As soon as he walked out of the Lin family's door, Cui Zhifeng couldn't help but ask: "Sister, is it possible to let it go like this?"
Cui Yuxiu said calmly: "Of course we can't just forget it. The rest will be left to other companies."
"Leave it to other companies? Aren't we going to participate?" Cui Zhifeng was stunned.
Cui Yuxiu asked: "Do you think other companies can make Lin Xuan give in? If we don't participate, if he can't withstand the pressure, he will naturally come to us."
In fact, what she is most worried about is the methods Lin Xuan mentioned. If the method of making colored glaze is not obtained, and Lin Xuan really has the method of making sea salt and sugar, it will be a huge blow to the Cui family.
She wanted to see how Lin Xuan dealt with the other companies first.
Cui Zhifeng didn't know this and thought Cui Yuxiu wanted to reap the benefits, so he praised: "Sister, you are so smart!"
"Let's go back first." Cui Yuxiu shook his head, not wanting to say anything more to this idiot brother.
Cui Yuxiu and Cui Zhifeng arrived at a manor in a carriage.
As soon as he walked in, Cui Hao came over and asked, "How is it? Did Lin Xuan agree?"
Cui Yuxiu shook her head and said, "Uncle Lin Xuan, he refused."
"Then what should we do now? According to the agreement, if we can't handle it, other companies can intervene." Cui Hao said anxiously.
In order to convince other companies and gain the upper hand, they paid a high price.
According to the agreement, if they can't convince Lin Xuan at once, other companies can participate, and it won't be a violation. They have to pay what they promised.
Cui Zhifeng said proudly: "It doesn't matter, sister has already made the plan."
Then he told Cui Hao about Cui Yuxiu's plan.
"Yuxiu, do you think this is feasible?" Cui Hao asked.
Cui Yuxiu nodded and said, "Uncle, don't worry, Lin Xuan won't give in so easily."
Although she has only met Lin Xuan once, she has already seen that Lin Xuan is the kind of person who doesn't take the hard way.
As for the methods of other companies, she could easily guess them.
Their methods will only anger Lin Xuan, and it is impossible to make him give in.
"Okay, the others are waiting in the living room, let's go there now," Cui Hao said.
Anyway, Cui Yuxiu was assigned by the family to be in charge of this matter, so even if there was any problem, it would not be his fault.
"My niece is back, what's the result?" Wang Ze asked.
Cui Yuxiu shook her head and said with a wry smile: "My niece failed to convince Lin Xuan."
Zheng Kai comforted him: "Niece, don't be discouraged. I told you before that Lin Xuan is not easy to persuade."
Although he was comforting Cui Yuxiu, Zheng Kai was already happy.
The Cui family failed, but the benefits promised to them were indispensable, and they also had the opportunity to obtain the method of making colored glaze.
Of course Cui Yuxiu knew what they were thinking, and said with a smile: "Uncles, according to the agreement, the things promised by the Cui family will be delivered later, and we will not participate in the rest."
Lu Yuan asked doubtfully: "Niece, are you sure your Cui family won't participate?"
The Cui family paid a huge price before. They only said that they would be the first to take action, but they did not say that they would not participate after failure.
Now that the Cui family suddenly said this, Lu Yuan was very confused.
People from other families also looked at Cui Yuxiu in confusion.
Cui Hao stood up and said: "Don't worry, niece Yuxiu is sent by the family to take charge of this matter. She can make full decisions."
The other families felt relieved now. Although they still couldn't figure out why the Cui family gave up, it was impossible for them to give up the method of making colored glaze.
"Thank you very much for the generosity of the Cui family. I'll take my leave now!" Wang Ze said.
"I have something to do, so I'll take my leave now!"
"Farewell!"
Several others said goodbye one after another.
Cui Hao quickly stood up to see him off.
"Sister, when will they take action?" Cui Zhifeng asked.
Cui Yuxiu sneered: "They are all a group of old foxes. When they leave here, they will definitely get together to discuss countermeasures. Within a day or two, they will definitely take action. Just wait and see the show."
…
After Wang Ze and others left, they did not separate, but went directly to Wang Ze's house.
When the servants brought tea, Wang Ze said: "You all go down. No one is allowed to come in without my order."
"Brother Wang, did you ask us to come over?" Zheng Kai asked doubtfully.
