Chapter 44
The second prince wants to do business with Li Xian?
Everyone was shocked, even Li Xian was also shocked. In the eyes of ordinary people, spiritual practice is the right way; it is a shame to do business as a prince.
But Li Xian's mind turned several times in an instant: What do you mean? Is there any plan?
In an instant, Li Xian's brain was overclocked, "Second Highness, Li Xian knows how much he is worth, and all of this is just arranged by Mr. Xu. As the second prince, he can definitely recruit a few counselors."
"Li Xian, don't be modest. I'm going to build a factory with 100,000 looms. You must teach me how to run a factory. I think, how to run a huge factory, no one is better than you. Experience it."
It turned out to be this one!
After confirming these words, Li Xian felt relieved a lot; if it was only like this, there would naturally be no problem. But, is it really that simple?
After being disturbed by the second prince, the eldest prince couldn't pull Li Xian to talk, and it was getting dark, so everyone dispersed.
It's just that there is a little tail but it doesn't go away with Li Xian.
"Zhao Fei, don't you want to go home? It's fine to play again tomorrow."
"Big brother, let me follow you? I don't want to go back."
Li Xian blinked and looked at the woman next to him, "May I ask what your name is?"
After a little hesitation, the woman said stiffly, "My surname is Qing, the color of Qing."
It's fake! It can be judged by thinking with kneecaps that this woman is hiding her identity. But at last it has a name.
"Miss Qing, Xiao Fei doesn't want to go back, so just stay with me for now, what do you think?"
"Auntie, Auntie, I don't want to go back." Zhao Fei shook "Miss Qing"'s hand.
"Hey... Then I will trouble Mr. Li."
"No trouble, no trouble. It's so late, I'll send someone to take Miss Qing back." Li Xian wanted to take this opportunity to obtain the real identity of the other party.
Unexpectedly, this "Miss Qing" suddenly smiled brightly, and there was a faint taste of laughter hidden in her words: "Mr. Li, although I am a woman, I am still in the foundation building period."
Li Xian blushed, only Xu Ren beside him was in the foundation building stage, and the rest were all in the Qi refining stage; this is really embarrassing.
It feels like a man driving a luxury car says to his beloved girl: Let me take you home. As a result, the girl shook her head: No, there is a special plane to pick me up.
Li Xian is in this mood at the moment, it's terrible.
However, Li Xian is thick-skinned, "Miss Qing, the road is dark at night, this is our latest research, a variable-focus night running light. This is an experimental product, and it is not worth a lot of money. Please ask Miss Qing to help me find out what else I need. improved."
"Alright then." "Girl Qing" finally accepted Li Xian's gift with a smile.
Do night running lights need military use? Should zoom technology and convex lens technology be kept secret? Let all of this go to hell, young master, I want to "love beauty and not country". Didn’t I say that one must enjoy life to the fullest, and there is no verse that says ‘be cautious in life’.
Besides, what kind of military secret is the night running light, this thing can be imitated by just looking at it. To be honest, in this era of immortals and rotten streets, there are countless talents in the world; there are many things better than night lights.
Also, His Majesty the Emperor said that night running lights cannot be sold to outsiders, but he did not say that they cannot be "given away". Enen, young master, I have not violated the oracle.
Then Zhao Fei was also led to rest.
Li Xian had been watching "Green Girl" leave the expo, and then reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
But Xu Ren beside him sighed, "Master, this woman is not simple."
Li Xian is very confident: "I can see that it must be a descendant of a declining nobleman. Although the clothes are plain, the demeanor of a lady is not something that ordinary families can cultivate."
Xu Ren shook his head, "I'm afraid it's more complicated than this. This woman has an imperial aura, a royal aura."
"Imperial air? Sir, still hopeful?" Li Xian suddenly realized that there are so many Xu Renhui.
"Hehe, young master, it's not easy to be a counselor. But my ability to hope is just superficial. If someone deliberately conceals it, I can't do anything about it.
Young master, if you want to inquire about the identity of this woman, you probably have to go to the eldest prince. "
"Why the eldest prince? Not someone else?"
"Because I saw it just now. After the First Prince saw this woman, his eyes lingered for a little longer, and his face seemed surprised. Come to think of it, the First Prince must know something."
