Hearing that the other party misunderstood himself like this, Du Shaoqing couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart Although my official position is not big, how can I say that I am also a super-rich businessman in Datang, and people who are worth millions of taels will covet your small jewelry business?
Du Shaoqing simply stopped going around the corner, since the other party's weakness is greed for money, it was good to say money directly for so long."
I don't know what Brother Yan thinks, how much does this jewelry business you want to do earn a year?"
The boss of the Yan family hesitated, this size is also a trade secret, but he was still looking forward to the opportunity to cooperate in his heart, so he thought about it for a while, and said with some confidence: "I can earn about 10,000 taels of silver a year." ”This data is still an exaggeration for him, because if he says a little more at this time, he can let Du Shaoqing see the profit.Then he added: "The cost and manpower and material resources we have invested are about 10,000 taels, and I have a way to buy gems from the Western Regions, and I can find cheap gold and silver from overseas, although the purity is not high, but it is definitely lower than the cost of making jewelry with our own gold and silver."
At that time, the shipping price is more than twice as much, and we can definitely guarantee to earn 10,000 taels a year after removing the relationship between taxes and up and down.I think about the way well, but now I don't have the capital in my hands, if Brother Du is willing to cooperate and come up with 10,000 taels for investment, then it is best to make a net profit, we can open four or six, I will be four and you six. ”Du Shaoqing: This product is really a talent, and he wants to ask me for investment.But it's not quite right, how can you say that your Yan family is also a generation of high-ranking officials and nobles, will it be short of 10,000 taels of silver?
In fact, Du Shaoqing doesn't know much that the Yan family is a serious Confucian family that abides by Confucian duties, which is different from the mixed family of five surnames and seven hopes.The real Confucian family values benevolence, etiquette, integrity, and light wealth and enjoyment, so the Yan family has always been diligent and thrifty, and Yan Shigu is very strict with his son, so the Yan family has not accumulated much wealth.But the Yan family has been an official for several generations, where did the money go?
The answer is very simple, they were all replaced with books, before the movable type was printed, it was very difficult for the ancients to print books, they needed to be engraved page by page, and the cost of labor and paper was very high.And in addition, most of the ancient people had the concept of writing books and saying that they would be handed down, so most of the Yan family's assets were spent here, and the most famous is the Yan family motto written by Yan Shigu's grandfather Yan Zhitui, which can be said to be a masterpiece that has been passed down through the ages."
Wait, you just said that you have a way to get gold and silver from overseas?"
Du Shaoqing noticed this sentence.The boss of the Yan family was a little worried: "This is true, but don't worry, I just got gold and silver to make jewelry, and I will definitely not violate the law of the Tang Dynasty." ”Du Shaoqing knew that the other party had misunderstood again, because few people dared to make money with gold and silver privately, and Datang's gold and silver were strictly controlled by the state, and it was illegal and a felony to mint money privately.Therefore, the backbone of the market is copper coins, and then there is official silver, which has the seal of the government."
I want to ask you where the cheap gold and silver come from?
As far as I know, the ships of the Tang Dynasty can't run too far now, and the nearby countries are all poor and small, even if it is Goguryeo, there is not much gold and silver. ”Du Shaoqing was puzzled."
This, donkey, this road is something I have built with great difficulty, you, your family has a big business, you shouldn't be able to look down on it" The boss of the Yan family complained bitterly, and said in his heart that this is also a famous big man in the business world, why don't you pay attention to the rules at all?
These things shouldn't be snooped into.Du Shaoqing said loudly: "I'm not coveting your personal gold and silver, I just want to know which country has cheap gold and silver, if the supply is enough, it is good for the country, and it also saves us from sending people around the country every year to find ores, refining, casting and so on." ”"Don't you, after talking for a long time, you still want to cut off my wealth?""
How can you say that?
If you guard this path alone, how much money can you make in a year?
Ten thousand taels?
If Datang starts in an all-round way, the benefits will be unlimited.So take a long-term view.As for your personal losses, it's a big deal that I personally or the treasury will contribute to you to make up for it, what do you think?
If this matter is confirmed, not only will you make money, but the court will also give you credit. ”Well, Du Shaoqing's mouth stunned the boss of the Yan family, and his chest began to thump, according to this, it seems that he really has no loss, and he can exchange a message for a huge credit.After hesitating for a moment, gritting his teeth, the old Yan family said: "Since it is for the country, then I will say, there is a small country overseas called the Wa State, and the former Sui sent an envoy to punish the Sui, and he was also canonized by the Emperor of the Great Cause."
