Li Hongbi elaborated on it.
Zhu Di and Queen Xu listened with rapt attention, and their bodies leaned forward unconsciously.
It was clear that they were all very interested in the project.
The more the Tian family couple pays attention to this matter, the more stable the position of the old Li family will be.
However, if you want to expand the local market, you will inevitably encounter some problems.
"The beauty cream is a separate business."
“As long as the local market is opened, profits can be guaranteed continuously.”
"To put it bluntly, a single business is a monopoly. There is no one else in the world, so the profits can be imagined."
Monopoly means huge profits!
Zhu Di and Queen Xu looked at each other, and both saw the joy in each other's eyes.
"However, there are also hidden dangers." Li Hongbi pointed out the problem, "Safety is a big issue."
“If Zhuyan Cream wants to enter the local market, it will inevitably conflict with local businessmen, and most of those merchants have unclear relationships with local officials, so it is not easy for Zhuyan Cream to open up the local market. This is the so-called local protection mechanism!”
"And after Zhuyan Cream entered the local market, those merchants and officials saw the terrifying profits behind this independent business, and I'm afraid they couldn't help but covet the dirty hands, so safety is a big problem..."
Before Li Hongbi finished speaking, Zhu Di suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "Let me see who dares!"
"They dare to covet my business, they don't want to live anymore!"
The hall was suddenly filled with a bastard spirit. Zhu Di was like a bully whose territory had been robbed. His eyes suddenly showed a fierce light and murderous intent.
After all, he is an iron-blooded emperor who kills decisively!
As soon as Zhu Di's bastard spirit showed up, Li Hongbi immediately felt a chill running down his spine, and it was even difficult to breathe.
However, he still had the courage to interrupt and said: "Well... Your Majesty, this is a business between the three of us, not just you..."
Li Hongbi was not afraid that Zhu Di would kill the donkey, but that he would forget the cooperation contract.
After all, he worked so hard to plan all this just to tie himself with the royal family and become a community of interests!
Zhu Di's eyes widened, and he laughed angrily and cursed: "You brat, you're talking about business!"
"Then tell me, what should we do about this matter? Come up with a way!"
After all, the royal family wants to be proud and cannot get involved in this business openly.
Otherwise, he, Zhu Di, would directly send the imperial army to protect the caravan shops and see which bastard dares to covet them!
Li Hongbi pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "It's not that there are no solutions, such as making the facial cream a special tribute to the royal family!"
"As long as the Zhuyan Cream is labeled as 'Royal Special Tribute', those merchants and officials will not dare to do it openly, no matter how coveted it is. However, they can just use some normal merchant suppression methods, which is enough to deal with it!"
Royal tribute!
This meaning is extraordinary!
No matter what the product is, as long as it becomes a royal tribute, it will have an extra layer of protection.
If other merchants want to suppress the persecution, they have to consider the consequences of piercing this membrane!
Do you really think that the royal family is just for food?
Zhu Di and Xu Hou's eyes suddenly lit up, and they nodded in approval.
Li Hongbi then spoke again: "In addition, there is the issue of location selection. Those provinces in northern Xinjiang have not yet recovered. There is no need to open up the market for the time being. Even if we do open up, the gains will outweigh the losses."
"The south, especially the beautiful land in the south of the Yangtze River, will be the top priority. For example, Yangzhou, such as Suzhou and Hangzhou, there are many wealthy businessmen, so it is natural to make the best money from them!"
At this point, both Zhu Di and Queen Xu nodded.
After all, the beauty cream takes a high-end route with high prices and is designed to make money from ladies.
If you really go to those ungrateful places, only those who are full will spend five hundred taels of silver to buy this thing.
The three then discussed the details and finally finalized the charter.
Zhu Di was in a very good mood, and he even liked Li Hongbi a lot.
He smiled and said: "Hongbi, I won't hide it from you. The imperial court is indeed short of money and food now."
"I, the emperor, am such a coward. I wanted to repair the palace before, but all the civil and military officials in the dynasty came up to dissuade me and made me bloody..."
