Ren Cangqiong had to admit that ginger was still hotter with age.
Among the Lu family and his party, the old lady didn't even sit still on her buttocks before she left in a daze. Such magnanimity could not be suppressed without the support of a strong aura.
Any one of the three of them would never be able to be so comfortable in front of Lu Wantong. The old lady's strong aura made everything look calm and natural, as it should be.
Ren Cangqiong knew that it would be difficult for the Lu family not to take the bait.
I have to admire the old lady's skill. In one day, the Lu family can't stand up and down like ants on a hot pot?
If nothing else happens, people from the Lu family will definitely come to visit you before noon.
Although the mine is important to the Lu family, it is by no means indispensable. The sword that cuts the wind and clouds is unique.
Returning to the family, the old lady Ren Qingshuang said: "Qingshuang, please inform the clan elders and come to the headquarters. Let's wait for the Lu family to come."
At this time, the initiative was already in the hands of the Ren family. The louder the momentum, the more the Lu family would gain. During the negotiations, they would lower the price and use clever tricks to seize the mine.
"Qingyun, go and ask your father to come."
After Ren Qingshuang and Ren Qingyun left, Ren Cangqiong looked at the old lady's smiling expression and suddenly thought, the old lady was going to lecture her alone.
"The sky." The old lady squinted her eyes and said in an amiable tone, "What you did this time was very beautiful."
"Hehe, my grandson just has better luck." Ren Cangqiong said modestly.
Of course, this is not purely modest. After all, he is indeed lucky. If it were not for the advantage of being a reborn person, his performance could only be described as a mess, let alone such a monster.
"Well, luck is an indispensable part of a warrior's growth. Qingqiong, I know that there must be a noble person behind you to help you. However, I will never ask where this noble person comes from. This is your blessing.
Fate. If we interfere too much, it will not be beautiful."
The old lady seemed very reasonable.
It makes Ren Cangqiong feel ashamed. How can there be any master behind the scenes to protect him? But it is reasonable for the old lady to think so. To say that Ren Cangqiong can accomplish so many things by himself? It is hard for others to believe even Potian.
If the old lady can think this way, it will be better. At least she can avoid an explanation. There are still many steps to take in the future, and she can also use the sign of "the master behind the scenes".
In this way, it not only looks mysterious, but also facilitates work and does not arouse suspicion. It is perfect.
At that moment, he borrowed the donkey from the slope, lowered his eyebrows and said submissively: "Grandma, my grandson will definitely not disgrace Mr. Ren."
"Well, that's right." The old lady smiled, "Maybe you had a lot of controversies in the past. But a series of recent performances are enough to prove that a tiger father has no dog son, and your performance in Ren Cangqiong is no worse than that of your father back then!"
This kind of praise came from the mouth of an old lady, and it could almost be said to be of the highest standard.
When Ren Cangqiong was thinking about how to be humble, the old lady suddenly said: "If we succeed in seizing the mine this time, I plan to transfer 30% of the proceeds to your family's name."
"Grandma..." Ren Cangqiong was surprised.
The Ren family has never received such a generous reward. The 30% income from a mine, year after year, can be said to be very considerable.
Although the invasion of demon clan will be unstoppable in five years, even these five years are enough for Ren Cangqiong's family to become the wealthiest branch of the family.
"Don't be surprised. You have made a huge contribution to this matter. Even if I allocate 50% to you, it will be fine. I am dealing with it this way because you are my grandson. It is not a bad thing for you to suffer a little loss." The old lady said
Here, he added, "A necessary reward and punishment system is very necessary for a family. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous for a family to lose its enterprising spirit."
It can be seen that the old lady's thinking is still very clear.
Ren Cangqiong is no longer humble. In fact, he feels at ease with this reward. In any case, this 30% income can allow his family to live a very prosperous life.
Even if you leave Yunluo City and go anywhere in the future, you will be able to guarantee a prosperous life.
The clan leaders and elders arrived one after another, and each of them was confused. They didn't know why the old lady had called everyone here.
The old lady asked Ren Qingshuang to briefly explain the general situation, and joy suddenly appeared on everyone's faces. The Lu family's mine?
That is a great fortune!
Ren Dongshan failed in the family evaluation last time and was originally low in energy. But when Ren Qingyun came home, his words made Ren Dongshan very excited.
It seems that in the eyes of the old lady, their lineage has not lost power.
It is true that Ren Dongshan is a careerist, but he is still very concerned about family affairs. Otherwise, why would he be so keen on the position of patriarch?
When the place was busy, the concierge came to report: "The head of the Lu family and the elders of the clan are here to visit!"
The old lady pressed her palms: "Everyone, be quiet for a moment. Follow me and go out to greet you."
Although it is a negotiation, the Lu family is one of the top ten Yunluo families after all. Everyone has similar status, so the necessary etiquette should still be followed.
There is one thing on the negotiating table, and another thing under the negotiation table.
This time, the negotiating positions were completely reversed. The old lady was as stable as a rock, but the Lu family came to ask for help.
After the guests and hosts were seated, Lu Wantong cupped his fists and said, "Old madam, people in my clan are very concerned when they heard that the ancestral sword appeared. Can you allow me to wait and see?"
"Easy to say."
This time, the old lady was no longer reserved.
He reached behind the chair, yanked it, and slapped the sword on the table: "Clan Chief Wantong, please take a look."
