The front hall of Mei Mansion.
The atmosphere was very solemn.
Mei Yin's face was full of anger.
Princess Ningguo's face was as cold as frost.
They were all very disappointed with Li Hongbi.
This son is really just like his father Li Jinglong, he is an out-and-out playboy!
However, this thought did not last long before it was directly dismissed by Li Hongbi's next words.
"Of course, Hongbi is not short of money."
Hearing this, Princess Ningguo's expression changed.
"Then why do you still..."
"But I heard that the treasury is not full."
Li Hongbi smiled slightly.
"I think His Majesty the Emperor must be short of money, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Princess Ning Guo was a little shocked.
She is a smart person and has always been good at seizing opportunities.
So Princess Ning Guo decisively waved her hand and drove out all the servants in the front hall. She also asked the housekeeper to guard the door and strictly prohibited anyone from spying or eavesdropping.
After doing all this, a smile appeared on Princess Ning Guo's face again.
"Good boy, tell me carefully, my aunt is listening!"
Li Hongbi smiled shyly.
"Some people have already tried this beauty cream, and the effect is surprisingly good."
"The skin care and beauty effects far exceed all the rouge and gouache currently on the market."
"So what is certain is that the market for beauty creams is huge and the profits will be extremely scary."
"In addition, once the nobles in Jinling get used to using the beauty cream, they will buy it regularly without interruption. In this way, the beauty cream will be a steady stream of money!"
Princess Ning Guo's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she couldn't help but nodded.
"Hongbi is really thoughtful, and he is actually proficient in the ways of merchants."
"Auntie is so complimentary!" Li Hongbi smiled shyly.
But Mei Yin couldn't listen anymore and scolded: "You bastard, you keep talking and talking without meaning. Can you explain it more clearly?"
He actually wanted to ask, what does this have to do with His Majesty the Emperor's lack of money?
Li Hongbi chuckled and said: "Just now Hongbi also said that Cao Guogong's family is not short of money, and Mei's family is also rich, so this way of making money is actually better than nothing for my family. On the contrary, it may be because of the Benefits are envied and plotted by others!"
After hearing this, Princess Ningguo had already reacted, and her eyes glowed brightly.
"So, Hongbi, what you mean is..."
"Hongbi plans to form a partnership between three companies. You and I will each take 20%, and that one will take 60%."
"My aunt is responsible for the promotion and publicity of Zhuyan Cream, so as to make it famous as soon as possible, especially the ladies of Jinling and the nobles in the palace. They will be the main consumer groups of Zhuyan Cream."
"I, Duke Cao, are responsible for production and sales. After all, my aunt is a princess, so it's better not to get involved directly in order to avoid ruining my reputation. What do you think?"
After hearing this, Princess Ning Guo couldn't help but clasped her hands and praised.
"Hongbi, Hongbi, your kid is not only very capable, but also has an exquisite mind, which makes people really like him!"
"If this is the case, then my Mei family will be indebted to you for your great kindness!"
Li Hongbi smiled slightly, pretending to be shy.
"Auntie's words are serious. One family does not speak the same language as the other."
family.
Hearing these three words, the smile on Princess Ningguo's face became brighter and brighter.
She couldn't help but stretched out her hand to pull Li Hongbi over, held him tightly in her arms, and rubbed his head as hard as a cat, making Li Hongbi's face turn red with embarrassment.
Um?
This princess...
The strength seems to be a bit strong!
"Good boy!"
"Your son-in-law and aunt have recognized him!"
"Go to propose marriage as soon as possible and set the wedding date!"
Mei Yin and Li Jinglong were at a loss and couldn't understand what they were talking about.
The two looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
What's going on?
Mei Yin: "Madam, why do you give 60% of your profits to others?"
Li Jinglong: "Yes, son, our two families can definitely take advantage of this source of wealth. Why should we give it to others in vain?"
"And since everything has been done by our two families, the other family doesn't have to do anything and can just sit back and collect the money. How can there be such a good thing in this world?"
Li Hongbi and Princess Ningguo looked at each other helplessly.
Well, these two guys are really stupider than the other.
