Chapter 151
The emperor's guarantee?This face is a bit big.

But Huo Qiqi was feeling sad in his heart, if the emperor didn't care about the printing technology, this guy probably wouldn't be willing to be the guarantor.

"Hehe, since I need colored paper, and the colored paper belongs to the Sixth Prince, it's better for the Sixth Prince to put forward conditions. As long as the conditions are not excessive, I won't have any problems." Huo Qiqi expressed his attitude with a smile.

Li Yuanbai glanced at her indifferently, his brows were furrowed, his expression was serious, as if he was very dissatisfied with her behavior of flattering her everywhere.

Huo Qiqi saw the look of contempt in his eyes, but she deliberately pretended not to see it.

If she stood on a high place, she would be a fool to bow her head and be a human being.

"I provide colored paper, but I will take [-]% of Huo Qiqi's items that use colored paper." Li Yuanbai's voice was unhurried, "Huo Qiqi is a member of the Ministry of Industry, although she does not have to report to the Ministry of Industry , but if the Ministry of Industry is in trouble, she will be there at any time. Third, Huo Qiqi owes me a favor, if one day, I need her to help, she must repay this favor."

After listening to the request, Duke Protector's eyes immediately widened. What a boy, it's impossible to treat him as an old man, yet he dared to bully Qiqi in front of him. Even if Li Yuanbai was the prince, this matter would not work. He was the first one to refuse people.

The emperor also felt that Li Yuanbai was a little too much, why did he mention so many conditions as soon as he opened his mouth.

Not to mention that the Huguogong was willing to provide the court with a method to reduce the profit of books. Even if there is no printing technology, Li Yuanbai proposed three things in one breath, and it is estimated that the Huguogong would not agree.

However, the emperor explained in advance that he was just a guarantor, and would not get involved in the matter, nor would he favor anyone.So he continued to remain silent.

Of course, Huo Qiqi would not agree to Li Yuanbai's conditions. Li Yuanbai's conditions sounded simple, but they were digging a hole for her.

"I don't agree." Since it's a negotiation, then Huo Qiqi has the qualifications to bargain, "First of all, I will not agree to the [-]% profit proposed by the sixth prince. The maximum profit is [-]%, which is [-]%. To be honest, I still gave it for the emperor's sake. Second, I don't report to the Ministry of Industry, which is the emperor's own permission. If the sixth prince raises it again, it will be difficult for others. Of course, since the sixth prince proposed it, I You can give the Sixth Prince a face. If the Ministry of Industry really needs me, I can only work once. As for the third item, since I promise to give the Sixth Prince profits, then I don’t owe the Sixth Prince any favors at all. Goods and money paid off.”

Li Yuanbai had expected that Huo Qiqi would not agree to his conditions. He had gotten along with Huo Qiqi before, and knew that Huo Qiqi was difficult and smart.

Yes, he wanted to dig a hole for Huo Qiqi, but it was a pity that Huo Qiqi saw it through.However, he would not agree to the conditions proposed by Huo Qiqi.

[-]% profit is too little!Even though he is not a businessman, but in terms of business, Huo Qiqi asked him first, so he can naturally raise the conditions a bit.

"Twenty percent cannot be less."

"[-]%, up to [-]%, more than [-]% is out of the question." Huo Qiqi retorted.

The two people were fighting with red faces, and their eyes were fixed on each other, showing a posture of never giving in.

Seeing that they were arguing fiercely, the emperor and the protector looked dumbfounded as they sat on the sidelines.The two of them simply kept silent, and let Huo Qiqi and Li Yuanbai continue to quarrel, and the two also had a rivalry in their hearts. They both firmly believed that their children and grandchildren would win.

"Less than [-]% is negotiable."

"Then there's nothing to talk about."

Li Yuanbai and Huo Qiqi quarreled to the end, and neither was willing to let the other go.

"If you quarrel like this, there will be no result in the end. Why don't both sides give in?" Finally, the emperor finally couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but persuade him.

The old man was even more irritating. He coaxed Huo Qiqi in a nice voice, "Qiqi, we're not angry. If you like his conditions, you can agree to them, and if you don't, we can leave. It's not that he has to, we don't need colorful paper , I switched to big red paper, the red paper looks so festive."

That's right, Huo Qiqi immediately gave the old man a look of approval.

When the old man received it, his brows and eyes were filled with smiles.

emperor……

Just say that this old guy is unreliable, he is not trying to persuade, he is clearly adding fuel to the fire.

"The Sixth Prince provides colored paper and gets [-]% profit. If the Ministry of Industry needs it, I can only run errands once." Huo Qiqi emphasized again.

"You owe me a favor. If you need it, you must help me once. It doesn't involve medical skills or money." Li Yuanbai also backed down a step.

"Don't endanger my life, I'm afraid of death." Huo Qiqi was too straightforward.

It was so straightforward that the emperor couldn't help but sigh.

"make a deal."

"make a deal."

This time, neither of them disagreed.

So, under the witness of the emperor and Duke Hu Guo, Huo Qiqi and Li Yuanbai reached an agreement temporarily.

"Qiqi, did we suffer a lot?" On the way back, Duke Hu was still muttering.

"No loss." Huo Qiqi replied with a smile, "He provides colored paper for free and charges [-]% interest. It can be said that the price is quite reasonable. At least, even if anyone wants to imitate our products in the future, there will be no Appropriate packaging. Of course, Li Yuanbai is not at a loss. After all, he occupies the printing area, and the emperor promised that for anything that involves taboos, he will only find the original author and not blame him. Therefore, some On the one hand, he is the winner. As for the matter of the Ministry of Industry and human relations, if I think it is too much, I can completely fool it. Anyway, so many things that many people can't solve, I may not be able to solve it."

The Protector nodded straightly, "It's because we are all smart."

After the grandparent and grandson finished speaking their intimate words, they both laughed foolishly.

Back at the mansion, Wang Shaojie was running around in a hurry. When he saw Huo Qiqi coming back, he grabbed Huo Qiqi and chased after him to ask the result.

"It's done." Huo Qiqi replied with a smile, "I just owe Li Yuanbai two favors. Wang Shaojie, let me tell you, you have to suffer with me when the time comes, otherwise I won't obey."

"Okay, I will suffer together with you, we are brothers." Wang Shaojie replied with a smile.

"Sure enough, brother." Huo Qiqi patted him.

A few days later, Huo Yi'an handed over the method of movable type printing to Li Yuanbai in his own name.

"Wonderful, wonderful method." The third prince couldn't help being overwhelmed when he saw movable type printing.

"It's really wonderful. With this method of printing, the cost will be reduced by more than half." Li Yuanbai also sighed. "It's just a pity for a talent like Huo Qiqi."

"You mean that Huo Qiqi came up with movable type printing?" the third prince asked in surprise.

"Huo Yi'an didn't come up with this method sooner or later, but he took it out when Huo Qiqi wanted something from me, what do you think?" Li Yuanbai replied flatly.
