"Brother Li, these are all the plain yarns of our Luo family. Do you have enough of them?"
Luo Zhen pointed to the mountains of plain yarn piled in the warehouse.
Li Qi glanced at it and said, "How much money do these plain yarns cost?"
Luo Zhen waved his hand and called an accountant. The accountant flipped the abacus in his hand and said after a moment: "The total amount of plain yarn in the warehouse is two hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver."
"Is there nothing else besides these?" Li Qi asked.
Luo Zhendao: "Brother Li, don't you think it's enough?"
"Of course it's not enough. How can this be used?" Li Qi said and sighed, "Master Luo, could you please collect some more plain yarn for me?"
"Of course it's no problem, it's just..."
Before Luo Zhen could finish speaking, Li Qi took out a thick stack of banknotes: "Here are three hundred thousand taels..."
Seeing Li Qi casually taking out so much money, Luo Zhen couldn't help but be startled. He took the thick stack of banknotes and handed them to the cashier nearby.
The accountant took it over and looked at it carefully for a moment, then nodded.
"Master Luo, I'm sorry to bother you about this matter. Money is not an issue. I want as much plain yarn as I want." Li Qi said.
"Okay, I'll do what I can." Luo Zhen said.
After writing the paperwork, as soon as Li Qi left the warehouse, Luo Zhen got on the carriage and headed back home.
As soon as he arrived at Luofu, he rushed to his father's study without saying a word.
"How is it appropriate for a frizzy Cheng?" Luo Cheng said calmly while sitting on a chair with a book in his hand.
"Dad! That Li Qi...he..." Luo Zhen said out of breath, "He bought all the plain yarn!"
A trace of surprise flashed in Luo Cheng's eyes: "All the money was given?"
"Here you go, they're all banknotes from Baidu Counter Shop."
Luo Cheng put down the book in his hand thoughtfully, and at this moment a servant came in: "Master, a letter from Kyoto."
Luo Cheng took it over and opened the letter. After reading it, his expression changed.
"Dad?" Luo Zhen couldn't help shouting.
"That Li Qi really didn't lie to you!"
"Are you saying that the palace really wants to acquire Susha?"
"good!"
"Then now we..."
Luo Chengdao: "Of course Ma will terminate the contract with that Li Qi and return the money to him."
"Ah? But we have already signed a contract. If we break the contract, we will have to compensate him fifty thousand taels..."
"What's fifty thousand taels?" Luo Cheng snorted coldly, "As long as we monopolize the plain yarn business this time, and we sell it to the palace at ten times the price later, a mere fifty thousand taels is nothing."
"ten times?"
"That's right. In previous years, as long as it was something the palace needed, wasn't it purchased at more than ten times the market price?" Luo Cheng said, "There are various links involved. Everyone wants to make a profit, so the higher the price is naturally.
The better.”
Luo Zhen nodded as if he understood: "Then I will go find Li Qi now?"
"Don't worry, if you go to him now, you will only alert him. If he makes him angry, the news may leak out. You should stabilize him first and delay him for a while," Luo Cheng said.
"Okay, Father!"
…
"Sir, why did you buy so much plain yarn?"
Tang Yun has basically been following Li Qi these days, and has always been a little puzzled by Li Qi's wanton acquisition of Su Sha.
Li Qi smiled and said, "Of course it's to make money."
"But can you sell it if you buy so much plain yarn?"
"Don't worry, after a while, if you want to buy plain yarn in Suzhou, you may not be able to buy it."
Tang Yun was still a little puzzled, but seeing that Li Qi looked confident, she didn't think much about it anymore.
Maybe the young master really has a way to sell it...
When they arrived at Miao's cloth store, Li Qi and Tang Yun saw Miao Qingyi as soon as they entered.
"Shopkeeper Miao."
"Master Li, you are here." Miao Qingyi greeted him with a smile.
"How's business these days?"
"Thanks to Mr. Li, it's not bad."
"Have you found the store I asked you to find for me?"
"Find it."
"Take me over there and have a look."
"OK."
Miao Qingyi took Li Qi to a store with a good location. It was originally a jewelry store, but due to poor management, it had to close down now.
Li Qi walked in and looked around and said, "This store is not bad. How much does it cost?"
Miao Qingyi returned: "I have already negotiated, the total is 8,000 taels, and there is a small yard at the back, which is a good deal."
"Well, eight thousand taels isn't too expensive. Okay, it's here." Li Qi took out a 10,000 tael silver note and handed it over, "Shopkeeper Miao, I'm sorry to bother you."
"What are you talking about, Mr. Li? If you hadn't helped me deal with that batch of ready-made clothes, I'm afraid I would be..."
When talking about this matter, Miao Qingyi felt a little incredible.
I thought that the batch of ready-made clothes I made would fall into my hands, but who would have thought that Luo Shi actually agreed to use those ready-made clothes to pay off the debt, and not only that, but also gave the craftsmanship fee to Miao Qingyi.
Not only did this business not lose money, it actually made money.
The reason why this happens is all due to the contribution of Mr. Li in front of me.
He seems to really have the power to turn decay into something magical.
When Li Qi felt that he had thrown away more than 300,000 yuan, how could they take it to heart that Luo Shi was only spending 10,000 taels in order to stabilize himself.
Besides, Li Qi has also seen the batch of clothes made by Miao Qingyi, and the quality is quite good in all aspects.
Roche has so many branches in Sioux City, and the ready-made clothes can be sold at any time without losing money.
"Sanniang and I are friends, and you are Sanniang's adopted sister. Naturally, I cannot just sit back and ignore you. There is no need to say such polite words in the future." Li Qi said with a smile.
Miao Qingyi bowed slightly: "I hope you will stop calling me Shopkeeper Miao. You can just call me Qingyi like Third Sister."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Okay, Qingyi, can you help me find some carpenters? I want to decorate the shop and make a plaque."
"I wonder what kind of store you want to open?"
"It can't be called a store, it's just an institution."
"mechanism?"
Li Qi nodded: "It's the kind of person who lends money to others...how do you say it in your words?"
"Qianzhuang." Miao Qingyi replied with a smile.
"Yes, yes, Qianzhuang."
"Has the young master thought of a name?"
"I've thought about it." Li Qi pursed his lips and said, "Let's call it Su City Credit Union."
"Credit union?"
"Yes, credit union."
Miao Qingyi looked confused, and Tang Yun on the side also didn't understand what this credit union was.
Since we want to kill the rich and give to the poor, we naturally have to find ways to put money from the rich into the hands of the poor.
But how you pay it is important. If you pay it directly, it won't solve the fundamental problem at all.
The only way is to lend money to the poor, encourage them to start businesses, and let them make money from the rich. Only in this way can healthy development be achieved.
And Li Qi has also thought about it. When the time comes, the money he borrows will be a huge profit just by collecting interest!
