Chapter 728 Li Chengqian's acting skills
Three days later, in Chang'an, Juxian Pavilion.
The crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, the crown prince of Goguryeo, and Li Muyun and Gao Minzhi sat in a private room.
Prince Xiaoyao held the teapot and sucked it all the way, and kept muttering: "Chengqian, today I can't drink it. You don't know that in the past half month, I drink five or three dishes every day, and it's almost gone."
Gao Minzhi's face was constipated, and the corners of his mouth twitched for a long time. In the villa area of Mount Li, he didn't know how much wine he had been consumed by this Xiaoyao Prince who was about to drink. But he didn't do anything yet, but he said he was drunk and his face was either.
Li Chengqian didn't know what happened in the villa area of Mount Li, so he didn't persuade Li Muyun at the moment, and said to the other two: "It's okay if he doesn't drink it. Come on, Prince Gao Heng, Prince Minzhi, let's drink a drink."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Although Gao Heng is also the prince, he is obviously much worse than Li Chengqian, let alone he is still a proton's identity. He has to drink whatever he says about this glass of wine.
This is even more so for Gao Minzhi. Although his head was as big as a bucket, he still gritted his teeth and drank the wine.
After three rounds of drinking, Li Chengqian put down his cup, looked at Gao Minzhi and said, "Little Prince Minzhi."
Gao Minzhi did not dare to be entrusted and bowed, "Just as long as your Highness calls me Minzhi."
"Well, that's good." Li Chengqian nodded: "Minzhi, you should have gained a lot in this trip to Lishan Villa, right?"
Gao Minzhi replied respectfully: "To be honest with your highness, you have indeed negotiated several orders."
Li Chengqian asked, "Is there any difficulty?"
"This..." Gao Minzhi hesitated and looked at Li Muyun beside him.
Li Muyun understood it and gave a reassuring look, and then said to Li Chengqian: "That's right. Although the little prince Minzhi has attracted some investment, there are some problems in equity distribution."
Li Chengqian asked in confusion: "Oh? What's the problem?"
"Minzhi's little prince believes that this cooperation should be based on the Goguryeo court, which means that all our investments are cooperation with the Goguryeo court. As for the various aristocratic families in Goguryeo, they do not have the right to cooperate with us."
"That's how..." Li Chengqian hesitated for a moment: "Can this palace be understood as the Tang Dynasty court also endorses those families and nobles?"
"Minzhi is frightened, but I hope your highness can agree." Gao Minzhi said, while looking at Gao Heng who had not spoken for a long time. It seemed that he hoped he could help him say a few words.
At this time, Gao Heng naturally did not feel comfortable pretending to be stupid, and he also made a respectful attitude: "Your Highness, the business this time is really big. It is actually the best choice to endorse the family below by the court. At least it is expensive and both sides can rest assured. Do you think so?"
Nodded, Li Chengqian said: "Well, it's not impossible. But if you cooperate with the official, do you need to negotiate the equity?"
To put it bluntly, equity is the right to speak. After all, doing business is not a house, and you always need someone to make an idea.
At this time, equity plays a vital role, that is, who has the final say for who has more shares.
Of course, this kind of finality requires strength. It is not so easy for Goguryeo to get more equity even if she gets more equity as a vassal state.
So Gao Heng and Gao Minzhi didn't even think about it and immediately replied: "Your Highness, don't bother. We think that Datang can get 60% of the shares and Goguryeo get 40%."
"Oh, 60%, this is not impossible. But... can your country really take out so much money? As far as I know, the nobles of the Tang Dynasty paid nearly 6 million yuan this time. If the court added, it would probably cost more than 10 million yuan. Can your country really take out eight million yuan at one time?"
"This..." Gao Minzhi was instantly silent.
Given Goguryeo's current state, it would be a problem to take out 8 million coins at one time, not to mention 800,000 coins at one time.
But if you can't take it out, wouldn't it be like admitting that you want to make money by yourself?
While hesitating, Li Muyun heard: "Chengqian, eight million coins are not a small amount. It is probably difficult for anyone to take them out at one time."
"Then what you mean..." Li Chengqian frowned slightly and glanced at Li Muyun.
"I discussed it with the little prince Minzhi a few days ago and had an unripe idea." Li Muyun turned the purple clay teapot in his hand and paused and said, "Do you see if you can help Goguryeo by borrowing money, five cents of interest, let's take all the money first, and then gradually deduct it from the profit."
"I'm afraid this is not good, right? If all the money is paid by us, eight million guan will be a considerable amount for the court." Li Chengqian was a little hesitant.
Li Muyun smiled and said, "Don't there be aristocratic families? You can discuss with them. If not, they will give them more. At worst, we won't have the five-point interest. After all, the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo are also friendly neighbors with the same clothes. If you can, it's not a problem to help."
Gao Minzhi also interrupted at this time: "Yes, Your Highness, Minzhi can use the credit guarantee of the Goguryeo court, and the money will definitely be paid back."
"Oh..." Li Chengqian sighed: "Your Highness Gao Heng, Little Prince Minzhi, it's not that I don't want to agree to you. It's because the money is too big. With just verbal guarantees, I can't explain it to my father."
"Then, what should I do? Your Highness, you must help!" Gao Minzhi was a little anxious.
He was willing to invest in the Tang Dynasty by 1,000. Except for those mine projects, all the projects he negotiated in the Tang Dynasty were very profitable. If cooperation could not be reached and all the projects were unilaterally controlled by the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo would undoubtedly suffer a great loss.
"Seven-point profit, I can try to talk to you, but I don't guarantee whether the negotiation can be completed." Li Chengqian was silent for a long time and finally said something that made Gao Minzhi feel more at ease.
Gao Heng even promised: "Thank you, Your Highness, as long as your Highness is willing to help, not to mention seven points, even eight points will be fine."
In fact, everyone present understood that the reason why Li Chengqian said 70% of the profit was because he was asking for benefits. Compared with the five-point interest proposed by Li Muyun, the extra two points should be prepared to be put into his pocket.
This kind of thing is no longer surprising in Gao Heng and Gao Minzhi's eyes. If Li Chengqian doesn't take this opportunity to make money, it will be the most disappointing thing for them.
