After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 116 I like guests like this
Lin Xi looked at the hair crown on her head in the mirror. The peacock feathers on it were made from the feathers of countless kingfishers.

"Don't give me any jade jewelry in the future, and tell your subordinates not to make jade jewelry either."

Lin Wushang: "I didn't expect you to be so kind to Kingfisher."

Lin Xi smiled, with a cold smile: "It's not out of kindness, I just prefer the way the kingfisher looks alive."

Lin Wushang saw through it without saying anything, nor did he refute her.

I just feel like I know her better.

She loves money, but gets it wisely.

He is ruthless and kills without blinking an eye, but is willing to save his cat.

He obviously liked Diancui jewelry very much, but after learning that it was made from kingfisher feathers, he was not allowed to give it away anymore, and he even refused to let his subordinates make any more Diancui jewelry.

Her temperament is really contradictory.

Lin Wushang: "Then I will ask someone to find some kingfishers for you to raise someday."

Lin Xi took off the heavy hair crown on her head and said, "No, I'm not interested in raising birds."

Fingering the beads on her hair crown, she asked, "How's the office's business going?"

Lin Wushang opened another smaller box and took out a stack of orders, "Many people have already placed orders."

Lin Xi took it over and looked at it, and couldn't help but be shocked, "A fire pit is priced at 588 taels? Your cousin is a talent, how did he do it?"

She, a profiteer, would cry when she saw this.

Lin Wushang smiled: "It wasn't my cousin who set the price, it was the customers who insisted on bidding so high. It seems that thanks to your idea, those people were rushing to be the first to own a fire pit. They compared each other's bids, and the price was so high. It’s soared so high.”

Lin Xi: "...Haha, very good, I like such guests."

There are dozens of orders, and the prices above are divided into three levels. 588 taels is the highest level, followed by 288 taels and 88 taels.

Different price points correspond to different appearances of the fire pit.

But even if the entire fire bed was covered with gold, they would still make a lot of money.

These dozens of people can get her at least 5000 taels into her account!
These are all her God of Wealth.

But she quickly thought of a question, "The fire bed is so profitable, will the Cheng family be jealous and want to rob it?"

Lin Wushang: "That's for sure."

Lin Xi: "It's a pity that there is only one company with the technology to make hot pots, and there is no other company. The craftsmen have also signed a contract not to leak the secrets. Otherwise, the compensation alone will be enough to bankrupt them. In this case, how can the Cheng family rob it?" ?”

Lin Wushang: "Xibao, don't underestimate your opponents at any time. What if the Cheng family is willing to pay compensation for those craftsmen? Or what if their families are captured and coerced? Are you sure those craftsmen can always bear it? ?”

He is very clear about the Cheng family's methods.

Because this is what the Cheng family did after the previous failed acquisition of Huichun Hall. Fortunately, he had prepared well in advance and arranged for the family members of the pharmaceutical masters in advance, so that the Cheng family could not succeed.

"The fire kang is different from medicine. Medicines cannot be made without a prescription. The slightest difference can make a thousand miles difference. However, the fire kang is actually not complicated. If the Cheng family dismantles the made fire kang, they will ask experienced craftsmen to learn and imitate it. It can probably be imitated.”

Lin Xi took a sip of milk tea and licked the milk foam around her mouth.

"That's what you said. If that's the case, I'll give them a big gift when the time comes."

What happened next was as expected by the two of them. The Cheng family also placed an order to build several fire pits.After the construction was completed, the Cheng family invited craftsmen to dismantle the fire pits, and asked the craftsmen to analyze how the fire pits were built and let them imitate them.

It's a pity that the imitation is an imitation after all, and the heat is always a little off. Either it will crack when it burns, or it will make the room full of smoke, and it is not as good as the genuine one.

So the Cheng family secretly contacted people in the office and tried to bribe them with money.

The Cheng family first came into contact with Gongsun Hui, the shopkeeper, and even started to deal with Mrs. Gongsun. Mrs. Gongsun came to Gongsun Hui, playing emotional cards to her, and using filial piety to intimidate and induce her.

At first, Gongsun Hui really thought that her mother came to her to take her back. But later, when he found out her purpose, he became even colder and rejected her directly.

Gongsun Hui, the shopkeeper, couldn't get through here, so the Cheng family set their sights on the craftsmen again.

There really were people who couldn't resist the temptation of money and leaked the key to making hot pots.

Lin Xi and Lin Wushang had expected this, but they let it go and deliberately ignored it. They also wanted to use the Cheng family to sort out the personnel in the office.

Lin Xi does not think it is necessary for employees to be loyal to her. After all, the relationship between her and her employees is just that of superior and subordinate. She pays them wages and they do things for her, that's all.

But of course she couldn't keep someone who would betray her whenever he was tempted. She would fire him directly and demand high liquidated damages.

Naturally, the craftsman had no money, and the Cheng family, who had originally promised to pay the liquidated damages for him, threw him aside after learning how to make the hot pot.

If there is no useful person, how can the Cheng family look at him again?
The craftsman returned to the office and cried to Gongsun Hui about how difficult his family was, and begged her to intercede with his employer on his behalf and let him go.

"Oh, let him go? Why did you go so far? You don't have to pay for betraying me, right?"

After listening to Lin Wushang's account, Lin Xi looked up from the account book.

"Go and tell him that he should walk around the county three times barefoot and accuse the Cheng family of their evil deeds as he goes. It would be best if everyone in the county knows about it. If he does it, I will consider taking him back."

Of course, it's just a matter of consideration.

"Besides, if you send someone to watch him secretly, don't let the Cheng family kill him."

If the Cheng family stole her prescription, then she would first disgust the Cheng family and let the world know how dirty the Cheng family, who were disguised as aristocratic family, was in private.

However, the craftsman did not dare to do this at all. He only begged Gongsun Hui blindly, but he was just looking at her for being thin-skinned and soft-hearted.

Lin Xi had no patience anymore, "You don't want to pay liquidated damages, right? OK, let's trade it with a pair of legs. Qin Shuang, go and break his legs."

The craftsman who had his legs broken could no longer come to the office and kneel down and kowtow to beg for mercy.

Gongsun Hui was finally clean.

After the Cheng family learned how to make a hot bed, they quickly opened a shop and suppressed the office in many ways. They not only wanted to seize the business, but also wanted to create a monopoly.

Those who wanted to build a fire pit, but those who chose Xiling Office instead of Cheng's shop, were in trouble.

Of course, it was not the Cheng family that was causing trouble, but the Qianhai Gang, who had a close relationship with the Cheng family.

The Qianhai Gang is equivalent to a dog raised by the Cheng family, a group of thugs who do shady things for them.

The Cheng family is an aristocratic family, and the aristocratic family is as elegant and noble as the breeze and the bright moon. How can it be involved in fighting and killing.

As time goes by, anyone who wants to build a hot bed can only go to the Cheng family's shop, otherwise they will wait for someone from the Qianhai Gang to come to their door.

Xiling Office's business plummeted.
