Chapter 589 591. Negotiation
At this moment, Wu Yichen really sympathized with those Dongyi people. They were simply being plotted against to the core.
Twenty years later, even if these people were not old or frail, they would still have to rack their brains to find a ticket to go back home.
Even if they regain their freedom, they will face more problems.
"What if they can't afford the boat ticket by then?" Lu Shenggen asked, scratching his head.
Gu Wenheng, "This is easy. These people will have descendants. When the time comes, someone will come to redeem them..."
Moreover, with the current development of the navy, as long as there is no deviation, the Dongyi will not dare to stir up trouble again.
In this way, the national treasury can get more income, and I think the local officials will be happy about it.
It seems that this matter has to be recorded in the local chronicles. I wonder who will be able to reap such a huge political achievement many years later.

Jin Qianqian didn't expect that the person sent by the emperor to take over this business was actually the same old acquaintance.
Bai Jinglie was also helpless. Now in the capital, the old marquis was in critical condition. Normally, he should run back to fulfill his filial duties at this moment.
However, he did not expect that the emperor would send him a handwritten letter asking him to come again to contact Jin Qianqian.
He still remembered that more than two years ago, due to lack of trust, he only invested 100,000 shares. Although it brought him some profits, it was enough to make him feel anxious.
The huge amount of money in front of him just flew away like that. He couldn't eat or sleep well for two or three months.
He didn't expect that he came here this time because of maritime trade. Now he finds it difficult to understand Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian.
Even if it is not in this Lu City, as long as the people under me are loyal enough, although there will be some impact more or less, it should not be a big problem. Why should I get rid of it?
But he would not ask such a question. Now, he and the emperor were the ones who benefited, and he did not want to make things worse.
"Prince Bai is truly the emperor's right-hand man," Jin Qianqian adjusted her mentality as she sat down.
“Madam Gu, I am also relying on you and Master Gu to follow behind and drink some soup.
Along the way, I already knew the price that Madam had offered, but I am short of money now and I really can't afford so much money."
Jin Qianqian was not surprised that he started crying poor right at the beginning. Since the news spread, many people have asked about it, but few of them are actually able to accept it.
And everyone is waiting and watching, and some are even thinking that if it doesn't work out, they will divide the business among themselves.
"You are joking, Master Bai. You work for His Majesty, and you have made a lot of money in the past few years."
Bai Jinglie rolled his eyes in his heart. He didn't know why this emperor had such a hobby. Everything only went in and never out. Now he gave him such a difficult problem. He wanted him to get something for nothing.
But he didn't think about the fact that the person in front of him was a fox, so it would be strange if he could get anything good.
"Madam, I think you can understand my difficulties. Can you give me a break on the price?"
All business deals are negotiated, and nowadays people also care about face. In the past, we got a good deal for free because others offered it to us voluntarily.
Nowadays, if you want to get this golden egg industry, you have to pay something.
Jin Qianqian chuckled and said, "Even if I give you a discount, I don't think Master Bai can afford so much money!"
Bai Jinglie: “…” You already know everything, but you still say this. Isn’t this embarrassing for both parties?
Jin Qianqian: "..." As long as I'm not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
"...Please tell me clearly, Madam Gu," Gu Wenheng didn't believe that the person in front of him didn't have a solution, otherwise the emperor would not have let him come here at this critical juncture.
Jin Qianqian: "..." You are just trying to beat around the bush, Madam.
She reached out to take the notebook from Lichun's hand, put it on the table, and pushed it directly in front of Bai Jinglie.
Bai Jinglie gave her a puzzled look before starting to look through the pages.
After a long while, he looked at Jin Qianqian with a complicated expression, "Madam Gu is very talented, Bai admires her."
Before I came here, what I thought about most was the best outcome, which was to write an IOU.
Now it seems that I was too narrow-minded.
Just follow the above rules and regulations and list all the details clearly.
What surprised him the most was that she did not want a single cent of silver to transfer so many shares, but instead wanted half of the proceeds from ten sea caravans or three levels of items.
Don’t underestimate these ten sea trade trips; it would take five years to go back and forth.
Just these are enough for Jin Qianqian to make a fortune.
"Of course, I'm not the kind of person who just asks for things," Jin Qianqian saw that the other party was somewhat tempted, but did not agree, and immediately increased the chips in her hand.
"The skilled boatmen I have are all available for you to use for five years. As for whether you can keep them in the future, that depends on your courage."
"As far as I know, many of the boat workers are locals. I think they will be willing to stay on the boat. Isn't it inappropriate to use this as a condition?"
At this moment, Jin Qianqian asked Lidong to put the stack of contracts in his hand on the table, indicating that Bai Jinglie could do as he pleased.
Bai Jinglie's expression changed immediately after he flipped through a few pages.
These people have all signed ten-year employment contracts with Madam Gu, and only two years have passed, so there is really no way for him to take advantage of this loophole.
"Madam, did you already figure it out two years ago?"
Jin Qianqian laughed, "How is this possible? I'm not a fortune teller.
However, all the people working under me, except those who sell their indentures, all other outsiders who are summoned must sign a ten-year contract.
This lady did not expect that our fate with Lucheng would be so shallow. We have just revitalized a city, but we have to reluctantly give it up. "
Bai Jinglie, "..." I really don't see how you reluctantly gave up? And the way he looked for the knife was really neat, enough to pierce a few holes in a person's body.
"Madam Gu, don't forget that Bai is working for His Majesty."
The implication is that Jin Qianqian should not go too far.
Jin Qianqian spread her hands and said, "I also have another account book here, which records the share of the money sent to the capital over the years. I would be at a huge loss if I make such a request. I don't think Master Bai would want to use his power to pressure others."
Bai Jinglie received a secret letter asking him to cooperate with Jin Qianqian to take back the business power without allowing him to bargain.
But he was somewhat reluctant to give up such a huge benefit.
Jin Qianqian, "Actually, there is another solution, but I don't know if Prince Bai will choose it?"
Bai Jinglie concentrated his mind and prepared for battle. "Madam Gu, please speak."
Jin Qianqian pointed at the thick stack of employment contracts and said, "I can transfer these contracts to Prince Bai and let them return to Haimao in the future."
"Madam Gu, do you have any requests?" This is a good thing. No one wants the life and death of their subordinates to be in the hands of others.
Jin Qianqian, "I built up Haimao bit by bit, and I would be unwilling to just abandon it.
I use these contracts to keep a share of the 100,000 taels of silver. As long as the sea trade is running, my Gu family must have a share of the profits."
