After thinking about it, Miss Guan became a little obsessed, and with a rosy face, she picked up the abacus and calculated a channel: "The average daily profit of each machine is one and a half yuan. Based on one thousand and five hundred machines, two months and sixty days,
It is estimated that the profit can reach 13,500 taels. Even if there are not so many machines, a thousand taels cannot escape."
After the calculation, Mr. Li and Miss Guan faced each other and were speechless for a long time. Neither of them expected that they had calculated a huge profit beyond their imagination. Even if Li You did an inspection at this time, his monthly salary was only five dan, and the actual salary was one and a half dan.
With three taels and five cents of silver, the calculated profit is at least equivalent to Li You's salary for more than a hundred years.
Such an opportunity appeared in front of me...
With an income of ten times or more in two months, Li You took a deep breath in his heart. For the first time in decades of his life, he saw the powerful power of monopoly so intuitively. Sure enough, the saying that monopoly means huge profits is correct.
It couldn't be more correct. Even though the level is very low, it's just a county, but it would be great if he were the county magistrate...
Let’s talk about Miss Guan. She manages her family’s business, and her annual turnover is only about a thousand taels, and her profits are at most a few hundred. She has never seen transactions worth tens of thousands in a short period of time. Even she cannot remain calm and calm about this number.
Guan Xiuxiu put her hands on her chest, suppressed her turbulent thoughts, closed her eyes silently for a moment, and when she opened her eyes again, she regained her clarity and apologized: "I have lost my composure, as if I had a dream with my husband, but I still woke up early."
Well done."
Li You smiled proudly and said: "It may not be a dream. It is not impossible to marry raw silk as a husband! I was confused before and didn't know what to do, but now I am enlightened after hearing your words. Please help me to help my husband get this windfall.
Wouldn't it be wonderful for you and me to share the glory and live out the rest of our lives peacefully?"
Guan Xiuxiu did not agree, and said sternly: "Husband, you must not do this! Control wealth with power, and take advantage of power when power is insufficient, which is the way to bring disaster! The only people in this county who can have such power are Chen Zhixian and the government.
Your husband's power is not enough. If you force yourself to take action, you will have to go against the silk industry of this county. How can your husband withstand this big enemy? Even if you are lucky enough to succeed, you will not be able to defend it for a long time. Why do you have such unreasonable thoughts? Please don't do it.
Bewitched by huge profits!”
Li You disdainfully retorted: "Your daughter's family is just timid. If we were to become enemies of the whole county, I would not dare to come forward, but this is not necessarily the case. As I said before, the livelihood of small computer households in this county is difficult. If I
I bought raw silk in exchange for their silk and satin at a low price. Although it can't make them much money, it can help them survive without ruining their family and business. Otherwise, they won't even be able to get this bit of raw silk, so they still have to thank me. Why?
Will they become enemies? The only thing to worry about is ruining the good deeds of a few big households, but what can they do? Am I still afraid?"
He also said: "You said that I don't have enough power, and I admit that. But I don't want to rely entirely on myself and borrow power. I am sure to borrow the power of the county magistrate. Don't you also say that this county only has
Can Mr. Chen do it?"
Seeing that Li You was stubborn, Guan Xiuxiu continued to persuade with an anxious face: "Why is my husband so obsessed with money? Let me tell you what I say. Firstly, those big business owners are very wealthy and powerful. Secondly, since it is borrowing money,
, but you have to pay it back. If nothing else, when the Chen County magistrate expires and resigns, and there is no backer, how can your husband, who is left alone in the county, fight against these wealthy men with a net worth of millions? At that time, the dangers are unpredictable, and disasters will come to your family.
, It’s too late to regret it!”
"Hahahaha!" Li You raised his head and laughed.
But the eldest lady bit her teeth secretly, raised her eyebrows, stood up and swung her sleeves and scolded: "I thought that although my husband acted unruly, he was also a man who knew his duty, but now I know that you are blind and short-sighted.
I can't see the disaster, I can't see the money! I am so determined to go my own way and bring disaster to my family. I just feel that I have entrusted someone to me. Instead of being humiliated when the time comes, I wish I could just die quickly!"
Ah!? This sister even said the word "die", Li You jumped up in shock, the joke was too big...
