He was just saying that, but this kid Zhao Chen just said something to him to the point of death.
He didn't even know how to answer the call.
I could only look at Zhao Chen bitterly.
"Hey, Old Li Tou, let's do a business together." Zhao Chen said to Li Shimin with a smile.
"What business?" Old Li Tou suddenly became alert.
Will Zhao Chen take the initiative to do business with him?
When Zhao Chen didn't know that he was the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Old Li Tou still thought it was possible.
But now!
He didn't believe it at all.
As soon as Zhao Chen told him about the business cooperation, Li Shimin naturally thought that Zhao Chen wanted to deceive him.
If he could make money, would Zhao Chen think of him?
impossible!
However, he still had to ask!
"I asked Changsun Pushe and the prince to get the approval for sand and gravel mining today. I think they can get it."
"But you also know that I spent a lot of money building this road, right? Now I can't get the money out of it."
"I heard that you still have about 400,000 yuan in your private treasury, right? Why don't you take it all and invest it in mining sand and gravel." Zhao Chen said to Li Shimin with a smile.
Old Li Tou was stupid at that time.
Good guy, Zhao Chen dares to say that he has no money. To build a road, he spent at most 150,000 yuan.
But he also won the hearts of the people, didn’t he?
Moreover, a mere 150,000 yuan, what does it mean to Zhao Chen?
Is he a man without money?
No, Zhao Chen is rich.
He has much more money than the emperor himself.
Now this shameless person dares to reach into his own private treasury.
unacceptable!
"You're dreaming!" Old Li Tou immediately stood up and shouted to Zhao Chen.
The money in his private treasury was saved by Old Li Tou through frugality.
It's impossible, absolutely impossible for him to take it out!
Seeing the emperor so excited, Empress Changsun also smiled and shook her head.
In the past few years, the emperor was really crazy about giving money.
At that time, even rats in private warehouses could starve to death.
This also made the emperor value his private treasury more than anything else.
Zhao Chen asking the emperor to take out the money from his private treasury is no different than asking for the emperor's life.
"Hey, don't say such absolute words yet—"
"I said, it's impossible, I will never use private money!" Before Zhao Chen could speak, Old Li Tou emphasized again.
"Auntie, why don't you help me collect some money? I'm telling you, we are building roads and houses with cement now, and they will start to work soon."
"When the time comes, many people will definitely want this sand and gravel."
"Now we just spend some money to mine it in advance, and if we make a little bit of money casually, it will be quite a lot."
"According to my estimation, if we collect 50,000 guan, we can probably earn 50,000 guan, and if we collect 500,000 guan, we can probably earn 500,000 guan." Zhao Chen looked at Empress Changsun, which actually meant to Li Shimin.
Listen.
Li Shimin felt a little moved when he heard that he could earn so much.
He was afraid of poverty, but he just wanted to keep more money in his hands.
When I heard Zhao Chen say that he could earn so much, he naturally felt very itchy.
The ears also stood up.
Zhao Chen did not look at Li Shimin, but continued to talk to Empress Changsun: "Look, aunt, you only need to invest a sum of money in it, and you don't have to run it."
"You can get money back every month."
"Isn't it uncomfortable to sit at home and collect money?"
"To be honest, if I didn't have enough money of my own, I really wouldn't want to divide half of such a huge profit!"
"Then how much should I invest?" Queen Changsun looked at the emperor and said to Zhao Chen.
"Originally, it was only 400,000 guan, but since Lao Litou is not willing, let's reduce the size and invest 40,000 guan. It's still profitable to make less. Anyway, take your time!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.
.
Li Shimin's face was turned away, with a somewhat tangled look on his face.
With such a high profit, he was really excited.
If he really made that much money, wouldn't his private treasury be doubled?
"Anyway, when we make money, some people just don't say I won't take him!"
"But it's okay. What matters in business is courage. I don't think Lao Li Tou's courage is that good. He might as well be Huang Zhi who collects tolls at Chongdemen!"
"If you fart, will I be inferior to a small businessman?"
"Isn't it just money? I have plenty, and I can give it to you, but if you make it impossible for me to get the money back, I will peel off your skin."
Zhao Chen was scolding Old Li Tou from the sidelines, which immediately angered Old Li Tou.
At that time, Lao Li Tou jumped on his feet and shouted to Zhao Chen.
"How much do you want to invest?" Zhao Chen smiled, not caring what Old Li Tou said just now.
"Four hundred thousand yuan, all my savings!" Old Li Tou shouted.
"Okay, sign and pledge it!" Zhao Chen took out a written contract from his arms and slapped it on the table.
From afar, Li Ruoshuang came over immediately with pen and ink in hand.
Li Shimin was stunned at that time.
He always felt that Zhao Chen had been designing him early on.
After taking a look at the contents of the contract, even the amount of investment was clearly marked - 400,000 yuan!
Good guy, Zhao Chen prepared this contract from the beginning.
"Old Li Tou, what you just said was not a lie, right?" Zhao Chen patted the contract on the table and said with a smile.
"If I keep my word, will I be like you, full of lies?" Old Li took a deep breath, but there was nothing he could do.
Having said these cruel words, can I still regret it as an emperor?
After signing his name on the contract and throwing away the brush, Old Li sat down on the stone bench with an angry head.
"Okay, okay, in two days, I will have someone go to the palace to get the money!" Zhao Chen put the contract into his arms with a smile.
Old Li Tou was already furious at this time.
Looking at Zhao Chen, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have not asked Zhao Chen clearly how much he was prepared to invest.
He paid 400,000 yuan, why should Zhao Chen pay the same amount?
"That boy Zhao, how much did you invest in mining sand and gravel?" Li Shimin pondered for a moment, then asked worriedly.
Queen Changsun also raised her head and looked at Zhao Chen.
Secretly thinking that if Zhao Chen is so active, he must have invested more in it!
"This...actually 400,000 yuan is enough, there is no need to invest anything else..."
"What did you say?" Li Shimin's face turned dark immediately.
What does Zhao Chen mean?
Was he the one who took advantage of this and invested 400,000 yuan?
Li Shimin took a deep breath, held back the anger that was about to burst out, forced out a smile, and asked: "Then, does all this profit belong to me?"
"Old Litou, you don't have a fever, do you?"
"The contract is clearly written in black and white, and the profits will be shared equally between you and me!"
"But you didn't pay even a cent. All the money was paid by me alone. Why did you take half of the money?" Lao Li exhaled heavily.
Empress Changsun felt that the emperor's beard was standing up.
"Didn't I take the risk of being resented by the prince and help you get the approval document?" Zhao Chen's righteous words rang in the ears of the emperor and the empress.
