After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 89 Breaking apart the deal
Xu Degui was confused by what she said.

Xu Huiming, on the other hand, stared at Xu Qingying and smiled, "My sister always looks confident, how are you going to squeeze out the wealthy households in Xingyuan Mansion this time?"

"Let's see. Anyway, the family can still make some money."

That girl Feng'er didn't listen to anyone in the Xu family at all. She just followed Xu Qingying's orders. While she was talking, people were already looking at the fur.

Xu Degui frowned, "This girl... really doesn't take the rest of us seriously."

Xu Qingying slowly reminded her: "Feng'er is not a slave. I pay her wages, so she will naturally listen to me."

Xu Huiming suddenly realized that these words were hitting them.

Xu Qingying seems to be particularly protective of those who belong to her position and does not allow anyone else to get involved.

The high degree of centralization of power, does this mean that Xu Qingying's rights are not allowed to be interfered with by anyone, including her close relatives?

He went to see Xu Qingying again, but saw that the man's face was dull, and he could not see the strength just now.

Xu Huiming smiled and said: "That's natural. You are her boss. If she doesn't do things for you, who else can she do things for?"

After walking and walking, the wind and snow gradually subsided, and the lights of Xingyuan Mansion illuminated the late returnees.The candlelight was full of light, shining on the snow-white ground, and the birds were singing and dancing, creating a scene of prosperity.

Today's dinner was held in Miss Qi Er's courtyard. It was getting late, and Xu Qingying appeared as the finale guest.

When we got to the other courtyard, we found that it was not too big, but it was elegant and fresh. There was a table in the middle of the courtyard, with a steaming pot in the middle and freshly killed mutton placed next to it.

Lamb pot.

This weather is just right.

Miss Qi Er led Xu Qingying to the middle. Xu Qingying saw that there were eight or nine people sitting on the small round table. They were of different ages and looks. There were old men and young people who were bright and noble. , there are also two female stewards.

When this group of people saw a person leading behind Miss Qi Er, they knew that this person was today's protagonist, Mr. Xu, who was said to have a supply of soap.

Everyone did not dare to neglect, and they all stood up at this moment. Before Miss Qi Er could introduce her, someone had already recognized her identity, "Hey, this must be the rumored Mr. Xu, he is so young and promising. "

"Mrs. Dong, you are overestimating me." Xu Qingying saluted with clasped fists and introduced each other to each other, "I am younger than everyone else, so just call me Xiao Xu."

No one dares to raise their own status. In the business world, whoever has the most funds is the big brother.

Legend has it that Mr. Xu owns a supply of soap. This alone is enough to make people respect him.

"Young master Xu is so polite. I heard that you are from the north. How can you adapt to our Xingyuan Mansion?"

"It's okay, but I didn't expect it to snow heavily this November."

"Oh, that's not true. There is still a war in the north this year. In this ice and snow, I don't know how many people will die."

Seeing everyone chatting together, Miss Qi Er quickly asked people to sit down: "What are you doing standing around? Let's sit down and chat while eating. Today we are eating mutton pot. The mutton from the north has no smell at all, and it is fresh and tender." "

Everyone sat down as instructed. From this position, the order of honor and inferiority could be seen.Xu Qingying sat on the left hand row. The person in charge was an old man with a gray beard. He was dressed in fine silk clothes and had a jade belt around his waist. He looked like he had good financial resources.

The girl next to Miss Qi Er didn't know if she got Qi Er's instructions. Seeing her glance at the old man, she immediately whispered: "This man is the owner of the largest grocery store in Xingyuan Prefecture. He is nicknamed Old Man Lin. His family not only I make groceries, and I also make rouge and gouache.”

"That younger woman is from the Su family, and her family owns a food store. Somehow she got involved this time."

"The older mother-in-law runs a clothing store. She has stores in almost all counties in Xingyuan Prefecture. It is said that she has a good relationship with the court."

