Two days later, Huo Xi went to see Chu Li in person.
"The Crown Prince asked me to express his gratitude to the eldest young master in person." He gave him a salute.
Chu Li was so panicked that she hurriedly ran away. "Madam, you said something serious. Li is just making up for it."
Seeing the Crown Prince's wife coming to see him in person, Chu Li breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried about it for the past two days. He was afraid that things would be exposed, and that his father would doubt his intentions. He didn't sleep for two days, and he was so worried.
And I remembered that there were shares of two other families in the jade mine, the Jun family and the Wushi Tusi Mansion. None of them were touched by me. Even if I took the shares, it would depend on others' faces. Whether I could do it or not
Let’s talk about making money, but I’m afraid the trouble will continue.
He felt regretful in his heart. On the one hand, he wanted it, but on the other hand, he regretted taking it upon himself. It had been tormenting him for the past two days.
Huo Xi looked at him a few times and had an idea.
He smiled and asked: "I wonder if the young master will eat these 40% of the stock alone or if he has other plans?"
Ah? He ate it alone? He just thought that he would be thankful that the prince would give him a share and a half, and let him eat all of it? "The prince doesn't want it?"
"We don't want these 40%."
Chu Li didn't understand the meaning of Huo Xi's words.
I just thought that the prince was afraid of trouble and didn't want the shares. I started to think... Both the Jun family and the Wushi family have shares in it, can I participate in it?
With these two families here, how could he hide it from his father and Chu Yi? But if not... I glanced at Huo Xi and it seemed inappropriate.
Huo Xi was not in a hurry and just let him think about it.
After half a moment, Chu Li said: "I intend to eat them all, but I don't have enough money. If the prince is willing to sell half of his shares..."
Huo Xi smiled and said: "I think the eldest young master is a person who does great things, so why do you want half a share?"
"I don't hide it from my wife. I am indeed familiar with the jade business and I am confident that I can run it well. But there are also shares in Jun's and Wushi's. These two companies are not easy to deal with. They have many shares.
, will not leave it to me to manage, I will just follow the instructions, more or less does not make any difference to me."
"The eldest young master originally had this concern." Huo Xi smiled, "Then I will tell the eldest young master the news that the shares of those two companies have also been transferred."
Huh? Chu Li was shocked.
The shares of those two companies were also transferred? That was 60% of the shares! Who was transferred to? Does the eldest son know about it?
Chu Li's heart was filled with waves.
He wanted to ask more clearly, but he also knew that it would be difficult to ask if it was too provocative. Could it be that 60% of the shares were in the hands of the Crown Prince? Chu Li's eyes widened and he looked at the Crown Prince's wife in front of him.
Seeing her sitting calmly and looking like she was in control, my heart was beating fast.
Suddenly he knelt down towards Huo Xi and said, "Chu Li is willing to listen to the orders of the prince and his wife, even to the death."
Huo Xi was very satisfied, left the chair, came to him and gave him a hand, "Mo Duoli."
When I saw him sitting down, his expression was more respectful than before. I was even more satisfied with his attitude. He was a smart man.
"In this case, the prince is willing to transfer 20% of the shares to you and hand over the entire mine to you to operate. He will not interfere in the daily management. He will only send someone to discuss the accounts with you at the end of the year."
Chu Li turned to look at Huo Xi in disbelief, forgetting to close her mouth. The prince believed him, not only gave him 20% of his shares, but also gave him the entire mine to run?
Is this true? How virtuous and capable he is.
As soon as he stood up, Huo Xi raised his hand to indicate that he had to sit down numbly.
"You just want to say whether you are willing to put in the effort and run it well? The prince trusts your character and ability, but he also needs your willingness."
Chu Li was so excited that she stood up directly regardless of Huo Xi's obstruction.
He clasped his fists at Huo Xi and said, "Thank you very much for the Crown Prince and Madam's consideration. Chu Li is willing to take on this job, and is willing to work a hundred times harder, vowing to run it well and live up to the expectations of the Crown Prince and Madam!"
Huo Xi smiled and nodded: "Very good. Then you should make some preparations first. After the matters over there are settled in a few days, a steward will contact you."
The two discussed the management issues of the mine, and Huo Xi gave him instructions on how to talk to Chu Zuiliang about this matter so that he could extricate himself from it.
After hearing this, Chu Li admired Huo Xi even more, and from then on he followed him and his wife wholeheartedly. He managed the mine and other common affairs with great care, and became one of Mu Yan's confidants.
The funeral is not disclosed. The Chu family.
Chu Yi came back from outside and was about to talk to his father about something. When he arrived at his father's study, he heard from a servant that his father was discussing something with his eldest brother inside. He wanted to go away, but after thinking about it, he stayed.
He also sent all the servants away.
In the study, Chu Li followed Huo Xi's instructions and talked to Chu Zuiliang about going to the Duke of Guizhou's Mansion to buy 40% of the jade mine from Mu Zhan.
"You mean, the Duke of the State told you to do this? In the name of our family? And you were asked to hide it from the eldest son?"
Chu Li nodded: "Yes. My father must have heard about what happened in the mine. In order to calm Tusi Shu's anger and avoid unrest at the border, Duke Qian asked the eldest son to transfer his shares. But he was worried.
The eldest son made a private transaction, and in the future the eldest son will force the other party to buy it back, so he asked his son to buy it in our family's name. The eldest son originally owned our family's shares, so our family took over and we have an explanation both internally and externally."
Chu Zuiliang frowned, somewhat confused about the key point, "Why did the Duke of the State insist on hiding the matter from the eldest son?"
Chu Li replied: "Such a big thing happened in the mine. Chief Shu had to bring people to the Duke of Guo to explain to him. The Duke of Guo was furious. Of course he didn't want the eldest young master to get involved in such common affairs again. It was left to the eldest young master.
I'm afraid that in the future, the young master will ask the other party to buy shares or buy them back at a low price, which will stop him from thinking about it."
"But if we let our family handle it, we won't be afraid that the eldest son will find us?"
"Our family just passed the deal. In a few days, our son will come to see the eldest son and tell him that it has been transferred. The other party is a relative of a noble family in the capital palace. Our family has no choice but to transfer it."
"Is this what the Duke of Guo told me? The Duke of Guo has already planned and found a successor?"
"Yes. I was just following the Duke's instructions."
Chu Zuiliang nodded, then frowned and looked at Chu Li: "Why don't you ask me to be your father?" Do you want to leave the matter to his eldest son?
Chu Li lowered his eyes: "My father is much older than the eldest son, and it is difficult to bargain, so my son is just right. Besides, my father was not in the city a few days ago."
Chu Zuiliang nodded. The Duke of Guo could come to his family for this matter. It seemed that the Duke of Guo still trusted the Chu family.
This is a good thing! If there is any difficulty in the family in the future, it will certainly be more important to go to the Duke than to the eldest son. So he praised the eldest son a few words and gave him some important family matters as a reward.
