My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 341 Mysterious Buddhist Temple
"Hello, hello, is this Boss Li? Is your shop still open? Why do you keep closing it every few days?"

"Oh, we were purchasing goods. I was so presumptuous. Boss Li, you do everything by yourself. You are really capable at such a young age!
What's the matter? Hehe, didn't I buy that Huanghuali bracelet in your store a few days ago? It's not a return, please don't misunderstand!

I have a friend who specially asked a master to appraise it, and he found out something amazing: authentic Hainan Huanghuali is very scarce!

No, no, it's not that I don't trust Boss Li. It's just that my friend is nosy and secretly found it behind my back. Personally, I absolutely trust Boss Li!"

"It's like this, my friend wants to buy some too. He's powerful, he's the CEO of a listed company. I'm thinking about those small-leaf red sandalwood artworks I saw in your store last time. Can you please come when it's convenient for you?"

"Okay, okay. I'll come to the store this afternoon. Goodbye, Boss Li. See you then."

After Li Han hung up the phone, he remembered who the caller was. It was a customer who bought bracelets in his store last month. The customer was very wealthy and bought five strings of Huanghuali wood at one go, each costing RMB 20,000.

Before leaving, he asked for Li Han's phone number, saying that he could contact him if he needed anything in the future.

Look, business is coming again!
Such a generous visitor cannot be neglected, Li Han thought. Although he is anxious to find out his parents' secret, he still has to continue doing business, right?

Without trade, there is no income. Without income, where would the funds for Ming Dynasty's industrialization come from? How can Chinese private capital remain at the top of the world forever?
So, buying and selling is the first priority!
But at this time, Li Han was not purchasing any goods, nor did he need to. If he was out of stock, could he just ask Lao Zhu for it?

Moreover, there were plenty of wooden artworks in the warehouse. After more than a year, only about a hundred pieces were sold, and the profit was only a few hundred million.

When the client called just now, he was looking for his father's former college classmates to learn about his parents' past. His father's classmates received him warmly, but the information he got was very limited.

Perhaps the only useful thing is that his father likes to study Ming history, and his mother also likes to study Ming history, and that's how the two came together.

After running around for a few days and contacting several of his father's classmates, but to no avail, Li Han decided to go home first, lest he fail to find out about his parents' affairs and delay his business.

Just as he was about to go back, his cell phone rang again. He took it out and saw that it was Li Momo calling.

"Hey, Li Han, why did you close the door? Where did the person go?"

Listening to Li Momo's somewhat anxious voice on the other end of the phone, Li Han smacked his teeth. There was nothing wrong with what Li Momo said, but why did the tone sound like his wife checking up on him?

"I have something to do outside, what's up, big sister?"

"Why are you running around outside instead of looking after the store? Are you meeting someone?"

Listening to Li Momo's somewhat joking tone, Li Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Before he could open his mouth, he heard Li Momo say:
"I have something urgent to tell you. Since you are not in the store, I will tell you over the phone. Our movie has successfully won the Dragon Mark, and we have also reached an agreement with Penguin Video and Douyin. The total sales amounted to 5 million, and each platform also received a % commission!"

Our movie?
Li Han was stunned, and it took him a long time to realize that it was the movie directed by Zhu Funing. These days, he had been thinking only about his parents' affairs and had completely forgotten about this matter.

However, Li Han also admired Li Momo. Not only did she sell the movie for 50 million, but she could also get a commission. What's more terrifying is that she was able to convince several platforms to buy the movie together. You know, several domestic video platforms have a steely obsession with exclusivity.

I don’t know how Li Momo convinced them.

Although from today's perspective, to make a movie of this quality and this scene, at least several hundred million yuan must be invested, and the main actors in it are all second-rank officials at the lowest level, which would be provincial heads in today's world. Not to mention Xu Da, Zhu Di and other nobles and royal relatives.

So, selling it for 50 million would definitely be a loss!
However, from Zhu Funing's perspective, apart from time, the cost of filming tends to zero. From this perspective, 50 million is pure profit!
"I will divide the money 70:21, and I will transfer your dividend directly to the same bank card as before.

Okay, I won’t talk to you anymore. I still need to ask the fat guy what his bank account number is. I’m hanging up now. You have to treat me to a good meal when the time comes!"

After saying that, Li Momo hung up the phone without waiting for Li Han to speak.

Li Han stared at his phone in a daze. This girl was very efficient and energetic when doing things. She was really a born strong woman!

After returning to the store, Li Han went straight to the warehouse and opened the mailbox. Wow, it was filled with books!

It seems that it was Old Zhu who helped me deliver the "Great Ming Chronicles". Old Zhu is really reliable!
He carefully pulled the books out of the mailbox one by one. Even in the 21st century, these were all precious and unique copies, and their value was comparable to the existing "Yongle Encyclopedia"!

After taking out all the copies of "The Great Ming Chronicle", he discovered that there was a letter and a USB flash drive at the bottom of the mailbox.

It seems that Lao Zhu took pictures of the process of sending the letter to me. In this way, I can find out what Lao Zhu used to send the letter to me in the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps, I can further understand the secret of the mailbox.

At this moment, he suddenly realized another problem, which was the transmission mechanism between the mailbox and the Ming Dynasty.

At first, I thought that as long as there was something in this mailbox, it would be automatically sent to the Ming Dynasty, but this idea was quickly overturned by myself.

Because sometimes I forget to check my mailbox, and the things sent by Lao Zhu have already been in it, and they will not be automatically transmitted back to Daming.

Now it seems that the transmission mechanism will only be activated when one actively puts something in the mailbox. Similarly, it should be the same for Lao Zhu. Only when he actively puts something somewhere will it be automatically transmitted to the 21st century.

In this case, it becomes very important to know what Lao Zhu uses to transmit.

After encoding the "Great Ming Chronicles" one by one, Li Han took the envelope and the USB drive and went to the bedroom. He inserted the USB drive into the computer and then opened the video.

After the screen was turned on, Li Han couldn't help but concentrate, his eyes widened and stared at the video.

Judging from the place in the picture, it should be a temple, but it is much smaller than the average temple. Perhaps it is... a Buddhist hall?
Li Han snapped his fingers. That's right, Zhu Yuanzhang was a monk and he still kept the habit of chanting Buddha's name. Otherwise, in the original history, after Empress Ma passed away, he would not have asked the princes to invite monks to chant scriptures and pray for Empress Ma.

It seems that the Buddhist temple in the picture should be the one that Zhu Yuanzhang used specifically for chanting sutras in the imperial palace.

But why did Lao Zhu take a photo of the Buddhist temple for himself to see?

He saw a Buddhist table in front of the Buddha statue, and then he saw Zhu Yuanzhang placing book after book on the table.

Li Han took a closer look and couldn't help but get excited. Isn't that the "Great Ming Chronicle" that he asked Zhu for?
