Li Hui smacked his lips and said: "No, no, it's just to help introduce. The so-called sharing is the foundation of happiness. Being happy alone is not as good as being happy with everyone. Such a good soap must benefit everyone. Miss Xie is spreading happiness and sharing good things.
That’s all.”
Xie Daoyun looked at Li Huidao angrily: "Do you think I'm a fool? You just want to use me to sell soap for you."
Li Hui cupped his hands and said: "Ms. Xie, please calm down. This is not a bad thing, is it? For example, if you see a good scenery, read a good poem, or eat a box of good snacks, you should always share it with others. It's not forcing you.
Let them buy it, right?"
Xie Daoyun breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was a little annoyed, he had to say that what this person said made sense. This thing called soap is indeed a good thing, and it is not impossible to share it with others. Xie Daoyun just felt that Li Huicun was trying to take advantage of him
His reputation helped him promote soap, and I felt like I was being used. So I felt unhappy.
"How much does it cost to sell one to others? Five bucks?" Xie Daoyun asked.
Li Huidao: "Five qian is not enough, eight qian is worth one coin."
"What?" Xie Daoyun screamed out. This Li Hui is too evil. The total cost of materials and labor is only three or four cents. He actually wants to sell people for eight cents. This is too much.
"Aren't you using my hand to deceive others? I won't help you. I didn't expect you to be so greedy for money. But I was wrong. I thought you were not a copper-smelling person." Xie Daoyun said coldly.
Li Hui smiled bitterly and said: "Miss Xie, didn't you say that a gentleman loves money and gets it in the right way? Why are you calling me a liar again?"
Xie Daoyun said: "Aren't you cheating? You just earn some hard-earned money, but you want to double your earnings? Isn't this ill-gotten wealth?"
Li Hui sighed and said: "Miss Xie, I admit that I want to make some money. To be honest with you, I made this soap just to make some money. Because there are more than 20 people in my Li family who want to make money."
We need to pay for food, clothing, and monthly payments. How can I support so many people with my monthly salary of fifty shi of rice? Brother Xie Xuan allowed me to live in the house for free, so the situation is really difficult for me.
I don't steal or rob, but I want to make some money by selling soap to get myself out of trouble. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Xie Daoyun frowned and said nothing, but slowly calmed down. She had basically known Li Hui's background and experience during this period. His current situation was indeed a bit difficult. It's just that Xie Daoyun had never worried about money when he was so old.
My heart can't understand it for a while.
"Even so, you can't make huge profits. This is wrong." Xie Daoyun said in a deep voice.
"I don't think this is a huge profit. Only I can make this soap, so it is reasonable for me to sell it more expensively. I have used my brain and put in my effort. If Ms. Xie measures the value of this soap based on the cost of materials and labor,
, that is wrong. I want to ask, a painting or a good calligraphy only costs a piece of yellow paper and half a bowl of ink. So the value of the calligraphy and painting is calculated based on the materials, isn’t it worthless? But if this
Is this calligraphy and painting done by Mr. Xie? I think there are people who are eager to pay tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars, right? Is this reasonable or not?" Li Hui said softly.
Xie Daoyun was stunned and speechless. Although she was very talented in eloquence, she could not refute what Li Hui said. In fact, Li Hui's analogy was also a sophistry technique, but Xie Daoyun couldn't understand it for a while.
"My uncle's calligraphy and paintings cost more than hundreds of thousands of dollars. My calligraphy and paintings cost hundreds of thousands. No one else can get my uncle's calligraphy and paintings for any money." Xie Daoyun retorted forcefully.
"That's it. So you said, can the price be calculated based on the cost of materials and labor? I priced it at eighty cents, which is already very conscientious. They should be lucky. Moreover, it is something you, Miss Xie, recommended, and they should continue to recommend it.
Just double it." Li Hui said with a smile.
Xie Daoyun said angrily: "You can say this."
Li Hui ignored Xie Daoyun's sarcasm and smiled: "Miss Xie, I won't let your help go in vain. Maybe we can cooperate and I can give you some kickbacks. We will benefit together. For example, for every soap sold,
I’ll share with you the introduction fee.”
Xie Daoyun almost fainted. This guy actually tried to use money to win over her. This guy was so confused. Xie Daoyun's face turned red and he didn't know what to say.
"Isn't it too little? It's enough for five hundred dollars a day. Any more would be inappropriate. You have to leave some for me, right?" Li Huiwu said to himself.
"You bastard!" Xie Daoyun finally couldn't help but exploded.
Li Huileng was on the spot and looked at Xie Daoyun in a daze. He didn't know how he had offended this talented girl from the Jin Dynasty. Seeing Xie Daoyun's pretty face flushing, it didn't seem like a joke. Li Hui thought about it and suddenly realized that he was wrong.
Where is it?
The talented girl from Da Jin Dynasty is not short of money, and she doesn’t even bother to talk about money, let alone cooperate with her to earn kickbacks. This damages the beautiful image of the talented girl. In her opinion, it is a shame for me to talk about interests with her nakedly.
Insulted.
