Chapter 752: Something to Say
The Ning family's own business, it is difficult for outsiders to intervene, only caravans can bring outsiders, and the usual practice is to only bring in powerful acquaintances, like Gan's, Ning Peilan has to be a lobbyist, the family can only give Gan a chance by looking at her face, it is estimated that the shares can have one or two achievements, no matter how much money Gan's will definitely not be able to take.
Ning Peilan took Gan's hand, and was about to persuade a few more words, when there was movement outside the door, and the girl was outside to report that the white steward was coming, and Ning Peilan hurriedly responded to let people in.
Bai Kom crossed the threshold with a snack box in his hand and a smile.
"The gentlemen haven't dispersed yet, I'll come over to ask for a cup of hot tea, this is a small dessert brought back by our eldest lord and eldest lady when they went out to visit, let me send some to eat together, the gentleman has already left a few copies, this is for the princess."
"Duke and Mrs. Ye are so polite."
As Bai Ko put the snack box on the table and slowly opened it, Ning Peilan casually picked up a clean teacup from the tea tray, picked up the teapot and poured it seven points full.
"It's cold outside, isn't it? You take two sips first, and if you feel cold, you can ask someone to change the heat again. ”
Bai Ko was not polite at all, picked up the teacup with both hands and took a few sips, nodded, and sat down with a look at Yuandun.
"No, you can."
Ning Peilan smiled faintly, pushed the snack box in front of Gan's again, and told her to eat.
Gan Shi looked at the small and delicate dim sum, but he didn't have any appetite, shook his head, and pushed the dim sum box back in front of Ning Peilan.
"You're pregnant, you can't stand the hunger, and you're easy to get hungry, our banquet hasn't been over for long, I'm not hungry."
Ning Peilan knew that she was in a bad mood, so she didn't say anything more, she took a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, and after biting the epidermis with her teeth, the sweet syrup wrapped in it flowed into her mouth, sweet but not sweet, Ning Peilan squinted her eyes and shook her body happily.
"Not bad! Where did you bring it back? ”
"I really didn't ask about this, I'll tell you tomorrow when I ask." Bai Ko held the teacup to warm her hands, and when she saw that Ning Peilan was happy to eat, she also smiled happily.
"Hmm!" Ning Peilan nodded, took another piece from the box and put it into his mouth.
Gan saw that Bai Ke and Princess Cheng were talking and laughing, and couldn't help but start looking at Bai Ko again, and it could be seen that Ning Peilan really liked Bai Ko and treated her as a sister, obviously one was the princess of the county and the other was an official maid, but there was no distinction between superior and inferior, not only sat at the same table, but even the princess poured tea for her herself.
Although Bai Ko lowered her head for a while and took a sip of tea, the corner of her eye still noticed the gaze of Grandma Xu, but she just pretended not to know and let her see enough.
Ning Peilan ate four or five small desserts in one go before she was satisfied with pushing open the box, calling the girl to come in with warm wipes to wipe her hands and add water to the teapot.
"Bai Ko, do you think that sometimes when we are chatting, asking people to come in and add water is actually quite interrupting the mood and atmosphere?"
Ning Peilan gently stroked the rim of the teacup and said thoughtfully.
"The princess wants something new?" Bai Ko rolled his eyes, pursed his lips and laughed.
"Huh? Have you thought about this question too? Ning Peilan saw Bai Ko's expression, and came to her senses, and Gan's curiosity was also aroused, and she listened quietly.
"Sometimes I want to have a container that can be kept warm without using charcoal, filled with hot boiling water, and poured out after a few hours is still hot water, so that I can prepare a few bottles before going to bed, and I can directly use hot water to wash my face when I get up the next day, instead of going to the fire to burn it, which saves firewood and time."
"Wow, you think more than me, I just had a flash of inspiration, and you think about daily use."
"Because we really need this kind of thing as subordinates, especially in the winter morning, we can just freshen up and dress up, and we don't need to boil hot water first, which saves time to sleep in bed for a while."
"You think really far, but who said that just the subordinates can use it, if it really makes a reliable physical object, all the families in the capital will definitely buy it, and a mansion like ours is even more bought by car, from the master to the subordinate to ensure that everyone has it."
"Well, I think so too, but it's not so easy, the problem of heat preservation can't be solved, it's useless to think about it no matter how much you think, at least you have to ensure that it is kept warm for six hours, boiled water when you get up in the morning, and there is still hot water to drink in the afternoon or evening, how good it is."
"Since you have thought of this, I believe that you will be able to make a physical object in the future, and I will be the first to try it out when the time comes."
"If you really make it, I will send you here, and on the day of your production, if you have this insulated container, prepare enough hot water as soon as possible, and save more trouble."
"I can really tell jokes, I don't know when I was born, can I still prepare enough hot water in advance?"
"Grandma Xu is sitting here, ask her to know, from the time the pregnant woman broke the amniotic fluid, to the child landed, lucky, three hours after the birth, unlucky, it is not uncommon to drag a day and a night, the time is so long, the hot boiled water can not be broken for a moment, there is a special thermal insulation container to pack it is also clean, save the basin with a bucket all the way to it."
