Chapter 123: This deal cannot be done
Wei Zheng next to him was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhao Chen with a strange expression.
I thought to myself, how could this kid be so powerful that he gave Li Jing a stroke?
Why didn't that Hong Fu girl come over and be chopped by Zhao Chen?
Could it be that he was stopped by that girl Li Ruoshuang?
I heard that Li Ruoshuang came here often, and Zhao Chen also helped with the martial arts performances between the two countries.
presumably……
Wei Zheng felt that he was almost right, and wondered whether he should take the first step now.
After all, the red-whisker girl was not joking when she got angry.
Zhao Chen looked a little strange and said, "I just refused Duke Wei's invitation, isn't that the case?"
"Invitation, what invitation?" Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen strangely.
Thinking that Li Jing was not even willing to go to the banquet, how could he invite Zhao Chen?
Why did he invite Zhao Chen?
Wei Zheng also looked at Zhao Chen curiously and secretly thought that Li Jing was so fragile and was so angry when Zhao Chen rejected the invitation?
"Gong Weiguo invited me to join the army and study with him. I didn't think it was interesting, so I refused."
"I don't think so, your majesty!" Zhao Chen said with a frown.
I was wondering if I should go see Li Jing later.
Don't really have anything to do with yourself.
Li Shimin and Wei Zheng immediately looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.
"Your kid is crazy, why did you reject him?"
"How could you refuse him?"
"Do you know how many people dream of being with Li Jing?"
"From the prince of the East Palace to the common soldier, who doesn't want to learn from Li Jing? It's a good thing that you refused!"
Li Shimin stared at Zhao Chen, looking like he hated iron.
Wei Zheng also opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know what to say!
In this world, someone actually rejected Li Jing's invitation.
No, this is not an invitation. It is clearly that Li Jing wants to accept Zhao Chen as his disciple.
But, he actually refused
Absolutely.
If others knew about this, Zhao Chen would probably be tempted to kill him.
"Why?" Li Shimin gritted his teeth.
He was thinking that Zhao Chen had missed an excellent opportunity.
A perfect opportunity to get in touch with Li Jing.
If Zhao Chen can become Li Jing's apprentice, then after Zhao Chen's identity is revealed, who will dare to act rashly.
This is almost the same as marrying Li Ruoshuang.
Zhao Chen actually refused such a good opportunity.
Li Shimin really wanted to pry open Zhao Chen's head and see what was inside!
"I don't like it!" Zhao Chen said casually.
"Forehead--"
Seeing Zhao Chen being so calm and calm, Li Shimin was immediately choked up.
I have prepared a long paragraph of speech, but I can't say a word at this moment.
"Haha, I guess it's Zhao Chen that you and Duke Wei haven't met yet."
"There will be opportunities in the future." Wei Zheng saw that Li Shimin looked quite unhappy. Although he was a little surprised, he didn't think much about it.
Wei Zheng now wants to get his share of the saltpeter for this month.
After all, he promised to treat Fang Xuanling to dinner.
But this money is still in Zhao Chen's hands.
"Zhao Chen, this saltpeter -" Wei Zheng rubbed his hands with a look of anticipation on his face.
Zhao Chen naturally knew that Lao Wei came to him to ask for saltpeter, but...
"Old Li Tou, Old Wei, I have a new investment direction here, do you want to join us?" Zhao Chen looked at the two of them and said lightly.
"New investment direction? This..." Wei Zheng hesitated.
He was still waiting for Zhao Chen to get the money to treat guests to drinks.
If we reinvest this, we will definitely not get the money now.
When the time comes, Fang Xuanling won’t be able to say that she deceived him?
Li Shimin was feeling angry because Zhao Chen refused Li Jing's invitation.
He just said casually, "What can you do this time?"
"Also, how much money is in this account? Should you tell us?"
"Excluding all costs from the sale of saltpeter mine, there are still about 20,000 yuan in the account!" Zhao Chen raised two fingers.
"Twenty thousand guan?" Wei Zheng immediately stood up, his face full of joy.
According to the previous agreement, both Wei Zheng and Zhao Chen would only get 10% of the profit.
Even if it's one percent, that's still two thousand strings.
Two thousand guan is enough for him to live in restaurants for the rest of his life.
Wei Zheng's hands were trembling with excitement.
The admonishment doctor is not yet at the fourth rank in official position, and his annual salary is only twenty guan.
This life is also hard haha.
Two thousand strings! In just one month, he can get two thousand strings.
Wei Zheng could no longer hide his usual calmness.
Li Shimin was also shocked, and a flash of shock flashed in his eyes.
Only one month has passed, and the three of them have earned a total of 20,000 yuan.
Moreover, when summer comes next year, they can earn another three or four months.
Although this money is nothing to Li Shimin!
But this is basically a business without capital.
If this kid is given a bigger stage, will he bring himself a bigger surprise?
Li Shimin was also curious at the moment. What would Zhao Chen say about a new investment direction?
"What to invest in?" Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen curiously.
"Gathering grain, harvesting grain in large quantities." Zhao Chen said.
"Gathering grain?" Li Shimin's face was slightly startled, and then he showed a joking look.
"Boy Zhao, the price of food is extremely stable now, and there is still another month
It is the autumn harvest season, and food prices are bound to fall. "
"Are you gathering food at this time for fear that you will lose money?"
"It is worse than selling porcelain from the Tang Dynasty. If it can be exported to Tubo, Persia, Southeast Asia and other places, its value can increase dozens of times."
"There's no way I can make more money than you harvesting grain!" Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen with a half-smile.
He analyzed Zhao Chen's plan eloquently.
Although Li Shimin is not a real businessman, he is still very knowledgeable about business practices.
"My boss is right. The purpose of collecting grain is to lose money. When the autumn harvest is over, the grain you harvested will be old grain, and the price will fall again."
"Zhao Chen, you can't do this business!" Wei Zheng also echoed.
Even people with a little bit of business awareness know that hoarding food now is the same as throwing money into the water.
Wei Zheng finally managed to get two thousand coins, but he didn't want to give it to Zhao Chen before he got it.
But it was hard for him to refuse directly.
After all, Zhao Chen helped him earn this money.
Wei Zheng didn't put any effort into it.
So he echoed Li Shimin's words.
"Zhao Chen, you can't make any money from this grain farm, and you're going to lose money!" Li Shimin's last words put Zhao Chen's idea in a dead end.
"What you said is normal, but what if this month is abnormal?" Zhao Chen took a sip of tea and looked at the two people with a smile.
"What's abnormal?" Li Shimin frowned and couldn't figure out what Zhao Chen meant for a while.
Chang'an City is peaceful and peaceful now, so where is the abnormality?
To say that it is abnormal, Zhao Chen himself is a little abnormal!
Wei Zheng also looked at Zhao Chen with strange eyes.
"What if the food in Chang'an City suddenly runs out?" Zhao Chen shook his head and said slowly.
"How is that possible?" Li Shimin blurted out as soon as Zhao Chen finished speaking.
