Chapter 392: The careful father-in-law, watch me fooling around to make money
Li Jiancheng shook his head and explained: "Second brother, I'm afraid you're wrong. How could this kid have never thought that there will definitely be different performances in the future, so everyone basically wants to watch them every day."
"Hahahaha, my father-in-law knows me! You see this good show of selling kidnapping. He is divided into trilogy. Today is just the first part, and tomorrow the second part will appear. Who do you think will miss it?" Bai Fan said with a smile.
Li Jiancheng nodded and sighed: "So, pay the tax! How much are you going to pay?"
Bai Fan's smile suddenly froze. Did he get a little proud? He forgot that there is an old fox who plays economy here? His father-in-law Li Jiancheng has been in charge of the Tang Dynasty economy for many years and has obtained many books on political economy in the academy. It is impossible not to know the various things here.
"This, father-in-law, it is not easy for a son-in-law to earn two small money. I pay taxes in accordance with national laws. I will not lose a penny and will never owe it!" Bai Fan patted his chest and promised.
Li Er smiled and said, "Brother is too worried. Although this kid is greedy for money, as he said, his business is a model of the Tang Dynasty's tax payments and he never pays less."
Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "Second brother, you don't understand!
Boy, this is for your own good. How much do you want to pay?"
Bai Fan was speechless, I was determined to eat. At this time, I really wanted to slap myself in the face. Why are you showing off? Such an important business secret is to show off to the Minister of Finance of the court? Aren't you going to the toilet to carry a lantern? You are looking for death.
"30% of the net profit!" Bai Fan gritted his teeth.
"70%!" Li Jiancheng stared at Bai Fan and said in a deep voice.
Bai Fan was about to jump up in a hurry, "Father-in-law, are you robbing? Do you know how much 70% of it is? I worked hard to build this place and used how much manpower and material resources. Is it not enough to be a government official in the court? It is equivalent to being confiscated, okay?"
"Then all the people will be returned to the government and the court will operate it!" Li Jiancheng clapped his hands and agreed.
I was also thinking in my heart, is this kid really not knowing or not? It is not a good thing to have too much money in my hands. I said before that you are rich in the world, but you have a lot of ways to spend money, and no one cares. Now you are constantly sweeping away Chang'an wealth. Can the court tolerate you?
"No, no, why should I take it away? Besides, the court cannot play this entertainment city except me!" Bai Fan retorted.
Li Er seemed to understand and asked, "Brother, are you too strict? How much money can this thing make in a year? Do you want him to have 70%?"
Li Jiancheng smiled and looked at Bai Fan. The meaning was very obvious. Is he asking, do you say or I say it?
Looking at the father-in-law's eyes, Bai Fan had no choice but to lose and explained, "I have roughly calculated this theater alone. Every scene will not be full in the future, so the income will fluctuate. The average income per day is 1,000 guan, and a year is 360,000 guan!"
"There are so many of these?" Li Er was shocked.
Li Jiancheng secretly scolded Bai Fan for being cunning and explained: "It's only more or less. Let's listen to him and be surprised to be behind!"
"The entire entertainment city is full of food, drink and entertainment. The original intention of our establishment is to provide Chang'an people with a place to spend money, otherwise everyone will have money but no place to spend it, and it will be easy to cause trouble over time.
The Tang Dynasty lacks entertainment projects at all. At present, the entertainment city is the only good place, so basically the people who settle in Chang'an spend their spare money here.
The ministers have not calculated the total amount of the income here, but roughly estimate that it is certain that 80% of the remaining money in the hands of the people of Chang'an are the specific numbers..."
Seeing Bai Fan being hesitant and unable to say it, Li Jiancheng continued: "At least tens of millions of qian a year! The richer the Tang Dynasty, the bigger the number!"
"What?" Li Er was surprised and all the wine glasses fell to the ground.
"What a shame? Isn't it embarrassing? Isn't it just a few small money? Don't bother me watching the show. If you don't watch it, go home!" Li Yuan cursed angrily.
Hearing the movement, all the officials looked at each other in the distance, all discussing how the emperor angered the Supreme Emperor.
Li Er exclaimed in his heart, his father said he was generous and he started to be generous now. Is that a small amount of money? It’s tens of millions of dollars!
In the ninth year of Wude, how much effort was spent to raise the 300,000 chunks of military expenses for the Northern War against the Turks? At this time, Li Er could still recall it.
When the wool business was just completed, how much profit was in a year? I remember that it was the first wealthy year in the Tang Dynasty. It was relying on the wool income at that time. Of course, the wool business has become bigger and stronger now, and it has earned tens of millions of dollars a year. However, the Tang Dynasty basically relied on this to provide expenses everywhere!
Now Li Jiancheng told himself that a single entertainment city can earn a wool business in the country. What does this mean?
At this time, he turned to look at Bai Fan again. Li Er's eyes became uneasy and said in a deep voice: "Boy, let's have a national entertainment city!"
Bai Fan shook his head firmly, "I said, it's not that I'm greedy for money, but that no one in the court can play with it except me."
"Old method, possession belongs to the court. If you have the right to manage it, you will get 20% of the profits!"
"Your Majesty, you are even more stingy than my stingy father-in-law. He will give me 30% more!" Bai Fan was speechless.
"He is your father-in-law, and that is definitely a personal relationship! You are already rich in the world, and 20% of them are enough for your Bai family to eat and drink. How much money do you need?" Li Er said angrily.
Helpless, it seems that it is impossible not to bleed today, but the interests that should be fought for are still to fight for. It is time to exert the power of your tongue debate.
Sitting upright, Bai Fan's temperament changed and said seriously: "I'm not greedy for money. My family doesn't even have a servant or maid. I'm wearing an ordinary scholar's robe. People even laugh at me as the nobleman who looks the most like a nobleman."
Li Er and Li Jiancheng nodded. This matter was true. Everyone knows that this kid is quite simple on weekdays.
"I plan to make money in the entertainment city. No matter what, I am the big deal. First, national education, I plan to work with the Imperial College and the Imperial College to spend a lot of money to open the official academies throughout the Tang Dynasty within five years. Even if this cost is saved, it is a bottomless pit, with at least 2 million yuan per year."
"This is a good thing. I support you. The court can come forward!" Li Er interrupted.
"The court? After I, Bai Fan, I will do my business and spend it to the people. However, after the hands of all civil and military officials, hum, even if they are honest and frugal, they will be able to achieve 40% of their work, so that your Majesty should praise the clarity of the administration." Bai Fan mocked.
Li Jiancheng looked bad. After all, he was the boss of the Ministry of Finance. When it comes to greed, wouldn’t he be his subordinates?
But Li Er and the others did not refute. They also heard about the styles of officials at all levels. After all, this has been the case in all dynasties. What can we do?
"Secondly, Zhongnan Academy is expanding its enrollment. This time it will collect 1,000 students, and in the future it will collect 10,000 or even 100,000. In order to ensure that every student in the academy does not worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, the academy will take care of everything, but the academy does not make a profit and does not charge fees. The student only depends on the qualifications. Once you enter the academy, you will be our children, and all expenses will be paid for by the academy.
This is also a bottomless pit. Each child can reach at least ten to hundreds of stakes a year. In addition, building a college, and laying branches in various places in the future, etc., is also a bottomless pit. How much does it cost? The court cannot take over this job."
Li Er was speechless in these two items alone. It can be seen that Bai Fan was full of public opinion and what he said was true.
