Chapter 238 Negotiation (!)

Yang Fan was drinking tea with a smile in his eyes and not saying a word. Although it's just a few short words, it can also be seen that the second brother seems to have a close relationship with the Liu sisters. The two beautiful women, one is dissatisfied and the other is maintained. No matter how they look at it, they all seem to be jealous.

"The second brother's life is a peach blossom. Be careful not to let your sister-in-law know, or you will be miserable." Hearing the big brother's secret words, Xiao Ran was suddenly speechless. I can't explain it for a moment. It's getting darker and darker, or I gave up the explanation.

"What Miss Liu Ying said was reasonable. She came in a hurry and didn't prepare gifts. She happened to be wearing a jade pendant from Kunlun. May Miss Liu not dislike it." Xiao Ran took out a thumb-sized white jade from his arms. The jade was flawless and oval. He passed through the small hole with a silver thread and knew at a glance that it was not extraordinary. The rescue was like fighting a fire. It was originally prepared for Xia Ruoyan, but he couldn't care so much at this time.

With the assets of the Liu family, this jade is naturally affordable. But the meaning is naturally different from the person who sends the jade pendant. Before my sister refused, Liu Ying had already taken it: "It's right to take it out early. I'll take it for my sister."

" Mr. Xiao has spent a lot of money." Although Liu Fangfei had the intention of blaming her sister on her face, she was actually grateful.

"This time, one is a reward, and the other is the future development of Xiang Yaxuan. Let's see if there is anything that Xiao can help.

Liu Fangfei nodded and said, "Xiang Yaxuan has a share of Mr. Xiao, which is naturally not a problem. Some things still need to be told truthfully. Just a few days ago, several shopkeepers of Liu's Commercial Bank couldn't help but transfer to the Zheng family. Therefore, the supply of perfume is a little surprising. However, Fangfei has found a solution to transport raw materials from Korea, Ryukyu and other countries, which can not only avoid competing with the rest and save costs. What does Mr. Xiao want to put more energy into opening branches in various states and counties? Xiao Ran nodded and admired Liu Fangfei's business talent. Sure enough, I didn't choose the wrong partner.

"If Mr. Xiao is not in a hurry to leave, can he stay for a few days? At that time, he will meet with foreign envoys together to settle the matter, so as not to have any problems. If there are still some problems in the future development, he also needs to ask for advice." Xiao Ran didn't help much. Naturally, it was not good to leave immediately. Seeing that his eldest brother did not object, he agreed.

During the conversation, Liu Fangfei always looked like a lady. She spoke with a decent smile and did not show the feelings hidden in her heart. Suddenly, she figured out: "If it is destined to be an ending-free story, then let it rot in the bottom of your heart and leave the best memories."

Liu Ying and her sister strolled on the path in the back garden and said, "Don't you really want to see Mr. Xiao? Why did it suddenly fade?"

Liu Fangfei said, "He is fine now, isn't he?" That's enough."

Liu Ying sighed, put the jade pendant in her sister's hand and said, "Just put it down."

"Sister, have you invited Mr. Yin? I still need more help from him this time. Don't neglect it.

"Um, I heard that Mr. Yin has studied ancient and modern times, and knows astronomy and geography. It has always been not easy to meet guests. This time, the promise was made, which did not seem to be as unreasonable as rumored by the outside world.

Liu Fangfei said, "That's good. It's over, and you and I can rest for a while."

In five days, Xiao Ran purchased everything needed along the way in Yuhang, and also went to the palace with Liu Fangfei and others to inspect and proposed several improvement measures. Although it is incomprehensible as usual, Liu Fangfei is still artificial. There is no need to hammer the drum, eliminating Xiao Ran's explanation.

The place to negotiate with foreign envoys is in the governor's mansion. Because the coast is under the jurisdiction of the governor, Governor Feng coordinated from it, and several envoys readily promised. Xiao Ran and Yang Fan went together as behind-the-scenes shopkeepers of Liu's business. Except for the governor Feng in an official robe. There are three other men who dress differently from those of the Central Plains. The governor pointed to the three people and said, "This is Mr. Tian from Ryukyu and Mr. Jin from Goryeo. Mr. Yamaguchi of Silla.

"This is the daughter of an old man in my hometown and a famous shopkeeper in the south of the Yangtze River."

Xiao Ran is wondering how the other party can understand the cold rain, and a person who looks like a teacher has translated it. Although the translation is not very smooth, at least the meaning is similar. Xiao Ran couldn't help looking at these two people more, but people who can speak other languages are rare. Especially in dynasties that are not open to the outside world.

The man translated it in three languages and sat down in the chair next to the three people. It can be seen that everyone respects him very much. Liu Fangfei said, "Mr. Xiao, this is the famous Mr. Yin, who comes to help communicate with foreign envoys." Xiao Ran saluted, and Mr. Yin's eyes were unsatisfactory. Xiao Ran smiled in his heart, but said nothing more. Some talented people will inevitably feel that they are superior. Presumably Mr. Yin is such a person. I don't know what it looks like for Xiao Ran to speak foreign languages in more than 30 countries. If it hadn't been for the fear of being too sharp, I would have taught him a lesson.

Everyone sat down and the governor said, "Nister Liu, uncle watched you grow up, and your family business today is really admirable. These people are difficult to serve. Whether they can talk about it or not depends on your ability.

"It's Uncle Lao's bothered." After saying this, Liu Fangfei actually said it again, and it was not the weak woman. It was simply a big picture, and everyone's eyes lit up.

"A few people who came to the Tang Dynasty also opened up channels for domestic goods, and the people of the Tang Dynasty were completely honored to work in many places. Presumably, you also know the strength of Liu's business in the Jiangnan area, and it is not a problem to accept it. What do you think about cooperation? Mr. Yin paused for a long time and dressed in three languages. The languages of the three countries are different, and it sounds like a tongue knot. This person's translation is quite fluent, and he really has the capital to be proud.

"All three envoys agreed to cooperate with Liu's firm, but the specific acquisition price and dividends need to be discussed in detail." Mr. Yin said.

As long as the three have the intention to cooperate, money is not a problem. After all, the profit of perfume is high enough. Liu Fangfei said, "The situation in several countries is different. According to the information obtained from the ethnic group, there are additional travel expenses such as Shanghai transportation. Collect enough raw materials at three times the price of the three countries.

At that time, there was no exchange rate, but gold and silver were indeed common among various countries. Although it was collected at three times the local price, it was not much higher than the price of Datang, because it was the first cooperation, and more probes were also needed. Mr. Yin frowned and flashed away and recounted it again. Xiao Ran's half-squinted eyes suddenly opened, and there was a sarcastic smile on the corners of his mouth: "Banmen play with the axe!"

"Miss Liu, the three envoys think the price is too low and you don't have the sincerity to cooperate."

Liu Fangfei frowned. Needless to say, she could see it from the other party's expression and said cruelly, "Then buy it at four times the price." After being nervous, he glanced at Xiao Ran with the afterglow of the corners of his eyes. Seeing that the other party was full of smiles, he couldn't help but get angry and said, "Isn't Mr. Xiao worried at all?"
