"Uncle Li is so confident?"
"Of course, Hanyi is the best!" Li Qing said.
Zhu Wanqing shook her head: "Uncle Li takes it for granted. We think it's good, but others may not."
Then, he added: "Even if, as Uncle Li said, people overseas like Hanyi, selling it is still a big problem. You can get the silk in pieces just by selling them, but if it's a finished product... I don't know how much time is wasted." "
"No, you are wrong." Li Qing said, "I mean to open a store."
"Open a store?"
"That's right," Li Qing nodded, "To be precise, let them help sell it and we will supply it."
"This..." Zhu Wanqing said, "Is this possible?"
"Why not?" Li Qing said, "In the beginning, we will be responsible for the profit and loss. After they taste the benefits, it will be easier to operate in the future."
Hearing this, Zhu Wanqing's beautiful eyebrows frowned. She always felt that this was too risky.
"Uncle Li, the cycle of going to sea and coming back is usually more than a year. Our family has four large merchant ships, and we barely go to sea twice a year. It was originally a profitable business, but if you do it like this..." Zhu Wanqing said with a bitter smile. , "If you don't do one well, you'll have two years of hard work in vain."
"To be honest, I don't understand business." Li Qing said, "However, shopping malls are like battlefields. If you don't innovate and be the first to eat crabs, you will never be able to break out of the encirclement."
After a pause, "Standing still will only slowly die out in the end. It is true that there are risks involved, but if you rush out, the rewards will be extremely rich."
Zhu Wanqing was silent.
After a long while, she asked: "Then... try it?"
"Let's try it. Our family is rich and has the capital to try and make mistakes." Li Qing said with a smile: "If it doesn't work, the replacement will only cost two years. If it works, it will be a big profit."
"If you really make a lot of money, others will copy our work," Zhu Wanqing said.
"Leave it to them to copy it." Li Qing didn't care at all, "It won't be possible to pick up people's wisdom."
After a pause, "By then, we have made money and the market has opened, and they can only eat the leftovers. There are often followers, but you can't make big money by following the trend."
"Oh... it will work." Zhu Wanqing smiled bitterly, "Let me tell you, Uncle Li actually cooked for me personally, so he dared to wait for me here."
"You just need to grasp the general direction, and leave the specific details to the people below." Li Qing said, "You can give them dividends and extra compensation based on performance. The better you do, the more money you will make, and inspire them." Just their gumption.”
Zhu Wanqing nodded slowly: "It seems that after the new year, I will be busy."
"I'm not busy. I'll help you when the time comes." Li Hong said, "The emperor said that he would stay in Jiangnan after his vacation. Now that the sea is peaceful, I will just practice my naval skills. I am much more leisurely than before."
"It's just you, let's forget it, right?" Zhu Wanqing curled her lips, showing no face at all.
Li Hong was dissatisfied: "What are you talking about? The Japanese pirates have been beaten to a pulp by me. I can help you take care of your business. What's the problem?"
"Haha, you really may not be as good as your son in this aspect." Zhu Wanqing teased.
"That's too much!" Li Hong snorted, "Godfather, you said she..."
"Eat your food." Li Qing interrupted him and said to himself: You are just a stubborn person, don't go back and make compensation.
Li Hong: "..."
To be honest, Li Qing didn't think highly of his godson either.
Li Hongzhen is not a businessman.
However, he is still very confident about the prospect of opening stores and doing business overseas.
Although this is not an era of sound laws, it doesn't really matter. As long as the market is opened, the supply will be directly supplied later.
It's really impossible to do it, and the profit will only be two years, which is completely affordable.
The reason why Li Qing is like this is that after the global trade economy is fully launched in the future, the entire industry will undergo earth-shaking changes. gòйЪ.ōΓg
Nowadays, this most primitive business seems outdated.
In the future market, prices will definitely become more and more transparent. In other words, profits will gradually decrease. By the same token, trade volume will become higher and higher.
In fact, under the impact of the high quality and high prices of Ming Dynasty goods, the aboriginal industry will be difficult to survive, and in the end, they will have to become second-tier traders in Ming Dynasty.
Determining price based on quantity may seem like a disadvantage, but it can revitalize the economy and allow more people to have a job and have extra money.
In this way, internal circulation can be promoted.
Whether it is treasure banknotes or gold and silver, they are just currency. The value of currency lies in its flow. As long as it flows, it can bring prosperity.
Otherwise, even if there is gold everywhere, it will be in vain if the currency is not flowing.
Li Qing greeted: "Eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables, they are getting cold."
…
A little separation is better than a wedding,
After eating and drinking, the couple started to flirt with each other, and their minds were not on chatting.
As someone who has been through this, Li Qing cannot tell what they are thinking.
"Go and rest, I'll go out for a walk." Li Qing stood up and walked out, giving them plenty of room to mess around.
In order to prevent Wang Shouren from barging in and ruining their good life, Li Qing locked the door.
~
Jiaofang Division.
There were not many customers during the day.
In the front hall, several eunuchs were warming themselves over the fire, eating roasted sweet potatoes, and chatting animatedly.
The young eunuch recognized Li Qing, immediately threw away the sweet potato, and trotted forward, "Hey, the young master hasn't been here for a long time."
