No. 676: [Goguryeo Dividends]
No. 676: [Goguryeo Dividends]
……
Li Chengqian looked at Maitreya Buddha's unashamed look, and he knew that there must be some reason that could not be stopped by manpower to make him end the flower water business and return to Chang'an in advance.
He looked attentive, waiting to hear Maitreya's explanation.
"Your Royal Highness, the weather in Goguryeo is different from our Chang'an, it is late autumn in September, and you have to wear a leather jacket there, and when you enter October, it will begin to snow, if you don't come back in October, in November and February, it will be ice and snow, and you can't even go out of the door in Goguryeo, you really can't do business in that weather, instead of spending there, it's better to come back and wait for the queen and His Royal Highness the prince!" In the end, Maitreya Buddha bowed to Li Chengqian and the queen with his fists.
Hearing his words, Li Chengqian realized that Goguryeo was in the northeast, and the weather was indeed bad, and people who lived in a place with mild weather like Chang'an would not be able to stand it at all.
It's a bad day, and there's no way to do business at all. If you think about it, customers don't even go out, and naturally no one comes to the store to buy toilet water.
However, Li Chengqian did not listen to it all. Maitreya Buddha didn't mean to stop doing business. Just listen to Maitreya Buddha go on to say:
"There are people left in every store under Goguryeo, everything has been arranged, and if any grandfather needs flower water, he will immediately arrange people to send it to the mansion to ensure that the flower water market opened up in Goguryeo will not be broken!" Maitreya Buddha felt slightly guilty, "It's just because I can't open the store bigger in this ghost weather, so the minister temporarily returned to Chang'an!" ”
The market that Goguryeo has just opened, if it is winter. As long as all the people who sell toilet water run out, isn't that a bad reputation. Is the market channel broken?
This has to keep people and maintain this channel!
For the arrangement of Maitreya Buddha. The queen is very beautiful, and Li Chengqian also nodded.
"Well, you've done a great job!" The queen complimented: "What you have done in Goguryeo is very good!" ”
She gave Maitreya a white thumbs up.
When Maitreya Buddha saw it, his body trembled with excitement, he couldn't help himself, tears fell, and his voice trembled and he wanted to say something, but he could only make one or two choking sounds.
After a while. He calmed down slightly and said, "It's an honor for the queen to go to the soup for the queen!" ”
He raised his head slightly, looked out of the palace gate, where the sun was shining, the sky was clear and blue, and his voice sighed happily: "It's still good for Chang'an, the weather here is to support people, Goguryeo is only afraid that it is already drifting with thick snow now!" ”
The weather in that part of the Northeast. Of course, Li Chengqian knew that he understood Maitreya Buddha's words very well.
At this time, the queen took out an account book and handed it to Li Chengqian to read.
Li Chengqian didn't know what the account book was at first. But when I think that Maitreya Buddha is here, it should be the account of Goguryeo. The queen gave it to him, just to let him see. He opened it and looked at it twice. It's about dividends.
Li Chengqian also had a small stake in the business of Goguryeo. So this dividend also has his part.
He rolled his eyes, and his eyes couldn't help but get bigger and bigger!
Good guys. Maitreya Buddha went to Goguryeo, and it was only two months before and after, not even a quarter, but the sales were three times more than Chen Qiuming's flower water, and the profit was seven or eight times more, which is too rebellious, right?
But then I thought about it, no, the amount of perfume given to Maitreya Buddha is only fifty catties, and the amount is not as good as Chen Qiuming's side, why is the sales higher than here?
Li Chengqian turned over and over the account book with doubts, but he didn't see the key, which is too strange!
The queen seemed to have a smile on her face, and when she saw that Li Chengqian was in a hurry, she stretched out her hand and scratched the root of her ear, so she nodded: "Flower water is a fresh product, and Goguryeo is an outsider, of course, this money can be made as much as possible, and the price of flower water will be three or four times higher in Goguryeo, and someone will come to buy it, so this money is more!" ”
Three or four times?
It turned out that the price had flipped up, no wonder the sales were so high. One bottle can withstand three or four bottles in Chang'an.
But this look, the perfume is only fifty catties, which is as wrong as this sales?
Look at the queen is not an honest person, look at Maitreya Buddha...... He can get the attention of the queen and hand over the first order to him, which shows that he is not an honest person...... Without the queen's 100%, I'm afraid that I can get a hundred and seventy, all of them are refined characters, is it too honest to double three or four times, from the perspective of excessive sales, I am afraid that it will increase by five or six times!
The price of toilet water in Chang'an is consistent.
When I arrived in Goguryeo, it doubled by three or four times or even five or six times, and I topped several bottles in Chang'an, and it was still pure profit!
The price of several bottles is sold as one bottle, and the cost of only one bottle is paid, then the profit is high, and in this way, the profit is higher than Chen Qiuming.
After figuring it out, Li Chengqian continued to flip back.
At the end, there are dividends from various shareholders, including Li Chengqian.
