Bai Nuo and the other two walked in with the same steps and sat down opposite Brother Hu.
Looking at Brother Hu's face, Bai Nuo couldn't help but think to herself, "They have the same name, so why are they so different? Even if they don't look the same, one shouldn't be so handsome and the other so ugly!"
How should I put this guy?
First of all, he was fat, Bai Nuo estimated, weighing about 200 pounds, and also quite short, only about 1.65 meters tall.
Just imagine, what would someone who's 165cm tall and weighs 200kg look like? He'd be a ball!
Secondly, he was too fat. His eyes and nose were flat or narrowed into slits, and his face was full of fat. If she hadn't been thinking about important things to do today, she wouldn't have dared to look at him.
They're so ugly I can't even eat.
Bai Nuo quickly looked at Hu Mingmei, seeking comfort.
"Which of you two will talk to me? You?" Brother Hu asked after they sat down.
Moreover, the questions were directed at Bai Nuo and Hu Mingmei.
Because Xia Donglai stood behind Hu Mingmei after he came in, Brother Hu automatically pushed Xia Donglai out.
And because Bai Nuo is a woman, she was also pushed out.
"I'm here to talk to you!" Now that it's time to get down to business, all of Bai Nuo's random thoughts disappeared, and every cell in his body was ready to go.
Seeing that Brother Hu's gaze was not on her, Bai Nuo was not angry. She subtly drew Brother Hu's attention to herself.
"You?" Brother Hu looked at Bai Nuo suspiciously, somewhat incredulous.
"What? Is it not allowed?" Bai Nuo raised her head arrogantly. "Didn't your family produce a princess? Your princess can do business, and she's a woman. If your princess can do it, why can't I?"
“Our princess advocates that girls be strong, which is certainly acceptable. I don’t look down on girls. So, what would you like to talk about?” Brother Hu sized up Bai Nuo and Hu Mingmei for a moment. Seeing that Bai Nuo was dressed the best and had an arrogant expression, like a spoiled person, Brother Hu immediately laughed.
“I’ve heard that your workshop is the best in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so I’d like to come and cooperate with you!” Bai Nuo said.
"Tell me about it!" Brother Hu stared intently at Bai Nuo.
"Brother Hu, I'd like to ask what your name is?" Bai Nuo suddenly asked.
“Hu Quan!” Hu Quan said.
Phew, as long as it's not that name.
“I know you make jewelry for our family here, but I’m here today to ask you to process a batch of goods for me,” Bai Nuo said.
"Processing?"
"Yes, the processing. You guys help me with the parts before the inlay, and we'll do the final steps ourselves!" Bai Nuo said calmly.
"We don't do processing! And if we do, we won't do it this way!" Every business deal of the Hu family will bear the Hu family's mark. Although the goods may not all be sold by the Hu family, this way more people will know about the Hu family.
"Don't rush to refuse! We're here to collaborate with you. We can talk until we agree on anything you disagree with!" Bai Nuo said with a smile. "Take a look at the blueprints first!" Bai Nuo placed the blueprints she brought in front of Hu Quan.
"As long as you're willing to help me, money is no object." Bai Nuo played the part of someone who was naive and rich.
Hu Quan picked up the blueprints while looking at Bai Nuo suspiciously. Bai Nuo was no longer in a hurry; instead, she picked up her teacup and quietly drank.
Hu Quan looked at the drawings, which were all very simple designs that they could make. Moreover, they didn't need to be inlaid, so they used even less raw material.
Now, their shipments are either orders brought in by their parent company or orders they take on themselves, but regardless of the method, they must obtain approval from their parent company to use the raw materials.
However, if he takes on this business, the main family will treat it as finished products and purchase the raw materials accordingly. Then, there will be a surplus of materials, and so...
Hu Quan's eyes darted around.
"How much money are you willing to pay?" Hu Quan asked finally.
"That depends on how much you open," Bai Nuo said with a sly smile.
Bai Nuo haggled with Hu Quan for another half hour before finally agreeing to pay an extra 10% to sign the deal and even draw up a contract.
Bai Nuo signed his name readily, and Hu Quan, seeing that there were no problems, also signed his name.
After signing the contract, Bai Nuo was overjoyed, taking it with her and leaving. Little did she know, Hu Quan was even happier.
After leaving the village, Bai Nuo and Hu Mingmei got into the carriage and drove off quickly.
Inside the carriage, Bai Nuo stared intently at Hu Mingmei. "Second Master, you're very rich!" She thought that only wealthy families were rich, and that Hu Mingmei didn't have much money. After all, Lu Ying had said that Hu Mingmei's situation was very difficult.
In Bai Nuo's mind, it would be good enough if Hu Mingmei could have enough to eat, but when she saw Hu Mingmei giving her money, she realized she was wrong.
Originally, she didn't want to give an extra ten percent of the silver, since ten percent was two or three hundred taels of silver. But who knew that Hu Mingmei would encourage her to give it more boldly, and when she took out the money, Hu Mingmei was very generous and didn't even blink – even though it was just a deposit.
"I am a member of the Hu family, and our Hu family is the richest family in the Great Zhou!" Hu Mingmei said calmly, with an air of "I'm a rich second-generation heir and I'm the richest!" It made people want to slap him!
Let you flaunt your wealth!
"Fine!" Bai Nuo said indifferently, "I don't understand the world of you rich people!" The most money she had was only one or two thousand, and it was gone very quickly. She had no idea what savings were like.
