Chapter 39: Hot potato

Views:

"Tens of millions in profits?"

Mu Hongxiu's bright eyes shone slightly, "Did this brat really succeed?"

Ge Xinyue said with a smile: "According to Lu Li, this is just the first phase. When the power of Zhenguojin truly ferments, even after deducting the bonus, each phase will make a profit of hundreds of millions."

Hearing what she said, Mu Hongxiu breathed a sigh of relief, raised the corners of her lips, and murmured: "Unexpected, really unexpected."

Hundreds of millions of profits, what is this concept

To use the most intuitive comparison, the annual tax revenue of the Tiantian Holy Kingdom is only a hundred billion. But this money is not really in the hands of the royal family, but is used to promote the development of the entire Holy Kingdom and the allocation of various ministries. After layer upon layer of consumption, the national treasury can only have about 10 billion left every year.

This means that Zhenguojin's profits for each period can reach 1% of the tax revenue of Tiantian Holy Kingdom. According to Lu Li, Zhenguojin can sell more than 150 issues every year. If nothing else happens, wouldn't the profit from this thing have exceeded the national treasury

Even though Mu Hongxiu didn't care about money, she was slightly shocked after she made a clear calculation in her mind, and sighed: "As expected, as that brat said, Zhenguojin is a hot potato. Once something goes wrong, it is not a life-saving solution. , but a deadly poisonous plan!"

"Your Highness, Lu Li has already made arrangements for this." Ge Xinyue said: "We have the national gold in our hands, and it will not exceed ten installments at most. We will donate all the profits and wait for others to come. Just fight for it.”

"This will not only bring balance to the hearts of those aristocratic families, but also allow Prince Yan's Mansion to escape in time."

Mu Hongxiu nodded and said: "With such a terrifying profit, those greedy old guys will come to the door soon after seeing it. Originally, they planned to embezzle my Prince Yan's Mansion, but now that they see me coming back to life, they will definitely be unwilling to accept it. Throwing this hot thing to them should buy them a lot of time and give them a headache."

Thinking of the expressions of those noble families, Mu Hongxiu sneered, "I am looking forward to seeing what these losers' expressions will be like when they find out about Zhen Guojin's trouble."

Speaking of this, Mu Hongxiu seemed to suddenly remember something and waved her hand: "Tell that brat to come see me."

Ge Xinyue is naturally called "Yes".

Not long after, Lu Li, who was still directing behind the scenes, was dragged over by Ge Xinyue.

"I have met Your Highness." Lu Li bowed seriously, his words and deeds were quite reserved.

Mu Hongxiu sneered: "Little slippery man, you pretend to be so calm, but you are actually very proud of yourself, right?"

Although Lu Li was indeed a little proud, he did not dare to claim credit at this time. He kept saying: "Everything depends on Your Highness. If it weren't for Your Highness's wisdom and prowess, how could I have accomplished this by myself? This is all the credit of Your Highness."

"Stop trying to flatter me here."

Mu Hongxiu sneered, but she was not displeased. Instead, she stared at Lu Li and said, "This time, not to mention those wealthy families, even the people of the entire imperial capital were fooled by you. You are indeed qualified to be proud."

This is not wrong.

There are at least millions of residents in the imperial capital. As Zhen Guojin's reputation grows, at least nine out of ten of these people will be deceived by Lu Li. Not to mention those aristocratic families who fell short of success, it is absolutely correct to say that these people who bought the town's national gold were fooled by Lu Li.

In fact, it’s more than just walking around

Others don't know the details of Zhenguojin, but Lu Li knows it clearly. In previous lives, this kind of thing was jokingly called the IQ tax. Although those huge sums of money did indeed do a lot of charity and good deeds, the water there was too deep and too many people drowned.

Not to mention the millions of people in the imperial capital, even if it were multiplied several times, they would not be able to make a splash even if they were drowned in the gold of the town.

In order to avoid being beaten to death by the people who knew the truth in the future, Lu Li did not dare to be complacent in this aspect.

"Tell me what your next plan is." After teasing Lu Li, Mu Hongxiu did not forget the purpose of coming to him.

She is not greedy for wealth. If she hadn't gotten angry over the disaster relief funds this time, she would never have interfered with the financial interests of the government.

Therefore, Mu Hongxiu would not be too tempted by the hot potato of Zhenguo Gold, even if it could swallow gold. Once the goal was achieved, it would be better to get rid of this trouble as soon as possible.

Lu Li naturally knew what she meant. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "I wonder what His Highness thinks of other royal palaces and various aristocratic families?"

"Um?"

Mu Hongxiu looked at him unexpectedly and said amusedly: "Do you still want to avenge me?"

She believed that Lu Li had definitely guessed the troubles in Prince Yan's Mansion, but the implications behind those troubles were too deep, and it was impossible for Mu Hongxiu to let Lu Li solve the problem.

But at this moment, Ge Xinyue, who was standing aside, said: "Your Highness, we have repeatedly made concessions in the past, giving others opportunities to take advantage of. Why not listen to what Lu Li has to say? If we can use it, we can take this opportunity to have a good discussion with him." They settle things."

"It's not easy to settle accounts with them in the future." Mu Hongxiu is not optimistic about this.

She is not a weak person, but she is well aware of the turbulent waves behind power. If she really wants to take action, even if she is a strong person at the peak of Mingyou, she must take it into consideration.

What's more, the six kings are gathering in the imperial capital now for that big event. At this juncture, some small quarrels may be okay, but if the quarrel becomes too big, do you really think that His Majesty of the Holy Kingdom is just a showpiece

"Your Highness, what I mean is, who is greedy and would attack Zhen Guojin as soon as possible?" Seeing that she had misunderstood, Lu Li explained: "When Zhen Guojin's profit reaches one billion, this money We don’t keep any money and donate it all to the disaster area. While collecting the relief funds, we also let others know that the national gold is a piece of fat. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a sharp weapon for swallowing gold.”

"Faced with such huge interests, someone will always be tempted, right? So I want to know, who will be tempted and take action immediately?"

Having said this, Lu Li suddenly narrowed his eyes with meaning and looked towards the east.

His hint made Mu Hongxiu laugh and say: "If you want to hint Yuan Jingtao, then say it openly. Is there anyone in my yard who will try to eavesdrop?"

Ge Xinyue also pursed her lips and smiled.

Only then did Lu Li realize that he was still too cautious. He shrugged awkwardly and said, "Your Highness, please be careful when sailing the ten thousand year ship."

"Haha." Mu Hongxiu was noncommittal, and then said: "With your cleverness, you should already have some thoughts about who Yuan Jingtao is, right? Tell me, I want to hear your opinion."
