Just because it's good now doesn't mean it will be good in the future. It's always good to prepare for a rainy day. What if the prince puts his own shoes on after taking office?
What if all your money is taken away?
Shen Ao was never a passive person to be beaten, especially after experiencing Wei Qian'er's rebellion and giving him a second life, he became more careful in this regard. But in this feudal dynasty and hereditary world, how to fight against it? Prince?
Immigrate?
Don't look at it as a joke. Let's not mention that there is absolutely no change in this. Let's just say that Shen Ao has a very serious ethnic background in his bones. After he was born as a Han, he died as a ghost of the Han, and he will never do anything sorry. The affairs of the Han people, let alone staying away from Han soil.
Even if he can't leave or escape, he has no choice but to face it. He still has to face it proactively. Only when he takes the initiative can he turn his passivity into an initiative. In order to survive, he doesn't even rule out the possibility of rising up, but now It's far from reaching that point.
What we really have to do now is to accumulate our own energy and save enough capital. Is it shocking enough for the slap-sized Japan of later generations to challenge the polar bear-like Russia? Many contemporary historians once attributed Japan's victory in the Russo-Japanese War to Meiji Restoration, technological innovation, etc., these are all correct. But people often forget one important factor, and that is: the power of capital, the role behind it. At that time, Japan's wealth was far stronger than some The so-called big country.
They all say that having money makes things easier. Some even say that having money can make the mill go round. Shen Ao believes that having money can make the mill go round.
The uses and functions of money are often beyond the imagination of many people.
Shen Ao needs a lot of money to ensure his own interests and safety. Cooperation with Su Xun is a very important step. The two of them are in Guochanglong's courtyard room, and Shen Ao is using his smooth tongue. And he has great oratory skills to communicate with Su Xun.
"Mr. Su, you are now a supreme member of Guochanglong, and you are still the first supreme member. Thank you for your support. I hope you can be aware of some of your own rights and interests."
"First of all, after becoming a supreme member, you can buy fifty bags of iodized salt at Guochanglongzhong at a 20% discount every day, which weighs ten kilograms. No matter how big the Su mansion is and how populous it is, it cannot be digested. The excess can be sold at your own price. I believe that with the ability of the Su family, they will definitely make a lot of money."
"Not bad." Su Xun stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction.
Don't think that he really spent ten million taels of silver to get a supreme membership on impulse. That is something only a young boy would do. If there is not enough profit, even if he likes Shen Ao's paintings , and it won’t cost such a big price. With this money, he can definitely spend money to find someone to paint, and I believe few people can refuse.
But he still agreed without hesitation, which naturally included his own personal considerations. What he valued was Guochanglong's promise to participate in the investment dividends, and what he valued was Guochanglong's future prospects.
With silver in his hands, he has become the king of gold and silver bracelets in the entire Daqian Dynasty. This does not satisfy Su Xun. On the contrary, it will only arouse his greater ambition. The reason why he has not made any moves is just because he is cautious. Personality, it’s just because I haven’t found a suitable industry for investment.
During this period, Guochanglong's development and the speed of making money were deeply attracted to him. After observation, he found that all the changes in Guochanglong originated from the little bastard little prince who had a bad reputation. Although he couldn't figure out, a Why people change so much is not a question that he needs to consider at all. He only values the other party's ability, which is enough to bring him a steady stream of money and profits.
After all, Su Xun had already thought about coming to Guochanglong in person, but today's opportunity was more suitable, so he appeared here. Now listening to Shen Ao's introduction, Su Xun, who had known all this for a long time, still pretended to be He looked like he just figured it out, this is the cunning point of the fox.
He also wanted to take this opportunity to observe Shen Ao's ability up close and see what other amazing words he could say next.
Su Xun smiled and nodded from time to time, as if he had been persuaded. Shen Ao didn't take it seriously. He had talked to too many smart people, and he had already developed the habit of not ignoring or looking down on anyone. It's anyone's habit. Because once you relax, you don't know who will suddenly bite you. He has been so cautious all his life, didn't he fall for Wei Qian'er's tricks in the end?
Facts have proved that there is no such thing as being most careful, only being more careful, and you will never go wrong.
Without the slightest hint of contempt, Shen Ao continued to preach: "Not only that, after becoming a supreme member, once Guochanglong's new products appear, you will also have the first right to purchase them, and the quantity will also be guaranteed."
"Very good." Su Xun still nodded with a smile, with encouragement in her eyes, as if she was saying to Shen Ao, "What else, continue?"
