Seeing the father and son bowing their heads, Zhu Su was startled for a moment and quickly regained his senses. After turning around in his mind, he understood what Member Shen was planning. Shi Shiran leaned on the chair and tried to change into a comfortable position. He was startled by the sudden creak of the broken chair, and had to lower his legs that were halfway up.
"Ahem, Officer Shen, do you want to serve me as a knight?"
"Can this be understood by me as...that you want to dedicate all of your Shen family's property to my Prince Wu's Mansion? Huh?"
After saying that, he looked at Shen Rong with a playful expression.
Shen Rong's face turned pale. Looking at the smile on Zhu Su's face, he was obviously just a teenager, but that smile made him tremble in his heart.
He said that he wanted to join Zhu Su Ji's tail saddle and his horse behind him. On the surface, it seemed that he was doing things for the King of Wu. In fact, he just wanted to ride on Zhu Su's smooth sailing ship.
The biggest shortcoming of the Shen family is that there is no one in the officialdom and they are not strong in following. Although he also spent a lot of effort to make friends with noble officials, for example, Li Jinglong once received gifts from the Shen family. But that was just a casual acquaintance.
There is no hope of becoming an imperial merchant. But if they can take advantage of the opportunity of cooperating with the young prince to gain a layer of royal aura, then even if the young prince has to share part of the profits, the Shen family will be happy to see it happen. After all, under the banner of the royal palace, it will be much easier to do business in the future.
Moreover, this prince has many secret recipes in his hands. If the Shen family can distribute them, the family business will definitely continue to grow. Moreover, this young prince seems to know business affairs, and he should not randomly send laymen to intervene like the royal family.
This is a great opportunity!
But he didn't expect that Zhu Su would ask his whole family to donate? What is donation is to donate all the Shen family's wealth and then become a domestic slave under Zhu Su. After all, he, Shen Rong, is also the richest man in Yingtian. How many generations can An Neng be willing to be a slave?
Cold sweat broke down instantly.
"Haha, I'm just kidding. There's no need to be scared, Officer Shen." Seeing his hesitation, Zhu Su still had a calm smile on his face. I thought to myself that it was indeed the case. I thought that my domineering temper finally broke out and I finally bowed down to him. There really is no such thing in the world. How can someone with such a big family be willing to abandon their family and career to work for someone else?
Immediately, his eyes narrowed slightly, and for a moment, Lao Zhu's usual power appeared on his face: "However, it is best not to play tricks on me. If you want to take advantage of my power, just say so. Don't think that I The king is young and can only take benefits without doing anything."
"If you really want to do things in my name, Zhu Su, there is no other way than to dedicate your whole family. Since you can't bear to part with this glory and wealth, then concentrate on working for this king."
"At least while you are working for me, I promise that no one will dare to touch your Shen family."
"Yes..." Shen Rongruo was a defeated rooster, his old face full of fear. The young prince actually figured out the stakes in a blink of an eye. After receiving this beating, he no longer dared to underestimate this young prince.
"In this case, it's time that Member Shen agreed to cooperate with me." Zhu Su stood up. He did not dare to continue sitting on this rickety chair for a moment. "The things produced in this prince's village will be distributed by your Shen family. The income will be divided into 40 and 60 accounts, six for me and four for the Shen family."
"If you dare to take advantage of the prince, you can split the account twenty-eight. The second member of the Shen family, the eighth prince." Shen Rong said hurriedly. Since this prince is sincerely cooperating, he might as well lower his stature a little lower. It's just a small effort to sell some things on behalf of others. Giving up more money can also restore some trust. Moreover, if His Highness King Wu is willing to cooperate with Shen Family Trading Company for a long time, it will be considered as a big backer.
Zhu Su said oh, but he looked at the old man with admiration. After discovering the mistake, he could immediately express his sincerity and make up for it, which is what a smart person does.
It's just that he doesn't seem to realize how huge the 20% profit he gave up is.
