The waste prince is so fierce

Li Pohuang looked at the brightly lit Zuixianlou and said worriedly, "Master, should we tell Madam first that we are coming to a place like this?"

Li Quan smiled and said, "What's there to say? I'm here to discuss business, not to play. You, kid, have a lot on your mind." As he said that, he gently patted Li Pohuang's head.

Li Pohuang said quickly, "Master, let's make a deal. You told me not to tell Madam. If Madam asks, you have to testify for me."

Li Quan agreed with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll testify for you. It's almost time, let's go in."

The two of them didn't waste any more time at the door and went straight into Zuixianlou.

As soon as I stepped into Zuixianlou, an old brothel owner in bright red clothes came up to me with a smile on her face.

"Are you the distinguished guest that Mr. He is waiting for? Mr. He is already waiting for you in the private room upstairs. I will take you upstairs right away."

She looked at Li Quan and thought he had an extraordinary bearing and was well-dressed, so she smiled even more brightly.

"Okay, please lead the way." Li Quan said.

"Okay, sir, please follow me!" After the old procuress said this, she took Li Quan upstairs.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Tianzi Pavilion on the second floor. The madam pushed open the door, and Li Quan saw He Xun and the shopkeeper Liao Yun, whom he had met before, already sitting inside.

Because Li Quan had not arrived yet, the table was filled with delicious food, but no one picked up their chopsticks.

Seeing Li Quan coming in, He Xun secretly glanced at Liao Yun next to him. Liao Yun nodded, and He Xun stood up.

"This must be Mr. Li, right? I am He Xun from He's Shop." He Xun introduced himself.

"Boss He, nice to meet you!" Li Quan said and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, he heard a gentle sound of piano coming from the Tianzi Pavilion. Li Quan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman with a good figure playing the piano in the inner room behind a beaded curtain.

Although he couldn't see her face clearly, Li Quan felt that she must be a great beauty.

He Xun and Liao Yun looked at each other when they saw Li Quan looking into the inner room.

"Boss He, what do you want to talk to me about today?" Li Quan asked knowingly.

He Xun smiled and said, "Mr. Li, we are all sensible people, so I will speak frankly. I invited you here today for the sake of our He's shop and your business."

"Isn't our business good? Are you going to cancel the cooperation, Boss He?" Li Quan asked deliberately.

"No, I'm not canceling the cooperation. I just want to talk to you about the cooperation again." He Xun said.

Then Liao Yun continued, "Mr. Li, previously we set the price at one guan of money for a piece of soap, but we think that price is too high, so we decided to charge three hundred wen for a piece of soap in the future, and we can only pay a 10% deposit."

"Soap is novel, but it's not very useful. Even if it sells well in the future, the price is not affordable for ordinary people."

Before Li Quan could say anything, Li Pohuang behind him couldn't help himself. But Li Quan raised his hand to stop him.

"Three hundred wen is not even enough for labor and material costs. If I agree, wouldn't it mean I'm working for your He's shop for nothing?" Li Quan said.

"Business can only last long if both parties benefit. Since Boss He thinks so, let's end our cooperation here."

Li Quan knew that He Xun and Liao Yun were not fools, they knew it all in their hearts.

They knew clearly in their minds that they would definitely not agree to the price of three hundred coins per piece, so they must have other words waiting for me.

Just as Li Quan was about to get up and say goodbye, He Xun quickly stood up.

"Mr. Li, don't be anxious, let's talk it over!" He Xun said quickly.

When Li Quan heard what He Xun said, he pretended to sit back down, but in his heart he was thinking, "Let's see what tricks you can come up with."

Seeing that Li Quan had sat down, He Xun began to get to the point.

"Mr. Li, you know that business is all about negotiation. Since you think the current way of cooperation is not working, let's try another one."

Li Quan knew what He Xun was going to say, but he still pretended to be as calm as a rock and waited quietly for him to continue.

He Xun saw that Li Quan looked calm and felt a little unsure, so he frowned.

"Actually, although this soap can make some money, it's really not as much as Mr. Li thinks." He Xun began to tell the truth.

"What does Boss He mean?" Li Quan asked.

"Mr. Li, if you are unwilling to lower the price, why don't you sell the soap formula to our He's shop? We will definitely give you a satisfactory price." He Xun expressed his thoughts.

When Li Quan heard this, he sneered in his heart: "Want to buy my formula? No way!"

But he pretended to be calm on the surface and asked, "Boss He wants to buy my formula?"

"Yes." He Xun nodded.

"It's okay to buy the formula, but I want this price." Li Quan stretched out a finger.

When He Xun saw it, he thought it was one million taels, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately.

"Mr. Li, this price is too high. We..."

But Li Quan shook his head and interrupted He Xun.

"Boss He misunderstood. It's not one million taels, it's one hundred thousand taels."

He Xun heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that it was not one million taels. But before he could be completely relieved, Li Quan shook his head again.

"I said ten million taels."

……

On the other side, in Prince Qi’s mansion, Mingyue was looking for Xing’er.

"Xing'er, do you know where the prince went?" Mingyue asked.

At this time of day, Li Quan would have finished inspecting the Black Tiger Guards and returned to his room, but today he was nowhere to be seen.

When Xing'er heard Mingyue's question, her expression changed and she stammered, "Your Highness...Your Highness went out for something and said he would be back later."

Mingyue became suspicious when she saw Xing'er's reaction.

"Where did you go?" she asked seriously.

Seeing Mingyue was so serious, Xing'er had to lower her head and said, "I... I don't know either. I just heard His Highness tell Pohuang that he was going to Zuixian Tower when he left."

"Zuixianlou?" Mingyue felt as if her heart was choked when she heard the name.

"I know." She said coldly.

Xing'er saw Mingyue's expression was not right, so she quickly explained: "Miss, His Highness should be going to discuss business, not to..."

But Mingyue didn't want to listen anymore, and her face became even colder.

Although Mingyue had other reasons for contacting Li Quan, Xing'er grew up with her and she had long noticed that Mingyue had feelings for Li Quan.

Now that she heard that Li Quan went to Zuixianlou, it was normal for Mingyue to feel uncomfortable.

"It's nothing, you go back and rest first." Mingyue said to Xing'er, then turned and went back to the room without saying anything else.

On the other side, inside Zuixianlou.

As soon as Li Quan finished speaking, the Tianzi Pavilion suddenly became silent.

Even the person playing the piano inside stopped, and the music suddenly disappeared.

"Mr. Li, isn't this a bit too much of a joke?"

He Xun said angrily, "How can your formula be worth so much money? Even if it is worth it, our He's shop can't afford so much money."
