Chapter 174 Lai Di profiteer(2/2)
Li Gui gasped and asked, "Have you signed the contract?"
Guo Dan nodded and said, "Has signed?"
"So fast?"
"Xing'an Bo is impatient, so...haha, I wonder what the hell is there to do with Eunuch Li?"
"Your Majesty summons you to come, saying that there are some questions that have not been asked clearly."
Any other problem? Isn’t it just to ask for 30% of his profit? Guo Dan felt even more happy when he heard it. This proves that Wanli attaches great importance to the 30% of his profit. He will definitely feel very painful at this time, just like when he was cast, he was also very painful.
Li Gui took Guo Dan to the small attic.
Wanli looked at Li Gui first and learned that the contract had been signed, he couldn't help but feel angry and said, "Guo Dan, when you told me, you didn't say that you would take 30% out for charity."
The more I think about this, the more depressed it becomes. This is 30% of the profit, and I have to donate it every year. Judging from the amount of his investment, it is really a small amount. The key is that it was donated by Guo Dan in name, and he didn't get anything. This is really frustrating.
Guo Dan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I didn't expect that so many ministers would oppose this matter."
Wanli said: "Even so, you...you can take 10% out, but you don't have to take 30%. There are not so many wanderers under the feet of this emperor. If there is a disaster in the local area, my inner treasury will also be allocated for relief."
"Your Majesty, it's actually only 10%.
"Why did it become one again?"
Wanli suddenly said confused.
Guo Dan said: "Your Majesty, I can't just do it for me to hold a Marseille alone. It requires a lot of money to hire people. As the saying goes, it is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people. We use money to help those poor families so that we can obtain manpower. Anyway, this money is definitely obtained. Even if there is excess, we can build a Marseille college and cultivate specialized talents. I heard that there are more rich people in Nanjing, and we can go there to build a Marseille there. After all, this calculation is actually only 10%.
Although Wanli is smart, he can't settle accounts. Especially with such a complicated account, there are too many benefits in it. If you play well, you will definitely be rich and can match a country. Wanli obviously hasn't realized this yet.
"Is that true?" Wanli was still a little suspicious.
Guo Tan said: "How dare you deceive Your Majesty? If you take a step back, even if you throw out 30% of the pure profit, it is worth it, because these 30% of the profit can block the crowd and gain a good reputation for Marseille. In this way, it will not only last but also allow more people to participate, because they will use this kind of good deeds as an excuse for betting on horses, and thus regard betting on horses as daily entertainment activities. If Marseille opposes and slanders every day, this will affect business. Therefore, 70% on this basis is much more than the ten percent."
Wanli could understand this principle. After all, public opinion is controlled by Shilin. Otherwise, it would be very annoying to quarrel with them every day. The key is that they can't even argue with them. They must have some good reasons.
Wanli had no choice but to admit it and asked again: "Now that the contract has been signed, when will this Marseille be held?"
"Report to Your Majesty, in fact, the venue, the competition rules, and the Beizhi have formulated a very complete plan, and the current ones are to promote it."
Speaking of this, Guo Dan suddenly glanced at Wanli and said, "I dared to ask Your Majesty to agree to a reluctant request from Beijie."
Wanli asked, "What a regretful request?"
Guo Tan said: "It's just that I hope that the day Marseille will open, His Majesty will come to support him in person."
Wanli was panicked when he heard this and immediately said, "I won't participate in this matter. Please let Xing'an Bo and the others support you."
Rejection is quite firm.
He was a pure-bred fat man. Apart from the time he was carried out, he had only left the palace and went to the same place, his tomb.
Guo Tan said: "I dare not disturb Your Majesty, but if Your Majesty goes, the profit will be several times higher, which will be a good start for Marseille. I think this is still necessary."
"How many times?"
Wanli's eyes lit up.
Guo Dan nodded and said, "If Your Majesty goes in person, first of all, this will attract great attention, and the number of people who bet will increase, and they must be high-ranking officials and royal relatives, but this is only second. Since Your Majesty has gone, why not send a horse to the competition? According to Huye's prediction, if Your Majesty's horse participates in the competition, they will definitely bet Your Majesty's horse will definitely run first, but if you don't run first, this..."
Li Gui was stunned when he heard this, thinking, how could there be such a despicable and treacherous person in this world? Is it true that businessmen are like this? If you deal with businessmen in the future, you have to be more careful.
Wanli was stunned, and the Adam's apple suddenly rolled, saying, "Didn't you say that you should be fair, just and open? This matter..."
If someone knows, it would be embarrassing.
Guo Tan said: "Your Majesty, you are humble to prove that our Marseille is fair, just and open, so you do this. Why don't you think about it the other way around? If even Your Majesty's horse cannot run first, is it unfair, just and open?"
That's OK?
Li Gui was completely confused.
Because Guo Dan’s statement is too reasonable.
Wanli became a little hesitant and said, "But if I leave the palace, the ministers will definitely stop it or..."
Guo Dan said: "If it comes to national affairs, your Majesty must go."
Wanli asked again: "Why is this?"
Guo Dan said: "Why did you want to hold a Marseille? It's because of the fact that Ma Zheng is involved in military affairs. Your Majesty comes out to support it, proving that Your Majesty attaches great importance to military and national affairs and can also boost the morale of the army."
Wanli looked at Guo Dan with a strange look on his face.
This kid is so sensible. If you make money, you will all talk about military and national affairs. The key is that it makes sense.
But the fat man Wanli was not flirting with his reputation. Even so, he was very suspicious and said, "I'll consider it again."
