Li Mu said this and observed the expressions of everyone. He could clearly realize that many people were going to make suggestions. He was just waiting because he didn't want to be the first one, and if someone stood up at this time, they would immediately be connected.

Li Mu smiled and said, "I know, maybe someone will think at this time. Li Mu, why are you? You didn't pay money or work, the mine is not yours, the salt is not yours, and people are not yours, and you want to share the accounts when you move your mouth. How can you do such a good thing in the world?"

Many people nodded subconsciously, and Li Mu's words expressed their thoughts.

Li Mu smiled even more. He spread his hands and said, "I am not surprised to have this idea. In this way, let's talk about this incident... From now on, whether it is Datang Salt Industry or Datang Mining Industry, it has nothing to do with me, Li Mu, and I quit. What do you think?"

No one spoke, it was obvious that this was an unrealistic thing. Such a large business won over nearly half of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty and had visible huge profits. Giving up is impossible. But if you don’t want to give up, Li Mu is indispensable, because no one knows what to do except him.

Li Mu was still modest and said, "Actually, it would be okay without me. I have taught you how to set up a company. Just do it, why bother me to share the account? I am a useless person..."

"Li Mu," Changsun Wuji interrupted Li Mu's words and said, "Don't say anything sarcastic. Everyone knows the strength you put in. This business will not be possible without you. You want to share the profits, say a number, and discuss it. If it is reasonable, no one will disagree."

The meaning of the words is to stop when it is enough.

But Li Mu has never been a person who knows how to stop. He is good if he doesn’t have a chance. If he does, he must achieve his goals, otherwise he might as well not do it! He has been laying the foundation for salt and mine for so long and cannot achieve the goals he sets. How can he compromise?

Li Mu took the words of Changsun Wuji and said, "Since the uncle of the country has spoken, I will continue to speak out. When I said this just now, many people must have moved in their hearts, thinking that without me, Li Mu, things can be done. But smart people will find that it is not possible without me, Li Mu. Because no one knows how to do it, why is this happening?"

"I'll tell you the answer." Li Mu drew a circle on rice paper and said, "This circle is like this business. The bigger the circle, the greater the profit. The profit is divided by everyone here, but everyone should know one thing. I am the person who draws this circle. If I hadn't drawn this circle, there would be nothing, and this is my value."

At the same time, Li Mu did not forget Li Shimin, and then a complimented him, saying, "Maybe someone would think, Li Mu, where are you put Your Majesty in such a arrogant way? Please be honest, I am a circle drawing person, but this paper and pen were given by Your Majesty. Now everyone can understand why I must set rules. Can't the ownership of the company be handed over to any shareholder?"

Two metaphors are very appropriate and intuitive. Although it sounds uncomfortable, it is so refuting.

Li Mu continued to say: "I am just speaking out in business. I just said that I am a consistent person in doing things. The meaning is that my cooperation with you is the same as my cooperation with Uncle Cheng. I came up with ideas, 10% and used my secret method, 10% and asked me to participate in the business. 10% and totaled 30%. I set rules for myself that as long as it is a cooperative business, I will not occupy more than 30% of the profits. So, no matter what business I intervenes in, it will be at most 30%.

30%! Pure profit!

This is something that everyone cannot accept, especially Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui. As the largest shareholders of Datang Salt Industry and Datang Mining, their families have invested 340,000 pounds of capital. In the end, Li Mu has not spoken much, which is unacceptable.

Just as the two were about to talk, Li Mu said, "Of course, although the rules I set myself are like this. However, it is not unrelated."

Hearing this, no one who wanted to speak did anything rashly, waiting for Li Mu to finish his words.

"First of all, because of the well-known things, I owe you a favor. Especially the uncle and Wang Shizhong, I owe you two great favors. The boy has promised before that he will definitely repay this favor. Therefore, 10% of the idea was erased!"

Everyone felt relieved and looked at Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui with gratitude. One percent of the net profit. If Li Mu said, a profit of two million yuan a year would be 200,000 yuan! This is a lot of money! It would be wiped out as soon as possible. This favor is really valuable!

