Chapter 186 Bargaining
"One hundred thousand taels?"
Meng Qingqian knew very well what one hundred thousand taels meant. That was a year's tax revenue for a small county, which could also be used to support a thousand elite soldiers for several years.
"Too many?" He Yunxiao asked with a smile.
"Too many." Meng Qingqian said.
"Okay, it's less, you tell me the number." He Yunxiao said casually.
Meng Qing thought briefly, with a faint smile on his lips, "Ten thousand taels."
He Yunxiao slapped the table and said: "Okay, deal, ten thousand taels is ten thousand taels."
He pushed the wooden box forward and said, "You take the banknote, and I'll give you the handkerchief."
Meng Qing smiled lightly and did not talk about getting the banknotes. Instead, he murmured: "Let me think about what kind of business I can do with ten thousand taels."
He Yunxiao:?
Good guy, I am still naive, and the antidote girl is still scheming! I still underestimate her!
"I can't do any big business, I just help the shops on the street to sell more things." He Yunxiao said half-seriously.
"What street?"
"Northbound Avenue."
"what business?"
"Coupons."
Meng Qingqian frowned. As a person in a superior position, she would naturally not ask stupidly "What are consumer coupons". For a person in power at her level, she must remain "omniscient" and "mysterious", otherwise she will not be able to convince the public.
.
"Yeah." Meng Qingqian agreed first, and then asked: "Why don't you ask your father for it? The dignified Marquis Wu Qing shouldn't be able to afford even ten thousand taels, right?"
Since he doesn't plan to attack the antidote girl, He Yunxiao has no taboo to protect his favorability. He said directly: "I plan to make money with money and go to Chunfeng Tower to redeem the girl. My father can't agree and I can't ask him for money."
[Li Qingmeng’s favorability level changed from 35 to 30]
Meng Qingqian originally thought that He Yunxiao, who was loyal to Nanzhu, was a good guy, but she didn't expect that he was nothing more than that. For a dignified legitimate son of a marquis to go into business and make money to redeem the girl, he really didn't have the dignity of being a marquis.
She said disdainfully: "Humph, you don't need to borrow ten thousand taels to redeem a girl. Just give away a few dozen taels and that's it."
"It's the oiran." He Yunxiao explained kindly.
"So what if I'm an oiran? It's only a thousand taels."
He Yunxiao sighed: "It's my sister Jiang, Jiang Wuyou."
Meng Qingqian was silent for a moment.
Even she had an impression of the name Jiang Wuyou. At her mother's birthday party, this girl stunned the world with her dance. Not only did Da Qi gain face in front of envoys from various countries, but it also made her mother quite happy. For a while,
, I miss watching the dance every day.
"How much money does it cost to redeem her?"
He Yunxiao confessed, "My sister said it would be at least 10,000 taels."
"Probably not enough."
"So I'm asking you to borrow money for business."
Meng Qingqian looked at He Yunxiao's unreliable look and asked doubtfully: "Is she willing to follow you?"
He Yunxiao said without hesitation, "That's natural."
"I won't borrow it." Meng Qingqian was determined.
He Yunxiao coughed and touched the wooden box containing the handkerchief, "You have thought clearly."
Meng Qingqian has a strong will. Whether it is the physical and mental fatigue of worrying about the political affairs of the court every day, or the life danger that may come at any time due to frequent assassins, including physical pain or endless mental pressure and torture, she has it all.
Confidence can make it through.
But the strength to withstand the suffering is based on one's own pride, and that pride is something called "the eldest princess of Daqi", "the eldest sister of the Holy Emperor", and "your highness Xiaoyue".
But He Yunxiao's handkerchief is an object that can destroy this pride. It's like the door of death in martial arts, or the switch of a mecha monster.
Meng Qingqian didn't want to recall herself at that time, such a naughty girl, very different from what she should be.
Whenever He Yunxiao takes out a handkerchief, it's like taking out a "green sword" that can be used as a shield, unreasonably passing through her layers of protection and directly pressing it against the most dangerous and softest part of her heart.
When He Yunxiao touched the wooden box, a hint of pink appeared on Meng Qingqian's face.
"I've thought clearly about it and won't borrow it," she said forcefully.
