Wen Chen didn't bother to explain to him, and asked bluntly, "You just say whether you can fight or not, you don't have to worry about the rest!" ”

The shirtless man raised his eyebrows, "What are these words?" Just your bunch of things, Lao Tzu and I work hard for a day, but once sold, you are not responsible, you regret it in the future, but don't look for Lao Tzu to return it! ”

"Don't worry, I don't have the habit of looking for a post-account." Wen Chen smiled and waved his hand.

"I want twenty sets of parts on the drawings, you look at it and give a friendly price!"

The shirtless man sneered, thinking to himself that since you kid was in a hurry to send money to Lao Tzu, there was still a reason to refuse it?

"Each set of twenty taels of silver, adding up to a total of four hundred taels, pay the money first and then deliver the goods!"

Four hundred taels ......

Wen Chen touched the purse in his arms, slightly hesitating.

The man looked at his embarrassed expression and mocked, "No money? Don't have the money to learn how to play with other people? ”

"Hehe, have you ever heard of zero-yuan purchase?"

"What is a zero-dollar purchase?" The man frowned.

Wen Chen smiled and said seriously, "It means that I don't believe in your craftsmanship, from today onwards, as long as you are qualified to make a set of parts I need, I will pay you a salary, not pay you first!" ”

"Huh?" The man touched the stubble on his face, and hesitated for a moment.

Since Liu Gongzi failed to ascend to heaven and broke his leg, he has been smearing his craftsmanship everywhere in the city, making the business in the store deserted, and now he finally has a big job, and there are such unreasonable demands?

Wen Chen smiled and said nothing, if it weren't for the shirtless man's kindness to persuade him before, this opportunity to build a water-powered textile machine to leave a name in history would never have been his turn!

"But ......, I can leave you a deposit of forty taels of silver first, which is considered my sincerity!"

When the shirtless man heard that he could get four taels of silver, his heart was relieved, and he immediately agreed!

"Good! I've done this job! ”

Half an hour later, Wen Chen looked for a walk and appeared at the door of the Li family's house, the largest cloth merchant in Qingcheng.

Looking at the lofty door in front of him, Wen Chen nodded lightly, it seems that he is not looking for the wrong place, the face alone is much more bluffing than the Tan Mansion!

He didn't want to be in such a hurry, but along the way, he found that the beggars that were everywhere on the streets on weekdays had not been seen today.

The number of beggars in a place shows the skill of the parents and officials in this place, and if someone from above comes down to inspect them, of course they must be hidden......

"Ma Ruyi said that his teacher will come to Qingcheng recently, and there is a high probability that it will be these two days, so he has to seize the opportunity......"

But for a little-known person like him, it is basically impossible to see the head of the Li family, so even if he is reluctant, he still has to use the name of the Tan family!

"Little brother is troublesome, saying that the Tan Mansion sent someone to find Shopkeeper Li to discuss!"

Wen Chen walked up to the door and said kindly to the janitor who was chatting.

The little boy glanced at him lightly, "Wait! ”

Sure enough, within a while, there was a hearty laugh in the compound.

"Is Brother Li coming back, do you want to invite my Lao Li to drink?"

Wen Chen looked at Li Youcai, who came up to meet him, and immediately bowed down, "Boy Wen Chen, this time I'm here to help Shopkeeper Li!" ”

"Help?" Li Youcai glanced at Wen Chen suspiciously.

"This is what Brother Tan meant?"

"My Lao Li doesn't remember sending someone to ask Brother Tan for help, right?"

Wen Chen's face did not change, and he said, "This matter has nothing to do with Shopkeeper Tan, it is to help Shopkeeper Li, because I am worried that Shopkeeper Li will not meet, so I reported the name of Manager Tan without authorization." ”

Li Youcai frowned slightly and looked at Wen Chen, "Young man, although my old Li is not a daily manager, I don't have time to accompany you here for recreation, if there is nothing else, I will go and get busy first." ”

As the head of the Li family, Li Youcai has seen a lot of things like this kind of guy who has nothing to do, it is nothing more than to see the Li family's family prominent, and he has come up to set it up, Li Youcai has already classified Wen Chen as a liar in his heart.

If you don't learn well at a young age, you will engage in these crooked ways!

Wen Chen saw a trace of impatience on Li Youcai's face, and even turned around to leave, and immediately said:

"Shopkeeper Li, it's June now, I got the news that the officials sent by Tianjing City to order cloth are afraid that they will soon arrive in Qingcheng, as we all know, this business is the highlight of the year for the Li family, but the profit is thin, but if the date of delivery of cloth is delayed, Shopkeeper Li will be punished......"

As soon as he heard this, Li Youcai frowned, it is not a secret that the imperial court comes to Qingcheng every year to collect cloth, but every time those eunuchs come, he has to have a headache for a long time, due to the heavy tasks sent from above every time, he has to push off a lot of other businesses with high profits.

If you do it well, you should do it, and if you don't do it well, you can't eat and walk around!

