The Bai family father and son paced back and forth in the alley, waiting anxiously to the extreme. Finally, they saw a big belly appear from behind the wall, followed by the gloomy face of Prime Minister Cao.
Mr. Bai wanted to rush over, but after observing his expression, he chose to slap his eldest son on the back.
Bai Dalang staggered.
Cao Fucheng frowned and scolded, "It's not decent to be sneaky! What are you trying to do!"
Bai Dalang turned around and looked at his father.
Dad looked up at the sky.
Bai Dalang pursed his lips and said, "...This paper is easy to make, but the price is..."
He was a little embarrassed. "Master Cao, you know, ever since the Chen family started to make efforts, our Baiji has been losing money. The wages of the clerks, the raw materials for paper, and the deposits from the farmers, we lost nearly eighty taels of silver last month..."
It's just anger.
This Chen Ji is not a human being.
They also took all their apprentices away!
Several master chefs took advantage of the situation to raise their wages, and threatened that if their wages were not raised, they would go to the Chen family!
They had no choice but to accept it!
Hold your breath and wait to make a fortune from the examination papers!
If they really want to lower the price, they might as well not do it!
Why bother doing something thankless?
Bai Dalang was furious when he thought about it, and wiped his eyes in grief and indignation, "We can't even make money doing business for the government... If we tell this to others, who will believe us? Everyone will laugh at us for losing both the wife and the army!"
Cao Fucheng was already holding his breath, and now he was fooled again. Hearing this, he sneered, "It seems that the Bai family doesn't think highly of this business?"
Bai Dalang's crying stopped abruptly.
Mr. Bai stepped forward at the right time, with a bitter face, and said in a humble manner, "This stupid thing can't talk, please don't blame me! - Paper, we probably have an idea in our minds, but we are not sure about the price... If we quote too high, we will lose; if we quote too low, even if we get the business, we can only do it at a loss... We are waiting here, not to complain, but to ask you to show us a way out: -"
"How should I quote this price?"
Minister Cao almost rolled his eyes: this father and son from the Bai family have a kind of stupidity that makes people laugh, just like Xiaoniang Bai who tries very hard in bed but is really not very smart.
How to report?
Coax, cheat, scare, defraud, and steal.
If you want to win in officialdom, you have to do everything you can.
This businessman who came from a small place seemed to have never experienced a major blow and still retained some simplicity and stupidity.
When Cao Fucheng saw the eager eyes of the Bai family father and son, he decided to set the tone first, "... No matter what method you use, you must get this business for me."
It concerns his reputation as an official!
"I don't care whether you make money or not, or whether you have raw materials or not - if you don't have money, go make money! If you don't have materials, go collect them! Don't act like a coward! Don't embarrass me! If you embarrass me, I will shut down your Bai family!"
The Bai family father and son were all silent, as frightened as a cicada.
Seeing the fearful look on the Bai family's face, Cao Fucheng felt relieved and softened his tone. "From what Wang Xuezheng said, if I insist on doing this, it will be difficult. Whether you can get this deal or not depends on you."
The Bai family father and son suddenly had tears in their eyes: What? Didn't they come here to ask for help? Why didn't they get any help, but were given a task instead?
Cao Fucheng's tone softened, "As for the cost and profit you are worried about, I'm putting this on the table. As long as you get this business, I have plenty of ways to allocate money to you. Do you understand?"
Under coercion and inducement, he thought he had said everything.
Bai Dalang didn't understand.
Mr. Bai understood.
What this means is that whether or not they can grab this business depends entirely on themselves as it is not easy for Prime Minister Cao to step in now.
But if they succeed in robbing it, Cao Fucheng can help them make money.
In other words, you don’t have to worry about making money.
As long as their offer is lower than Chen’s, it’s a win!
Before Bai Dalang could ask more, his father grabbed his back.
Cao Fucheng said again, "As for how to rob..."
His wide, fat face wrinkled with smile, "Business is like a battlefield, and matters involving real money must be fought seriously. You come and I go, swords flash, and sabers fly. As long as no one dies, I can still help you suppress it."
Mr. Bai was immediately overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, I would like to thank Lord Cao first. Thank you very much. Please ask Zhaoer to serve Lord Cao well to repay this great kindness."
Thinking of Bai Zhaoer, Prime Minister Cao waved his hands repeatedly.
Well, now he can’t stand it anymore. If he has to “serve” better, I’m afraid his life will be sucked away.
.....
Riding at full speed, Xianjin and Heng Wuniang hurried back to Xuancheng Prefecture overnight.
Xianjin briefly informed Madam Qu of the current situation. He thought that Madam Qu would blame him, but unexpectedly, the old lady nodded calmly and said, "It's up to you. How should you do it? How much money should you make? Just make a scale in your mind."
I even feel like joking with Xianjin.
"You are very good at calculating. You can't possibly let Chen Ji lose money."
Xianjin nodded in agreement.
Heng Wuniang and Xianjin walked out of the corridor side by side to watch the rising morning glow. They did not look tired at all. Their minds were full of excitement and excitement. They didn't even want to sleep.
Heng Wuniang said enviously, "...Your Chen family has truly achieved this by recruiting talents regardless of their background."
Xianjin raised the corners of his lips and smiled.
There is no such thing as eclecticism.
Because she was determined not to get married.
Because she never got married, she would be Chen Ji's property for the rest of her life.
Her thoughts, her actions, the money she earns, and the relationships she builds are all Chen.