Zhu Di is like this, he has no scruples about talking to people close to him, and he has a strong atmosphere of Northern Xinjiang's boldness.
After all, he had been living in Peiping since he was a feudal lord at the age of fifteen, so it was inevitable that he would develop such a temperament.
However, Li Hongbi was somewhat uncomfortable with it. He felt that the glorious image of Emperor Yongle in his mind was constantly crumbling.
In fact, it didn't have a glorious image to begin with. After all, some people kept calling it "the dog emperor" behind its back.
"But it's different now!"
"You gave me a steady stream of money!"
"When my internal funds are full, I can do whatever I want. The internal funds are my personal purse. What else do those mean-mouthed courtiers dare to say?"
Zhu Di became more and more excited as he talked. When he thought about the embarrassing situation of being constrained by all kinds of constraints due to lack of money during this period, he felt very comfortable in his heart!
When the market for Zhuyan ointment is established and the internal funds are rich, who will be able to control him, the Ming emperor?
I spent money from my own money to build palaces, I spent money from my own money to reward meritorious officials, I spent money from my own money to go out to fight, what else do you have the right to call a dog?
As long as he thought of the scenes where the courtiers were so aggrieved that they could not utter a word, Zhu Di could not help but become more excited and feel more comfortable.
I just like the way you can't stand me but don't dare to scold me!
Li Hongbi immediately proposed with a smile: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. When the profits of the facial cream increase in the future and your Majesty's funds are full, we can do whatever we want!"
"Gather the civil and military officials from all over the dynasty together, let's eat from one bowl to the next, and we'll scatter money while walking, so that these poor people can see what it means to be rich and wealthy, and what it means that rich people can do whatever they want..."
Zhu Di was startled when he heard this, hesitated for a long time, and seemed to be a little moved.
Seeing this, Empress Xu on the side hurriedly tugged Zhu Di's sleeves, and then glared at Li Hongbi angrily.
Zhu Di came to his senses immediately, laughed and scolded angrily: "You stinky boy is really... a dog's mouth can't spit out ivory!"
"There's no need to go so far. It seems too philistine. I'm not that stingy!"
hehe.
Are you, Zhu Di, a stingy person?
Why don't you ask Tie Xuan, ask Qi Tai, ask Fang Xiaoru...
Oh, Fang Xiaoru has no chance. You have killed all the ten tribes, and all the eggs in the house have been shaken and turned yellow.
Bah, nothing!
Li Hongbi twitched the corners of his mouth and forced a smile.
Zhu Di was in high spirits and didn't pay attention to his expression.
"Hongbi, although you are a little frivolous and ridiculous, you are indeed talented. I intend to leave this matter to you. Don't let me down!"
This is Zhu Di's real purpose!
The reason why he summoned Li Hongbi to the palace to see him was because he wanted to test him.
After confirming that Li Hongbi was indeed a great talent, Zhu Di began to think of re-employing him.
As long as Li Hongbi handles this matter well and earns him money and food, Zhu Di will not be stingy with rewards.
When the time comes, Li Hongbi will be directly sent to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Will the court still be worried about lack of money and food in the future?
This allows people to make the best use of their talents and materials, which is what the emperor likes to see the most.
However, when Li Hongbi heard this, he immediately became anxious.
"Your Majesty, we don't bring this kind of thing!"
"I am loyal to the emperor, but the emperor wants to treat me as a tool?"
"Besides, my waist injury hasn't healed yet. It will take me another 3,578 years to recuperate..."
Zhu Di's face gradually darkened, and then turned black and blue.
Fortunately, Li Hongbi noticed the expression on Emperor Dog's face, and then hurriedly changed his words.
"But I can recommend a genius for your majesty!"
"This man can be called the number one financial and taxation expert in the Ming Dynasty, and his talent is more than ten times better than that of the humble minister!"
Hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but be curious.
"who?"
"Former Right Minister of the Household Department, Natsuhara Yoshi!"
