Chapter 225
Wang Gui sighed and said, "Anyway, promise him first! If you go to him tomorrow, you will say that the Tang Dynasty Mining will be in charge. He will listen to him in everything and talk about the difficulties in front of him!"
"But he said that he would not be allowed to look for him these days, he would have to rest well..."
"Do you believe this?" Wang Gui said angrily: "He said this to me and Changsun Wuji! He knew that you could not sit down, so he asked you to bring the message and give us a few days to consider. He couldn't understand this, he was really stupid! Okay, you should rest early and go early tomorrow, and you will definitely not be kicked out!"
Wang Pu was scolded and agreed honestly. That night, he rested at Wang Gui's mansion for a night, and early the next morning, he arrived at Li Mu's mansion again.
Li Mu had just finished washing up and was about to have breakfast. When he heard that Wang Pu had arrived, he asked the maid to move his breakfast to the lobby of the front yard and invite Wang Pu to go with him. Wang Pu was flattered and sat down tremblingly. After the feces were poured, he felt that Li Mu treated him more and more as a person. This feeling made him feel a little fluttering. You know, Li Mu's arrogance is famous, and not many people can look at him.
Li Mu picked up the chopsticks, pointed to something on the plate, and said, "This thing is called the 'leek box'. It is made of leeks and eggs as filling, rolled out the dough and wrapped together, made into a crescent shape, and then fryed it in oil. It is very delicious, come and try it."
Li Mu put a box of leeks for Wang Pu. Wang Pu looked at the box of leeks in front of him. He had never seen this food. It smelled very fragrant and had a smell of butter. He couldn't help but his index finger moved. However, before eating, he did not forget to flatter him: "The Marquis is so extraordinary, and every move is fully reflected. Let's talk about this food. Now that winter is already in the winter, vegetables are almost extinct and very expensive. I'm afraid that leeks can only be eaten in Zhulu Marquis' Mansion. Moreover, mixing leeks and eggs into fillings and frying them in oil has never thought of this way of eating. Only the Marquis has such clever thoughts..."
He took a bite and praised, "It smells very fragrant. Could it be that it was fried in beef butter?"
Li Mu said: "Brother Wang is indeed a gourmet, but it is just butter. But it is not the cow I slaughtered. That's it. A tenant of Su Guogong's family didn't carelessly and broke his leg. You also know that this cow is the life of a farmer. The cow broke his leg and he can't farm next year. The farmer has old and young people, and he has the will to die. Su Guogong is kind-hearted. When he heard about this, he gave him some money and asked him to buy another cow to survive. The cow with broken leg has no choice but to slaughter it. I'm sick, so I just sent it over. Actually, I don't like beef, it's meaningless..."
Wang Pu grinned and apologized, but thought to himself, I believe you are a big fool!
He knew exactly what happened to this cow, and of course he would not expose the discomfort. He did not forget that he had something to ask for when he came to Li Mu's mansion today.
After eating two leek boxes, Wang Pu cleared his throat and slowly spoke: "Mr. Marquis, I'm going to bother you today. I want to bother you if you have something to do."
When Li Mu heard this, he quickly put his forehead on his hand and said, "Brother Wang, it's not that I don't want to help, but my brain disease has not been cured yet, and my body is weak, so I'm really not strong enough. Otherwise, I'll get better after a few days. Let's talk about it later?"
Wang Pu pursed his lips and said, "Mr. Marquis, I chatted with my brother yesterday... When talking about this company, my brother means... In doing business, there must be a manager, especially for such a big business, without a decision-maker, there will definitely be problems. In doing business, who in the world dares to compare with Marquis? Therefore, my brother intends to hand over the full power of the Tang Dynasty mining business to the Marquis, but I don't know that Marquis--"
"How did this make it!" Li Mu said 's shocked': "The company has a company system. Didn't everyone gathered together that day? How many shares, how many words, who has more shares, who has the final say? I, Li Mu, don't have any shares at all, how can I be the master of the Wang family in Taiyuan?"
"Marquis!" Wang Pu's tone became more and more sincere, saying, "My brother is not trying to change the system. My brother just wants to hand over the power of the Wang family in Taiyuan to the Marquis to exercise it on his behalf. Of course, the Marquis cannot be bothered for nothing... My brother means that he wants to express it more or less."
