Chapter 349 What is it that is cheap for outsiders?
Ming Jing also delivered the red mushroom to the door, and then handed the Chunxueyuan sign to the concierge: "This is the new maid in the girl's yard. The girl asked her to go out to do something."
When the concierge saw that she had brought the person here in person, he saw the sign and let the person go.
Russula received the errand, took the money for daily use, and left in a leisurely manner.
Ming Jing saw her leaving and was about to go back when he saw a carriage stopping at the door. The person reached out to lift the curtain of the carriage, unfolded the folding fan in his hand, and then stepped out wearing a pair of boots embroidered with auspicious clouds.
A noble man wearing a royal blue robe and a gold crown came out of the carriage.
Ming Jing looked up at the sky silently, feeling that the cold wind was a bit strong and she felt a little cold.
Maybe she really doesn't understand the mentality of these gentlemen holding a fan in the middle of winter.
"Hey! Ming Jing! Why are you here?" The visitor shouted in surprise.
Seeing this, it was too late for Ming Jing to leave, so he had to step forward and salute: "Greetings to the Third Young Master, my servant is here to see me off."
The door of Xie's house is not something you can just think about. Girls who want to go out need to get the consent of their elders. Generally, the elders will not stop them unless they go there every day.
And the personal maids trusted by the master, such as Ming Xin Ming Jing, can go out with a sign, and the likes of Red Mushrooms are not purchased by the mansion. If they want to go out, someone needs to take her to the door.
Xie Yu said, "Are you going to do something for your little aunt?"
Ming Jing nodded: "That's right. The girl asked her to go out to do some errands. If nothing happens, the third young master and the servant will go back to Chun Xueyuan first."
After saying that, she gave a slight salute and walked back. When Xie Yu came back to his senses, she had turned around and disappeared. He quickly caught up with her, "Hey, wait a minute, I will go with you."
Go, I also have something to talk to my little aunt about!"
Xie Yixiao felt relieved after hearing about the affairs of the Duke of Qin and the Zheng family, and had the idea to continue drinking tea and reading travel notes.
She has read a lot of travel notes, cookbooks and other books these days, recording down information that can be used, and then integrating her own knowledge into it, so that she can use her knowledge unconsciously.
She was reading a book when she heard someone talking outside.
"Ming Jing, is my aunt's business in Xizi Pavilion going well?"
"Ming Jing, is my little aunt in good health recently? Is she eating well?"
Ming Jing listened and occasionally answered a few words, but his tone was still gentle and polite.
Xie Yixiao raised her eyebrows, how could she not know that Xie Yu cared about her so much?
Although Xie Yu was indeed very kind to her little aunt, if he was needed for anything and he was asked to help, he would always be there and would never refuse.
But after all, he is a half-grown boy, and he does not have such a delicate mind. If he wants to care about her daily life in detail, he certainly does not have it.
She put down the book and looked up to see two people walking in one after another. Then she smiled and asked Xie Yu: "Why are you here?"
Ming Jing gave a slight salute, then stepped aside and let someone serve tea.
"Little aunt." Xie Yu found a seat and sat down, then spread the fan in his hand and fanned himself a few times in a graceful manner, "I just talked with Cao Jiankong about the cavalry team."
"Cao Jiankong?" Xie Yixiao wondered where he had heard this name before, but he suddenly remembered it. Isn't this Qin Yinqing's fiancé?
Prince Cao asked Cao Jiankong to handle this matter?
"Fourth Young Master Cao?"
"It's him." Xie Yu closed his fan with a subtle expression, "I used to think that people are stupid because of reading, but they are a bit smart."
Xie Yixiao laughed when he heard this: "Don't always think that you are the only smart person in the world and everyone else is stupid. You will suffer a loss sooner or later. From your tone, it seems that the conversation is not very good?"
Xie Yu slapped his thigh and snorted coldly: "Then Cao Si wants 40%! They are just providers. I will be in charge of everything in the future. They dare to ask for 40%. What a beautiful idea!"
Xie Yu really felt that the Cao family's request for 40% was too much. His original intention was 20%. This was for the sake of the Duke Cao's government.
"Even if we have to divide it, what can I do to make it easier for outsiders?"
If it doesn't work out, he can ask his aunt and uncle to cooperate, right? It's easier for outsiders to do what he wants, right?
Xie Yixiao was a little surprised when he heard that 40% was really a bit much, but it wouldn't be impossible if he did something.
So she said: "Forty percent is indeed a bit much, but since he insists on 40%, he can do more. You can let them take care of the horse team and let them be responsible for escorting the goods, while you are responsible for the sales."
"If Cao Guogong's government agrees, we can give them 50% of the capital."
As a horse team, the most important thing is the person who escorts the goods. If Cao Guogong's government is willing to send someone to take care of the horse team, and the Xie family doesn't have to worry about the transportation of the goods, then it would be good to split it 50-50.
Xie Yu did not agree with this. He said: "They also said that the cavalry team can be managed by them, but if the cavalry team is managed by them, wouldn't it become a cooperative relationship? One day in the future, if the other party does not cooperate with me, then
Didn’t I lose everything all at once? It’s not right.”
Duke Cao's government probably had the same idea. They wanted to manage the cavalry and transport the goods themselves, while Xie Yu was responsible for the sales. In this way, each could manage their own affairs and achieve win-win cooperation.
However, Xie Yu did not agree with this division of labor.
He felt that it was best to keep the cavalry in his own hands. Otherwise, if Cao Guogong's government had someone who could cooperate better in the future and stopped cooperating with him, he would be knocked back to his original form and would lose everything.
Cao Jiankong agreed to hand over the person to him, but Cao Guogong's government wanted 40%.
Xie Yu almost quarreled with Cao Jiankong because of this.
Cao Jiankong asked for 40%, and Xie Yu naturally disagreed. This move was just to force Xie Yu to give in and let the people from Cao Guogong's palace manage the cavalry.
When Xie Yixiao heard what he said, she actually came to her senses. Previously, she only thought about the dangers of the cavalry business and let people from Duke Cao's government take care of it. Xie Yu just didn't have to worry about these dangerous things. With such cooperation between the two parties, 50-50 would be extremely good.
Normal.
But similarly, if Xie Yu loses ownership of the horse team, he will also fall into a passive situation.
When times are good now, the two families can discuss things carefully, but once they fall out, or if Duke Cao has a better choice, or even plans to leave him and do it on his own, he may be abandoned. By then, he will have been in business for many years.
, will be lost all at once.
Xie Yixiao frowned, feeling that the management rights of this cavalry team cannot be given to Duke Cao's government.
It was her fault.
If so, she might as well find someone for Xie Yu herself.