Feeling these gazes, Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui were very complicated. They were both happy that Li Mu was willing to give such a great face, and at the same time felt very distressed. After all, the pure profit given by Li Mu did not fall into their own pockets, but wanted to share the debt with others. At the same time, Li Mu had already stated that this was a favor, which means that if the money and goods were paid, he would no longer owe favors.

If you agree, you will suffer a loss, but if you don’t agree, it is impossible. As leaders of their respective camps, if they only care about their own interests, who can listen to them in the future?

"Take this part away, according to the current situation, I should account for 20% of the Tang Dynasty's Salt Industry and 10% of the Tang Dynasty's Salt Industry. 20% of the Tang Dynasty's Salt Industry is because I need my secret method, but Datang Mining does not need it."

"Don't think that I, Li Mu, valued this money, and it wouldn't be possible without this money. Let me tell you the truth, I treat money as dirt."

As soon as this statement came out, discussions suddenly broke out. What a sarcastic saying, you treat money as dirt, and you still need so much?!

Li Mu pressed his hands for a moment and said, "I knew that I told the truth. You will definitely react like this. But please believe me, that's true. Think about it, what's the use of asking for money? I only have a few people in my family, how much can I spend with my strength?" He glanced at the corner where Li Shimin was and said, "No one here is outsiders, so it's okay to say it out. A few days ago, I was in the prison and collected the little benefits. Before it was heated, I confiscated it to Your Majesty. Why do you think I want money, right?"

Wang Pu has been familiar with Li Mu these days and interrupted with a smile: "Since the Marquis doesn't care about money, why not just ask for it, and let the shareholders share more."

This statement immediately received everyone's response. Right, since you don't love money, don't ask for it?

"No, no!" Li Mu said solemnly: "Everyone, you don't understand my ideas. I want money, but I actually want to tell everyone that you must respect those who do you work. Because with those who do you work, you can make profits for you and achieve the goals you want. Maybe everyone will think that slaves can do things, and you don't have to give them money, just give them some food. But if you think about it carefully, you will find that what slaves can do cannot solve your important problems. For example, why does Your Majesty want to worship the prime minister in the court? Why does the king salute to the prime minister? This is the same principle. Because the wise king knows the importance of ruling over the country and the country. Being a prime minister is a kind of respect. The same is true for talents. I, Li Mu, said bluntly, is a talent. No, to be precise, I am a genius!"

"I serve Your Majesty, and the monarch treats me as a marquis. You are not as good as Your Majesty. Do you still want to be silent?"

This is extremely arrogant, but it is true. The discussion gradually became less and less. Li Mu continued: "Don't think I want more, but in fact I want very little. Because no matter it is salt or mine, from the end, I am working hard. If I hadn't convinced Your Majesty, you would not have gotten such a big profit. Moreover, without my salt making method, the Tang Dynasty's salt industry did not even have the premise of existence. I also want to tell all the shareholders of the Tang Dynasty's salt industry that salt is the foundation of the country. Your Majesty's original idea was to be monopolized by the court, and I advise Your Majesty to give it to you. Why do I do this? Because I remember a sentence in my heart. The Holy Emperor does not compete for profit with the people. From Your Majesty's perspective, you are all people. Your Majesty gives the interests to you, and you should remember Your Majesty's kindness."

Li Mu said, sighing and said, "And I am so grateful to the emperor, and I can't repay you. I can only contribute my research and inventions at a very low price. I don't seek benefits, but only seek to make things happen. I'm also for you. Can you say that I have achieved this level and you are not satisfied? If this is true, then I have to let go. I can't spend much money anyway, so it's enough to earn some at will!"

Li Mu said this to this point, even if the dissatisfied person dared not speak. Li Mu's temper was moody. If he got angry and really let go, it would be no more of a loss.

Things settled, and Li Mu took out the contract that had been prepared long ago, and asked all the shareholders to sign and seal the contract. While everyone was busy pressing the fingerprints, Li Mu did not forget to draw a big pie and said, "I, Li Mu, are a lazy person and don't like doing things. Just like Uncle Cheng's horse farm, after his shopkeeper became familiar with him and could manage it clearly, I returned the 10% business to him. The same goes for the future. When you think that the company's business cannot use me, I will return this profit and I can also leave it free!"
