Chapter 281 Treating guests without paying(1/2)
When Mr. Tang heard their chats over and over again, they did not reach the topic, so he said:
"Butler Meng, brothers from the Li family heard that you were going to sell land, so I would like to ask if this manor can be cheaper."
When Butler Meng understood, he realized that it was not the Tang family who bought the land, but became an intermediary.
What the face is like:
"Brothers of Li, you must know how expensive the land was when we bought the land, and then we spent a lot of money on building a house. To be honest, we didn't make any money at this price. Have you seen me like this? It changed a lot in the past six months!"
Butler Meng said so miserablely. Anyone who has seen him before knows that it is really embarrassing him. A person who can't manage crops, can he not work hard after being sent to manage crops?
Pity is one thing, and in terms of money, one less copper is also a little less.
With this idea, Li Zhihao started to cut the price, starting from 100 taels of silver.
After hearing this, the housekeeper Tang covered his face and said, "He didn't care!" Let these two fight!
"Manager Li, are you a little bit unintentional? Do you think 100 taels of silver is a copper coin? I can't continue to talk!"
Butler Meng wanted to throw away the grapefruit, and the whole farm was only 400 taels of silver. This was 100 taels less. Isn’t it the money I used to buy the land at the beginning?
But they also used about 100 taels of silver to build a house. How to fill this big hole... The most important thing is that he can't pay the wrong amount!
"Don't be angry, butler Meng, aren't we buying and selling? There are always bargaining prices!"
Li Zhihao did not treat the other party's anger, but also treated him angry, and his smile did not change at all!
"Hmph, do you think you are selling cabbage? What price do you give me?"
Butler Meng was so angry that his face turned red and almost slapped the table. He was still a little rational, and that was in a hurry to sell the farm.
"Butler Meng, we can't just make a small price, right? Rice will increase prices and lower prices!"
Butler Meng’s anger was not so fast, so he kept saying hello:
"Then you can't just go 100 taels when you go. This is not my farm. How do I explain it? Are you not making things difficult for me? Is it necessary to talk about it?"
"Then it's 310 taels."
"No, who will fill this hole in 90 ounces?"
Butler Tang listened to their price reduction from 100 taels. At first, it was a drop of 10 taels, and later it was a drop of one copper plate and one copper plate.
It was the first time he saw a business like this. It was indeed different. It was like selling vegetables. When a rich man bought things, the other party could only keep raising prices. He found this way of negotiation of price reduction on days and found it very funny.
The two kept talking about the dishes, but they hadn't talked about stabilizing the price.
Butler Meng wanted to find a buyer, but he didn't want to reduce the price.
Li Zhihao had that kind of idea. In short, the transaction cannot be traded at a fixed price. He is willing to make the other party lose a copper coin.
He felt that it was his hard-earned money and could not be wasted.
"Let's have a meal first, let's have a meal first, you guys will talk."
When Mr. Tang heard this, he had to speak. No matter how much the other party negotiated, or who invited the guests, he felt that his mission had been completed and left first after dinner.
Will they succeed in the later conversation? He, the middleman, has done his job.
Don't waste time on their words.
"Eat, eat." Li Zhihao said, and drank it all in one sip with the teacup. He was thirsty for too long.
"We don't have to talk about it later, and it will be dark if we continue to talk."
Butler Meng glared at Li Zhihao, feeling that his broken mouth hurt even more. Was it easy for him to endure the pain and speak just now?
A chatting throat chubby.
"Hehe, I only have lunch at this moment. Could it be that Butler Meng still has dinner with me? That's not OK. It's dark and the cow won't walk."
Then after eating, the two of them were not idle and were still quarreling.
Butler Tang didn't want to eat it after taking a few bites. The two of them kept spitting out saliva and talking to prevent the virus. The chopsticks he stopped.
The two of them who were having a lot of chatting didn't care about him. Finally, the young housekeeper Tang said he left first, and they didn't know whether they had paid the bill or not.
The two young butler Tang, who were talking about the price, forgot about it.
In the end, the two of them always kept the price of five silver coins, and stopped at 395 taels.
Li Zhihao had been wasting his mouth for a long time and could only lose five taels of silver. He didn't think it was wrong. Five taels of silver was his monthly salary.
He earned himself five taels of silver, and he was already very proud. He could have killed ten taels of silver better at that time, but Butler Meng was too so he had a price with him, a farmer, for so long, and he looked quite miserable.
It is not easy to be a slave in the official family if you feel it.
When Mr. Meng mentioned this price, it was actually not impossible to bargain. Ten or five taels of silver were still in the bank. The manor was in a hurry to make a move. It was actually not a bargain price for such a high price.
It is for others to kill high prices. After half a year of operation, the manor has recovered a little more or less, and it is not a loss. It has worked hard for half a year but has not made any profit.
