A short, fair, fat middle-aged man saluted Li Hui politely and asked Li Hui to get out of the car.
Li Hui immediately realized that he had met the real owner. The image of this middle-aged man and the person who had been bribed behind the scenes by the previous employees was very relaxed. Li Hui was not afraid that he would do something detrimental to him, although
The man was followed by seven or eight followers, but in broad daylight, in the area where people gathered in Changganli at the south entrance of Zhuquehang, they did not dare to do anything untoward.
What's more, he has Dachun Dazhuang following him, and ordinary people are not afraid at all.
Li Hui followed the man to a restaurant on the main street of Changqianli, where the middle-aged man took the initiative to confess his purpose.
"Young Master Li, are you? I, Meng Ziyi, am doing some small business in Jiankang City. I have taken the liberty to bother Mr. Li today because I want to negotiate a business with Mr. Li."
Li Hui guessed most of his purpose, but still pretended not to know and asked: "It turns out to be Mr. Meng, but I don't know if he has any business to discuss with me."
Meng Ziyi did not delay at all, and said: "I learned that the recently popular soap in the capital was made by Mr. Li, and I am very interested in it. I also want to make soap, but I don't know how to make it.
Therefore, I am bothering Mr. Li today and want to ask Mr. Li to give me the formula and production skills. Of course, I will pay for it. Mr. Li, please give me a price."
Li Hui laughed and said: "I see. So, Mr. Meng was the one who bribed the people employed in my workshop and stole my soap-making process data, right?"
Meng Ziyi did not deny it and said nonchalantly: "Never mention it. It is precisely because you saw through it that I just made a deal with you in an open and aboveboard manner. Mr. Li will not be resentful because of this."
Li Hui was shocked by his shamelessness and arrogance. He felt that this person seemed to be confident. He didn't know his background, but he dared to drag him like a man worth 25,800,000 yuan.
"It's not impossible to sell you the formula and process for making soap, but I'm afraid we can't agree on the price. If you insist on buying it, then give me this amount and I'll tell you everything." Li Hui stretched out a finger.
"One million dollars? That's easy to say. You're happy and I'm happy too. One million dollars is the deal." Meng Ziyi said with a smile.
Li Hui laughed and shook his head: "You want to get such a profitable business for one million dollars? Why don't you go and grab it?"
Meng Ziyi showed a displeased look on his face and said in a deep voice: "You mean, one thousand yuan? This is too sinister. When talking about business, you must act like a business talk. Don't open your mouth like a lion."
Li Hui smiled and said: "Mr. Meng, I'm not talking about 10,000 yuan, but 100 million yuan."
Meng Ziyi stared in shock and sneered: "It turns out you came here to amuse me. One hundred million dollars? Are you crazy?"
Li Huidao: "You took the initiative to ask me to buy, and I paid this price. If you are willing, we will make a deal. If you are not willing, we will break up. Who will entertain you? It's more like you to entertain me. This system
The art of soap is unique. Hehe, the market is vast, and it is a consumable item. You will have to buy a new one in more than ten days. This is a long-term big business. For 100 million yuan, you are still getting a big deal."
Meng Ziyi looked at Li Hui coldly and said in a deep voice: "Master Li, to tell you the truth, I am not the one who wants to do this business. I am just here to negotiate this matter on behalf of my master."
Li Hui smiled and said: "It turns out that you can't make the decision, so let the people who can make the decision negotiate. Isn't this a waste of my time?"
Meng Ziyi showed a sulky look on his face and said in a deep voice: "Master Li, don't hurt anyone with your words. This matter will benefit you without any harm. It is an opportunity for you. You may not understand yet. My master's status is noble.
, if you can do what he likes, you will be very successful soon. If I were you, I would give away this soap-making technology as a certificate of investment, in exchange for a prosperous official career, a rise in the clouds, it will definitely be worth it."
Li Hui smiled and said, "Who is your master?"
Meng Ziyi did not answer, but said in a deep voice: "You agreed to hand over the formula and production process, and my master will naturally meet you. I can only tell you that my master, even Wang Xie, cannot compare to me.
The most powerful family in the Jin Dynasty."
Li Hui was stunned. This guy was boasting nonsense and didn't write a draft. He is a more powerful family than Wang Xie? It's impossible for the Huan family, is it the Sima royal family?
"Master Li, we know that you are just a small city gatekeeper now. You took refuge in the Xie family, but they did not bring you any benefits. But my master can make you promoted immediately and have real power in your hands. My family
The master has the right to speak even in front of the emperor. I have said it clearly enough, I hope you can understand what I am saying. Having said that, if you don't know how to praise, then you will be responsible for the consequences. Think about it carefully, tomorrow evening,
I’ll wait for you here. For two million dollars, I’ll buy out your soap-making formula and process. At the same time, you’ll also get a big backer. How about that?”
Meng Ziyi kept trying to threaten and seduce Li Hui, and his words were full of arrogance and contempt. Perhaps he also knew Li Hui's background and knew that Li Hui had no foundation, so he seemed to have no respect.
