I was Idle and Cool Chapter 119: Businessman

He Xing couldn't understand Lu Jinxi.

But he doesn't need to understand, just listen.

So after confirming that she would not change her mind, although he still had some doubts in his heart, he suppressed them all, and led Yin Ping to retreat.

This kid in the road also muttered: "Really, Brother He, don't believe it, I think those people are really evil people..."

The sound fades away.

Lu Jinxi sat behind the desk and didn't say a word. After reading the things she had revised, she put it away, washed and fell asleep.

The night passed quickly.

This time, because I had already rested the night before and had things to do early in the morning, Lu Jinxi didn't oversleep, and Qing Que had been waiting for her to get up and wash.

After breakfast, while there were not many people on the street, she took them directly to Haoyue Building.

This is a restaurant.

Yesterday, Lu Jinxi passed by when he was going out for a walk. He paid special attention to the arrangement of the rooms above the restaurant and thought it was a good place to talk business, so he asked Sheng Longchang's second master to meet him here.

In addition, Yu Hexing and the others came here to investigate early, so she was not worried at all.

In the early morning, the restaurant just opened.

At this time, both the shopkeeper and the guys had just woken up, and the cooks were still packing the ingredients in the back kitchen, and they didn't even have time to raise the fire.

Suddenly seeing a guest coming in, Qi Qi was stunned for a moment.

Lu Jinxi smiled lightly and said politely, "Do you think I want a private room on the second floor facing the street corner, with some snacks and a good tea pot?"

Her dress is ordinary, but her bearing is truly extraordinary.

The accent from the capital can be vaguely heard.

Then the shopkeeper immediately realized that he was a distinguished guest, and he was not here to eat.

In business, how can you stop money from entering the door?

Selling tea is also possible.

So the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then laughed quickly, and said directly: "Of course it will, of course it will, but this year's new tea hasn't been served yet. How about Tieguanyin or Dahongpao in Fujian last autumn?"

"Da Hong Pao."

Tieguanyin is an oolong tea, and people in the north always drink heavier tea, so Lu Jinxi thought about it and chose the latter.

"Good good."

The shopkeeper responded and summoned another man, asking him to lead Lu Jinxi's way up to the second floor.

It will be ready in no time.

This private room is on the corner of the street, facing windows on both sides, and there are no tall buildings on the opposite side. The view is wide, and others can't see what's inside, so it's an excellent location.

Sitting inside, you can actually see the situation below at a glance.

Lu Jinxi sat down and looked outside, and he could see He Xing and several other people scattered in the corner across the street, observing the situation of people passing by.

More than a quarter passed, approaching the appointed hour.

Downstairs, in the direction of Sheng Longchang, a sedan came and stopped downstairs. The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and a man in a dark blue robe came out.

In her thirties, she is quite tall.

He is not impatient, showing a calm taste; he is holding a cigarette rod in his hand and a cigarette bag hanging from it; around his waist is a piece of topaz in the shape of a wish.

A square face, already wrinkled, looks older than its actual age.

Although the person has a warm and peaceful feeling, when he came out of the sedan chair, his brows were slightly wrinkled, as if he was troubled by some incomprehensible problem.

There is another person next to the proud son, who came in with him.

Lu Jinxi recognized it at a glance. It was the shopkeeper of Sheng Longchang whom he saw yesterday, called Qian Mingda.

"snack blah blah..."

After the shrill voice, there were footsteps going upstairs, from far to near, and soon to the door.

"Knock knock."

Someone knocked on the door.

Then came a polite and restrained voice: "Sheng Long Sheng Xuan, come to the appointment."

"Please come in."

While speaking, Lu Jinxi had already stood up.

Qing Que stepped forward to help open the door, and invited Sheng Xuan and Qian Mingda, the shopkeeper under his hand, to come in together.

It was fine outside the door, but when he raised his head and looked at Lu Jinxi, the expressions of the master and servant suddenly changed.