Li Mu was displeased and frowned and said, "Shizhong Wang is insulting me. I, Li Mu, are the ones who are short of money? If I speak like this, I can't control it!"
Wang Pu was really out of his way, and he couldn't do anything. This was just a piece of hob meat! There was no way, Wang Pu sighed and said, "Then it's better, the Marquis said, "What the Marquis said is, it's all."
Seeing that the temperature was almost done, Li Mu stretched out his arm to put his shoulder on Wang Pu and laughed: "Brother Wang, you and Shizhong Wang both misunderstood what I mean. You all think I want, but in fact I didn't think about it. If there is, it would be just a 'mutual respect' and 'mutual understanding'. Why do you think I have to work hard to organize a company? Isn't it to hand in the hands of your subordinates? Why don't I invest in shares by myself? Isn't it to avoid suspicion! Of course, the most important thing is that I don't lack money and don't like to work with others-"
Wang Pu listened honestly and said in his heart, asking you to say, "Whoever allows you to make money, you will make sense, and I will listen to whatever you say."
"Let's not talk about what I want first, let's talk about the problems you have encountered. Let's see if I can solve them, and then let's talk about the others."
Finally, I waited for this sentence!
Wang Pu sighed and was worried that Li Mu would regret it, so he hurriedly said, "Mr. Marquis, the situation is now like this. The coal was dug out and the process was very smooth, but it was difficult to transport it to Chang'an. First, the car could not stand the weight of the coal. Second, the road was not good, the road was rugged, and the coal transport trucks were pressing down on gullies. The solid road was better. Some places were not allowed to go at all. If the coal was transported, it would basically not make money. What should I do?"
Li Mu looked amused and cried and said with a twitching voice: "I think it's something, it's just this? It's easy to deal with!"
"It's easy to deal with?" Wang Pu thought there was something wrong with his ears and said repeatedly: "How is it easy to deal with? Please tell me!"
"Cars can't be good, build cars! Roads can't be good, build roads!"
"..." Wang Pu was stunned. The answer sounded like that, but when you think about it carefully, it was like farting! Who doesn't know that cars can't make cars, and roads can't be built. The key question is, who will pay for the money! In this way, it would be no longer profitable to transport coal. If you invest money to build cars and repair roads, are you all fools as shareholders of Datang Mining?
Seeing Wang Pu in a daze, Li Mu smiled and said, "I know what you are thinking, who will pay the money!" Li Mu patted his chest and said, "I'll do it--"
Wang Pu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Marquis!"
“——Let’s find a way!”
When Wang Pu's expression froze, he said with a wry smile: "Mr. Marquis, you are really shaking me. I thought you were going to pay for the road construction."
Li Mu sighed: "I think I don't have money, but I'm afraid that if I do this, I will find someone to hate me!"
Wang Puqi said: "Building roads is a good deed. It's too late to be grateful. Why are you hated?"
Li Mu lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "There is huge profits here-" He glanced around and said in a lower voice: "I have never mentioned this before. We have a good relationship, so I will reveal a little to you first."
Wang Pu nodded suddenly and said, "Mr. Marquis, tell me!"
"You also know that the treasury is empty now and there is no money to build roads. Your Majesty is worried about this. A few days ago... just before I got sick, Your Majesty summoned me again. He told me, Li Mu, you always have some unexpected ideas. Now the treasury is empty and you want to build roads, what can you do?"
Wang Pu said blankly: "What's the solution?"
Li Mu spread his hands: "How can I do it? The treasury has no money, can I make money?"
Wang Pu was immediately disappointed: "What else should I say..."
"Don't worry." Li Mu continued to secretly and said: "Or what if you say, people are forced out. Your Majesty asked me, I can't say I don't know. I just thought about it, suddenly!" Li Mu suddenly increased the volume, scared Wang Pu: "I came up with a wonderful and good idea for me!"
Wang Pu said anxiously: "Mr. Marquis, you said that, but I was so anxious!"
"I'll ask you, the court has no money, who has money?"
Wang Pu said blankly: "Who can be richer than the court? I, I don't know."