Of course Shen Ao would say that, because the next step was the most important thing in his conversation. "Also, congratulations to Mr. Su, you have the right to participate in the investment and profit sharing of Guochanglong's new products."
"Here we come." Su Xun thought to himself, and his expression became much more serious. "Can you explain it in detail?"
"Of course there is no problem." Seeing that Su Xun didn't care much on the surface, but in fact he was already a little nervous. Even Shen Ao could feel the nervous heartbeat of the other party. He also smiled in his heart. Is the old fox finally taking the bait?
Shen Ao is not afraid that Su Xun has ideas. What he is afraid of is that the other party has no ideas. But he can make the business so big. He believes that Su Xun is not a simple person, especially his business intuition must not be too bad. Now it seems That is indeed the case.
"Mr. Su, the so-called participation investment rights and profit sharing rights mean that when Guochanglong is about to release a new product, before the product has been formed, it will allow you to join in the research stage and make simple arrangements for you. Introduction, you can invest as long as you are interested. Once the product is launched and benefits are obtained, the Su family can get a share of your benefits."
This explanation is basically similar to what Su Xun had imagined before, so he was not surprised at all. What he is concerned about now is when will Guochanglong launch new products? In just two months, goat milk soap, soap, perfume and Iodized salt, I think it won’t be too late for the next product to appear.
Ordinarily, this is a business secret, and Shen Ao can refuse to answer. But this is the first in-depth conversation after all. Hiding it will only cause cracks in the relationship between the two parties, which is what Shen Ao does not want to see. I think. You always have to pay to get something. Shen Ao just hesitated for a moment and then said: "Mr. Su is really smart. You are right. Now Guochanglong is already developing new products. It's just that the progress of this thing is good. I'm afraid Anyone who wants to invest will be too late."
Shen Ao had no intention of hiding anything, which made Su Xun feel his sincerity. However, when he thought that the product was already in the testing stage, he was somewhat disappointed. After all, he did not catch up with this opportunity.
As if knowing that Su Xun would be disappointed, Shen Ao said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Su, don't be anxious, Guochanglong's new products will not only have a few, but dozens, or even hundreds, as long as If you are willing, there will always be opportunities. By the way, given that Guo Changlong is the only royal merchant in the Daqian Dynasty after all, and the emperor and the eldest princess are involved in this, he cannot have the final say on many things, so even if there are new products, We may not allow other people to participate in the shares, everything will have to be decided based on whether it is suitable."
There are a lot of secrets hidden in this sentence. The general idea is that whether the Su family can be allowed to take a share of it depends on Shen Ao's attitude in the end. He considers you a friend, so the natural advantage is that you are indispensable, but if If he doesn't like you, I'm sorry, just watch him eat meat and drink soup.
Su Xun heard these somewhat threatening words, but he didn't take it seriously. Again, if you want to get something, you have to pay first. Su Xun has enough confidence in himself and the Su family, and he is willing to If you make Shen Ao a friend and are willing to be the other party's partner, he will show his sincerity enough in the future.
Both parties were satisfied with this first in-depth conversation. Su Xun saw Shen Ao's ambition. Not only was he not worried, but he was very supportive because he was an ambitious person.
Shen Ao saw Su Xun's calmness and decided that this was a good partner. As long as the other party showed enough sincerity, their relationship might get closer and one day he could pull the Su family into his own chariot. Going up, while increasing one's own strength, it also makes interested people fearful of oneself, which is equivalent to more safety guarantees.
Everyone was happy, and Su Xun still had a satisfied smile on his face when he left the Guochanglong store. Back in the mansion, he ate delicacies made with iodized salt, and ate an extra bowl of rice, confirming to the outside world that iodized salt was It is indeed a better conclusion than the magic effect of table salt.
Su Xun was satisfied. Although he paid 10 million taels of silver, he got a lot of money. From the current point of view, the goal of becoming famous and establishing himself was at least achieved. In contrast, some people were not happy, such as His Highness the Crown Prince has always been interested in Guo Changlong.
East Palace.
The prince's face was like the sky before a heavy rain, gloomy and terrifying.
Standing opposite him were Zeng Tong, Duan Wei, and Fu Ma Lu Shun. At this time, they all lowered their heads and looked deep in thought. In fact, they just didn't want to look at the prince's face, which led to scolding. .
Guochanglong suddenly launched a membership card system, which was unexpected for them.
