Li Jin expressed his wish in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da:
"I hope the emperor can place a big order for me when the time comes and attract other powerful gentry to buy my medicines."
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Li Jin had no good intentions and was about to refuse on the spot.
But before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, Li Jin hurriedly said:
"Of course I'm not asking the Emperor to help in vain. I'm willing to split the account with the Emperor thirty-seven."
"When the time comes, the emperor's money will be returned in full, and the money earned from the gentry will be the third of my seven emperors."
"What do you think?"
Xu Da felt his scalp numb. Li Jin's operation was so impressive that he didn't know how to describe it.
Negotiating the share with Zhu Yuanzhang in front of Zhu Yuanzhang is simply asking for death.
But Li Jin hadn't finished speaking yet and said:
"Of course, I can also provide convenience to you."
"As long as you are willing to be my dealer, I can wholesale the medicine to you at 80% of the price."
"As for how much money you want to sell to those gentry and powerful men, that is your business."
"The profits on this path are very high. Although the risk is a bit high, it is said that wealth is gained through risk. If you really want to make a lot of money, you can give it a try. How about it?"
"Dealer? What do you mean?"
Lan Yu didn't know what was going on and asked with a puzzled look on her face.
Li Jin patiently explained:
"You just get the goods from me and sell them in the market."
"Whether it's sold to all over the world, I don't care. I'm only responsible for providing you with the supply of goods."
"I don't care what price you sell it for. As long as you can sell it, that's your business."
"Think about it, there are so many landlords and wealthy people in the Ming Dynasty. Which one of them is not afraid of death?"
"We don't have to worry about selling this miracle medicine at all."
"As long as you have the channels, this is a hugely profitable deal."
After listening to Li Jin's explanation, Lan Yu's eyes lit up. He had just invested in the Royal Chamber of Commerce, and the family was already in trouble.
Now, Zhu Yuanzhang has deposed Yongchang Marquis, and even his salary is gone. If he no longer thinks of ways to make money, his family will soon suffer from the northwest wind.
If it is true as Li Jin said, then he will really make a fortune.
After all, which of his old friends doesn't have a nephew serving in the military?
These people might be injured on the battlefield one day. When they come up with this magic medicine, these people will definitely go crazy and buy it from them.
But whether this kind of thing can be done depends on the emperor's face. Lan Yu quickly looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, hoping that Zhu Yuanzhang would express something.
At the same time, Xu Da also looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang on the side was still lowering his head and pondering, thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.
He was furious, but he must have refused at first.
But after Li Jin proposed a three-to-seven split, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart stirred up.
After feeling the gazes of Lan Yu and Xu Da, Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly:
"Three-seven is not enough, at least four-six is required."
"Four-six? I am responsible for the production, processing and selling of medicines, as well as paying workers."
Li Jin immediately quit and objected:
"Sixty percent is too little, I can't do it."
Seeing Li Jin's reluctance, Zhu Yuanzhang felt secretly happy and sneered:
"Sixty percent belongs to the emperor, and you can take at most 40%."
"If you don't agree, I will directly report to the emperor and ask the emperor to forcibly confiscate your project of making medicinal powder, leaving you unable to earn a penny."
Li Jin was speechless, this damn feudal society.
In feudal society, the emperor is the king of this era, and he can take life and death at his will, so he cannot resist at all.
Especially in the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the founding emperor, immediately conquered the world. His authority was unmatched.
Even if he massacred the heroes in the future and killed all the arrogant generals under him, no one dared to stand up and rebel.
This is enough to show Zhu Yuanzhang's deterrence. No matter how fierce these arrogant soldiers are, they are vulnerable to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Back then, even Li Shimin did not have such a deterrent effect. Comparing the two, it has to be said that Zhu Yuanzhang's status in the hearts of the Ming Dynasty people was simply unmatched.
The most righteous person in the history of China was none other than Taizu Emperor Gao, and he was talking about Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, Li Jin could not tolerate him and directly objected:
"Even if you ask the emperor to take back my factory, you still won't be able to produce this kind of medicinal powder."