A few years ago, they sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, these people did not rush back, but have been staying here to study, by chance I met them, and made friends with them, they told me that several families in the country of the Japanese have gold and silver utensils, but crude utensils.So I found someone to go there, and I bought a batch cheaply, the purity of which was less than seventy percent of Datang's gold and silver, but despite this, the profit was more than three times. ”After listening quietly, Du Shaoqing was already stunned, isn't this the Japanese country talking about, isn't it the overseas little devil?
And if they have gold and silver in every house, what does it mean, there can only be one possibility that there are plenty of gold and silver mines in the local area!
Thinking of this, Du Shaoqing regretted that he didn't learn some other knowledge in his previous life, and he didn't know if the Wa Kingdom was rich in gold and silver mines.But this news must be told to the emperor, nine times out of ten it will bring a huge fortune to Datang, as for the gold and silver profits that the boss of the Yan family said, three or four times the profit?
Du Shaoqing's eyes were cold, the country of Wa?
Do you need to be polite to them?
Directly send a large army over, either rob or enslave and then rob, it is simply a business without capital, even the people are ours, profits?
Joke!"
Brother Du, Brother Du" The boss of the Yan family watched Du Shaoqing's face change a few times, and gradually became a little uneasy, puzzled, could it be that he said something wrong?
After a long time, Du Shaoqing came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's distracted for a while, it's rude!"
Brother Yan's news is absolutely beneficial to the country, I will show your majesty, and I will definitely reward you for your merits when the time comes. ”"So, what about the jewelry business between the two of us?"
Du Shaoqing laughed: "Brother Yan, the jewelry business is viable, I won't blink my eyes if I vote for 10,000 taels for you."
But in my opinion, Brother Yan's talent, if he is confined to a jewelry business, is too condescending. ”The boss of the Yan family was flushed with excitement, what does it mean to be wealthy?
This is called wealth, 10,000 taels?
Don't blink an eye?
When will you be able to reach this level yourself?"
So, in this way, our cooperation is done?"
Du Shaoqing waved his hand and said, "Maybe I didn't make it clear before."
I took a fancy to Brother Yan's talent, and now my Du Family Chamber of Commerce is the time to recruit troops.The big shopkeeper of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce is my fiancée Xiao Wu, she just lacks a capable deputy, a second shopkeeper who is proficient in all walks of life, I don't know if Brother Yan is willing to condescend?
”The boss of the Yan family opened his mouth slightly in astonishment and said, "Du, Brother Du, you are not wrong?"
Let me be the second shopkeeper of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce?
”"That's right!
But Brother Yan dislikes the small temple of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce?
Can't do it?
”Du Shaoqing said with a smile."
Of course not, on the contrary, but the Du Family Chamber of Commerce is too big, and there is no nationality and no name in the next matter, I am afraid that I will not be able to bear the heavy responsibility, and it will be a big sin to delay Brother Du's business when the time comes!"
Du Shaoqing pressed the other party's hand and comforted: "Where is it, Brother Yan is just unlucky, you have to have confidence in yourself."
Since you say you can do it, then you can.However, my chamber of commerce has just started, and the salary can only be opened to 20,000 taels of silver a year, depending on the chamber of commerce's profit in a year, and there is a year-end dividend. ”"Much, how much?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Brother Du is not kidding?
Are you sure it's 20,000 taels of silver?
And not twenty thousand?
”"Yes, twenty thousand taels of silver.How can it be twenty thousand?
How much is 20,000 dollars?
Twenty is about equal to twenty taels of silver, if the second shopkeeper of my Du Family Chamber of Commerce has a salary of twenty taels a year, I am afraid that people will laugh off their big teeth if it is passed out!
Of course, less is less, and the Du Family Chamber of Commerce has just started, and the stalls will be spread out in the future, and the salary will naturally increase. ”The boss of the Yan family smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Du is ashamed of me!"
Now it seems that the jewelry business I want to do is really an axe, tired and tired of a year of hard work, earning 10,000 taels, less than half the salary of a second shopkeeper of your Du Family Chamber of Commerce, this "Du Shaoqing also felt a little embarrassed, is he too rich?"
It can't be compared like this, they are all self-made, Brother Yan is limited to no capital, my Du Family Chamber of Commerce is just using a lot of money to make a lot of profits, everyone's achievements are the same."
These words made the boss of the Yan family even more ashamed, how old is he?
How old is Du Shaoqing?
How old is his fiancée's big shopkeeper?
In contrast, I have lived to a dog at my own age."
