When Li Ke heard this number, his brain shut down for a moment.
What is the concept of hundreds of thousands of dollars?
Datang's annual tax revenue was only around 10,000,000 yuan. It was the sum of all kinds of taxes that amounted to that much.
And you made so much just by selling a blueprint, not counting the bearings and other things you sold during this period?
If Li Xiaogong's other properties are added in, Ling Ling Zong is afraid that his income will be upwards of 500,000 yuan, which is one-tenth of the tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty!
Uncle, aren't you afraid that my dad will check the water meter?
Although he complained in his heart, Li Ke would naturally not say it out loud.
However, it is worth mentioning that in the early Tang Dynasty, there was no tax on salt and iron.
It can be said that Li Xiaogong is making a lot of money.
Just thinking of Li Xiaogong's method made Li Ke's face look a little strange.
Because isn’t this the joining of future generations?
It can only be said that in terms of business, our ancestors thousands of years ago were already very good at it.
"Uncle, what you are doing is exactly the same as joining the franchise."
Li Ke sighed and explained the meaning of joining.
"In this way, it is indeed the franchise you mentioned."
"Although uncle did this without your consent, it can still be regarded as a matter of urgency. When business comes, you can't just say not to do it, right?"
"So the uncle will suffer a little loss. Of the 160,000 guan, the uncle will take 60,000 guan. What do you think, nephew?"
Li Xiaogong looked at him with a smile.
It seemed perfectly reasonable, and he made a small fortune.
But the drawing of the bearing itself is my own!
If I use it to become an agent, I'm afraid I will only earn a lot more money. Why do I need to stay apart from this old man?
Sighing in his heart, Li Ke could only blame himself for not thinking of it.
Instead, Li Xiaogong took the lead.
I have to say that as a human being, I am indeed very keen in this regard.
"Now that uncle has sorted it out, it's hard for nephew to say anything."
"However, after all, this matter was dealt with by my uncle first, so you owe me a favor."
Li Ke looked at each other and said with a smile.
"Good boy, do you know how precious your uncle's favor is?"
"I owe you a favor for opening my mouth. It's a little too much..."
Li Xiao looked at Li Ke angrily.
This brat is no weaker than me when it comes to bargaining.
The most important thing is that he did something wrong.
At that time, in order to seize the market, I didn't think about this little guy, but now the other party has caught his attention.
If this reaches other people's ears. But it's a bit embarrassing.
However, favors should never be given randomly.
Li Ke smiled when he heard this, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Why, could it be that Uncle Li thinks that his favor is more valuable than these 60,000 yuan?"
"Before I went to Hexi to dig for salt, my father told me that he owed me a favor. These 60,000 guan can buy a lot of salt."
It's so unreasonable to think that my 60,000 yuan can be wasted on just a few words!
As for whether this favor is worth the price, it depends on how he uses it.
"My dear nephew, it is not good to lie."
"If uncle doesn't believe it, he can go into the palace and ask my father."
Looking at the smile of his cheap nephew, Li Xiaogong just felt a big headache.
This kid has completely seen through himself.
Not to mention that he didn't want to enter the palace, even if he went to see Li Shimin, he wouldn't be able to ask this?
This is not sincere and disrespectful to oneself.
Come on, this guy can't take it down by himself today.
I sighed in my heart, but became more and more curious about Li Ke.
"Nephew Su Wen usually lives in seclusion, but he doesn't know how he obtained this forging method."
Seeing that Li Xiaogong was about to stir up a conversation, how could Li Ke do what he wanted?
"Ahem, uncle, we are discussing dividends now, and we will discuss the rest later."
"..."
This kid is simply incompetent!
"Okay, okay, let's just say uncle owes you a favor."
"But let's talk about the ugly things first. If this favor is used for something that shouldn't be used, my uncle will not honor it."
Li Xiaogong said seriously.
I finally escaped from that vortex, but if I got involved again due to something, I might never be able to get out again.
"Uncle, please don't worry about this. My nephew has no ambitions here, so he won't make it difficult for him."
Li Ke also revealed his thoughts in a subtle way.
As soon as these words came out, the other party frowned, and then relaxed.
"Okay, okay, let's talk about why you came to uncle today. It's not just for the dividends, right?"
Li Xiaogong looked at him, thinking about the information he had recently collected.
Is it because of the Chongrenfang case?
If this comes to me, I really can't help you much.
Li Ke really wanted to say that he was here just for money, but looking at the other party's expression, he stopped joking.
"I came here today mainly to increase the manufacturing capacity of shock absorbers. The manufacturing progress of shock absorbers is too slow now."
Increase production capacity?
Li Xiaogong suddenly became interested.
"My nephew, if you have any good ideas, tell me quickly."
Because bearings have fewer parts and are relatively simple to manufacture, their production capacity is relatively high.
But the shock absorber is made up of several things, and each part needs to be built according to size, otherwise it will not form a whole.
In the past few months, they continued to conduct experiments and optimization according to the sketches left by Li Ge, and finally created three sets of shock absorbers.
They were installed on Li Ke and his carriage respectively.
After personally experiencing the benefits of shock absorbers, Li Xiaogong is certain that there is definitely no shortage of market for this product.
But it is too cumbersome and difficult to manufacture.
"This method is assembly line production!"
"Assembly line?" Li Xiaogong was a little confused.
"Yes, the specific look is probably like this..."
Li Ke explained the meaning of this word.
After listening to this, Master Lu on the side said with enlightenment: "Your Highness, isn't this the same principle as when a carpenter puts something together after it's done?"
"That's pretty much it. Just to make it faster, here we use a mold to make the main body before polishing it by hand, and then polish it according to accuracy."
"And this model is not something I came up with. There was a similar concept and production as early as the Qin Dynasty."
"It's just that at that time, there was no summary and unification, so it was not passed down. It is really a pity."
Li Ke spread his hands and said.
Don't think that the ancients were stupid. Whether it was lifestyle or aesthetics, or even in many fields, the ancients were actually no different from our later generations.
How do you say something?
What you are playing now may be leftover from what your ancestors played back then.
