MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 551 Set foot on the road to Beijing
Qin Yao originally only wanted to hold a brief meeting to set the task of producing the second batch of ladies' boxes.
Unexpectedly, after a passionate discussion, everyone got unexpected results. The more we chatted, the more excited we became. We didn’t even eat lunch. It wasn’t until the afternoon that everyone was thirsty and exhausted, and then they dispersed with unfulfilled interest.
Now Qin Yao has decided to deliver the second batch of 100 mother-of-pearl lady boxes, and then produce 50 spring version lady boxes and 50 variegated lady boxes at the same time as a hook for the new year.
In addition, a small storybook with pictures of the product was added to the new batch of ladies' boxes to deepen the impression of the ladies' boxes on the noble ladies of Kyoto.
If nothing else happens, with these two operations, the high-end products of the Lady Box series will be able to gain a firm foothold in the capital.
However, Qin Yao is still more concerned about the first batch of payment than this.
Since it was difficult to transport cash in cash, Qiu Yan deducted his own share of the proceeds and the remaining nine thousand taels of silver were all in the form of banknotes. He specially sent his trusted aide to deliver them to Qin Yao in person.
The visitor is also an old acquaintance of Qin Yao.
“I didn’t expect that my boss would send the second shopkeeper here.” Qin Yao said with surprise as she invited Jiang Wen to sit down in the room.
Jiang Wen smiled enviously: "This is only nine thousand taels of silver, and my boss won't feel relieved if I give it to others."
“Speaking of it, our two families have been cooperating for some time. I have never come over to take a look before. This is a good opportunity. I am quite curious about how this lady’s box was made.”
The two of them sat down in the main room. Mrs. Li brought tea and freshly made chicken cakes. They looked ordinary, but the sweet smell made Jiang Wen's eyes light up.
“This is it?” He pointed to the plate of golden and fluffy chicken cake.
Qin Yao explained: "Cake, it's a random snack. It tastes pretty good. You can try it."
“Then I’m not welcome.”
Jiang Wen said you're welcome, but he was really rude. He couldn't hold it with his hands, so he directly held the plate, picked up Li's special silver spoon, scooped out a piece and put it in his mouth to taste.
The first feeling when entering the mouth is that it is fragrant and soft. It is not as soft as pasta, but a kind of cloud-like cotton that melts in the mouth. Jiang Wen has never tried such a taste before and was pleasantly surprised.
Taking a closer look at the taste, it tastes pretty good, it’s simply a fairy!
After eating half the plate in a row, Jiang Wen stopped because he was choking. He took a few sips of tea and finally managed to avoid choking, which made Qin Yao laugh.
“Are you okay?” Qin Yao asked with a smile, looking innocent like I didn't see how embarrassing you are.
Jiang Wen nodded restrainedly, took another spoonful and swallowed it, and then said: "It's not bad."
After the food was eaten and the banknote was delivered, it was time to get down to business.
Qin Yao saw that Jiang Wen was in good spirits, so she took him for a walk around the stationery factory and around the village. Along the way, she told him that she wanted to open a ladies' box store in the capital.
“Special, counter, store?” Because he had never heard of such a word, Jiang Wen was thinking of it word by word, for fear of saying something wrong.
This Liujiacun seemed remote, but there were many new words that he had never heard before.
For example, things like general design, research groups, canteens, working meals, etc. Just now, he thought they were the dialect of this village.
Unexpectedly, the workers in the factory said that they all learned this from their Manager Qin.
It seems that Manager Qin likes to say new words that others don't understand, and I don't know where she learned them.
Qin Yao smiled lightly and said: "Yes, a counter store is a store that specializes in selling ladies' boxes. From reception to after-sales service, it only provides high-end services to buyers of ladies' boxes."
“Of course, we will pay for the money to open the shop, but after all, we are not familiar with the place and are not as well-established as your trading company, so we need a lot of help from the trading company to open this shop.”