But even so, the cloth manufacturer appointed by the imperial court has become the golden sign of the Li family, bringing them many merchants who come to Dasheng from all over the world, and it is absolutely impossible to give up.

But when these words came out of this kid's mouth, Li Youcai couldn't help but have doubts:

"You kid want to choke?"

Wen Chen on the side saw that he had already taken the bait, and took over the conversation unhurriedly, "I know that Shopkeeper Li will miss a lot of big business every year in order to be busy with the orders of the imperial court, and the fundamental reason is that there is a shortage of skilled workers, and there is no way to meet the needs of everyone. ”

"In this way, the Li family can not only complete the orders of the imperial court, but also not delay their own business, the best of both worlds."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Youcai finished listening, his expression instantly became annoyed, and he said indifferently, "Young man, a skilled worker with half the salary, are you fooled?" ”

has been in the cloth business all his life, and he is the largest cloth merchant in Qingcheng, can he still not understand the market?

The two janitors behind the door couldn't help but laugh sarcastically when they heard what Wen Chen said.

I'm afraid this kid wants to climb high branches and wants to go crazy, right? Use this absurd reason to fool the lord? It's a pipe dream!

"My Li family has always done good deeds and accumulated virtues, if you really encounter any difficulties, Lao Li is willing to lend you some silver taels to tide over the difficulties, and the interest is calculated according to the lowest local rate!"

"But if you used this kind of lie to fool Lao Li from the beginning, then I'm sorry, I won't accompany you!"

In his opinion, this matter is really a fantasy, how can there be such a good thing in the world?

Wen Chen has always been very calm, this kind of negotiation of disparity in status, he has not experienced much in the early days of entrepreneurship, and it is not a problem.

On the contrary, from his words, he felt that Li Youcai was a relatively high-level candidate for cooperation, and he came to the door in vain.

"If Shopkeeper Tan doesn't believe it, you can test the water first, and dare to ask how much cloth can the skilled workers of the Li family weave in a day?"

Li Youcai snorted, "The fabric that is two feet two wide and four feet long can be woven one horse a day!" ”

Wen Chen nodded slightly, "Then let's do it, Shopkeeper Li only needs to provide silk thread raw materials, and weave six hundred pieces of cloth in three days, how about it?" ”

"Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! ”

Li Youcai has already concluded that this kid is here to make fun of himself today, if he really has the help of the Tan family behind him, it is indeed not difficult to complete the work of these five hundred pieces of cloth, but Wen Chen has already said that this is his business with the Li family, an insignificant blind stream, how can he mobilize hundreds of people to work for him at half the price?

"Lao Li, I don't have time to talk to you, I won't send it if I go slowly!"

Wen Chen's face did not change, and he laughed lightly, "Shopkeeper Li doesn't have to make a decision quickly, you can wait for three days first, I will still be at this price within three days, and then every day after that, the salary will increase by one percent." ”

As he spoke, he took out a note with his address from his arms and stuffed it into Li Youcai's hand, "Shopkeeper Li has thought about it, you can come here to find me." ”

What?

Li Youcai laughed angrily, stinky boy, do you know which one has the initiative now? Have you gotten a wage increase?

"Don't worry, my Li family never cooperates with liars!"

After that, Lao Li threw off his sleeve robe and turned away, and the note handed to him by Wen Chen was also thrown at the door.

"Silly boy, what are you doing there? Waiting for us to ask you to go? ”

The boy who was guarding the door picked up a broom from the side and flipped it in his hand, full of threat.

"Things that don't have long eyes, the deception has reached my Li family, and I don't inquire, when did my lord be fooled?"

Wen Chen smiled and said nothing, instead of feeling frustrated, he was still very excited in his heart!

Judging from Li Youcai's sensitivity to the news he said, he should not have seen the officials sent by Tianjing City to collect the cloth, which shows that he has seized the opportunity!

In the subsequent negotiation process, we will also have more initiative!

Ma Ruyi, Ma Ruyi, you really gave me a big gift!

The only thing that needs to be done now is to wait, wait for the hydrotextile machine to be completed, and wait for Li Youcai, a big fish, to be completely hooked!

Just half an hour after Wen Chen left the Li Mansion, two dark red sedan chairs slowly stopped at the door.

Li Youcai, who was practicing calligraphy in the study, was still angry about what Wen Chen had done just now, and his handwriting was slightly scribbled.

A subordinate is also worthy of playing music with my Lao Li?

I really don't know how thick the sky is, if you dare to come over again, I will definitely teach you a good lesson!

"Sir, there is a guest outside the door."

A gray-clad boy cautiously walked in, holding a letter of worship in both hands.

Li Youcai didn't raise his head, "Say I'm not there." ”

"Master, let's take a look first, I really can't help but ...... this time."

Li Youcai was just about to get angry, and the afterglow swept to the big red salute in the hands of his subordinates, and his pupils shrank in an instant!

How did it happen so suddenly?!
