In the living room of the Hong family, Hong Ping led the way for Liu Mingzhi and the others.

Hong Ping said politely: "Liu Gongzi came from afar to be a distinguished guest, my Hong family is naturally not slack, Liu Gongzi, please take a seat." ”

Liu Mingzhi naturally sat on one of the two main seats on the side, without the slightest embarrassment: "It seems that the younger generation misunderstood before, since the Hong family can become one of the most famous gentry in Yangzhou, the hospitality is really thoughtful, the head of the Hong family is invited, and the younger generation will not refuse." ”

Hong Feng frowned, even if Liu Mingzhi is the eldest son of the richest man in Jiangnan, but theoretically, he should not steal his position if he is a guest, and the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, what kind of confidence does Liu Mingzhi rely on, and he dares to ignore the rules.

Hong Ping's face also twitched, and he said in his heart that Liu Mingzhi really didn't treat himself as an outsider.

"Serve tea."

The servants served tea to the few people present in turn.

"The best Longjing before the rain, Liu Gongzi tastes it, this is the tea that the old man has treasured for a long time."

Liu Mingzhi took a sip of the tea, it was really a good tea, clear and sweet, fragrant lips and teeth, it was a rare tea, and it could be called a treasured product.

After chewing the tea leaves in his mouth twice, Liu Mingzhi put down the teacup.

Hong Ping looked at Liu Mingzhi and said, "How is it, Liu Gongzi's tea is delicious?" ”

Liu Mingzhi smiled and shook his head: "In the end, it is a small family, it always seems to be a small family, this tea is barely making a living, compared to the Jinshan clouds and mist that my family drinks, it is still a little worse, but it is not bad to drink this Longjing before the rain with the family business of the Hong family." ”

Hong Ping looked stunned, his expression was a little unhappy, this kid of the Liu family really shows the status of the Liu family all the time, but it is too exaggerated.

Jiangnan Liu, Northwest Yun Even though they are the two major families of the Great Dragon Dynasty, but this Jinshan Cloud is the tribute tea in the palace, and the annual output is only more than ninety taels. The wind is strong and he is not afraid to flash his tongue.

The corners of Ma Biao's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart that this young master really dared to brag. He Ma Biao has only drunk this kind of tea a few times in his life, and the people of the Liu family do not have this kind of blessing.

Qi Yun also looked around, not looking at Liu Mingzhi with a confident face, of course she had heard of this kind of tea in Jinshan Yunwu, even her father Jinling Thorn Shi was only fortunate to have a cup of wine in Huainan King Li Yugang, and he had never seen it, even if the Liu family was the richest man in Jiangnan, he could not get rich like this.

It's not that Liu Zhi'an can't afford this kind of tea, but there is no place to buy it if there is silver, and there is no market for it.

But this time they really wronged Liu Mingzhi, Liu Mingzhi said that the subordinates drank and not all the subordinates drank Jinshan Yunwu. He was talking about Ying'er, there were still three taels of Jinshan clouds in Liu Mingzhi's study, and Ying'er could always drink a few cups every time she made tea for Liu Mingzhi.

"Don't talk about tea, the head of the Hong family must know the reason why the younger generation came to the door, and the younger generation doesn't want to hide it, so he will be blunt."

Hong Ping frowned: "How does Liu Gongzi want to solve this matter?" The old man listened to Liu Gongzi's high opinion? ”

"This year's loss of the Liu family has been recognized, and they are willing to meet tens of thousands of taels of silver, hoping that the head of the Hong family can open up the net and not get involved in the affairs of the Liu family's horse farm, how about it?"

Hong Feng smiled disdainfully: "Ten thousand taels of silver? Liu Gongzi, as the eldest son of the richest man in Jiangnan, is really a big deal, and it really can't be a big deal when my Hong family has never seen this bit of silver. ”

Liu Mingzhi chuckled and said: "Hong Gongzi's words are not too full, I have already calculated on the road, although your Hong family claims to the outside world that although you have not made much money from selling Huma this time, you have not lost money, but I don't believe it, I dare to guarantee the ownership of the Liu family's horse farm, and your Hong family's loss of silver this time will never be less than five thousand taels of silver." ”

Ma Biao was anxious: "Young master, don't ......."

"Uncle Ma, don't worry."

Hong Ping's father and son glanced at each other, the bill of the Hong Mansion had just been calculated, how could Liu Mingzhi dare to say these words in such a conclusive manner?

Hong stabilized his mind: "Liu Gongzi is just afraid that he has heard some rumors, although Huma's business this time is not very profitable, but there is absolutely no loss, Liu Gongzi should not believe those rumors." ”

Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Is it? The younger generation is willing to gamble on the Liujia Racecourse, just bet on how much the Hong family lost this time, less than 5,000 taels are willing to present the title deed of the racecourse with both hands, is the owner of the Hong family willing to go to the account book to confront it? ”

"The horse farm business is the top priority of the Liu family, and this bet is still settled, otherwise the old man will inevitably fall into the reputation of bullying the younger generation, and presumably Liu Yuanwai will not agree with Liu Gongzi that you are doing such nonsense."

"Hey..... The head of the Hong family guessed wrong, the father of the family has full authority to let the younger generation accept the affairs of the horse farm, and the younger generation can call the shots, as long as the head of the Hong family agrees. ”

Hong Feng suddenly spoke: "Brother Liu is probably going to be disappointed, the account book was taken by my brother to return the account, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it for a while." ”

"Tsk, that's a shame."

"That's right."

"Hurt my Liu family by a thousand, lose the Hong family by 800, I think this situation is something that neither my father nor the Hong family wants to see, is there no other solution for the head of the Hong family?"

"Liu Gongzi said with a smile, my Hong family has never thought of being an enemy of the Liu family, the old man still knows the reputation of Jiangnan Liu, but your Liu family wants to eat meat, so let us drink some soup and monopolize the horse business in Yangzhou, the old man is worried that Liu Yuanwai will break his stomach."

"So what is the Hong family's idea?"

"My Hong family is willing to invest 200,000 taels of silver and share 10% of the benefits from the Liujia Horse Farm every year, what does Liu Gongzi think?"

"Two hundred thousand taels? One percent profit? The profit of the Liujia Horse Farm is more than 100,000 taels a year, and if you pay 200,000 taels of silver, the Liu family will earn it back in a year or two, so why should my Liu family give up a profit in vain? ”

"Liu Gongzi, the account is not calculated like this, my Hong family's door, friends and others can help the Liu family horse farm double the scale, at that time, more BMWs will be sold in a year, and more silver will be earned, what does Liu Gongzi think?"

"Huh........ When the head of the Hong family said this, he said that my Liu family's connections are not as good as your Yangzhou Hong family? Believe it or not, as long as Jiang Nanliu wants to cooperate, many juniors dare not say it, there are still dozens of gentry like your Hong family, and your bargaining chips are not big enough. ”

"500,000 taels of silver, one percent of the profit of the Liujia Horse Farm, this is the old man doing his best."

"500,000 taels of silver, I can go home and discuss it with the old lady."

"Old lady? Say something disrespectful. Isn't the old lady Liu Gongzi ancient? How did Liu Gongzi discuss with the old lady? ”

"Oh? It turns out that the old lady has already made an ancient, you see I am confused, since the old lady has made an ancient, then there is no need to discuss. ”

Not negotiable?

Hong Ping's face was red, it turned out that Liu Mingzhi was really playing with himself.

"Liu Gongzi has to think clearly, my Hong family can get 2,000 horses this year, and they can get 2,000 horses next year, or even more, and it won't look good to have a lose-lose situation at that time."
