Chapter 210 The Clown Is Actually Myself

Tang Yin was embarrassed for a while.

Got it!
The clown is me!
I just pretended I didn't hear the negotiation process between you two foxes, old and young, and I don't need to intervene.

Afterwards, the delivery date was agreed upon. Zhang Zuo said that the copper pipe could be completed within [-] days, while Zhu Hao estimated that the final assembly should be completed within [-] days. The business between Zhang Zuo and Zhu Hao was thus concluded.

"Our family has to hurry up and ask King Xing. In terms of expenses, we can't wait for the money allocated by the court to be in place. We have to pay for the goods in advance...Mr. Lu, our family will not accompany you any longer, and we will have a drink with you later."

After saying that, Zhang Zuo ignored Tang Yin, got up and went out of the cafeteria directly, and went to Zhu Youzhao to apply for money, because he had five hundred taels of silver to move around, so he was very motivated to do things.

After Tang Yin and Zhu Hao got up to send Zhang Zuo away, a group of guards outside the dining hall who were waiting for dinner came in. They saw that Zhang Zuo and Tang Yin seemed to be discussing something, so they could only wait in the yard.

"Go out."

What Tang Yin meant was that it was inconvenient to speak out if he had something to say.

Zhu Hao rubbed his stomach, "I'm in a hurry to get back, I haven't even eaten dinner yet...I want to chat with you after I finish eating."

Tang Yin said: "If you want to eat, I invite you to go to the restaurants around the palace."

This is urgent.

You seem to be very sophisticated, why did you start to flirt when you came to me?Does it mean that I don't deserve your courtesies?
Zhu Hao sighed softly: "If you don't eat for free, you have to go out and spend money. You can really think about it... But anyway, I guess Zhang Fengzheng will not treat you too badly, and he will give you a few taels of money for tea... "

"no need!"

Tang Yin is not rare.

Now money has become a "possession outside his body" for him. The one hundred taels of silver that Su Xigui gave him before was enough for him to live a carefree life for a few years.

……

……

The two left the palace.

Tang Yin invites Zhu Hao to the restaurant, but Zhu Hao politely refuses. Zhu Hao wants to go home for dinner. Firstly, the food is delicious, and secondly, he wants to tell Zhu Niang about the business negotiation.

"You have known for a long time that Zhang Fengzheng deliberately flirted with you in order to embezzle money and gain benefits from it? And you have already planned a countermeasure. Before you showed strength, it was also to gain an advantage in the negotiation and let Zhang Fengzheng realize that , he has to do business with you, it's best to accept it as soon as it's good?"

After leaving the palace, Tang Yin's questions were thrown out like a cannonball.

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "You've made it clear, what else do I need to say? I said no, do you believe it?"

Tang Yin thought to himself, of course I don't believe it.

"Mr. Lu, in fact, I didn't expect at the beginning that someone in the palace would ask me for money so straightforwardly. I thought Zhang Fengzheng was only thinking about the prosperity of the palace and would not seek personal gain." Zhu Hao shook his head.

"is it?"

Tang Yin glanced over, obviously not believing it.

Zhu Hao sighed softly: "But thinking about it, Zhang Fengzheng is also a palace man, and his future life in old age depends entirely on money, otherwise what else can he rely on? Maybe the palace people are more crisis-conscious about this, and know what will happen to him when he gets old. situation..."

"speak English!"

Tang Yin's tone was not kind.

Zhu Hao shook his sleeves and said as a matter of course: "Since he likes it, then I'll give it to him. Anyway, it's the same price I supply to Su Dongzhu."

"How much?"

Tang Yin was puzzled.

Zhu Hao said: "Fifteen taels of silver is a pair of glasses, and it also comes with two lenses, but I have to prepare a metal frame for Su Dongzhu... This time I will just provide the lenses directly, fifteen taels a pair, the price is very cheap justice."

Tang Yin was even more speechless.

You kid still say belatedly?
It is clear that you have thought from the very beginning that the people in the palace may charge kickbacks, purposely set the price higher, and then give the extra part to Zhang Zuo.

The advantage of doing this is that even if the Wangfu or Su Xigui go back to investigate Zhu Hao and know the price of the mutual supply, they will feel that Zhu Hao is fair and reasonable, and he didn't mess with the price. Basically, "a bowl of water is flat", which is It is a prerequisite for winning the trust of big customers.

"Zhu Hao, you are so young, where did you get this experience? You couldn't have learned it from books, did you? Or did you figure it out in your mind? You don't have decades of life experience, do you know this?"

Tang Yin was very puzzled, so he asked directly.

Zhu Hao spread his hands: "Sophistication of the world is not much different from strategy. Just like Mr. Lu accompanied Zhang Fengzheng to find me, he realized Zhang Fengzheng's purpose and worried that I would suffer... Thank you Mr. Lu for your kindness, but it is something that a discerning person can see through , just because I'm young, I shouldn't understand, right?"

Tang Yin was taken aback.

After thinking about it, Zhu Hao's words made sense.

Zhu Hao can do everything that he can't even worry about, let alone a situation that Tang Yin can see through at a glance?