"All the core technologies are here."
"Can the emperor do whatever he wants?"
“If the king treats his ministers like his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart; if his ministers regard his ministers as dogs and horses, then his ministers will regard him as a countryman; if his ministers regard his ministers as earth and mustard, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit.”
"Bastard! Li Jin, are you looking for death?"
Hearing that Li Jin actually said such treacherous words, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt a burst of unknown fire, which went straight to the Tianling Cap.
This was the first time since he became emperor that someone dared to be so disrespectful to him in front of him.
“Believe it or not, we’re going to have you chopped off right now??”
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Li Jin, but Li Jin refused to give in and said:
"Water can carry a boat and also capsize it."
"As a relative of the emperor, you should advise the emperor, otherwise the disaster of the Ming Dynasty is not far away!"
Xu Da saw the two of them tit for tat, but he was the one who caused the matter after all, so he could only come out to smooth things over and said:
"We are all for the common people of the world, why are we so obsessed with petty profits?"
"If this allicin is really popularized all over the world because of us, our Ming Dynasty will be remembered by future generations and will be remembered forever."
"And after this, how many people will survive because of the allicin we promote?"
"This is a matter of great merit. We should implement it as soon as possible instead of arguing here."
"What do you two think?"
Xu Da looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and gently pulled Zhu Yuanzhang's sleeve.
In fact, Xu Da also felt that Zhu Yuanzhang had gone too far.
After all, this thing was invented by Li Jin in the first place. If he can take it out selflessly, he has released his greatest goodwill.
Being willing to give up part of the benefits to Zhu Yuanzhang also expressed respect for the emperor.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang did nothing from beginning to end. Not only could he get so many shares, what else could he be dissatisfied about?
Zhu Yuanzhang was pulled by Xu Da, and his mood calmed down, and he said calmly:
"Four six."
At the end, I added another sentence:
"You six."
In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang made concessions, and Li Jin gave up.
After all, his rebellious words just now were just fighting for his own rights. If he really wanted to stand up and resist Zhu Yuanzhang, he was not qualified now.
Finally, under the mediation of Xu Da, Li Jin, Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da and Lan Yu signed the first contract on antibiotics.
The contract stipulates that Li Jin will have 60% of the profits from the sale of antibiotics, and the emperor will have 40%.
However, Li Jin is responsible for all processes of antibiotics, including the purchase of materials, production, and providing sources of goods for Lan Yu and Xu Da to sell in Daming.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the contract in his hand and couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart.
Zhu Yuanzhang refused in his heart to cooperate with Li Jin in business again.
Because he knows that Li Jin is not a loser. Every time he does business, Li Jin can earn a lot of wealth.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang could also earn a lot of money, Zhao Kuangyin once said that no one should be allowed to snore next to the bed.
Zhu Yuanzhang has a very strong desire for control. Now doing business with Li Jin makes him feel that he cannot fully control it, which makes him very uncomfortable.
But Zhu Yuanzhang saw the role of antibiotics in his eyes, and naturally knew that this thing was an important weapon of the country.
Not only can it save the lives of soldiers, but civilians will also be injured for various reasons.
If the common people could afford this thing, then the lives of countless Ming people could be saved.
If it were some other luxury goods, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely refuse it immediately this time, but antibiotics were something he couldn't refuse.
Not only could he not refuse, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to promote this kind of thing.
Just like Xu Da lost his temper just now, the effect of antibiotics is so miraculous that it can save the lives of many people in the Ming Dynasty.
This prompted Zhu Yuanzhang to cooperate with Li Jin to promote antibiotics together.
But precisely because of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt extremely unhappy.
After the contract was drawn up, Zhu Yuanzhang took the contract with him and left the field hospital, heading to the place where Zhu Di rested.
Xu Da arranged the encirclement and suppression of Japanese pirates, and Lan Yu went back to recuperate, leaving only Li Jin to continue in the field hospital to help treat wounded soldiers.
