Chapter 138 Let's Talk About Business
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiuyue looked down at the back of her swollen and red hands, and curled her lips and said, "I didn't bring a sword, I could only use my hands. That man is so hateful and did nothing. He just slandered people with his mouth, and he really doesn't look like a man!"
He chuckled, gently pinched his shoulders, and his voice was soft and doting: "Okay, okay, you are the most like a little man, can you go to eat with your sister?"
Eating? Ling Xiuyue nodded before noticing the man standing next to her.
He was not as tall as this man, so he could only look up. He looked at him with his eyes facing him. He saw the unhappy look in the man's eyes. A cold light appeared in his dark and blue eyes, which made people feel scared.
Subconsciously, Ling Xiuyue leaned against Wenrou, but it was fine if she didn't rely on her. As soon as she leaned over, the man's eyes became even heavier.
“…”
Wenrou didn't pay attention to Xiao Jingtang, but felt that Xiu Yue suddenly became nervous, so she comforted softly: "It's okay, this person looks fierce, you don't have to be afraid, let's go first, it's too noisy here."
"Okay." Nodded, Ling Xiuyue glanced at the distance, pulled Wenrou and walked towards the street corner, muttering quietly as she walked: "No wonder my sister asked me to protect you, why is your situation so dangerous?"
"What?" Wenrou was a little confused: "Is it very dangerous?"
"Yes!" Xiao Jingtang looked back at the back, then looked at Pei Fangwu not far away. Ling Xiuyue said with a serious expression: "They seem to have a grudge against you, and they don't look very good. I will definitely protect you!"
He followed him in surprise and looked at the two people, laughing gently and too lazy to explain. He only thought Xiu Yue's serious appearance was very cute, so he simply nodded and said, "Okay, you have to protect me."
"Sure!" Ling Xiuyue clenched her fists.
Looking at the person in front of him smiling very happily, Xiao Jingtang followed behind step by step, with a gloomy expression.
He has not been sleeping well for the past half month, and his condition has been repeated and his nightmares have been repeated. He can hardly tell what a dream is and what is the reality.
Wenrou in the dream returned to him. He treated her very well, but when silver fell from the sky, she quickly ran to pick him up and threw him alone. When she woke up, she felt absurd and felt her heart hurt. Just as she felt uncomfortable, Wenrou came back seriously, sat beside his bed and asked with a smile, "Second Master, what do you want to use for breakfast?"
She smiled so gently, with stars hidden in her eyes. She reached out to pull him up, but he was too heavy, and her body was torn off by him and held it in her arms.
"Is it you?" he asked hoarsely.
The man in his arms giggled, stroked his Adam's apple, and stuck out his tongue to tease his lips: "It's me, I'm back and I will never leave you again. No matter what happens in the future, I will be by your side."
My heart was so warm that Xiao Jingtang pursed his lips and reached out to hug the person tightly. But with this force, the person in his arms disappeared without a trace.
"gentle?"
The surroundings suddenly became empty. He stood up, looked around blankly, and murmured: "This is not a dream. She spoke, it is not a dream..."
"...It's not a dream." He said, and he woke up in an instant. Xiao Jingtang sat up in shock and glared at Butler Xiao beside the bed for a while.
"Second Young Master?" Butler Xiao looked innocent: "You have been sleeping for too long and finally woke up. Let's eat something first?"
It's still a dream after all.
After a while, Xiao Jingtang laughed in silence.
Yes, if it weren't for the dream, how could she say that? It would be fake no matter how you look at it. He actually wanted to take it seriously.
It's really ridiculous.
"Are you uncomfortable?"
Sitting in the carriage, gentlely looked at the person opposite who had been closing his eyes and not saying a word, raised his eyebrows and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, you won't have to eat this food."
She just wanted to take a ride away from the store.
He slowly opened his eyes, Xiao Jingtang looked at her and whispered: "I have nothing to do, I still have to talk about what I should talk about."
Hearing that his tone was so formal, Wen Rou didn't mind anything. He shut up and looked outside honestly. He put his hand on Xiu Yue's shoulder to protect him from bumping into the car wall.
It would be fine if I didn't open my eyes, but I saw this scene as soon as I opened my eyes. Xiao Jingtang frowned slightly and looked at Ling Xiuyue: "Who is this?"
"The brother who is wearing the eyebrows." He didn't intend to hide it from him, and said gently: "I went to the capital city. My brother came all the way to find her, so he naturally gave it to me to take care of her."
"You are so busy now, where do you have time to take care of the children?" Mr. Xiao reached out and said, "Let him go to my house."
Ling Xiuyue was startled and immediately rushed into Wenrou's arms. Wenrou reached out to catch him, shook her head and said, "This child is not a problem for the second young master, I can take good care of myself."
Xiuyue helped her a lot, and the people she found were willing to endure hardships. She learned how to make glass for two days, not to mention how good the artwork was, but the things could be made from porcelain kilns, and they could be put out to sell fresh. When she found a master of carvings to come back to teach, this group of people could become great apprentices.
