The Prodigal Son

The next day, Feng Yingxu, who had already had a brief conversation with Luo Qingyi, came to her door again.

Luo Qingyi has talked to many people these days, but after comparison, she still thinks Feng Yingxu is the most suitable.

Therefore, she plans to finalize this matter today.

Luo Qingyi ordered someone to greet Feng Yingxu first, while she ran to the training ground to find Qin Yu, who was practicing martial arts.

"To provide support?"

Qin Yu wiped away his sweat, looking at Luo Qingyi with a wry smile, "I've already given you all the decision-making power, why do you still need me to back you up?"

"What if things fall apart between me and him? Isn't there still Thirteen Young Master?"

Luo Qingyi smiled slyly, then clung to Qin Yu's arm and pleaded softly, "Thirteenth Young Master, please help me out!"

Luo Qingyi's voice was sweet and coquettish, and she rubbed Qin Yu's arm against her chest.

Faced with Luo Qingyi's aggressive advances, Qin Yu naturally could not refuse.

Soon, Qin Yu followed Luo Qingyi outside.

Feng Yingxu was nearly fifty years old and had a large belly.

Although his eyes were small, they gleamed with shrewdness.

"I have met Physician Qin."

Upon seeing Qin Yu, Feng Yingxu immediately stood up and bowed.

Feng Yingxu actually held an official position, and it was a fourth-rank official.

However, this was a nominal official position he obtained through donation, without any real power, and it was incomparable to Qin Yu's fourth-rank official position.

"Sit down, sit down!"

Qin Yu gestured for Feng Yingxu to sit down. "I generally don't get involved in business matters. You can discuss business with Qingyi; I'll just listen from the sidelines."

"good!"

Feng Yingxu nodded and sat down, his gaze falling on Luo Qingyi. "Miss Luo, you know my purpose, so I won't beat around the bush! If possible, I hope that besides selling them yourselves, you will only sell this wine to me!"

Qin Yu's lips curled slightly.

Feng Yingxu certainly has a big appetite!

He wants to get the exclusive distribution rights!

"impossible!"

Luo Qingyi refused without hesitation, "We're both in business, and we both understand the principle of not putting all our eggs in one basket."

"Miss Luo, please don't be so quick to refuse."

Feng Yingxu smiled confidently. "Since I dared to make this offer, I'm sure I'll offer conditions that will entice you!"

"Oh?"

Luo Qingyi became interested. "What are the conditions?"

Feng Yingxu glanced at Qin Yu beside him and slowly said, "As long as Miss Luo agrees to my conditions, I can give you 20% of all my businesses, including the Zunjiu business, for free!"

"Given away for free?"

Luo Qingyi looked at Feng Yingxu with some disbelief.

The Feng family has an extremely vast business network. Giving away 20% of their shares for free—that's a fortune!

Qin Yu was also taken aback by Feng Yingxu's words.

But he quickly realized what was happening and secretly admired Feng Yingxu.

Feng Yingxu claimed that he was giving them shares for free, but in reality, he wanted to get them onto the Feng family's side.

This is equivalent to finding a powerful backer for the Feng family!

Anyone who wants to mess with the Feng family should first ask the Qin family if they agree!

For a family as wealthy as the Fengs, the safety of the family is probably more important than money!

Nobody wants to be slaughtered like a fattened pig.

It's possible that Feng Yingxu has his eye on the imperial merchant position that has become vacant after the collapse of the Luo family!

"Yes, it's free!"

Feng Yingxu nodded: "You don't need to do anything, just sit back and wait for your dividends every year!"

Luo Qingyi had anticipated many negotiation processes beforehand.

But this unexpected windfall left her somewhat bewildered.

None of what she had envisioned happened!

At this moment, Luo Qingyi didn't know what to say, and could only turn her head to look at Qin Yu next to her.

"Think about it yourself first; you don't need to rush to answer!"

Qin Yuchong nodded and smiled, not putting any pressure on her.

Luo Qingyi nodded gently and lowered her head to think.