"The remaining few are all big businessmen in Henan Prefecture. It was my young lady who specially called here to help you with the show."

Xu Qingying basically understood the situation.

Most of these people were wealthy households from Henan Prefecture and Xingyuan Prefecture. They probably listened to Miss Qi Er's deception and really thought that Xingyuan Prefecture had a chance to make a fortune, so they came here to test the waters.

It's hard for Miss Qi Er to help her gather so many people.

If there were fewer people, the situation would not be fun.

The rich broth is boiling. The chef cuts the mutton as thin as cicada wings. He gently picks it up with chopsticks and simmers it in boiling water for a few dozen seconds. The tender and delicious mutton slices are ready.

Since everyone was here to make a fortune, naturally their appetite for food was just a show. Not long after the banquet started, someone impatient couldn't bear to ask, "Little Master Xu, I heard that you have a supply of soap. Is this true?" Fake?"

Xu Qingying put down her chopsticks and said slowly: "Of course it's true. When we were in Henan Mansion before, Miss Qi Er and Mr. Zhao from Zhao Ji Grocery Store bought 6000 yuan of soap from me. The two of them can testify."

Miss Qi Er immediately hit the snake with a stick and said with a smile: "No. Don't tell me, this soap business is really profitable. 3000 yuan of soap, all of it will be sold from me in less than ten days, leaving nothing behind."

After saying that, she looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Everyone is lucky, I'm afraid you have bought the first batch of soap. This is the only batch, and our Xingyuan Prefecture is close to Henan Prefecture, so it becomes the Great Zhou Dynasty." Toward the first people to use soap."

Someone said angrily: "Such a small piece of soap costs twenty taels of silver. Miss Qi Er, your business is too unethical."

Miss Qi Er laughed, "As a businessman, profit comes first. I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Xu, so I could seize such a good opportunity and make a lot of money. But with the financial resources of the Zhang family in Xingyuan Mansion, , a person with a rich family, still cares about these two taels of money? What’s more, just tell me, is this thing useful? "

This man's face naturally improved after being praised by Miss Qi Er. Under the expectant eyes of everyone, he slowly said: "It's really easy to use. It's many times better than Xiangyizi."

Speaking of the effect of soap, everyone started talking.

"Don't tell me, there is some oil on your hands. Wash them with soap. They are really clean."

"I also asked my servants to buy two pieces. Before I could use them, my wife and daughter took the lead. No, as soon as I heard that soap appeared, my wife rushed me to come. Talk about that thing Not only can you wash your hands and face, but you can also wash your body. The fragrance will last for a long time after washing. The smell is elegant and natural, and it’s actually better than spices!”

Miss Qi Er immediately said: "That's not the truth. Think about it, spices are much more expensive than soap, right? Moreover, this soap has a pleasant fragrance and cleanses well. For only two taels of silver, you won't lose at all."

"In this case, Mr. Xu invited so many people to talk here and said that there is a big deal to be discussed. Could it be that the soap business is about to be discussed?" Old man Lin was old and a prominent figure in Xingyuan Mansion. As soon as he spoke, Naturally, everyone looked at him, "May I ask Mr. Xu, who is the real owner behind this soap business? Can you please come out and talk to me?"

As soon as Old Man Lin said this, he immediately attracted support, "Yes, we all came from Henan Prefecture just to meet the people behind the soap business."

"This business is too big. Young Master Xu can make the decision by himself?"

"I have traveled day and night to come here with full sincerity, but Mr. Xu is alone here. Is it too much to neglect me?"

Xu Qingying knew that she might not be able to finish this meal properly.

The mutton pot was so delicious, she originally wanted to eat a few more bites before talking about business, but she didn't expect that the guy was so enthusiastic about making money.

Okay, if that's the case, let's finish the work early and call it a day.

