Chapter 84: Be polite to others(2/3)
Therefore, the ministers and others took the initiative to send someone to invite this person over during a day when they were all free.
Good fellow, Your Majesty, you don’t know.
When he came to the palace for an appointment, he directly brought ten boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, and various rare treasures.
When I saw this situation, I was stunned on the spot."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled, raised his eyebrows, and threw the newly peeled melon seeds into his mouth with a smile.
"Hehehe, uncle, although there are indeed a lot of gold, silver, jewelry and various rare treasures in ten boxes, it won't make you stunned, right?"
Listening to Young Master Liu's slightly questioning tone, Zhang Kuang raised his glass and took a sip of wine, smiling gloomily a few times.
"Hehe, hehe, Your Majesty, I was not stunned by the gold and silver jewelry he gave me, but by the way he gave the gifts."
"Oh? What should I say?"
"Your Majesty, when someone gives a gift to someone, they don't do it secretly.
It was good for him. After he and his servants delivered the ten boxes of gifts to the ministers openly and honestly, he didn't care whether there were people from the imperial court of the Shiguo Kingdom or the patrolling palace guards, and asked his servants to put the ten boxes of gifts on the spot.
All the big boxes were opened.
Boy, all of a sudden.
It was a gleaming golden light, jewels and jewels, so dazzling that the eyes of everyone present were dazzled.
Your Majesty, let alone the fact that I have no intention of accepting these valuable gifts.
Even if I really want to accept these valuable gifts, if he does this, can I still accept them? Do I still dare to accept them?
I have been living for decades, and this is the first time we have seen someone giving gifts to others like this.
I have to say, this is an eye-opener for me and others."
"Hahaha, hahaha, interesting, interesting.
Uncle, what happens next?"
"When I saw this situation, of course I didn't dare to accept it.
Later, when I invited him to sit down for dinner, after three glasses of wine, we didn’t hesitate and asked him on the spot what his purpose was.”
Hearing Zhang Kuang get to the point, Liu Mingzhi gradually put away the smile on his face and his expression became serious.
"What did he say?"
"Your Majesty, Creech heard my question. After hesitating for a while, he told me the purpose of what he did.
He hopes that my brothers and others can come forward and take the lead for him and our Dalong caravan.
Then let me persuade all the caravans from our Dalong to sell all the goods from our Dalong Kingdom to him at a suitable price."
Liu Mingzhi briefly recalled what Crich had said to him at that time, and rolled his eyes thoughtfully.
"Uncle, this head shouldn't be in vain, right?"
"His Majesty, His Majesty, spoke of the key point at once.
Krich clearly told his ministers that as long as our Dalong caravan will sell all the goods from our Dalong Celestial Empire to him.
He can ensure that all of our Dalong caravans who are willing to sell goods to him can make money.
It's just a matter of earning more or earning less.
Moreover, this person is quite honest.
He told his ministers without any secret that if our Dalong caravan sold the goods to him, although it would make less money, it would save a lot of time.
With the time saved, our Dalong caravan can travel around the western countries and buy some rare goods that our Dalong side lacks.
In this way, the money that is missed can be quickly made up from other places.
As for those dragon caravans who are unwilling to sell their goods to him and plan to trade with the locals themselves, they may make more money, but they will be delayed a lot of time.
Earn less money and save most of your time.
To earn a little more money means to waste some time.
In the end, whether you earn it or transfer it is up to you to think about it.
These words are the exact words that Crich said to his ministers."
"Uncle, I still have the same problem. Isn't this head pulled for nothing?"
"Your Majesty, this head is indeed not in vain.
In order to thank his ministers, he was willing to divide the profits he gained with his ministers and the caravans who were willing to sell goods to him.
I will make 30% of the profit here, 20% will be given to our Dalong caravan, and the remaining 50% will be his own."
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, raised the wine bag in his hand and put it into his mouth.
After taking several large gulps of the wine, Mr. Liu laughed and took a long breath of wine.
"Hehehe, you are 30%, and our Dalong caravan is 20%.
He gave away 50% of his profits at once, this person is quite courageous."
Zhang Kuang listened to Young Master Liu's slightly surprised tone, and nodded with a serious look on his face.
"Your Majesty, you are right, this person is indeed very courageous.
When I first came here, I was also surprised by this man's courage.
It was then that we realized that this person was not only a thick-skinned man, but also a man of great courage and magnanimity.
I dare to tell the truth, if it weren't for the dragon caravans in our hands, they would all be caravans disguised by fellow spies.
I really want to cooperate with my brothers and others."
"So, you just rejected him directly?"
"Your Majesty, what else can I do if I don't refuse?
The things that I and other brothers are busy with here are all major military affairs. We can't really put down what we are doing to cooperate with them just because we want to make so much money, right?
If you delay some trivial matters, they will be delayed, and no loss will be caused.
A major military event cannot be delayed for even a moment."
"I second the proposal."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, smiled and took a few sips of wine.
"Uncle, uncle, what was Crich's reaction after you rejected him? Did he just give up?"
"Back to Your Majesty, after he was rejected by the ministers, he probably thought that the ministers were not satisfied with the benefits he distributed to us.
So, he told the ministers that he was willing to give up another 10% of the profits to the ministers.
We had no intention of cooperating with each other, so we rejected him again without hesitation."
"What happened next? He just gave up?"
"Your Majesty, he may have noticed that I really have no intention of cooperating with him.
Then he made the next best thing."
"Oh? What kind of request is it?"
"Back to Your Majesty, he is willing to provide a batch of silver and let me ensure that his several shops in the royal city will not be treated unfairly.
At the same time, when his shop is harassed by some local gangsters, the soldiers in the city can rush over immediately to help him resolve the dispute."
After hearing the arrogant answer, Liu Mingzhi nodded thoughtfully.
"Then do you agree?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I agree.
After all, ensuring the peace and stability of the city is originally the duty of ministers.
Since he is willing to provide a batch of money, it is just a matter of convenience for me to pay more attention to the stability of his shop.
All the money he took out was used by the ministers to supplement food for the soldiers who were training hard.
It’s the best of both worlds, why wouldn’t I do it?”