As everyone knows, Li Hui is extremely disgusted. Although Li Hui does not want to cause trouble, has Li Hui ever been a person who is afraid of trouble? Ask Han Yong, the housekeeper of the Gu family's South Residence, ask Feng Heizi, Wang Guangzu, ask the gang who were killed in Nianzi Mountain
People who are burned to death will know it. Li Hui did not accept the threat.
"Mr. Meng, after telling you a little bit, who is your master? You refuse to tell me who he is, but you make me believe what you say. Isn't this trying to force someone to do something difficult? How do I know if you are a liar?
Are you just talking nonsense?" Li Hui asked with a smile, trying to find out who was coveting him behind his back.
Meng Ziyi chuckled and said: "You don't have to worry about who it is, in short, you just need to believe it."
"What are you talking about? Why should I believe you? If you refuse to say it clearly, this matter will be dropped. Mr. Meng can do it himself." Li Hui waved his hand and said.
Meng Ziyi frowned and stared at Li Hui for a moment, then whispered: "Okay, since you insist on knowing, then it's okay for me to tell you. But you are not allowed to say it randomly. If you ruin the reputation of my master, you will die without a burial."
Land. My master is the Yu family of Yingchuan, the largest family in the Jin Dynasty. Now, you should understand why you are so lucky? But with the support of the Yu family and the appreciation of my master, you will soon be able to
His official career is prosperous and he has real power."
Li Hui was horrified and suddenly realized that it was the Yu family who coveted his secret soap-making recipe and wanted to win her love with a sword. The Yu family was indeed a wealthy family in the Jin Dynasty. It seemed a bit exaggerated to say that they were the first family, but compared with Wang Xie
, Yu's strength is not inferior.
The Yu family in Yingchuan has been extremely powerful in the Jin Dynasty since the generation of Yu Liang. Yu Liang once served as an official in Zhongshu Ling, and was in charge of various military duties at home and abroad. During the Wangdun Rebellion, Yu Liang, Wang Dao and others
Together they put down the rebellion and made great achievements. The Yu family has since become comparable to the Wang Xie family.
An important reason for the Yu family's prosperity is their marriage relationship with the Sima family.
Yu Liang's sister Yu Wenjun was the queen of Jin Ming Emperor Sima Shao. This relationship alone was enough to establish the Yu family's status in the Jin Dynasty.
The Yu family once fully took charge of the Jin Dynasty after Wang Dao, but Yu Liang acted harshly and was not tolerant enough, which caused a lot of criticism. The "Su Jun Rebellion" was triggered by forcibly dismissing Su Jun from his post, which led to
This was the second major crisis of the Jin Dynasty after Wang Dao's Rebellion. After that, the Yu family's status declined.
But even so, the relationship between the Yu family and the royal family still continues. The current emperor Sima Yi's queen Yu Daolian is the sister of the current head of the Yu family, Yu Xi. The marriage relationship with the Sima family has stabilized the Yu family's
The status is to provide support for the Yu family's relatives.
Nowadays, the Yu family controls the military power of the Chinese Army. Yu Xi is the auxiliary general and the leader of the Central Army, and Yu Xi's younger brother Yu Rou leads the Central Guard Army. The two brothers control most of the troops of the Jiankang Central Army. In addition, Yu
Xi's younger brother Yu Yun was the governor of Guangzhou, Yu Qian was the chief minister, and Yu Miao was the king of Kuaiji and joined the army. More than a dozen children of the Yu family held important military positions in the Chinese army.
It can be said that although the Yu family's power is not as comprehensive as it was when Yu Liang was alive, it is still a powerful and powerful family in the Jin Dynasty. In a sense, Mencius said that the Wang Xie family is not as good as the Yu family
This is not bragging, because the Yu family controls the military power of the Chinese army. From the perspective of military strength, it is indeed the only powerful family that can check and balance Huan Wen.
Li Hui really didn't expect that the master of Meng Ziyi was actually the Yu family. This was somewhat surprising. The Yu family was a high-ranking family and a top noble family. They should be rich and powerful. How could they covet other people's wealth?
.This somewhat loses the grace and dignity of a high-ranking official.
But after thinking about it, this is actually not unusual. Where there is profit, it will naturally attract coveted eyes. High-ranking officials have always been as fierce as wolves and tigers in grabbing profits. Just like the Gu family in Wu County in the south of the Yangtze River
In addition to farmland, the industries of a wealthy family involve various fields. Even if it is a small profit, they must seize all the food. The wealthy family members use greed to stabilize their economic foundation and continue the family's strength.
What's more, my current way of making money is not just a small profit, but a big business. In just one month, I only supplied a small number of noble families, and I have already made nearly 10,000 yuan in profit. Once the market is fully opened,
, large-scale soap making, comprehensively reducing costs and prices, can be extended to the families of large, medium and small gentry and even ordinary citizens throughout Jin Dynasty. What a huge market it will be. The benefits of this will be huge.
They could see this, and the Yu family must have also realized this, so they decided to fight for love and this way of making money...