Speaking of being young, one shouldn't believe that Zhu Hao can advise the palace from the very beginning, nor should he believe that Zhu Hao has the ability to overwhelm himself in terms of resourcefulness. How old is Zhu Hao now?
"Monster! It really is a monster! Go the rest of the way by yourself, I'll go back to the palace first." Tang Yin accompanied Zhu Hao out of the palace, but walked around from the west gate to the main gate.

It may not be easy for others to enter the palace through the main entrance, but Tang Yin can enter from wherever he wants, and he is afraid of being watched by Zhu Wanhong if he goes far away. Made it up.

God.

Since you gave birth to me, Tang, why did you give birth to this boy?
Why do you want me to know him?
Is this playing me?

……

……

When Zhu Hao got home, he told Zhu Niang how he had discussed business with Zhang Zuo, and Zhu Niang seemed to understand.

"The lord and sir of the palace, who help with errands and busy things, should give five hundred taels of silver." Zhu Niang is not pedantic in this kind of matter.

Zhu Hao laughed and said, "I'm afraid that my mother will feel sorry for the five hundred taels of silver."

Zhu Niang gave Zhu Hao a white look: "Xiao Hao, don't you understand human relations as a mother? If it weren't for that Mr. Zhang helping you, how could we serve the court and earn [-] taels of silver at a time? Oh, that's right. , Xiaohao, if we charge [-] taels, we won’t lose money, right? How much will it cost?”

Zhu Hao thought for a while: "Ten taels?"

When she just entered the room, Aunt Li, who was holding the dumplings in her hand, almost spit out a mouthful of old blood: "Master Hao, you mean...the cost is only ten taels?"

"Maybe I need it. In fact, I have ready-made lenses and so on. I just need to polish them to a uniform caliber. I will go there tonight to see what the exact size of the lenses is. The workshop temporarily produces a batch... Now that the technology is mature, it is not difficult to manufacture it, I just ask the children who are studying in the city and working as apprentices to help."

Zhu Hao was grinning, not at all like a businessman who had just negotiated a big deal with someone.

Zhu Niang frowned: "If the court knows that we have earned so much money..."

"Don't worry, mother, this is the only one in the world, there is no other semicolon, and even if someone can imitate it...you can make a fortune in silence, why expose the cost?"

Zhu Hao blocked Zhu Niang's questioning voice.

You will definitely say, don't be so confident, how can there be something that you alone can do in the world?

Zhu Hao's words reminded me, since this thing is worth the price, and even the imperial court recognizes its value, even if they are in the same industry, they will not smash their own signs.

"I hope everything is as you said."

Zhu Niang still had a look of worry on her face.

……

……

Zhu Hao didn't stay at home that night, but went to the laboratory.

He wants to instruct the Li family brothers to bring a few handy children from the village to help him make lenses.

Aunt Li helped Xiaobai clean up the dishes, while Zhu Niang checked the accounts.

When Aunt Li came back, Zhu Niang said: "The girls were not satisfactory before, so I should go out and find some good ones. Like Xiao Hao said, someone should take care of his daily life. Seeing that he is so busy now that he doesn't touch the ground. It looks like... I don't know what to say, and there is no shortage of money, why should I be so busy and delay my studies? Let us deal with the court and Su Dongzhu?"

Aunt Li also sat down.

In front of the candle not far away, Zhu Ting was writing stroke by stroke. The little girl is only six years old now. Zhu Hao taught her "Thousand Characters" before, and with Zhu Niang's teaching, Zhu Ting looked like a primary school student.

Aunt Li said: "Ma'am, don't worry, I think the young master has expert advice by his side, otherwise how could there be so many ways to make money?"

"This is exactly what I'm worried about...Why would someone give him such a good opportunity to make us so much money? But it has no purpose for us at all? People are sinister. I don’t quite understand, how can we not suffer when we get along with people?”

As a mother, I always have endless worries about my son.

Of course, it was only based on the scope of her cognition. From her thinking, she felt that there were many difficulties and thorns around her son.

Aunt Li herself doesn't have much knowledge, and she is not as far-sighted as Zhu Niang, but she just said in a down-to-earth tone: "We are much better now than before. If someone really helps us, it must be a good person who will not harm Ours."

"That being said..."

Zhu Niang wanted to raise some hidden concerns, but after thinking about it, what Aunt Li said was very reasonable.

People help you make money, and you say there is malicious intent, so what is the malicious intent?
What is there to covet about this family of orphans and widows?
Taking a step back, even if there is a plan, the contribution of others is obviously not proportional to the return.

"Go back and find two girls for Xiaohao. They are eleven or twelve years old, they will love others, and they should look more delicate. As Xiaohao said, they will take care of everything... There is nothing a mother can give him."

Zhu Niang thought about it, and it seems that the only way to help her son is to find two servant girls for her son to serve her with her.

Aunt Li pursed her lips and smiled: "Isn't Madam afraid, older girls are thoughtful? I think that as long as they are diligent, younger ones are actually better, and they don't have so many ghosts."

"what?"

Zhu Niang thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.

It seems that finding a personal maid for his son is really a learned thing.