"I!" Li Mu pointed to himself and pointed at Wang Pu again: "You, the Li family of Zhaojun, the Cui family of Qinghe, and the big families in various places, everyone has money!"
Wang Pu rolled his eyes and almost turned himself to death. After talking for a long time, he still asked us to take the money - isn't this foolish boy? Wang Pu suddenly felt that he was being fooled and said angrily: "Mr. Marquis, don't you play with me. Even if we have money, aren't we plundered? Now there is still money."
Li Mu's old face turned red, he cleared his throat and said, "I don't have money, don't you still have food!"
"You want grain too?" Wang Pu didn't expect Li Mu to be so thick-skinned, and said helplessly: "I have given you all the money, and you still have the idea of buying our grain. Are you just urging Your Majesty to steal us..."
"Not nor is it!" Li Mu waved his hand repeatedly and said, "Snatch it? What is robbing it? If you rob it, you won't return it. This is called robbing. However, the solution I came up with is definitely not robbing it. This is a business!"
"I didn't hear it."
"This is how this is done. I'll explain it to you and you'll understand..." Li Mu snapped his fingers, Wei Yingluo came up and removed the remaining soup on the table. Li Mu asked her to take up the paper and pen. Wei Yingluo helped Li Mu spread a piece of rice paper, Wang Pu helped grind the ink, Li Mu dipped some ink, and drew a road on the paper. At both ends of the road, there was another city gate, with the words Chang'an written on the left and Shuozhou written on the right.
"Look at this picture, suppose the road I drew was the road between Chang'an and Shuozhou. The road is muddy now and it needs to be built." As he said that, Li Mu divided the road into three sections and said: "Taiyuan Wang Family, Qinghe Cui Family, and Zhaojun Li Family, you each built the road--"
"I don't have money, Marquis!"
"You have food! Isn't food just money?"
"Mr. Marquis, we no longer make money now. We will use the money to build roads. This..."
"I haven't finished talking, why are you in a hurry!" Li Mu's "swipe" and left a few more transactions, saying, "You paid for the road, so naturally you can't lose money. Suppose, you spent 100,000 guan to build a road, and you set up a checkpoint on this road. Whoever walks from this road will have to pay the money. You spend 100,000 guan to collect 200,000 guan to take it. You are not satisfied with the double profit? How can you make double the money in this world?
Wang Pu was stunned. It was really cost-effective to say this!
etc!
Wang Pu was fooled and had already had paranoia for being killed. He always felt that Li Mu could not let others take advantage of it. There must be a pitfall in it. He stared at the picture for a long time and said, "Marty! I have a question. How many years can we earn back 200,000 yuan in road construction?"
"How come it's... seven or eight years?"
"Seven or eight years?" Wang Pu was so angry that he almost turned his back and said, "Mr. Marquis, aren't you frightening people? Seven or eight years... It's too long."
"What's wrong... Yoyo, you seem to be very dissatisfied." Li Mu said in disbelief, "Are you stupid to me? Let me tell you, since I can come up with this method, it must be feasible. A large family like your Taiyuan Wang family will have moldy food stocks, right? Are you keeping them useful? Take them out and sell them? Who can buy them? Those who have no money can afford them, and those who have rich have food like you do not need them. If you take out too much, the price of grain on the market will fall, and you will suffer the loss yourself!"
"But if you take it out to build the road, it will be different. From Chang'an to Shuozhou, how many refugees who are not full of food? Do you need to give money? Give a bite of food and they will come to work for you. After the road is repaired, what you take out is just food that is waiting for mold. What are you going to get in exchange for? In the next five years, seven years, or even ten years, as long as the carriage and horses on this road will have to pay you money. You are equivalent to changing the food that is waiting for mold to get in this way! And it is still twice or three times the interest rate difference! It's just that it's late to collect money, but the money is guaranteed! Can this world be chaotic for five years and ten years? No, as long as the world is not chaotic, there are people walking on the road, and if someone walks, you will have money to make money every day! Isn't that a good thing?"
Wang Pu was a little confused. He couldn't keep up with Li Mu's thinking. He didn't dare to speak until he fully understood.
Chapter completed!