Logically speaking, if Feng offered them 20% of the shares for free, she should have immediately agreed.

But she didn't believe such a good thing could exist in the world!

Sometimes, things given away for free can be more expensive than things bought with real money.

Luo Qingyi pondered silently for a moment, then raised her head. "As the saying goes, one should not accept a reward without merit, so there's no need for a free gift! However, I admire Lord Feng's boldness; perhaps we can cooperate in another way!"

"Miss Luo, please speak!"

Feng Yingxu smiled politely, but was secretly surprised.

He offered Qin Yu a 20% stake for free, and she refused?

Can she really refuse a free lunch?

Luo Qingyi smiled: "We can have a share swap!"

"How...how do we exchange them?"

Feng Yingxu was somewhat puzzled.

Luo Qingyi glanced at Qin Yu, and seeing that he didn't intend to interrupt, she said, "I'll exchange 20% of my shares in the liquor business for 50% of all the businesses in the Feng family!"

Qin Yu was startled as soon as Luo Qingyi finished speaking.

I go!

She has quite an appetite!

No wonder she was worried that her talks with Feng Yingxu would fall apart!

Feng Yingxu stared at Luo Qingyi in astonishment, then gasped.

She's not talking business at all!

This is practically robbery!

They want to exchange 20% of the shares in the Zunjiu business for 50% of all the Feng family's businesses!

This is half of his fortune!

Even if he highly values ​​the potential of this wine and desperately wants a powerful backer, he wouldn't give away half of his fortune...

Ok?

and many more!

As he was thinking, Feng Yingxu suddenly froze.

It seems like I didn't lose out at all!

My current goal isn't to see who offers more valuable shares in exchange!

I should see how much money I can make from a 20% stake in the liquor business!

Even if the cost of premium liquor is high, it can't be that high!

This wine is absolutely outrageously profitable!

As for his own businesses, if he could make a net profit of 20% after deducting all expenses, that would be considered a very high profit!

Even though the annual turnover is several million taels of silver, the actual amount of silver earned is not much.

It's possible that all the money I've earned from all my businesses is less than what I've earned from my 20% stake in Zunjiu!

In the short term, I'm definitely going to lose a fortune!

But if this business can continue and grow very large, I will definitely make money!

No, it's a huge profit!

Luo Qingyi must have thought of this, which is why she dared to offer such conditions!

If he doesn't want to suffer huge losses after getting involved, he has to help him expand Zunjiu's business!

What Luo Qingyi valued wasn't half of her own assets, but rather her connections!

Moreover, he also gained a powerful backer for free!

"Miss Luo, may I ask what the approximate cost is for one jin (500ml) of this wine?"

Although he already understood everything, Feng Yingxu still had to ask this crucial question.

Upon hearing Feng Yingxu's question, Luo Qingyi immediately smiled.

Since Feng Yingxu asked this question, it means he has already figured out the key to this deal!

It seems that there shouldn't be any major problems with this deal.

Luo Qingyi pursed her thin lips slightly, "Just assume the cost per pound is three taels of silver!"

Three ounces?

A glint of light flashed in Feng Yingxu's eyes.

Since she said that, it means the real cost must be less than three ounces!

After a quick mental calculation, Feng Yingxu readily agreed, "Since Miss Luo has said so, then we will do as Miss Luo wishes!"

"Did Lord Feng really agree?"

Luo Qingyi smiled and confirmed with him again.

Feng Yingxu chuckled and said, "Why would I, Feng, refuse such a lucrative opportunity?"

They have vision and courage!

Luo Qingyi secretly approved, then turned to Qin Yu and asked, "What does Thirteenth Young Master think?"

Although Qin Yu entrusted her with the entire responsibility for this matter, Qin Yu was the true master of their little family!

Even if it's just a symbolic gesture, we should ask Qin Yu's opinion first.

"Can!"

Qin Yu nodded and smiled, his gaze falling on Feng Yingxu. "Trust me! You won't regret your choice!"
