Xu Qilin smiled and said, "It's rare to be expensive! Besides, this secret recipe is not something you can do. You can make a little money and make a fortune, but you never thought about it."

"Hey?" Yuwen Shang waved his hand and said with some regret: "Brother Xu holds a golden basin, how can he not show off his skills and become a rich man forever?"

Xu Qilin chuckled twice, lowered his head slightly, turned the wine glass in his hand, but did not give a direct answer, waiting for Yuwen Shang to lift all the trump cards out.

Cui Zheng winked at Yuwen Shang and said, "Brother Xu must not know about Brother Yuwen and Brother Wei's family background, connections and strength, so he had some doubts. To be honest, Brother Yuwen is the third son of Duke Ying of the current dynasty; as for Brother Wei and the reputation of the Wei family in Jingzhao, Brother Xu must know."

Although Wei Du was not among the five surnames, it was based on the prominent political and social status of the Wei Du family in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the proverb said at the time: "Wei Du in the south of the city is to go to the five heavens." It can be seen how noble it is.

The village of Weishi is located in a beautiful place in the south of Chang'an City. It leans against the city, beside the hills, the thousandth trunk, and the crown is facing each other. In the Tang Dynasty, there were as many as seventeen people as the prime minister. In addition, the family tradition has a long history and "old name is Confucian Zong".

Moreover, the Wei and Du surnames became the objects of the royal marriage of the Li Tang Dynasty. It seemed that they had become common things for men or princesses, women or concubines of Jin.

The Li Tang royal family also relied heavily on the Weidu family and always regarded these two families as important reliances for maintaining their feudal rule, and adopted a courteous attitude towards both Weidu families.

But just because of Yuwen Shang and Wei Zongzhang's family background, even if Cui Zheng is added, Xu Qilin will not give up Xianglu's business.

To put it nicely now, if the secret recipe is in their hands, it will sooner or later squeeze Xu Qilin out.

"Look for a long time, long time." Xu Qilin bowed his compliment, but there was no expression of enthusiasm or admiration on his face.

Wei Zongzhang couldn't help but impatient and said, "If Brother Xu was willing to invest in the secret recipe and the money would be paid by our three companies. It would be normal for Xianglu to increase the output of ten times. The price would not be lowered if sold to the whole country or even overseas. The profits would be evenly divided, and Brother Xu would make more than twice as much as it is now."

Hehe, you just have such a wishful thinking, it’s really a daydream. I won’t invest more or expand the production scale. Is it necessary for you to get involved?

But Xu Qilin could not say so directly that he was a little mentally prepared for outsiders' covetousness of Xianglu, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

After pondering for a while, Xu Qilin smiled and said, "I wonder if the three brothers are involved in it personally, or do the adults in the family agree?"

Yuwen Shang, Cui and Wei looked at each other, guessing that Xu Qilin was moved or was intimidated by the forces of the three families, but there was still a little hesitation and uncertainty.

Obviously, if it is personal participation, the importance will be greatly reduced. Only when the family is backed can Xianglu's monopoly be protected.

Thinking of this, Yuwen Shang smiled and said, "How dare we take the initiative for such a big event? Of course, it was the adults in the family who agreed and asked Brother Xu to come and talk about it."

Cui Zheng was cautious and persistent. He didn't say anything for a moment, but his eyes flashed and he looked at Xu Qilin thoughtfully.

Wei Zongzhang, however, had a relatively simple mind and said, "The same is true for my Wei Xiaoyao Public Housing, and I must not run it alone."

Xu Qilin nodded and said, "It's good to do this. I want to manage it together."

After deliberately pausing, Xu Qilin smiled at the three of them expectant and joyful eyes, and said, "But I'm not too careful. I'm really not familiar with the three brothers. I'm not familiar with what the three brothers said, but I'm also skeptical."

Wei Zongzhang was most urgent and asked, "How can you believe it?"

Xu Qilin pretended to think about it and said, "If I can be invited to visit my brothers' houses, it is the best. If it is troublesome-"

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Qilin seemed to have thought of a solution and continued: "As long as the adults in the mansion write a note of words, I will believe it without doubt. There is no problem with cooperation."

Yuwen Shang looked at Wei Zongzhang and Cui Zheng again, both hesitating, but he felt that Xu Qilin's request was reasonable.

Oh, you said that you are a noble son of a certain family and are discussing cooperation on behalf of the adults in your family. Why do people believe it? Even if you can make a huge amount of money, what can that mean?

For a highly profitable product like Xianglu, if Xu Qilin wants to find a partner, the rich and powerful ones will not be able to follow him.

In fact, Xu Qilin basically believed in the identities and intentions of these three people, but was deliberately skeptical and asked them to provide evidence.

"Since I have doubts, we will find a way to make Brother Xu believe it." Cui Zheng did not immediately agree to the two requests made by Xu Qilin, and said tactfully: "Wait a minute and let us discuss it."

Xu Qilin did not urge him to avoid arousing the suspicion of the three of them, so he started drinking and eating and chatting casually. However, he didn't stay for a long time, so Xu Qilin said that the family was very strict and he had to go back early and get up to say goodbye.

After leaving the Zuixiao Tower, Xu Qilin walked around the house without hesitation, but his head was thinking about how to deal with these robbers who came to grab money.

That's right, it's a robber. Whatever you invest or share the profit is to grab food from Xu Qilin's plate.

The hill outside the village has been regarded as a reward for Xu, and the papermaking workshop was given to the Ministry of Works. He is preparing to expand the Xianglu workshop there to improve the process and produce a better quality and more models of Xianglu!

Well, I’m coming sooner or later, so I’ll take this opportunity to come up with a solution once and for all! Try to delay and wait until the papermaking is successful and the printing of movable type will look like, which is the best time.

Xu Qilin had settled his mind and let out a long breath, and his frown also calmed down.

It was already dark, and there were curfews outside the shops, but there were still many shops in the shops with lights on and they were still open.

Xu Qilin touched his stomach and just ate some wine and food, but he was really not full. He smelled the fragrance coming out of the Hucai shop next to him, and his appetite aroused again.

Stalking down the horse's head, Xu Qilin pointed to the shop, smiled and said to Wu Song and others, "We will finish our meal here and go home to save trouble."

Wu Song and others nodded, all drooling at the fragrance.
Chapter completed!
