Liang Youxiao’s cousins stopped talking instantly.
They didn’t want to ask what good news it was.
Otherwise, this guy would be in the spotlight again.
Although they didn’t ask, Liang Mingcheng couldn’t help asking: “What do you mean, it can make our family famous?”
Although their family’s principle was to keep a low profile, they can’t miss the time to be in the spotlight.
Old Master Liang also looked at Liang Youxiao: “Did you go out to find Shi Qingluo?”
This was the first thing that came to his mind.
Liang Youxiao smiled and flattered: “Grandpa is powerful. He saw through it at a glance.”
“You, old man, are the pillar and support of our family.”
Liang Mingcheng: “……”
This son is hopeless.
Old Master Liang was flattered by him, and he felt comfortable.
He asked: “Did you ask what prescription Shi Qingluo offered?”
Alone these young people, even the old men were curious.
They always felt that the Emperor’s dismissal of Xiao Yuanshi and the time when Shi Qingluo and her husband entered the palace were too coincidental.
However, they did not think that Xiao Yuanshi was dismissed because of Shi Qingluo.
But they also felt that there was some connection.
At least that was what the Emperor showed.
It also meant that the Emperor valued Xiao Hanzheng and his wife.
What the Emperor valued, they naturally valued.
Liang Youxiao took a sip of tea and chuckled: “Of course, we are good friends with Shi Qingluo.”
“Not only did she tell us, she also gave us the recipe.”
Old Master Liang and the others were surprised: “What, she gave the prescription to you?”
Liang Mingcheng urged, “What is the prescription? Can you stop keeping us in suspense?”
This bastard was just keeping them in suspense.
Because he was urged by his father, Liang Youxiao said: “Rubber Making Method.”
Without waiting for them to ask what the rubber was, he first told them about the uses of rubber mentioned by Shi Qingluo.
Many people in the Liang family felt that it seemed to have limited use after hearing this.
But Old Master Liang squinted his eyes and said: “If this rubber is really as you said, and it can be used to make rubber-soled leather shoes, waterproof shoes, modify wheels, etc., then it is indeed a good thing.”
“If the soldiers in the army all wear such a pair of shoes, it will be an advantage for us when fighting the enemy.”
“And maybe there will be more important uses in the future.”
Hearing what the old man said, the Liang family, who didn’t care much, was stunned.
So it can also involve the military?
Liang Youxiao smiled and gave a thumbs up: “The old ones are the wisest.”
“Then Grandpa, should we send someone to find rubber trees and cut them on the spot?”
“As for the other plants, we can gather them using the method given by Shi Qingluo, and then transport the seedlings and seeds to suitable places for large-scale planting.”
Old Master Liang made the decision: “Okay, I’ll tell people to look for them immediately.”
Liang Youxiao approached the old man: “Grandpa, who will own the rubber once it’s made at home?”
Others looked at the old man nervously, they were afraid that he would say that it all belonged to Liang Youxiao.
They also thought that if rubber was made, it would be profitable and useful.
The family that first followed the Emperor to make it would indeed be famous and get a lot of benefits.
Such a good thing can’t be taken by Liang Youxiao alone.
After all, the old man has to take action to get this done.
Old Master Liang glared at Liang Youxiao unhappily: “That’s enough.”
“Once the rubber is made, it belongs to the family.”
How can this grandson keep all of it?
Besides, the family also needs these things to show off.
If the rubber can be used in the army, it will be too eye-catching in the hands of his grandson.
His words made everyone in the Liang family feel relieved.
But then the old man changed the subject and said to Liang Youxiao: “But when the seedlings and seeds are shipped back, I can give you 20% to plant.”
Liang Youxiao shook his head: “Grandfather, it doesn’t matter whether I plant it myself or not.”
“But I want rubber, otherwise I won’t cooperate to plant it with the family, and then give me 30% to 40% of the rubber every year, and I will buy it at cost price.”
They didn’t think this rubber was so great before, but after hearing what Liang Youxiao said, everyone instantly felt that this thing must be very useful.
Otherwise, with Liang Youxiao’s cunning personality, how could he directly ask for so much rubber?
Second Young Master Liang asked: “Why do you need so much rubber?”
Liang Youxiao smiled: “I can’t tell you this for the time being.”
He felt that what Shi Qingluo said about transportation cars that can be ridden by oneself would be popular if it was made.
So he should get more rubber for the workshop he will open in the future.
He didn’t think of taking it all for himself. It was good enough that his family allowed him to do business, and it belonged to him.
This kind of thing involves following the Emperor’s lead, let alone other people, and Grandpa will not agree.
Besides, he was now a commoner. Although he has a family background, it was not suitable to be too conspicuous and easy to be targeted.
And he doesn’t want to waste time and effort to send people to find the plant, and then cut rubber, etc. How troublesome it was.
Receiving a ready-made rubber in exchange for the cost price, isn’t much better?
The Liang family: “……”
This kid knows how to make someone’s palm itchy.
But the more this kid was like this, the more profitable would it be.
Old Master Liang can see that his grandson has a plan.
He thought for a while: “40% is too much, let’s just make it 30%.”
“You buy it from my family at the cost price of the rubber.”
Liang Youxiao smiled and nodded immediately, “Okay, 30% is 30%.”
“Grandfather, why don’t we sign a contract?”
Old Master Liang said unhappily: “Are you afraid that I won’t admit it?”
Liang Youxiao replied: “Of course, I trust you.”
He glanced at the people from other families meaningfully: “But I don’t trust the others.”
If the old man was gone in the future, what if these people argued with him?
So it’s better to eliminate the trouble in advance.
Other people in the Liang family: “……”
Who do you look down on?
But although they were unhappy, they didn’t object.
After all, Liang Youxiao got this prescription from Shi Qingluo, so they could accept that he got more benefits.
Although there were conflicts among the families in the family, and the competition for resources was fierce, they were still a family after all.
It’s just that this kid’s temper and behavior were so irritating.
He also likes to show off. He made a lot of money recently, so he shows off everywhere at home. He always wants to buy better things for everything.
When they casually mention a few words, this kid will say “I spend my own money, I am happy”, which was so irritating.
He carries a large stack of silver notes with him, which was worth tens of thousands of taels. No need to mention the younger generation of the Liang family, even the elders were jealous.
He also deliberately shows off the good things given by the old man and the old lady from time to time and squeezes his cousins. He was so bad.
So Liang Youxiao signed a contract with Old Master Liang.

When Xi Rui returned home, he did a similar thing to Liang Youxiao.
Although he didn’t like doing business, he was not a person who would suffer losses.
He also saw the ‘income return’ of rubber, so he also asked Old Master Xi for 30%.
However, he didn’t plan to do anything with it himself but planned to resell it at a high price to make a profit. He thought he was too smart.
Fei Yuzhe of the Fei family also made the same choice. He didn’t do business, but he didn’t mind having a lot of money, so he shared the same idea with Xi Rui.
No wonder, they can become good friends. They have the same ideas without discussing it.
