Chapter 540 The Fish is Hooked
Qin Er stood up bravely, muttering, "One hundred taels, one hundred taels of silver, no, the soap shop earns more than one hundred taels of silver a day.
Even if the teahouse's business is good, it will be around this amount."
He pretended to be confused and looked at Wang Xingwang, "Brother Wang, you lied to me!"
Wang Xingwang saw that the fish had taken the bait, soothed Qin Eryong and sat him down, "Brother Qin, we just settled the bill. You might not be able to earn a hundred taels of silver even if you work hard for most of your life."
Qin Eryong tilted his head and argued, "Let's put it this way. I gave you the recipe for a hundred taels. Why don't I take it and run away to a place where no one knows me? I can open a soap shop and make a lot of money."
Wang Xingwang patted Qin Eryong and looked at him fiercely, "Brother Qin, stop joking.
This business is not something you can do just by talking.
If you don't have someone capable behind you to back up this recipe, you might even risk your life."
Qin Eryong's face turned pale with fear. "My life, Brother Wang, I'm sorry, I just remembered that our boss also said this. She said that if we dare to reveal even a little bit of the recipe, we will pay with our lives.
No, my brother, I'm afraid I'm going to say something wrong."
After Qin Eryong said this, he prepared to slip away.
How could the fat meat in his mouth be lost like this? Wang Xingwang quickly grabbed Qin Eryong and said, "Good brother, I know you took a big risk. How about this, I will give you another hundred taels."
Qin Eryong shook his head, "No, brother, your brother's life can't be worth only two hundred taels of silver!"
Wang Xingwang thought for a moment and said firmly, "Five hundred taels of silver is not enough."
Qin Eryong still insisted on leaving, "Brother Wang, I still cherish my life.
Besides, we have all signed a contract. If we tell the recipe to others, even if we lose our lives, we will probably end up in jail.
I can't sacrifice most of my life for a little money."
Wang Xingwang saw that Qin Eryong was not moved by his persuasion and couldn't help but get anxious. "Then tell me, how much silver is appropriate?"
Qin Eryong stretched out two fingers and said, "Brother Wang, I am not a greedy person. Two thousand taels of silver, if you think it is okay, then it is okay. If not, we will just pretend that it never happened.
However, I have a condition. After you get the prescription, Brother Wang, do not stay in Shunhe County.
Don’t come to Shunhe County to sell this finished soap.”
Wang Xingwang was thinking about this deal in his mind. When he left Qingling City, Zhao Fulai had specifically told him that he must get the prescription no matter what the cost.
He thought that with the relationship between Tian Caihong and Zhang Juexia, he could easily get the prescription.
After all, he could get the prescription without spending a penny, and he would be proud of it when he returned to Qingling City.
But now Tian Caihong's path is blocked, and Zhao Fulai is pressing for money, so he has to spend money to buy a house.
Qin Eryong saw that Wang Xingwang was hesitating and refused to give in. "Brother Wang, you have to consider me as well. After all, you didn't pay for this money.
How about this, you ask the person above you, if he wants to buy it, I will give it to him.
I don’t want to buy it. Let’s just pretend that this never happened.
We are brothers, and we are still brothers.”
After saying this, Qin Eryong turned around again and walked out.
How could Wang Xingwang let Qin Eryong go? He quickly grabbed him and said, "Brother Qin, my good brother, we can't let this matter become unhappy just because of money.
I am still too young. Business is all negotiated. You can't just say whatever you want.
But, considering I'm still young, can you please let me think about it for a while?"
Wang Xingwang forced Qin Eryong to sit down, and he also winked at Wang Xingcai to look at Qin Eryong.
To be honest, Wang Xingcai finally had his eyes opened today. He originally just wanted to have a meal at Zuixianlou, which would be enough for him to brag about for a few days.
But after listening to their conversation, he was completely dumbfounded.
It started with one hundred taels, then two hundred taels, and finally it became two thousand taels.
Once he walked out of this door, even if he wanted to, he wouldn't dare to blow it.
If he said this, the people he knew would definitely think he was crazy.
Wang Xingcai knew a little about Wang Xingwang's background. At this time, Wang Xingcai had a new respect for Qin Eryong.
After all, the only person around him who could talk about such a big business was Qin Eryong.
Qin Eryong was not in a hurry. He sat on the chair and waited calmly for Wang Xingwang.
Although Wang Xingwang had been drinking and his mind was not as sharp as before, he was very sober at this time. He knew the soap recipe, and even if he spent another two thousand taels of silver, Zhao Fulai would be happy.
Thinking of this, he suddenly understood.
"Brother Qin, I'll do as you say regarding the money. Two thousand taels is two thousand taels. However, we have to hand over the money and the prescription."
"That's easy. As long as I see the money, I'll give it to you immediately."
"Okay, how about you come to my house at this time tomorrow?"
Qin Eryong hesitated. He didn't want to take the risk. "Brother Wang, if you think Zuixianlou is a bit far from your home, I remember there's a restaurant near your home called Ruyilou. How about we go there?"
Wang Xingwang pointed at Qin Eryong and said, "Good boy, you are not only courageous but also thoughtful.
Okay, let’s go to Ruyi Tower.”
After achieving his goal, Wang Xingwang felt full of energy as soon as he left the restaurant, and even walked with a breeze.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Wang Xingcai stepped forward and asked, "Brother, I remember you said you wanted to come to my house.
Are you still going? If you are going, when do you plan to go?
Seeing Wang Xingcai so disappointed, Wang Xingwang glared at him angrily and said, "Can't you see I'm busy?
I don't have time to care about these romantic matters.
Let’s put off going to your house for a while!”
"But, where is Dongsheng?"
Wang Xingwang first glanced at Qin Eryong, then raised his voice and scolded Wang Xingcai, "Xingcai, did you not understand what I said? I said I won't be returning to your house for the time being.
As for other things, let’s put them aside for now.”
Wang Xingcai really didn't understand why this man changed his expression so quickly, but he still nodded resignedly. It was his fault because he had no ability!
Alas, once he walked out of the gate of Zuixianlou, he no longer had the desire to show off to others.
He finally understood why he had no money.
The difference between him and those who have money is that he cannot negotiate a business deal worth two thousand taels of silver.
Qin Eryong was actually happier than Wang Xingwang. He had caught such a big fish in his hand, two thousand taels of silver!
Seeing that Wang Xingwang only hesitated for a moment, he agreed. Did he get less?
He went to find Zhang Juexia with a heavy heart.
