Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

"Your Majesty, our Wang family is willing to do anything for the imperial court."

Wang Tian finally heard a correct word from Ning Fan, and he was immediately excited. For the Wang family, profit is the most important thing. As for who has the final say, it doesn't matter at all.

What's more, Wang Tian also knew very well that competing with the imperial court for the right to speak was seeking death.

It is already a huge honor for the Wang family that the imperial court can allow a private business family to participate in the planning of the country's future. The Wang family has accumulated a huge amount of wealth over the years, but they cannot spend the money, which is also for the players. A place of distress.

The Wang family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and these hundreds of years have gone through several dynasty changes. Every time the dynasty changes, the Wang family will have a big loss of income. The Wang family's wealth will be given away by local officials every time. Harvest.

After being bullied time and time again, and summing up experience time and time again, the Wang family finally realized that if they wanted to be strong forever and pass it on to the family forever, they must get close to the imperial power and use it.

"I have accepted these 60 million taels of silver, but it is not for nothing. I can sell the cement patent to your Wang family. From now on, your Wang family can also produce cement like the imperial government. "

Ning Fan directly revealed his trump card to Wang Tianliang.

Hearing what Ning Fan said, Wang Tian was immediately stunned. He had only heard of cement before, but had never seen it before. However, he also sent people to investigate and got the answer that cement was very magical. It is in powder form, but once it encounters water and sand, it will slowly solidify. After solidification, its strength is amazing.

No matter it is built with cement, everything is extremely strong, so the Wang family also sees huge business opportunities. If Dakang's economy continues to prosper, the amount of cement used in the future will be immeasurable.

It's a pity that the proportion and manufacturing method of cement have always been firmly controlled by the imperial court, and the Wang family can only drool and have no way to intervene.

But what Wang Tian didn't expect was that Ning Fan would be so generous. Just because the Wang family spent 650 million taels of silver, he generously gave all the cement formula and manufacturing technology to the Wang family.

"Your Majesty, the cement manufacturing technology is top secret. The Wang family would never dare to get involved. Please take your Majesty back."

On the one hand, Wang Tian was very excited when he heard that Ning Fan said that he would give the cement manufacturing technology to the Wang family, because he understood that once he mastered the cement manufacturing technology, the Wang family's wealth would increase rapidly like a snowball. In the next five years, , the Wang family's wealth will be increased five times on the current basis.

But at the same time, Wang Tian was a little panicked, because once the Wang family obtained the cement technology, it would be equivalent to competing with the court for profits. Wang Tian had no confidence in whether the court would eradicate them.

"Wang Tian, ​​are you afraid that I will renege on my promise, or that the court will be jealous if your Wang family makes money? I tell you that such a big fortune has a huge market and will have a huge demand in the future. It only relies on the court to produce cement. If so, when will ordinary people be able to use cement? But your Wang family is different. With a big business, you can continue to produce to dilute the cost and drive down the price of cement."

Ning Fan simply explained the problem more thoroughly so that Wang Tian could understand it.

Wang Tian was worthy of being a traveling businessman, and he was also the future successor of the Wang family. He was extremely smart. Ning Fan only had to say it once, and Wang Tian could hear clearly and understand.

"Your Majesty, I understand that the Wang family is willing to accept your Majesty's reward for this cement production technology, but our Wang family has a condition, that is, 30% of the profits from the Wang family's cement production will be given to the court in the future."

Wang Tian stretched out three fingers and continued to observe Ning Fan's expression.

If Ning Fan showed any slight expression of dissatisfaction or anger, Wang Tian would immediately change the number to seven.

In other words, the Wang family had discussed it before, and they were even willing to hand over 70% of the profits to the court.

When Ning Fan heard what Wang Tian said, he quickly shook his head: "Don't think it is shameful for merchants to make profits, and don't think the court will hate the Wang family because of this. Your Wang family's business has promoted the circulation of goods in Dakang and promoted the The economy is booming, I’m so grateful to you before it’s too late, how could I be jealous of the money you make?”

"But one thing I want to tell you in advance is that the Wang family has earned a lot of silver. This silver is not allowed to be poured into the ground, and you are not allowed to smelt it!"

"I have only one request for your Wang family, and that is that the money your Wang family earns must be invested."

Ning Fan said to Wang Tian.

In fact, the situation now is very obvious. Wang Tian will be the future heir of the Wang family. The future of the Wang family can only be decided by Wang Tian. Therefore, the discussion between Ning Fan and Wang Tian is the future direction of the cooperation between the two parties.

"Your Majesty, ordinary people have never been clear about what you mean by investment?"

Wang Tian looked at Ning Fan with curiosity. He always felt that Ning Fan was an enigmatic emperor. Although he was young, he had a calm temperament and a pair of eyes as bright as stars, which seemed to reflect everything in the world.

"Let me tell you this, if you have a tofu shop, but your funds are very limited and you can't afford workers, so you can only run this tofu shop and make a small amount of money every day, and the money you make is only enough for you. The family of three is just eating, drinking and having diarrhea.”

"But one day a kind man came and was willing to spend a thousand taels to help you hire workers, expand your factory, and open two branches of your business."

"But, he asked for 70% of the profit from your store, but you calculated it and you still made a profit. This is called investment."

The topics Ning Fan talked about were profound and simple, and Wang Tian quickly understood what investment was. Investment is to use money to let others make money with their own money, and then get a share of it.

"Your Majesty, why don't you like our Wang family to save money? In fact, many businessmen in Dakang have this habit. Once the money they make cannot be used up, they will smelt it all and bury it in In the cellar, so that when future generations encounter difficulties, the money can help them tide over the difficulties."

Wang Tian didn't understand, so he quickly asked Ning Fan because he found that Ning Fan seemed to be in a good mood today and was more willing to explain some doubts.

"Actually, the reason is very simple. We in Dakang only have so much money in total. If you bury a lot of money in the cellar, then there will be much less money on the market."
