Du Qi personally stepped forward, took out the down jacket, and put it on for Li Yuan. There are no zippers in this era, so buttons can only be used, and they are Chinese-style buckles. Only in this way can they be beautiful and generous, and the chest will not be exposed.
When Li Yuan put on his down jacket, he immediately felt warmer. After all, the duck down in the down jacket is extremely easy to keep warm and can generate a lot of heat.
Especially this down jacket is long, it has exceeded the knee.
Li Yuan wore it on his body, and it fit just right.
Du Qidao: "Your Majesty, although this down jacket is quite different from other clothes, it can keep you warm in winter. Therefore, your Majesty can wear it on your body except for formal meetings with courtiers, etc. This is the first down jacket. I asked someone to make it according to your majesty's figure, and I will make more clothes for your majesty later, so that your majesty can keep warm."
"Okay, okay, good boy!"
Li Yuan stood up and walked back and forth twice without feeling the slightest chill. However, Li Yuan is an elderly person who is afraid of the cold, so in the Ganlu Hall, there is a brazier to burn charcoal fire to dispel the cold and keep warm.
After a while, Li Yuan felt a little hot all over his body. After all, it was extremely warm in the hall, and Li Yuan felt a little feverish, so he strode out and came to the outside of Ganlu Hall.
In the weather at the end of October, the cold wind hits the face, blowing the face like a knife.
Very uncomfortable.
Especially when the cold wind blows into the neck, it is extremely uncomfortable. But the collar of the down jacket is a high collar, and there is a hat behind it, which can cover the face and so on.
If it was the usual, standing outside the main hall, Li Yuan must be so cold that his body was tight and uncomfortable. But now, Li Yuan didn't feel cold at all, but felt extremely comfortable.
This temperature is just right.
Very comfortable.
"well!"
Li Yuan praised: "Erlang, you have a heart. I accept this down jacket."
Du Qidao: "Your Majesty thinks it's easy to use. In fact, if Your Majesty feels a little cold, you can put on another vest, and you can also tie up the leggings, which can help Your Majesty keep warm. In short, this winter, Your Majesty, You don¡¯t need to worry about the invasion of cold, you can spend the winter safely.¡±
Li Yuan said: "Good boy!"
At this moment Li Yuan, the more he looks at Du Qi, the more he feels relieved, Du Erlang is just fine.
I was thinking about him.
It's not like his sons, who are busy fighting for power and profit, and grabbing the right to speak in the court. In particular, these people didn't make him feel at ease, it was Du Qi who made him like it.
Li Yuan changed his mind, and suddenly said: "Erlang, you have always been in the Three Treasures Hall for everything. You have always had good things, and you must be inseparable from making money. Tell me, you have made down jackets, do you plan to open a store again? , ready to make money."
"Your Majesty is holy!"
Du Qi said with a smile: "Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch, and I admire you. This time, I really plan to get involved in another industry. The tea shop is tea, the restaurant is the catering industry, the bookstore is cultural, and this down jacket is clothing."
"This industry is bound to explode."
"It will definitely make a lot of money."
"After all, dressing is something that everyone needs. And for different people, there are different clothes. For example, this down jacket of His Majesty is the best duck down stuffing."
Du Qi continued: "Here alone, a hundred ducks and cats can't make a down jacket. This kind of down jacket can only be used by princes and nobles, and can only be used by wealthy businessmen."
"As for middle-level families, or ordinary people, there will be worse down jackets."
"Although the quality is worse, the price is also lower."
"But it can keep warm."
"In short, this down jacket will definitely satisfy the people of the entire Tang Dynasty, and it will surely allow all the people to keep warm and not be afraid of the severe cold."
Du Qi talked eloquently, looking expectant.
For him, in fact, at this point now, he doesn't care much about making money. On the contrary, now, when it can benefit the people and make more money, it is the best to make people's lives gradually better.
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes, and said: "Erlang, your boy mentioned all these things, and also talked about how to make money. Tell me, what is your request?"
Du Qi said again: "Your Majesty is still wise!"
Li Yuandao: "You kid has always been in the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, but no one can compare to you in making money. So you featherServing, it must be to make money. "
Du Qidao: "I really can't hide it from your Majesty, but what I think is that when the Tang Dynasty was first established, the country was not easy, especially your Majesty's internal treasury was not abundant. After all, the entire Tang Dynasty was frugal, so the down jackets that I wanted to sell were given to His Majesty for free. Thirty percent of the net profit. Although this profit will not make His Majesty so rich, at least the expenses in His Majesty's palace are no problem."
Li Yuan pondered for a while, and continued: "I'm afraid you must have some requirements for the benefits you give me."
"yes!"
Du Qi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, we need to rely on your image for this matter. The only thing we have is to publicize it to the outside world, saying that it is good for His Majesty to wear it, and that the down jacket is approved by His Majesty. That's all, there will be no more other publicity."
"OK, no problem!"
After Li Yuan thought about it, this is not a big problem.
What's more, you get 30% of the profit for nothing.
Li Yuan suddenly said: "Erlang, your kid gets 70% of the profit, while I only get 30% of the profit. Isn't such an arrangement a bit inappropriate!"
Du Qidao: "Your Majesty is in awe!"
Li Yuan said: "How to say?"
Du Qi said solemnly: "Actually, with His Majesty's sageness, you can understand after a little thought. Think about it, making a down jacket requires countless labors, especially recruiting many women, so they can do needlework."
"In addition, people need to buy duck feathers, and then process the duck feathers, and also have to disinfect and deodorize, otherwise the down jacket will be uncomfortable to wear, and it will also make people sick."
"The sales of down jackets, as well as the need for shops, etc., all require expenses. All of them are a lot of expenses. What's more, I have never been alone, and I must recruit people to join the business, and I have to share the profits equally. "
"His Majesty owns 30% of the shares, which is actually the largest share."
Du Qi said: "At the end of the day, I can own 20% of the shares, which is pretty good."
When Li Yuan thought about it this way, it seemed that this was the truth. He heard that Du Qi's restaurants and tea shops are all owned by many people and run together.
Li Yuan thought for a while, and said: "In this case, it is enough for me to own 20% of the shares."
Du Qidao: "Your Majesty, there is no need for it. I have other industries, and I am not short of money. The reason why I opened this down jacket is that the biggest idea is to let the people make money by recruiting workers, and let the people make money, so that the people don't have to worry about it." Invaded by the cold winter. Regarding the issue of money, I don't have any ideas, after all, now I don't lack food and clothing."
Li Yuan nodded and said: "Not bad, not bad!"
He just admired Du Qi's mentality.
No desires, no desires.
And wholeheartedly for the people.
How can such a kid not be liked?
With a bright smile on Li Yuan's face, he said: "Erlang, I never take the initiative to write inscriptions for others. Last time, I gave you a pair of poems and books to pass on to the family. It was you who invited me. This time, you want to make an inscription. What is the name of the down jacket, I personally inscribed a pair of them for you, as the treasure of your store."
Xiao Li, who had been waiting on the side all the time, raised his eyebrows when he heard Li Yuan's words, and a shocked expression appeared on his old face.
Li Yuan wrote the inscription himself, which is not easy.
Du Erlang's favor is unparalleled in the world, and no one can compare with Du Erlang.