"That's it, it's settled." Zhu Su unfolded the folding fan in his hand, revealing the four characters "Children and old men are not deceived" on the fan. Shen Sen, who was beside Shen Rong, twitched his mouth slightly when he saw it, and quickly lowered his head without saying anything. Zhu Su shook his fan and said, "As I said just now, I have to trouble Mr. Shen to lend me a sum of money. The repayment will be deducted from the project we cooperated with. If the money is not paid in one day, I will get a dividend." The sun is not taken."
"I wonder how much the prince wants to borrow?" Shen Rong asked.
"It's not much. Just a rough calculation, let's borrow five million taels first." Zhu Su said.
"Five...five million?" Shen Rong hesitated.
"What? Can't get it together?"
"No, I can do it! Your Highness has a destiny, how can I, Shen, not obey it?" Shen Rong quickly put away the look of heartache that was reflected on his face. The Ming Dynasty's annual tax revenue was only fifteen million taels. His Highness asked for five million. Even if the glass Buddha was highly profitable, it would still take more than ten years to repay the debt, right?
"That's fine." Zhu Su looked at the expression on his face coldly. Just now I was worried about my life, but now I am sure that my life can be saved, and I immediately started to worry about it. The businessman really couldn't be trusted. If he gave his name to this guy, he might sell it to him one day.
When he turned around, he got into trouble for nothing.
"Please also ask Shen to raise funds as soon as possible. He will be escorted to Bifengshan Huangzhuang for delivery within the month." After the matter was agreed upon, Zhu Su inserted the folding fan back into his waist and left Shen's house with his hands behind his back.
With the start-up funds now available, it is time to build the Imperial Village at the foot of Bifeng Mountain into a Ming-era version of the business circle that can supply the needs of scientific research.
As long as the income and expenditure are balanced, you can still have nothing to worry about when you look back.
"Farewell, Your Highness!" The Shen family's father and son walked Zhu Su and his entourage straight to the door. Seeing that Zhu Su's figure was no longer visible, Shen Rong pulled Shen Sen and said, "Sen'er, go quickly and buy a fast horse. You must intercept your second uncle and the others who are going south."
"They will not be able to move quickly if they drag their families with them. We must bring them back before the city gate is closed."
"Dad, do you really plan to raise these five million? How can our Shen family have so much cash?" Shen Sen clicked his tongue. "This prince doesn't look dignified. He said he was borrowing it, but I don't think he wants to pay it back! It's just a plunder!"
"You're a bit obsessive in your studies, aren't you!" Shen Rong slapped the cane hard. "He just forces us to donate our family wealth, what else can we do? Five million can buy the blessing of a vassal king, which is already a huge profit!"
"Just now, because of my father's financial obsession, I showed some hesitation and showed some hesitation, which made the prince obviously unhappy. Now I am regretting it. I don't know how many more weeks it will take to repair the gap today. If you complain here and are listened to, then How can the prince truly protect my family?"
While scolding his son, Shen Rong also cleared his mind. Although this business is not profitable, it can keep the Shen family safe. The Shen family will not have to worry in the future. Zhu Su's IOU was the Shen family's guarantee of immunity from death in the Ming Dynasty.
Buying your life with money is a very good deal. It's just that today's mood was up and down, and his performance was not up to par. In the future, he still needs to hug the young prince's thigh tightly.
Besides, this prince is already so extraordinary at such a young age, maybe...
Before he succeeded to the throne as emperor, His Majesty was also the "King of Wu"...
hiss!
"Why are you so stunned? Go quickly! Go there in person! The money must be delivered to His Highness King Wu within tomorrow!" Shen Rong seemed to have discovered some incredible royal secret. Shen Rong couldn't help but feel refreshed. His old man There was a frightening light in his eyes, and he hurriedly urged his stupid son who was still bowing his head and thinking hard.
Hey, I used to think that my son was extremely smart. But compared with Prince Wu, how come there is such a huge gap?
Speaking of which, my stupid son still thinks how old His Highness is.
That His Highness might be a golden thigh that can take the Shen family to a higher level!
