Shen Jin frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "You mean to let the Shen family take the lead, and the Li family will share the money?" ”

Li Qing was noncommittal: "Wouldn't you be happy to have such a win-win cooperation?" ”

"Hehe......" Shen Jin chuckled and shook his head, "You also know that this is Baoding Mansion, which is very close to the Jingshi, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the Shen family is also walking on thin ice." ”

After a pause, "Since the son knows my old man, he should also know why my old man came to the north, right?" ”

Li Qing was silent.

Shen Jin continued: "Shang doesn't fight with officials, the old man repeatedly told him before leaving, don't deal with officials anymore, hide if you can, avoid if you can, avoid if you can, you can't dodge, try to spend money;

My Shen family has lived in the Splendid Jiangnan for generations, just because...... A certain big man had to move to Baoding Mansion, how could he make the same mistake twice? ”

Li Qing smiled slightly and said, "The big man that Boss Shen said is the last Yongqing Marquis, right?" ”

"I didn't say that." Shen Jin shook his head.

Li Qing didn't refute it, but said: "I also heard about the original thing, it was because your old man asked too much, and he took the initiative to make friends with the officials of Nanzhili, so he ended up like this, but in general, the Shen family did not lose money, but made a lot of money." ”

Li Qing took a sip of tea and said, "If he hadn't wanted to bypass Yongqing Hou at the beginning, how could this have happened?" If he had followed the advice of the Marquis of Yongqing, your Shen family would not be in the current situation. ”

"The past is gone." Shen Jin diverted the topic and said: "In short, the Li family's kindness is understood by the Shen family, but it is difficult to obey fate." ”

This is Baoding Mansion, which is very close to Jingshi, and Shen Jin is confident that the Li family will not dare to mess around.

Although the Li family is extremely rich and has monstrous authority, the head of the Li family is away all the year round, and Baoding Mansion is not within the scope of its power.

Therefore, he was not very panicked.

Li Qing smiled and teased: "You really think it's just that the Li family wants to make money?" ”

"What do you mean?" Shen Jin was surprised, he was shrewd, and he had a faint premonition.

Li Qing didn't answer, and said quietly: "With the financial resources and background of the Li family, if you want to make money, you don't want to do the business in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and come all the way to cooperate with your Shen family?" ”

Shen Jin furrowed his brows and said, "Childe might as well say it clearly." ”

"I can't say it." Li Qing shook his head, "It is true that the Shen family's financial resources are not inferior to the Li family, but this does not make the Li family rush to cooperate with your Shen family." ”

Shen Jin can be the head of the family, but how can he be an ordinary person.

If the words are too clear, it is not easy to win people's trust, so it is more true to say half of it and leave half of it.

Sure enough, Shen Jin did not disappoint Li Qing.

"Childe is saying that the Li family is just a matchmaker?"

"Hehe......" Li Qing smiled and picked up the teacup, tasting the tea, not speaking, but not denying it.

Seeing this, Shen Jin trusted his judgment even more.

"Childe, can you elaborate on the cooperation?"

"Haha...... Boss Shen is exquisite. Li Qing put down the teacup and said, "Now that the maritime business is not good, I think Boss Shen also has a deep understanding, right?" ”

Shen Jin sighed lightly and nodded, waiting for the following.

Li Qing continued: "Boss Shen is a businessman, and he should know that there are only two ways to make money, either buy at a low price or sell at a high price, of course, having both is the foundation of making a lot of money;

It's just that with the current situation of maritime merchants, it is not possible to sell at a high price, and you can only buy at a low price. ”

Shen Jin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said tentatively: "What does Childe mean by acquiring small and medium-sized industries?" ”

Eliminating the middleman to make the difference in price can naturally reduce costs, and at the same time, profits will come up.

Shen Jin naturally knew this, but he didn't dare to do it, for fear of being too presumptuous and being targeted by the imperial court, to be precise, for fear of being targeted by the officials.

He knows very well why his Shen family moved over.

"Boss Shen is smart." Li Qing nodded with a smile, "As long as you don't force you to buy and sell, don't violate the law, and don't give people a grip, what's the matter?" ”

Shen Jin was moved, but he was also worried, afraid that this was a trap.

"The Shen family is not so ambitious, and they are very satisfied with the status quo." Shen Jin chose to refuse.

Li Qing saw that he didn't get in the oil and salt, so he simply said: "I didn't come to discuss cooperation with Boss Shen, but to discuss cooperation, and I asked Boss Shen to sort this out." ”

He said lightly: "As the saying goes: people in the rivers and lakes, they can't help themselves; Some things are not whether you want to or not, but whether you can or not, Boss Shen thinks...... Can you say no? ”

"You're ......!" Shen Jin was angry, but he didn't dare to get angry.

After a while, he said dejectedly: "My Shen family is willing to break the wealth and eliminate the disaster." ”

"Hehe, you're here to rob? Still think...... The people behind the Li family are intent on robbery? Li Qing sneered.

Shen Jin was terrified.

He didn't expect that he would be so low-key and still be targeted by the imperial court.

At this point, he still didn't understand that it was not the Li family who really cooperated with him, but ...... Royal.

Refuse?

Look for death!

