Lin Xuan returned to Liulice and originally wanted to ask Li Fuzhu how many units he had sold, but seeing that Li Fuzhu was extremely busy, he did not bother him.
Lin Xuan and Cheng Chuliang came to Keyun Tower. He said before that he wanted Cheng Chuliang to treat him, which was just a joke. He was here to congratulate him, so how could he be so embarrassed to invite them.
"Brother Lin, let me toast you." Cheng Chuliang said, holding up his wine glass.
Lin Xuan smiled, raised his glass and said, "We are all friends, don't say disrespectful or disrespectful, just feel free to do it."
Cheng Chuliang scratched his head and said, "What about Princess Qinghe?"
"Don't worry, after a while, I will invite Princess Changle out for an outing and ask her to bring Princess Qinghe with her." Lin Xuan said.
Cheng Chuliang said excitedly: "Stop saying anything, come on, do it!"
Lin Xuan finished the wine in the glass and said: "I have to go to Liulic Pavilion when I get down, so I won't drink. You can do whatever you want."
On the first day Liuli Pavilion opened, he would definitely have to watch it.
Cheng Chuliang didn't care, probably because he would be able to see Princess Qinghe in a while, and he drank happily alone.
By the time the meal was finished, Cheng Chuliang was already drunk.
Lin Xuan asked Liu Da to call Cheng Chuliang's entourage and send Cheng Chuliang home. He went to Liuli Pavilion himself.
Because it was noon, there were not many guests in Liulic Pavilion.
Lin Xuan went directly to the third floor and asked someone to call Li Fuzhu up.
"Young man, I've met Mr. Hou!"
"Sit down!"
After Li Fuzhu sat down, Lin Xuan asked: "How was it? How much did it sell?"
"Master Hou, a total of eight sets have been sold, and the collection has been 21,200 yuan. There are still many people who have expressed their intention to buy, but they have never sent any money." Li Fuzhu said.
On average, a set of the colored glazes on the first floor of the Liulic Pavilion costs around 2,000 guan.
Those people say they want to buy it, but they may not agree when they go home.
And some may still be raising money now because they don’t have so much cash at home.
"Has the one on the second floor been sold?" Lin Xuan asked.
The real big deal is still on the second floor. The cheapest one is priced at 2,888 guan by Lin Xuan, and the most expensive one is sold for 5,888 guan.
As long as you sell a few pieces, you can easily earn ten thousand to twenty thousand guan.
Li Fuzhu shook his head and said: "No, although many people are tempted, they are still frightened by the high price. Mr. Hou, can you lower the price?"
He was worried that if he couldn't sell any of them, Lin Xuan would think he was incompetent.
Lin Xuan shook his head and said confidently: "If it doesn't go down, then at this price, we won't lose a penny."
It's just the first day of business, and you lower the price. What will others think?
Since the price can be reduced once, will the price be reduced later?
They are all waiting for the price to drop and sell his glass to ghosts.
Those people from the aristocratic families haven't come yet. He prepared all those ornaments for the aristocratic families.
"I understand, little one!" Li Fuzhu responded.
He is just a shopkeeper, he only needs to do as he is told.
"You arrange for people to send those return gifts there. Don't send them to the prince yet. Send the horse on the third floor to the East Palace tomorrow." Lin Xuan ordered.
Those who send congratulatory gifts must definitely need a gift in return.
These have been prepared before, and are a set of six colored glass cups.
"Yes! Mr. Hou, we have collected more than 20,000 guan now, and there will definitely be more in the afternoon. Isn't it unsafe to store this money in the store? And the store's warehouse can only store 100,000 guan at most. According to the current situation,
Look, it’s full in just two days." Li Fuzhu said worriedly.
"It's okay. This is Dongshi. There are Zhijinwu patrolling day and night. No one dares to mess around. I will ask someone to take him away tomorrow," Lin Xuan said.
To be honest, it only weighs several kilograms and is very difficult to use.
But there is also an advantage to being heavy, that is, if you leave it there and let people steal it, you won't be able to take much away.
"Yes! I wonder if the Marquis has any other instructions. If not, I'm going to be busy." Li Fuzhu asked.
"Go and do your work. I'll stay here in the afternoon. If there's anything you can't handle, come to me upstairs." Lin Xuan said.
…
"I see your Majesty!"
Lin Xuan didn't know whether Li Shimin came to him suddenly to ask about the situation in Liulic Pavilion or about Li Tai. Therefore, he didn't speak after the salute.
"The Liulic Pavilion has been open for a long time, how is the business?" Li Shimin asked.
