Chapter 56
In the living room of the Hong family, Hong Ping led the way for the three of Liu Mingzhi.

Hong Ping said politely: "Young Master Liu is a distinguished guest from afar, so naturally my Hong family will not be neglected. Master Liu, please take your seat."

Liu Mingzhi naturally sat on one of the two main seats on the side, without the slightest embarrassment: "It seems that the younger generation has misunderstood before, since the Hong family can become one of the most famous lords in Yangzhou, the hospitality is really thoughtful. , Family Master Hong has an invitation, the younger generation will not refuse."

Hong Feng frowned. Even if Liu Mingzhi was the eldest son of the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, theoretically, he should not steal his position if he came to the door, and the strong dragon would not overwhelm the snake. What kind of confidence did Liu Mingzhi rely on to dare to ignore the rules.

Hong Ping's face also twitched, thinking that Liu Mingzhi really doesn't consider himself an outsider.

"Serve tea."

The servants served tea to several people present in turn.

"Longjing before the good rain, Mr. Liu will try it. This is the tea that the old man has treasured for a long time."

Liu Mingzhi took a sip of the tea, and it really was a good tea. It was clear and sweet, with a fragrant mouth and teeth. It was a rare tea, and it could be called a treasure.

After chewing the tea leaves in his mouth, Liu Mingzhi put down the teacup.

Hong Ping looked at Liu Mingzhi and said, "How is it, Mr. Liu's tea is delicious?"

Liu Mingzhi smiled and shook his head: "It's a small family, it always looks like a small family, this tea can barely make a living, it's still a little worse than the Jinshan Yunwu my family drinks, but with the Hong family's family business It's not bad to drink Longjing before the rain."

Hong Ping was stunned for a moment, and his expression was a little unpleasant. The Liu family is really showing the status of the Liu family all the time, but it is too exaggerated.

Jiangnan Liu and Northwest Yun are one of the two major families of the Dragon Dynasty, but this Jinshan Yunwu is a tribute tea in the palace, and the annual output is only more than 90 taels. It is heavenly that Liu Zhian can get four or five taels. A big good thing, give it to the servants to drink?I'm not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue.

Ma Biao also twitched at the corners of his mouth, thinking that this young master really dares to blow.Ma Biao has only drank tea such as Jinshan Yunwu a few times in his life, and the Liu family's servants have no such blessing.

Qi Yun also looked around, not looking at Liu Mingzhi, who had a confident face. Of course, she had heard of Jinshan Yunwu tea, even her father Jinling Governor Li Yugang was just lucky enough to have a drink at Huainan King Li Yugang. It is even more unseen. Even if the Liu family is the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, they are not rich enough.

It's not that Liu Zhi'an can't afford this kind of tea, but that there is money and no place to buy it, and there is no market for it.

But this time they really wronged Liu Mingzhi. Liu Mingzhi said that not all servants drink Jinshan Yunwu.He was talking about Ying'er. There were still three taels of golden mountains and clouds in Liu Mingzhi's study. Ying'er always drank so many cups of tea every time he made tea for Liu Mingzhi.

"Let's not talk about tea, the Hong family head must know the reason why the younger generation came to the door, and the younger generation does not want to hide it, so he is blunt."

Hong Ping frowned: "How does Young Master Liu want to solve this matter? This old man is all ears to listen to Young Master Liu's high opinion?"

"The Liu family has recognized the loss this year, and I am willing to donate [-] taels of silver. I hope that the Hong family master can open up and stop meddling with the Liu family's horse farm. How about it?"

Hong Feng smiled lightly: "Ten thousand taels of silver? Young Master Liu, as the eldest son of the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, is really a big hand. I really think my Hong family has never seen this amount of money."

Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and said: "Mr. Hong, don't talk too much. I have already calculated it on the way. Although your Hong family claimed that although you did not make a lot of money by selling Huma this time, you did not lose money, but I If you don't believe me, I dare to guarantee the ownership of the Liu family's racecourse, and your Hong family's loss this time will never be less than 5000 taels of silver."

Ma Biao was in a hurry: "Master, you can't"

"Uncle Ma, don't worry."

The Hong Ping father and son looked at each other. The Hong Mansion's bill had just been calculated. How could Liu Mingzhi dare to say these words with such eloquence?

Hong Ping calmed down and said, "Young Master Liu, I'm afraid he has heard some rumors. Although Huma's business didn't make a lot of money this time, it definitely didn't make a loss. Master Liu should not believe those rumors."

Liu Mingzhi raised his brows: "Oh? Really? This junior is willing to take the Liu family racecourse as a bet on how much the Hong family lost this time. If it is less than 5000 taels, he is willing to hand over the title deed to the racecourse with both hands. Is the head of the Hong family willing to go to the ledger to confront him for a while?" Fan?"

"The horse farm business is the top priority of the Liu family. This bet is worth it. Otherwise, the old man will inevitably fall into the reputation of bullying the younger generation. Presumably Liu Yuanwai will not agree with Liu Gongzi, you are doing such a foolish thing."

"Hey, Patriarch Hong, I guessed wrong. My father has given full authority to the younger generation to handle the affairs of the racecourse. The younger generation can make the decision, as long as Patriarch Hong agrees."

Hong Feng suddenly said: "Brother Liu is estimated to be disappointed. The account book was taken by my brother to check the account. I'm afraid I won't be able to see it for a while."

"Tsk tsk, that's such a pity."

"makes sense."

"I hurt my Liu family by a thousand, and lost [-] in the Hong family. I think my father and Hong family do not want to see such a situation. Does the Hong family have no other solution?"

"Young Master Liu is joking, my Hong family never thought of being an enemy of the Liu family, the old man of Jiangnan Liu's reputation still knows it, but if your Liu family wants to eat meat, let us small families have some soup. Dominating the horse business in Yangzhou, the old man is worried that Liu Yuanwai will break his stomach."

"Then what about the Hong family's idea?"

"My Hong family is willing to invest 20 taels of silver and share [-]% of the benefits from the Liu family horse farm every year. What does Mr. Liu think?"

"20 taels? 10% of the profit? The annual profit of the Liu family racecourse is more than 20 taels. If you pay [-] taels of silver, the Liu family will earn back in a year or two. Why should my Liu family give away [-]% of the profit for nothing? Woolen cloth?"

"Liu Gongzi, the account is not calculated like this. My Hong family's family and friends can help double the size of the Liu family's horse farm. At that time, more BMWs will be sold in a year, and more money will be earned. , What does Young Master Liu think?"

"Haha. When Patriarch Hong said this, he said that my Liu family's connections are not as good as your Yangzhou Hong family? Believe it or not, as long as Jiangnan Liu Fang wants to cooperate, many juniors dare not say it. Dozens of people like your Hong There are still gentry like family, and your bargaining chip is not big enough."

"50 taels of silver, [-]% of the profit of the Liu family racecourse, this is my best effort."

"50 taels of silver, I can go home and discuss it with the old man."

"Grandpa? Say something disrespectful. Isn't Mrs. Liu old? How should Mr. Liu discuss with Mrs. Liu?"

"Oh? It turns out that the old man has passed away. You can see that I am confused. Since the old man has passed away, there is no need to discuss it."

Not negotiable?

Hong Ping's face turned red, it turned out that Liu Mingzhi was playing tricks on himself.

"Young Master Liu, think about it clearly. My Hong family can get [-] horses this year, and it can also get [-] horses next year, or even more. It won't look good if you lose both."