"You're not going to borrow it, are you? Okay, I'll bring the handkerchief to my good brother Li Jin tomorrow to play with. Oops, I haven't seen my good brother Li Jin for several days." He Yunxiao said pretending not to care.
Hearing the word "Li Jin", Meng Qingqian couldn't hold back at all.
She usually faces Li Jin like a cold and steady elder. If Li Jin knows that she has another side: a person who is so stupid that she drools and needs someone to wipe her mouth with a handkerchief, then she will lose any face.
It's better to find a well and kill yourself now if you can survive.
"Don't..." Meng Qingqian lowered her eyebrows, and there was even pleading in her tone at this moment.
He Yunxiao sighed, he didn't mean to make things difficult for Miss Jie Yao. The matter of borrowing money is easy to borrow and disperse. Besides, he has the endorsement of the Marquis Mansion, so he can't be a douchebag. But this girl didn't know that she did it on purpose.
Or something like that, he's very tough-talking, and he won't borrow it even if he's dead.
"Miss Li," He Yunxiao finally felt a little soft-hearted after seeing Miss Antidote being teased by him, "If you don't have ten thousand taels, I definitely won't ask you to borrow it. But if you really have money, please lend it to me.
The worst thing is, after one month, I will add 20% more as the interest for the money the girl borrowed from me."
"Forty percent." Meng Qingqian said indifferently.
grass
Just now he looked pitifully bullied, and within two breaths he could immediately turn against him. You really have the stinky antidote!
"At most 30%." He Yunxiao gritted his teeth.
"Thirty percent, give me the handkerchief again." Meng Qingqian discussed the terms with He Yunxiao expressionlessly.
"Then give me back the martial arts novel." He Yunxiao continued to increase the pressure.
Meng Qingqian narrowed his eyes, "Is it really yours?"
He Yunxiao smiled sadly, "Did you really watch it?"
"I don't have it in the palace, it's somewhere else." Meng Qingqian thought of the story in the novel, her face turned red, her heart panicked, and she almost spilled the beans.
"If you don't return my novel, I won't give you the handkerchief."
"Give me the handkerchief first, and then I'll give you the banknote. You can pick up the novel tomorrow."
"The banknotes will be given now, and the novels and handkerchiefs will be exchanged for each tomorrow."
"No, you must give me the handkerchief first." Meng Qingqian said without doubt.
He Yunxiao looked at the expressionless and eloquent antidote girl, and admired her in his heart. It was obvious that she had the leverage and was at a disadvantage in the negotiation, but she could not lose at the negotiation table.
Doesn't she feel guilty?
He Yunxiao finally compromised and said, "Let's do this. Where did you put the novel? We'll go get it now. Then you give me the banknote and the novel on the spot, and I'll give you the handkerchief on the spot."
He Yunxiao's novel is currently in the palace, locked in a cabinet in Changhe Palace, Princess Xiaoyue's dormitory.
If you take him there, it will be like directly admitting that Li Qingmeng is Meng Qingqian.
"Li Qingmeng" did so many shameless things, including "picking fruits", "handkerchiefs", and "father", it was all done by "Li Qingmeng"!
Meng Qingqian, on the other hand, is the eldest princess of Da Qi, mature and steady, dignified and beautiful, with unparalleled power skills.
There must be no relationship between these two people!
Meng Qingqian finally compromised before He Yunxiao: "I'll give you the banknote today. If you come here tomorrow afternoon, we'll have a novel in one hand and a handkerchief in the other."
He Yunxiao was thinking about the consumption coupons. The commercial street was busy in the afternoon, and business would be booming by then, so he might not be able to leave.
What he wanted to do was to take people to clean up the store tomorrow morning and order a batch of consumer coupons. Since the printing factories were all in the west of the city, he could stop by and exchange handkerchiefs.
"Tomorrow morning, we will change." He Yunxiao said.
"Not in the morning, afternoon or evening."
Not in the morning?
Oh yes, the antidote has to go to Antler Academy in the morning.
He Yunxiao had experienced the frequent obstacles in business negotiations today because of his status as a villain. At this time, he had already thought of a solution. He happened to have to go to Lujiao Academy, so he said: "Tomorrow morning, Lujiao Academy will change."
"Okay." Meng Qingqian said.
