Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 148 Royal Industries Corporation
Zhu Youxiao walked up to the two of them slowly, patted them on the shoulders and said: "If you two run the Royal Industrial Company, I won't let you work for nothing. You Gong Yonggu is already the captain-in-law. I will take the vacant position of the right servant of the household department; I will take charge of the Royal Industrial Company for me. In addition to the annual salary, I will give you one-twentieth share of the Royal Industrial Company, and your own property will also be included in the tenth How about taking a share?

Chen Lingtou, your family didn’t have much money before, and I don’t want you to use money to invest in shares. You can invest in technology. How about half of the share compared to Concubine Gong? In addition, on the basis of your review by the Imperial Academy, add a member of the household department Uiro's official title. "

Gong Yonggu has been dazzled since he came in and saw the bright and beautiful big silver mirror. He thought to himself that if His Majesty asked him to sell this thing, he would definitely make a lot of money, but he didn't expect that His Majesty really gave it to him.

Gong Yonggu was so happy for a while that he didn't know what to say.

It's just that his business worth more than [-] yuan is also included in the shares, which makes Gong Yonggu a little bit reluctant, but thinking that he will be a royal businessman in the future, the profit should be only a lot more, and he is still happy in his heart, so he nodded Said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, I will deal with this matter after I return."

Technology stake?Chen Laitou was also a little silly when he heard this word, but after a little thought, he realized that His Majesty meant that his glass-making skills could be divided into money from this workshop called Royal Industrial Company.

Chen Laitou, who half understands, still doesn't know whether to be happy or disappointed, because His Majesty has never rewarded himself with silver, and he still remembers that old man Li won the Apocalypse-style flintlock when he first issued it. A lot of silver rewards, and the grade has also been promoted to the fifth rank. Now His Majesty has not only not rewarded himself with silver, but has also promoted himself as an official.

However, when he heard that Zhu Youxiao asked him to take the official title of a member of the household department, he smiled and thanked him.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao said to Gong Yonggu again: "In the future, the key to whether the Royal Industrial Company will make money or not is not me. That's great, so you can't despise others just because you are the captain-in-law, do you understand?"

"I understand." Gong Yonggu naturally knew that the key to these businesses lies in the work of the craftsmen. After nodding, he said: "Your Majesty, since you want to do business, you have to choose the ground. From the point of view of my humble minister, it is located in East Chang'an of Daming Gate." On the street, there are many merchants coming and going, and it is close to the place where the dignitaries live, our main business is to sell to merchants, and then sell some of the best to the officials and gentlemen in Beijing."

"You decide on your own. How much start-up capital is needed? You can go to Wang Chengen and get it from my own money first." As soon as Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, Gong Yonggu bowed first and said: "Your Majesty has given this to me. How can I ask for your Majesty's money when you are so rich? I heard from the people in the palace that it is not easy for you, Your Majesty, so let me advance the first sum of money by myself. And I have estimated that it does not need much money. , [-] is enough, and I promise to use [-] silver to make millions of transactions."

Chen Manitou couldn't help looking at the son-in-law. Although he didn't understand business, he was not stupid, and he didn't believe that anyone could use [-] silver to make a business worth millions. Maybe he got drunk and made a fool of himself, and started talking big in front of His Majesty.

Zhu Youxiao also showed surprise on his face. He was sure that these glass and silver mirrors could make money, but he was also a little curious about Gong Yonggu's saying that he would make millions of taels for 1 taels, so he asked with a smile. Said: "Really, in front of me, don't lie."

"I dare not make mistakes in front of Your Majesty, what you say is true, if you can't do it, Your Majesty can just take the head of the humble minister."

After Gong Yonggu said swearingly, Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then asked them to retreat and start preparing for the opening of the glass factory of Royal Industries Corporation after a few more words.

As soon as Gong Yonggu and Chen Laitou came out of the palace, they began to prepare for the establishment of the glass factory of the Royal Industrial Company.

Chen Leitou has fully mastered the process and technology of manufacturing glass and silver mirrors, but the biggest problem now is that there are not enough craftsmen, because once the business is started, the required quantity will definitely be large, so Chen Leitou came back Immediately after that, he went to the Royal Academy of Engineering to gather the craftsmen of his team, and went to the technical school affiliated to the Royal Academy of Engineering to recruit apprentices. At the same time, he had to establish the address of the workshop. Solid out.

