Lu Gongwang stared blankly at the girl in front of him, almost unable to react for a moment. Feeling the coldness in the girl's beautiful eyes, Lu Gongwang quickly came back to his senses.
"More money is not a problem, but you have to have a measure. I hope the alliance leader won't open his mouth like a lion."
Lu Gongwang asked for 200,000 taels of gold to deal with Liu Zhi'an, one of the four major families. A family famous for money was not Li Yunlong's bottom line, but there was always room for bargaining when doing business, and no one would confide in him at the first opportunity.
The girl didn't speak in a hurry, her phoenix eyes moved slightly, obviously thinking about the appropriate price.
After a long time, the girl narrowed her eyes slightly and poured a cup of tea for Lu Gongwang. She looked at Lu Gongwang with her deep eyes.
"I wonder what price Mr. Lu thinks is appropriate for this little girl?"
Lu Gongwang, who was about to serve tea and say thanks, paused and looked at the girl with cold eyes with complicated eyes.
He didn't expect that the young beauty in front of him had such a cunning mind. She didn't look like a master who caused chaos in the world, but she was as cunning as a businessman.
Instead of making an offer yourself, let yourself make an offer.
In this way, if you open low, you will be unlucky, and if you open high, you will suffer losses.
Judging from the cunningness of this girl's words and conversation, I am afraid that the price I have offered has reached a level that the girl is extremely satisfied with, but she will still show an inappropriate expression.
"It's strange that at such a young age, when it comes to business, he can be as overbearing as an old fox who has been in business for a long time."
"If we can recruit this woman to His Majesty and make her your concubine, it may not be a great help."
After some inner discussion, Lu Gongwang picked up the tea cup and tasted it briefly, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Add another 100,000 taels, and Liu Zhi'an and his son will each get 50,000 taels. Not many people in the world can afford this price. Your Majesty's great cause is not yet stable, so taking out three hundred thousand taels of gold at once is enough to break your Majesty's muscles and bones.
Already."
"I hope the owner will accept it as soon as he sees fit. As long as this cooperation is pleasant, we will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."
"It's our first time working together. How about we all take a step back? How about we show some respect?"
The girl fell silent, and it could be seen from her eyes that she was thinking about the pros and cons.
"The fixed price is 400,000 taels. Mr. Lu should know better than this leader the reward for winning the Liu family. Compared to His Majesty's contribution, it is nothing more than a small thing."
"Master Lu, please don't think that the price offered by our alliance leader is too high. I wonder who else in the world besides the Martial Alliance would dare to accept this deal and suddenly become enemies of the Liu family and his son."
"Not to mention the endless supply of Liu Ye masters. The more than 200,000 soldiers and horses under Liu Mingzhi's command are not idle soldiers. They are elite troops who have just fought hard in the national war."
"This leader of the alliance took over this business, but I would rather live in ruins than in ruins. I have to give the brothers some housing expenses. Otherwise, how can I convince the public in the future?"
Lu Gongwang's face was a little hesitant, and the girl's teeth had exceeded his expectations.
"Leader, this is not silver, but gold. The conversion of 400,000 taels of gold into silver is more than 4 million taels. You must be talking like a lion."
"Yes, this alliance leader knows that this is gold, not silver, but Liu Zhi'an's family fortune is more than four million taels of silver. Ten or four million taels may not be enough."
"Master Lu just said that you must be sincere in doing business."
"This alliance leader has shown enough sincerity. If Mr. Lu feels it is inappropriate, just turn left when you go out."
"Still saying that, who in the world dares to suddenly become an enemy to the leader of a clan and the generalissimo who has nearly 300,000 troops?"
"Which is more important or less important? Mr. Lu will decide for himself."
"this..........."
Lu Gongwang's face hesitated, and he was a little shocked by the thoughts of the young girl in front of him.
This girl has pinched her own lifeline, knowing that His Majesty has now reached an extremely critical moment.
After a long battle between heaven and man in his heart, Lu Gongwang nodded helplessly. Although the price was slightly higher, it was not too outrageous.
Compared with the gains from taking over the Liu family, the gold spent is still worth it.
"Okay, I agree. I will pay half of the deposit first, and the remaining 200,000 taels will be given as promised when the deal is completed."
