After Zhu Yuanzhang visited the Yangjiyuan, he followed Li Jin back to his residence.
"Li Jin, we didn't expect you to be really capable of doing some human work. It really impresses us."
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang entered the living room, he sat down unceremoniously and minding his own business.
"What are you talking about? Although I am greedy for money, the money I am greedy for is all for doing things for the people. I have not taken any of it!"
Li Jin glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang angrily and said that he was a good official.
"Hmph, you're not greedy for money, so where did your splendid mansion come from?"
"Did it rise out of thin air? Or did it fall from the sky?"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe Li Jin's lies at all. If nothing else, Li Jin's mansion would cost him millions of taels of silver.
Not to mention Li Jin’s other industries.
"Even if this mansion is very valuable, I have earned it through hard work. How can I say that I am greedy for the money I earn from doing business?"
"It's really insulting to politeness."
Li Jin said strange words, which made Zhu Yuanzhang feel embarrassed after hearing it.
"Okay, you two, stop talking nonsense. I'm not here to listen to your nonsense."
Queen Ma saw that the two of them were busy there, so she quickly interrupted:
"Master Li, does our previous bet still count?"
"It counts! Of course it counts!"
Li Jin was overjoyed when he heard this and said with joy:
"Looking at how confident Madam is, I'm afraid she has already obtained the imperial approval from the Royal Chamber of Commerce, right?"
"In that case, madam, please take it out quickly and show it to me!"
Empress Ma didn't waste any time, stood up directly, and took out the calligraphy and painting written by Zhu Yuanzhang from her arms to Li Jin.
Li Jin quickly stretched out his hands and took this cherished calligraphy from Queen Ma's hand.
"Okay, the emperor is worthy of being the emperor. These words are full of dragon spirit, and the dragon is flying and the phoenix is dancing."
The words "Zhu Yuanzhang" that Li Jin kept praising in his mouth were then unfolded from top to bottom and read out loud:
"Royal Chamber of Commerce!"
The voice was deafening and full of energy, but Queen Ma couldn't hold back her laughter after hearing it. Even Zhu Biao was laughing beside her.
Only Zhu Yuanzhang, whose face was ashen and ugly, said word by word:
"You got it backwards!!!"
Hearing this, Li Jin quickly read it again:
"Meet the Merchant Emperor!"
"Okay, that's great!!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Li Jin's proud look, he felt uncomfortable in his heart and snorted coldly:
"Ignorant and ignorant!!"
Li Jin didn't care at all. Now that he had obtained the imperial approval he had longed for, he would start his own vigorous plan.
Although he had been plotting this plan for a long time, it really couldn't be done without this imperial approval.
"Madam is really resourceful. She is worthy of being a relative of the emperor. I really admire her."
"This time I have the most foresight to do business with Madam."
Li Jin did not expect that this couple would actually get this calligraphy and painting from Zhu Yuanzhang, which really surprised him.
But this also made him sure that he must have a good relationship with these two people.
In order to better harvest more wool from them.
Thinking of this, Li Jin's smile became even more cordial, looking as sincere as the big bad wolf seeing Little Red Riding Hood.
"Suck."
Damn it, tears of emotion flowed to the corners of my mouth.
Queen Ma saw Li Jin giggling alone and couldn't help but remind him:
"Master Li, what we promised you has been completed. Now is it time for you to fulfill your promise?"
"Yes, yes, you pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand."
Li Jin stretched out his hand to wipe his saliva, and immediately thought of his previous promise, and said:
"I give you two choices. One is that I will sell you the production method, and you can make it yourself and sell it yourself."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes lit up. He didn't expect Li Jin to be so sensible, so he handed over the secret recipe.
However, Li Jin's next words made Zhu Yuanzhang almost smoke out of breath.
"But you have to give me fifteen million taels of silver at one time, and the raw materials have to be made from me."
"What? Fifteen million taels? How dare you say that?"
Queen Ma didn't speak, but Zhu Yuanzhang was already exploded.
Is Li Jin crazy about money?
The entire Ming Dynasty's national treasury income is only four million taels a year, but you are asking for fifteen million taels?
That was the income of Ming Dynasty for four years, and it took Ming Dynasty not to eat or drink to save the family wealth! !
"Li Jin, do you think we are the God of Wealth? If you want to make a wish, go to the City God's Temple and don't come in front of us!!"
Li Jin rolled his eyes and said:
"If I hadn't been in urgent need of money recently, do you think I would have sold it to you?"
"Have you forgotten how much you paid for those ten mirrors you sold last time?"
"If you get the formula, let alone fifteen million, even if it's twice as much, you can make it back."
Zhu Yuanzhang was choked and speechless for a moment by Li Jin's words. Indeed, if it is true as Li Jin said, the fifteen million can be recovered soon.
But even if he sold Lao Zhu, he wouldn't be able to get so much money.
Finally, Queen Ma stood up and said:
"Our family doesn't have that much money, so Mr. Li might as well talk about another way."
When Li Jin saw this, he had no choice but to say:
"The second method is that I will sell you ten mirrors every month, and the price will still be five hundred thousand taels."
"How much money you make has nothing to do with me."
"After it's sold out, you can come back to me to pick it up."
"But I want to remind you that the spending power of the dignitaries in the capital is limited. You have already picked up the last batch of goods."
"Next, it may not be so easy to collect, so I suggest you go to other big cities to buy and sell."
"After all, there are so many wealthy locals in the world, not just in the capital."
Queen Ma nodded after hearing this. She naturally knew the reason, but based on the popularity of the last sale, she was sure to sell it several more times in the capital.
"In that case, it's a deal."
"When I sell all the mirrors, I will come back to you, but you can't sell the mirrors to others."
"That's natural. Let's sign the agreement now."
Li Jin promised that with the approval of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, these mirrors would be nothing more than a small profit.
His goal is the stars and the sea.
Soon, Li Jin took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the room and wrote down the notes in front of several people.
There were two copies for each person. After Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Jin signed their signatures, Queen Ma put the signatures in her arms with a cheerful smile on her face.
Li Jin took the receipt and looked down at it, still muttering:
"No wonder you have such a similar personality to the current emperor. You even learned how to express emotions like the emperor."
This sentence made Zhu Yuanzhang's heart skip a beat, wondering if this bastard had seen something, but Li Jin's next words made him furious.
