"Someone's coming."
"master."
Shen Jin said quickly, "Go and invite your second uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, and eldest cousin to come over immediately."
"Master, at this hour..."
"Go quickly!!"
"Yes Yes."
Shen Jin took a deep breath and sat in silence on the chair, his mind filled with Li Hao's words...
In fact, he has already made a decision.
However, even though he is the head of the Shen family, he cannot be arbitrary in such a big matter. He must obtain the consent of several important members of the family.
Otherwise, it will be nothing but chicken feathers again.
Last time, Li Qing did it in the name of the royal family and could not tolerate rejection. This time it was different. This was a business cooperation, and the amount was huge, so it had to be negotiated.

"Am I handsome?" Li Hao couldn't hide his pride.
Li Qing pouted, "Do you think Shen Jin will agree?"
"I must agree." Li Hao was very confident. "I analyzed it all at the wine table. He is not a fool. He naturally understands the calculation. It is impossible for him to refuse a deal that is sure to make money without losing money."
Li Qing didn't refute. He could see that although Shen Jin was in pain, he would most likely agree. After thinking about it, he sighed: "Li Hao."
"What's wrong?"
Li Qing said seriously: "I'll give you a piece of advice."
"What?"
"You have to be moderate when making money, don't be greedy." Li Qing said, "Also, don't think that you are the only one who is smart. Take today's matter as an example. The reason why you can take the initiative is that you happened to see the essence, but the essence is not You have created it, you have to understand this, otherwise, you will only fall into arrogance and complacency.”
After a pause, he said, "Being modest will bring you losses; no one can succeed forever. You must have a sense of awe. You can make money, but you can't only focus on money. Do you understand?"
"Oh, I understand." Li Hao nodded sadly and muttered, "You are so lenient."
Li Qing chuckled: "I don't care, because I know the truth, so you can just have fun and take advantage without even realizing it."
"...Sir, your ears are really good. You can hear me even if I whisper so quietly. It seems I won't be able to speak ill of you behind your back anymore." Li Hao said with a smile.
Li Qing was too lazy to talk nonsense to him, and just said: "Remember, if you get into money and become a profiteer in the future, I won't be able to kill you."
"You..." Li Hao was angry but timid, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa Li, which branch are you from?"
"What, you think I'm too lenient?"
"I don't dare." Li Hao said dullly, "I'm just curious."
"Curiosity killed the cat. Some things are better not to inquire about." Li Qing said lightly, "I will let you know when it's time for you to know."
"... Then I can tell you what your name is, right?" Li Hao said helplessly, "I don't even know your name."
He asked his parents, but they kept silent and kept secret. When he asked urgent questions, they beat him.
"Li...Evergreen."
"Li Changqing..." Li Hao remembered the name and thought to himself, "I have to look up the family tree when I get back. Hey...why does this name sound so familiar?"
After thinking for a moment, he remembered.
His father's godfather, the previous Yongqing Marquis, was also his godfather, so his name was Li Qing, only one word different from Li Changqing.
"What are you thinking about?" Li Qing raised his hand and slapped him in the face, saying, "You can call me Master Qing."
"...It's a beautiful thought." Li Hao was so angry at this slap that he didn't bother to think about the name, and hummed: "I am also the heir of Yongqing Hou, even if you are the elder , do you have to give me some dignity?"
"Papa!" Li Qing patted his face, "Face is earned by oneself, not given by others, do you understand?"
"You slapped me in the face again!!"
"I'm taking pictures." Li Qing said.
'Dang Dang Dang...' the woman's crisp voice sounded, "Little Marquis, the bath water is ready."
"Coming!" Li Qingyang replied.
Li Hao: (⊙_⊙)?
"Young man, sex is a big obstacle. If you can't pass it, you will never achieve great things in your life." Li Qing said seriously: "You dare to have sex here, I will castrate you, no joke."
"You... know, how could I be so worthless?" Li Hao snorted: "So, you have to pass the test for me, right?"
Li Qing slapped his hand and cursed: "Is Mr. Qing such a worthless person?"
With that said, he turned around and walked out.
Li Hao was left alone, messy in the wind...
~
Li Hao opened his eyes comfortably and glanced out the window. The sun was shining brightly and it was already three in the sky.
"Well... I had a good sleep." Li Hao stretched and twitched, then turned over and planned to continue sleeping.
At this time, a beautiful woman came in carrying a basin, "Young Master, are you awake?"
"roll!!"
Li Hao was unhappy. Putting aside Qingye's threats, Li Hao was still a young man. How could he eat the leftovers of others?
"...Yes." The woman dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything, so she retreated.
Being disturbed like this, he had no intention of continuing to sleep. He got up and got out of bed to wash up. Then he came to the courtyard, but Li Qing was nowhere to be seen.
"Where did that guy go..." Li Hao said to himself, "Forget it, it's rare that he's not here, so I have to go out for a walk."
"Where to go shopping?"
Li Hao was startled and quickly looked up, only to see that Li Qing had just passed through the Moon Gate and was still more than ten meters away.
"Are you just following the wind?" Li Hao's face was filled with shock.
"Stop talking nonsense. The Shen family has made a decision. Let's go and sign the paperwork."
"I knew it..." Li Hao stopped worrying about Li Qing's hearing. He hurriedly went back to the house to pick up the folding fan, hung up his sword, and smiled proudly, "Let's go."
