Chapter 237: Negotiation and Cooperation
When he came to the lobby, Lin Mo saw an old man who was nearly sixty years old with gray hair standing in the hall, pacing back and forth, and behind him stood six cultivators with swords, none of whom were in a high realm, two swordsmen, and four great swordsmen.
As soon as Lin Mo stepped into the lobby, the old man saw Lin Mo, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Lin Mo respectfully, and said respectfully: "Murong Xian has seen Sect Master Lin, he visited early in the morning, and it really disturbed Sect Master Lin. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, the head of the Murong family, please sit down. ”
Lin Mo pursed his lips and smiled, walked to the main seat, took a sip of the tea handed by the maid in the National Soldier Pavilion, and said, "I don't know what happened when the head of the Murong family suddenly came to visit early in the morning, you might as well say it directly." ”
Murong Xian was stunned for a moment, and then bowed to Lin Mo, and said with a smile on his old face: "Since Sect Master Lin has spoken like this, then the old man is no longer hidden, and the old man came this morning for Qinglan's business." ”
"The queen mother?" Lin Mo pretended to be puzzled, took another sip of tea, and asked seriously: "I don't know what the head of the Murong family is here for?" Say it, I'll listen to it." ”
Murong Xian hesitated again. He bowed to Lin Mo and said: "Then the old man said bluntly, Qinglan has sent someone to inform the old man overnight, saying that he has made a family affair with Sect Master Lin, but Situ Zhentian wants to come today to ask Sect Master Lin to cancel the family business, and the old man came this time in the hope that Sect Master Lin would not agree to Situ Zhentian." ”
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, and deliberately pretended to be stupid and said: "Where did the head of the Murong family start with this, the child in the belly of the queen's mother is the blood of Shen Bo, how can Shen Bo let him cancel the family affair? This is confusing in Xia." ”
At this time, Murong Xian knew that Lin Mo was really deliberately pretending to be stupid, and now he knew that Lin Mo was waiting for his "tribute", but now is not the time for "tribute", so he has to explain according to Lin Mo's words first.
Alas, with a sigh, Murong Xian said with some sadness: "Sect Master Lin may not know something, Situ Zhentian's relationship with Qinglan has long been broken, and that Dongfang Yunji, who has always supported his favorite concubine, the Dongfang family, has become the queen!"
"I see, then I'll understand it below!"
The goal has been achieved, and Lin Mo no longer deliberately pretends to be stupid, but he burns his gossip soul again, and asks curiously: "Murong family master, please ask me more, why did the queen mother break up with Shen Bo, and what is the reason?"
Hearing that Lin Mo actually asked this, Murong Xian's old face turned red, and he sneered: "I really don't hide it from Sect Master Lin, firstly, Situ Zhentian has always disliked Qinglan from a merchant family like my Murong family, or because Qinglan has been in the palace for many years and has not been able to give birth to an heir for Situ Zhentian, that Dongfang Yunji took the opportunity to confuse Situ Zhentian!"
"But isn't the queen already pregnant with Shen Bo's heir?" Lin Mo was puzzled again.
Hearing this, Murong Xian's face changed again, and he said angrily: "Now that Qinglan is pregnant with Situ Zhentian's child, Situ Zhentian wants to abolish Qinglan's position as Queen Shen." ”
"Why is this?" Lin Mo was even more puzzled.
Previously, Murong Qinglan couldn't conceive an heir, Situ Zhentian wanted to abolish Murong Qinglan, Lin Mo could still understand, but now that Murong Qinglan was pregnant, why did Situ Zhentian want to abolish Murong Qinglan even more?
I'm really confused.
After taking a sip of tea and suppressing his angry and agitated heart, Murong Xian's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he said coldly: "Because that Situ Zhentian suspects that the child in Qinglan's belly is not his." ”
As soon as these words came out, Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, Lin Mo immediately understood the truth.
Murong Qinglan has not conceived a child for more than ten years after entering the palace, but now she is almost forty but she is pregnant, and it is Situ Zhentian who has left Murong Qinglan in the cold for many years, and after being drugged by Murong Qinglan overnight, it is indeed doubtful here.
But Lin Mo knew that it was definitely not just Situ Zhentian who suspected Murong Qinglan of bringing her a green hat, but that although this Murong Qinglan was a queen, he was born in a merchant family and had a humble status, but he had always occupied the position of queen and violated the interests of some people.
In the past, Situ Zhentian and Murong Qinglan had a very good relationship, and those people didn't dare to say anything about it, but now that the relationship between Situ Zhentian and Murong Qinglan has broken down, those people naturally jumped out and wanted to pull Murong Qinglan off the throne of the queen.
Just when Lin Mo pondered the reason, Murong Xian suddenly stood up and bowed to Lin Mo, and pleaded: "Sect Master Lin, the old man only asks you not to cancel the family affairs of your children, as long as you agree, my Murong family, Sect Master Lin, you will be the first to look forward." ”
As he spoke, Murong Xian clapped his palms, and the sound fell, and seven or eight boxes were carried in by the servants and opened in turn, and then, four women dressed as maidservants, but who were born with graceful steps, walked in.
"Sect Master Lin, the total value of the jewels in these eight boxes is more than 200,000 gold leaves, the old man knows that the servant girls that Sect Master Lin did not serve in Lanzhou this time, these four handmaidens are specially found by the old man to serve you. ”
Is this really ...... Appetite for this Sect Master!
