"Haha, haha." As if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, Shen Ao looked up to the sky and laughed, almost to tears.
This behavior fell into the eyes of the eldest princess, making her very puzzled. She did not think that she had said anything wrong or that she had made some joke. She was almost done waiting for Shen Ao to laugh, and she showed a hint of amusement. He asked in an angry tone, "Why is Lord Zhongguo laughing? Is it possible that my words are so laughable?"
The eldest princess was a little angry.
Shen Ao wouldn't care about that much. In contrast, the anger in his heart was even greater. "Your Highness, Princess, I think you misunderstood. What I said is that you take 10% of the profits."
"What?" The eldest princess stood up suddenly without paying attention to her appearance. She pointed a jade finger directly at Shen Ao who was sitting opposite, "You...you are so bold."
As soon as the eldest princess shouted, a series of footsteps sounded in the stairwell leading to the third floor of Shichuan. Soon, several burly men rushed in with daggers, and surrounded Shen Ao without any explanation. A strong one. From the looks of it, it seemed as if just waiting for the master's command, a knife, axe, and ax would come and chop Shen Ao into a pulp.
The battle was not small, and the people coming were indeed murderous. But all of this was not in Shen Ao's eyes.
He is the Duke of the country, and there are only a few people in the entire Daqian Dynasty. Who said he can kill him? Not to mention that he has a relationship with Concubine Zhao when he comes this time. If the eldest princess really kills him , How could Concubine Zhao give up?
How could his uncle, Marquis Zhongcheng, give up?
How could the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty give up? How could they allow members of the royal family to kill the Duke of a country at will? In this case, who would have a sense of security?
It is precisely because of these thoughts that it is not an exaggeration to say that as long as Shen Ao does not do anything offensive to the eldest princess's body, even if she insults the other party in anger, she can only bear it. I will just give myself a beating. Next The killer would never dare.
When it comes to beating yourself up, Shen Ao has just become famous in the poetry club, and it has also given you the face of the eldest princess. If you don't have an absolutely clear reason, do you dare to touch Shen Ao at will?
Now that I have really hit someone, I am afraid that no matter how famous your eldest princess is in future poetry gatherings, not many people will come to attend the appointment, right?
It was precisely after he understood these things and relied on them that he turned a deaf ear to the four big men who came up to him. Instead, he crossed his legs and hummed something that no one else had heard before, as if no one was watching. tune.
At this time, Shen Ao looked so much like a young loser on the street that people couldn't help but want to slap him. The eldest princess was naturally furious, but she really couldn't do anything.
Again, the eldest princess is not good at doing business, but when it comes to political struggles, she can be called an expert. Otherwise, she would not take over the only royal shop in Changlong, the entire country, as the eldest princess. Free from the emperor's suspicion and jealousy.
Whatever Shen Ao could think of and see clearly, she could naturally see clearly too. It was precisely because she knew that the other party was so confident that she felt like she had nowhere to vent her anger.
The eldest princess stood up, her chest rising and falling violently. Not to mention, she still had some scale and capital.
"Huh." As if she had figured it out, the eldest princess's face suddenly turned from black to red, and she waved her jade arms lightly towards the four big men who rushed up to the third floor. Just as the four big men exited, she had already returned. He sat on the chair and said: "It is simply impossible for me to gain 10% of my interests. Duke Zhongguo should still show some sincerity."
The eldest princess, who had extinguished her anger, had regained her sanity. Looking in Shen Ao's eyes, she had to sigh that the woman's face was indeed like the sky in March. That meant it would change. Fortunately, he had seen such things many times. During the negotiation, the former and the two would still call each other brothers and keep in touch with each other. After a while, the quarrel would be turned upside down because of interests, and it would appear that there is only you but not me. If anyone takes these words and this attitude seriously, then You will definitely suffer a big loss.
In line with the business rules of asking for a high price and paying back the money at the drop of a hat, Shen Ao's request for 90% was just a test, and it was also to seize the initiative. He didn't think that his domineering spirit was shaken, and anyone who saw him would be happy to look at him. If you see yourself, you will bow your head and let them do whatever they want.
"Then I'll suffer some losses, and eight or two will be fine."
"No, Qi San, I am Qi San and you are three." The eldest princess turned on the strong woman mode and began to bargain.
"Your Highness, Princess, don't go too far. Except for Guo Changlong, who can bring her back to life, no one can do it. On the contrary, if I don't cooperate with your Guo Changlong, you can also cooperate with other people. That I'm afraid that your living space will only become smaller." Shen Ao said as a reminder. It was necessary for him to tell his own advantages and the opponent's disadvantages. Especially the latter, he wanted his opponent to understand the danger of their situation. It shows that only you can save the other person, so that you can achieve what you want and get the maximum gain at the minimum cost.
