Xu Fenglei was slightly startled.
"Liu Fubo, hasn't he gone to sea yet?"
he asked curiously.
When Fenglei Bank was established, this guy came to ask for investment and wanted to go sailing.
It has been over ten years, how has it developed?
You won't eat up so much of his investment, and you haven't left home yet, right? !
"In recent years, various investments have been given to him, which is almost five million taels. Many people in the bank have opinions."
Li Qingquan said,
"After all, he is a bottomless pit. He can only invest money in it, but he can't receive any profit, not even feedback!"
"The only feedback he can get is how many ships he has in his fleet and how the largest ship is designed."
"If it hadn't been for your support, Master, I would have stopped approving him."
Xu Fenglei laughed.
This didn't surprise him.
Navigation is an extremely expensive and potentially unrewarding undertaking. To a large extent, it depends on luck.
Those great navigators, such as Magellan and Columbus, were able to complete their explorations with the full support of their country's royal family.
However... considering Datang's current support, it's not bad.
If you ask for money, give money, and if you ask for people, people will be given, and people from the Ministry of Industry will be arranged to guide shipbuilding.
After ten years of sharpening a sword, it should be about the same, right?
"Navigation is a big undertaking. If it succeeds, the reward will definitely be more than five million taels of silver! This is a major event for generations to come!"
Xu Fenglei said,
"However, we can't invest endlessly."
"If Liu Fubo has taken so much money and still can't do anything famous, then let's reduce it year by year."
"Our money is earned through hard work, and it's not blown by strong winds. How can we just fill up his bottomless pit like this?"
Li Qingquan smiled.
"That is, but there is good news. He is already planning to set sail, probably early next year."
She said,
"After this transaction is over, there should be no further investment required. All you have to do is wait for news from him."
"I'm still looking forward to the treasure lands overseas described by Master, full of gold, spices, and jewelry..."
"Thinking about it makes me excited."
If that kind of island really existed, and we could bring those treasures back one by one, we would definitely be able to earn back five million taels!
In the long run, it won't be a problem to increase it tenfold or even a hundredfold!
"It definitely exists, don't worry! It just depends on whether he can find it."
The corner of Xu Fenglei's mouth raised, and he casually took Li Qingquan's account book and looked through it twice.
"Letting you take charge of the bank is really the wisest decision. If I give you a few more years, I'm afraid you can earn us 100 million taels of silver!"
He praised highly,
"Your father shouldn't dare to look down on you now, right?"
"Now you are also his God of Wealth! If you are unhappy, he will also have to worry about his expenses!"
Li Qingquan looked quite proud when he heard this.
"That's natural! No matter what opinions I express now, my father must listen carefully. Even if he doesn't agree, he will never object strongly."
She said,
"This is the confidence that Qianzhuang gave me!"
"This is also the path that Master has given me so that I can achieve what I am today. Everything is due to Master!"
Li Qingquan was obedient and obedient from the beginning and absolutely obeyed his father's orders.
Nowadays, she has the aura of a queen, the financial queen who dares to bang the table with her father and even falls out with her. All of this... is thanks to the master!
It was Master who made her truly live the way she wanted to live!
She will never forget this kindness!
"The main thing is to look at yourself. I'm just a guide."
Xu Fenglei waved his hand and said,
"You and Li Zhi are both excellent women! There are not many people in the world who can compare with you!"
"As long as you find the right path, you can reach the top in no time and shine!"
Li Qingquan pursed his lips slightly and said:
"When it comes to extremely outstanding women, there are still some."
"For example, your goddaughter Miss Wu, her intelligence is definitely above mine!"
"You are able to control that darknet at such a young age! Today at noon, the person in charge of the darknet in Chang'an came to me and cried, saying that the boss was so powerful that he made all of them cry, and even laid off a large group of people. Pile people!”
"I was surprised and asked him if he was not convinced, but he said he was convinced... Then I knew that Miss Wu must be a very skillful person, and it cannot be judged by her age."
Xu Fenglei was a little stunned.
Is this girl... so resolute?
But yes.
If Li Qingquan were the queen, then Wu Yatou would be a real queen. Isn't it easy to manage an intelligence organization?
"That girl is very capable."
Xu Fenglei commented with a smile,
"I'm also going to train her well."
"On the dark web, let her do whatever she wants. She can plan it."
Li Qingquan nodded.
When she established this organization, it was already a bit rough. Now that Miss Wu is here to straighten it out, that's naturally a good thing.
"Master, I've been thinking about a question recently."
Li Qingquan said,
"The scale of money banks is getting bigger and bigger. In a few years, they will be opened all over the Tang Dynasty."
"But I'm worried that something will go wrong in the future, especially after I retire, who will be in charge... This successor is a big problem."
Xu Fenglei laughed dumbly.
"How old are you? A girl in her twenties, thinking of retiring?"
He joked,
"Assuming you live to be eighty, you can still work for more than fifty years!"
"Don't think too much!"
When Li Qingquan heard this, he shook his head.
"That's not what you said. With the bank's business model, it will always exist and be evergreen. It is possible that it will exist for hundreds of years!"
She said in a deep voice,
"So my disciple must consider the inheritance!"
"I have a special status, so while developing the bank, it is natural for me to rely on the imperial court."
"But the future successor, let alone his ability, this relationship alone... will give me a headache. I don't want to choose someone from the royal family, otherwise the bank will inevitably become the private property of the royal family in the future! It will change the taste. No, this is not in Master’s interest either.”
"But if you don't choose someone from the royal family, it will be difficult to use the power of the government."
"If there are no government soldiers and horses to guard it, then the bank will be like a common man with a jade!"
Xu Fenglei touched his chin.
"Your problem is indeed difficult... I didn't think so long term."
He waved his hand and said,
"But... the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge! I'm not saying that Fenglei Bank must be the property of my Xu family."
"It's best if it can be passed on. If it can't be passed on, it will be brought down. I don't have any heirs. This family business will eventually be dispersed. There is no difference."