The girl shook her head resolutely: "No, I'll pay it all in one lump sum and you'll get both money and goods."
Lu Gongwang's face was startled: "I have never done business like this. I paid the money in full, and the leader ran away with the money. What should I do? When doing business for the first time, at least there must be a buffering process."
"Mr. Lu, when you go out, turn left and that's the way down the mountain. Please don't send me far."
Lu Gongwang's face froze, he didn't expect the girl to act so decisively.
Thinking of Li Yunlong's instructions when he came out, Lu Gongwang suddenly felt a little powerless. Only then did he realize that from the moment he stepped onto the mountain gate, he was being led by the girl in front of him.
"It can be paid in one lump sum, but the premise is that the leader of the alliance rushes to the capital within one day to help. This request should not be too much."
"For four million taels of silver, I have to let you see the alliance leader's methods. Brother Liu Ye, who is under Liu Zhi'an, is not an unknown person. Whether the brothers under the alliance leader are worthy of four million taels of silver, I still have to see it with my own eyes.
Reality."
The girl nodded slightly, and the phoenix hairpin on her temples swayed frequently.
"No problem, it's getting late. I'll rush to the capital early tomorrow morning to help. Mr. Lu, please don't dislike the humble house on the mountain. How about staying here for one night?"
"Then we will be entertained by the leader of the labor union."
"Someone is coming!"
One of the black-clad guards standing nearby stepped out and saluted Lu Gongwang.
"grown ups!"
Lu Gongwang waved his hand: "Show the money to the alliance leader."
"yes!"
The man in black nodded to the brothers on the side, and the several boxes placed aside were opened one by one by the man in black. Facing the setting sun, the golden light in the small courtyard was dazzling.
"Fifty thousand taels of gold and one and a half million taels of silver notes."
"How about setting off tomorrow and giving me another two million taels in silver notes?"
The girl glanced at the boxes outside the pavilion and glanced at the middle-aged scribe on the side. The middle-aged scribe nodded and clapped his hands, and dozens of men in fancy clothes leaped over from the surrounding area.
The middle-aged scribe walked to the box containing silver notes and gold bricks and showed a satisfied smile while checking the cup of tea.
"Reporting to the alliance leader, there is no problem."
The girl stood up gently and stretched her slender waist.
"Ting'er!"
"exist."
"The golden eagle conveys the order, the two deputy leaders of Yin and Yang, the people of heaven, earth, and the six guardians of the sun, moon and star."
"Twenty-Eight Constellations Supreme Elder."
"Elder Thirty-Six Tiangang."
"Seventy-two earth evil protectors."
"The leader of the Three Hundred and Sixty Star Dou Branch will lead all the brothers who are sixth-grade masters and above and rush to the capital to obey the orders of our leader."
"Got the order!"
"Ren Hao!"
The middle-aged scribe nodded respectfully.
"My subordinate is here!"
"Take Mr. Lu and all brothers to the guest room to rest!"
"Got the order!"
"Please, Mr. Lu, we will arrive in the capital within half an hour tomorrow morning. Please rest early to avoid delaying important events."
Lu Gongwang nodded silently.
"Thank you, leader, for your hospitality."
After Lu Gongwang left with the middle-aged scribe, Ting'er, the maid next to the girl, hugged the girl's shoulders.
"Xuan'er, didn't my brother-in-law say that you should be free to ask for more? One million taels is not too much, and six hundred thousand taels is not too little. You only have 400,000 taels, isn't it too little?"
The girl gently wiped Ting'er's nose.
"Auntie, you have to look at the other person's face before you act."
"Four hundred thousand taels is enough. If you ask for any more, you won't be able to get it. Li Yunlong is in urgent need of gold and silver, food, grass, soldiers and horses to deal with his elder brother. He will definitely not let us ask for excessive prices."
"It's always good to be content. Four hundred thousand taels is enough to support my elder brother's three hundred thousand soldiers and horses for half a year."
Ting'er nodded silently: "That's right, not everyone is as rich as my brother-in-law... If you are rich and powerful, the more you succeed, the better! We can't be too black-hearted."
"This is not bad. Li Yunlong will be so angry that he will vomit blood if he knows the truth!"
