The auction house better not have any idea that she would continue to sell her treasures to them at the lowest price. They might come after her when they realize that was not what she had in mind.
Lin Deshan replied, “don’t worry, girl. The auction house still has its reputation, and my old friend is also a person who considers the big picture. He would never do such a despicable thing. ”
Lin Yuelan nodded, “that’s good to know.”
As long as the auction house wasn’t so greedy, she could continue to cooperate with them.
After the serious conversation ended, Lin Yuelan picked up the banknote and looked at it.
There were twenty one thousand taels notes, twenty five hundred taels notes, and the rest were hundred taels notes.
Lin Deshan said, “I doubt you can exchange for so much silver in our small town. So I purposely asked for the banknotes with the smaller values.” There were banknotes for 50000 silver, 30000 silver, and 10000 silver too.
Lin Yuelan nodded and took out eight one thousand taels of silver, ten five-hundred taels notes, and thirty one-hundred taels notes. She handed them to Lin Deshan and said, “Uncle Lin, our cooperation agreement was an eight-two split. I’ll take eight, and you take two. These eight thousand taels of silver are for you. Please keep them well.”
When Lin Deshan and Lin Yuelan signed the agreement, he didn’t think he’d earn that much. He didn’t think Lin Yuelan would bring so many precious treasures to him. Regardless, this was a deal that he wouldn’t lose out on, so he agreed to the agreement. After their first successful cooperation, he had easily earned eight thousand taels, which was more than the total profit of his medicine shop for three years. It made Lin Deshan feel like he was dreaming.
Lin Deshan didn’t think he had done much, so he didn’t deserve the eight thousand.
Lin Deshan took out three notes worth five hundred taels of silver and five notes worth a hundred taels of silver, making a total of two thousand taels of silver. He pushed the rest back and said, “girl, I only need two thousand taels of silver. I don’t deserve the rest. I don’t think I’ve done much, so I’m ashamed to accept so much money. ”
Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, “Uncle Lin, you can’t say that. We’ve already discussed the terms of our agreement, so how can we change it so easily? I was lucky this time to find milkvetch in the mountains. But next time, I might not be so lucky anymore. Besides,” Lin Yuelan said very seriously, “this time, the flower was sold at such a high price because of your contribution. Otherwise, based on my estimation, it would only be sold for ten thousand taels at Ning An Town. So, Uncle Lin, these eight thousand taels are what you deserve. Don’t say that you don’t deserve it. I still want to work with you in the future. ”
Lin Deshan didn’t want that much, but Lin Yuelan couldn’t go against her conscience. If she didn’t give Lin Deshan what he deserved, her heart wouldn’t rest well.
Businessmen valued profits, but they also had to be sincere and honest. Otherwise, would they be able to cooperate again?
She loved money, but she also had her principles.
Hearing Lin Yuelan’s words, Lin Deshan couldn’t refuse, so he didn’t say anything.
It was just as Lin Yuelan had said. This time, it was because he had sold the milkvetch at a high price, so he had earned a lot of money. But next time, it could be something not worth as much.
After they were done with their business, Lin Deshan strolled around in the yard. He saw a few small tents in the yard, which made him curious. But what made him even more eager was that he wanted to touch little white, who was all white and fluffy.
No one knew that this mature-looking Grandpa Lin was actually a fan of fur and cuteness!
Lin Deshan walked to little white, unable to hide the joy on his face. He reached out his hand and thought, ‘I really want to touch it.’
However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, little White’s eyes were filled with sharp disdain and contempt. It glanced at Lin Deshan and then ignored him, but it still exuded an aura that refused to be touched.