Xu Qingying stopped eating, glanced at everyone, and then said slowly: "To be honest with you, this soap business belongs to me, and there is no other owner. So I think I should still mean what I say."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

What Miss Qi Er said at first was that the soap recipe was in the hands of a powerful person in the capital, and the source of the goods was in the hands of Mr. Xu. When the businessman heard the word "powerful", he naturally thought of ways to avoid it, and stopped robbing. Fang Zi’s thoughts.

Who would have thought that Young Master Xu would directly state that the prescription was in his hands.

How can this make people uneasy?

Even a blind person can see the huge profits of soap. Miss Qi Er sells it for only [-] taels of silver and can't get enough of it. Who knows how popular the sales are.

Suddenly, more than one person had the idea of ​​grabbing the prescription.

Fortunately, Xu Qingying brought some good players this time. Each of them was tall and powerful, and their momentum was astonishing. When they stood behind Xu Qingying, no one dared to underestimate them.

"I can't believe that Young Master Xu has such abilities at such a young age. Since you have a recipe in your hand, why did you call all of us here?"

Xu Qingying sighed and frowned, but hesitated: "Well, it's just the fight between brothers and sisters for family property. It's hard to talk about it. It's just that it's really not convenient for me to do this business now, so I urgently need sufficient funds. And a reliable partner.”

Everyone present is a fine person. From this detailed analysis, each of them imagined a drama between wealthy brothers fighting for family property.

Keeping one or two small treasuries in one's own possession can be said to be a necessary skill for the children of wealthy families. Therefore, everyone present did not doubt Xu Qingying's excuse.

Who could have imagined that an exiled prisoner would dare to enter a house in such a grand manner to do business?As long as Miss Qi Er doesn't tell her, who will know her identity once she leaves Xingyuan Mansion?
"Then I dare to ask Mr. Xu, how do you want to cooperate?"

"Simple." Xu Qingying said this with a slight glimmer in her eyes, "My recipe is divided into one hundred parts. I own 36 parts, and the remaining 64 parts are only sold to two people. Whoever has the higher price per share Just give it to anyone.”

As soon as Xu Qingying's plan came out, everyone was silent for a moment, and soon someone asked: "It's too troublesome. How can anyone sell money like this? Why don't you just say a price? It would be inconvenient for us who bid the highest price to buy it out directly?"

Xu Qingying shook her head and said with a smile: "Everyone, when you do business with me, you must follow my rules. Moreover, only one person can make money by selling the whole recipe. But with me, Xu Zhenying, what I want is for everyone to make money." money."

"Hmph, that's nice to say. If you sell to two people, don't they just make money?"

"If the prescription is sold to two people at the same time, that means both families own the same prescription. Isn't this a competition between the two families? Then why should I buy your prescription? Why do I need to do such a thankless thing?"

"That's right. How important is this recipe? How could it be revealed to someone else?"

"No." Xu Qingying dipped her chopsticks in water, pushed away the cup in front of her, and began to write directly on the table with water on the table under everyone's gaze, "This is not a one-time deal for Fang Zi, but to establish a joint-stock company. ."

"Little Master Xu, what is a joint-stock company?"

"Yes, I can understand the shares. Does it mean buying shares?"

Seeing that everyone looked inquiring, even a veteran businessman like Lin Old Man rarely showed some interest and came over, Xu Qingying explained carefully: "Joint-stock company, if it is a soap business, you can understand that now I am As the major shareholder of this soap shop, I will sell part of my property, you will spend money to subscribe, and then you will become my partner, and the three of us will manage this shop together."

At this point, everyone understood a little bit.

"It's just that you don't want to go it alone in this soap business, so let the big guys pay to do it with you."

"good."

"But it's not easy for you to do this. This plate is so big. If someone has the strength, he can eat it in one bite."

"Some businesses just look very profitable. Precisely because the market is big, working in groups is often much more effective than working alone. Let's do this, everyone bids first, and those who want to buy the equity in my soap Everyone, take a piece of paper, write your bid and name without interfering with each other, and put it into the box. The one with the highest bid will get it."

