At this time, Cui Xin and Cui Sanlang, who had been sitting quietly next to Cui Cheng, suddenly stood up and saluted Qin Ming and said:
"Brother Qin."
Qin Ming stood up and returned the salute and said:
"Brother Cui."
Cui Sanlang stood up and said to Qin Ming with a smile:
"Brother Qin, I went to visit my aunt yesterday. She heard that So-and-so was coming to visit your house today, and she specifically asked So-and-so to bring you some gifts. If it's convenient for Brother Qin, why don't you go and have a look with So-and-so?"
"Just let these uncles have a good discussion here."
Qin Ming heard this and said doubtfully:
"Who is Brother Cui's aunt? Do you know her?"
Cui Sanlang slapped his forehead, a hint of apology appeared on his face, and he smiled:
"Look at XX's memory, I forgot to tell Brother Qin that XX's biological aunt is Cui, the wife of Duke Lu."
Qin Ming suddenly realized what he said. He looked at the jade pendant given to him by Aunt Cheng on his waist and secretly wondered whether he should take some time to visit this elder in Chang'an.
Thinking of the amiable elder of the Cheng family, Qin Ming looked at Cui Sanlang much more pleasantly.
He patted Cui Sanlang on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Then there's Brother Lautry."
Qin Ming turned to Wang Gui and others, saluted and said:
"You can discuss it here for a while, but agree in advance that if you want someone to sell the cement formula, in addition to agreeing to the conditions just mentioned, you also need to mention the price, which should be at least 300,000 yuan."
"If you think it's expensive, you can think about it again, but you have to give me a reply tomorrow at the latest, otherwise I might sell the formula to another family the day after tomorrow."
After saying that, Qin Ming led all the maids and Cui Sanlang in the room out of the front hall.
After Qin Ming left, the front hall fell into deathly silence.
After a while, a few people gathered together and started muttering quietly.
.......
On the other hand, Cui Sanlang quickly pointed out the gift Cui asked him to send among the many gifts in the courtyard.
Qin Ming stepped forward and opened one of the cabinets to take a look, and immediately felt a warm current flowing throughout his body.
Cui Sanlang smiled and introduced:
"Brother Qin, don't look at these clothes and shoes as ordinary, but my aunt made them for you with her own hands."
"To be honest, since my aunt married into the Cheng family, she has never made clothes for me. If my aunt hadn't specifically told me, I would have wanted to take these clothes off."
Qin Ming smiled and said:
"Then I'd like to thank Brother Cui for showing mercy."
After saying this, Chun Xing, who was behind Qin Mingchao, waved and said:
"Chun Xing, take all these clothes to my room and give them to Qingwan or Sishe."
Chun Xing nodded and said:
"promise."
After Qin Ming finished explaining, he turned around and pointed to the corridor towards Cui Sanlang.
"Brother Cui, let's go over there and sit for a while."
Cui Sanlang nodded, and then he and Qin Ming got up and walked towards the corridor.
Since the last farewell at Baihua Pavilion, Cui Sanlang has heard Qin Ming's name in the ears of others these days.
The most lively topic in the market now is the discussion about who the person in front of him is.
After all, from the "Qingyu Case. Yuanxi" that spread throughout the capital during the Lantern Festival to the recent "Three Character Classic" that became popular in Chang'an City, they were all written by him.
Cui Sanlang now admires, or rather admires, Qin Ming's knowledge.
So now that he had the opportunity to be alone with Qin Ming, he thought about asking Qin Ming for advice.
But before he could speak, Qin Ming asked him one step ahead:
"By the way, Brother Cui, since Aunt Cheng is your aunt, why did you act like you didn't know Chu Mo and the others last time in Baihua Pavilion?"
When Cui Sanlang heard Cheng Chumo's name, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and then he thought of the embarrassing scene of visiting his aunt in Cheng's house for the first time.
When he got off the carriage that day and saw the two vulgar warriors standing next to Mr. Cui, he felt bad.
On the contrary, the two brothers Cheng Chumo behaved very generously.
After learning that Cui Sanlang was his cousin, he became very close to him. However, at the banquet that day, he was toasted a lot by the two brothers. After returning home, Cui Xin vomited all night.
Even thinking about it now, Cui Sanlang still has lingering fears.
So it was not until those two vulgar warriors went off to war that Cui Sanlang dared to go to Cheng Mansion to visit his aunt.
"Brother Qin doesn't know. When my aunt married into the Cheng Mansion, Xin was still young, so she never came to Chang'an with her family."
"When I met you in Pingkangfang before, Xin had never visited his aunt, so he didn't know Chu Mo and Chu Liang, these two cousins."
"Therefore, a lot of jokes were made at that time, and now I feel ashamed when I think about it."
Qin Ming suddenly realized when he heard this.
"So it turns out that the flood has really washed away the Dragon King Temple, and one family cannot recognize the other."
Cui Sanlang smiled and said:
"Who says it isn't?"
After a while.
The four people in the living room finally discussed the result, so Zheng He, the youngest among them, walked out of the front hall, walked to Qin Ming and saluted:
"Director Qin, my brother and the others have already discussed this and are waiting for you now."
Qin Ming saluted the superior from the Ministry of Works, then stood up and said hello, and then the three of them returned to the front hall together.
After everyone sat down again, Qin Ming asked with a smile:
"Wang Shizhong, Manager Cui, and Manager Zheng, I wonder what the final result of your discussion was?"
Several people looked at each other, and finally Wang Gui stood up and said:
"We agree to Xiaoyou Qin's conditions, but we have to add two more conditions."
Qin Ming nodded and said:
"Please say."
"First, you have to promise us that you will not open a cement workshop in our family's hometown in the future. We can do it anywhere else. Second, the price of cement needs to be discussed by the four of us in the future, and the profit must not be less than half of the cost price."
"If Qin Xiaoyou can agree to these two points, then we can sign the contract now and we can send the money this afternoon."
Qin Ming agreed almost without hesitation. Anyway, there was plenty of money to be made here, not to mention the extra 300,000 yuan out of thin air. He was already very satisfied.
After all, the entire Qin Mansion has been busy for more than half a year and has only made less than 200,000 yuan in cash!
Now he just sells a cement road formula that will be leaked sooner or later, and he has earned 300,000 yuan!
This is already a large amount of money, equivalent to one-third of the imperial court's annual tax.
Wang Gui and others were very happy to see Qin Ming agreeing so happily, and then urged Qin Ming to sign the contract quickly.
After a while,
Qin and Ming each put away the contract. Wang Gui and others saw that the matter was over, so they all said goodbye.
Qin Ming didn't let them eat. After all, Qin Ming believed that the sooner these people got home, the sooner the money would enter his warehouse.
How could Qin Ming be willing to delay such a thing!
