the Li family has served as the president of the Pharmaceutical Market Guild for several generations, and their status in the Queensland pharmaceutical industry is extremely respected.
Li Jiaming does not touch the medicinal material business on the face, but secretly he is the king of the pharmaceutical world, and the Li family shakes his feet, and the wind of the pharmaceutical world will also change twice.
This is because the medicine market guild controlled by the Li family is a connection between the pharmaceutical world and the imperial court, which means that the Li family controls the movement of the medicine market, as long as they are engaged in the industry of medicinal materials, they have to watch the actions of the Li family.
Secretly manipulating the price of medicinal materials, pushing up or lowering the price of a certain type of medicinal material, such a thing is what Li Cishan is used to, and there has been no mistake over the years. Of course, through this push, it is needless to say how much profit the Li family has gained from it.
The reason why the huge profits obtained by these changes have not been discovered by others until now is because many of the Li family's in-laws are engaged in the medicinal materials business, either as medicine farmers, or as pharmacists, or as pharmacists, or as medical clinics, or as pharmacists, or as beneficiaries of drug price changes, and the profits obtained by the Li family are naturally digested through these in-laws.
This kind of mutually beneficial thing, the Li family and their in-laws are happy to see it come to fruition and tacitly know it.
"You should know that Sanqi is the top priority of Wenzhen, and the price cannot be easily changed, why do you want to push it up this time?" Old Man Li squinted his eyes, his face with white hair looked kind, but the words he asked were very shrewd.
"Yes, my nephew knows. This time I want to push it up, in addition to the reason I just mentioned, there is a more important point, that is, the big pharmacist in the family has developed that thing, even if there is any mistake in Sanqi this time, it can be replaced by that thing, just take the opportunity to try the effect of that thing. Faced with this old man Li's question, Li Cishan replied unhurriedly.
He knew that as soon as this reason came out, the old man would definitely agree to this price change!
Sure enough, after listening to Li Cishan's words, Old Man Li smiled with satisfaction, nodded and said, "That's okay, now Xiyan and the imperial court are harmonious and friendly, and there will be no disputes for a while." These three sevens are not easy to make mistakes, so let's do it, but the specific process must be cautious! ”
After listening to Old Man Li's approval, Li Cishan secretly sighed. The reason why he wanted to push up the price of Panax notoginseng, in addition to the two points mentioned above, the most direct reason was that the bribe offered by the Panax notoginseng medicinal herb merchant was too high, so high that Li Cishan couldn't help but be moved.
It just so happened that he had been very short of silver recently, so he thought about swallowing this bribe in private, and did not tell Old Man Li about it. Otherwise, this bribe must be confiscated again, and then he will not get much.
"It doesn't matter if the price of Panax notoginseng is pushed up, but Sanqi sent to the army must not be raised, and it must not be shoddy! When it comes to the military, small things can become big things. Even if we have the protection of the general, once something happens, we are afraid that we will not come back. Seeing that his father agreed to his cousin's suggestion, Li Huishan said.
Li Huishan is not particularly familiar with things in the business field, but he is very sensitive to everything in the officialdom.
Panax notoginseng has a miraculous effect on stopping bleeding, so it has always been one of the most relied on medicinal materials in the army, Wenzhen's notoginseng, a large part of which is directly supplied to the Dayong army, of course, Xining guards and horses are the majority of them.
Li Cishan didn't want to make a mistake because of the medicinal material Sanqi, which would affect the relationship between the Li family and the army, which would be very bad, so he couldn't help but mention it again and again.
Li Cishan naturally nodded yes, but he didn't think so. Manipulating the change in drug prices, this is really too small a thing, it is almost the same as dressing and eating, and the Li family has long fully mastered its technical content, and he doesn't think that there will be any mistakes at all. Moreover, with the status of the Li family, even if something goes wrong, it will definitely be able to control it.
"Medicinal materials are still medicinal materials, you can pour them however, and the impact is not great. Even if our Li family really doesn't get involved in the medicinal herb business, it will only hurt our hands and feet. We must not let the medicinal herb business affect another business, this is the foundation of our Li family's development, but we must not lose it! Old Man Li said heavily, the absolute prohibition in his tone shows the importance of losing another business.
"Uncle, don't worry. My brother took care of that business properly, and now the momentum is just right. I only vaguely heard my brother say that he has done a good job of everything involved inside and outside this business, and there is no less filial piety at all, and the cadres of the General's Mansion and the Anxi Protectorate are all divided into a lot. ”
Hearing that Old Man Li mentioned another business, Li Cishan remembered what his brother had said to him, so he took out the bowl to ease Old Man Li's heart. The elder brother is the most calculating, and there will never be any mistakes, and when my uncle hears these words, he must be able to put his mind at ease, right?
Old Man Li smiled and agreed with Li Cishan's words. With that kid taking care of that business, he is the most at ease. Among the second generation of the Li family, the most trusted and valued by Old Man Li is not Li Huishan, the son of his own Queensland Thorn History, nor the nephew Li Cishan, who is the president of the Pharmaceutical Market Guild, but the child.
Otherwise, he would not have handed over that business to him to take care of, which is equivalent to handing over the lifeblood of the Li family to him. Fortunately, the child did not disappoint him, over the years, the business he took care of is thriving, there is a trend of spreading and broadening, Mr. Li absolutely believes that the situation of that business will get bigger and bigger, and the facts have proved that the child is the best talent of the second generation.
With the help of this business, the development of the Li family is also thriving, and the resources obtained are also increasing, so that they can fully supply the development of the children in the clan, otherwise, how can the Li family become the head of the three families in Queensland?
"In the final analysis, the development of the family depends on this business, and he has a lot of it! He didn't come today, and you should also discuss with him about the medicinal herbs, so that he can know a thing or two, so as not to go wrong. Old Man Li finally said, his tone was quite relaxed.
Li Huishan and Li Cishan both nodded yes, and then looked at each other and smiled. With this business, coupled with the influence of the status of the history of thorns and the president of the medicine market, why worry about the family's prosperity? The two seemed to see a bright future for the family, and even Master Li thought so.
As everyone knows, things in the world are often unexpected and no one can completely control them. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
