Chapter 562 Another Kind (Part 2)
The reason why a playboy is called a playboy is naturally that face is more important than anything else. Cheng Chumo's yelling, and others could no longer refuse.
Li Muyun could only smile helplessly at such a result. He knew that Cheng Chumo was helping him, but the result was somewhat different from his own.
But forget it, since things are already like this, don’t say anything and go to the next step.
In the following time, Li Muyun made another enthusiastic speech, thanked the dandy for the welcome banquet, and agreed to gather at his mansion in three days to discuss the plan to make a fortune.
The playboys expressed their sincere admiration for Li Muyun's loyalty through various methods, and felt that the trip was worth it. They agreed that they would definitely bring money to his home in three days to support his "book selling" plan.
That night, Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty received a tip. He frowned and thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how Li Muyun would make money by selling books.
Changsun Wuji also couldn't figure it out, but his purpose of finding Li Er had nothing to do with Li Muyun. The reason why he talked about this was just an introduction. After talking for a while, he turned the topic to the steel mill: "Your Majesty, what are your plans for this steel mill? I heard that the Prince Xiaoyao planned to completely withdraw from this industry."
"This kid is a smart guy. I know that I will not keep the steel business in his hands all the time. It's not surprising that I handed over it over, but..." Li Shimin suddenly stopped halfway and glanced at Changsun Wuji: "I plan to hand over this steel factory to you for management. I don't know what you have plans?"
Changsun Wuji was prepared for this and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I plan to expand the scale of the steel plant to at least four times as early as before. In this way, more people can be placed to work, and secondly, more raw materials can be provided for the supervisor."
"Well, that's OK." Li Shimin nodded and then asked, "Then do you know why I handed over this steel mill to your hands?"
Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment. According to his understanding, the steel business was originally owned by the Changsun family, and it was reasonable to take care of the Changsun family with a new technology. But now that Li Er asked this, the main reason was obviously not because of nepotism.
Seeing that Changsun Wuji was not speaking, Li Er stood up and walked around the room: "I don't want anyone outside the Tang Dynasty to know the recipe and information of this craft, do you understand?"
"No, I understand!" Changsun Wuji was so smart, and he almost instantly understood what Li Er meant.
If the things are handed over to private hands, the craftsmanship and formula are personal. If someone wants to learn it, I am embarrassed to find Li Er, even if I find him.
But if things are being jailed, then some outsiders, such as Japan and Goguryeo, can go to jailed and secretly learn these things by using the name of communication.
On the surface, although Li Er was extremely generous, he still had to keep some things confidential, but this black disaster requires some people to memorize.
Of course, outsiders think that Li Er took care of his uncle, so he handed over the business to Changsun Wuji. He would never think that he was trying to keep the secret better.
As for whether Changsun Wuji will really keep the secret, there is no doubt about this, because if he wants to break the steel business, he must not let his craftsmanship and formula be leaked, otherwise the things that everyone knows about in the Tang Dynasty will not be valuable, and the Changsun family will give the money to others.
The steel business he had settled, Changsun Wuji said goodbye from Li Er, and after returning to the mansion, he called Changsun to the study room, inquired in detail about Li Muyun's performance today, and even did not let go of every word he had said.
"Father, what do you think Li Muyun is going to do? Is he really going to sell books?" Changsun Chong had already learned everything Li Muyun said at the dinner table when he got home in the afternoon. Seeing the old man asking for it for the second time, he was also suspicious and couldn't help asking.
"This person is unfathomable and has unpredictable common sense. He doesn't know what he is selling in his father. You should be more cautious when you go to his house in three days." Changsun Wuji did not answer his son's question positively, but just gave him a careful advice.
This was the first time Changsun Chong saw that his father didn’t understand something, so hesitated and said, “Father, why don’t the child go?”
"No, you have to go!" Changsun Wuji flatly denied Er'er's proposal: "Li Muyun is a very smart person. Such a person will never do stupid things, so even if this matter is not good, at least it will not be harmful, so he still has to go."
"But..." Changsun Chong wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Changsun Wuji: "It's only one hundred coins, but my Changsun family can afford it. But you've gone and talk less and don't express your opinion easily."
"No, I remember it." Changsun Chong nodded heavily.
With the support of the old man, the hundred-spoon copper coins were produced by the family, so Changsun Chong naturally would not object.
The same dialogue also happened in several other companies, and the opinions of several major officials in the court were basically the same. Even if there was no benefit, there would be no harm in the end. It would be better to regard a hundred-yuan currency as the money for making friends.
Li Muyun naturally would not know the ideas of other companies, and was working hard to recall the way of making paper at this time.
Due to the craftsmanship, the price of paper from the Tang Dynasty was a bit outrageous. Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary wealthy families would not dare to use it happily.
As long as the paper problem is solved, movable type printing is no problem.
With cheap paper and movable type printing, the price of books will naturally be reduced. At that time, small profits will be high and low. As long as others do not master the method of making paper, they can make the money all the time.
As for public papermaking and movable type printing... Sorry, Li Muyun is not so generous. He will never make any public until he earns gold that can bury himself.
Li Muyun is not the kind of person who is the public in the world. In some ways, he is even selfish. If the background is not strong enough and worried about being jealous, he would not even plan to play with those playboys. After all, taking them with him requires a large portion of the benefits.
Su Wanqing stood behind Li Muyun. She hadn't seen this girl lose a lot of weight for several days. She felt a little sad that she had not defended Shuozhou's property.
