Just when Li Qi was busy pushing Susha's matter to a peak, Zhuo Kunyu suddenly found him.
Li Qi didn't dislike Prince Jiang's head guard either.
After all, the two of them can be said to have been in the same boat.
"Brother Zhuo, you are such a rare visitor. Why did you come to see me when you had time?" Li Qi asked with a smile.
After Zhuo Kunyu entered the house, he closed the door, sat down at the table mysteriously, and took out a brocade box.
"What is this?" Li Qi asked, looking at the exquisite brocade box.
"Alas." Zhuo Kunyu sighed, "This is the luminous cup that Yu Bozuo collected from the Western Regions."
I saw him taking out a pair of exquisite cups from the brocade box.
This cup has a unique shape and is green all over. It is really beautiful.
Even Li Qi, who is used to seeing all kinds of modern craftsmanship, couldn't help but admire: "It's so exquisite."
Zhuo Kunyu said: "This pair of luminous cups has a great background and is unique."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details." Li Qi poured a cup of tea for Zhuo Kunyu.
"More than a hundred years ago, there was a Kashi country in the Western Regions. They had a very beautiful princess. Once at her birthday party, someone gave her a pair of luminous cups. It is said that these luminous cups were the most powerful in their country at that time.
The craftsmen took ten years to complete..."
While listening, Li Qi couldn't help but hold it in his hand and look at it.
Why is this Zhuo Kunyu talking so much to me?
Could it be that he wanted to give me this luminous cup?
"Brother Zhuo, why did you come to me?"
Zhuo Kunyu pursed his lips, glanced at the luminous cup and said, "I came here to ask you, brother, to help me find a way to sell this luminous cup."
"Sold?"
Zhuo Kunyu nodded: "Not bad."
"Brother Zhuo, why do you want to sell this wonderful luminous cup?"
Zhuo Kunyu looked embarrassed and said: "Brother Li, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. I have a younger brother who is now an official in Kyoto. He spent a lot of money on promotion in the past few days..."
Hearing this, Li Qi said with a look of sudden realization: "I see. I wonder how much money Brother Zhuo still needs now?"
Zhuo Kunyu smiled bitterly and said: "Three hundred thousand taels."
Li Qi was stunned for a moment when he heard this number.
There was a lot of money stolen from Yu Bo's family before. Li Qi received 500,000 taels, while Zhuo Kunyu received at least more than 400,000 taels.
How long has it been? This guy is done.
It seems that it is not easy to be an official in Kyoto...
"If Brother Zhuo had come to see me earlier, I would have been able to get the three hundred thousand taels, but my expenses have been too high recently and I don't have much money on hand," Li Qi said.
Zhuo Kunyu said: "Brother Li, that's not what I meant... I came to you this time just to ask you to help me find a way."
Zhuo Kunyu has been with Prince Jiang these days, and he often hears Prince Jiang praise Li Qi.
It was precisely because of this that he wanted to come over and ask Li Qi for help.
"There is no way out," Li Qi said, "But Brother Zhuo, you have to tell me the current market price of these luminous cups first."
"I asked someone, this pair of luminous cups can now be sold for about 80,000 taels..."
"Eighty thousand taels?"
Grandma, you used something worth only 80,000 taels and asked me to help you get 300,000 taels. Why don’t you grab it?
Seeing that Li Qi was uncertain, Zhuo Kunyu hurriedly said: "I know there is some Meng Lang, but my brother is now at a critical moment in Kyoto, and I really have no choice, so..."
As the saying goes, adding icing on the cake is worse than providing timely assistance.
I helped Zhuo Kunyu this time, letting him owe me a favor, and maybe he would need it in the future.
"Since Brother Zhuo has come to see me, it proves that I respect you." Li Qi cupped his hands and said, "I will help Brother Zhuo accomplish this matter."
Zhuo Kunyu was startled: "Brother Li said this..."
"Once a word is made, it is hard to follow. Brother Zhuo, just wait for my good news."
Li Qi looked confident, and Zhuo Kunyu gritted his teeth and said, "If Brother Li helps me accomplish this, if there is any need for me in the future, just ask."
"Brother Zhuo, there is no need to be so polite. We are all brothers, and we should help each other." Li Qi said with a smile.
As soon as Zhuo Kunyu left, Li Qi found Jiang Yuzhu.
This princess likes to hang out outside every day and has nothing to do all day long. Her only two hobbies are listening to storytelling and boating.
After this period of contact, she and Li Qi can be considered friends.
As for her identity as the princess, she was not stupid, and she knew that Li Qi should know about it, but neither of them mentioned it, so it didn't matter.
"I heard that you have set up a credit union these days? What is it for?" Jiang Yuzhu asked with interest.
Li Qi smiled and said: "It's just a bank that lends money to others and makes money by collecting interest."
"How's business?"
"Just so-so."
"If you really want to do business, I have a few good businesses that I can introduce to you."
Li Qi raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Tell me."
"As for the Tan Wenbai you met last time, his family is in the jade business. As long as I talk to him, you can open a jade shop in Suzhou City." Jiang Yuzhu said, "I saw it last time.
A piece of broken stone was sold for tens of thousands of taels, and many people were rushing to get it."
"You said that Tan Wenbai's family is in the jade business?" Li Qi asked with a turn of his eyes.
Jiang Yuzhu nodded and said with a smile: "What? Are you excited?"
"What's the use of this heartbeat? This jade shop won't be able to open in a short while. But, there is something I want to do with you."
"What's up?"
"Invite that Tan Wenbai out to dinner."
"That's it?" Jiang Yuzhu asked with a frown.
Li Qi nodded.
"I thought it was such a big deal? Isn't this just a matter of my words?"
Jiang Yuzhu said something and suddenly thought of something again, and asked, "Why are you asking Tan Wenbai out for dinner?"
"I have something I want him to help with." Li Qi said, "You have to speak for me when the time comes."
"Speak for you?" Jiang Yuzhu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the benefit?"
"What benefit do you want?"
"Well..." Jiang Yuzhu pondered for a moment and said, "I haven't thought of it yet, but I can owe it first."
Li Qi said: "Okay, no problem, just go and make an appointment."
"Is it necessary for me to come forward in person to make an appointment with him? I'll just ask a servant to come over later." Jiang Yuzhu said, "What exactly do you want him to help you with?"
The corners of Li Qi's mouth raised slightly and he said, "You will know when the time comes."
