When Li Shimin heard Li Ke's words, he looked at the price tag next to him. A piece of silk had different patterns, ranging from dozens to hundreds of strings! This price is indeed expensive, but Li Shimin knows that although this price is expensive, it is still not expensive enough!
It's very simple. Do you think the price of top silk in Datang is cheap now?
not cheap!
Nowadays, the top silks of the Tang Dynasty range from dozens to hundreds of strands per piece! They specialize in supplying top nobles and wealthy families! This little money is nothing to these families.
Besides, cloth and silk may seem expensive, but in fact they don’t need to be replaced that much every year. Even a wealthy family, that is, the head of the household, may make several or more than a dozen sets of clothes a year, so how many bolts of silk can it cost?
"You are offending someone." Li Shimin gave a rare pointer.
"Dad, look at what you said. I took the initiative to reduce my profits for the benefit of my customers, so why did I offend others?" Li Ke smiled.
Li Shimin shook his head and did not explain. He could see now that his son was a little reckless, but not stupid. He must understand what he said, but he didn't care, so Li Shimin would stop talking nonsense.
Of course it is because of Li Ke's status as a prince, but this is only one of them. The status of a prince cannot stop those powerful families. Otherwise, why do you think Li Shimin is controlled by these powerful families?
So Li Shimin was very curious to see how he could stop these powerful families.
After coming out of this trading house, the trading houses behind are temporarily vacant. There are no special products in these parts, but Li Ke plans to use it to introduce some trading companies. Even in Datang, it is impossible for him to take all the industries by himself. , besides, he doesn’t have that much experience.
It is enough to hold the most profitable industry in hand.
After shopping, Li Shimin went back directly. Being able to come would be a favor to Li Ke. But before leaving... Li Shimin gathered another handful of wool.
"Send that sofa and those chairs to Liangyi Hall. By the way, the upper court area in Taiji Hall must also be prepared." Standing at the door, Li Shimin said carelessly.
"Dad, you can't." Li Ke was dumbfounded. He really had a lot of these things, and every one he used was missing.
"What? You can't even honor your father?" Li Shimin glanced at him sideways.
"Of course not, you should honor your father. I will give these chairs and sofas to you as a gift to Liangyi Palace, and I will also give some to Queen Mother and the others, but the quantity is not much. The main reason is that the raw materials are too difficult to make and are expensive. As for Taiji Palace I don't think it can be used." Li Ke quickly started to find reasons, joking, at least dozens of ministers in the upper court area of the Tai Chi Hall used this chair, Li Ke was at a loss.
"Why?" Li Shimin glanced at him.
"Dad, these chairs are produced in a leisurely and relaxing way. You have already sat on them. You should know that when you sit on them, if you lean back, your whole body will lean back. This is more comfortable, but it will be more comfortable during court meetings. Come on, if that’s the case...how unbecoming it is!”
"What's more, those ministers may not dare to sit in this position, otherwise they will not be as comfortable as the previous chairs. Besides, you can't change your chair. If you don't change it, why should they change it? "Li Ke said quickly.
Li Shimin's dragon chair cannot be replaced for sure, but the comfort level of that thing is... just average.
"Okay, then there is no need for the Tai Chi Hall. Remember that the harem has been arranged and the money will not be given." Li Shimin waved his hand.
"Yes." Li Ke felt a little distressed, what a big loss!
Li Shimin didn't bother to care about him and left directly, but fortunately, when he left, he didn't take Changle and the other three with him.
"Wow! Aye is finally gone! It makes me so uncomfortable." As soon as Li Shimin left, Jinyang and Chengyang cheered. Li Shimin, who had just left not long ago, couldn't help grinning when he heard the words of his two little cotton-padded jackets, But he also pretended not to hear.
Changle also covered his mouth and chuckled.
"Changle, you bring Jinyang and Chengyang to have fun here. Third brother is too busy today to take care of you. If you come out tomorrow, third brother will entertain you well." Li Ke whispered quickly.
"Well, third brother, don't worry, leave it to me." Chang Le smiled.
Jinyang and Chengyang are also very sensible. They never disturb Li Ke when something happens. Besides, for them, leaving the palace is more fun than anything else.
Li Ke didn't go to see anyone else either. If he went, those people wouldn't be allowed to bargain with him? And in front of those servants, they were too embarrassed to negotiate the price, so it was absolutely impossible for Li Ke to show up. Instead, he hid so that these people could not find him.
Time passed very quickly, and the entire Youjian Mall could be described as a day full of people coming and going. Except for Li Ke's invitation at the beginning, the place was now open to the public, and naturally it did not stop ordinary people from coming in, but these " "Ordinary people" are also rich and powerful. It is impossible for real people to come in and they dare not come in.
After all, there are princes and the like here, and they don't dare to offend anyone.
In the evening, before the curfew, when the mall closed its doors, everyone immediately began to count today's income. Each store had a separate shopkeeper. These shopkeepers were all trained by Li Ke. They did not learn the arithmetic of this era. , but the typical debit and credit accounting method of later generations. This accounting method is much more advanced than that of this era.
The key point is that these shopkeepers have learned Arabic numerals, so the accounts can be done quickly.
"Your Highness, the results are out." Tian Meng's tone was trembling, and his hand holding the account book was shaking.
"How much?" Li Ke asked calmly.
"Net profit is 460,000 yuan!" Tian Meng spat out a number that made people go numb!
You know, in the eighth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty's total tax revenue for the year was only 10.5 million yuan! And Li Ke's mall, one day! 460,000 yuan! It’s almost one-twentieth of the Tang Dynasty’s treasury revenue!
Fortunately, Tian Meng was so complacent about 80,000 yuan before! According to His Highness, it turns out that he is a poor man! The money His Highness makes in one day is more than the money their entire Yuelai Trading Company saved in eight years!
It’s a shame that they wanted to make money for His Highness before! This... Tian Meng wants to cry, can our ideals not be realized? We just make some money for His Highness to spend!
"All the limited edition mercury mirrors are sold out?" Li Ke raised his eyebrows. He was not surprised! After all, the limited edition mercury mirror sold out for nearly 100,000 yuan.
The comparison between nobles in the Tang Dynasty... was much more serious than in later generations.
At least Li Ke knew that many concubines from the harem came here to buy things today. Although Li Shimin has bought some of them for them, it is just a basic one. Who doesn't want to look better than other concubines? !
And those who really contributed were the wives of the princes and the concubines of the princes and princes!
There is another thing that cannot be ignored...a powerful family!
"Yes, Your Highness, they are all sold out. Not only the limited editions are sold out, but our inventory is almost sold out." Tian Meng took a deep breath and said, it's crazy! He never thought that making money would be so easy.
"Don't be too excited, that is to say, today's profits are relatively high, because they are all waiting to buy things. Later, the profits here will definitely drop. It will be good if they can maintain 10,000 yuan a day." Li Ke said lightly road.
Li Ke looks calm on the surface, but he is also excited! What is the concept of 460,000 yuan? Letting go to future generations is a profit of 400 million a day!
Tian Meng: "..."
My Lord, you can speak easily with your upper and lower lips touching each other. Do you know the concept of ten thousand strings? !
