Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 1953

Deng Qibin is really a monstrous character. After such a long time, who knows how much he has reduced the cost?

In the end, Guo Ye gritted his teeth and cut down the price of flat glass by ten times. A one-foot-square glass only sold for two pennies!

Guo Ye costs fifty pennies to produce a square foot of glass.Selling it for two pennies is not much different from giving it away for nothing.According to the current shipments, it is equivalent to filling in all the profits of perfume, soap and mirrors.

So far, he has exhausted all his cards.

Guo Ye secretly thought, half a year, and another half a year, if the five great gentry do not show signs of decline within half a year, it means that Deng Qibin has reduced the cost of flat glass to an unbelievable level.

There is no way, the technology is inferior to others, and the plan to suppress the price of flat glass can only be temporarily suppressed.

Fortunately, the worst didn't happen!

Less than a month after the price reduction, Qian Dakai, who he sent to Wude Bank, came back and replied, "I report to Duke Qin, fortunately, the villain did not disgrace his life, so I am here to give you an order!"

Guo Ye was taken aback, and said: "Now we are in an inextricable battle with the five great gentry in the flat glass market, and it is time for you to show your talents. What are you doing here? Give orders? Give you a big head!"

"Qin Guogong, please be quiet and don't be impatient. In fact, the villain didn't come back on his own initiative, but was dismissed by the five noble families."

"Did you expose it?"

"Of course not. I have good news for you. The five noble clans have dismissed all the employees of the glass workshop. We have won this business war!"

"They couldn't hold on after only one month? How is this possible?" Guo Ye asked in surprise, "Why are the five noble families so vulnerable? Don't they have Deng Qibin?"

Chapter 1800 Reward (1)

They couldn't hold on after only a month?It's incredible!

Why are the five noble clans so vulnerable?

Don't they have Deng Qibin?

Guo Ye was full of doubts for a while, unable to solve the mystery.

The reason is that this time has to start from half a year ago...

That night, in Prince Qi's mansion.

The toasts are intertwined, Yinggeyanyanwu, so lively!

Li You came in front of Li Quan with a wine glass in his hand, and said, "Master Li has done his best, and that guy Guo Ye really got the trick. It's really gratifying. Xiao Wang toasts you!"

"My lord is too polite. How dare a certain Li bear the word 'respect' in front of you? This matter can only be accomplished thanks to His Royal Highness King Qi's great fortune. Come, let's drink this cup together!"

After drinking the fine wine in the cup, Li You returned to his normal position.He waved his hand and ordered the unrelated people to retreat.All of a sudden, in the hall, only he, the patriarchs of the five great noble families, and the uncle of the country, Yin Hongzhi, were left.

Then, he coughed lightly, and said, "Patriarch Li is really too modest. Thinking about how many ingenious schemes and tricks Duke Xun Zhang Liang had thought of to deal with that guy Guo Ye, was there no king to support him? What was the result? ? Every time I steal a chicken, I will lose a handful of rice!"

Speaking of this, he sighed softly, and said: "Could it be that this king's great blessings can't bless Zhang Liang, but only you? This reason doesn't make sense! So, Xiao Wang doesn't have merit in size. This matter can be done." , all thanks to you alone!"

Li Quandao: "My lord's words are wrong. Even if it has nothing to do with luck, in this matter, your own contribution is not small."

"Oh? How can you see it?"

"In the old days, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty once said that I am not as good as Zifang when I am strategizing and winning thousands of miles away. I am not as good as Xiao He when I rule the country, caress the people, give them money, and keep food. , the attack must be taken, I am not as good as Han Xin."

He paused, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Does this mean that Liu Bang did not make any contribution in the Chu-Han conflict?"

Li Youdao: "Of course not. There is another saying behind Han Gaozu, these three are all outstanding people, and I can use them, so I can take over the world. In the opinion of Gu Wang, the contribution of Gaozu who can use people is more important than the contribution of the three heroes in the early Han Dynasty." big."

"It's still true. Gaozu used the three heroes to rule the world, and you used me, Li Quan, to defeat Guo Ye. These two things are different, but the reason is the same. Your Highness, King Qi, you know people well, how can you count them as insignificant achievements?"

"So you compare Xiao Wang to the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty? I am really ashamed to be the king!" After all, Li You was still a young man. Hearing this, his cheeks flushed with joy and he waved his hands again and again.