But Gong Yonggu not only paid the money, but also immediately sold his property trustee, and went to East Chang'an Street to choose the factory site and storefront.

In the early morning of this day, Gong Yonggu sent someone to carry a sedan chair to invite Chen Maotou to his mansion. It was the first time that Chen Maotou was invited by such a royal family member, and it caused quite a commotion in the common people's street where he lived. .

When Chen Maotou arrived at Gong Yonggu's son-in-law's mansion, Gong Yonggu told him that the store had been selected, and he was waiting for Chen Maotou to make glass and silver mirrors. In the mirror, Gong Yonggu said that he did not know, and said to Chen Laitou:

"To do business in the capital, you must first establish a good relationship with these dignitaries in the capital, so let's not rush to make it now. No one knows how many glass and silver mirrors will be needed. We have to go to various places first. The rich and powerful come to visit."

"Visit?" Chen Laitou didn't quite understand the meaning of Gong Yonggu, but he remembered that it was his son-in-law Gong Yonggu who praised Haikou in front of His Majesty, not himself. , then asked casually, and said: "There are a lot of big and small dignitaries in the capital, and it is impossible to visit them all. If this is the case, how long will it take to start this business?" .”

"Of course we can't visit them one by one, but the following families have to be taken care of. One is the chief inspector of ceremonies, the prince. This prince is the head of all the officials in the inner court. If we want to open up the situation in this capital, we must have the support of the inner court. The second is Wei Ge, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Cui Shangshu, the official. They are in charge of the foreign court, and they have to clear up. The third is the prince of Shuntian Mansion. , this business will be done easily.”

Hearing what Gong Yonggu said, Chen Laitou also felt that it was reasonable, nodded and said: "These gentlemen will naturally have to pay a visit, we are doing things for His Majesty, and they will not be too embarrassing, the most important thing for us now is How many glass and silver mirrors are made before the reservation is made, and the price must be fixed first, so that you can sell it directly. Don’t forget, my son-in-law, you are boasting in front of your majesty that Haikou will use 1 taels to make millions of mirrors. For sale."

Gong Yonggu couldn't help laughing: "Chen Hanlin, my son-in-law will tell you the truth, I have already spent 1 taels."

"What!" Chen Laitou looked at Gong Yonggu in astonishment, but Gong Yonggu smiled indifferently: "It cost me 400 taels for you to recruit apprentices, pay advance wages to craftsmen, and buy land. I spent more than 1000 taels to recruit cleaners and buy storefronts, and the remaining 2000 taels were bought as gifts for Mr. Wei Ge.”

As he said that, Gong Yonggu asked someone to bring up the gift, and said: "Wei Ge is good at painting, and this authentic work of Song Dynasty Fan Kuan's "Traveling in Streams and Mountains" that I got with 2000 taels may also be able to enter the pavilion. It's my eyes."

Chen Laitou didn't understand why this son-in-law Gong did this, and he really couldn't believe that the son-in-law spent half of the 1 taels to do these things, and he was still so calm.

Here, Zhu Youxiao was also very surprised when he heard about it, and asked Wu Jin of Dongchang: "What else did this Concubine Gong do besides giving a Song painting to Chen Laitou?"

"Nothing, Concubine Gong just asked Chen Laitou to take this painting and choose a more delicate silver mirror to attend the wedding of the seventh concubine of Wei Ge Laona," Wu Jin replied.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing, and asked: "I remember that the censor impeached Mr. Wei Ge for marrying a concubine. Can you find out when Mr. Wei married?"

"I found out, it's the third day of April," Wu Jin replied.

"Okay, the third day of April, just a few days ago, passed the decree to Wei Guangwei, I want Weifu to attend his wedding, so that he will not let it go out, but I am not allowed to hold the wedding in a low-key manner just because I am a concubine. Light, put on the position of the chief assistant," Zhu Youxiao immediately commanded Wu Jin.

Wu Jin answered "Yes!" and exited the Qianqing Palace.

And at this time, Xiao Huangmen came in and asked Wen Tiren, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, to hand over a sign to see him.