A pair of living dragon and phoenix chicks!
"Father, Uncle Shi, with your IQs, it's hard for me to explain it clearly to you!"
Li Jinglong was stunned when he heard this, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He has heard this sentence so many times that he has become immune to it.
But Commander-in-Chief Mei Da is different!
Are you insulting my intelligence?
Mei Yin became angry and began to look around.
Needless to say, he was looking for a handy weapon.
"You bastard, if I don't beat you today, my surname will not be Mei..."
"Hey... Madam, calm down..."
Before Commander Mei finished speaking, he immediately started begging for mercy.
Because a slender hand had already reached his waist and pinched him hard.
Princess Ning Guo's face was full of contempt, and she laughed and scolded angrily: "To say you are stupid, you really have no brains. Do you know what this child gave us?"
"What?" Mei Yin sneered: "Isn't it just a way to make money? Our Mei family has not yet reached that level of poverty. Even supporting the family is a problem and we need charity from others..."
Princess Ning Guo was stunned when she heard this, and then gave Mei Yin a fierce look.
"Think carefully about what Hongbi just said!"
Seeing that his wife was really angry, Mei Yin was a little dazed for a moment.
What did Li Hongbi just say?
Suddenly, Mei Yin seemed to have thought of something and looked at Li Hongbi with a horrified expression.
"This way of making money for my family is actually better than nothing..."
"But I heard that the treasury is not full. I think His Majesty the Emperor must be short of money..."
I see!
The one they talk about!
It turned out to be Emperor Yongle!
Mei Yin was trembling with shock.
Doing business in partnership with Da Mingzi?
This is simply unheard of, even appalling!
"I'm afraid...it's not good, right?"
"The king is the king, and the ministers are ministers. The emperor is the most respected person, the emperor and father of the people of the world!"
"How could the majestic emperor agree to do such a lowly businessman's business? If this spreads out, I'm afraid the Tian family will be disgraced!"
When Li Jinglong heard Mei Yin's words, he finally reacted and couldn't help but take a breath.
He was shocked, even horrified, by his son's thoughts!
Do you really want to drag the emperor into doing business with you?
That's really a coward!
It would be strange if the emperor didn't spit in your face!
Li Hongbi didn't take it seriously and spoke in a calm tone.
"Is this difficult to understand?"
"His Majesty the Emperor is also a human being, and he also needs money."
"There are so many concubines and maids in the palace. Which items of food, drink, toilet, and sleep do not cost money?"
"Furthermore, His Majesty the Emperor wants to build a palace, reward meritorious officials, and go on inspection tours. Which of these does not require money?"
"But the court's money is not the emperor's money. There is a clear distinction between internal funds and the treasury. When the emperor runs out of internal funds, he wants to use the treasury. But which of those courtiers is a vegetarian?"
"But if the emperor has a stable source of income and can make money and spend it on his own, he no longer has to look at the faces of his courtiers and can reduce the financial burden on the national treasury, why not?"
"No one in this world has trouble with money, especially those who are very short of money. It happens that our Emperor is very short of money right now!"
Mei Yin and Li Jinglong were dumbfounded.
But if you think about it carefully, Li Hongbi really has nothing wrong with what he said.
"What's more, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't need to show up. He only needs to collect money. Everything is done by our two families. How can outsiders have the chance to know?"
Li Hongbi smiled slightly, his face full of calmness.
Princess Ningguo also spoke at the right time and said with a chuckle: "The key problem is that if this matter comes to pass, it will be like a gold medal to avoid death for our two families."
"In Hongbi's words, our two families will be bound to the imperial family and become a community of interests. Unless we seek death, the emperor will never take action against us."
"So my Commander-in-Chief Mei Da, do you understand now what this kid Hongbi gave us?"
Mei Yin was startled when he heard this, and then looked at Li Hongbi with a complicated expression.
This is not a way to make money, this is clearly a way to live!
"Ahem, that Hongbi, Uncle Shi has been watching you since he was a child!"
"He is indeed the virtuous son-in-law chosen by me, Mei Yin. Come here and let Uncle Shi hug me!"
Li Hongbi: "(￢_￢)"