Li Quan continued to flatter: "You must not underestimate yourself when the King of Qi is a thousand years old. At your age, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty still has a meal, and he can't even marry a wife. But you are already an official of the King of Qi, and you have a lot of talents. In Li's opinion, you are much stronger than Han Gaozu."

Of course, what he said doesn't stand up to scrutiny. In detail, when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, most people were better off than Liu Bang.Are these people much stronger than Liu Bang?

However, thousands of wears and thousands of flattery do not wear.After hearing this, Li You was very satisfied, and said, "If the lonely king is Han Gaozu, then Li Aiqing will be my wife Zhang, let's encourage each other! That's right..."

He suddenly frowned, and said: "Although Guo Ye has been tricked, we can't take it lightly. This person is as cunning as a fox and as ruthless as a wolf. Maybe he will understand at some point. What should we do next? You have to make preparations early. What do you think, Patriarch Li?"

Li Quan stretched out two fingers and said, "There are two main reasons why we were able to plot against Guo Ye this time. We must start with these two reasons in what to do in the future."

Seeing that Li Quan was so highly valued by Li You, Yin Hongzhi felt rather apprehensive, and said sarcastically, "The first reason is, of course, that you, Master Li, are wiser than Zhang Liang, who has been in charge of bad people for your majesty for many years. too much!"

Li Quan smiled slightly, and said: "Our five great gentry families have a long history and come from Tsinghua University. Li is the head of the Li family in Longxi, so he dare not underestimate himself. He is indeed better than Zhang Liang, who was born as an old farmer in the countryside. It's not at 01:30 !"

Yin Hongzhi rolled his eyes, and said: "During the previous business war, your five noble clans lost tens of millions of money! Zhang Liang didn't intervene in this matter. It was all your master Li's idea. How do you explain this?" ?”

"The old man didn't say that the success this time is all due to me. Isn't there a second reason for this?"

"The second reason is the foreigner Deng Qibin! You can only make things happen because of people!"

Li You saw that Li Quan's face was not looking good, so he quickly smoothed things over and said, "Xiao Wang understands, if you want Guo Ye to turn around, the first thing you need to do is to obey Li's family leader. As for Deng Yangren... this king will give you a lot of rewards! Li Patriarch, what would you like to reward him with?"

Li Quandao: "Don't bother with the reward from the prince, I, Li Quan, will handle this matter on my behalf! This reward of mine will surely satisfy Deng Yang's heart, everyone praises me!"

Yin Hongzhi sneered and said, "Patriarch Li's words are a little too big. Could it be that your reward is better than the prince's?"

Li Quandao: "I dare not say that my reward is better than the prince's. I can only say that the things I gave out are the most suitable for Deng Yangren. He will be very satisfied, and I can't say no."

"Then Yin will wait and see!"

……

With little effort, Deng Qibin was brought into the hall.

"See His Highness King Qi! See Uncle Guo! See you Patriarchs!"

"Mr. Deng, please get up!" Li You smiled and clasped his hands together, and said, "This time you can defeat Qin Guogong Guo Ye, you have contributed a lot! You don't need to be so polite!"

Only then did Deng Qibin stand up and said, "I don't know why His Royal Highness King Qi summoned someone Deng?"

Li Youdao: "Thanks to Mr. Deng, our cost of producing flat glass is much lower than Qin Guogong Guo Ye. Now he has been tricked into selling glassware at a price far below the cost, but this price is making us profit Quite rich! If things go on like this..."

Yin Hongzhi continued, "If things go on like this, we must make a lot of money, while Guo Ye loses a lot. All of this is due to Mr. Deng! In order to reward you for your contribution, if you have any requirements, you can do whatever you want." Proposed!"

Deng Qibin said quite vigilantly: "We agreed in advance that there are [-]% of my shares in this glass workshop, and you can't do without me!"

"Look at what you said, whoever is missing, you are also indispensable! Don't worry, the money that should be given to you will not be short of a penny. What His Royal Highness Qi Wang means is that in addition to what you deserve, there are additional reward." Yin Hongzhi said with a smile.

Li Youdao: "That's what this king means. If Mr. Deng has any request, feel free to ask. As long as it can be done, Xiao Wang will never refuse."

Deng Qibin knelt down on both knees and said: "His Royal Highness, you are so generous! Now it seems that it is a very wise decision for someone Deng to abandon Guo Ye and choose you! I will always be your most loyal servant! "

"Mr. Deng, you are welcome. Now you can make your request. In addition to this king, there are also the heads of the five great noble clans. There are really not many things we can't do in Datang."