Ning Peilan couldn't help laughing, and turned her head to look at Gan, "Look at this little girl, she is not very old and has a lot of experience." ”
Gan Shi also felt funny, "It's not, but Bai Ko is right, when a woman gives birth, the hot water cannot be broken, the mother has to wipe her body, the stable woman has to wash her hands, the baby has to bathe, and all kinds of tools have to be cleaned with boiling water, the consumption of hot water is very large, if you can really make a thermal insulation container before the princess gives birth, you don't have to worry about clean hot water." ”
"Since Sister-in-law Xu has said so, Bai Ko, I can wait for your insulated container, you don't need to keep it warm for six hours, if it comes in handy when I give birth, with the hot water consumption at that time, it is enough to keep warm for half an hour." Ning Peilan said with a smile, "If you really make it, I promise to give you publicity in my circle, and let the female dependents who are going to give birth be your trial people." ”
"With the princess's words, I really have to use my brains, but I will wait until next month, and I still have to take care of completing the errand in the palace before the end of the month."
"yes, you said you were going to send a full-length mirror before the end of the month, how are you doing?"
"The mirror is easy to make, but I have to do some more other supporting items, today is only the fifteenth day of the first month, there is still half a month to go, wait a few days for me to take a few newly completed samples for you to try."
"Okay, I'll wait."
"I also have baby supplies, but you don't need it now, Princess, the youngest son under the princess's knee can use it, and the child can almost sit and crawl now."
"Huh? You know that you are worried about the crown princess, and Sister-in-law Xu is still sitting here, can't she use the daughter under her knees? ”
"Babies under half a year old are mainly active in bed, not on the ground, at most they are prepared in advance, but for babies of seven or eight months, they can already grasp things, play with toys, and toys can be a headache when they are thrown away."
Gan Shi smiled, "Since Bai Ko said so, then I will boldly wait for the princess's trial experience." ”
"Grandma Xu, just rest assured, when our little sister arrives in the month, the prince will definitely give a set."
"That's it, it's an uncle's gift to my niece, and Sister-in-law Xu just accepts it, and if you have any opinions, you can mention it." Ning Peilan smiled, raised her hand and touched her stomach, "Oh, I'll ask Bai Ko to take a hook at this time, and I can't wait to give birth now." ”
Gan and Bai Ko both laughed at once, and the solemn atmosphere in the room when they had chatted earlier had long since been unconsciously dispersed.
The three of them chatted happily, and Gan knew that her family scandal had been completely uncovered in front of Ning Peilan and Bai Ko, so she became more and more relaxed, chatting and chatting, and the topic of the three of them turned back to business.
Bai Ko really can't come up with any good ideas, Grandma Xu is now fighting alone, she doesn't know how long she can hold out now, and she has to be ready to withdraw her shares, and other shareholders will take over her shares.
"Actually, I can transfer my shares to my second brother, but if I do this rashly, they will definitely ask why, and I can't lie to them, but if I tell the truth, my second brother will definitely rush over and beat Gu Xu again." Gan said embarrassedly.
"If your second brother is involved, in addition to the conflict that may cause conflict between the two of you, there is another point, we, the shareholders, may not be willing to accept your second brother to replace you, after all, your second brother is an outsider in our circle, we don't know what he thinks about this kind of business that invests a lot of money but doesn't know when it will be able to see the benefits, will he always cooperate? What if he gets dissatisfied one day and adds chaos to it? This will make it very difficult for us, not to mention that if you want to withdraw your shares, the rest of our shareholders will have priority, and the contract is clearly written, just to prevent unfamiliar outsiders from entering and destroying our overall unity. Ning Peilan analyzed indifferently with a businessman's expression, Bai Ko was silent, she generally didn't speak on farm matters, even if she wanted to speak, it was only between major shareholders.
"Alas, I really don't have business material, I only thought that he was my second brother, and I was willing to take over my shares, but I didn't think about whether his joining was suitable for all shareholders." Gan shook his head in frustration.
"Sister-in-law Xu, it's not that I don't give you face, you also know the cause of this farm, Gu Yun has his own income, and he takes his buddies and brothers to earn money together, and the risks in farming are the same as in business, and if there is a natural disaster, there may be no harvest. I didn't think it clearly when I first invested, and I found that I couldn't hold it up to now, which is a very irresponsible thing, no matter which shareholder is willing to take over, it is an unplanned expenditure for individuals, and it will definitely kill your price, you can't recover the capital you spent a lot, and the loss will be determined, and at the same time, the reputation of your husband and wife in our circle will also decline, and who will think about you if there is a good thing in the future? ”
Gan Shi listened to Ning Peilan's words, she was so sad that she wanted to cry again, she couldn't say anything to defend herself, the idea was her husband's idea, but it was indeed her who paid for it, and she invested it without accurately estimating her financial resources at the beginning, and the current situation is all self-inflicted, and she can't blame anyone.
