Chapter 55: He nearly believed it

Bai Xu understood what she meant and was elated.

"Are you going to sell me the secret technique of turning yellow sugar into white sugar?"

He was actually prepared that Shi Qingluo only sold him the sugar.

It would be a lie if he said that it wasn't a pity.

Shi Qingluo nodded. "That's right. Otherwise, why would I ask you to bring yellow sugar? Of course, I'm going to turn it into white sugar on the spot for you to see."

Bai Xu was pleasantly surprised. "That would be great."

He asked, "How do you want to sell it?"

This wasn't about handing the initiative to Shi Qingluo, but rather, it would be easier for him to adapt to the situation.

If the price was in line with his expectations, he would agree immediately.

If it was too high, he could haggle over the price.

How could Shi Qingluo not see through his intentions? She didn't expose him either.

It was good that Bai Xu was following her lead.

"1000 taels of silver, with 20% of the profits from the sugar."

If the Bai family wanted to buy sugar, they would have to spend a lot of effort to strengthen their networking.

As the Bai family was in charge of acquisition, decolourisation, and sale, she only asked for 20% of the profits.

Bai Xu frowned slightly.

1000 taels of silver was fine, but 20% of the profits was too high for him.

"I can give you 10% of the profit." He knew that this woman was smart and difficult to deal with, so she definitely wouldn't agree to it.

Shi Qingluo said bluntly, "I'm a straightforward person and don't like to beat around the bush. So, what I said was the actual price. If you agree, we'll sign the contract. I'll do it on the spot to prove it to you. If you don't, just take it as I didn't let you see the white sugar today."

She didn't choose to enter the business world in the modern world because she didn't like to be involved in the twists and turns and scheming.

In the ancient times, the technology was in her hands, so she had the confidence to be straightforward and do whatever she wanted.

"Getting 20% of the profit is nothing compared to the huge profit you can get from mastering this technology. Besides earning this revenue, it's also good for your Bai family's family reputation so that you can get in touch with some people.

She looked at Bai Xu with a half-smile and continued, "It's just like how you raise flowers. You may like them, but you can use them to make a fuss."

Bai Xu was speechless. This woman's eyes were really sharp.

He didn't expect her to be able to see through all of this.

He believed that even the ladies from the aristocratic families in the capital wouldn't be able to see so far ahead.

How could a village girl do this?

Therefore, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Hanzheng. Could it be that he taught her?

Xiao Hanzheng knew his thoughts at a glance.

He smiled and said, "My wife is the disciple of an old immortal, so she's very powerful."

Not to mention Bai Xu, even he was amazed at his little wife's vision and intelligence from the beginning.

He was definitely not responsible for teaching this kind of wife.
