That's 10,000 yuan, enough for them to have fun in Pingkangfang for a long time.
But in Li Yunze's case, it's only one percent?
You evil-hearted profiteer!
Because I was afraid that my legs would be broken when I got home, I could only pant and sulk.
The warrior Yu here was also lost in thought.
You invest too much, but get too little. And this business is very risky. If you go out and get nothing, you will really lose money to your grandma's house.
Li Yunze didn't push him, looked at Wu Hua and Wu Shun who were looking at him curiously, smiled and motioned to the fruit plate on the table, "Eat whatever you want, you're welcome."
Wu Shun is timid, shy and dare not move.
Wu Hua was very courageous. After hearing this, he curled up his crescent-like smiling eyes and reached out to eat the fruit.
It feels really good to eat fruits in winter.
It's not about the taste, it's about being able to eat things that others can't.
After pondering for a long time, the warrior Xun finally said, "Xianxian nephew, I only heard about this matter. Can you tell me in detail?"
"no problem."
Li Yunze said with a smile, "Does Duke Ying know the price of spices in Chang'an City? Those evil merchants have almost sold the spices for gold prices."
"I happen to know that there is an archipelago overseas that is covered with many spices. There are so many spices on the island that it is inexhaustible. The goal of this trip is to bring back tens of millions of kilograms of spices."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the Wu family suddenly changed.
If this is the case, you can get 10,000 jins of spices by paying 10,000 guan.
Judging from the price on the market at this time, the profit is more than several times higher!
Seeing the expressions on the faces of the Wu family, Li Yunze smiled lightly.
Greed, you are the biggest original sin in this world.
He could sell the noose for 300% of the profit, and he never doubted that any noble person could bear to fall into the urn.
Of course, Li Yunze is not a liar, and everything he says is true.
It's just that too much supply will cause prices to plummet, and profits will plummet, leading to a large-scale backlog that cannot be sold.
You will definitely suffer a big loss on your first trip back. After all, only wealthy families can afford to spend high prices.
With such an expensive price, no ordinary people would eat this.
If the market is too small and the supply volume is too large, you will certainly not be able to make money.
At that time, Li Yunze will take away the fleet and spice inventory by forcing him to repay the loan.
After that, the price is raised to a level that ordinary people can accept and consume on a large scale.
Of course, Li Yunze is not trying to trick you.
The first batch of goods will definitely be a loss, but you will have to go again later.
The Spice Islands are there, and there are countless spices on them. All you have to do is pick them one by one. If the number is large, you can naturally recover your capital and make profits, but it is not as huge as you thought at this time.
"If Mr. Ying is willing, I can lend him 10,000 yuan to invest in the stock. If there are any children in the family who are willing to go, they can bring at least a hundred people to pick spices as a group, and they can also take a 1% share."
Warrior Xun's eyes lit up: "That's very good."
The nobles naturally have their own plans. It is enough to follow them for the first time. As long as you remember the route, you can make money by yourself in the future.
Anyway, everyone is scheming against each other. It’s hard to say who is sorry for whom. Whoever suffers deserves it.
Li Yunze's real purpose was to inspire Kaihai to occupy the land in Nanyang, massacre the local barbarians to eliminate future troubles, and to destroy Hu merchants' spice business, while allowing the people of the Tang Dynasty to eat cheap spices.
Whether he makes money or not, he has this in abundance.
The two parties quickly discussed and decided that the warrior Xun borrowed 10,000 guan, and sent his second son Wu Yuanshuang to lead a hundred people to join the group. The total calculation was two shares, occupying 2% of the spice business.
As for the interest, it is based on the standard of the imperial court's official money, which is the so-called monthly material money.
What is the standard?
hundred percent!
That's right, it's 100%, which means that if you borrow 10,000 guan, you will have to return 20,000 guan after one year!
This is considered low, but for the private sector, it is even higher.
Of course, Li Yunze also stated that the interest will be calculated from the time he goes to sea, and he will definitely come back within a year. If he returns after the time is exceeded, or if he does not bring back hundreds of millions of kilograms of spices, let alone interest.
, all the money is gone.
Basically all the nobles involved in this matter chose this mode.
If he didn't pay the money himself, he would borrow it from Li Yunze, and then send someone out to follow him.
Their calculations are very clear, and if they succeed, there will be a lot of benefits. If they fail, they will not suffer any losses.
Honorable men are sometimes very shrewd, and their calculations are not bad at all.
However, compared to Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, it is far behind.
Because of Li Er's tacit approval, everyone can participate without having to bear any bad reputation.
Except for Wei Zheng, almost all the important ministers have joined, and they are very united. Those who are not the emperor's line are not given the chance to join.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, like other nobles, claimed that their families were poor and had no money, so naturally they could not afford ten thousand dollars.
However, they did not choose to borrow money from Li Yunze, but only arranged for their nephew to take people out to sea.
Apart from these two smart people, Changsun Wuji, who originally wanted to eat more and occupy more, was the only one who spent his own money. After being called to the palace to teach him a lesson, he also took the initiative to come to Li Yunze and expressed his intention to use the money he invested.
You have to be freed up to do other things. Just send manpower.
Pay money.
In fact, even Hou Junji hurried over and said that he would not lend money but would only send people.
Obviously, this was given guidance.