Sheng Xuan is not bad.

He knew the identity of this lady early in the morning when Lu Jinxi contacted him by correspondence, so he made some inquiries.

So, even if shocked by its appearance, it is still stable.

But Qian Mingda is different.

He only heard from his owner that there would be distinguished guests coming to discuss business, so he came along today. Along the way, I was thinking, who is this distinguished guest, and what kind of business is going on.

When I saw it, I was shocked!

It turned out to be a woman!

And she's a very good looking woman!

Is it a mistake?

Where in the world are there women who come out to talk business with people and do business outside? And still prosper with them...

As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse!

"Second, Second Master, let's..."

Qian Mingda's eyes were a little straight, but he only suspected that he had entered the wrong door, so scared that he couldn't even straighten his tongue.

Sheng Xuan took a deep breath, obviously calm, and then hugged Lu Jinxi with both hands and bowed: "Sheng Xuan has seen his wife."

"Second Master Sheng is very kind."

Today, Lu Jinxi treated himself as a businessman, and did not pretend to be a high-ranking official in the imperial court.

"Today is about business, don't let it go."

Qian Mingda's eyes widened, looking at Lu Jinxi like a ghost.

Sheng Xuan felt that this lady was too different from what he imagined.

Judging from the exchange of letters, the other party's words were decent and his ideas were amazing, which was far from the impression of the general's wife in the capital. In addition to the relationship between Gu Juefei, he always felt that there should be a master behind this lady, that is Gu Juefei himself.

But now...

People are like green lotus waiting for the moon, but there is no shyness in the eyes of a girl in a boudoir, and the subtle expression reveals a kind of old hotness that can only be experienced by people who have been rolling in the mall.

Not sleek, even sharp.

But with just a casual glance, Sheng Xuan can judge that, in the business field, this may not be a gentle woman, but a vicious beast.

The feeling of jealousy was almost instantaneous, and it was accompanied by that dislocated feeling of stepping in the air.

Sheng Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Since you said this, Sheng Mou is relieved. Compared with the General's Mansion, Sheng Longchang is no more than a businessman, and he can't stand the slightest crush. Sheng is really flattered to be able to talk business with you.”

This time, Qian Mingda was dumbfounded.

It wasn't until this time that he realized the identity of the woman sitting opposite his boss, and he almost fell to his knees.

Fortunately, Lu Jinxi's attention was all on Sheng Xuan, and he didn't pay much attention to him. At this time, he just laughed: "Second Master Sheng knows that he is here to discuss business today. What business do I want to do? It's already explained in the letter. I don't know what you think?"

Border business.

She is naturally very interested in this one.

In his early years, he wanted to study, but that family change ruined everything...

The old father was so angry with the elder brother that he fell ill. After the stroke, he could only speak intermittently, but he did not want the elder brother to inherit the family business.

He took his hand before dying and watched with tears.

Sheng Xuan didn't want to go into business, and he didn't think he had such acumen and talent, but at that moment, he understood his father's eyes.

——He wants him to inherit the family business and does not want to leave the family business to his elder brother.

In fact, Sheng Xuan almost did it.

He's not good at business, but the scholars piled up and followed Liluchang, and he begged Gu Juefei to borrow some ideas, thus settling the original chaos, and also left his ancestral property and Shenglongchang.

Outsiders thought that his eldest brother Sheng Hong was at odds with him, so he left Shaanxi to develop in the Central Plains.

But the opposite is true.

The reason why Sheng Hong will go to the Central Plains is that three points are because the border battle is over, and the Central Plains is the place where business opportunities gather, but more than seven points are due to being forced!

Shaanxi Shenglongchang, or North Shenglongchang, was held tightly by Sheng Xuan, like a bunch of hedgehogs, and Sheng Hong couldn't find a place to speak.

I can't even touch half of my children, what can I do with ambition?

