Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 4 The Emperor's Suite
Emperor Ganwu: "..."

Gao Dali: "..."

Well, it sounds like it really makes a lot of sense.

If it weren't for the special status of the two of them, I have to admit that other people really listened to this fool.

It is foreseeable that many people will buy it.

Emperor Ganwu really wanted to catch Li Changfeng's ears, but he used his name indiscriminately to do things like this.

But it's not easy to reveal his identity, and the tea is indeed very good, this kid still has a bit of a business mind.

Li Changfeng said: "Your Excellency, how about it? If you are willing to buy on a large scale, this prince can make the decision and give you a favorable discount. You can buy two thousand boxes for 10 taels, which is equivalent to 50 taels a box, which is very affordable. The prince can also set up a few advertising slogans for you."

"Advertising slogan?" Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali realized that they had touched their own blind spots of knowledge again. What kind of thing is this?

"That's right, the advertising slogan is a way of promoting tea to the outside world, so that others can know the benefits of Xiaoyucha and sell it more easily."

Li Changfeng smiled slightly, and said slowly: "For example: Born for innovation, came for subversion, eight dean-level palace tea masters gathered six major tea categories, used special-grade raw materials, traditional craftsmanship, and went through 36 steps to jointly create A master-level imperial tea."

"One box, one brew, eight famous teas, satisfying various tastes and preferences. The hand-made teas have been hand-made by palace masters for thousands of years, showing the essence of tea. Master-level big dry high-end small imperial teas are your choice of taste."

"One tea, one box, one brew, enjoy a comfortable life, make a lot of high-end good tea Xiaoyucha, created by the palace tea masters with painstaking efforts, showing the essence of traditional famous tea, a good tea made with heart - Xiaoyucha .”

"Little royal tea after dinner, it's better than the emperor's house."

Emperor Ganwu and Gao Dali's eyes lit up when they heard this, the slogan is really a second.

As Li Changfeng said, people who can afford a box of 66 taels of small royal tea are either rich or expensive. Generally speaking, they don’t necessarily believe it.

However, according to the advertising slogan, the content of the copywriting is really exquisite, which attracted many princes and nobles, not to mention the six characters of the palace tea master, combined together, it makes people want to buy it.

Emperor Qianwu gritted his teeth secretly, and immediately said: "Your Highness Ninth Prince, I am willing to buy it. But you also know that it is dangerous to go out, and the two of us dare not bring so much money with us, only 5000 taels."

I don't want the child to be trapped by wolves, and if I don't spend some money, I won't be able to ask how those evil beasts outside the city were wiped out later.

In the worst case, just use your own internal funds. In the past two years, the world has become more peaceful, and some internal funds have been accumulated, and it is not a loss at all to take the little imperial tea back to the capital and resell it later.

The advertising slogan of this Little Royal Tea can even fool me, let alone other people, it will definitely sell.

It's just that 10 taels is impossible. Even if he is an emperor, his internal funds don't add up to 10 taels. Where did the 5 taels come from?

When he heard that the big deal of 10 taels had been negotiated like this, Li Changfeng was also taken aback. At first, he thought that the two Xiazhou businessmen who were suspected of secretly visiting the inspectors would bargain hard and do the same. Well, I was prepared to be bargained, but I didn't expect the other party to agree directly.

My dear, after the discount, it costs 50 taels a box. Are all merchants in Xiazhou so rich?
Could it be, aren't they really secret inspection officials?
Li Changfeng didn't doubt that the two of them only brought 5000 taels with them. Now the world seems to be peaceful on the surface, but in fact it is still very chaotic. Isn't it a death penalty to bring so much money to go out?

He waved his hand and said generously: "It's okay, 5000 taels is fine, just treat it as a deposit. And considering the long distance, it will take at least a month to go back and forth, Lao Li. It's been a long time since I finished the money, so why not take a loan with us first, the interest is very low, and the monthly interest is only three cents. Oh, that is to say, the monthly interest for every ten thousand taels is only 3000 taels, and now There is also a discount for handling, with a one-month interest-free period.”

Although the interest rate is so much as three cents, it is simply a blood-sucking usury, but in this era, it is a big conscience.

You must know that the interest of Daqian private lending is frighteningly high. It is often higher than the principal. It can be said that if you borrow 1 taels, the interest that needs to be repaid is several times higher than the principal. All abound.

In the past ten years, Li Changfeng had no choice but to carry out loan services in order to rapidly develop the business of Baishi City. He sold products such as Xiaoyucha developed by Baishi City to various places, often only charging a small part of the deposit, and the rest was given in the form of loans. Those merchants sell it through peddlers.

In this way, more products can be sold and more money can be earned.

Of course, this is actually just a change of left hand to right hand. There is no loan for a dollar or two at all, and the cost price of the product does not exceed half of the deposit at most.

Such as Xiaoyucha, which is so well publicized, but in fact, the cost price plus the brocade box outside does not exceed two taels. Those teas are just one tael and you can buy more than ten catties of ordinary tea, but they are roasted by special methods. , so it is extraordinarily fragrant.

That is to say, the gilt brocade box is more expensive, accounting for most of the cost. It needs one or two more, but it can be sold to dealers for a small box of 50 taels.

This time, even if we only charged 5000 taels, it would be a big profit, and the cost price should not exceed 2000 taels.

Moreover, Li Changfeng was not afraid at all that those businessmen would dare to owe money and not pay back, not to mention that he was the Ninth Prince and had his back to the royal family, any businessman would dare to deceive him.

What's more, I still have many means to pursue responsibility.

It was thanks to the launch of this loan service that Baishi City was able to develop to where it is today in just ten years.

loan?

