757th: [Rebate]

……

The queen smiled.

That kind of signature fox smile makes people can't help but clutch their pockets when they see it, or they will be deceived by the other party if they are not careful.

She said gloomily: "I just know that you have invested all your money in loans and coal mines, so I will offer you such a high price, so that you can't get it!" ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, he realized that he had asked the queen for a loan before, but the queen only paid 20,000 yuan.

This money sounds big, but for the queen, it is clearly small.

At that time, Li Chengqian was still strange, but the queen didn't say it, so he was lazy and didn't ask.

Now I finally understand that the queen just wants to pull Li Chengqian into the water, and then let Li Chengqian spend all the money, so she won't go to grab the shares of the maritime merchant with her.

This mom is really bad!

But at this time, you can't ask the queen to settle this account.

He put a smile on his face and said to the queen: "Queen Mother, you see if this will work, if you waive the fare, then I can scrape together some money, and then our mother and son will go together to earn money at sea!" ”

"Well, this one!" The queen hesitated.

Li Chengqian clapped his hands and said decisively: "Queen Mother, in the future, if you are here in Hualushui, I will give you a rebate of 30%!" ”

"Huh? Kickback? The queen was curious about the new word and asked.

Li Chengqian explained: "It's the agency fee that everyone is the same, and you can't give you less clearly, but you can wait for the flower water agency fee to be paid, and then return the money to you, which is a rebate." ”

"Oh. This sounds good, but the queen mother is learning again. The queen chuckled.

Li Chengqian listened. Hey hey, smile.

He looked at the queen, and here he had already spit out his interests. You should be a little bit of a show over there, right?

The queen also knew what Li Chengqian meant, so she nodded and said:

"Okay then, I'll give you half of my boat fare, so it's okay!"

Less than half, that's 20,000.

But there are still 20,000 pieces, isn't that the same number?

"Queen Mother, can you ......" Li Chengqian still wanted to bargain.

The queen said, "You said it too. I also have to show others, if others want to get on the boat and see that you are free, then what about them, they don't all want to find Hongu for free, then it's not impossible to say. For the sake of the rebate you gave, this palace will give you half price. ”

"Queen Mother, why don't we discuss it again?" Li Chengqian asked.

The queen snorted, and was not interested in going on.

Li Chengqian really couldn't say that the queen was too much in the end. I had to go back and figure out a way.

Returning to the East Palace, Li Chengqian immediately activated the first state of emergency in the East Palace!

In a state of emergency, Xiao Chen immediately returned to the Lizheng Palace.

She didn't know what was going on, but as soon as she entered the door. was about to ask Li Chengqian, but was pulled aside by Li Chengqian and sat with Su Mi. talked about the maritime business.

Xiao Chen and Su Mi were stunned when they heard this.

They were all shocked by the queen's boldness.

Li Chengqian was only half-drunk when he was not drunk, and he said such a call. The queen actually believed it, and acted on it so quickly. It only took half a year to get the ship ready, which is really fast.

If Xiao Chen and Su Mi heard what Li Chengqian said, they would only treat it as a joke. Even if there is enough evidence to prove that what Li Chengqian said is true, then they will prepare well for a long time, not only to pick up ships, people, and goods, but even to go to Europe to have a look first, and then to prepare for the cargo ship to pass.

With such a comparison, the gap between the two and the queen came out.

Su Mi is good to say, she is not a talent on the queen's side.

And Xiao Chen secretly decided that he must learn from the queen in the future.

But now is not the time to talk about this, but the matter of the lack of money in the East Palace.

The queen's ship is about to set sail, and I don't know how much I will earn this time, Li Chengqian will not be willing to go in if he does not insert a leg.

To get a leg in, you need money.

First of all, the boat fare, 20,000 yuan!

This amount of money is enough for Li Chengqian, he doesn't have so much money now!

As for the money for other goods, even the cost of a ship is so high, then the cost of the goods will only be more.

And the East Palace can't even afford the ship fare, let alone the goods.

If Donggong can't make up the money, Li Chengqian will lose this opportunity to go to sea.

That is not in line with Li Chengqian's intentions.

So the most important point in the East Palace now is to make money!

There are several ways to get the money from the East Palace.

Flower water, coal mines, cement plants.

Now the paper mill is not able to make money, and can only barely maintain the status quo.

The toilet water and cement factories are just in the first quarter of the year and have not yet generated much profit. And like toilet water, it is in the stage of expansion, and the profits are invested in the expansion, and there is no money to take it out.

Coal mines, on the other hand, have to deal with loans.

Although the coal industry made a fortune during the winter, it was also collected by Li Chengqian and put into loans.

Behind is the agency fee collected, except for a few agency fees that are paid by their own family, some of them are from Li Chengqian's loans.

