Chapter 75: The Gathering of Gentlemen (Part II)
Li Shen said this, and they all listened to their fathers. In fact, they are quite envious. Looking at Li Shen talking eloquently above, I still remembered in my heart that what they had done in the past was indeed as Li Shen said, no different from the ruffians in various places.
"Even so. Have you ever heard the people say that I am a fool? The food of my Huangzhuang regards me as a benefactor. That's what differentiates me from you. Li Shen cleared his throat and asked loudly
"Do you want to spend a lot of money? Do you want to live in a big house, every day in the wine pond meat forest. Do you want to go to the four green buildings of Pingkangfang, and when all the girls see you, their eyes light up. Do you want to fight or not, even if you fight, the people will cheer for you. Do you want to throw away a few of your usual money every time you finish drinking, and then say loudly that the rest will reward you? Li Shen's voice was like a spell that induced those present. How do they know that Li Shen didn't know how many such coaching courses he had taken in his previous life.
"Yes."
"Think of us"
"Tell me louder if you want to," Li Shen shouted
The sound of "thinking" was deafening, and the emotions were agitated.
"Be louder"
"Think"
"Not loud enough"
"Think"
If this kind of guidance is placed in the future generations, it will not have such an effect. Those pyramid schemes were brainwashed for a long time before they succeeded. But for people in this day and age, it's easy.
More than 100 people shouted with red faces and thick necks, and their eyes were red. Li Shen saw that the mood was almost over. Stretching out his hand and motioning for everyone to sit down.
"Okay, since everyone thinks so, let's make a career out of it. You may have had disagreements before, and you may have had grievances. But from this moment on, we are brothers, come and hug you brothers on the other side, and from then on we will do business together and make a lot of money together. ”
After Li Shen finished speaking, the children of the civil officials were still a little squirming, and the children of the military officials got up and found someone to hug and shout brother. Li Shen felt that he was quite successful. Some of the things that you spent money to learn in your previous life are still very useful. Wait for everyone to hug each other. Li Shen asked everyone to sit down again.
Li Shen said again: "What I said is not to deceive you, and what I said is not fantasy. Today I want to lead you in fulfilling that promise. Everyone, please see," said the maids around him, and each table was handed out a large white piece of paper and a set of pen and ink.
"You see how good this paper is."
Most of the children of military attachés did not understand it, and some people on the side of civil officials began to write on it.
After a while, Tang Jian's eldest son, Tang Songling, stood up and said: "Good paper, impermeable to ink, smooth as a mirror." It is fine paper. ”
"To tell you the truth, the business I want to take you to do today is this paper business. I developed these papers myself. Li Shen didn't hide it
"Really? Was it developed by the prince? ”
"The prince is talented?"
"Can paper make money, the cost is too high, right?"
"Hear me say that this paper is my improved product. The cost is not expensive. Nowadays, a piece of paper of this size costs three pennies a piece. But my paper costs much, much less than that. I'm going to set up a big paper factory. You just need someone to build, someone to defend, someone to promote. You don't need to pay a penny. All the costs are paid by me. I pay for the technology and expenses, and I account for 30% of the dividends. My mother's concubine gets 20% of the dividend. The remaining fifty percent of the dividends are shared equally among all of you. I guarantee that each of you will not be less than 10,000 per year" In fact, Li Shen has already calculated. At present, there are nearly one million people in the entire Tang Dynasty. It's less than a tenth of the total population. But as paper becomes cheaper, more people will read books. Now the paper is in the hands of the Maison. Li Shimin has said that they are very expensive and time-consuming to make paper. Li Shen's cost is terrible low, and it is also efficient. The main raw materials are wheat straw, bellflower wood, and the like.
"Do you have any other opinions?" Li Shen looked at the discussion below and asked
"Since the brothers don't have to pay, the prince naturally has no opinion. It's just that the prince pays money and technology, and he is afraid that the prince will suffer. Li Xiaogong's son, Li Chongyi, stood up and said
"Cousin filtered. I said that I would lead you to a good life. There will be no gaffes. Money is a good thing to make. But our friendship cannot be broken. Don't worry about gains and losses. "Li Chongyi is the son of Li Xiaogong, so Li Shen wants to call his cousin
After Li Shen finished speaking, he moved a group of people again. "Since there is no opinion, it is for the sake of ensuring your interests. Let's sign an agreement. In the future, you will be the owner of my Datang Paper, and I will call you a shareholder. You have a say in the sales and promotion of our business. If you run into a problem. We can also vote at a general meeting of shareholders. There are also dividends, which I call shares. As long as more than 80% of the holders of the shares agree, it can be implemented. Another point is to ensure your legitimate interests. This agreement is indicated. Your shares may not be given away or sold to anyone unless your son can inherit them. If you don't want to play with us. Either sell to us people. Either you have to get the consent of our eight adults before you can sell it to others, otherwise the agreement will be null and void. This is also to ensure that you are not threatened. Got it. Li Shen added another one. He didn't want his family to get in.
"There is another very important thing. The production of the workshop is not regulated. In order to ensure that the technology is not leaked, the fewer people you come into contact with, the better. Therefore, the brothers who are in charge of guarding can only guard outside the workshop. Inside, I'll arrange for my people to guard it. And the workers are all my own people. It's not that I don't believe you, it's just for everyone's benefit. Thank you for your understanding. Li Shen said to them solemnly
"Understood."
"The fewer people you come into contact with, the better"
"Whoever prevents me from getting rich, I will fight with whomever I want."
The crowd expressed understanding. Li Shen said happily: "Then if there is no problem, sign your name." I have put the royal seal on every agreement. There are two agreements in total, one belongs to you, and the other is for us to keep as a voucher so that your children and grandchildren can use this agreement to receive dividends."
After everyone has signed the agreement. The maidservants took the agreement away. Li Shen said happily: "Okay, someone is coming." At the opening of the banquet, I would like to have a drink with all shareholders. After Li Shen finished speaking, a maid immediately began to serve the food. The dishes on Li Shen's house are famous in Chang'an.
Li Shen raised his glass and said to everyone, "Come, congratulations in advance on our future success." In the future, we will be the real gentleman. Everybody, don't do anything that makes us who we are. Ordinary people have nothing to bully, and they don't have a sense of accomplishment at all. If you want to bully, you will bully the hard. Whoever has a backstage we bully. We despise those who bully the weak. We don't want them to be in the company of these soft eggs who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard. The future of this Datang will be generous and glorious. Datang will definitely have a place for us in the future. A drink for our future! ”
"For Our Future"
"For Our Future"
In this way, the first conference was successfully concluded. Li Shen told the crowd that he would start building a paper workshop on the banks of the River tomorrow. Let them collect enough bellflowers, wheat stalks, trees, and linen clothes that the people don't want. There are also people who are responsible for transporting building materials. At this time, it is the end of the autumn harvest, and the fields are full of these things. Li Shen estimated that the workshop would be built in the spring. When the time comes, it will be ready for production.
Li Shen doesn't know how much money it took to complete the papermaking process this year. The main soaking potion and degumming agent in it are Li Shen's killer features. These are all configured by Li Shen and Shishi. There are so many other craft workers, it will definitely be spread. Only the core technology is in your hands.