"I'm extremely sorry. Since Miss Xie doesn't want to, just pretend I didn't say anything. I don't have any other intention. I just feel that if Miss Xie helps me, I can't let you help me in vain. You must always give me something in return. If words
If it’s inappropriate, please don’t get angry, Miss Xie.”
Xie Daoyunsu grasped the railing with his hand, and his fingers were a little painful. But in fact, after swearing this sentence, Xie Daoyun immediately regretted it. How could he curse? And he cursed someone in front of an outsider. This was the only thing he could do.
What's wrong? All these years of self-cultivation are no match for these few words from Li Hui?
Xie Daoyun practiced deep breathing, closed her eyes and took a few breaths. When she opened her eyes, she felt much calmer.
"Little man of the Li family, please forgive Dao Yun for his gaffe. I'm not blaming you, I just thought of something unhappy. As for what you said, I'm afraid Dao Yun can't help you. Please ask Gao Ming."
Li Hui looked disappointed and sighed: "Hey, it seems that I have messed up the matter. Miss Xie, I know that this matter is forced on others, and it seems that this is the only way. Miss Xie, I apologize again. It's not early.
Okay, I’ll take my leave now.”
Li Hui sighed, cupped his hands in salute, turned around and walked slowly outside the pavilion.
Xie Daoyun looked at Li Hui's back and suddenly felt a little pitiful about him. He remembered chatting with his uncle Xie An and his brother Xie Xuan, and talked about Li Hui's experience. Even Xie An was very impressed by what Li Hui had done.
Xie An once said that Li Hui is the most special person he has ever seen who came from a poor family. Although he came from a poor family, he has a clear mind, is not disturbed by the fog in front of him, and is extremely determined. He can refuse Huan Wen's call in times of difficulty.
The reason why he was able to refuse the Gu family's kindness was because he had a clear understanding of the structure of Da Jin and would not be swayed by immediate interests.
It is often difficult for children from poor families to make independent choices. They often do whatever it takes to get out of trouble. Whenever there is an opportunity, they will seize it immediately. But Li Hui is completely different from them. He is not attracted by the huge opportunity at all.
Seduction. At the risk of being killed, this is enough to prove that this person has a clear goal and his own opinion.
The things Li Hui did in Juchao County are actually difficult to understand. Not to mention the things he did to annihilate the lake bandits, after all, they were all for his own protection. In order to protect the people's summer grain, he did not hesitate to fight with Yuan
He was really fighting for food and soldiers, and was trapped on the top of Nianzi Mountain. He did not hesitate to set fire to the forest and put himself in a dangerous situation.
It was a unique thing in the Jin Dynasty to work hard to preserve the food of the people. If this matter were not proven to be true, almost no one would believe it.
Later, he helped the people of Juchao County to prevent floods. For more than a month, he ate and lived with the people on the embankment, doing everything by hand. In the end, floods in the north of the Yangtze River caused more than ten counties to be affected, but Juchao County was safe and sound. Everyone in the imperial court knew about this. Even Wang Biao
Zhidu told Xie An that the floods in the north of the Yangtze River affected all the counties under the jurisdiction of Wang Muzhi's Liyang County except Juchao County. Only Juchao County, where Li Hui was located, was saved. The person who was originally the least favored made a
Get the best results.
Because of this, Wang Muzhi recommended Li Hui and realized that this person was extraordinary.
In short, the Xie family's uncle and nephew have a very high opinion of Li Hui, but Xie Daoyun is very indifferent. Until Li Hui's performance at the banquet that night, and until today when they talked about the soap, Xie Daoyun's good impression of Li Hui was all based on
The only increase was that suddenly Li Hui started talking about money and even used money to bribe him. Xie Daoyun's favorability dropped sharply.
Even though Xie Daoyun knew that Li Hui needed money, such a naked transaction and naked talk about money were still unacceptable to Xie Daoyun. So she refused.
However, when she saw Li Hui leaving in disappointment, Xie Daoyun couldn't bear it anymore. Xie Daoyun was not aloof from the world. She knew that Li Hui was in a difficult situation and money was very important to him. His desire to make money was understandable.
Moreover, he just wanted to ask for help and use his fame to help. After all, he had no foundation in the capital. Maybe he was utilitarian, but at least he was honest.
In addition, Li Hui saved Xie Xuan's life. Although it may have been a coincidence, it is true that without the dagger he gave to Xie Xuan, Xie Xuan would have died in the battle at Shouyang City.
Already.
If Xie Xuan died, I would definitely be heartbroken. His father Xie Yi died early. Although he was brought up by his fourth uncle, he was not his father after all. The two siblings had a deep relationship and depended on each other. No matter how many times they quarreled, no matter how many times Xie Yi
Xuan was so angry that he went crazy many times, but the relationship between siblings remains unchanged. Xie Xuan said that he could protect himself with his life, and he would also stand up for Xie Xuan without hesitation.
Li Hui saved Xie Xuan's life. This kind of kindness is here. If he rejects Li Hui like this, he will feel very uneasy in his heart. There is a faint feeling of ungratefulness and guilt.
By some strange coincidence, Xie Daoyun called out: "Young man from the Li family, please stay!".
