Farming at the beginning, I rely on business to counterattack and become a princess

Chapter 125
"Although our department store has a big business, but to maintain daily operations, the daily expenditure is actually very large."

Unlike the department store that boasted of its profound background and abundant funds before, shopkeeper Sun began to cry and said tentatively: "2000 taels, we really can't get it out, I can only try to help you get a few hundred taels more, can the girl also back down?" step?"

"2000 taels is nothing more than a drop in the bucket for department stores, but I understand the difficulties of department stores. It depends on your sincerity."

Shopkeeper Sun said with a "sincere" face: "There must be sincerity. We have cooperated for so long, but we have never owed the girl money. We have always got along very happily."

"How much sincerity is the department store?"

Shopkeeper Sun hesitated for a moment, and decided to get straight to the point: "The price is 900 taels, and our owner sincerely invites two of you to join our workshop in the department store. From now on, you will receive a fixed annual salary of 20 taels of silver."

"In this way, you don't have to work hard anymore, isn't it a good match for both of you."

Shopkeeper Sun thought that the brothers and sisters would be happy when they heard the news.

Unexpectedly, Wen Xiang's complexion was gloomy when he heard the cut price.Wen Dao was full of doubts, but he couldn't express it on the spot, so he just bowed his head in silence and pretended to drink tea.

Congratulations, Wen Dao finally learned to hide his true thoughts in front of outsiders.

"900 taels is already the greatest sincerity that a department store can show, and with all due respect to the old man, besides selling your No. [-] toothpaste to our department store, who else can you sell it to?" Shopkeeper Sun said vaguely threat.

Indeed, the positioning of No. [-] toothpaste is too high, and the cost price is about two taels of silver, which is not affordable for ordinary people and wealthy families.

There is no intellectual property rights to speak of here, it's all based on their own abilities, after all, if it continues to drag on until the department store figures out the specific ratio, it won't pay her a dime.

And if Wen Xiang set up a stall on the street to sell it, she would sell it for less than 1000 taels for a long time. She had no other choice but to rely on department stores to realize the mass production and cash flow of No. [-] toothpaste.

The reality is: if the department store eats meat, she can only drink clear soup with little water.

Taking a step back, even if the partner is changed, the two parties will not be able to establish a channel of trust for a while, and the next one may not be better.

At present, it is indeed only subject to the department store. She proposed the "2000 taels" offer, but it is convenient for the two parties to raise prices and bargain on the spot.

Regarding this point, Wen Xiang knew very well that the department store was a giant to her, and she couldn't move it no matter what.

From shopkeeper Sun's threatening words, it can be seen that the department store is definitely in the dark if it is not open.

Therefore, in order to avoid being plotted against, the only way is to submit to one.

Wen Xiang knows very well that only by strengthening one's own strength can one have the confidence to talk and the ability to turn the table.

Now that there has been a estrangement between the two parties, instead of being "passively beaten", it is the best policy to end the cooperative relationship between the two parties as soon as possible.

And she has already decided to give up toothpaste, and by the way, she will also give up the department store. As for the share of No. [-] toothpaste, it all depends on the conscience of the department store.

Although I have made a decision in my heart, Wen Xiang still has to do enough to save face, and must make the department store satisfied without leaving any grudges.

"The distance between 900 taels and my expectation is still relatively large. To be honest, we urgently need a large sum of money to turn over our affairs, otherwise we would not sell the No. [-] toothpaste in a hurry, but ┈┈"

Hearing that money was needed to turn things around, shopkeeper Sun knew it well, thinking that the brothers and sisters wanted to use the money to donate to officials, and thought:
The "collection of codes" is a foregone conclusion. Could it be that you still can't make a comeback? Besides, it's not enough to have money without a way. Otherwise, the money must be gone and the matter will not be done.

Although he disapproved in his heart, he didn't point it out on the surface, just heard that Xiang continued to talk.

Wen Xiang changed the topic: "Shopkeeper Sun has always taken good care of us, and I don't want to make it difficult for you. Since the department stores have shown their sincerity, then I am not a greedy person."

"Actually, my brother plans to go to the academy to re-study, so can the matter of joining the workshop be converted into silver for us?"

"Brother Wen wants to continue taking the exam?" Wen Xiang's move caught Shopkeeper Sun by surprise.

"Ah."

"That's it." Shopkeeper Sun pondered for a moment and asked, "Then which academy is Brother Wen going to go to?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Wen Dao lowered his eyebrows and said pleasingly.

"Hey, there are benefits to taking the exam, but you don't think about it anymore? In fact, there is no conflict between the exam and joining the workshop." Shopkeeper Sun did not give up.

"Thank you for the kindness of Shopkeeper Sun and Mrs. Dong's family. My younger brother just wants to concentrate on studying and not think about him." Wen Dao said seriously.

Shopkeeper Sun thought to himself: You kid, you must have been stimulated by the matter of "saving codes", and you must earn your way to the top.

Shopkeeper Sun said whatever he wanted, but the brothers and sisters were indifferent, so he had no choice but to give up: "Forget it, then I will give you a total of 1000 taels, but you have to promise that this toothpaste can only be sold to our department store, and cannot cooperate with other businesses."

"Okay, no problem." The goal was achieved, Wen Xiang readily agreed, and then made a request, "But I also want a promise."

Shopkeeper Sun raised his eyebrows: "What promise?"

"The transaction between us must be kept secret, and it must not be disclosed to anyone other than you and your wife."

This request is little more than a little effort.

Shopkeeper Sun took out the prepared contract, wrote down the transaction amount, and added Wen Xiang's request.

The two made a deal, signed their signatures and pressed their fingerprints, and paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other.

In the end, Wen Xiang got his wish, shopkeeper Sun was satisfied, and both parties got what they wanted.

After shopkeeper Sun left, Wen Xiang told Wen Dao about the department store's plan to buy out the No. [-] toothpaste and her own thoughts.

Looking at the 1000 taels of silver bills on the table, Wen Dao had mixed feelings in his heart: If it was before, he would never have dared to imagine such a huge sum of money, but now, it is so easy to get.

Wen Xiang's ability and ability are like the sun suddenly appearing in the dark night, radiant and shining, unstoppable.

Compared with Wen Xiang's excellence, Wen Dao feels ashamed.

"Brother, tell me, what can this money be used for?"

If he got such a huge sum of money before, Wen Dao would definitely say, let's buy land, now he has no interest in farming.

"What do you say?"

"If my elder brother doesn't ask, I plan to buy another shop or a few pieces of land in Chengnan County."

"Since we all decided to take the exam again, it doesn't matter whether we buy land or not. You can buy a shop if you like." Wen said it doesn't matter.
