This person is too strong but insists on eating the empress' soft rice

Chapter 205 Negotiation
In fact, this is already Cai Yongxin's regress in the dark.

Because in the past, Cai Yongxin even thought about letting the paper contract between the royal family and the Thousand Islands continue to be fulfilled.

But if the royal family wanted to sell paper to the Thousand Islands, they had to buy it from their Cai family.

When the time comes, if he raises the price of paper again, Huang will definitely lose his blood.

However, after experiencing the execution some time ago, Cai Yongxin knew that he could not be too arrogant.

After all, he was also afraid of being beheaded by Luo Hongyan in a rage.

At this time, Ye Chen looked at Cai Yongxin who was sitting there with a smile.

He could feel that Cai Yongxin's request was already a compromise.

But in Ye Chen's view, the other party's request is still extremely greedy.

However, Ye Chen also knew that Luo Hongyan might feel a little embarrassed when facing the golden token issued by the royal ancestor.

So Ye Chen said directly: "Your Majesty, although I contributed the papermaking technology to the royal family for free, I did not give it directly to the royal family."

"In other words, papermaking is my personal property, and it is not suitable for the royal family to transfer it on my behalf."

What he said seemed to be putting pressure on Luo Hongyan.

But everyone present knew very well that Ye Chen was deliberately targeting Cai Yongxin.

After all, Cai Yongxin has the golden token of the royal family in his hand, and he can ask the royal family to agree to some of his requests.

But as long as Ye Chen killed him and he didn't donate the papermaking skills to the royal family, then Luo Hongyan is not eligible to distribute his papermaking skills.

In this way, Cai Yongxin will not be able to forcibly obtain papermaking technology from Luo Hongyan.

So after hearing Ye Chen's words, Luo Hongyan was not only not angry at all, but felt her eyes light up.

"What the Empress said is reasonable, but I was negligent before. Since the papermaking technology was provided to the royal family by the Empress, I am naturally not qualified to transfer it to my ministers privately."

After Luo Hongyan finished speaking, Cai Yongxin's face suddenly became ugly.

And Luo Hongyan continued: "If Patriarch Cai doesn't mind, I can promise to give you two paper mills."

But Cai Yongxin's mood did not improve at all.

Because he is very aware of the current situation, if he can't get the royal family's new papermaking technology, then no matter how many papermaking workshops he owns, he can only lose money.

Next, Luo Hongyan said apologetically to Cai Yongxin: "Why don't Patriarch Cai make some other requests?"

At this time, Ye Chen could also feel that Cai Yongxin had gradually fallen into despair.

So he took a step forward and said: "Patriarch Cai, you can still consider the suggestion I gave you before."

Ye Chen had promised Cai Yongxin before that he could give their family half of the paper for sale.

From the profits of these sales, the Cai family can extract a certain percentage.

But at that time, this proposal was directly rejected by Cai Yongxin.

Because at that time, he was still thinking of forcing Ye Chen to agree to his more greedy demands.

But now his proposal was directly rejected by Ye Chen's words.

Papermaking belongs to Ye Chen's concept, which can completely prevent Cai Yongxin from using the death-free gold medal to blackmail Luo Hongyan.

Although Cai Yongxin was very reluctant at this time, he had to admit that the Cai family seemed to have no better way to go.

But Cai Yongxin didn't want to give up yet, and wanted to fight for more benefits.

So he said to Ye Chen: "Our Cai family can help the royal family sell paper, but we need to take half of all the profits."

Cai Yongxin is really unwilling, and only gets a little bit of profit from the sale of paper.

That's why he tried to make his request to Ye Chen.

But just after he made this request, Ye Chen didn't think about it at all, and said directly: "Your Majesty, since we can't agree on this matter with Patriarch Cai, I will no longer authorize this papermaking technique to the royal family. I can open a few paper mills by myself and sell paper."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Cai Yongxin's face suddenly turned blue.

Cai Yongxin never expected that Ye Chen would reject him without any hesitation.

"Empress, you!" He almost couldn't catch his breath.

Cai Yongxin knew very well that if Ye Chen really did that, then the way of their Cai family would be considered to have come to an end.

At this time, Ye Chen said again: "I made a concession for the sake of your ancestors. You can take [-]% of the total profit of all paper sales at home. If Patriarch Cai disagrees, Then there's no need to talk about it."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he directly shook his sleeves.

At this time, Cai Yongxin felt very uncomfortable inside.

Because the condition he proposed was [-]% of the total profit. In the end, Ye Chen was only willing to give them [-]%.

Although this little profit is enough to keep the Cai family going, life is destined to be a bit cramped.

After all, the entire Cai family supported many workers, and their food and clothing cost a lot of money on weekdays.

Seeing that Cai Yongxin was still hesitating, Luo Hongyan also said from the side: "Master Cai, how about you make another request? If possible, I would really agree to it, just like absolving some of the Cai family's previous sins. .”

After Luo Hongyan finished speaking, Cai Yongxin's face changed slightly.

As a human being, he can naturally hear the meaning in Luo Hongyan's words, which is nothing more than wanting to beat their Cai family.

And if he disagreed with Ye Chen's proposal, Luo Hongyan would send someone directly to investigate the business situation of their Cai family.

The fate of the Tao family at that time was still vivid in our minds.

In the process of running a big family like theirs, it is inevitable that there will be some disgraceful methods.

If Luo Hongyan really made up her mind to conduct a thorough investigation of their Cai family, many problems would definitely be discovered.

At this time, Cai Yongxin knew very well that he had no other way to go.

So he said with a bitter face: "Emperor, Your Majesty's [-]% commission is acceptable for us to participate. Please forgive me and stop worrying about the previous mess."

Cai Yongxin had already taken on a pleading look at this time.

After successive blows, he no longer had the slightest bit of arrogance before.

Seeing this, Luo Hongyan nodded in satisfaction: "Patriarch Cai understands the righteousness, so I will naturally not hold on to the previous matter."