The eldest princess naturally understands these truths. Otherwise, she would not give the other party 30% of the profits. This is already a great sincerity for her. After all, Guochanglong does not belong to her, and more profits are needed. Turned over to the treasury and the emperor's brother, even if it is based on Qi San's profit distribution method, what she will get will definitely be much less than Shen Ao.
The eldest princess, who felt that she had given a lot of sincerity, replied without any sign of weakness, "Guo Changlong is in a bad situation, but after all, he is an imperial merchant and has various privileges. The trade routes can even lead to the big cities." Any state, prefecture, county, or township in the Qian Dynasty has put in a lot of effort just to build this trade route. Now that it is used by you, the Duke, don’t you need to pay for it? As for the Duke, you can negotiate with other people. Cooperate, you can give it a try, and I don’t mind letting some people know when the time comes. Women may not be able to succeed sometimes, but they are very good at failing."
When she said this, a smile flashed across the face of the eldest princess, "By the way, I forgot to remind you that as a prince, you are not allowed to do business. Since the dynasty has given you a salary, how can you allow it?" How about doing business by yourself to expand your own strength? However, this is not the case when managing Guo Changlong. This is an imperial businessman and is recognized by the country. If you come here, you can be given a position. It will also be said to the outside world, and no one will point fingers. , I’m afraid this is something that no other businessman can do.”
In a very short period of time, the eldest princess put forward these two extremely important points. Although there was no change in Shen Ao's face, she knew in her heart that it would be difficult to win more profits. Just as the eldest princess said , if he is really targeted and the eldest princess wants to ruin his own business, he really doesn't have the strength to resist.
Not to mention that he was doing business as a prince. Without the permission of the royal family, just the rumors of impeachment were enough to overwhelm him. At that time, if the emperor issued a decree, he could confiscate everything according to the law of the Great Qian. My property is really like that, I can't even find a place to cry.
"Fifty-five, this is the limit." Shen Ao began to give in. "Guo Changlong is not as good as His Highness said. Everyone knows whether the trade route is smooth or not. Well, as long as His Highness the eldest lord agrees, Someone can issue a military order to ensure that Guochanglong's income will at least double from next month."
The eldest princess, who originally wanted to refuse but still insisted on 70-30, opened and closed her mouth after hearing this. Finally, she sighed in her heart and said: "June 4th, if you can, I will issue a military order. If you don't, I will issue a military order." The palace will leave the ship now."
The eldest princess showed a decisive look, obviously she had made up her mind.
"Deal." Shen Ao answered happily. Even the ratio of 6.4 was completely beyond Shen Ao's surprise. His original goal was to guarantee two and hit three, which means that a seven or three opening is already the best. The result of August 2 was acceptable to him, but now it was the result of June 4, so what else could he be dissatisfied with?
Shen Ao agreed so happily. The eldest princess was stunned for a moment, and then a look of sullenness appeared on her face. How could she not see at this time that Shen Ao was very satisfied with the six-fourth share? ?
"It turns out that he is such a cunning little fox. You need to be more careful when interacting with him in the future." The eldest princess reminded herself in her heart.
The cooperation was reached, and the face of the female officer Zhuyun who had been waiting at the table turned into a flower with a smile.
When the eldest princess and Shen Ao were arguing, she didn't say a word. It was Zhuyun who felt that she couldn't interrupt, and her identity would not allow her to interrupt at this time.
Needless to say, the eldest princess is the emperor's biological sister. She is her master. How dare she say anything without her master?
As for Shen Ao, first his poems were astonishing, and then his explanation of business made Zhu Yun understand the huge gap between the two. Facing this great talent, she respected You Jia and did not dare to act casually. Use words to slander.
Ever since Shen Ao told those business insights, Zhu Yun already had a feeling that such talents must be used by the eldest princess. At least cooperation must be achieved, which is a win-win situation.
The result was just as expected, the cooperation was really successful. Thinking that from now on the master would not have to worry about the prosperity of the country, Zhuyun's heart was filled with joy. At this moment, he was busy pouring tea and water. Almost.
At the tea table, the two parties agreed that Shen Ao would take over Guochanglong in Daliang City tomorrow, and Zhuyun would also hand over all the accounts, as well as dozens of large and small people who belonged to Guochanglong. Workshop.
When Shen Ao made goat milk soap before, he always borrowed Zhao's workshop. But he didn't share the slightest profit. It wouldn't be a problem if it continued like this. Now that he has Guo Changlong's workshop, it couldn't be better. .Sometimes it’s hard to repay a favor.
By the time Shen Ao left Shichuan, the housekeeper Zhao Xing had become familiar with Zhuyun, and the handover matters would ultimately have to be carried out by the two of them. Shen Ao would not do everything, he would do the following. Carry out specific division of labor on various matters, and he only needs to be in charge.