Lin Xuan said: "Your Majesty, I have been in business for half a day and have already made more than 20,000 yuan."
"So many?" Li Shimin was a little surprised.
Last year, the entire Tang Dynasty was in a mess, and the annual income was only more than 30 million yuan.
A Liuli Pavilion can earn more than 20,000 yuan in half a day. In a year, wouldn't it be almost the same as the income of the entire Tang Dynasty?
Li Shimin suddenly felt that giving Lin Xuan 40% was too much.
Seeing Li Shimin's expression, Lin Xuan felt something bad, and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, I will make more in the early stage. After a while, I will buy almost everything I need to buy, and I won't make so much money."
Li Shimin calmed down and thought carefully, it seemed that this was really the case.
Generally, those who buy colored glaze must be so precious that they are reluctant to use it. It is definitely impossible to buy them all the time.
"Is it possible that this Liuli can only make money for a while?" Li Shimin asked unhappily.
Just now he was thinking about how to spend the money he made, and then Lin Xuan told him that he would not be able to make so much money in the future, which made him very depressed.
"Your Majesty, in addition to selling in the Tang Dynasty, you can also sell it to foreign countries. When the Tang Dynasty and surrounding countries are saturated, you can also sell it at a lower price. Although you will make less money by then, it will still be very profitable if the quantity is large." Lin
Xuan explained.
Li Shimin nodded and asked, "How much money can Liuli make in a year?"
Lin Xuan thought for a while and said: "In the first year, there should be about 20 million guan. In the future, it should not be less than 10 million guan every year."
Li Shimin calculated in his mind that he could divide the 20 million guan into 12 million guan.
Even if it decreases in the future, it will still be 6 million dollars per year.
The important thing is that all this money goes into his small treasury and he can spend it as he wants.
If you want to build a palace, build a palace, and you no longer have to worry about Wei Zheng criticizing him.
However, Li Shimin was a little worried when he thought that Lin Xuan could distribute nearly 10 million guan in the first year, and then there would be several million guan every year in the future.
Lin Xuan looked at Li Shimin's face. He was happy for a while and frowned for a while. He couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Your Majesty, I didn't know Liuli was making so much money before. I intend to give all of Liuli's income to Your Majesty." Lin Xuanyi said righteously.
He was worried that if he didn't speak, when Li Shimin spoke, he wouldn't be able to distinguish him at all.
He believed that he gave up on his own initiative, and Li Shimin was too embarrassed not to give him any money.
As for how much to give, it depends on how dark Lao Li is.
"Cough cough cough!"
Li Shimin cleared his throat and said: "The Tang Dynasty is indeed short of money. I accept your offer, but it's not appropriate to give it all to me. Let's do this, you get 10%."
Even Li Shimin thought it was a bit too much.
But he thought of Lin Xuan's magic and was worried that it would dampen his enthusiasm, so he gave Lin Xuan 10%.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lin Xuan was quite satisfied, although he was a little unhappy because he could only get 10% of what he had made, and he had to thank Li Shimin.
But this was the case in ancient times. Greater power and more money would arouse the suspicion of those in power.
If he didn't do this, he would either wait for Li Shimin to find a way to kill him, or rebel.
Lin Xuan has never thought about rebellion, not to mention whether he has a chance to succeed. Even if he succeeds, so what. Being a wise king is too tiring, and being a faint king is easy to die.
"Is there anything I need to do in Liuli Pavilion?" Li Shimin asked.
Liuli Pavilion is his cash cow, and Li Shimin is very interested in it now.
"Your Majesty, there is a lot of money stored in Liuli Pavilion, and Liuli is very valuable. I am worried that someone will take action against Liuli Pavilion." Lin Xuan said.
Although money is hard to steal, you can steal glass.
Li Shimin had already regarded Liuli Pavilion as his personal property, and immediately said: "I will tell Li Junxian to send people to patrol around Liuli Pavilion day and night, and send some people to guard it secretly. Don't worry."
"That's no problem. If your Majesty has nothing to do, I will leave first." Lin Xuan said.
Although he took the initiative to ask for it, Lin Xuan was still very heartbroken when he thought that a lot of money was just gone. He didn't want to stay in the palace for a moment anymore.
"Wait a minute, is Qingque trying to get Liuli Pavilion?" Li Shimin asked.
Lin Xuan felt that this was the purpose of Li Shimin coming to him.
"Your Majesty, it's true." Lin Xuan didn't know what Li Shimin was thinking, so he didn't dare to say more.
"How much does he want?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.
"Eighty percent."
"Okay, I understand, he will not go back again. You go back first." Li Shimin said.
