"It's okay to see them, but it's just a matter of having a meal. You can arrange it!"
For Tian Suning, Liu Deng was still very considerate.
After all, although this old guy wasn't a very good guy before, after he got here, everything he did was still remarkable.
No one is a saint, and no one can make mistakes. There is nothing incomprehensible about this.
"Your Majesty, then tomorrow night?"
Tian Shuning did not expect that Liu Deng would agree so simply.
"Okay, just tomorrow morning!"
"promise!"
Seeing Liu Deng nodding, he responded and walked out.
"Sir, is the matter done?"
As soon as he walked out of the door, he was surrounded by a group of businessmen.
"The king has agreed, tomorrow night!"
Tian Suning said with a smile.
"Thank you for your help, sir!"
These businessmen are looking forward to what will happen tomorrow night.
After all, everyone knew in their hearts that those who followed Liu Deng in making paper and printing had now made a fortune.
There may be countless ways to make money in the world, but the fastest way to make money is definitely the business in the hands of His Royal Highness.
"Okay, okay, I'm just passing on a message. As for whether this matter can be accomplished, it depends on how you and the king discuss it!"
Tian Suning smiled, then turned away.
If what they asked for can really come true, it will finally be good news for the people near Buqi City.
Especially the nearby counties that were just placed under Liu Deng's control.
Although this seaside reaps the benefits of fishing and salt, since the rise of the salt-making industry in Dai State, the seaside salt-making business has really been getting worse day by day. Even though there are still a few small workshops struggling to hold on, now Basically they are already at a loss.
If these businessmen can open large workshops in several nearby counties, it will indeed be a rare good thing for the people nearby.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to sell them the machine we finally made?"
Several elders of the Mo family really didn't understand that Liu Deng wanted to sell the equipment that he had finally obtained from the Wuhan Institute of Technology to these businessmen at a cheap price.
"This is just the first batch. Why are you anxious? I believe you will be able to make better ones soon! When the next batch comes, the price will naturally go up! What's more, what we need now is as soon as possible. Expanding production capacity, as for making money? Actually, I am not in a hurry!"
Compared with the huge overseas market, the little money earned from selling machines is really not worth mentioning.
What's more, these things are actually very simple in principle, but the materials are indeed a bit complicated.
Without the formula provided by Liu Deng, they would not be able to copy it even if they were given a ready-made machine.
After all, there is no spectrum analyzer in this day and age. If there is no specific formula, even if there is a physical object in front of them, they will not be able to analyze the formula of the alloy.
So they fundamentally have no ability to replicate or research.
Naturally, there is no problem of technology leakage. Therefore, at this time when production capacity needs to be increased on a large scale, Liu Deng can sell the machine to them at a very low price, or even half-sale and half-free, but when When each of them is full of fat, that's when Liu Deng really reaps the rewards.
"Your Majesty, is this overseas really so good? Is it worth paying such a high price?"
Seeing that they could not persuade Liu Deng, the old men finally asked the question they wanted to ask the most.
"It's not about how good overseas is. Do you know what the essence of business is?"
Liu Deng knew in his heart that not only these old men, but almost everyone in the entire country were questioning his decision to establish the Shipping Bureau. After all, at least until now, the Shipping Bureau had not produced any output.
On the contrary, they have been burning money from the beginning, and the amount of money burning will become larger and larger from now on. The money brought back from South Vietnam is probably not enough to fill this big hole.
If this matter is not made clear, I don’t know how many people will be passive and slow down in the future.
"The essence of business? Isn't it just to make money?"
This really confused a few old men. These people have been under the influence of the Mohist family since they were born. They are only interested in those technical things, and other things are completely outside the scope of their consideration.
To put it bluntly, this is the earliest dead technology nerd.
If the environment did not allow it, none of these old guys would be willing to leave Jinyang City.
"The ancestors of ancient times could only do what they were best at every day in order to survive. Whether they wanted to or not, they could only eat the food they could get! Those who fished could only eat fish and pick fruits. The dog can only eat fruit, but it will always feel boring after eating the same thing for a long time, so there is the earliest exchange behavior of bartering! Exchange of what is needed is the essence of business!"
"But what does this have to do with overseas?"
Several old men still didn't understand what Liu Deng meant.
"Although I am a big man with a vast territory, it is still incomparable to the vast world overseas! Once we have big ships, we can naturally expand our territory overseas and obtain more resources..."
"But Your Majesty, what we want is not available in our country? Why do we have to go to the other side of the sea so hard..."
When talking to these tech geeks, Liu Deng really felt like slamming the table. These people didn't understand what resources and strategic resources were at all.
"You just need to know that this world is so big and there are actually many things, but they are everywhere in my Han Dynasty, but they are everywhere! For example, spices! Have you ever thought that things that are worth gold in my Han Dynasty are not as good as gold overseas? But the land is like weeds, everywhere! As far as I know, there are no fewer than ten places like this overseas!"
"This is true!"
The old men finally opened their eyes wide. If you put it this way, it seems that the money was not wasted!
Spices are in short supply no matter how much they are available in today's Han Dynasty.
Just for those princely families, the amount of money spent on spices every year is impossible to count.
"Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn are certainly good, but in the final analysis they still cannot completely replace crops such as rice and noodles. Maybe you haven't imagined that overseas, there are all kinds of strange foods, such as rice that is harvested three times a year, and rice that is harvested three times a year. On one vine, seven or eight vegetable melons the size of a human head can grow..."