Jiang Wen was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Qin Yao looked like she had already planned this, he had to remind her. "Mr. Qin, no one opens a shop and only sells one thing, do you know?"
Qin Yao nodded, "I know, so didn't we make two new products? You, the second shopkeeper, just saw them and were very satisfied with them, right?"
Jiang Wen was stunned. If the color is different, it is called something new?
He felt it was outrageous, but then he thought about it. Cooperating with her was already a very outrageous thing, so it seemed okay to continue to be outrageous.
“It’s not easy to open a shop in the capital. Have you really thought about it?” Jiang Wen reminded seriously.
Qin Yao nodded firmly.
Jiang Wen stared at her suspiciously for a long time, "If the shop opens, it won't be the ladies' box from Fulong Trading Company. Now the ladies in the capital only recognize the ladies' boxes brought by our Fulong Trading Company, and the other ones are all I don’t recognize it.”
Qin Yao smiled lightly, "So I said that our stationery factory would open the store, but the management should be left to your business. We have no experience in serving customers, and we don't dare to run it ourselves."
"Free gift?" Jiang Wen became more and more suspicious of her. Pies in the sky never fall.
Qin Yao shrugged, "Then if I propose the idea of opening a specialty store, will your firm adopt it?"
"The annual rent for a prosperous shop in the capital is 3,000 taels. Not counting decoration and other management expenses, all of which add up. It takes at least 5,000 taels of silver every year to maintain the shop." Jiang Wen was afraid that she didn't know. The accounts were all calculated directly for her.
Of course, it’s a bit of an exaggeration, but it’s not too different.
Qin Yao's smile deepened and she winked at him. Don't forget, she is now carrying nine thousand taels of silver notes.
Moreover, the money they earn now is not only for themselves, but also for the eldest princess behind them.
Jiang Wen's heart sank, "I will tell my boss when I get back."
Qin Yao was satisfied and asked him pleasantly: "When does the shopkeeper plan to go back?"
"Tomorrow morning." He didn't dare to stay in Liujia Village any longer.
Qin Yao said oh, sent him to the entrance of the village, and suddenly said: "Then I will ask Liu Fei to go with you tomorrow. The country boy has never been out of the county. When he gets to the capital, please ask my boss to give me some advice."
Jiang Wen’s eyes widened, his boss hadn’t agreed yet! Don't force yourself into someone like that!
Qin Yao didn't look at him, but gave the horse a whip for him, and shouted "drive" at the same time. The horse was in pain and ran away, taking an angry Jiang Wen into Kaiyang County.
There was no room available at home, and Jiang Wen was too embarrassed to let Jiang Wen squeeze in, so he directly arranged for him to stay for one night at Shopkeeper Fan's restaurant, where he would be served good food and wine, and her account would be charged.
Watching Jiang Wenyuan leave, Qin Yao immediately rushed home and picked up the abacus to calculate the accounts.
9,000 taels of silver notes are not as exciting as a few large boxes of silver. It is light and there is no excitement at all.
After deducting the costs, workers’ bonuses and dividends to the villagers, there is still 7,500 taels left.
Thirty percent of it is 2,250 taels of silver. No matter whether the eldest princess wants this endorsement fee or not, Qin Yao is ready to hand it over voluntarily.
The remaining 5,250 taels of silver are Qin Yao's personal income.
Perhaps all the current needs were basically met, and these more than 5,000 taels of silver could not cause any disturbance in her heart.
But for Liu Fei, who was carrying a huge sum of 7,000 taels in silver and was about to follow Jiang Wen into the city, go to Kyoto, and also go to the princess's house to 'make an offering', the trust given by his third sister-in-law was an unbearable weight in his life!
But it was the capital city, and the high-spirited young people could not help but be fascinated.
Therefore, under the watch of the whole family, Liu Fei embarked on the road to Beijing with a huge sum of money, shouldering the task of opening a store assigned by his third sister-in-law, and the expectation of self-exploration. (End of chapter)