"Wait a minute. Mr. Xu just said that the prescription is divided into one hundred shares, you take 36 shares, and the remaining 64 shares are only sold to two people. Whoever has the highest price per share will be given to him. So, how much can these two people buy respectively? Shares? Can I buy 64 shares by myself?"

"Two people can only buy 32 shares. Either take all 32 shares, or buy none."

"Then if the price of a single share I bid is higher than others, wouldn't it mean that he spent less than me but got the same number of shares as me?"

"Don't panic about this. Don't worry, you won't suffer any losses when doing business with me, Xu Zhenying. The one with a higher price per share will have an additional right. As for what this right is, I will only tell the two people who successfully bid. [-]. Moreover, if you still feel that you are at a loss after listening to my plan after bidding, you can also leave directly."

Everyone was talking about it, none of them had ever played this kind of operation before, and they were a little unsure about paying attention for a while.

It was the young woman, Mrs. Su, who made the decision immediately and said, "We're just going to form a partnership together. What's the problem? Anyway, the soap business is so profitable, so joining the partnership won't be a loss."

Miss Qi Er naturally wanted to act as Xu Qingying's tool, and immediately added fuel to the flames and released a bomb message, "It's not just about making money, I heard that the cost of the soap is only a few dozen yuan. Think about it, guys, this profit How much is it, dozens of times, this is simply more profitable than a salt merchant!"

"A few dozen yuan? Miss Qi Er, you and I have been friends for more than ten years, so don't talk nonsense."

"Why am I lying to you? I, Qi Er, will have to hang out in Henan Mansion for the rest of my life. Xingyuan Mansion is one step away from Henan Mansion. Could it be that I risked my reputation for the rest of my life and invited you all here just to lie to you? Come on? Well, I still hope that all my brothers and sisters will help me get rich."

This sentence made everyone laugh. Although they still had doubts, it was a definite fact that the soap business made money. It was said that in Qi Er, more than 3000 bars of soap were sold out in ten days, and the supply was even in short supply.

The soap business can be said to be a huge profit.

Xu Qingying also continued: "I think everyone understands the truth. Everyone knows what this soap is like. I can only say that everyone should act quickly. If the supervisor above is alerted, the soap will become like salt. It’s the same, if the Chief Supervisor takes over, we won’t be able to make this quick money. Think about it, if you are willing to believe in me, Xu Zhenying, and are willing to work with me, Xu Zhenying, just take a piece of paper, Write the purchase price of a single share and put it into the wooden box. Later, the two highest bidders will come in and talk. The third bidder can be a substitute."

"What do you mean?"

"You have to give others a chance. What if someone thinks that my conditions are harsh and they are unwilling to accept it? It just so happens that No. 3 will be replaced, so it won't waste everyone's time."

Someone immediately suggested: "Little Master Xu, this matter is very important. Can you give us a few days to think about it?"

"No, it's only tonight, no waiting after the deadline." Xu Qingying shook her head and glanced at Miss Qi Er again, "If it weren't for Miss Qi Er, I wouldn't even plan to seek partners in Xingyuan Mansion. For business, that's A man who is steady and ruthless will take action when he sees the right opportunity. The so-called opportunity is rare. If you are quick or slow, you are fighting for an opportunity. If you don't come tonight, it can only prove that the soap business is destined to be with everyone in Xingyuan Mansion. No chance. The wooden boxes have been placed, please help yourself."

Miss Qi Er's girl took her to the inner room to wait for the bidding results.

The wooden boxes are placed in this room to ensure that the price written on the paper by each bidder cannot be seen.

Seeing that Xu Qingying had left, as the saying goes, time waits for no one, Old Man Lin made a decisive decision. He stood up and went out to bid, but was stopped by Mrs. Luo who owned a ready-made clothing shop.