"Forehead……"
"Master, when you meet someone, you must always pay attention to the eyes of the other person, you will get a lot of information."
"Okay, okay, thank you sir for teaching me." Li Xian was disturbed by a series of possibilities, so he walked away to rest.
The expo continued on the second day, and Li Xian took the opportunity to find the eldest prince—the prince took the initiative to find him last night, and Li Xian still wanted to pay a return visit. After sitting down, Li Xian took the initiative to speak: "His Royal Highness, is there anything Li Xian can do for you?"
"It's nothing. I want to hand over the business of Baofeng County to you."
"What?" Li Xian suddenly sat up straight in surprise. Baofeng County is the "government area" of the eldest prince - that is, the practice area. Baofeng County is adjacent to Chen State in the west, and close to Qi State in the southwest. Its area is also relatively large among the 12 counties of Daxia State. Because it is close to the two countries, commerce and so on are relatively prosperous.
Such a place, you want to give it to yourself? To be honest, Li Xian was a little happy; but after the joy, he had to figure it out. The eldest prince obviously wanted to form a gang and drag himself into trouble.
Do you want to participate?
No, it is not acceptable! Almost instantly, Li Xian made a decision; he should now cooperate with the emperor instead of investing in a prince or something.
"His Royal Highness, please forgive Li Xian for his inability to do anything. Even Anyang's business, etc., I have not been able to do a good job. I dare not make false remarks about the business of a county. When Li Xian feels confident, he may personally trouble His Royal Highness."
The prince smiled indifferently, "I know, I know, what I want is your words."
your sister! Li Xian cursed in his heart, cooperating with the young master and me to beat around the bush and calculate, but it has already fallen into the control of the other party.
Seeing Li Xian's stiff eyes, the prince smiled even more happily, "Li Xian, actually, what I want most is 100,000 looms. This Baofeng County is close to Chen State and Qi State, and it is most convenient to implement your plan." Business strategy. How about it, let's cooperate.
You sell the textile machine, and I provide raw materials, personnel, sales, etc., and the profit will be 30-70%. "
When Li Xian heard this, his nostrils were so angry that smoke came from his nostrils: Okay, you still want to be a white wolf with empty hands! Thirty-seven open, it must be me three you seven.
But Li Xian had already prepared, "Thank you for your kindness (greed), but this loom is not that difficult, it is mainly just an engine. With the talent in His Highness's hands, it is a trivial matter to make 100,000 engines.
But I was different. I only had a few ordinary craftsmen under my command, and I only made less than 300 looms in three months.
I dare not delay His Highness's business plan. "
The crown prince shook his head, "Li Xian, you are much smarter than before. Then I'll just say it straight. I've seen the textile machine you gave to the emperor. There are three things in it that I can't get. One is the bearing and the shaft. , and the other one is—Sea Soul Silk!
I also roughly calculated that if only one or two engines are produced, jade can be used to describe the formation; but if mass production is required, sea soul silk must be used.
Li Xian, I want to buy raw materials for 100,000 textile machines from you, including bearings, shafts and sea soul silk. Don't say you can't provide it. At your exposition, there may be special exhibition areas for shafts, bearings and sea soul silk. "
"His Royal Highness, Shengming. For the time being, we can provide 20,000 bearings and supporting spindles, as well as related sea soul silk per month. No more can be done. It's just... just... I promised His Majesty."
What Li Xian said was vague, he didn't say what he promised the emperor, but the meaning was already very clear—why should I sell it to you? After this industrial exhibition, the Great Xia Kingdom does not know how many bearings, shafts, and sea soul silk it will need. Among other things, bearings can be used in almost every industry, especially carriages. The market is as vast as the sea!
I don't want the eldest prince's next sentence to make Li Xianhua take the initiative and become passive, "I know the news about Miss Qing."
Li Xian's eyes immediately brightened.
The eldest prince took out an invitation card from his sleeve, "Tomorrow night, the palace will hold a dinner party for all the ministers. This is the invitation card for the women's family area in charge of the queen mother. It has the queen mother's seal. You are only allowed to enter by yourself, and no one else is allowed. "
With that said, the eldest prince glanced at Xu Ren behind Li Xian.