Although the sword had been suppressed for a hundred years, its restless and wild aura made everyone in the Lu family's heart beat faster.
This is a feeling of resonance related to blood.
The ancestral sword of the Lu family was fused with the blood of the ancestors. Everyone present at the scene of the Lu family was so excited that they could hardly control themselves and wanted to go forward and grab the sword.
When the old lady saw that everyone in the Lu family's eyes were red, as if they had been injected with chicken blood. She swept her sleeves away, put away the sword, and smiled slightly: "Chief Wantong, are you satisfied?"
Lu Wantong took a deep breath, looked at each other with the elder, and said slowly: "Old madam, this sword is indeed my Lu family's ancestral sword for cutting the wind and clouds."
The old lady nodded: "Yes, Chief Wantong. I know you must have some bargaining words. But I have to say something first. Our bottom line will not be shaken. Without the mine, there is no need to mention this knife. I have always been outspoken.
, say what you have to say and won’t beat around the bush.”
One bite cuts off the other party's room for bargaining.
Lu Wantong and several elders looked at each other. They all said that the old lady of the Ren family was difficult to deal with. It seemed that she was really intolerant.
"Sister-in-law, we are of the same generation. I would venture to ask, is there really no room for maneuver in this matter?" the eldest elder of the Lu family asked cautiously.
The old lady smiled faintly, turned to Ren Cangqiong and said, "Cangqiong, tell me."
Ren Cangqiong leaned forward slightly and clasped his fists at the Lu family: "Seniors, to be honest with you, someone has already given us a price for this sword. If we sell it, the profit will definitely not be lower than your mine. The reason why I ask you first
The Lu family is one of the ten nobles of Yunluo, so we have to save some face for each other. If you, the Lu family, refuse, we can take action with this sword within one day. Do you believe it or not?"
Can you not believe it?
If this knife falls into the hands of the auction house, I'm afraid the price the Lu family will have to pay will be doubled. Knocking on bones and sucking out marrow is what the auction house is best at.
Seeing that they were already moved, Ren Cangqiong continued calmly: "My grandmother knows that your Lu family is now committed to the development of overseas industries. The importance of this mine to you is constantly diminishing. In order to show our sincerity, I
The Ren family has a deserted island overseas, which can also be included in the trading chips. Of course, the value of this island cannot be equated with the mine. To put it bluntly, this island is an extra addition, which is the sincerity of my Ren family and completes the transaction.
The face of your Lu family will not be harmed after the transaction."
The inclusion of this deserted island as a bargaining chip was actually a step-ladder provided by the Ren family to the Lu family so that they could step down. This would save their face and conclude the deal as soon as possible.
The old lady said indifferently: "Chief Wantong, this desert island is of little value to my Ren family. But in your hands, I believe it can still create several times the value. This is our ultimate bargaining chip, whether it succeeds or not
, it can be decided with one word.”
Lu Wantong and the eldest elder exchanged a dejected look. How could they not understand that the Ren family was sure to defeat them. Even the ladder to get off the stage was set up for them.
Either borrow the donkey from the slope, or break up the two together.
It's a happy breakup, but the loss is obvious. When they go to the auction house to compete for the Fengyun Sword, the price won't be a mine.
Lu Wantong gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, old lady, I will do as you wish. Tomorrow, we will hand it over in secret. I only hope that this knife can be returned to the hands of my Lu family safely and without any unnecessary complications."
The old lady solemnly said: "When I speak, I spit and nail. Patriarch Wantong, I will wait to receive the sword tomorrow."
Lu Wantong and others were in great pain. In the blink of an eye, the mine was in the hands of the Ren family. However, if they can take back the Fengyun-cutting sword, with the strength of the Lu family, it is only a matter of time before they rise!
The Lu family will not lose money on this investment. In the long run, they will make a profit but not a loss!
After the two parties finalized, Lu Wantong was naturally not in the mood to linger and said goodbye: "Old madam, let's go back and make preparations. We will hand over again at this time tomorrow."
After the Lu family left, the Ren family was already in a state of excitement!
All these changes happened so suddenly. Happiness came so quickly, and many elders in the clan still don't understand what happened.
The old lady stood up leisurely and said calmly: "Let's all leave. Tomorrow, we will wait to take over the Lu family's mine. By the way, I would like to announce that Ren Cangqiong's family will exclusively enjoy 30% of the annual income from this mine."
"What?" The whole place exploded. Why should Cangqiong's lineage be allowed to have 30% of it alone? All the high-ranking officials in the clan were a little aggrieved.
The old lady glanced at the audience coldly: "If any of you find this Fengyun-Slaying Sword, I will give you 50%, so what's the problem? To say the least, if Ren Cangqiong bypasses the family and trades with the Lu family alone
What’s the harm? Remember, it’s not Cang Qiong who takes advantage of the family, but all of you who take advantage of him. If he didn’t accidentally get this knife, there would be nothing!”
Having said this, the old lady waved her hand without saying a word: "It's all gone."
A group of high-level officials looked at each other, as if they were waking up from a dream. Only then did they understand the whole story. As expected, everyone has been touched by Ren Cangqiong's light.
All eyes looked at Ren Cangqiong, and the meaning inside them was obviously different. At this moment, a long-lost name emerged in everyone's heart - Ren Dongliu.
