Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 468 Your Miss Lied to Me

When Cui Yingying left the palace, Li Xin found a pair of mahjong from his inventory as a sample and gave it to her according to his words. Afterwards, in less than five days, Cui Yingying sent people to send five sets of ivory mahjong to Chu Palace - obviously, before establishing a proper mahjong production, she chose to find someone to complete the mahjong that Li Xin wanted. Although there is no need to express this intention, it is worth keeping in mind.

Li Xin opened a pair, took a look, clicked his tongue twice, and couldn't help feeling that Cui Yingying's efficiency was really high. In such a short period of time, enough ivory raw materials have been obtained, and such a skilled craftsman can also be found. Look at the gold and silver inlaid craftsmanship on the surface of this card, it is as delicate as a work of art, when people hold it in their hands and appreciate it, they are reluctant to put it down.

The person who brought the things over was the butler Chang.

Li Xin nodded in satisfaction and said, "How much are these mahjong pieces?"

Steward Chang didn't twitch, and said directly: "Go back to the lord, the lady said, since the lord is a partner, she won't earn any money from you. Five sets of mahjong can have a total of two hundred pieces."

His straightforward attitude is worthy of recognition. He wouldn't even say a price if he was moaning about it for a long time. Then Li Xin was upset.

There are so many materials used in this ivory mahjong, it is definitely impossible for Li Xin to take advantage of Cui Yingying. Paying is what it should be. However, it matters how much you pay.

After listening to Steward Chang's words, Li Xin waved his hands and said, "You don't have to lie to me."

Steward Chang hastily bowed and saluted, cupped his hands and said, "The villain dare not lie to the lord. Miss did say that only two hundred guan is enough."

"Hahaha." Li Xin laughed a few times and said, "Well, that's why your lady is deliberately lying to me."

Steward Chang was so anxious that he almost knelt down. Fortunately, Li Xin had a sharp eye and a quick hand, so he stopped him.

Butler Chang took Li Xin's arm and said anxiously: "My lord, our young lady never shoddy, nor did she try to cheat the lord of his money." Before he finished speaking, Li Xin smiled wryly: "I know, I know , when did I say that you guys were going to cheat me of money? I was just joking, don't take it so seriously."

"Really?" Chang Butler was dubious.

"Really." Li Xin quickly persuaded him.

Only then did Steward Chang stand up with a sigh of relief.

Li Xin shook his head and said, "The materials and workmanship of these sets of mahjong are beyond my imagination. Even if I look at it from my unprofessional perspective, it is definitely not just the price of 40 guan per set. Five A conservative estimate for the second card is that the cost price is about 300 guan, but your lady only charged me 200 guan, and she also said that this is the cost price, and she didn’t make any money. Do you think this is a lie?”

Steward Chang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Li Xin said, and forced a smile: "My lord is overthinking. Naturally, our lady has a way to control costs. Moreover, this ivory is an old product found in the warehouse, and it is not worth much."

He also tried hard to find a reason to prove that the cost of these five sets of ivory mahjong was indeed around two hundred guan.

However, Li Xin did not intend to continue listening.

"Anyway, no matter what your cost price is, it's impossible for me to give you two hundred guan." Li Xin said while playing with the only mahjong set he opened, "We're talking about business. Although We are partners, and there is no reason to take advantage of you for nothing. So, let me make my own decision and give you four hundred guan."
