Gu Jinan could see through the big manager's mind at a glance.

What Xiaoyu said was indeed right. A noble man like Zheng Ying and Guan Zhuo might give up a little profit, but servants from wealthy families are the most difficult to deal with. If they are short-sighted, they will take advantage of any advantage.

Gu Jinan smiled gracefully, but the words he spoke were like a slap on the big manager's face.

He said: "Shangguan Guanshi said this, but you want the soy sauce recipe? To be honest, I don't mind giving away the soy sauce recipe, but now there is a cooperation between three companies, and the workshop is built on the Shangguan family's village. You have to know the soy sauce recipe, so what should the Zheng family do? Is it only fair that they should also know the soy sauce recipe?"

"But in this way, the soy sauce recipe that was originally known to only one family will become known to three families, and it may become 30 in the future. Then it will become a crappy thing. How can you make money?"

"The fairest way is to hold the soy sauce recipe in my family's hands, and the Zheng family can follow the official family and get the dividends."

The Shangguan Steward's expression darkened. How dare this idiot dare to expose his thoughts in public? Isn't he afraid of angering the Shangguan family?

Shangguan Ping smiled: "I dare to ask Mr. Gu, what if your family leaks the soy sauce recipe one day? We are all Shangguan family sons. They know the rules best and are loyal to protect their master. If soy sauce It is made in the Shangguan family's village. It is made by a family like ours. The soy sauce recipe will never be leaked. But Mr. Gu, what ability does your family have to ensure that the soy sauce recipe is not leaked? "

Oh, you dare to look down on a poor peasant man. He just wants to tell this poor man that a poor man should have the self-consciousness of a poor man. Don't think that you can be on an equal footing with an aristocratic family by making good things. You are not worthy. !

When Gu Jinan heard this, his smile did not diminish. He looked at Shangguan Zhuo and asked, "Brother Shangguan, is this the servant of your family who is loyal to protect the master? He really knows the rules."

After Shangguan Zhuo heard this, his face was burning, and he hurriedly scolded Shangguan Ping: "You don't understand the rules, you have no right to speak here, get out now."

After saying that, he looked at the boy next to him.

The young man Hui Wu immediately stepped forward, twisted Shangguan Ping's hand and escorted him out.

Gu Dashan was shocked when he saw it. This, this was a good business discussion, why was it that they were about to start a fight?

Gu Jinan stood up, bowed to Shangguan Zhuo, and said, "Brother Shangguan, don't blame me. I don't mean to show off to the Shangguan family, but I just don't want our three families' business to be ruined by a slave."

Shangguan Zhuo had been with Gu Jinan for some time, and he thought he understood his character and admired his ability. Hearing this, he stood up and returned the greeting: "It was my servant who was rude first. I should apologize. Brother Gu, please don't." Strange."

Gu Jinan smiled and said: "Brother Shangguan is serious. We are not only friends, but also brothers. We country people always say whatever we say to our brothers. We are destined to be friends. It's good that Brother Shangguan doesn't annoy me."

Friendship by fate?

Shangguan Zhuo was very touched when he heard this, and returned the favor to Gu Jinan: "I have learned a lesson."

Zheng Ying saw it and smiled and said, "Sit down quickly. If you continue to bow like this, I will ask you for a wedding drink."

Because of this joke, the atmosphere became better.

Zheng Ying put away her smile and said seriously: "Brother Shangguan Xian, I think Brother Gu is right. It is safest for his family to hold the soy sauce recipe... To put it bluntly, our two families had a quarrel before. It’s not appropriate to put this soy sauce workshop on anyone’s farm. My grandfather wrote in a letter and said that he only wants to use this business to improve the relationship between our two families and not to cause any further discord."

Shangguan Zhuo nodded after hearing this: "That's what my grandfather said in his letter."

It's just that the slave bullied the master, and what happened to Shangguan Ping just happened.

Shangguan Ping dared to do this because of his grandmother's influence.

Shangguanping's mother was my grandmother's dowry girl and the person she trusted the most.

But the soy sauce business is not only related to the family's income, but also related to the relationship between the Shangguan family and the Zheng family. He cannot let his servants ruin it, and his grandfather will not let his grandmother ruin a big thing.

Shangguan Zhuo nodded and said, "Brother Gu, just do as your family says."

Zheng Ying also nodded: "Yes, I agree."

Seeing that they agreed, Gu Jinan smiled again and said, "Brother Zheng is so reasonable as Brother Guan, so it's hard for my family to take too much dividends."

He deliberately pretended to think about it for a while and said: "Let's do it this way. My family will only take 30% of the soy sauce dividends, and the remaining 10% will be reserved for you two. You can use it to dredge things up or help the poor people. My family doesn’t have any objections.”

After Shangguan Zhuo and Zheng Ying heard this, they were surprised and said in admiration: "Brother Gu has such a noble and upright heart, we admire him."

Rich families often spend some money to help poor people in order to gain a good reputation, but they did not expect that the Gu family would also have such a sense of righteousness. They were really surprised.

Gu Jinan smiled and said: "It's just a trivial matter. My family has also been through hardships. I know that life is not easy for poor people."

He also reminded Zheng Ying and Guan Zhuo: "However, if the Zheng family and the Guan family want to donate 10% of the dividend to the national treasury, it is better to be cautious."

Gu Jinan stopped talking and didn't say anything to bring trouble.

Zheng Ying and Guan Zhuo understood, and said gratefully: "We have taken note of what Brother Gu said."

Today's imperial court is very, very poor, and the treasury has no money at all. The emperor is thinking of ways to make money, so he has issued a death order to Dali Temple. The water bandit case must be solved before the year, so that Ruyang Marquis can copy it. The family of the government will fill the treasury and have a good year.

For the sake of money, the Emperor of Dachu dealt with the water bandit case strictly, and all the noble families involved in the case were confiscated and exiled.

Anyway, I just want money.

At this time, if the two families foolishly donated 10% of their dividends to the treasury, the emperor would definitely bite off half of their meat like a tiger smelling fishy smell.

Gu Jinan said: "I will write the contract right now. After signing, we will have a good meal."

He took out a pen and paper, wrote three contracts in public, and handed them to Shangguan Zhuo and Zheng Ying.

After seeing it, the two said: "No problem, we will sign the contract right away."

He also praised: "Brother Gu has a strong character. He has made a lot of progress recently. Will he take the scientific examination next year?"

Gu Jinan shook his head: "I have never been to a private school before. Now I think my knowledge is good, but not solid enough. I want to study hard for a few years and then take the exam."

Zheng Ying heard this and said: "Brother Gu is a solid person. It would be good to study hard for a few years."

Not long after, Zheng Ying and Guan Zhuo signed and stamped the private seals of each family.

Gu Jinan put the contract away and said, "I'll take it and have my sister sign it and have her fingerprints printed."

Although he was the one negotiating the business, the soy sauce was made by Xiaoyu, so it was still written in Xiaoyu's name.

After Zheng Ying followed Guan Zhuo, he nodded and said, "Brother Gu, please do."

The two of them were not surprised that Gu Jin'an's sister was next door, because Gu Jin'an told them that his sister learned soy sauce from an old lady who was running away from home, and they had no intention of meeting the real owner. This is so rude. No one from an aristocratic family can do it. Anyone who can ask to see other girls is a gangster!