Although these two people said that one was a rouge gouache and the other was a clothing shop, and their businesses were not mixed together, it happened that Mrs. Luo had tried her hand at testing the waters a few years ago and developed a rouge gouache industry, but was dealt a hard blow by Old Man Lin. There was a smile between the two when they met again, but behind the scenes, the harmony was broken.

"Mr. Lin, the juniors here are not as good at business as you and me. They can't see it, and you can't see it. With Mr. Xu's bidding method, everyone has no idea, and it is inevitable to raise the price overtly or covertly. . Since both of us sincerely want to do the soap business, we naturally can't compete with the clam for the fishermen's profit, so I will simply show off my cards. I will write 500 taels per share. It depends on whether you can trust me or not. .”

The price of 500 taels is very exquisite.

It was a price that they could afford, but other families might not be able to afford it.

Looking at it this way, Mrs. Luo’s price was reasonable and within Old Man Lin’s psychological tolerance.

But the only question is, is Mrs. Luo sincere or fake?

Will she suddenly be stabbed in the back?

The word trust is indeed the most interesting thing for people like them in the business world.

Old Man Lin stroked his gray beard and raised his eyes slightly, but said calmly, "I understand."

Mrs. Luo was not sure. She had originally made up her mind to pay 500 taels per share, but looking at Mr. Lin's meaningful look, Mrs. Luo's heart was beating fast. Thinking about her singing, she instead put herself on the spot. in a passive position.

If he really bids 500 taels for a share, doesn't that mean he has told his competitors about his bid? How should Mr. Lin respond if he raises the price on this basis?

If you bid more than 500 taels, wouldn't you be slapping yourself in the face?
Mrs. Luo shouted that she had been cheated, but it was too late. Everyone had already begun to think about the price. There were two companies among them who were in a lawsuit. They probably didn't have much money in hand and wanted to jointly buy stocks.

Mrs. Luo had no choice but to make an offer first.

Xu Qingying and Miss Qi Er were already waiting in the small room behind the screen. There was a wooden box in front of them. Half an hour had passed. After the last person's quotation was put into the wooden box, everyone left. Just now I ate in the yard and waited for the results.

Mrs. Luo has been secretly observing everyone's expressions, but after all, everyone is a veteran in the business world for many years, so they are very calm and can't tell anything.

Soon, the door inside opened, and the girl named Feng'er made an invitation gesture and announced loudly: "Please come in, Mr. Lin and Mrs. Luo, and have a talk. Mr. Zhang, please wait outside. The other bosses Please wait where you are for a moment, my young master said that although the single shares are sold out, there is still a business to discuss with you later, so please be patient."

Everyone knew that the overall situation was decided, but they also roughly guessed the outcome.

Who among these three has the strongest financial resources?

I just don’t know how high the bidding will be.

Everyone couldn't help sighing, but they also immediately started to inquire: "I offered 500 taels per share, but I haven't even got the price yet. Mr. Xu has made a high price this time. If I had known, it would be better to just openly bid. At least the price is clearly marked. It’s easier for us to make decisions.”

"No, I just had to bid bravely. If I had known better, I should have added more, and maybe I would have won."

"I'm afraid the highest price will be at least 800 taels per share."

Someone laughed and said, "Ah, seven hundred and eighty taels, you underestimate Old Man Lin too much. That old guy has always had a sharp eye, and he has to make good deals even if he wants to sell iron. You didn't see what he was bound to win just now." It looks like the bid is at least one thousand."

Someone gasped, "Old man Lin is such a big hand!"

"How can I say that this person is getting rich? I wouldn't dare to quote all over the place with my head covered."

The leader of the squad, Zhao, who was staying nearby, heard these numbers and his heart beat wildly.

From the beginning when Xu Qingying said she wanted to sell her son, he disagreed.

If he hadn't considered Xu Qingying's ability and thought that Xu Qingying had never made a loss-making transaction, he would have rushed to terminate the transaction.

Now that he heard the quotations from these people, he felt chills on his back, and a surge of ecstasy filled his heart.