Instead of spending time in Shaanxi, it is better to go to the Central Plains to develop, and then return to Shaanxi to compete with him when he has the capital.

Isn't it already coming?

She is still worried when she thinks of what happened yesterday.

It's just that at the moment he can't let Lu Jinxi see any clues, and he even knows that the business of border trade is Sheng Longchang's life-saving straw, and he can't let it go.

So he restrained his emotions a little, Sheng Xuan looked solemn, and after thinking for a while, replied: "Madam has insight into my situation in Sheng Longchang, and I have the intention to do border trade. I, Sheng Longchang, happen to be located in Shaanxi, and goods are passing through. Convenience. If we can cooperate, it is really a good opportunity from God, and Sheng is naturally interested. It's just that his wife contributed the money and Sheng Longchang contributed. I don't know how to move the money and divide the dividends. Do you have any ideas?"

In modern terms, this is a business negotiation.

Every cent of the discussion is for the future benefit.

Lu Jinxi had already started to formulate a plan after he was ready to intervene in the border trade, and naturally he came prepared today.

She didn't talk nonsense, she directly took out a stack of paper from her sleeve and put it on the desk.

This is what I edited and re-transcribed yesterday.

Lu Jinxi smiled: "Look."

She didn't expect her to do this, and immediately knew that she was afraid that she had misunderstood the other party too deeply——

It's not just coming prepared, it's well prepared!

It is obvious that he has already thought about all the details of this matter, and has his own ideas, and he is not ready to let him be at the mercy of him, let alone what he says.

Not some deep house woman, but a real businessman!

If the moment he saw the stack of paper, the cognition in Sheng Xuan's mind was just an intuition; then, after he carefully read all the content written on the stack of paper, this intuition has been completely confirmed.

He even felt a chill in his heart.

After reading it, it took a long while to calm down. When he looked up at Lu Jinxi, his eyes were different.

Looking at this change, Lu Jinxi couldn't be more clear.

No matter how polite I said before, this second master Sheng, who is in charge of Sheng Longchang, only regards her as the official wife of the general's mansion; it was not until after reading this thing that she really regarded her as a business cooperation. , and even say...

An opponent.

"What do you think?"

Lu Jinxi looked at Sheng Xuan's demeanor and asked questions with a calm smile.

Sheng Xuan looked at the stack of papers, then handed it to Qian Mingda, the shopkeeper standing behind him, motioning him to look at it, then took a deep breath and said, "This is what Madam wrote. Things, from the big to the big picture, to the small details, are all bad, and Sheng really admires them.”

This is a very high rating.

But Lu Jinxi didn't show any happy expression on his face. Knowing that he still has something to say, he continued to ask: "Then what do you feel dissatisfied with, do you want to change it?"

"In this matter, Mrs. paid the money, and Sheng Longchang contributed. It stands to reason that Sheng should have no dissatisfaction with such terms. It's just..."

He paused and seemed to hesitate, but finally said it.

"It's just that Sheng feels that the proportion of profit and dividends is unreasonable and needs to be discussed."

On the paper is Sanqi.

Lu Jinxi contributed the money, and there was news and assurance from the court; Sheng Longchang contributed to the distribution and transportation of specific goods. After removing the corresponding loss and overhead, the net profit is divided.

The third is Sheng Longchang and the seventh is Lu Jinxi.

Sheng Xuan just thinks this is inappropriate.

Lu Jinxi also knew that.

She even knew exactly which point Sheng Xuan could easily accept, and she also felt that it was okay. After all, she changed the percentage of dividends herself last night.

But now, she just didn't know what to do. She brought the tea, took a slow sip, moistened her throat, and said, "Boss Sheng thinks 30% is not enough?"

"Manpower and goods must be prosperous. Madam just invests a piece of money, and then sits and reaps the profits. How can the world's money make money be so easy?"

This kind of cooperation, Sheng Xuan is not untouched in the past.

