Xiaohuan brought tea in with a blushing face, and after glancing at Li Yi, she quickly backed out.
There is something wrong with the little maid today, I don't know what is thinking in her head, she should be rebellious at the age of sixteen, just to be on the safe side, she should ask carefully later, Li Yi thought in his heart, looked back at Li Xuan and said: "Tell me, what's the big deal?"
"Luochuan Wang, have you heard of it?" Li Xuan looked at him and asked.
Li Yi thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "Luochuan Wang has never heard of it, but Luochuan Apple has."
In his impression, Luochuan is the hometown of apples. Luochuan apples are beautiful in shape, bright in color, crisp and dense in flesh, and excellent in color and fragrance...
Of course, this Luochuan is not the other Luochuan, but I don't know what this Luochuan Wang family is, did they start selling apples
Li Xuan rubbed the center of his brows, and said, "The Wang family of Luochuan is the family of the eldest concubine."
"That Wang family?" Li Yi looked at him and asked.
"It's the Wang family." Li Xuan nodded.
Of course, Li Yi knew about the royal family to which the crown prince belonged, but no one had ever mentioned to him what the Wang family and Apple had to do with Luochuan. It's amazing.
Just like the Cui family, they have a very high prestige among the people and scholars. Their own strength is not obvious, and there are no soldiers in the family, but their influence is huge. On their own one-acre land, they are like the emperor Existence, a little agitation, the world of Lao Li's family will be in chaos, and even the royal family will have to give face.
Of course, Li Yi has heard of this Wang family.
It is a family similar to the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Although it has not been completely wiped out in the course of history, after more than a hundred years of changes in the situation, the existing power is much weaker than those powerful families in the previous life, but It should not be underestimated either.
The Wang family is another kind of existence among these families.
There is only one reason, money!
Although opportunistic businessmen are despised by the upper class, but they are fools if they don’t earn money, and the famous families also have to eat, and besides, having enough food is not just what they pursue. No less.
But among these powerful families, only the Wang family was able to do business in an aboveboard manner and to this extent.
No one knows how much money the Wang family has. They only know that their shops have opened in almost all states and counties in Jingguo, and they own the largest chamber of commerce in Jingguo. A bunch of self-proclaimed wealthy businessmen.
Even though the Li family is not short of money now, it is still far from being able to compare with such a behemoth.
If you have money, you have to keep a low profile.
This law does not apply to future generations, but it does apply here.
Such a, no, a big fat sheep, attracts attention everywhere.
The operation of the country needs money, and the rebellion also needs money. With the money of the Wang family, there will be an economic foundation for superstructure construction.
Of course, whether you want to rebel or want to rule the country, you can't rob it openly, it will be unpopular, not to mention that the Wang family is not a soft persimmon, and the Wang family has always hugged the thigh of the royal family. , the first to take the lead in donating money, actively exerting the influence of the family, and helping to implement various new government orders within the sphere of influence of the imperial court. He is simply a role model for the powerful and the staunchest ally of the old emperor.
This is also the main reason why the king of Shu always wants to climb up to the Wang family. The marriage of the big family is not just a matter of the juniors seeing each other. They are more concerned about political factors. Marriage is to stand in line. Daughter, it means that the Wang family has already stood behind the king of Shu. With the leaders of the Cui family and the Wang family, the position of the East Palace cannot be more stable.
Speaking of the royal family behind the king of Shu, there is the Cui family, and the marriage with the Wang family can be said to be a good match. Unfortunately, the peaches that have been picked for a long time were not picked, but someone stepped in and snatched them first. The dream of the king of Shu to win over the Wang family was shattered. From now on, Li Xuan will be regarded as a thorn in the flesh...
Li Yi glanced at Li Xuan, but he still hasn't figured out what the Wang family is looking for in this guy
After all, the Wang family is also a powerful family, and it stands to reason that their vision is not bad, but I have to say, the concubine's father, this picky son-in-law's vision is really not very good...
"Your father-in-law asked you to come?" Li Yi asked looking at him.
A look of embarrassment appeared on Li Xuan's face, and he said: "The business of spirits, soap, and perfume has almost swept the capital this year, but we don't have enough manpower and financial resources to expand to other places. The Wang family wants to expand this time." Looking for cooperation, the father-in-law came to the Shizi Mansion in person two days ago... "
The embarrassment on Li Xuan's face was even thicker. At certain times, his skin was still a little thin, especially when he was asking for something, it was even more difficult to speak.
Li Yi probably understood what he meant, it was nothing more than that the Wang family also fell in love with this big cake and wanted to come in for a share.
The profits here are so huge. Although there are countless shops in the family, involving various industries, the bulk of the profits are still in these few businesses.
The Wang family's business is so big, how could it be possible that they don't have this bit of vision, and it's not surprising that they are interested in these few businesses.
Of course, for both parties, this is indeed mutually beneficial and win-win.
Due to human, material and financial resources, the business that Li Yi, Li Xuan and Her Royal Highness cooperated with could only occupy the market in Kyoto.
Although the Wang family is capable, they lack core technology, which is the most critical. Without Li Yi's consent, they can't intervene at all.
Cooperating with the Wang family has expanded the market, and the money in the future will definitely flow to the family. Miss Liu Er is not afraid of losing her fortune no matter how much she loses. Her ass was swollen.
There will be more places to spend money in the future, and in this way, money can be used to do more things.
In addition, it has also established a bond of interest with the Wang family. Between families, this is stronger than the connection brought about by marriage.
Of course, if the imperial concubine had a decent-looking older sister and younger sister, the two families would remarry and add another layer of ties on top of their interests. Naturally, it would be impossible to consider.
This matter is not harmful to my family, not to mention that Li Xuan will not refuse as long as it does not involve the bottom line.
After all, this is the only person in Jingguo who would step forward to make amends instead of stop him when he beat the King of Shu.
Li Yi nodded and said, "If you have time these two days, let the Wang family send someone over to discuss specific cooperation matters."
Li Xuan thought for a while, and said: "You don't have to think about me about the Wang family's affairs, just do whatever you want."
He weighed it in his heart for a long time, and finally made a decision.
"Okay, then let them stop sending people." Li Yi said simply.
"—"
"Pretend I didn't say it." Li Xuan stood up, the guilt in his heart disappeared without a trace, and walked outside, "I will bring people from the Wang family over tomorrow."
"Wait a minute." Li Yi stopped him in time.
Li Xuan stepped out of the threshold with one foot, and the other foot was ready to step out at any time.
"Luochuan Wang's family, did you sell apples before?" Li Yi looked at him and asked extremely curiously.
