Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 55, Do business with the emperor again

"Don't be rude to Mr. Liu!"

As soon as the waiter's words fell, a business sounded. A middle-aged man in his 40s walked out from the roller shutter at the back door of the charcoal shop.

"Shopkeeper, it's fine if he doesn't buy charcoal when he comes to our store, but he also said that using coal is better than using our charcoal, and he said that he needs to add yellow mud to wash the coal..."

The waiter in the shop saw his shopkeeper coming out, and hurriedly reported the situation to the shopkeeper.

"Okay, I know everything, you go to work."

The shopkeeper didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and waved his hand to let the waiter do his own thing.

Then he also smiled and said to Liu Jin, Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang and others: "I have money, I just heard what Mr. Liu said, and I feel very interested. I don't know if Mr. Liu is willing. Come in and talk in detail?"

"Boss Qian knows me?"

Liu Jin looked at Qian Youcai, as if he didn't know him at all, so he asked in confusion.

"I know, of course I know. Mr. Liu's Ming Dynasty has spread throughout the entire capital, from the pillars of the country above the temples, down to ordinary people like me. Now everyone is discussing what you said in the Wangyue Tower."

"The Golden Island is full of gold, the treasure island of Ceylon is full of gems, and Europe where silk, porcelain and gold are equivalent, etc. Now everyone is deeply attracted by everything you describe, my son."

"To be honest, I really want to know Mr. Liu. Today, Mr. Liu's visit to the shop really makes the shop flourish."

Qian Youcai was smiling all over his face, and his words made people feel like a spring breeze. In fact, he was resting in the back room just now. After all, the weather was too cold. The waiter in the general business store can just say hello, and he can warm up by the fire inside. .

After hearing Liu Jin's words about coal, he immediately guessed Liu Jin's identity, and only Liu Jin could say such novel things.

"I'm also very interested. I wonder if I can be counted?"

Emperor Hongzhi was slightly surprised after hearing Qian Youcai's words. He didn't expect that Liu Jin's story would spread so quickly. It seemed that now everyone knew what Liu Jin said in Wangyue Tower.

Now that Qian Youcai is interested in the coal Liu Jin mentioned, Emperor Hongzhi is also interested, of course he is different from Qian Youcai.

This Qian Youcai has seen the huge benefits of coal. As long as the problem of coal poisonous gas can be solved and this coal replaces charcoal, this is not a steady stream of wealth.

As for Emperor Hongzhi, he definitely didn't think about getting rich. What he thought about was that if coal could replace charcoal, then ordinary people could afford it, which would save people from freezing to death in winter and benefit the common people.

"Several guests are very extraordinary at first glance. If the guests are also interested, we will go in and talk about it in detail."

Qian Youcai looked carefully at Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang and others. This Emperor Hongzhi has been emperor for a long time, and the aura he exudes is naturally very strong. As for the three elders, they have also been in high positions for a long time. Extraordinary bearing.

In addition, although the clothes of several people have changed temporarily, Qian Youcai can tell at a glance that the fabrics of the clothes on several people are not ordinary goods, and those who can afford it are worth making friends with.

"Well, since everyone is interested, let's talk about it together. It's freezing cold. If coal can be used instead of charcoal, it will be good news for ordinary people. It's not the coldest time yet. If In the twelfth lunar month of winter, I don’t know how cold it will be.”

Liu Jin looked at a few people, nodded after thinking about it.

"Please~"

When Qian Youcai heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and then he said to the waiter in the shop: "Bring me a pot of good tea."

Soon, everyone came to the inner room behind the charcoal shop, lit a charcoal fire, brewed good tea, accompanied by bursts of tea fragrance, everyone drank tea, and immediately felt much warmer.

"Mr. Liu, what you just said about the coal containing sulfur can really be washed away by washing coal?"

Qian Youcai asked anxiously when he saw a way to get rich.

"Of course you can. In fact, it is simple and simple to say, and it is quite complicated to say complicated things."

Liu Jin nodded and said that there are several steps from mining the coal to making honeycomb coal. In fact, the coal washing step is not only to screen the coal, but more importantly, to remove the sulfur in the coal by chemical reaction.

If you are a person of later generations, you can easily do it with a little knowledge of chemistry, but in ancient times, Liu Jin felt that he still needed to spend a lot of effort to explain it.

"Then after washing the coal, why do you need to add yellow mud and make it into briquettes?"