"According to the old rules, most people cooperate on five or five. After all, running a business is laborious and laborious. It is not easy. Border trade matters involve both countries. Kind."

Be kind?

Do you need kindness?

Lu Jinxi squinted her eyes and smiled, but she didn't think there was any problem with this ratio. The little bit of sharpness that was hidden between her eyebrows and eyes finally revealed some clues,

She put down the tea cup, then looked directly at Sheng Xuan, and said: "I am also a businessman. It seems that I paid the money, it is easy and tight; you and Sheng Longchang contributed hard work. With my money, you can't do anything, and I'm afraid you won't be able to find someone who is willing to invest money for you in a short period of time, right?"

Sheng Xuan did not speak.

Lu Jinxi tapped the armrest of the chair leisurely, and the more she spoke, the more confident she became: "What's more, I am the one who paid the money, and I have already taken the biggest risk. Longchang followed to make money. After having money in hand, fools can continue to do border trade business, and it is located in Shaanxi. No worries that Sheng Longchang will not be able to prosper; if not, it is me who loses money. ? In this world, risk and benefit are always related. If I can afford this risk, I should have the benefit relative to this risk. Do you say yes or no?"

“…”

Be reasonable, not a single word is wrong.

But at this time, Sheng Xuan looked at her as if he was looking at some blood-sucking evil spirit. There was an uncontrollable anger in his eyes, but he couldn't show it.

Even if you are no longer good at business, but you have followed your father and brother for so many years, and have been struggling for a while, you still know the basics.

She knew very well that she couldn't have a seizure.

Because of Sheng Longchang at this time, there is no qualification to refuse!

This woman!

The lady of the General's Mansion!

I deliberately chose this juncture to discuss this cooperation with him!

Others don't know, how can he not know?

Sheng Hong's side has already started to make trouble.

The merchants who originally cooperated with Sheng Longchang didn't want to get involved in trouble. I'm afraid that the business of Beisheng Longchang would plummet when the news came out soon.

Guys and shopkeepers, they are all waiting for their wages!

It's not easy to get people together, but it's easy to disperse.

One gap is opened, and the rest will be like an avalanche, and it will be destroyed in an instant.

Sheng Xuan needs money and a big enough business!

First, in order to stabilize the current situation and prevent Bei Sheng Longchang from being swallowed by Sheng Hong; second, in order to save Sheng Longchang's predicament, the dead horse is used as a living horse doctor, and he can save him anyway.

But Lu Jinxi, this bite was too hard!

She's determined that he doesn't dare to delay!

Once the delay continues, it's fine to maintain the status quo, but if Shenghong has an advantage and weakens Beisheng Longchang's power, does the Lu family still need to cooperate with Shenglongchang?

Even if you are willing to look for it, the percentage of dividends will be even lower!

Because Sheng Longchang at that time was more "no choice" than at this moment!

A heart feels like it's being squeezed, and it hurts so badly.

Sheng Xuan took a few deep breaths and drank another sip of tea before he managed to suppress the churning emotions in his chest. He lowered his voice and said, "I really can't talk about it anymore? Madam, what do you think about Four or Six?"

"Don't talk about it."

Lu Jinxi didn't have to think about it, she just shook her head and spoke very straightforwardly.

"Sanqi. If you are willing, you can sign a contract almost immediately; if you are not willing, I will hurry up and find another home; or are you willing to consider it? But it's not right, I'm coming from the capital, and the time is short. Not very well-off, at most you can think about it for a day."

“…”

Sheng Xuan's face changed, and he was speechless again.

Lu Jinxi got up, walked to the window, looked down, and said lightly: "I think you, Boss Sheng, are not very shrewd in business, but you should understand things very clearly. Sheng Longchang The big ship is about to topple, and now some people have taken a fancy to the foundation of this ship and want to help it. If it was me, not to mention 30%, or 10%, this business is also a must.”