Although this thought flashed in his heart, it was only a turn of two for a while, and Lin Mo said seriously: "Murong family master, you understand what you mean, the money is collected in the next, but the maidservant girl doesn't need it, you better bring it back by yourself." ”
"Sect Master Lin, this ......" Murong Xian's heart suddenly became anxious.
What's the matter with this only collecting money and not accepting people? That day the money looks the same, if this Lin Mo collects the money and doesn't admit it, then won't his Murong family lose such a large amount of money in vain, this is the income of the Murong family for nearly half a year, if he doesn't admit the money after receiving it, where will Murong Xian go to reason?
But it's different after accepting someone, this person is unique, Murong Xianke is not afraid of Lin Mo admitting it.
Murong Xian was thinking something, of course Lin Mo knew, and immediately said: "Murong family master, it is a light car to go out on this next trip, and it is really inconvenient to bring extra people with you!"
Hearing this, Murong Xian was stunned and understood, and a smile appeared on his old face: "Since it is inconvenient for Sect Master Lin to bring him around, then the old man will raise them, and in the future, Sect Master Lin will come to Lanzhou like that." ”
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment in his heart, this old man is too good at misinterpreting his own meaning, right? I am refusing to let these four so-called maidservants want to mention what he wants, he is good, and he understands that he will help me raise them first.
But it can't be said that Murong Xian misunderstood, if this is made clear, it is estimated that Murong Xian's old face will no longer be able to carry it in front of him, and I am afraid that he will have to go home.
If Murong Xian returns home, then my Lin Mo's next plan will soon be in vain!
In a blink of an eye, Lin Mo smiled and said, "Let's talk about it again, compared to this, the head of the Murong family is not unable to help your Murong family, but ......"
Lin Mo didn't say anything more, and at this time, Murong Xian also became very smart, and looked at the guards and the four maidservants he brought, and those people also retreated sensibly.
Lin Mo also waved away the rest of the people, and Xi Feng Qiuyun still stayed here as usual.
"Sect Master Lin, please say it, as long as you are willing to help my Murong family, and my Murong family can do it, my Murong Xian will definitely agree. Murong Xian knew that the next step was the main show, and the so-called jewelry beauties were just appetizers.
Lin Mo sipped his tea lightly and pretended to think about it.
After a while, Lin Mo put down the teacup and said in a deep voice: "Murong family master, don't beat around the bush below, I need 20,000 sets of protective gear specially made by your Murong family for war horses, and five craftsmen who can make war horse protective gear, Murong family master rest assured, I guarantee that the five will be returned in one year." ”
As soon as Lin Mo's words fell, Murong Xian was directly stunned.
The cost of creating a set of special armor for war horses is ten gold leaves, and 20,000 sets are 200,000 pieces, which seems acceptable, but if this is sold, there must be at least 200,000 gold leaves in profit!
And the craftsman who also wants to build the war horse, although this will be returned in a year, but the craft has already been learned, and there is no difference between it. Lin Mo is going to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle!
His face was full of embarrassment, and Murong Xian stammered a little: "My lord, this is ...... These 20,000 sets of protective gear for war horses are still ...... old It's acceptable, but this craftsman ......."
"What's wrong?" Lin Mo took a sip of tea calmly and said lightly: "Murong family master, is this unwilling to give it to the craftsman?"
Listening to Lin Mo's rather cold words, Murong Xian, whose face was full of embarrassment, suddenly got up from his seat again, bowed to Lin Mo, and pleaded: "Please also ask Sect Master Lin to calm his anger, this craftsman is old and decrepit and must not be given!"
Putting away the coldness in his words, Lin Mo smiled lightly and asked, "Oh, why is this?"
Wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, Murong Xian hurriedly said: "Sect Master Lin may not know that more than half of my Murong family's business involves the military, and in this business, fifty percent of the profits come from the sale of protective gear for war horses!"
If the process of making war horse armor is leaked, then all the business of his Murong family will be greatly affected, and maybe the Murong family will be ruined from now on.
Seeing that Murong Xian shouted out in detail on his forehead, and his words were even more panicked and a little uneasy, Lin Mo did not say anything directly, but pretended to think for a while before speaking.
"Okay, then I don't need a craftsman!"
Hearing this, Murong Xian was busy thanking Lin Mo, but then he heard Lin Mo put forward another condition.
"I don't want a craftsman, but I heard that in addition to creating special protective gear for war horses, the Murong family's skill in creating special light armor for cavalry is a must, so use 20,000 sets of light armor for cavalry!"
More than half of the Murong family's business involves the army, and most of this business comes from the sale of special protective gear for war horses, and the other fifty percent of the profits come from the sale of light armor for cavalry.
Hearing that Lin Mo didn't want a craftsman, Murong Xian was immediately overjoyed, and nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, the old man agreed, and he replaced it with 20,000 sets of light armor for cavalry." ”
After the business was negotiated, Lin Mo asked Murong Xian to sit down, asked Qiu Yun to pour a cup of hot tea for Murong Xian in person, and promised that after the temptation would help Murong Qinglan, Lin Mo and Murong Xian gossiped about it.
"By the way, Murong Family Master, since the things that should be discussed have been agreed, there is a business here, I don't know if you can do it or not, I guarantee that in less than five years, your Murong family will definitely be among the first-class families in the Great Qian Empire. ”
Hearing that there was a business to do, and that Murong had been among the first-class families in the Great Qian Empire within five years, Murong Xian's old eyes were shining, and his face was full of smiles.
"To be able to do business with Sect Master Lin, the old man is naturally extremely happy, and it is also the honor of the old man!"