As soon as Qian Youcai turned his eyes, he knew that Liu Jin would not easily tell the way to make a fortune, but he didn't care about it. He originally wanted to cooperate with Liu Jin to make a fortune together, so he didn't continue to struggle with this issue. Ask about adding yellow mud.

Hearing the words of Qian Youcai, Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, and Xie Qian also became energetic. In fact, they were also thinking about this question, why should a certain proportion of yellow mud be added to it, and what kind of briquettes should be made into it.

"Isn't this coal difficult to ignite? It's extremely inconvenient to use."

"Whether it's adding yellow mud or making honeycomb coal, it's all for convenience. After doing this, the coal will be very convenient to use and easier to ignite."

Liu Jin said with some helplessness that people in this era use firewood and charcoal, and there is no other source of energy, so people in this era don't know how to ignite this thing at all. Things are often more difficult to ignite. Like aviation kerosene in later generations, there is no way to ignite it with an open flame.

"That's it~"

After everyone listened, all of them suddenly showed a look of enlightenment.

"Mr. Liu, how about we start this coal business together?"

"All the money, manpower, coal mines, etc. that are needed can be provided by me. Mr. Liu only needs to invest in how to wash coal, how to make briquettes, etc. How about we open [-]-[-]?"

At this time, Qian Youcai felt that Liu Jin's words were highly credible, and he immediately proposed to cooperate with Li Jin to do business.

"Cough cough~"

Emperor Hongzhi on the side couldn't sit still. If this businessman and Li Jin were allowed to partner, even if this coal could replace charcoal, the price of this coal would definitely increase a lot if the businessman pursued profits.

So even if it is a partnership to do this coal business, it is his Emperor Hongzhi who will come to the partnership, so that the price of coal can be controlled and the coal can be used by ordinary people.

"Mr. Zhu seems to have something to say."

Hearing Emperor Hongzhi's coughing sound, Liu Jin looked over and said quickly.

"This coal business is counted on me. I will take [-]%, and you two will each take [-]%."

Emperor Hongzhi didn't mean to be polite with Liu Jin and Qian Youcai, so he spoke directly very domineeringly.

"This…"

When Qian Youcai heard this, his complexion suddenly became ugly. He didn't expect this person to have such a big appetite, and he was about to leave [-]% of his mouth. He wanted to object, but at this time, Xiao Jing, who was behind Emperor Hongzhi, also put his waist His clothes lifted up slightly, revealing an iron sign.

When Qian Youcai saw this sign, he was frightened half to death, and quickly said: "No, no, you can do this business, I won't participate."

"No~ You must also participate in this business. I don't understand this business, and Mr. Liu doesn't understand it either. Boss Qian must understand this business. What's more, what I said has never been changed."

"Of course, my [-]% stake is not for nothing. I have many mountains in the Xishan area of ​​the capital, and there is coal on these mountains. This is my investment asset."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately said domineeringly, but after thinking about it, he still said in a kind tone that he would take out some of his mountains in Xishan to buy shares.

Qian Youcai's face turned dark when he heard what Emperor Hongzhi said. He thought that this time he was stealing chickens and losing money. He wanted to make money, but he didn't expect to meet a ruthless character. He probably even got his wife into it.

I don't think the other party is willing to take out several coal mountains to buy shares. Everyone knows that there is coal in the Xishan area. This coal was nothing before, and no one wanted it at all.

But if the coal can be used as charcoal, then the mountains of coal will be mountains of gold and silver. Calculated, this investment is quite important, accounting for [-]% is not too much.

"I have no objection. After all, this is the second time I have cooperated with Mr. Zhu."

Naturally, Liu Jin had no objections. With Emperor Hongzhi as a shareholder, his voice was really solid and secure, and it was more reassuring and secure to use this sulfur removal method by himself.

If he only cooperates with Qian Youcai, Liu Jin will have to think about it carefully. Who knows if Qian Youcai will kick himself away after knowing the method. In contrast, Emperor Hongzhi's Character is much more believable.

He is an emperor, rich all over the world. Most of the time he wants to get involved in this business is not to make money, but to control the price of coal and keep the price of coal at a very low level, so that ordinary people can use it. afford it.

Emperor Hongzhi must have known that if this was done by a businessman, the businessman would do anything for profit, and would do anything to make money.

Not only did Liu Jin think of this, but Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang obviously thought of this too, so Emperor Hongzhi held [-]% of the shares so domineeringly, and they didn't say anything, because all of this was Emperor Hongzhi was really thinking about the people.
