Chapter 2068: Million Dollars
Li Shen thought quickly and finally found a very reasonable reason.
Either each person contributes half of the capital or each person gets half of the dividend. There is also a management share.
Even if we don’t count the management shares, we still have the technology and the brand effect.
Technology is the primary productive force and the most important factor in an enterprise. Without technology, there is nothing.
The second is the brand. The Prince Ji’s Mansion is a living signboard. Although Li Shen’s character is not very good, his reputation in the business world is absolutely impeccable.
Because honest transactions are the rules set by Li Shen himself, his chamber of commerce and his bank both need honesty as a guarantee.
Moreover, although the things produced by Prince Ji’s Mansion are expensive, they are definitely good.
Li Shen used these two things as investment, and there would be absolutely no problem if it happened in the future.
But it was the first time that Li Shimin heard of it, and he couldn't help but frown. He felt that Li Shen was lying to him, but he also felt that there was some truth in what he said.
This rebellious son was indeed outstanding in business, and the new methods he came up with were unprecedented.
"You are lying to me."
Li Shimin said that as a father, he had absolute say.
"How is that possible? Father, I am the most trustworthy person in the business world." Li Shen immediately argued.
"But you are the most untrustworthy person in my Li family." Li Shimin exposed ruthlessly.
"Uh... is that so? No way." Li Shen was a little embarrassed. He had indeed deceived many of his own people and almost everyone present.
Including Empress Changsun.
"One million strings of cash is too much. You can't let me pay for it all. Besides, you can't use so much to build workshops and repair roads."
Li Shimin shook his head.
"Aye, this one million strings of cash can help tens of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of people, isn't it worth it?"
Li Shen asked the question with righteous indignation.
"Then you can't let me go out alone." Li Shimin insisted.
Li Shen sighed:
"Well, since Aye doesn't want to, forget it. If that's the case, I won't do it.
My Ji Wangfu is now penniless, and we still have a debt of 1.5 million strings of cash to pay off. We cannot come up with that much money now.
Besides, I have important tasks to attend to, so let’s talk about this matter next year.
I pity the hundreds of thousands of people in Guanzhong. They will probably have to endure hunger and cold this year."
Li Shen shook his head helplessly, almost beating his chest and stamping his feet, his face full of regret.
Li Shimin was speechless after hearing what Li Shen said. A million strings of cash could allow hundreds of thousands of people to live a good life, so it was not impossible to do so.
"Are you sure you didn't lie to me about this and that you can really make money?"
After thinking for a long time, Li Shimin confirmed it again.
"Aye, I promise I will definitely make money, but how much I make will depend on whether the nobles are willing to spend it."
When Li Shen heard that there was hope, he quickly made his promise.
"Forget it. For the sake of the people in Guanzhong, I promise you, one million is one million, but you must use this money to build workshops and repair roads as you said.
If I find out that you lied to me, I will confiscate your Jiwang Mansion's treasury."
Finally, Li Shimin nodded in agreement. If it can make money and enrich the people, why not do it?
"On behalf of the people of Guanzhong, I thank you, Father." Li Shen bowed quickly. He finally got it.
Afterwards, Li Shen asked Wang De to talk about the content of the contract again. His Majesty would invest one million strings of cash, and the two of them would each hold 50%.
However, Li Shimin was more cautious and added a clause to the contract, which required a profit, otherwise Li Shen would have to pay a compensation of one million strings of cash.
Li Shen agreed to such an unreasonable clause without hesitation, and even added the requirement to build roads and workshops.
Just to make my father feel at ease.
The contract was made in duplicate. Li Shen signed and sealed it with his own seal. Li Shimin also sealed it with his own seal.
Originally, the emperor did not need a contract to do business, so who would dare to cheat him?
But there was only one person who dared to do so, and Li Shimin was helpless. Li Shen took the money and refused to admit it, so he had an excuse to punish him with the contract.
Li Shen had the same idea. He was also afraid that his father would not acknowledge him.
"Wang De, send him one million strings of cash from the treasury tomorrow." After paying the million-string contract, Li Shen shook hands with his father in a friendly manner. Li Shimin opened Li Shen's hand unhappily and gave instructions to Wang De.
Wang De responded immediately.
Li Shen was delighted. This time his trip was not in vain and he cheated another million strings of cash. This was an unexpected surprise.
Seeing Li Shen's happy look, Li Shimin always felt unsafe.
"Li Shen, if you lie to me, don't blame me for enforcing the family rules on you for three days." He warned Li Shen again.
"Don't worry, Aye, everything is written in the contract. Everything will be the same as written in the contract."
Li Shen nodded immediately.
The three Li brothers present at the moment, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi, were all staring at all this in a daze. In just a moment, the father and son, who had been at loggerheads just a moment ago, had negotiated a huge deal worth millions of strings of cash.
This made the three Li brothers feel a little unreal.
One million strings of cash! Even if they were princes or crown princes, they had never seen so much money.
The three of them suddenly felt that they were not in the same world as the father and son.
"Um... Aye, it's getting late. I won't eat here anymore. I'll come over to visit you tomorrow.
Aye needs to take the medicine on time. I think he will be well by tomorrow.
I will go back and arrange our money-making plan."
After the task was completed, Li Shen was afraid that the night would be long and he would have more trouble, so he quickly got up and took his leave and went back to prepare.
"Well, remember, don't lie to me." Li Shimin nodded.
"And you two should go back too." Li Shimin looked at Li Tai and Li Zhi again.
"Yes, Aye."
The three of them bowed again and left Hanfeng Palace together.
"Haha, Lao Shi, congratulations, you have found another way to make money. I'm afraid you made a lot of money from Aye this time, right?"
After leaving Hanfeng Palace, Li Tai congratulated Li Shen with a smile.
"Haha, fourth brother, you're joking. It's true that it's a way to make money, but I dare not make money from Aye." Li Shen laughed.
"You earned hundreds of thousands of strings of cash from us by building the temple with 500,000 strings of cash. You should have earned more than half of the 1 million strings of cash this time."
Li Zhi said jealously. He was really envious of Li Shen, who had millions of guan in his account in a blink of an eye.
"Look at what Brother Nine said, how could I do such a beastly thing.
You have invested hundreds of thousands of strings of cash to build the temple, and I will also have to contribute money, or even more.
If you are worried, Brother Nine, I will give you the money and let you build it, so I can have some free time."
Li Shen looked at Li Zhi seriously, thinking that if he didn't make any profit, he would be worse than an animal.
"Humph!"
Li Zhi snorted upon hearing this and stopped talking. He had already guessed Li Shen's prediction and knew that after he accepted it, Li Shen would definitely impeach him for corruption.
Li Shen was very happy to see Li Zhi being humiliated. He looked at Li Tai again:
"Fourth brother, do you want to invest a little bit? Five hundred thousand strings of cash would be enough."
(Today I saw a book friend leave a message saying that he answered a question correctly after reading my novel, a history question. This made me very happy.
Being able to help you get one point is the greatest affirmation for me. Thank you)