Emperor Ganwu and Gao Dali were taken aback. They didn't expect that there was a loan in this little Baishi City, and it was only at such a low interest rate. It was a conscience.

Immediately, Emperor Qianwu signed the pseudonym 'Li Qian' under the loan contract drafted by Master Baishicheng.

"Come, come, Lao Li, Lao Gao, you take this contract, face the camera, oh, that's the thing and smile. Yes, come, one, two, three, eggplant~"

Under Li Changfeng's command, Emperor Ganwu and Gao Dali each grabbed one side of the contract, and smiled 'eggplant' towards a special square box.

Behind, Zhao Yong pressed the shutter.

A dazzling light flashed, and Gao Dali was taken aback. He had never seen such a thing before, and hurriedly stood in front of Emperor Ganwu, panicked and said: "There are assassins, Your Majesty...you should go!"

Emperor Qianwu also subconsciously took precautions, looking like he was ready for battle.

Li Changfeng waved his hands casually: "You two, don't panic, there is no moment here. This is a camera, that is, something for taking pictures."

"camera?"

Emperor Ganwu and Gao Dali looked at each other, very dazed.

Li Changfeng did not explain, and accepted the deposit of 5000 taels and the contract with satisfaction. The more he saw the two, the more he liked them, and he said happily: "You two, we have a happy cooperation. As the host, I kindly invite you to try the special food here. Service. Heaven and Earth is the best place in the whole Daqian, much better than Bada Hutong in Beijing, where there is the only pole dancing performance in the world."

Although I don't know what pole dancing is, but what good things can there be in the performance in the brothel.

Emperor Ganwu hastily waved his hand: "Thank you, Your Highness Ninth Prince, for your kindness."

"That's such a pity." Li Changfeng sighed with regret, and was about to say something, when suddenly, an earth-shattering loud noise exploded, startling everyone.

Emperor Ganwu and Gao Dali were startled and suspicious, they looked out the window, and clearly saw a big sun overhead, there was no cloud in the sky, where did the thunderbolt come from?
At this moment, a servant hurried up and said out of breath, "It's not good, Your Highness, there was an accident during the artillery test at the Scientific Research Institute."

Hearing this, Li Changfeng's expression changed: "Damn it, why did something unexpected happen, take me there quickly."

But as if he remembered something, Li Changfeng smiled apologetically at Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali: "Lao Li, Lao Gao, I'm sorry, but my highness suddenly has something urgent to do, so I won't entertain you in person. Lao Zhao, please greet the two of you." distinguished guest."

After saying a word, the person hastily ran out.

Emperor Ganwu and Gao Dali looked at each other. Obviously, the thunder from the blue sky just now should be related to the so-called experimental artillery accident that Li Changfeng said.

But, what is a cannon?
Emperor Ganwu looked at Zhao Yong who was greeting him, and stepped forward to ask: "Master Zhao, Xiaomin is curious, what happened just now? Why did you hear such a loud noise all of a sudden?"

Zhao Yong didn't answer directly, but laughed and said, "I don't know about this officer. Two distinguished guests, why don't I ask Mommy to call some beautiful ones to accompany you?"

"No need, no need."

The two even refused.

"Okay, then I will take the two of you to the Peace Hotel to rest for a while, and arrange other programs in the evening." Zhao Yong said.

"Very good."

The two came all the way to Baishi City, and felt a little hungry, just in time for a meal.

Along the bustling Central Avenue, they came to a five-story building in the center of the city. Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali looked at the extraordinarily magnificent Peace Hotel, and said with emotion: "Baishi City is really prosperous. Even the restaurant is so grand, I haven't seen a few such grand restaurants in the capital."

At this time, a government official sent over and whispered something in Zhao Yong's ear, and Zhao Yong had no choice but to plead guilty and leave: "You two, don't worry, I have to leave first if I am in a hurry. By the way, this is our Baishi City. The best inn in the entire barren state, the two of you can stay here tonight."

After speaking, he hurriedly left with the guards.

Entering the Peace Hotel, Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali looked at the empty restaurant on the first floor without any customers, so they looked at the shopkeeper suspiciously: "Shopkeeper, isn't this the center of the city? Why doesn't anyone come to drink and eat? "

The shopkeeper has long since realized the strangeness, and said with a smile: "You two guests, you can tell that they are from other places. Now it is not the meal time, and our Peace Hotel is only open at three time slots: Chen time, noon time, and You time."

Emperor Qianwu held back his hungry stomach, and asked in doubt: "Why do we separate the three time slots, instead of opening all day?"

The shopkeeper said: "This is requested by His Highness the Ninth Prince. His Highness said that the Peace Hotel is the first five-star hotel in Baishi City, so as a five-star hotel, it must have a corresponding high-end style. Oh, the two guest officials may not know that the star rating is a concept proposed by His Highness. The inn is divided according to the star rating. The more high-end inn, the higher the star rating, and the Peace Hotel is the only five-star hotel. "

Sure enough, it was Xiao Jiu who did it again.

The corner of Emperor Ganwu's mouth twitched, and he said directly to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, arrange the best guest room for me."

The shopkeeper smiled brightly: "The guest officer really knows the goods. It just so happens that the emperor's suite is vacant tonight. Please pay 880 eight taels."

Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali were dumbfounded.

880 eight two one night?
Grab money!
Gao Dali immediately said angrily: "880 August [-] night, isn't this a money grab?"

Even the Tianzi No. [-] room in the famous inns in the capital is not so expensive.

The shopkeeper gave Gao Dali a strange look: "This guest officer is joking, how can you get so much money by stealing money?"

Emperor Ganwu: "..."

Gao Dali: "..."

It makes sense, they have nothing to say.
