Clan Prosperity Starting With My Servant Girls-Chapter 353: Qian Shi

Lin Xuan Qi glanced over at Huo Fei Li when he heard the young master’s query.

Huo Fei Li gave him a nod and whispered, "They are all reliable partners with the Huo Clan for hundreds of years."

It assured him that they wouldn’t be a handful of trouble and Lin Xuan Qi gave them a smile and said, "We might as well do it today.

"Let’s start with a bid of ten copper coins per kilogram, whoever gives me the best price and terms gets to be a dealer."

There would be a cost to be paid for the logistics of delivering the Lin Clan Taste Transcendent Essence over here and he would have to start with something that is higher than what it was in Hong Feng City.

The young masters weren’t deterred by the price and they thought that it was more than affordable.

All of them started to have plans about targeting the rich clans and families in the Capital City.

Their worldview and who they dealt with were drastically different from what Lin Xuan Qi was used to in Hong Feng City.

"I will offer twelve copper coins per kilogram for the rights to be the dealer for the Eastern area."

"Fourteen copper coins per kilogram for the Southern area."

"I can pay the same per kilogram for the Western area and on top of that, there will be a gift of a hundred taels of silver for the Lin Clan."

"Five Spirit Stones on top of what they are offering for the Northern area."

All of them laid their terms and tried to outdo each other with better terms.

"Maybe the Spirit Stones would be much more useful for someone else." Lin Xuan Qi gave them an awkward smile and said.

Even though Lin Xuan Qi knew how valuable the Spirit Stones were, he had no need for them.

"Ah, silly me. Please forgive my carelessness." The young master who offered the Spirit Stones slapped his forehead and said, "The Spirit Stones would be great for young master Sima Long instead.

"I will put in a gift of a hundred taels of gold for young master Lin as compensation."

"What? Me?" Sima Long pointed at his nose and asked, pleasantly surprised by their offer.

Lin Xuan Qi nudged him and said, "Just take it."

It would be great for Sima Long’s status in the Sima Family and Lin Xuan Qi wasn’t one to forget about his brothers.

The other young masters quickly followed up with their bids.

"Calm down, let’s have you bid one by one." Huo Fei Li shook his head at the young masters, thinking how unruly and immature they were again.

They kept quiet and glanced at each other, trying to figure out the others’ bids.

Finally, Huo Fei Li pointed at one of them and said, "Leng, you start first."

Leng quickly put in his bid with twenty copper coins per kilogram and with a gift of ten Spirit Stones for Sima Long and a hundred taels of gold for Lin Xuan Qi.

Up until a certain point, their subtle mindset of outdoing each other took over and it was no longer about clinching the deal.

And it helped Lin Xuan Qi in this regard.

Others followed up one by one when Huo Fei Li asked.

And finally, it was settled.

Most of the winners decided to put in forty copper coins per kilogram and with a gift of ten Spirit Stones and a hundred taels of gold.

"Congratulations, brother Lin." Young master Heng, who was quiet all this while, cupped his hands at Lin Xuan Qi and said.

"Thanks, brother Heng." Lin Xuan Qi cupped his hands back at him and said.

The other young masters got curious and asked, "Heng, why didn’t you put in any bid for the dealership? Aren’t you interested?"

Young master Heng gave out a burst of laughter and said, "Me? I’m aiming for the fifth area."

"Why are you so..." One of them wanted to ask but stopped himself.

Heng’s family supplied weaponry to the imperial palace and he was friends with Qian Shi.

If anyone would be able to know whether the emperor would be interested, it would be young master Heng.

"Well, if it was the imperial palace..." Someone’s voice sounded at the entrance and everyone turned around in that direction.

Lin Xuan Qi glanced at the young man standing at the door and frowned.

The young man was wearing a luxurious silk coat in yellow embroidered with many precious stones.

And underneath the coat were equally extravagant shirts and pants.

Standing behind him were two men that had pale faces and delicate skin.

"Ah, Qian Shi, you have finally arrived." Young master Heng stood up from his seat.

Mei gave Qian Shi a deep bow and the other young masters did the same.

Lin Xuan Qi stood up and bowed at Qian Shi while he inspected how Qian Shi behaved toward it.

"No need for the formalities. I was tied up with some business." Qian Shi said and he walked to the table and sat beside young master Heng.

Young master Heng quickly poured him a cup of wine and said, "You’ve missed out on all the fun."

Qian Shi raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh. Tell me about it later. But first..."

He glanced at Huo Fei Li and shook his head at Huo Fei Li, "I’ve told you to stay in the Capital City, thankfully you are fine."

"I’m fine and I think that it’s a blessing in disguise..." Huo Fei Li scratched the back of his head and he patted on the shoulder of Lin Xuan Qi.

"If it wasn’t for the trip, I wouldn’t get to know someone like brother Xuan Qi here and brother Sima Long beside him.

"I’ve learned so much from them."

Qian Shi raised an eyebrow and he inspected Lin Xuan Qi and Sima Long.

Sima Long was plump like most young masters were but Lin Xuan Qi was much more different than he had expected.

He was good looking and well built.

"Thanks for helping Fei Li when he was in need." Qian Shi said and glanced back at young master Heng, "So, what did I miss earlier..."