Of course, if you join my family's chamber of commerce, you may not be as good as doing business on your own in terms of freedom, I'm afraid it will be hard for Brother Yan."
Du Shaoqing said.The boss of the Yan family said with emotion: "Brother Du, don't say it again, it's too high-spirited."
The people of the world despise us who only do business for profit, and do not pay attention to morality, and even ridicule our businessmen's wealth for not earning anything.But how can there be anything in this world that is not earned?
If you want to have more, you must pay more.Doing business on your own seems to be free, but in fact it is harder than condescending to others, after all, your own business, you must always care about it, a bad thing is that the boat capsizes, and it is not easy to lose money. ”Du Shaoqing nodded approvingly, it is true, don't look at the sudden rise of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce, which occupied a place among the rich people of the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop, but the hard work of all the business was pressed on the little girl Wu Zhao.If it weren't for her, Du Shaoqing wouldn't want to be a shopkeeper, and because of this, the lovers lack to get together and leave more, Du Shaoqing sometimes feels a little unbearable when he thinks of this, after all, the little girl is not yet an adult.After some discussion, the two decided on cooperation, Yan Shigu heard that his son followed the Du Family Chamber of Commerce, although he didn't like the other party to follow the way of business, but finally there was no objection.Even a rare voice expressed support, because with the Du Family Chamber of Commerce, someone restrained him from at least not taking a fork in the road, and if he did a good job, he might be able to get a good reputation, which was better than his own tossing at home.Yan Shigu told in front of everyone: "Follow Shaoqing to do things in a down-to-earth manner, the Du Family Chamber of Commerce is different from other families, Your Majesty said personally, the Du Family Chamber of Commerce is a real Tang Dynasty businessman, and almost all income and business are doing things for the imperial court."
In many ways, the role is greater than that of the national treasury, and if you can join the company, it can be regarded as contributing to the country, and you must fight for the old man. ”Du Shaoqing didn't expect this old man to open up today, not only did he not lose his temper, but it was impressive, so he relaxed and was invited to stay at Yan's house to participate in a family banquet.Afterwards, Du Shaoqing told Wu Zhao about the second shopkeeper, Wu Zhao smiled, and said that this nerd is still worried about himself, knowing that recruiting troops and buying horses, a huge chamber of commerce, and not worrying about making money, but there is a lack of talents, and he is tired and tired to death.On this day, Du Shaoqing remembered the matter of the gold and silver of the Wa Kingdom, so he went into the palace to discuss with his old father-in-law to see if he could find a way to use troops against the Wa State.Seeing his son-in-law coming, Li Er didn't get down to business first, but handed over a letter, "Take a look, I guess you'll be interested." ”What did Du Shaoqing say in his heart?
Looks like a piece of intelligence, about whom?
When he opened it, Du Shaoqing was stunned, how could it be?
Cui Yanmu, the old patriarch of the Cui clan in Qinghe, died?"
This, this is impossible, I showed him last year, and the old man has at least three months to live!"
Li Er was surprised: "Oh?
You kid still know how to tell fortunes?
Why didn't I see you do the math for me?
”Puff Du Shaoqing is also speechless, how can this cheap father-in-law envy everything?
In case you are given a short life, how do you deal with yourself?"
Where is fortune telling?
I deduced it by virtue of my medical skills, his physical condition was almost exhausted last year, and he would support it for a year at most, but I didn't expect that people are not as good as heaven, and Mr.
Cui actually said that he would leave. ”Du Shaoqing said with emotion.Li Er was puzzled: "Oh?
Listen to your tone, I appreciate this old man very much?
I haven't been in contact with it, but his son Cui Junsu is in the court, so it doesn't seem to be anything special. ”"It is not easy to be able to be in charge of the Qinghe Cui clan alone for decades, how can it be idle?
And it is also the strongest vein of the five surnames and seven hopes.The other six families are not relatively young heads of the family, but the Qinghe Cui family, with an old man in his nineties, his son Cui Junsu is far inferior to the old man Cui.Ay!
Speaking of which, the son-in-law also had an agreement with the old man to go in person in March this year to see him off" Speaking of this, Du Shaoqing exclaimed: "Not good!
Father-in-law, I need to leave for Qinghe immediately. ”Li Er frowned and scolded: "You kid, Old Man Cui has passed away, and you are still worried about seeing you off, everyone has closed their eyes, and they can't catch up." ”"No, it's my apprentice Cui Hao who is in danger!""
Huh?
What's going on?
Cui Hao?
Isn't he Old Man Cui's grandson?
”
