Zhao Hao was so smart that he could see Princess Yongning’s thoughts at a glance.
He immediately said calmly: "Your Highness, please don't think that I have really suffered any loss."
"Actually, the reason I opened this restaurant is not because I want to make a lot of money."
"The main thing is that I want to make it so that I can have a place to eat delicious food."
“It has little to do with money.”
"Now that His Highness is involved, it won't affect me."
"I'm not really a businessman, so I don't take money too seriously."
Upon hearing this, Princess Yongning's beautiful eyes flickered and she nodded seriously.
"Okay, Zhao Hao, thank you very much this time!"
"Then how much do you think is appropriate for the Imperial Treasury to invest in?"
Zhao Hao thought for a moment and said, "Let's just say 50%. What do you think, Your Highness?"
Princess Yongning quickly shook her head.
"No, 50% is too much. I think 30% is good enough!"
Thirty percent of the shares. If the business of the first floor continues to be so hot, I can make about fifteen strings of cash a day.
That’s four hundred and fifty strings of cash a month.
That’s a lot.
He was originally taking advantage of Zhao Hao.
If they hold 50% of the shares, it would be too inhumane.
Zhao Hao smiled softly.
"Your Highness, just do as I say. The Imperial Treasury will take 50% of the shares. This shop was originally given to me by His Majesty, so it is normal for the Imperial Treasury to take a larger share. Your Highness should not refuse."
"The treasury is very short of money right now. If there is only 30% of it, I'm afraid it won't be able to solve many problems."
Since you have already agreed, why not be more generous and maximize the benefits?
Princess Yongning was moved when she heard this: "Zhao Hao, I really don't know what to say when you do this."
Zhao Hao said quickly: "Your Highness, there is no need to say anything. I still say that you think highly of me by looking for me."
Princess Yongning nodded: "Thank you!"
Zhao Hao smiled and waved his hand, walked to the desk, and started writing the contract directly.
As Zhao Hao wrote, he said, "Your Highness, if you are really short of money, I'm afraid that the income from the First Floor alone will not quench your thirst."
Princess Yongning smiled bitterly.
"There is no other way. We can only make do with what we have for now. When the tax comes in next spring, we will be able to get some of the money from Neichang. Then the situation should be better."
I don’t know why, but when Zhao Hao saw the other person like this, he actually felt a little bit unbearable.
He rolled his eyes and said, "Your Highness, if you really want to make money, there are still many ways to do it. You don't have to wait for money from the court."
"And I think that the treasury should not take money from the court. The court's money should be used for state affairs."
Princess Yongning smiled bitterly and nodded.
"You are right. Normally, the court's money should be used for state affairs."
"But the royal family can't die. There's no other way. The gap between the royal family's assets and the total population is too big."
The royal family naturally has industry.
And there are quite a few.
However, compared with the total number of royal family members, the profits generated by those industries are just a drop in the bucket when distributed to each individual.
Therefore, the internal treasury has always been subsidized by the court's tax revenue.
certainly.
If there is something happening in the country, like the previous battle of Mubei City, the treasury will also take money out to deal with the affairs of the court first.
In short, both the imperial court and the treasury were short of money.
Princess Yongning's beautiful eyes suddenly flashed and she looked at Zhao Hao.
"What did you just say?"
“There are many ways to make money…”
"Could it be that you have a solution?"
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Your Highness, I dare not say anything else, but when it comes to making money, I do have a way."
Upon hearing this, Princess Yongning said excitedly, "Do you really have a solution? Then tell me now!"
Zhao Hao said, "Your Highness should know that I invented tofu before, right?"
Princess Yongning nodded: "I know this. It is now very popular in the capital and everyone knows it."
She was very smart and guessed what Zhao Hao was going to say with just a glance of her beautiful eyes.
"You mean, expand the scale of that tofu?"
Zhao Hao gave a thumbs up.
"Your Highness is right. I make very little tofu every day now."
"And the entire Imperial Capital has a population of 600,000. How much tofu do we need to supply them?"
"Besides, tofu can actually be prepared in other ways. It can be made into dried tofu or bean curd skin, both of which are delicious."
"I will give the method to Your Highness, and Your Highness will arrange for someone to make it."
"Then we can set up sales locations all over the capital and make a few hundred strings of cash a day. It should be easy."
Upon hearing this, Princess Yongning was so excited that her breathing became rapid.
She looked at Zhao Hao and said, "You mean, are you willing to teach me the method of making tofu?"
If that's the case, then the gift is too heavy.
It's not that she doesn't understand business.
Of course we know how much value tofu can create once its scale is expanded.
Zhao Hao nodded.
"Of course, Your Highness may not know that the reason I started making tofu was to save some money to open a restaurant."
"I didn't expect Lu Huairen to send me a hundred strings of cash, so I won't be able to use the money."
"But since I've already done it, and so many people like to eat it, I haven't stopped."
"I'll hand over the production method to Your Highness now, so I don't have to do it myself."
Hearing him say this, and saying it so calmly, Princess Yongning felt extremely complicated.
Taking a deep breath, she said seriously, "Zhao Hao, I didn't expect you to be so open-minded. I... really don't know what to say."
Zhao Hao smiled softly and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to say anything. It is my honor to be able to solve some problems for His Majesty and His Highness!"
"In this way, you can always send someone to my house to learn how to make tofu."
"If there is anything unclear, feel free to come and find me."
"By the way, I will write down the method of making dried tofu skin for Your Highness right now."
Princess Yongning said, "Zhao Hao, I think we can form a partnership in this tofu business. You provide the production method, and I will provide the people to make and sell it."
"We split it fifty-fifty."
"What do you think?"
While writing down the recipe, Zhao Hao said with a smile, "Your Highness, I don't think it's necessary. Aren't you short of money now?"
Princess Yongning shook her head.
"No matter how short of money we are, I cannot let you suffer such a huge loss. Just listen to me. This matter is settled."
Seeing her firm attitude, Zhao Hao agreed.
"In that case, then I will listen to your Highness."
As he spoke, he blew the ink on the paper, folded the paper, stood up and handed it over.
Princess Yongning took it and said seriously, "Zhao Hao, thank you!"
Zhao Hao waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to do this. If I want to make money, there are many ways to do it."
"There is one right now. Your Highness, are you interested in going with me to take a look?"
