The villain of Kuaishou is my treasure

Xiao Rao was personally invited into the study by Yuan Xiangyin. She indeed spent the most money at the auction party, and even 'doubled' it, so she left on her own without 'knowledge'.

No matter how awkward the businessmen were, there was nothing they could do to drive her away.

After all, Yuan Xiangyin hasn't even spoken yet. Who do they think they are?

"Everyone, everyone, sit down and find your own place to sit!"

Among the businessmen, there was naturally the leader who was gnashing his teeth to smooth things over.

"You're welcome, Mr. Li, take your seat!" Seeing this, the remaining people pinched their noses and endured it, and sat down together according to their status and age.

Yuan Xiangyin pretended not to see it before speaking.

He first thanked the businessmen, and then emphatically 'praised' Xiao Rao for his generosity, and Xiao Rao took advantage of the situation and gave him a small wink.

Yuan Xiangyin:......

His face seemed expressionless, but in fact he turned his head with his heart pounding.

He began to complain vaguely to the merchants again, "Gentlemen, the country is currently in crisis, and the people are in dire straits. A certain Tian is a marshal, commanding five provinces, and is wary every day, fearing that he will mislead the people and destroy his family and country. It is really..."

Difficult!

It's difficult for me.

It's really difficult for me.

I'm so short of money.

Your 'contribution' today is simply not enough, so let's see if we can get some more.

Ten thousand is never too little.

One million doesn't feel too small.

Those who have money will be given some money, and those who have no money will be given less.

You don’t need to support me in the human world.

Yuan Xiangyin was very skillful in expressing this meaning clearly in less straightforward words.

In this auction, those who are willing to spend money to earn the top ten are naturally businessmen who intend to 'donate' money and want to gain the friendship of 'Yuan Jiajun'. They were invited by Marshal Yuan to attend the 'study party', and they were ready to spend money. .

You said something, I said something, and they tried and discussed with each other. They pushed to the limit to decide the amount of 'donation'.

Among them, no one spoke to Xiao Rao.

For one thing, everyone present knew that she was a prodigal playboy. She didn't understand anything about family and country affairs, including military supplies and food.

Secondly, it is already indecent for a woman to attend a gathering of more than a dozen big men. If you flirt with her and talk back and forth with her, you will probably make people laugh.

Third, at the charity party, Xiao Rao donated enough money.

More than 140 million.

The remaining nine merchants’ total auction proceeds were not as much as hers!

It's already too much to gather a sheep like this, but to gather a handful more...even if you are as greedy as Yuan Xiangyin, you will feel a little unbearable!

He did not 'hint' Xiao Rao to continue donating money.

but……

He did not give any hint, but Xiao Rao was extremely generous. Seeing that everyone had discussed for a round, but no result was reached, she took a short break to drink tea to moisten her mouth, and when she was preparing to fight again, she suddenly said, "Marshal Yuan, I have something to ask~"

"Yang, uh, what's the matter with Ms. Xiao?" Yuan Xiangyin was slightly startled. He turned sideways and faced her face to face, but his eyes were drooping. "Please tell me."

"The military uniforms and materials for your army should be provided by my Xiao family, right?" Xiao Rao tilted his head, with a questioning look in his eyes, "I should remember correctly~~"

The expressions of Yuan Xiangyin and many businessmen were speechless for a moment.

The biggest business of Xiao's cloth shop in Haishi is to provide military uniforms, military quilts and other materials to Yuan Jiajun.

The Yuan family's army occupies five provinces. There are more than 20 professional soldiers, and they are recruiting troops almost every month. With so many young adults, the Yuan family has to give them clothes, right?

Regardless of old or new, one person must have two sets, right?

They have to take care of their food and shelter.

You need a quilt and a mattress to live in, right?

These all require fabrics. As the largest cloth merchant in Hai City and one of the top three in the country, the Xiao family has full control over all the Yuan Jiajun's military uniforms and quilts business. Although this business does not make much money compared to others, it is The water flows slowly and continuously year after year, which means small profits but quick turnover.

This was a business negotiated by Xiao Zhanyang during his lifetime, and it was one of the most stable sources of income for the cloth shop.

Xiao Rao actually asked?

She is the eldest lady of the Xiao family. Doesn’t she even know the most basic things like this?

The businessmen grinned.

Yuan Xiangyin was also a little speechless, but he still said in a good temper: "Yes, the military uniform business is indeed entrusted to your father. The contract we made is to supply goods every six months. Now there should be two months left before the next batch is delivered." Goods."

"Ms. Xiao is in trouble?"

The Xiao family's business was openly managed by Uncle Ming and the 'veterans' left behind by Xiao Zhanyang, but secretly it was controlled by Xiao Hongling. Yang Zhiyi tried his best to pry corners, but also swayed quite a few people who were not so sincere.

The Xiao family is in the middle of a chaotic battle between old and new families to seize power.

Yuan Xiangyin asked because he was afraid that there would be something wrong with the military uniform supplies. After all, it was autumn now and it was about to get cold. If there was something wrong with the military uniforms, he could prepare in advance.

"There is no difficulty!" Xiao Rao denied it. Then, with Yuan Xiangyin's expression of "There is no difficulty, why are you asking?", she said: "I just heard the commander talking to the uncles, and then I suddenly realized that the commander-in-chief was talking to the uncles. Your situation is really difficult, Shuai.”

"The Yuan family's army protects the family and the country. We, the merchants, can do business safely, all thanks to the commander-in-chief. Therefore, I am willing to share the worries for the commander-in-chief."

"I intend to reduce the cost of military uniforms and supplies..."

Xiao Rao paused.

Yuan Xiangyin's cold eyes suddenly lit up, really eager.

The businessmen looked at each other in confusion and gestured with their eyes.

In the years of the Republic of China, most of those who provided supplies to the army were doing business at a loss. After all, their lives were in their hands, right?Who dares to ask for money from soldiers and warlords?Yuan Xiangyin is very strict in managing the army, and there is no phenomenon of asking for things without giving money, but...

In terms of these military resources, the Xiao family cloth shop's interests are indeed very small.

Making some money depends entirely on volume.

Nowadays, whenever Xiao Rao's upper lip touches his lower lip, he has to reduce the cost.

How to reduce?

How much less?

If you can't do it well, you have to spend money backwards. Moreover, the Yuan family recruits soldiers every month, and they are all sent to the battlefield. Clothes can be worn out very quickly. The Xiao family's supplies cannot be cut off. Once the 'reduction of expenses' is reduced to There is no time to stop when building it in. The Yuan family needs more supplies, and they can be built year after year.

It will drag the Xiao family to death.

Xiao Rao...

What a playboy and prodigal girl, she dares to say anything casually and agree to whatever she wants!

tsk tsk!

Zhan Yang's biggest failure in his life was giving birth to such a daughter, who probably couldn't even close his eyes in the coffin.

The businessmen communicated with their eyes.

Yuan Xiangyin could no longer pay attention to them. His expression was anxious and his eyes were bright. He stood up suddenly and said anxiously: "Ms. Xiao, are you serious about what you said? How much weight are you going to lose?"

It has been reduced to a few cents per piece of cloth. Even if the Yuan family's army uses a large amount and lasts for a long time, overall it will not be too much. But the reduction is much. If the Xiao family loses money, it will be bad. .

He can't do such a thing.

It's not that he has a high baseline, it's just that it's not good for him.
