Chapter 1576 - 1576 Spirit Tea Negotiation
1576 Spirit Tea Negotiation
Seeing that the expert was mistaken, Fan Yin and Fan Xi’s hearts immediately thumped. Fan Yin hurriedly explained, “Expert, I can make decisions on the Fan family’s behalf. Don’t worry, the negotiations later will definitely be valid. You can ask for anything! Let’s talk, let’s talk!”
Fan Yin now regretted refusing to let his father come with them. In fact, his father had gone to see him early in the morning to discuss the matter of the spirit tea. Firstly, his father wanted to specially pay this expert a visit in person, and secondly, he was still a little worried about his son, who only had luck, making the decisions in this matter.
But his son was the only one in the Fan family who was familiar with this ‘expert.’ For one thing, Fan Yin wasn’t willing for the Fan family to go over his head and directly contact the expert. For another, Fan Yin was well aware of what some people in the Fan family were thinking. For example, Fan Ping and some of the elders had been asking about this ‘expert’ he had met. They had been secretly following him these days and had all sorts of eyes on him in an attempt to find out about the expert.
Fan Yin was very unhappy that Fan Ping wanted to get to know the expert. Fan Yin had refused to let even Father Fan come, let alone bring a few elders with him; naturally he wouldn’t agree to Fan Ping getting involved.
!!
In the end, the Fan family agreed to let him and Brother Xi try negotiating with the expert first.
In short, before the two met with the expert, Father Fan and the Fan family repeatedly exhorted them to negotiate the conditions of the spirit tea deal. Even if the Fan family suffered a loss, they could accept it.
Although Fan Yin did care about the spirit tea deal, more than that, he was grateful to the expert, and wanted to catch up with her. Who would have thought that bringing just Brother Xi with him would make the expert think too much?
Before Fan Yin came, he had already made up his mind that even if the Fan family suffered a loss, the expert couldn’t suffer a loss – he was just that sort of loyal person.
After listening to Fan Yin and Fan Xi’s explanation, Chi Shuyan raised her eyebrows. Fan Yin kept hinting that she should make all sorts of requests of the Fan family, and even implied subtly that she shouldn’t be embarra.s.sed to make demands.
The corners of Chi Shuyan’s mouth twitched fiercely. Had the Fan family really sent this kid to negotiate?
How could they screw their own family over like this?
As for Fan Xi, he didn’t speak, and just listened quietly to his cousin negotiate. Ever since the last two times, which proved how incomparably wise his cousin was in making decisions, he didn’t doubt his cousin’s words at all. Instead, he felt that they made sense. Although the Fan family would be on the losing end, didn’t the expert’s expression soften when she looked at his cousin?
This was completely a chance for the Fan family to get close to an expert and build a relations.h.i.+p. His cousin was really too smart, right?
Fan Yin didn’t know his cousin’s thoughts. He was just thinking about how to prevent the expert from suffering a loss. As for his own family, that didn’t matter.
Since he couldn’t let the expert suffer, Fan Yin immediately deliberately revealed the most valuable things in his family, such as some jade mines, some rare herbs, and even his father’s private collection of herbs. He couldn’t wait for the expert to immediately clean his family out.
“Expert, the most valuable things in my family are the jade mines and my father’s collection of treasures. There are also many 1,000-year-old herbs. If you want them, I’ll secretly give them to you next time!”
Chi Shuyan: …
Fan Xi: …
The more Fan Xi listened, the more he felt that his cousin really knew how to negotiate. He was going to give away all the Fan family treasures, and had even leaked the matter of the jade. He even said that he would give the expert the treasures in Father Fan’s collection. Fan Xi gaped in disbelief and his lips trembled a few times. He didn’t dare imagine the consequences if Father Fan heard this.
“Expert, think about what you want. As for the spirit tea, just give it as you see fit! Once a week is fine, once a month is fine,” Fan Yin said indifferently. In any case, it was fine as long as the expert didn’t suffer a loss.
Fan Xi was so horrified that he wanted to vomit blood. Was this how his cousin negotiated?
When Fan Yin revealed everything about the Fan family and Father Fan, Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but cough a few times. She looked at Fan Yin, who was treating her like she was family, and she couldn’t help but m.u.f.fle her laughter.
No matter what, she was in a very good mood after this negotiation with the Fan family. However, she wasn’t someone who would take advantage of others. At the same time, she valued the Fan family’s jade mines. What she lacked the most now wasn’t money, but jade.
So, after much deliberation, Chi Shuyan suggested exchanging spirit tea for jade. In other words, for the duration of her contract with the Fan family concerning the spirit tea, the other party would give her the right to mine jade, and it would be limited to her alone.
In other words, while the Fan family gave her the mining rights to a jade mine, she was the only one who would mine the jade. At the same time, it would be the Fan family who would determine how long the contract would last for. There was no way she could empty out a jade mine on her own, to say nothing of the fact that it would be up to the Fan family how long their cooperation would last for. So, this deal sounded quite reasonable and wasn’t asking for too much at all.
Fan Xi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. Fan Yin, on the other hand, couldn’t believe that the expert had made such a small request.
He thought that if the expert needed it, his Fan family should outright give her a jade mine for free, and she could bring in as many people as she needed to mine it.
Fortunately, Fan Xi didn’t know what his cousin was thinking at that moment. If he did, he would probably vomit another liter of blood. Seeing that his cousin still wanted to speak, Fan Xi hurriedly beat him to it. “Okay, okay, okay… Expert, no problem at all. It’s settled! I’ll discuss the details with the Fan family when I go back with Young Master Yin. When the contract is written up, we’ll let you take a look!”
Chi Shuyan nodded. “Okay!”
Fan Yin said indignantly, “No, Expert, you’re asking for too little. The Fan family would be taking too much advantage of you. My dad specially collects a lot of herbs, and some are more than 1,000 years old. Do you want them?”
Chi Shuyan: …
Fan Xi: …
