Qiu Yan gritted her teeth and asked, "Do you have any other requests?"

For example, you want to borrow money from him to build a factory.

Qin Yao smiled faintly. She had the money now, but there was a detail that she needed to explain to him clearly.

"If Fulong Company cannot launch the Lady's Box, it would be reasonable for me to find another company to cooperate with, right?"

Qiu Yan narrowed her eyes slightly, "Now in Zijing Mansion, my Fulong Company is the strongest. If even we can't be pushed out, let alone other companies."

Qin Yao still smiled faintly, "But there is more than just Zijing Mansion in this world."

After the voice fell, seeing Qiu Yan's face was a little embarrassed, Qin Yao immediately said again, "But I believe that with the strength of Fulong Commercial Bank, the cooperation between our two companies will definitely make the ladies' box a big seller!"

"Of course." Qiu Yan finally had a smile on her face. Seeing that Qin Yao was tired, she told her that she could go to the guest room in the backyard to rest first, and she would ask someone to draft the contract and then call her to check it.

Qin Yao didn't hesitate to thank him and followed the shop assistant to the backyard to rest.

Qiu Yan was very quick and the contract was ready when Qin Yao woke up from her nap.

After the two of them verified it on the spot, they each put their seals on it and ran to the government office to find a middleman to act as a guarantor while it was still early. The contract took effect on the spot.

Before they parted, Qiu Yan couldn't help but say one more sentence: "If Madam Qin is having trouble, just ask. I will not refuse within my ability."

There was a hint of temptation in the look he gave Qin Yao.

He was really curious about how much silver she had and whether she could make such an elegant lady's box.

According to the agreement, the stationery factory will hand over 100 ladies' boxes to the business before the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, so that they can make their debut in the capital during the Mid-Autumn Festival and create momentum.

Qiu Yan was able to calculate the stationery factory's profits, so she could also calculate the portion in Qin Yao's hands.

But he didn't know that Qin Yao had made a lot of extra money, and had participated in fundraising and shareholding activities after returning to the village, so he was naturally unsure.

Qin Yao said seriously: "Don't worry, I will deliver the agreed quantity on time and with guaranteed quality."

After hearing her words, Qiu Yan finally felt relieved. She returned to the company that night and immediately summoned all the managers to start building momentum for the debut of the Lady's Box.

Qin Yao also did not stop for a moment. As soon as she got the contract, she returned immediately the next day.

Without Wang Jin, the journey was extremely safe.

However, when Qin Yao arrived at Liujia Village, she suddenly received a letter from Qiu Yan.

The letter clearly told Qin Yao that a big shot had threatened Fulon Trading Company to cut off all business dealings with Liujiacun Stationery Factory.

However, all of these had been resolved by Qiu Yan, who told Qin Yao to give birth to the Lady's Box without worrying too much, as the two Lady's Boxes she had left in the city were already on the way to the capital.

Because of the beautiful misunderstanding before, Qiu Yan secretly asked Qin Yao a few questions whether she was still in contact with Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows. Sometimes she felt that she was quite thick-skinned and did not want to clarify this beautiful misunderstanding.

Especially now that she is being targeted by a big shot, if she doesn't borrow the name of the eldest princess, the stationery factory will be in danger.

So he took out the token that Mu Ling had given him earlier, printed it on white paper with ink, and asked Liu Bo's convoy to take it to the provincial capital.

When Qiu Yan saw the rubbing pattern on the reply letter, she felt relieved.

For now, he could only continue to mediate with that important figure, and everything just had to wait for the Censor to arrive in the capital.

However, a mad dog that knows it is about to die is likely to bite people randomly, and Qiu Yan is under a lot of pressure.

On the contrary, Qin Yao's side was deeply traumatized by several rounds of team annihilation, and for a while, no one dared to show up and provoke her.

In addition, there is Song Zhang in Kaiyang County, so Qin Yao will be safe as long as he does not leave Kaiyang County.

Putting aside the secret struggles among the upper echelons, Qin Yao devoted herself to the overall upgrade of the stationery factory.

However, with Song Yu as a professional assistant, Qin Yao only needs to worry about two things.

First, money.

The second thing is money!

However, the former is her own money, and the latter is the money for investment and fundraising.

On the second day after returning to Liujia Village from the provincial capital, Qin Yao held a shareholder meeting in the ancestral hall in the evening when the villagers had finished their dinner.

Due to the limited cultural level of the villagers, who at most knew 100 to 200 words from the literacy class at the stationery factory, it would take some time for them to understand what Qin Yao said about fundraising, dividends, and equity investment.

So three days later, Qin Yao held another discussion meeting to solicit opinions from all villagers and answer their questions.

Out of blind trust in Qin Yao, most of the villagers at the meeting expressed their desire to join. However, when they heard Qin Yao say that it would take five taels of silver to buy one share, they were so scared that their faces changed drastically.

But there are always smart people. The situation of the stationery factory is obvious to everyone. Just look at the newly built big house and the newly purchased farm of Carpenter Liu.

Five taels of silver is actually not too much, and a family can pool together to get it.

If it doesn't work, you can sell one or two acres of land.

If the bitter melons in the field where there is no soil are ripe.

When Yin Le and the children excitedly ran into the house holding two pieces of smashed watermelon, Qin Yao was counting the silver in her hand.

You really don’t know until you calculate it. Once you calculate it, you will be shocked.

She actually had two thousand one hundred taels of silver in her hand!

This does not include the revenue of 650 taels from the book box order from Fulong Trading Company and the revenue of 240 taels from the stationery gift boxes from Bai Shan.

Two hundred and fifty taels of silver were also retained in the stationery factory as working capital.

By this calculation, the money needed to upgrade the stationery factory and prepare for the construction of a new factory building is not a big pressure, and it can even be said to be easy.

Because according to Song Yu's account, the investment in the lady's box only needs an additional 1,200 taels.

One hundred taels of the money was used to upgrade the factory building, and the remaining one thousand one hundred taels was all for purchasing materials - to purchase the embroidery room and jade processing workshop in the county.

After this calculation, Qin Yao felt more at ease about the comprehensive upgrade of the factory.

Just then, a sweet scent of watermelon wafted over, and my whole body and mind felt delighted.

Dalang held the half watermelon he had smashed and handed it to her, saying excitedly, "Mother, the watermelons in the field are ready to eat!"

Sanlang and Si Niang were drooling with greed, staring at the other half of the red melon in their second brother's hand, waiting for their mother to give the order so that they could take a bite.

It was the first time that Yin Le saw the true appearance of a bitter melon. Although it smelled strange, he still had doubts about its spotted rind. "Master, is this bitter melon really that delicious?"

Qin Yao put down the abacus and stood up, motioning for everyone to follow. They went to the kitchen and asked Li to bring a kitchen knife. Qin Yao cut the two halves of the melon into even small slices with a few strokes.

She picked it up and took a bite first. The rich sweet juice burst in her mouth, bringing a touch of coolness to her heart in this hot summer day.

Just one word: "Awesome!"