Butler Meng also talked about the products in the farmhouse, such as vegetables that have not yet been harvested, and they are still raising chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, and cows.
Li Zhihao made up for him some more money.
The two set the price at the end, and Li Zhihao proposed another condition: The matter of buying and selling the manor must be kept confidential, and the manor that the Ye family and the Li family should not be bought together as their owner said.
"Why did this condition come out?"
Butler Meng felt that sooner or later, others would know about the manor and others, so why not let the people of the Meng family know about it?
"Butler Meng, we have no grudges. We are afraid that your ladies have ideas. It is better to have less trouble than more trouble. As long as we make the horse buy, you can go to the capital with the master."
Although Li Zhihao didn't understand what he said very well, when Butler Meng heard it, he immediately understood what he meant.
Their lady seemed to have had a holiday with the little girl from the Ye family. I heard of several collisions and quarrels. According to their lady's personality, I knew that the manor bought by the Ye family and the Li family might not be sold to them.
Just as Li Zhihao said, he was so anxious that he wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible.
When Mr. Meng thought about this, he thought it was better to mention the Li family. When he signed the land deed document, it was already done. Besides, he did not lie, so there should be no problem with such a small matter.
Their ladies seemed to have packed their luggage and were ready to go to Beijing, so they should not pay attention to who bought the manor.
The two reached a consensus and found out that Young Master Tang was missing, so they were full and prepared to write documents, calligraphy, paintings and pay.
When they were about to leave, they asked the waiter, and the waiter said that the money was recorded in the account of Mr. Tang.
Butler Meng didn't have much idea of going out first, and he was very happy that he could make a deal.
Li Zhihao was even more happy. The middle-aged man found the right thing to the Tang family and didn't have to pay for the treat. This time the transaction was reduced by 5 taels.
When Li Zhihao went downstairs, he wanted to hum a small song happily. He looked at Butler Meng in front of him and felt that he would make a deal first and then have fun.
Li Zhihao took the ox cart out of the yard of the restaurant, got on the ox cart to drive the ox cart, and glanced at Butler Meng who also led a horse out of the yard.
Following him to drive a ox cart, he was proud to hum a song. When he saw Butler Meng who was riding a horse and looking at him, he didn't dare to do so. If he was too proud, he might offend this person.
Butler Meng took Li Zhihao to the yamen and took him to find the master. He finished the matter within half an hour.
Li Zhihao went out for negotiation this time, but brought the money from the two companies to join the shares, and the money was kept in his baggage.
Some of them are silver notes, but three or four hundred taels don’t sound like a lot, but if it’s copper, there are a lot of them.
There is also a lot of money, so it’s easy to pretend to be a little bit. In order to pretend less and not to put so much money at home, their brothers have exchanged their money for silver notes in the past two years.
My brother-in-law also gave silver notes, and I heard that it was the dividend that the factory just distributed.
On the transaction contract, Li Zhihao wrote several names of the companies, and he was the representative of the company, wrote three documents. He also had to give his master some money and pay taxes for this matter.
As the seller, Butler Meng stood by and had a leisurely tea, received a document and left.
It was already afternoon, and Li Zhihao looked at it almost evening, and it might be dark if he didn't go home soon.
Before leaving, did Li Zhihao invite his master to dinner? I would like to say politely that he would have time to drink tea when he has time.
"Well, I'll wait!" The master did not regard this sentence as a joke. If he did it here next year or in the future, there would always be a chance to deal with it.
Li Zhihao got things done. On the way back, he touched the document in his arms and then proudly hummed a small song and went home.
When he returned to Huilong Town, he did not go home immediately, but instead invited his brother-in-law to the manor managed by his elder brother.
Secretly handed out three documents in the room where my elder brother lived.
Li Zhihao smiled proudly.
"Okay, brother-in-law, I underestimated it. I thought it would take a few days to get the result. I didn't expect you to get it done in one day, so we don't have to go to the county town anymore."
Acer praised the proud brother-in-law in front of him.
"It's really fast!" Li Zhijun praised himself and smiled, and indeed asked his younger brother to go faster than him.
"You need to say, haha, I have spent a lot of talk today. If you have time, you have to reward me!" Li Zhihao was so happy that he was praised by the two of them.
"Okay, let's have a drink on the second day of the Chinese New Year."
Acer did not say that he would celebrate today by drinking, but chose to celebrate when he returned to his parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year.
"Okay, it's too late. Brother-in-law, go home first, and we brothers go home first."
Acer agreed and took his contract home to collect it.
Li Zhijun put away his contract. The two brothers had a tacit understanding. Although they had not separated and had already started a family, they had to go back and hand it over to their wife for release.
Li Zhijun drove the ox cart by himself when he returned home, and Li Zhihao was enjoying his elder brother's thoughtfulness at this time.