After taking a loan from Li Chengqian, he went to cooperate with Li Chengqian's coal mine, which sounds as if he took money from Li Chengqian's pocket and put it into Li Chengqian's pocket.

That's only part of the story. Not all the money from the loan went back to Li Chengqian's pocket.

In addition to the agency fee paid, those royal relatives also needed money to develop their business, so after paying the agency fee with the loan money, they kept a part of it to do business.

Therefore, the money that Li Chengqian recovered was almost half.

So in this way, Li Chengqian's loan department still has nearly 20,000 yuan.

But the 20,000 cannot be used. Because it was shared by Li Chengqian and the queen.

In this way, Li Chengqian's money is only the agency fee of the imperial relatives who personally paid for it.

It's about 10,000 to 20,000.

And part of this money has already been used in Hedong Road.

In this way, it is troublesome.

It's not enough to even pay the boat fare.

Time. Li Chengqian, Xiao Chen, and Su Mi all frowned. I'm worried about the money.

"Otherwise, let's talk to the Queen Mother. Give us the money from the loan department first? Su Mi came up with an idea.

Hearing this idea, Li Chengqian shook his head.

Xiao Chen also shook his head.

Su Mi was strange: "Why, anyway, the family's money was used first." ”

"This is business, if we take it, and we want to do it again next time, then we will all think about whether we will take it out for private use, and when the time comes, it will not be in accordance with the rules, and it will not be round. There's no way to do it anymore. Li Chengqian said: "And the queen mother must have guessed that we would do this, and she would definitely not let us succeed." When the time comes, we embezzle the money, and the queen mother takes out the previous contract, then we will lose all the money we have earned to the queen mother. ”

Li Chengqian knows that in life and emotionally, he and the queen are mother and son, but in business, the queen will not show mercy to Li Chengqian. I won't let Li Chengqian play the emotional card against her, otherwise she will die miserably!

"Your Highness, the queen will not agree to our misappropriation, so what about our loan?" Xiao Chen suddenly said softly.

Li Chengqian turned his head to look at Xiao Chen.

Su Mi listened. Nodding his head, he asked, "What is the difference between our loan and our misappropriation?" Oh yes. If it is a loan, you have to pay interest, so that. We get the money, and when we get there, we can pay back the interest on what we earn! ”

"We can't borrow it ourselves. That's no different from misappropriation, it's written in the queen's contract! Li Chengqian said.

He looked at Xiao Chen, she got the contract, she couldn't forget it, and it was impossible for her to say such a thing when she knew about it.

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "My brother." ”

In a word, it is a breakthrough.

Li Chengqian smiled.

When Su Mi heard this, she also knew what was going on, and she laughed along.

He can't take out a loan, but the Chen family has nothing to do with the loan, and he can take out a loan.

And after the loan, no one stipulated that the money could not be borrowed!

As long as you can pay back the money in the end, it's fine.

Therefore, this loophole is completely exploitable.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "How much money can my brother-in-law pay, we still have to prepare these collaterals." Now there are only more than 20,000 yuan left in the loan department, if the loan is fully loaned, then the loan department will not be able to operate, we have to consider how to maintain a balance here! ”

"No!" Xiao Chen said loudly, "Why do you have to keep money in this loan department, these money will only be empty all the time." Our loan department is only in the trial stage, and for the time being, we can only do it in the royal family, and if others don't say that they can't get a loan at all, they won't believe us. Therefore, this money can only be kept idle except for the loan of the royal family in advance. Then we take all the money out and ask the loan department to stop, just follow up on the money that was lent out, and we don't have to do anything else. ”

As soon as Xiao Chen explained this, Li Chengqian figured it out, so he made up his mind to stop the loan department from lending to the outside world.

Looking for Chen Qiuming's matter, Li Chengqian decided to go to find it in person tomorrow, and it happened that Chen Qiuming had returned to Chang'an recently, and he would go out again in two days, I was afraid that the next time I saw him, I don't know if it was more than ten days or more than a month.

After discussing this matter, Li Chengqian remembered Cui Ru's return to Beijing.

He told Cui Ru that he was going to join the coal mine, but Xiao Chen's eyes lit up after hearing it!

"Okay, we're short of money, so someone is coming to give us money!" Xiao Chen said happily.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then understood that this was to use Cui Ru's money to make up for the maritime merchants!

"Uh, will this be a trap for Cui Ru, maybe after he knows about the maritime business, he can't help but find a way to come in. In this way, we first pit his money in, and he knows about it, so it's not kind! Li Chengqian thought about it and said embarrassedly.

For him, no matter what the reason for coming together with Cui Ru, their current friendship is real, and he doesn't want to ruin this friendship because of this.
