"Five pottery bowls or dishes, one pottery pot for one cent, and one wide-mouthed amphorae for two cents. From now on, the products produced by your pottery kiln can only be sold by me alone, and cannot be entrusted to others."

When talking about business, Shopkeeper Hao seemed to have changed. He was as unquestionable as a general in a handsome tent issuing military orders. His expression was fierce, his eyes were like swords, his whole person was sharp and his aura was very scary.

No matter how scary he is, he can't scare Gu Qing. The tricks Shopkeeper Hao negotiated are all leftover from Gu Qing's previous life. Besides, how scary can a fat man as fat as a ball be?

"Come on, come on, Shopkeeper Hao. Thank you for your hard work today. I saw it's time for dinner. I won't delay your meal. Go home quickly." Gu Qing forced Shopkeeper Hao up from the futon and saw off the guests warmly.

Shopkeeper Hao's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and said: "It's easy to discuss, it's easy to discuss. When negotiating a business, you always have to negotiate. If you are not satisfied with the price I offer, we can continue to talk."

"No, no, no, let's not talk anymore. My goods are unique in the entire Tang Dynasty. I don't have to worry about no one coming to buy them. If you bully my youth and take advantage of me, we won't be able to talk anymore. Let's go, let's go, no.

Would you like to send it away?" Gu Qing said as he pushed Shopkeeper Hao out.

The good thing about the fat man is that the chassis is extremely stable. Gu Qing pushed it for a long time, but shopkeeper Hao didn't move at all, just laughing and saying nice things.

Gu Qing had no choice but to give up seeing off the guests, looked down at his arms and legs, and secretly made up his mind that in addition to eating meat every meal, he would also insist on exercising. The body is more important than making money. After working hard, he will do this in the future.

When the big fat man is as big as a meat ball, he can take advantage of it as easily as a dung beetle pushing a ball of dung, so he won't be as embarrassed as he is now.

"We can talk, we can talk. Young Master, I was wrong just now, and I apologize to you. You know that I am a businessman, and what I do is bargaining. If you are not satisfied, you can bargain. There is no need to just disagree.

Let's see the guests off." Shopkeeper Hao said with a bitter smile.

Gu Qing returned to the futon and knelt down and said: "I have never done business, so I am not interested in fighting with you for two pennies. I will make a price. If you agree, we can cooperate in the future. If you don't

Promise, business cannot be done without righteousness, I will see off my guests with courtesy and thoughtfulness, and you should not hold any grudges, how about that?"

Shopkeeper Hao's face looked a little ugly. Gu Qing's words seemed safe. In fact, he had completely taken the initiative in the negotiation. Whether to negotiate or not, and what price to negotiate, Gu Qing had the final say and attitude.

It is very strong and does not tolerate any opposition.

However, the pottery produced by Gu Qing's pottery kiln is indeed the only one in the entire Tang Dynasty. With Shopkeeper Hao's broad knowledge, he has never seen pottery with such a compact embryo and such a strong and durable texture, so Shopkeeper Hao's ambitions are not

Not just selling pottery, the real money-maker in the Tang Dynasty was porcelain. As long as he could find the right porcelain clay, Gu Qing would be able to make good porcelain, right? That would be really great.

Gu Qing's pottery kiln is very important to Shopkeeper Hao. Shopkeeper Hao wants to do a big business, so the price of one or two cents in front of him can only be compromised, and you can't argue with him.

Taking out a handkerchief and wiping his sweat, Shopkeeper Hao smiled and said, "Young Master, please tell me."

Gu Qing thought for a while and said: "I don't want to argue with you for pennies and pennies. It's too much talk. Let's do this. Let's cooperate in the form of a share. I'll give you the pottery without your money. How can you sell it outside?

I don't care, but I want to inquire about the price, and I will often go to Qingcheng County to inquire. After deducting your and my costs, I want 70% of your total profit, and you take 30%. How about it?"

Shopkeeper Hao was stunned for a moment, then trembled all over, with waves of flesh on his body. He said angrily: "You take 70%? Are you crazy? I worked so hard, bowed and laughed at others, and wasted a lot of money.

After countless words and thoughts, I only get 30%? And you just light a fire and burn a kiln and you get 70% for nothing, why?"

Gu Qing was not in a hurry, he slowly took out a pottery bowl, flicked the rim of the bowl with his fingers, and said: "I just lit a fire and burned it in a kiln? For pottery with such texture, can you burn it in a kiln and show it to me? Can you do it?"

?”

Shopkeeper Hao suddenly deflated like a ball pricked by a needle, and sighed dejectedly: "I can't do it, otherwise why would I come to you?"

Gu Qing added: "I can make pottery that is unique in the Tang Dynasty, and you are just selling these high-quality pottery. This part of me is irreplaceable, and you, don't blame me for speaking upright, you are

If it is replaceable, any businessman can replace you. So, you take 30%."

Shopkeeper Hao continued to wipe his sweat. He was really upright and felt hurt...

"Thirty, thirty percent...it's really a little less." Shopkeeper Hao said with an ugly expression.

"If you really think it's too little, you should leave now. Since you haven't left, it means that even only 30% can bring you huge benefits. Shopkeeper Hao, my pottery kiln only burns pottery at the moment, because I haven't found the porcelain clay yet.

With Shopkeeper Hao's ability, it must not be difficult to find porcelain clay. If I have porcelain clay, I can also make porcelain. The profit of porcelain is much higher than that of pottery. This must be what you have in mind, right?" Gu Qing looked into his eyes and smiled.

.

Shopkeeper Hao finally gave in. He spread the deflated baby on the futon and said with a wry smile: "Young Master is so eloquent and smart. I'm convinced. Three percent means thirty percent, but there is one condition that is non-negotiable."

, your pottery and the porcelain fired in the future can only be sold by my family, Shu Longchang, and you cannot find a second one. I will never compromise on this point."

Gu Qing gave him a middle finger: "One year, let's sign a contract for one year. During this year, I will only recognize your family. By the way, I want to see if you are doing things properly and if you have done anything irregular."

We will end our cooperation immediately, and this must be written into the contract. If our cooperation is satisfactory during this year, we can renew the contract."

Shopkeeper Hao sighed: "You were born to do business. I have never seen a young man as sophisticated and ruthless as you. If you were a merchant, you would be richest in the world before you were thirty years old."

Gu Qing pouted.

What’s the point of being rich in the world? As long as you have enough money, no matter how much money you make, you still eat the same amount of meat every day, and the bed you sleep on every day is only that big. On the contrary, you have to worry more and bear more burdens than ordinary people.

A lot of pressure and responsibilities. These pressures and responsibilities will definitely affect your mood and appetite when eating meat. If you think about it carefully, it is not cost-effective.

The matter was briefly discussed, and the remaining details of the cooperation were left to be discussed later. The purpose of the trip was achieved, and the hard work that Shopkeeper Hao had to do today was worth it.

So the two chatted for some time. When it was time to eat, Shopkeeper Hao saw Gu Qing kneeling on the futon and not moving at all. It seemed that he had no intention of leaving him to eat. Shopkeeper Hao couldn't help but sigh in disappointment and stood up to leave.

Before leaving, Gu Qing suddenly grabbed his sleeve, and Shopkeeper Hao looked at him inexplicably.

"Shopkeeper Hao, although you and I are new acquaintances today, I feel like old friends at first sight. I wonder if Shopkeeper Hao's heart is the same as mine?"

Shopkeeper Hao was stunned and said with an embarrassed expression: "Ah, ah! Same, I also fell in love with the young man at first sight. I wish I had known each other earlier."

"So, are we friends?"

"Of course we are friends."