Wang Ze looked at the others and said: "Everyone, the Cui family has paid a huge price and must have great confidence. However, they have all failed. It seems that the methods suggested by the heads of our families will not succeed either."
Their family's attention is similar to that of the Cui family, which is nothing more than coercion and inducement.
Lu Yuan's eyes flashed and he asked, "What does Brother Wang mean?"
"What I mean is that we must pool our efforts to impeach Lin Xuan and have him dismissed from his job. Without his title, wouldn't it be easy for us to deal with him?" Wang Ze said with a smile.
Lu Yuan said: "Brother Wang's attention is good, but after success, who will own the method of making colored glaze?"
Their main purpose is the method of making colored glaze.
He didn't want to end up making a wedding dress for someone else.
Zheng Kai also nodded in agreement.
"The profits generated by the glass production method will be equally divided among the three of us." Wang Ze said.
"This..." Zheng Kai and Lu Yuan hesitated.
The three companies share it equally, and of course no one can monopolize more benefits.
Wang Ze knew what they were thinking, looked at them, and said: "Do you think you are stronger than the Cui family? The Cui family can't succeed, and we can't succeed alone. An equal share is better than nothing, right?"
"
Lu Yuan and Zheng Kai hesitated for a while and said, "Brother Wang, tell me, what do you need us to do?"
"Arrange someone to concoct some charges for Lin Xuan, and then let three of our officials in the court impeach him together." Wang Ze said sinisterly.
They had also collected some charges against Lin Xuan, but they were all insignificant and had no impact on Lin Xuan at all.
But as the saying goes, ‘There’s no need to blame someone if you want to.’
If there is no crime, just concoct something. Even if it is found to be fake in the end, so what?
Anyway, the Tang Dynasty said that officials heard about things and did not need evidence.
…
The arrival of the Cui family made Lin Xuan a little wary. He knew that the family would definitely plot against him.
But now he doesn't know what means the family will use, so he can only block it with troops.
After Lin Xuan completed the drawing, he took the drawing to the house where the carpenter was housed.
When Chen Guangli saw Lin Xuan coming, he quickly saluted and said, "I have met the Marquis!"
"Old man Chen, no need to be polite, how is the furniture doing?" Lin Xuan asked.
Lin Xuan was very satisfied with the sample that Chen Guangli and the others made last time after seeing it, and has already asked them to start production.
Chen Guangli said: "Back to Lord Hou, I have already done a lot of it. I will definitely finish it on time."
These craftsmen are very grateful to Lin Xuan.
They often couldn't get much work in the past, and life as a family was somewhat difficult.
Lin Xuan not only gave them work, but also hired them directly. From now on, they will receive wages every month.
Moreover, the wages Lin Xuan paid them were very high.
"There's no need to rush, just let them give birth normally, don't tire yourself out," Lin Xuan said.
Chen Guangli smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Hou, for your concern."
Lin Xuan took out the drawings and said, "Old man Chen, see if these things can be made."
Chen Guangli took the drawing, looked at it, and said, "No problem!"
Lin Xuan said: "Then please help me, Mr. Chen, to make these. I only need one set. The wood must be polished smooth, and the edges and corners must be polished smooth."
These things are all given to Li Zhi. If Li Zhi gets injured later because of this, he will be in trouble.
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I will remember it!" Chen Guangli nodded and said.
Lin Xuan said: "Old man Chen, go and get busy. Just send someone to notify me when it's ready."
Lin Xuan was very confident about Chen Guangli's craftsmanship. Those previous samples were very beautifully made.
Lin Xuan returned home and found Xu Guangfu coming.
"Why are you here? Did something happen?" Lin Xuan asked.
Xu Guangfu said excitedly: "Master Hou, it's done, the mirror is done."
"What mirror has been made? Where is the mirror? Let me see." Lin Xuan said happily.
Xu Guangfu took out a wooden box, opened it, and took out a palm-sized mirror.
Lin Xuan took the mirror and looked at it, and was very satisfied.
Although the clarity of later generations' mirrors is still a bit poor, it is much better than the clarity of bronze mirrors.
He nodded and said: "Yes, everyone who participated in the production will be awarded five guan, and you will receive ten."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis!" Xu Guangfu thanked him.
He was very lucky to have chosen to follow Lin Xuan. In just two months, he had received dozens of dollars in wages and rewards.
