Chapter 129 The Chief is Here
Qing'er passed a message outside the door, and someone brought papers in a moment. Qing'er took a few quick steps and presented the stack of papers in her hand to the master.
Several clan leaders and grandfathers in the main hall took the pen and tried it on paper. Wang Jinyi carefully observed everyone's expressions. First, the clan leader looked at Wang Jinyi in a daze after using it, and then the two people beside the clan leader who had used the pen whispered something.
Wang Jinyi lowered her head and played with the green silk ribbons on both sides of her skirt. Today's skirt was just made by her nanny. It was thin and gauze and didn't stick to her body. It was very cool. She also liked the color, which was the kind of clear sky blue. It looked so cool...
Wang Jinyi was like nothing had happened, thinking about fun things by himself. As if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him, he waited for the clan leaders to speak first.
The father's voice sounded in the hall:
"Dear clan leaders, your great-great-grandson Wang Shuli greets you all."
The three clan leaders immediately returned to their respective positions upon hearing this. Wang Jinyi knelt down and saluted her father. Her father walked to his daughter's side and held the top of her head. Then he squatted down and moved closer and whispered:
: "Don't be afraid, your father is here."
Then he stood up, took his daughter's hand, and stood in the middle of the hall.
The three clan leaders finally got to the point.
"The clan members have reviewed the charter drafted by our grandson Wang Minzhang. Your proposal is correct. When it comes to bringing glory to the clan, we should first think of our clan members. This is the right thing to do!
There is no dispute about the basic terms, I just want to know how much you want after you have left the required share."
Wang Jinyi hesitated and wanted to wait for the clan leaders to speak first. Mainly, he didn't know how the net profit was calculated here.
At this time, including his father, everyone focused their attention on Wang Jinyi. Wang Jinyi thought about it and gave a rough guess:
"I want 8 percent."
Wang Jinyi clearly felt that his father's hand, which was holding hers, trembled slightly. This scholar didn't know what 8% was approximately.
Maybe you think your daughter is too much?
Wang Jinyi confidently said 8 percent. Feeling his father's slight nervousness, he wondered if he was asking for too much.
The father calmed down and held his daughter's hand tightly. Wang Jinyi couldn't help but look up at her father, and even wanted to hug her father and pat his back, telling him not to be nervous, because the three clan leaders should be nervous.
When I came, the clan did some research on the profit sharing issue. According to the profit sharing between the clan and its branches, it is usually 20:80. People doing clan business can only get 20%.
However, this 20% business share means that they can only get this 20% if they invest in and operate the businesses in various places themselves.
Now Wang Jinyi does almost nothing, just want to get nearly 10%.
When the clan members were doing research, they thought that 0.3 was basically enough, but they never expected that the girl would say a number at the beginning that they did not expect.
These words were not spoken by Wang Minzhang, but by a little kid. The class suddenly fell silent.
"The Sect Master has come from afar today, so you should take a rest first. Shuli, go down and prepare for the servants to serve dinner."
Wang Shuli understood what his father meant. He wanted to give the clan leaders time to study and decide in order to avoid embarrassment on both sides. So he pulled his daughter aside and prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, Wang Jinyi spoke again.
"Dear clan leaders, I didn't want to make money when I wanted to hand over the business to the Wang clan, so I proposed the figure of 8%. If it's for fame, I can cooperate with the Ministry of Rites; if it's for money, I can cooperate with any prince; if it's for safety, I can cooperate with the major families. All of these will bring benefits to me and the Xunyang Wang family.
But my grandfather said that "bringing honor to the family" was the Wang clan's motto, and he wanted me to work hard to bring glory to the family, so I agreed.
After all, I am a descendant of the royal family, and I want to bring honor to my ancestors. I also have to think about the descendants of the royal family, so I am willing to suffer a little loss, as long as 8% is enough. "
The father holding his daughter's hand was proud but also felt that the child was ignorant. His hands were even shaking slightly. Was this excitement? He couldn't tell.
Wang Jinyi looked up at his father, then at his grandfather, and didn't see any dissatisfaction between the two of them.
Looking at the way the clan leader looked at him, he couldn't figure out what these people were thinking at this moment.
The grandfather turned his head to look at his granddaughter, then stood up seriously and saluted to the clan elders:
"In this pen business, our Xunyang Wang family does not participate, nor does it share profits. The contracts you signed were signed with Jin'er herself, and we do not share the money during this period.
All future profits will go into the child’s private account, and the palace will not share a single cent.”
The three clan leaders were so angry that their beards were shaking, but they couldn't get angry and no one said anything. They didn't expect that they originally thought that the profits would be given to the Xunyang Wang family, but they actually gave all the profits to this little guy. It was really unreasonable.
Is it good to spoil children like this?
The clan leader spoke:
"You guys go down and get ready. We'll come over when dinner is ready!"
Oh, does this mean research? Okay!
This time, Wang Jinyi performed a scholar's salute, turned around and ran towards the wet nurse at the door.
The nurse stood by the door and listened to what the young lady said. She couldn't understand a word and didn't know what she was saying, but she knew that the young lady said she won.
He took the young lady's hand and went to the back hall, looking at Qing'er who was holding Wang Jinyi's other hand as he walked.
Qing'er actually didn't quite understand what was said, but she heard very clearly that the young lady wanted money, and quite a lot. She didn't quite understand what was said, but she kept talking about some nonsense and thought as she walked.
Wang Jinyi's heart leaped with joy, and she ran into the hall of her mother's room. The food was ready, but her mother was not there. The wet nurse helped the girl rinse her mouth and change her clothes while waiting for dinner.
At this time, outside the main hall, the grandfather chased his son:
"Shuli, did you research how much the kid wanted in advance? Who told him to say that?"
Looking at his father who was asking questions anxiously, Wang Shuli spread his hands helplessly:
"Father, I really don't know about this. I will ask the child what she thinks later. If possible, I also want to know the clan's attitude so that I can persuade the child to stop."
The father and son chatted as they walked towards the dining room. The mother and the servants were busy setting up the table. Seeing the father and son coming over, they knelt down and asked:
"When the clan leaders come, it's already been prepared. It's just a home-cooked meal. We were in such a rush that we didn't prepare much, and we don't know if the clan leaders are used to it."
The grandfather raised his hand slightly and did not rush to answer. He continued to discuss with his son about Wang Jinyi's 8%.
The father and son finally confirmed together that Wang Jinyi was just a child who didn't know much. He probably thought that eight was a very large number, so he asked for it!