It was rare to see this kind of pity on her face. Xiao Jingtang pursed his lips and felt very unhappy, but now, he had no position to say that she was not, so he could only watch silently and stare at Ling Xiuyue all the way.
The little boy was under great mental pressure. He looked at Xiao Jingtang's fist and then at his own, and it seemed that he could not beat him.
Then let it bear.
Zhenxiuzhai arrived soon, and when Xiao Jingtang went upstairs, he ordered the dishes. Seeing Wenrou bringing Ling Xiuyue in and sitting next to him, his eyes moved slightly and he said, "There is a maid here. Xiuyue's seat is too close, move two to the side."
"Oh." Without doubting him, Wenrou moved two of hers to the side, then looked at the servant serving the food, the maid dressed in the food, raised her eyes and asked the person opposite: "What do the second young master want to talk to me?"
"It's very simple, glass." After feeling a little better, Xiao Jingtang looked at her and said, "If I'm right, did you teach the Pei family how to make glass?"
"Yes." Nodded gently, and didn't bother to anything. I honestly explained: "In order to let Pei Fangwu redeem me, I gave him the formula of the glass frit, but there was only one Zhang Laowu who could do it, so the output was low and the quality was not very good. Pei Fangwu was not stupid, so he would definitely train apprentices to increase the yield, but the prescriptions I have now are better than his, so don't worry, the second young master, as it is also glass, your Xiao family glass pavilion only has a less imperial plaque than Pei Ji, and the quality is better."
Nodding, Xiao Jingtang said, "I have no doubt about the quality of the glass. I just want you to consider whether you want to be one of the owners of Xiaoji Glass Pavilion."
The owner of the Glass Pavilion? That's the person who sits and pays dividends! Xiao Jingtang will let her do such a good thing for nothing? He smiled gently and asked, "What are the conditions for the Second Young Master?"
The two are now on par. Xiao Jingtang's attitude makes her feel that she is a serious businessman with no emotional bonds. This feeling is very comfortable, which makes her feel much more comfortable than Pei Fangwu.
She just wants to talk about business now, not about relationships.
Xiao Jingtang said seriously: "My conditions are very simple. You don't have to use money as capital. You just need to share your current secret recipe with me. In return, the net profit of Xiaoji Glass Pavilion in the next three years will be distributed to you 40%.
40%!
His eyes lit up and he raised his eyebrows gently: "The second young master is also a straightforward person, but the formula of glass is a secret. The more people you know, the cheaper the price of glass will be. If you share it with you, I will lose no less."
"Yes, so I give in to 40% of the profit." Xiao Jingtang nodded: "It has been nearly a month since Xiaoji Glass Pavilion opened. The net income of less than 40% this month is quite considerable. You should be able to calculate this account yourself."
She supplied the goods to the Xiao family. Although the profit was higher, she was very tired, which would affect the supply speed of her own glass shop. And Xiao Jingtang seemed to be worried, afraid that she would cut off the supply, so the Xiao family's glass pavilion was not easy to do business.
After thinking about it, he said gently: "Fifty-percent profit, I will give the formula to the Second Young Master without saying a word, and I can train several apprentices for the Second Young Master to ensure the quality of the product. How about it?"
When discussing business, you have to bargain. Although Xiao Jingtang's conditions are already good, Wenrou feels that he has to say a few more words to make him seem not that easy to talk to, right?
I thought that Xiao Jingtang would agree readily, after all, it was a profitable business. But unexpectedly, the person on the other side looked a little embarrassed and pursed his lips and said, "Let's have a meal first."
Still can't bear to let it go? Gentle and softly curled her lips. She didn't take much advantage. The cost of making glass is low. Xiao Ji produced and sold it himself. The income can be twice as high as before. She only received half of the commission, which also ensured that the Xiao family's supply was stable. Even if she was a little greedy, shouldn't Xiao Jingtang agree with her current situation?
He was a little confused, and Wenrou didn't say much, and honestly ate his meal. After that, Xiao Jingtang got up and went out. Butler Xiao said next to him: "Why do you have to make things difficult for our young master? You don't have to do anything. Give me a prescription. You will have a lot of income in the next three years, which is enough to make you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. It doesn't matter if you have more or less or less."
It doesn't matter. The gentle support of your chin is the more you think it is more cost-effective. A sinister businessman like Xiao Jingtang will definitely maximize his interests and share dividends with him. He doesn't have to make glass. It is indeed beneficial or harmless.
Or... can you give in?
"The weather is good today, and it's rare to see the sun." Master Xiao came back and stood at the door and said, "Does Manager Wen want to go to the lake?"
This is considered a commercial social engagement? He smiled gently and glanced at him and said, "Will the second young master give me 50% of the time when I go to the lake with you?"
Xiao Jingtang curled his lips without saying a word.
Just go, there are a lot of meat. I nodded gently and walked out with Xiuyue.
Xiuyue was very well-behaved. When she said protecting gentleness, she was always with her. But when she looked at the boat, her little face turned a little white.
