After thinking for a while, Lin Yan'an opened the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile, "One hundred coins is fine, but Miss Jiang must provide me with a method on how to better make a name for myself in the circles of those ladies and young ladies."
Although their Huichuntang shops were all over the Great Jin Dynasty, their reputation among those pharmacies was not great, and they were always overshadowed by Baozhitang, and their business was not as good as theirs.
The soap business was able to proceed smoothly for two reasons: first, the product was new and the people at Baozhitang couldn't understand it or know the ingredients; second, the news came from the circle of ladies and young women, catching Baozhitang off guard.
If he uses the same method this time, he will definitely be thwarted.
The people at Baozhitang made a mistake once, so they will definitely try to obstruct and smear this time.
Jiang Yimian raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes as she looked at Lin Yan'an. She felt that this guy was different from when she first met him; he didn't seem so stupid anymore.
The original plan to provide Huichuntang with only one hundred coins each suddenly changed.
She simply smiled and said, "Since Young Master Lin is a businessman, he should know that the way to make a name for oneself is the same as this soap recipe."
She wouldn't work for someone for free.
Lin Yan'an paused in his hand, which was holding a folding fan, and said through gritted teeth, "Miss Jiang, don't worry, I won't take your method for nothing. I will definitely reward you."
This wicked girl still loves money as much as ever.
Although Huichuntang's business is not as good as Baozhitang's, it is still one of the top pharmacies. When people heard that they could cooperate with them, their eyes lit up, and they couldn't wait to get on Huichuntang's big ship.
This guy is something else, he has a whole set of conditions, and he's absolutely not hesitant to ask for money.
Jiang Yimian simply smiled and shook her head, "I don't want any reward."
Lin Yan'an was taken aback, then immediately snapped his folding fan shut and asked happily, "What would Miss Jiang like?"
He thought this guy would ask for an exorbitant amount, saying he didn't want any payment. Then what did he want? Could it be…?
Take him!
Lin Yan'an was so frightened that he immediately clutched his chest and said in horror, "Don't think that just because you saved me last time you can expect me to repay you with my body. No, that's impossible. I'll give you money. Don't try anything with me."
He knew he was good-looking and from a good family, and many young ladies had a crush on him, but he had no intention of getting married now, not even to his savior!
Jiang Yimian: ...
What is this idiot saying?!
She took back what she had said about him changing; the fool in front of her was still the same as when she first met him—an ordinary, rich but foolish young master.
Zhang Qingquan couldn't bear to look at the young master directly, and silently felt ashamed in his heart.
This young master is usually a foolish rich playboy who only occasionally shows his intelligence in business. I was hoping that he could keep up the act during this business negotiation, but he was exposed so easily.
Jiang Yimian couldn't stand the horrified look in his eyes and said calmly, "Young Master Lin is overthinking it. I don't like just anyone."
I want 10% of the profit from soap making.
Lin Yan'an was still wondering what she meant by the first half of her sentence when he suddenly heard the next sentence. He was so shocked that he stood up from his chair. "You, you, what are you thinking! This is my Huichuntang business. How could I possibly give you 10% of the profit?"
He must be crazy to agree to that.
How can you expect to give away 10% of the profits when you don't even know the specific sales figures for the new soap?
Jiang Yimian didn't insist. She knew that asking for 10% of the profits was a bit much, and the other party's disagreement was within her expectations.
But her method will definitely make Huichuntang a fortune and make it famous in the Great Jin Dynasty. At the very least, it will make the ladies and young women in the circle think of Huichuntang when they want to buy something in the future.
She felt it would be a huge loss to give the method to the other party in such a one-off deal.
After thinking for a while, she continued, "Young Master Lin can consider what I have to say. You can come to me anytime when you have figured it out. We can put the new soap issue aside for now, and we'll sign contracts for the other soaps as we agreed before."
Lin Yan'an nodded and ordered someone to bring out the contract that had already been drafted.
Jiang Yimian carefully read through the contract and only signed it after confirming that there were no problems.
Zhang Qingquan breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the contract. He no longer needed to worry about other shops selling soap, as it was unique to their Huichuntang shop.
The thought of surpassing Baozhitang in this regard made him feel very comfortable, so he sent Xiao Liang with Jiang Yimian to get the soap.
When Xiao Liang arrived at their destination with a few people, he couldn't help but twitch his lips. "Miss Jiang, you're really carefree. Why did you leave so many soaps in this alley? What if someone notices them? Maybe we should have Huichuntang's people pick up the goods from you in the future."
Jiang Yimian just nodded silently; it wasn't that she placed it there on purpose.
There were simply too many soaps; not only could they not fit in the basket, but they were also too heavy, so she had no choice but to put them in her spatial storage, saying only that she had brought them this morning.
This didn't arouse much suspicion from Xiao Liang. After all, Miss Jiang hadn't signed a contract with Huichuntang yet, and bringing so many things over would not only attract attention but also be unsafe.
No one would have thought of putting it here.
Jiang Yimian made an agreement with the people from Huichuntang to pick up the goods every ten days, and left after receiving the fourteen taels of silver this time.
Seeing that the person had left, Zhang Qingquan looked at the person beside him who had been silent and seemed to be thinking. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Young Master, what do you think of Miss Jiang's offer of a 10% profit?"
If Miss Jiang's method can truly make Huichuntang famous and earn a fortune, as the other party claims, then he is actually inclined to agree.
If they can really make a lot of money, it will further enhance Huichuntang's reputation, and a 10% profit from soap is nothing.
Lin Yan'an did not react, still frowning and remaining silent.
Zhang Qingquan had no choice but to call out again, "Young Master, what have you thought about it?"
Startled by the noise, Lin Yan'an rubbed his aching ears before regaining his senses. He said irritably, "Why are you making such a loud noise? My ears are going to go deaf."
Zhang Qingquan was helpless and was about to ask again when he heard someone next to him mutter, "What do you mean by not liking people easily? Am I not handsome enough, or not rich enough? Why can't people like me?"
When he was in the prefectural city, he could go out casually and his carriage would be covered with sachets, not to mention the many admiring glances he received.
It's just that this person who only cares about money doesn't like him; he's very popular!
Zhang Qingquan: ...
What exactly does he expect from this silly young master?
Fortunately, Lin Yan'an didn't dwell on the matter any further, only frowning and asking, "Where are the new products Miss Jiang brought?"
He needs to think carefully about the 10% profit margin.
Zhang Qingquan was taken aback, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Miss Jiang has taken her away."
Lin Yan'an: ...
This guy turned on me way too quickly; he wouldn't even let me look at the samples more than a few times without my consent.