He acted like that deliberately just now. Firstly, he wanted to tease Miss Guan to see the joke; secondly, he wanted to test Miss Guan's character. After all, he would entrust Miss Guan to run the business in the future. If he met a greedy woman, bad things would inevitably happen.
But can these reasons be stated straightforwardly...
"Sister Xiu, don't worry! You're right." Li You changed the subject again, talking about feelings instead of business. He took out the gift that he had almost forgotten, which was the round fan in the bag, and handed it to Miss Guan.
"It's a big gift with a lot of affection, so please accept it."
Guan Xiuxiu watched with cold eyes. Seeing how quickly Li You's attitude changed, she had some doubts in her heart. Could it be that her husband's attitude just now was just fake? But she pretended to be disdainful and said: "Can a small round fan be considered a great gift?"
Li You showed off: "I'm not boasting, even a broken cattail leaf fan can be sold for ten taels as long as I write my exclusive poem on it. Isn't this a big gift?"
Miss Guan took the round fan, but before she read the words on the fan, she suddenly thought of something and her expression changed greatly. "My husband gave me the round fan, what do you mean?"
Li You was confused when asked, "What do you mean? It's just a gift."
Miss Guan sneered and said: "The great scholar Li has read many poems and books, how can he not know the allusion of the autumn fan? Now August is about to enter autumn."
Li You was awakened by this statement. He, a time-traveling man, had forgotten to emulate the thinking of the ancients. He vaguely remembered that a concubine in the Han Dynasty fell out of favor and wrote a poem comparing herself to an abandoned round fan in autumn. Therefore, throughout the dynasties,
The autumn fan has become a synonym for an abandoned wife. I am so stubborn that I gave her a fan at the end of July... just thinking that I could write lyrics on the fan to show off...
"Oh, I was negligent. I never meant it. Sister Xiu, don't think too much." Li You didn't know how many times he changed the subject and said, "Look at the words and sentences above, they are written just for you. This is
Great gift. Don’t worry about the fan."
Miss Guan's face softened slightly, but when she heard the words, she remembered something again: "There is a sentence in your poem "Golden Pink" in the "Fifteen Southeastern States": "It's all worth it if you have sex with a guest in a prison basin, only a fan can live in the upper reaches. Giving a fan is not a mockery of a concubine."
body?"
There were so many accidents as a gift of a fan, and Li You didn't know who to scold. How could such an elegant thing, such as giving a fan as a gift, become twisted like this? He said helplessly: "That song has nothing to do with today.
It has nothing to do with you."
Guan Xiuxiu finally paid attention to the poem on the fan, read it and commented: "This doesn't look like my concubine. It is written to another rich lady. My husband took the wrong fan?"
"You misunderstood again. Poems are always a bit fictitious, not necessarily very realistic." Li You explained.
Miss Guan continued: "I have already passed my eighteenth birthday, and I remember that my husband is only seventeen? How can I be Miss Guan?"
Li You laughed and said, "Do you want to be called old?"
"When I was looking through the collection of flowers today, I also noticed that my husband's poems were all given to outsiders with little connection. It seems that he has never written to anyone close to him, so why did he give this poem to me? Could it be that I am an outsider?"
"What's the matter?" Li You didn't even notice this himself.
"Has that sister who lives in the county ever had one? Has Mrs. Liu ever had one? Has the most recent famous prostitute, Sister Li Mei, ever had one?"
How many other opinions do you have? Li You is speechless. It seems that Miss Guan has realized that she was just pretending to laugh at the joke. This is to make her petty. The reaction of the boudoir lady after being molested was indeed the same.
The coquettish and obsessive behavior of women in the entertainment scene is different... I teased myself first, and I can't blame others.
Seeing Li You's speechless look, Guan Xiuxiu felt a little regretful. She held a round fan in front of her chest and shook it in the air, saying: "Even if there are all kinds of problems, I still like this gift very much. Take it out."
My friends in the boudoir will definitely envy me. Thank you very much, husband. I was just angry at my husband for teasing me and deliberately acted meanly. I am here to apologize. Don’t blame me, husband." After saying this, Yingying bowed.
Li You didn't care and continued to discuss the business... If he couldn't do big business, he could always do small business. He could persuade the government to take charge of the matter, and he could manage it himself. For a 10% commission, he would have a thousand taels of silver, which was not a small amount.
