The method Li Hao said is actually very simple. It is nothing more than taking advantage of the situation. Originally, Li Hao had planned to find someone to cooperate with him in doing business. His original plan was to drag his senior brother with him. After all, the Yan family is a family of officials, and there are already many people in the family.

Industry, cooperation uses the manpower and material resources of the senior brother's family to promote it, and then distribute the profits. This is a win-win situation.

It's a pity that the eldest brother is not the eldest son in the family. There is an eldest brother above him, who is now studying at Yingtian Academy. The business and shop in the family are still controlled by the eldest son of the family, and the eldest brother actually has nothing to say. If we cooperate in this way, if things change, the eldest brother will

Since he couldn't make the decision, Li Hao stopped thinking.

However, what the Cheng family said today did give them a chance. If they could suppress the ambitions of the Cheng family, the Cheng family would be a better choice. But to suppress the ambitions of the Cheng family and make the An family afraid to take action, the key lies in the senior brother.

Borrow the strength of the Yan family to suppress the Cheng family, and then use the Cheng family's manpower and material resources to develop. As long as they are willing to give up profits, they will only make more money in the future.

After the class was over, Li Hao asked Li Jian to rest outside, and went in alone to talk to Yan Fu, telling him everything he had encountered at home, and asking Yan Fu for help.

After hearing this, Yan Fu said: "In this case, I will definitely seek justice for you and punish Anjia well. He, the magistrate of Hongzhou, cannot control Yangzhou affairs. As for Ouyang Zhizhou, who is an upright man, Mr. Yongshu must let Mr. Yongshu deal with this matter."

I know they are probably the ones who are unlucky."

After hearing this, Li Hao said: "Actually, my idea is that there is no need to go to war for the time being. After all, someone in the An family will be an official. If we want to go to war, we will have to work for my uncle. Moreover, the autumn exam is very close now, so I can't let my senior brother work too hard for this."

So my idea is to invite the two families to come over openly, and then my senior brother will tell me face to face about buying a stake in my soap business, and the two families will naturally have nothing to say. As for how to deal with Anjia later, I am not in a hurry, anyway.

There will be a lot of time in the future. Since you are a businessman and a businessman, there will naturally be many mistakes and omissions. If you really want to address them, there will always be a way."

After hearing this, Yan Fu thought for a while and said, "That's okay, but it's not necessary to give me a share. It's our duty to help you, my fellow apprentices, so how can I get my hands on your family's money."

After hearing this, Li Hao said: "You can't say that. If the senior brother is the only one to contribute, then there is no problem. But after all, it is the Yan family's momentum that is borrowed. This contribution can give the senior brother an explanation at home. And even if this is

After calling back two families at a time, no one can say whether anyone will think about it in the future. The junior brother is still young after all, and it will take many years before he wants to take the imperial examination. In these years, he will need to rely on the power of the senior brother's family, so he can only sit down and take matters into his own hands.

Only by being practical can we really block the ambitions of outsiders, so senior brother should agree."

Yan Fu thought for a while and said, "Okay, when will this be done?"

`Li Hao estimated that this matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later, and said: "I will first go to Mr. Bing to explain the reason for leave, and the senior brother will prepare a greeting card and invite them to come to Yangzhou City tomorrow to settle the matter."

"Okay, I'll let someone do it right now," Yan Fu said.

Li Hao and Yan Fu went in together to ask for leave from Master Qin. Li Hao explained the reason and said that he would borrow the identity of the senior brother, explaining that he needed the senior brother to be present and asked for leave together for one day.

After hearing this, Master Qin said: "Since my junior brother has something to do, it is only right for him to help."

Then he said: "Then you go and do your work. We only have one day tomorrow, and you will come back when you are done."

The two of them saluted and nodded to leave. After coming out, Yan Fu went to prepare a greeting card for Cheng Dong to send to the Cheng and An families.

Li Hao went to Li Jian and told these things. He said, "Don't worry, father. With my senior brother here, the Cheng and An families will not do anything too outrageous. But you and your mother can come together tomorrow."

, let’s finalize the matter. In addition, you and your mother can move to the city afterwards. We can still see each other from time to time, and we can also prevent what happens to Anjia. Although it is unlikely, there is no need to take risks after all.

no."

