Luo Xuening has helped Long Moxun solve many of his problems, but Long Moxun is not a good candidate for business. No wonder he was cheated so badly by his uncles.
"But you haven't told me how I'm going to manage this investment bank?"
Long Moxun looked slightly embarrassed. It must be Liang Jingru who gave him the courage to ask such a question.
"puff"
Luo Xue Ning spat out a mouthful of water. At this moment, the carriage was shaking. Seeing Long Mo Xun's embarrassed expression, Luo Xue Ning said awkwardly, "It's because the carriage is too shaking."
Long Moxun really wanted to tell her that the carriage was built with a huge amount of money and that those pulling the carriage were all very strong horses. It was absolutely impossible for the carriage to wobble while driving on the bumpy road. Moreover, this section of the road was clearly flat. This excuse was too careless.
However, Long Moxun was not stupid. Would he be so foolish as to expose that Luo Xuening did not spit out tea because of the shaking of the carriage, but was frightened by his stupid question?
This must not be done, Prince Jing, you are such a face-conscious person.
He just narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo Xuening dimly.
Luo Xuening coughed lightly. She didn't think that Long Moxun asked a stupid question. It's just that Long Moxun had already listed all the problems that an investment bank might face. In the end, he still didn't know how to open an investment bank. Your Majesty, how much do you not trust me to ignore this crucial step?
"If the prince doesn't want to open an investment bank in his own name, then he can only find someone else. As for the operation and management, the prince has to figure it out himself."
After Luo Xue Ning finished speaking, she seemed to hear the sound of Long Mo Xun grinding his teeth. She laughed secretly. She had already given the outline, but Long Mo Xun still didn't know what to do. This guy's brain must have been kicked by a donkey today. He looked like a thief before.
"Luoxue Ning, speak human language."
Long Moxun said coldly. He didn't care about his face now and used both soft and hard tactics. Only the two of them knew about the investment bank's affairs. He couldn't reveal this idea for the time being and could only learn from Luo Xuening's thinking.
"As far as I know, the prince has many talented people under his command. The Jingwang Mansion is good at attracting talents. Finding a few talents to write a plan is a piece of cake, isn't it?"
Luo Xue Ning smiled and deliberately made the matter sound very light. However, could Long Mo Xun believe the plan given by others? In his heart, he now believed in Luo Xue Ning, at least, when it came to investment banking.
Luo Xue Ning turned her head away indifferently, and pretended to be a Buddhist girl who was focused on enjoying the scenery.
Long Moxun snorted. It’s so easy for you to say that. At this moment, he really had an impulse to turn Luo Xue Ning’s head and pry open her mouth. This woman, sometimes she really doesn’t know what’s good for her.
However, Long Moxun has known Luo Xuening for a long time after all. Generally speaking, Luo Xuening's look of wanting to say something but not wanting to say it means that she has something very important to say, and these important things naturally require some kind of benefits in exchange.
Long Moxun said in a deep voice: "Tell me your terms. The consultation fee of Dr. Sai is five hundred taels of silver, and the medicine he used on your aunt was all from me, and they are all rare treasures. I will give it to you at the purchase price, plus the consultation fee, a total of two thousand taels of silver from you. However, if you help me do what you said, this consultation fee will be written off, and I will reward you generously later."
Long Moxun had to admit that he really couldn't stand Luo Xuening's attitude of being a good kid after getting an advantage. The only thing she could negotiate with him was a deal.
The reason why he made the calculation so clear was to make it clear to Luo Xuening how foolish it was to negotiate a deal with him.
Long Moxun knew too well the embarrassing situation of Luo Xue Ning. He didn't have to ask her for the medical fees, because Prime Minister Luo had already paid a lot of money to Doctor Sai. His original intention was just to make Luo Xue Ning surrender to him and admit defeat, so that everything could be discussed. Unfortunately, Luo Xue Ning didn't know the way.
He actually dared to negotiate a deal with me. It seems that being cheated isn't enough.
Luo Xue Ning just smiled, and when she turned around, she smiled in a friendly manner, but the smile seemed a little hypocritical.
"Your Highness, I will of course pay for the consultation with the great doctor Sai. Your reward is too expensive, and Luo Xuening cannot afford it."
Long Moxun's expression changed slightly. Luo Xue Ning actually rejected him. He looked at Luo Xue Ning with a dim eye, wondering how she was going to pretend to be this fat man.
"As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish. Instead of giving me a reward, Your Majesty would rather give me some dividends from the investment bank after this is done. Luo Xue Ning doesn't want much, just 10% is enough."
She was talking about 10% of the dividends, not her share of the entire investment bank.
Luo Xuening knew very well that this was all she could get given her current situation. This was the bottom price Long Moxun had set for her. As long as she met the bottom price, she would be able to maximize her interests in this transaction.
Long Moxun didn't look happy. This request was not excessive. However, Luo Xue Ning was just stepping on his psychological bottom line, which made him very unhappy. Of course, Luo Xue Ning didn't care whether he was happy or not. What she wanted was real money.
"The prince will send these dividends to the Prime Minister's Mansion for me. Let's sign the contract. As long as the investment bank does not go bankrupt, I believe the prince will not deduct my dividends, right?"
Luo Xue looked at Long Mo Xun with sparkling eyes, and the cunning in her eyes became even more intense.
What she thought was that when she got the first dividend from the investment bank, she could basically implement her escape plan, and the rest of the dividends would be kept by Aunt Ye, which could be regarded as her fulfilling her responsibilities as a daughter on behalf of the original owner.
More importantly, as long as the relationship between the Prime Minister's Mansion and Prince Jing's Mansion continues, those people in the Prime Minister's Mansion will not dare to touch Concubine Ye easily. This can be regarded as the guarantee that she can try her best to leave for Concubine Ye.
Long Moxun thought a little more than Luo Xuening. He wanted to sign a contract. It seemed that Luo Xuening was looking for a long-term meal ticket. However, Long Moxun didn't care, because what made Luo Xuening better than before was that she knew when to stop.
Luo Xuening has always been smart. When he first met her, Long Moxun knew that no matter what she did, it would involve the word "transaction". At first, Long Moxun was disgusted, but now, he is slowly getting used to it.
Long Moxun simply could not understand the importance of a fair transaction in Luo Xuening's heart, because, in this powerful society, it is too difficult to be fair. That is why she would spare no effort to talk about fairness, because that is the only change that Luo Xuening can make to this society and to herself.
She would not be foolish enough to pursue equality in this world, but she would get what she wanted in an upright manner. What Luo Xuening meant by fairness was relative to herself.
She didn't want Long Moxun's alms-like gifts, nor did she want the glory that came from bowing down, so she could only negotiate a deal, because there was no absolute fairness in a deal, but at least she could get the fairness she wanted.
Luo Xue Ning didn't want much, but Long Mo Xun couldn't understand it. However, he was willing to give her a chance, and they had compromised with each other in the battle of appearance.
"Okay, I agree, you can speak now."
