"Junior sister, let me do this." Yue Buqun said.

"Brother, do you still want to renew the contract?" Ning Zhongze saw her husband's hesitation.

Yue Buqun remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence. Ning Zhongze also knew that three hundred gold a year was a huge amount of money. Without this income, Huashan's finances would be tight again, so he no longer objected. After all, it was for Huashan's sake.

Making money involves risk.

Shi Qiang saw that Lin Pingzhi could always make Yue Lingshan smile, and thought that Lin Pingzhi did not regard Yue Lingshan as a goddess, but as a peer, so he could always make girls laugh, which Linghu Chong could not do.

"Linghu Chong must have noticed the changes in his junior sister." Shi Qiang knew that what Linghu Chong needed to do was to be strong.

"Mr. Shi, come here, I have something to tell you." Lin Zhennan quietly found Shi Qiang, and the two went to a secluded place in Huashan.

"Is there anything you need to avoid others?" Shi Qiang felt strange.

"Mr. Shi is not a greedy person, and he wrote "General History of Martial Arts". He is knowledgeable and ambitious, so I would like to give "Evil Sword Manual" to him. I hope he will not dislike it. I also want to do something for the development of martial arts. A contribution." Lin Zhennan was thinking about it on the way up the mountain, and finally decided to give the secret book to Shi Qiang. He knew that Shi Qiang would definitely not covet the secret book and would definitely return it to them after borrowing it.

He can publicize that the "Evil Sword Manual" has been in the hands of Shi Qiang, and hope that everyone will stop embarrassing him.

"Are you really willing to take out the secret book?"

"I know that the current situation of the Lin family cannot keep the secret book. Sooner or later, the secret book will be given to others. I don't worry about giving it to others, but I feel safe to give it to my husband." Lin Zhennan said sincerely.

"Okay, I'll take it for reference and return it to you after reading it."

"Lin admires Mr. Lin for his noble character. I will tell Mr. now that the secret book is hidden on the beam of the Lin family's old house." Lin Zhennan directly informed the location of the secret book, showing full trust.

"I'll get it." Shi Qiang said.

"Sir, just go and read it, don't be in a hurry." Lin Yunnan behaved very generously.

On the next day, Yue Buqun took the initiative to find Shi Qiang to discuss contract renewal. He thought about it all night and decided to offer more money. If you want to make money, you can't lose face.

If you keep acting like a gentleman, this business may go bad.

"Headmaster Yue, you are really hardworking when you wake up so early~," Shi Qiang said with a smile.

"You're kidding me. Actually, I'm here to talk about contract renewal. My idea is whether the price should be increased a little. After all, Mr. Huashan Sword School is always so arrogant when he uses it, and we also bear a lot of risks. Three hundred taels Gold is too little.

Shi Qiang said: "It's really too little."

Yue Buqun prepared all night, but he didn't expect that the other party would admit it directly, and he felt a little ashamed for a moment.

But Shi Qiang did not add money directly, saying: "Three hundred taels of gold is indeed too little, but I don't have much liquidity. If Master Yue really wants to make money, it is better to do business with me."

Yue Buqun asked: "What business?"

"Overseas business." Shi Qiang said: "I think you also know that there are many foreigners doing business along the coast, and they can sell Ming Dynasty tea, silk, and porcelain abroad. This business is hugely profitable. I wonder if you are interested.

"The imperial court prohibits the sea." Yue Buqun said.

The sea ban does not prohibit trade, but only merchants permitted by the imperial court can conduct trade. However, there are a large number of people who do not have permission to sail and smuggle, thus forming a large number of Japanese pirates.

Fighting Japanese pirates requires a lot of money, and it was also very difficult in the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as the sea is closed, Japanese pirates will appear. As soon as the sea opens, the Japanese pirates disappear. In short, it is impossible for the imperial court to capture all overseas trade, and local powerful people will not cooperate. When the sea was banned, they engaged in guerrilla warfare; when the sea was opened, they engaged in trade. In any case, they just wanted to snatch income from the imperial court.

It is still during the maritime ban, so only the imperial court can do overseas business.