Li Jian said: "Okay, I got it. I'll ask your mother for her opinion when I get back. I'm going to leave early. If I tell your mother the matter early, your mother can feel relieved." Then he quickly got up and set off.

When they got home, Mrs. Wei felt relieved when she heard what Li Jian had said. She said, "It was really the right thing to ask Haoer to go to the academy. I will have to thank his senior brother in the future."

Li Jian also said a few words of comfort to Mrs. Wei, but when they felt relieved, they were tired, so they rested early. The next day, Li Jian and his wife also got up early and rode a carriage to Yangzhou City.

This time I didn't see anyone staring.

On the other hand, the Cheng and An families also set off for the city today after receiving the invitation yesterday. When they arrived, the senior brother's residence was in Yangzhou City. Li Hao first received his parents outside.

Then they sat together in the main hall and waited for Cheng and An's family to arrive. After a while, the two of them came in as a group and sat down in the main hall.

Then I heard Yan Fu say: "I heard that you want to buy my junior brother's formula, so I specially invited you two here to tell you something. My Yan family also has a stake in this soap business, so I want to talk to you today.

The two of you should make it clear that you are afraid that if there is a misunderstanding in the future, it will not be good. After all, my Yan family has been a member of the noble family for many years, and I don't want to get into trouble with others over some business matters and be embarrassed for nothing.

, do you think so?"

After hearing this, Cheng Shi spoke first: "Of course, since the transshipment envoy wants to do this business, and it is cooperation between the brothers and sisters, there is no reason for me to interfere. I just didn't know it at first, and I will definitely not mention it again in the future.

thing."

After hearing this, the head of the An family had no choice but to say: "Yes, since we have the protection of the transshipment envoy, we ordinary people do not dare to fight. I don't know if there is anything else to say. If not, please allow me to leave first."

Then when no one responded, he stood up and turned around to leave. As he left, he cast a dark look at Li Jian and his son.

At this time, Cheng Shi saw the An family leaving, so he also planned to get up and say goodbye, but was left behind by Li Hao.

Li Hao said: "Master Cheng, don't leave in a hurry. We can still talk about the soap cooperation."

Cheng Shi was startled and said: "Don't be joking. Now that we have cooperated with the pacifier, how dare I dare to think so."

Li Hao said: "I sincerely want to cooperate with the Cheng family. After all, there are specialties in the art industry. Naturally, the Cheng family is more powerful in doing business alone, so I want to cooperate with the three companies."

After hearing this, Cheng Shi asked curiously: "I wonder what kind of cooperation method it is."

Li Hao said: "It's very simple. Just follow what you originally told my father. You will arrange the production and sales. We will come up with the formula and we will make money together."

Cheng Shi heard this and said doubtfully: "You are willing to share the recipe."

Li Hao smiled and said: "I don't want to do that. In fact, I believe that both you and An Jia must have asked my servants. There are only two potions that are most important for making soap, so you can

Configure the other ones first, and then my father will bring the potion and mix it as much as it needs to be used. And this is also responsible for the three families. After all, if the secret recipe can be kept secret, we can make more money, right?"

Then without waiting for Cheng Shi to reply, he continued: "As for the distribution ratio, according to my senior brother's 20%, my family will provide 35% of the formula and potion content, and your family will be responsible for production and sales and 45%. Of course, our side

Someone will be arranged to supervise the accounts then, and I think the head of the Cheng family will definitely agree. After all, this is for the good of the three families. What do you think?"

Cheng Shi thought for a while and said, "If we cooperate like this, I'm afraid the An family will think that I caused some trouble, and they will come to my family with a grudge."

Li Hao listened and said with a smile: "Master Cheng, you have been doing business for so many years. As long as you can make money, are you still afraid of the An family's grudge? If so, forget it. We will find someone else to cooperate. We will do business in Yangzhou City."

There is always no shortage of Jia’s.”

Cheng Shi said: "That's no need. The Cheng family will take over this business."

Li Hao said: "Okay, let's sign the contract." Then Yan Fu asked someone to call the scribe who came over and sign the document in person.