…
The signing of the document did not go smoothly. On the grounds of avoiding risks, Li Hao set an upper limit for the amount of money he could cover. It could not be more than 150,000 pieces of silk a year. No more than that, it was not guaranteed.
Of course, we can still negotiate, but that's another price.
This made Shen Jin very angry.
However, 150,000 horses is indeed a lot, which can greatly alleviate the inventory pressure. And with Li Hao's big cake, he had to hold his nose and admit it.
It was almost noon when the silk transaction documents were signed.
Shen Jin hosted a banquet for the two of them. This time he learned his lesson and gave up his concubine for a daughter.
This daughter of the Shen family is quite pretty. If there was no threat from Li Qing, maybe Li Hao would really give in, but...
He didn't dare to gamble.
Although they didn't get along much, Li Hao knew very well the temper of this young man. If he really did something to him, he wouldn't be able to grow back.
Li Qing was also quite speechless. This Shen Jin was really following his roots, even the way of giving gifts was exactly the same.
But he ignored that the Li family's wealth was not inferior to that of the Shen family, so giving money was useless.
After the dinner, Shen Jin was still promoting his daughter.
"The young Marquis is handsome and handsome, and the little girl fell in love with him at first sight..."
"Marriage matters are decided by parents." Li Hao interrupted him, "It's useless for you to tell me. Besides, although I'm not married yet, I still have someone to choose from."
The meaning of the words is very clear: Your daughter is not suitable for me!
Shen Jin was a little disappointed, but not discouraged. With Marquis Yongqing's family background, it was impossible for his son to marry a merchant's daughter, even though the Shen family was very wealthy.
"It's okay to be an equal wife." Shen Jin retreated to the next best thing and said with a smile: "If two families get married, they will become one family. When the time comes..."
"At that time, we will no longer be able to handle official matters." The grievances Li Hao suffered from Li Qing were all blamed on Shen Jin, and he said impatiently: "Boss Shen, I am here to talk to the Shen family. Those who are in business are not looking for a wife.”
After a pause, "I have to look at other aspects of cooperation before I can make a decision. If Boss Shen is free, can you take me to the workshop to have a look?"
"Uh-huh..." Shen Jin smiled awkwardly and said: "Little Marquis please, Mr. Li please."
…

Rouge, spices, furniture...
The Shen family has a good business, and after a full month, they only did a bit of shopping, but there are still many things they haven't taken into account.
Li Qing was not idle either. While touring the current operating model, he made suggestions. At the same time, he also gave clear instructions on where to be 'unbridled' and where to be 'restrained'.
With Li Hao, Shen Jin can still negotiate, but with Li Qing, Shen Jin has no room for negotiation.
As long as it was Li Qing, he would comply without any bargaining.
The Shen family expanded wildly, but there were no restrictions from the imperial court, which showed how important Li Qing was in the court.
Although Shen Jin couldn't figure out Li Qing's details, he was even more in awe of Li Qing because of this.
Li Hao didn't know what was going on and was dumbfounded.
On this day, Li Qing made another big push and ordered Shen Jin to make rectifications.
Shen Jin didn't dare to fart, and immediately followed the instructions, even the workshop was stopped.
Li Hao was stunned.
He even had the illusion that Li Qing was the head of the Shen family, the one who told the truth.
"Master Qing, you...then Shen Jin, why do you listen to you so much?" Li Haoshi couldn't understand.
Li Qing smiled lightly and said, "I have face."
"..." Li Hao was speechless, but could not refute. This was not about giving face, this was clearly just following orders and following the lead.
Thinking that his parents were almost the same, Li Hao felt that Li Qing was unfathomable.
"Master Qing, are you... an official in the capital?"
"Have you seen any Ming officials running around?" Li Qing asked.
"Uh... why is that?" Li Hao was full of curiosity.
Li Qing still said the same thing, "You will know when it's your turn to know."
"You... okay, you are the master." Li Hao didn't dare to be tough, he had been slapped too many times these days. óΠъ.oяＧ
"Master Qing, can I relax for two days and take a good stroll?" Li Hao said, "My performance during this period of time cannot be overstated. It is not too much to relax a little, right?"
Li Qing asked: "Does the Li family really want to cooperate in the business of furniture, spices, etc.?"
"If the price is attractive, of course we have to cooperate." Li Hao nodded and said with a smile: "Our 'Yongqing' brand is not just about finished clothes, it will be involved in all aspects in the future."
"Haha, you are quite ambitious."
"Is this called self-motivation?" Li Hao muttered dissatisfiedly, "Isn't doing business just to make money?"
"Li'er is such a li'er, but to be rich you must be benevolent, eat meat for yourself, and let others drink soup." Li Qingdao, "I still say what I said, in the future you will be a profiteer, let's see if I can't kill you."
Li Hao: "..."
At this time, the housekeeper hurried over and said, "Mr. Li, Mr. Li..."
"What's wrong?"
"Someone from the imperial court is here." The housekeeper swallowed his saliva and added, "The Jin Yiwei is looking for you."
Li Hao was startled and then said: "You still said that you are not from the imperial court?"
Li Qing was too lazy to answer him and asked, "Where is he?"
"My Lord, please go back quickly. Those officials have an imperial edict." The housekeeper was extremely anxious.
Seeing him like this, Li Qing was a little anxious. Could it be Zhu Jianshen...