"It is indeed a forbidden sea, but I have inside information that the sea will be opened again soon. There will also be a conversion from rice to mulberry and large-scale silk production. The business opportunities are unlimited. If you are willing, you can use the next nine hundred taels Gold is used as capital. When we make a deal, if it succeeds, the profit will be doubled at least ten times, that is, two out of nine will be recorded in the account." I

"What if it fails?"

"Then it's definitely a loss of money. There are definitely risks in doing business, especially overseas business. The trade cycle is long and the risks are also very high. But only with high risks can there be high returns." Shi Qiang said: "To be honest, three hundred taels of gold One year is already the highest price I can offer. If the leader wants more, I can only give up cooperating with Huashan. "

Yue Buqun was confused. Should he continue to maintain the original price or take a risk? He was confused.

"I don't know much about the silk business."

"Not just silk, but also cotton, porcelain, tea, candles, etc., are all very profitable businesses. If you are lucky, you can get your money back in one business." Shi Qiang said: "There will be dedicated people in charge of the business. I’m just talking to you.”

Yue Buqun was really stressed and didn't know whether he should take the risk or not.

"By the way, Master Lin has given me the "Evil Sword Manual". I wonder if you are interested. Maybe we can find time to study it." Shi Qiang said.

Yue Buqun couldn't help but feel jealous. After working so hard, Lin Zhennan actually handed the secret book directly to Shi Qiang. Shi Qiang did nothing at all, so why did he get all the benefits? He really felt unwilling and unconvinced. Yue Buqun felt like he was a Joker.

Shi Qiang could sense Yue Buqun's emotional changes, and he even had murderous intent for a moment. I thought that Yue Buqun was too short-sighted, it was just a small blow, "Why get excited.

Fortunately, Yue Buqun also knew not to do anything. He was just jealous. Jealousy was that Shi Qiang was rich and famous, and everyone believed in him. Even though I worked so hard, I couldn't even say a few words from Shi Qiang. I was really angry with Deadman.

He didn't know how much time and money Shi Qiang had spent to establish credibility before. It was all accumulated and not obtained out of thin air.

'."I helped the Lin family purely because of my chivalry, not because I was greedy for secrets." Yue Buqun gritted his teeth and said.

"It doesn't matter if you take a look. How about this? I'll mortgage the secret book with you. If the business fails, you don't have to return the secret book. If the business succeeds, you return the secret book to me." Shi Qiang said: "We can see you in three years. We’ve figured it out.”

When Yue Buqun heard that it was okay, he said: "You have thought carefully, there is no problem, so I decided like this."

"Then I will get the secret book over before the end of this year at the latest. After all, the secret book is still in the south and is not in my hands."

"Okay." Yue Buqun also knew that Lin Zhennan would not carry secret books with him.

So the contract was drawn up again and the renewal was completed under the witness of a third-party notary.

In this way, the work was almost completed, and Shi Qiang took Qu Feiyan back to the capital. This year he will start business and explore overseas markets.

"The Ming Dynasty also had many ships when Zheng He sailed to the Western Seas. It's a pity that once the boatmen are old, even if they have blueprints, it will be difficult (and money is good) to build treasure ships." Shi Qiang knows that this is the inheritance of technology, workers who master cutting-edge technology Once you get old, even if you have the drawings, you cannot copy them.

Not to mention the Ming Dynasty's treasure ship, even the American emperor's moon landing is the same.

Many cutting-edge technologies are completely handmade, and the drawings are here, but a different group of people would not be able to create them. This is very realistic, so the inheritance of technology requires passing on, helping, and leading. That is to say, the master must pass on, help, and lead the apprentice, and pass all the skills to the apprentice.

Without these steps, when the master passes away, the apprentice will be dumbfounded looking at the design drawings. After all, only the master's father knows the logo on the design drawing, not the apprentice.

Even many times, the person who drew the design drawing cannot understand his drawing after a while. It's like programmers are confused when faced with a program they wrote a year ago.

Just having the design drawings is not enough to resurrect the lost technology. For example, the United States' moon landing plan has all the design drawings, but engineers cannot reproduce it. It’s not that their ability is not as good as their teacher’s father

Rather, there is an information gap between the two, and the design drawing cannot contain information that cannot be conveyed. .
