Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 552: The King and His Subjects
Chapter 552: The King and His Ministers Trade

"Seventy percent?"

Mr. Hu shouted in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

He pointed at his nose and said unhappily.

"Your Majesty, are you mistaken?"

"I was the one who set this up from the beginning to the end, and I was in charge of it afterwards, but in the end I can only take 30%?"

Master Hu cried out for injustice loudly, as if he had suffered a great loss.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care at all. Instead, he curled his lips in annoyance.

"Alright, alright, stop being so ungrateful!"

"What happened to Qicheng?"

"If someone else wants to do business with me, 90% of the time they'll give it to me, and I won't even bother to pay any attention to them!"

"Humph, you're the only one who can use my reputation to do business openly!"

"Then we'll take 70% from you, what's wrong with that?"

When Mr. Hu heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, his face changed immediately.

The aggrieved look on his face disappeared in an instant, and instead he nodded calmly.

"Oh, that's how it is!"

"Then... 70% is 70%!"

"Alas, you are the emperor, so I am fine with a little loss!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless when he saw Master Hu nodding and admitting his crime shamelessly even though he was clearly exposed, and then turning around and saying that he had suffered a loss.

Although I know that for officials, shamelessness is a first-class basic skill.

But aren’t Mr. Hu’s basic skills a little too good?
Mr. Hu thought it was normal.

In my previous life, I had to bargain and negotiate with clients too many times.

This is nothing.

Want face?

We are here to make money, brother, why do you need to have a face?
You don’t even have the courage to bargain, and you still have the nerve to stand up and say you want to make money?

However, although the final decision was a 70-30 split, Mr. Hu was actually quite satisfied with it.

It seems that after Lao Zhu came in, he took away 70% of the profits, which is simply insane.

But in fact, let’s not talk about the biggest benefit. Of course, with the endorsement of Emperor Zhu, the Ming Dynasty can be sold at will from top to bottom, inside and out.

After all, Mr. Hu might not be able to handle it for his reputation, but if Old Zhu were to be involved, then it would be a matter of who wants to come and die.

Do you really think that anyone can lay their hands on the property of the king and his ministers?

In addition to this benefit, the second benefit is that Lao Zhu's joining has actually broadened the channel.

Don't think that Lao Zhu means to do nothing except to gain fame.

But in fact, this means opening all official channels to Mr. Hu.

It’s impossible that any government office would dare to refuse the deal between Old Zhu and him, right?
Then, with the channels of all government offices, we can sell it wherever we want.

As for the last benefit.

That means that Mr. Hu’s money was completely laundered.

Just think about it, if he didn't have this bright future with Lao Zhu, he wouldn't dare to spend lavishly even if he earned money.

Because they must have thought that he had done something that was hated by God and people, and even imagined all kinds of crimes.

After all, with Lao Zhu's extremely shallow business knowledge, in his opinion, making money means taking food from farmers and ordinary people.

Oh, maybe there are also corruption, abuse of power, bribery and corruption!
Anyway, in Lao Zhu's worldview, anyone who can make a lot of money is definitely doing bad things.

Therefore, if Lao Zhu knew that he had money, and a large amount of money, he would probably jump up and down and curse. Rather than getting into all kinds of trouble, it is better to put things out in the open from the beginning.

We all make money together, but you earn more than me.

Then when the time comes I'll spend the money and you won't have anything to say.

By then, not only will Zhu Yuanzhang stop complaining to him, but even the imperial censors will probably not dare to fart.

Of course, if there really is an ignorant censor who wants to step forward and try to improve his reputation, Master Hu is not afraid.

I will find a way to deal with these people.

The most troublesome issue of interest division has been settled, which means that the purpose of Mr. Hu's visit to the palace today has actually been achieved.

He was also a person who couldn't sit still. When he saw that the work was done, he immediately said goodbye and left.

Old Zhu was somewhat reluctant to leave.

After all, it is so interesting to chat with Master Hu. You can laugh, get angry or scold him, and Master Hu will always pick up your conversation and prevent you from dropping any words.

But now that Mr. Hu has already divided the profits, how could he be willing to stay here to "accompany clients"?

Look, he just turned around and said goodbye and left. There was no way to stop him.

After leaving the imperial palace, Master Hu thought for a moment and simply turned around and headed straight for the Foreign Diplomatic Department.

After all, people have to have rights.

Now that you are in your own territory, the treatment will naturally be different.

Starting from the front door, all the officials were so polite.

After all, Mr. Hu might be a big shot to other government offices, so even if they can't afford to offend him, they can afford to avoid him.

But the people in the Foreign Diplomatic Department are different. Although Master Hu doesn’t take care of things, he is too lazy to come to the yamen even once every ten days or half a month.

But no matter he comes or not, he is the doctor of the Foreign Diplomatic Department, which means he is the top official.

They are all veteran officials. They don't think that Master Hu, who acts arrogantly in front of officials from other yamen, will be unable to deal with a few small scums in his own yamen.

So, when Master Hu came in, the officials were extremely enthusiastic.

Fortunately, Master Hu was very familiar with this kind of scene, and he greeted everyone as he approached Daoyan's office.

As soon as he walked in, Master Hu was stunned.

Daoyan at this moment no longer looked like the same person compared to before.

Silent, cold, even as chilling as a snake coiled there motionless.

Seeing the condition of Monk Daoyan, Master Hu shuddered violently, and then he was filled with surprise.

OK!

Judging from the looks of it, we have trained a spy chief.

It seems that, at least during this period of time, Monk Daoyan has put a lot of effort into gathering intelligence on foreign countries.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have ended up like this.

"Tell me about it. Judging from your appearance, I'm afraid you have put a lot of effort into gathering intelligence."

"Well, let's put the results aside for a bit. I am very satisfied with your performance!"

"Well, if you have any trouble, just tell me. I will find a way to solve it for you!"

Mr. Hu's words were extremely impolite.

But when it came out of Master Hu's mouth, it sounded particularly confident.

He looked as if Dao Yan could solve any trouble he had.
But you know what, Monk Daoyan really fell for it.

What he likes most is this kind of boss who doesn't care about what he does normally but can help him when he's in trouble.