Shen Jin had to accept his fate and lamented: "Son, just say it." ”

"That's right." Li Qing smiled and said, "Actually, it's very simple, first, you can't break the law, second, you can't treat workers harshly, and third, you can't annex land;

In addition, even if Boss Shen makes a move, no one will trouble you. ”

"What about the conditions?" Shen Jin asked.

"Make the stall bigger, and within three years, the scale of the Shen family's industry will be doubled, so as to increase the tax revenue of the imperial court."

Shen Jin pondered for a long time and asked, "What else?" ”

"It's gone."

"That's it?" Shen Jin was shocked.

Li Qing said with a smile: "There is some money, the Li family has no courage to make it, Boss Shen is a smart person, he should know who the person behind it is." ”

“…… Shen understands. Shen Jin smiled bitterly: "Childe is fake when he talks about cooperation, and the order is true!" ”

Li Qing smiled and looked serious: "Boss Shen knows it in his heart, just don't say it, if it spreads, it may not be good for the Shen family." ”

Shen Jin was stunned and hurriedly said: "Shen lost his words, and he won't be in the future." ”

"Hmm." Li Qing smiled again and said, "Boss Shen is a businessman, and he should be able to see that doing this will benefit your Shen family without harm." ”

How could the royal family be so kind? Shen Jin was worried and forced out a smile.

Li Qing got up and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will help, and when everything is in order, I will leave." ”

"Huh?" Shen Jin was dumbfounded: You still have to supervise?

"Don't be so impressed."

"......" Shen Jin smiled bitterly and admitted, "I'm sorry to trouble Gongzi Li." ”

…

The Shen family began to spend money......

At first, Shen Jin was still trembling, but as time went by, he gradually became numb.

Every day, I throw a lot of money, either spending money, or on the way to spend money, constantly buying and buying.

Eat the small industry, organize the self-sufficient industrial chain, and be busy every day without touching the ground, just like this, with Li Qing's help, otherwise, he will be even more anxious.

However, it is foreseeable that as long as the imperial court does not give him a salary, the money he spends now will be earned back in the future, and he will make a lot of money.

All industries are their own, and the cost of production has been reduced by at least thirty percent, although it is now in the north, the Shen family has not fallen into maritime trade, but has only increased some transportation costs, and this place is close to Beijing, away from the sky. Jingang is not far away, so it can be two-pronged.

One million taels, two million taels, three million taels...... In just half a year's effort, the Shen family scattered five million taels, and all the industries within a radius of more than 100 miles were all controlled by the Shen family.

His hands were almost stretched out to Jingshi.

Li Qing was not idle, he helped Shen Jin integrate the industrial chain, and while planning the development route, he was very busy.

The Shen family released a large amount of wealth, which really benefited the people, because the money will not disappear, it will only transfer.

In addition, in the process of integration, additional expenses will be added to the acquired industries, such as repairing and expanding workshops, adding workers and tools......

Even, Shen Jin also built a road and two bridges to facilitate more efficient transportation.

Invest, invest, or?? investment ......

The Shen family has a big business, but they can't stand such flowers!

On this day, Shen Jin listened to the account report and learned that there were only more than 100,000 taels of cash left, so he finally came to his senses, stopped going up, and stopped buying, buying, buying.

Shen Jin has never studied finance, but he knows what the consequences will be if the capital chain collapses.

When he found Li Qing, he didn't care if he would be offended, and said directly: "From this moment on, the Shen family will not invest a penny again, otherwise, it will be doomed." ”

Li Qing was very talkative, nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then let's do it first." ”

He knew that the Shen family's cash was about to run out.

No matter how many industries there are, they also need cash to operate, and Li Qing naturally understands this truth.

Unconsciously, he had been in Baoding Mansion for half a year, and there were still many things to solve, and it took longer than he expected.

Shen Jin relaxed a little and asked, "Is Gongzi Li going to recover his life?" ”

"I'll help you for a while, I'll leave in the fall." Li Qing said with relief, "You don't need to worry about anything, do business as you should, pay taxes honestly, and there will be no problems." ”

After a pause, "If you really want to find fault with the Shen family, you can't do this." ”

Hearing this, Shen Jin's heart was settled.

This is the truth, in the era of the supremacy of imperial power, no matter how rich a businessman is, it is not enough to see it, the key is that there is no one in the Shen family who is an official in the court.

If the emperor wanted to plunder his Shen family, there was no need to go to such great lengths.

Li Qingdao: "Remember, on the premise of ensuring the operation of the workshop, with money, continue to expand the scale of the workshop. ”

Shen Jin nodded and asked, "Can Shen ask, the emperor...... Why? ”

"In this way, it is good for everyone." Li Qing said with a smile, "As soon as I came, the Shen family's business was big; Second, more people have a job; Third, there are more taxes; Why not? ”

Shen Jin was stunned, but he was also a little worried, "Maritime trade is not as easy as it was back then, and the scale is excessively expanded...... I'm afraid that the goods will smash in my hands! ”

"You can rest assured of this," Li Qing assured, "If that's the case, how much goods you have left, how much the Li family in Jinling will eat, and you will never lose money." ”

After a pause, he added, "This is also what Mrs. Li meant." ”

"Really?"

"Do I need to lie to you?" Li Qing sneered, "However, you will have to give a discount at that time." ”

Shen Jin was relieved in his heart and said with a smile: "This is no problem, small profits but quick turnover." ”