Changsun Wuji was pointed out, and Li Yunze could understand. After all, he was the brother of Queen Changsun.
But when Hou Junji thought about Hou Junji's daughter marrying Li Chengqian, he understood.
After discussing the matter, Li Yunze arranged a banquet to entertain the guests and entertained the guests enthusiastically.
The warrior Xun took the brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang to the stables. The news about the magic horse in Lijiazhuang had already spread throughout the Tang Dynasty.
When they came over to see it, it was really a magical horse. Just the giant horse in the stable with shoulders taller than a human was enough to shock them.
As for Wu Hua and Wu Shun, there were no female relatives in the mansion, so Li Yunze had to entertain them personally and took them to the greenhouse vegetable garden to pick vegetables.
Needless to say, we know that Samurai Yu did this on purpose.
"Uncle, what is this?" Wu Hua pointed at the purple eggplant with a curious look on his face.
"Don't call me uncle." Li Yunze was very depressed. It felt really unpleasant to be called uncle by Emperor Wu.
Wu Hua looked up and said, "What did I call you?"
"Forget it, let's just call him Uncle Li." Li Yunze shook his head, reached out to pick off the eggplant and threw it into the basket. "This is called eggplant. It's very delicious when cooked in oil. I'll take it to the kitchen to cook later."
"
"What about this?"
"This is called cucumber. It used to be called courgette. It's crisp and delicious. It can be used for cooking and can be eaten directly after washing."
He picked two cucumbers, washed them in a water tank, and handed them to the Wu Hua sisters. Li Yunze took them to pick two baskets of vegetables in the vegetable area.
After handing the vegetable basket to Zuo Hong to take to the kitchen, Li Yunze took the two sisters to the fruit area.
Pick a few strawberries, wash them and pass them over.
When the little teeth were bitten hard, the juice splashed out and was delicious and juicy. More importantly, the sweetness made Wu Hua and Wu Shundu smile.
"Try this." Li Yunze picked off another bunch of red grapes and handed them over, "Go and wash them in the water tank yourself."
Even the children of the Xungui family are very satisfied with the sweet fruits in winter.
Entering this greenhouse fruit area is like a monkey entering a peach orchard. You want to take a bite of everything you see.
When the two sisters finally calmed down, each holding a cantaloupe and happily chewing on it, Li Yunze breathed a sigh of relief, peeled a dragon fruit and ate it.
"Uncle Li."
Wu Hua spit out the fruit and looked up at him and asked, "You told Aye that you can get tens of millions of kilograms of spices back. Is it true?"
"Yeah." Li Yunze then responded, "Absolutely. If it's not enough, I will naturally make up for it."
Wu Hua followed up and asked, "If you bring back so many spices, can the people in Chang'an City eat them all?"
As soon as he said this, Li Yunze looked over in surprise.
Wu Hua's brother and I didn't see this, but a little girl actually saw it. This is really strange.
He simply squatted down and asked doubtfully, "How do you know you can't finish eating?"
"Aye used to ask the kitchen to use some spices only when entertaining guests, and only a little bit."
Wu Hua took out a handkerchief and wiped the red juice from the corner of Li Yunze's mouth. "Auntie once said that spices are very expensive. Houses of noble families only use them when entertaining guests, and ordinary people's homes cannot afford them."
The little girl's eyes were full of curiosity, "Uncle Li brought back tens of millions of kilograms of spices, how can he sell them?"
"Ha~~~"
Li Yunze laughed dumbly, "It's great that you can see things that neither Aye nor your brothers can see."
"They are dazzled by the money they make."
When Wu Hua smiled, his eyes were like crescent moons: "Why did Uncle Li trick so many people?"
Looking at Wu Shun who was confused and focused on eating melons, Li Yunze smiled slightly and explained, "A very important point in doing business is demand. In the current productivity of the Tang Dynasty, only food is in short supply. Ordinary
Food is available for everyone
so I chose scarce food.”
"I built a pasture to produce meat and milk. I built greenhouses and greenhouses to grow off-season vegetables. I dug ponds and raised fish, shrimps, crabs and turtles. As long as the price of these things is right, I basically don't have to worry about not being able to sell them."
"As for spices." Li Yunze paused for a moment, then thought for a moment and decided to make it clear to Wu Hua, "These things are luxury goods and are useful, but not necessary. I want the people of the Tang Dynasty to be able to afford them and live comfortably."
Lived better.”
Wu Hua nodded and asked, "Why do you want to trick Aye and the others?"
"It's not called a trap." Li Yunze explained seriously, "It's to give them an opportunity to do things for the people. After going through hardships and obstacles, tens of millions of kilograms of spices were transported back from overseas and supplied to the people of the Tang Dynasty at low prices so that the people could afford them.
Spice that you couldn’t smell in the past, this is
Good things, good things that made them famous."
"Besides, it's better to give them something to do than to eat, drink and have fun all day long."
Wu Hua thought thoughtfully, "Uncle Li, what is the demand you are talking about?"
"The productivity of the Tang Dynasty is too low. Basically everything is lacking. What seems to be no shortage are luxuries that ordinary people cannot afford. What I want to do is to satisfy the people of the Tang Dynasty as much as possible.
their needs, starting from eating, so that everyone can
If you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace."
Wu Hua thought quietly for a while, then grinned: "Uncle Li, you are really capable, let me be your student."