Seeing this amount, Li Chengqian was taken aback, what a lot of money!
I don't know how long Li Chengqian stayed, a smile appeared on the corner of the queen's mouth, she pulled the account book back from Li Chengqian's hand, and said, "Isn't it just money, you can be so surprised?" ”
Li Chengqian came back to his senses, and he was going to despise the queen's words!
Isn't it money?
It's too high-minded, it seems that you don't want money, treat money as dung, and don't talk about who was anxious about money a few months ago, grabbing his wife and son to help!
But Li Chengqian didn't dare to say it.
Li Chengqian's eyes rolled, and a lewd face appeared. With a smile, he said flatteringly to the queen: "Queen Mother, this flower water was invented by Erchen, and this going to Goguryeo to do business was Erchen's idea for your second elder, at that time, Ma Erchen had limited money in his hands, and he could only get a little of your shares, and now Erchen has dividends, can you let Erchen exchange some shares?" ”
Now it's only two months to earn so much, next spring is coming, Maitreya Buddha, a money-making machine, and then throw it back to Goguryeo to scourge, so how much money can you earn from March to late autumn October?
Li Chengqian's pitiful shares are too small, it's better to exchange them for a little more now, it's really a loss!
The queen's phoenix eyes curled, and the little red mole at the corner of her mouth trembled slightly with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she made a soft voice, but with a burst of threat: "Cheng Qian, this dividend is a dividend, if you don't take it, your father has spent a lot of money recently, if you don't want it, your father will write you a note, it should be borrowed!" You want shares, the queen mother can't say for sure, and I want you to talk to your father! ”
Talk to Lao Li, that's no longer to talk!
With Lao Li's character, the dividends stayed with him, and it was really possible that they would be misappropriated. You must know that Lao Li even dares to embezzle the country's money, and what dare not embezzle his son's money, I am afraid that it will be more blatant!
Note? I'm afraid that Lao Li won't take the initiative to open a note, and he will only wait until Li Chengqian goes to find him, and he will open a note for Li Chengqian to deal with, and then the money will be gone!
"Forget it!" Li Chengqian said with a retreat.
He looked up and asked, "When will the money be available?" ”
"Most of the goods I brought back were not much money, and I needed to sell them before I could count them as money. If you want to take it first, you can go to the inner house to pay it first! The queen said.
He waved his hand and said, "Then let's wait for the money to come and get it!" ”
Maitreya Buddha arched his hand to the queen and Li Chengqian, and said: "Queen Mother, Your Highness, the matter here is over, and the minister still needs to go to the spy courtyard with the subordinates who came back from Goguryeo, so I will leave first!" ”
When I went to the spy house, of course, I wanted to learn about the social customs of Goguryeo, as well as the social structure and various personal relationships from these people who had been to Goguryeo, which would become information about Goguryeo. In particular, Li Xiaogong has a department in the spy house that specializes in dealing with Goguryeo, and they need these materials to train the spies sent to Goguryeo!
"Go down!" The queen nodded.
Maitreya Buddha arched his hand, slowly retreated, and when he reached the gate of the palace, he turned around and walked out.
"What do you think of Li Guanyu?" The queen asked faintly.
Li Chengqian said with certainty: "Very good at making money, very powerful!" ”
He's so good, and it's amazing to be able to make so much money!
The queen said: "You ask the spy house to arrange a few people to be by Li Guanyu's side." ”
Arrange for spies?
Does this sound like it's not to assist Maitreya Buddha, but to spy on him?
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment.
"It's because he can make money that he needs someone to follow him!" The queen had a smile on the corner of her mouth, but what she said was dark.
It seems that the queen is afraid that Maitreya Buddha will make too much money outside, and she will have two hearts that she shouldn't have, which will ruin the queen's good deeds, so she will let people spy on him!
"Hmmm! I understand! Li Chengqian nodded.
This arrangement of spies, as long as Maitreya Buddha did not do anything wrong, the spies also became a protective layer to protect him!
"In terms of selecting people, Yang Qi is relatively good, you can just ask him to choose people in the spy courtyard!" The queen said.
came out of the queen's place, returned to the East Palace, and ordered someone to go down and let Yang Qi enter the palace to see him tomorrow.
The next day, early in the morning, Yang Qi arrived, and Li Chengqian told him what the queen meant, and asked him to go down and make arrangements!
Because Maitreya Buddha recently wanted to go to the spy hospital to record what he saw and heard in Goguryeo, he might meet many spies, and he will be arranged to be by his side in the future.
"Your Royal Highness, what the queen means, I'm afraid that I will choose a spy who has bumped into Li Guanyu's shopkeeper and go to his side!" Yang Qi's triangular eyes rolled and said.
"Oh?" Li Chengqian was curious.
Yang Qi said: "First of all, with a shrewd person like Li Guanyu, even if the queen didn't arrange someone to spy on him, or arranged someone who was hiding deep to spy on him, he didn't notice it, he would instinctively think that someone was already spying on him!" ”