"Who are you……?"
"Eunuch Liu is my godfather," the young eunuch pointed at the cloak on Li Qing, "Young master, you forget your things. I got this cloak for you."
"Oh, it's you." Li Qing took off his cloak, "In that case, please do me a favor and pass this cloak to Eunuch Liu on my behalf."
"It's a small matter." The young eunuch took it and asked, "Master, are you here to have a drink, or..."
He raised his eyebrows with a smirk on his face, but also a hint of envy.
Li Qing thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm here just to return my cloak."
He was afraid of encountering the same situation as last time.
"Young Master, stay here," the young eunuch saw that he was about to leave and said hurriedly, "My godfather is free, why don't you ask your godfather to come over?"
"Yeah... that's fine." Li Qing was also idle. His son and daughter-in-law were having a busy time at home. He couldn't go back for the time being, so he would go to the palace instead. He would go back and forth, chatting and reminiscing, and he wouldn't be pressed for time. .
By the way, has the oiran been arranged? Whether it succeeds or not, there must be a result, right?
Li Qing sniffed his nose and said, "Give me some Xuande potatoes."
"Okay." The little eunuch immediately ran to get a piece, "Sir, it's a bit hot, please be careful."
Li Qing took it, took out a piece of broken silver and threw it to him.
"Hey, thank you for the reward, young master." The little eunuch smiled happily. He had enough three coins.
Xuande potatoes have a high yield, so they are cheap. For three coins, they can eat roasted Xuande potatoes until the New Year and they will be rich.

Not long after, Liu Jin hurried over with the young eunuch.
"Oh, Master, you really want to bring trouble to our family!" Liu Jin had an affectionate look on her face, and even the slightest wrinkles on her face were smiled.
Li Qing felt a chill and couldn't help but shiver.
"Sorry, I've been a little busy lately, so it took me so long to return the cloak."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's the twelfth lunar month of winter and there aren't many banquets in the palace. The Emperor likes to be quiet. The Emperor is busy with everything, so our family is very relaxed."
Liu Jin smiles very approachably. He seems to have developed a habit. The folds on his face are full of smile lines. Even when he is not smiling, it gives people the feeling that he is smiling.
He habitually half-bent, with a low posture, which invisibly lifted people up.
Li Qing could see that he didn't do it deliberately to himself, but it was engraved into his bones. He would do this to anyone with a higher status than him.
"Go, go, go," Liu Jin dismissed several eunuchs, laughing and scolding: "There are few guests, so we can't be lazy, everyone should stay in their seats."
"Yes, father-in-law (godfather)," the little eunuch said with a look of dismay. Each of them carried a roasted sweet potato and went to his place.
"A few little brats..."
Liu Jin muttered, turned his head, and immediately changed into a flattering posture, switching between flowing words, very natural and without any sense of separation.
"It's rare for the young master to come here..."
"I'm just bored. Come here to relieve your boredom. Stop arranging girls for me." Li Qing interrupted him.
Liu Jin didn't force the sales. The oiran didn't catch Li Qing's eyes last time, so he wouldn't use that trick again. "Then our family will have someone prepare wine and food."
"I just ate and I came to give you the cloak." Li Qing said, walking straight to the stove and turning over the sweet potatoes that were not yet cooked on the stove.
When Liu Jin saw this, he also came to the stove and sat down, helping to turn over the roasted sweet potatoes.
"I can't tell that even a young master of his stature likes to eat this." Liu Jin said with a smile, "Actually, our family also likes this kind of food. Although it is whole grains, it tastes very sweet, soft and waxy, oh, it's still good. It must be our Sanbao eunuch."
Speaking of the Three Treasures, Liu Jin looked full of reverence and even a little fanaticism.
The group of eunuchs all regard the Three Treasures as their idols.
Wang Zhen at the beginning, Wang Zhi later, and the eunuchs of this level were also like this, which can be seen.
It's no wonder that eunuchs were originally slaves of the emperor, but Sanbao, despite being a eunuch, did great things.
The Records of Taizong and the Records of Xuanzong are full of details. Every time the eunuchs talked about the Three Treasures, they were enthusiastic.
There is also glory.
Li Qingxiao asked: "You also know that this Xuande potato was brought back by Sanbao, right?"
"Hey~ Even though our family doesn't know a few words, we still know these things. Which man in the palace doesn't know about the affairs of the Sanbao eunuch?" He gave a thumbs up, "This is what he is like!"
Li Qing was amused and delighted, and remembered him fondly.
Suddenly, the cheerful, optimistic, positive and smiling Sambo came into view.
I remember when we first met, he was still a boy and Xiaochuang's playmate. In the blink of an eye...he has been gone for so many years.
Liu Jin, but Li Qing didn't know this, asked: "Master, do you know that the Three Treasures eunuchs went to the West?"
"I've heard of it." Li Qing nodded, "I heard that I went there seven times."
"Does the young master know which countries the three treasure eunuchs have gone to?"
"This..." Li Qing was dumbfounded. He really couldn't remember clearly.
Liu Jin chuckled and said, "Our family knows a lot about it."
He started showing off, going on and on, his face filled with pride.
Li Qing didn't interrupt him. He also wanted to revisit the places where San Bao had been and left his footprints...
