"You must have heard of this before. In fact, here I am just bragging about my ability to make money. Do you agree with me?" Li Ke asked with a smile.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, wondering why Li Ke suddenly changed the topic, but the ability to make money?
Everyone's expressions were a little weird. His Highness drew a circle outside the city and sold three treasuries directly! The total amount of terrorist funds is close to 38 million yuan. Can this be recognized?
Although His Highness will use the money to build the city that never sleeps, don’t forget that His Highness’s land is not for sale! The part of the land he reserved for himself can be sold for nearly 20 million yuan without any problem!
Does it cost 38 million yuan to build a brand new city? In fact, they businessmen probably have some guesses in their minds. If you insist on talking about expenditure, it must be necessary. But if the cement, steel, and even the bricks and stones used are all factories built by His Highness the King of Qin, then it is really not necessarily the case.
Why do you say that? Because they all ran to see the price of cement construction houses given by His Highness King Qin... The price was much lower than they expected! His Highness the King of Qin said that he gave them a discount for those who purchased the land, but what was the discount? Everyone was thinking about it? Number.
No matter how much the discount is, everyone knows that the price of this cement is definitely not as high as the outside world thinks!
They don't know how cement is produced, but in fact the outside world has some guesses about the cement process, but they just don't know the technology. After all, there are too many workers in such a large cement factory. Even if these workers don't understand anything, they always know what they are doing.
Even if none of them would reveal the secret of His Highness King Qin, there were too many people and it would be impossible to keep it secret.
At least they all know that, judging from the information they have received, the cost does not seem to be that high.
So of course they admired His Highness's ability to make money.
"To put it bluntly, we all thought His Highness was the God of Wealth." A businessman bowed his hand to Li Ke.
Li Ke smiled and then said: "So, in fact, even if there are more than 800 and nearly 900 counties in the Tang Dynasty building schools at the same time, I can actually build schools, because everyone knows that, In fact, it doesn’t cost much to build schools in these small places, and you can even buy some residential buildings.”
"The most expensive thing is just the monthly money for Mr. Confucius, books, paper, etc., but these don't add up to much in a year. At best, they can only feed thousands or even tens of thousands of people. I feed hundreds of thousands of people here in Chang'an City. What’s your last name?”
"I said I can afford this school. Do you believe it?"
Everyone looked at each other, then nodded and said, "Of course I believe it."
"But, I don't want to build this school by myself now, I want to give you a chance." Li Ke looked at them and said.
"What do you say, Your Highness?" All the businessmen looked curious. They didn't care how much it cost to build a school. These merchant families actually had their own private schools. They knew how much it cost to maintain a private school. Although they said The scale is a bit bigger, but in reality, a school is nothing more than a drop in the bucket to them.
In fact, the cost of a school can be roughly estimated for some rural primary schools around 2000 more than a thousand years later. School classrooms in most areas are ordinary brick and tile buildings, which can be built and used for decades without any problem. There are only dozens of teachers in a school, and at most they only earn the salary of dozens of people.
In this ancient time, there were no expenses for various electrical appliances, sports, etc. It was just money for paper, pens, chalk, and teaching materials. To Li Ke, this money is just small amounts of money.
The continuous expenses are the teacher’s monthly money.
So these businessmen don't care about the money at all.
"Because if you donate to the construction of this Datang Royal Welfare School, your names will be engraved on the names of the school's donors, and your family names will also be written in the school history, and the students who come out of these schools, they Everyone will remember your kindness. After all, it was you who provided them with this opportunity."
"If any of these people stand out." Li Ke stopped here, and there was no need for him to say more.
The look in these businessmen's eyes says it all.
"Actually, Hu Zhi and I, oh, the businessman from Guangdong, mentioned this matter. I gave him a task, which is to build a school in Guangzhou and the counties below."
"Of course, we can't let one person do this kind of thing. I asked him to unite some local small businessmen, preferably local schools, and let local businessmen build it."
"In this way, even if you make some choices in the future, as long as you do not break the law, some people will not do anything to you. After all, you donated to the construction of the Datang Royal Welfare School."
"If it's not good for you, wouldn't it be bad for the Tang Dynasty? Of course, this reputation cannot be used to do evil, otherwise, the consequences will be very serious."
Li Ke smiled and said.
Everyone's breathing quickened, "Your Highness, we can do this too. If we unite these businessmen, we can do it too." These businessmen all said eagerly.
Of course I know you can do it. Isn’t it your channel that I want? Due to the needs of business, businessmen know the people around them best. They travel far and wide and meet people everywhere. There is someone they know in every place.
As long as they have common interests, they can quickly connect a huge network, and it will cover the entire Datang.
If there are some smart people who can connect these businessmen together through this contact and have a gathering or something, if Li Ke needs it in the future, some sales channels will naturally be popularized.
"So, everyone agrees to donate to this school?"
"Of course, we are willing!" All the businessmen said in unison, "This money is not much. As patriotic businessmen of the Tang Dynasty, it is our responsibility to cultivate talents for the Tang Dynasty. Your Highness, you said that there is no business National borders, but businessmen have national borders.”
"Very good! I'm very happy to see that our businessmen in Datang have this awareness. Don't worry, my Yuelai Trading Company will provide you with things like paper, pens, teaching materials, etc. at cost price. It doesn't cost much a year, and In terms of teaching, my people even invented the blackboard and chalk, and the cost is very low." Li Ke said with a smile, they were willing to bear the cost, so Li Ke didn't have to provide it himself.
