The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1411 Rare Minerals

"So that's how it is! Duan Shangshu wants to give it to you, of course. Let's do it this way, you can count it as a preferential price. The street lights in the Daming Palace cost a total of [-] million yuan. The design and production of neon lights, and the price of power supply are still [-] million yuan. The total price is [-] million. Two hundred million, what do you think?"

He said so.Duan Lun's jaw dropped in shock.

I thought that Li Yin would collect some money as a token, so forget it.

But he never thought that he would open his mouth like a lion, and the amount he opened was [-] million.

You must know that although the imperial treasury is relatively full now.

The amount of tax revenue is also constantly rising, but the money can't stand such a toss.

If this continues, within a few days, the national treasury will be short again.

In the past three years, the treasury has been hovering between full and short.

Regarding Li Yin's request, not to mention whether Li Shimin disagreed with it, but on his own side, he also felt the deep pressure.

What can be done?What can I do?
If Li Yin doesn't let go, then if he wants it, why don't he come?

So he asked again: "Sir, there are other ways. I mean, is there a way to use less money, or use less money?"

other methods?This is exactly the way Li Yin wanted.

He first gave the other party an impossible task, and then made an achievable request.

If the other party is not stupid, they will directly agree to the request.

This is the human mind.

Li Yin saw that the time had come.

So he said: "There are other ways. And this way doesn't cost money, and the court may receive money! It depends on whether you agree or not."

Now speaking, as long as it doesn't have anything to do with spending money.

What's more, will you still charge money?

He must have said yes.

Do you want money?If you want other things, you can still get them.

"Sir, please speak!"

Li Yin didn't even think about it, and said directly: "I want the right to exploit minerals within [-] miles of Chang'an. The time limit is ten years."

Minerals within five hundred miles of Chang'an?
That's not small.

"What? Mining rights for minerals within five hundred miles?"

"Yes! It is the right to mine minerals, the exclusive right to mine. Exclusive!"

Duan Lun didn't know why Li Yin wanted such things as mining rights.

But he thought to himself, this must be related to the income of the group.

Duan Lun said again: "Then I may have to tell His Majesty about this! See if he agrees or not!"

Yes, the one to choose is Li Shimin.

Everything has to listen to Li Shimin's meaning.

Before that, I still have to ask clearly, otherwise when I get to Li Shimin, if I don't understand, I may have to run back and forth.

"By the way, what exactly is the mining right mentioned by the gentleman? Can you tell me about it? Let me have a clear idea in my heart! I can also talk about it with Your Majesty!"

"It's very simple. The iron mines, copper mines, and other mining rights within [-] miles around Chang'an are owned by Shengtang Group, but although the mining rights belong to me, we don't take them from the imperial court for nothing. The price of these minerals will be settled at the market price. It will be rotated every ten years. What do you think?"

He knew that if he wanted a lifetime mining right, it would be absolutely impossible.

These minerals want not to get a penny.

That is even more impossible, Li Shimin will not agree, after all, it is like the current iron ore, copper ore and gold mines.

They are all very valuable.

These things are all money, ten years of mining rights, if you give him money according to the market price, the total amount has exceeded [-] million.

It's even more than a few billion.

Others said that Li Shimin refused to agree, and it was difficult for Duan Lun to do so.

That's why Li Yin would say such a thing.

Two hundred million in exchange for ten years of mining rights, this business seems to be possible.

The imperial court didn't have to bother to manage these so-called minerals.

The Shengtang Group can use all its strength to mine.

Mining good minerals, especially some much-needed rare ones.

As for the poor minerals to be discarded directly, there is no need to spend money on them.

I can get the best quality minerals through screening, and I have an absolute say in the supply, and I can mine as much as I want.

That's really great, and this is Li Yin's truest thought.

Duan Lun can't decide for himself right now.

So, he said, "Okay then, I'll go back and ask His Majesty what's going on?"

"I think you should decide for yourself!" Li Yin forced Duan Lun to make a decision.

This matter must be fast and cannot be delayed.

"Why? Sir!"

"Because I'm going out in the afternoon, and I'll be back in about three days!"

As for whether it is three days or not, that is another matter.

The purpose is to give the other party a sense of urgency.

"what?"

So, there is not much time for Duan Lun.

"If you decide quickly, I can arrange it in the shortest time. If you want to go back to him, I may go out at that time. Do you understand?"

This is forcing Duan Lun to decide.

It is also because Li Yin wants, and is very urgent, to obtain the right to exploit minerals.

There are still many things I want in the future.

Not just iron ore.

There are also some other kinds of minerals.

Some minerals that now seem to be worthless at all.

These things will be in short supply in the future.

Then Li Yin will make a lot of money.

Those things are more expensive than iron, copper and gold.

What can gold do besides being an asset jewelry?
But some metals can do something different.

Metals such as ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum are extremely important materials in the future, and palladium is the most important metal for the aviation industry.

No one knows these things, only Li Yin himself understands.

For this, he is bound to win.

Therefore, Duan Lun was forced to make a decision.

"gentlemen……"

"You decide for yourself, I'm going out in a while!"

Li Min said again.

He didn't act like he was in a hurry.

Duan Lun thought for a long time.

Finally, a decision was made.

"Okay, sir, deal!"

Li Yan smiled happily.

That being said, it's settled.

"Then sign the contract, and I'll have someone prepare street lights and neon lights. And here is the design drawing of the neon lights, take a look! You can let him see it!"

Li Yin quickly drew the style of neon lights on the paper.

He knew that Li Shimin would definitely like this blueprint once it came out.
And even if the blueprint was given to him, he couldn't make it.

Therefore, he wasn't worried about the drawing being taken away at all.

"Yes, sir!"

"Then sign the contract!"

Li Yin made a contract.

He wrote it in less than 5 minutes.

Duan Lun who was on the side was stunned.

This kind of literary talent is really powerful.

"Sign it!"

"Yes, sir!" Duan Lun signed directly.

At this time, he had no choice.

In the end, Duan Lun could only return to Daming Palace with anxiety.

This time, after seeing Li Shimin, he was quite shocked by his performance.
