Chapter 59
"I'm pregnant with the first grandson of the Wu family, and there's no movement in your belly yet. I'd be surprised if you weren't jealous of me!" Ye Fuyun said confidently.
"And the eldest grandson." Ye Fuyue was almost dying of laughter: "You haven't even confirmed whether you are pregnant or not, and you are sure that you are pregnant with the eldest grandson. Okay, if you say you are pregnant, then you are pregnant. If you say you are pregnant with the eldest grandson, then it is the eldest grandson. Congratulations."
Ye Fuyue was too lazy to waste time with her, so she left after saying that.
Ye Fuyun looked at Ye Fuyue's figure walking away with pride.
He was just jealous of her, and he refused to admit it!
…
Ye Fuyue went to the furniture factory.
After the security guard at the door learned the purpose of her visit, the security guard who had been informed by Director Li in advance took her to see Director Li.
On the way, they met Master Wan in the processing plant.
Master Wan saw Ye Fuyue and greeted her with a smile: "Come on, I'll take you to see Director Li."
The security guard then handed Ye Fuyue over to Master Wan and went back to the gate.
Director Li is in the office.
After Master Wan took Ye Fuyue in, he left.
After Director Li and Ye Fuyue exchanged pleasantries, they got straight to the point.
"Master Wan has already explained the general situation to you. Several customers saw the custom-made furniture you designed last time and loved it. They all wanted the same thing. My idea is, let's name a price. Could you sell us the furniture blueprints?"
"Exclusive?" Ye Fuyue asked.
Director Li was stunned and didn't understand what Ye Fuyue meant for a moment.
Ye Fuyue explained, "What I mean is, you want to buy out the furniture blueprints, so I can't sell them to anyone else in the future. Or, you don't want exclusivity, so I can sell the furniture blueprints to your furniture factory or to other furniture factories?"
Director Li frowned and began to think.
His initial thought was simple: he wanted Ye Fuyue to sell the furniture blueprint to their furniture factory so they could mass-produce it and sell it to a few customers. He hadn't considered the issue of exclusivity, nor had he expected Ye Fuyue to consider so much.
Now, after Ye Fuyue's reminder, Director Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Buyout, exclusive."
They weren't the only furniture factory in the city; competition existed among them. Their furniture wasn't particularly competitive to begin with, being roughly the same as other factories'. If other factories also bought Ye Fuyue's furniture blueprints, theirs would have no advantage.
Ye Fuyue wasn't surprised after hearing what Director Li said. She said calmly, "Then the price for a buyout, exclusive, and non-exclusive deal is different."
Director Li nodded: "How much do you want?"
"I want 5% of the furniture sales." Ye Fuyue said.
Director Li frowned immediately when he heard this.
Five percent, that is, if a set of furniture is sold for seventy yuan, Ye Fuyue will get three yuan and fifty cents.
"That won't work. There's no such algorithm. We've never worked with anyone like this before. We can only buy it out in one go."
Ye Fuyue didn't want a one-time buyout. A price too high would have been unacceptable to the furniture factory, while a price too low wouldn't have been worth it. Even before she set foot in the furniture factory, Ye Fuyue had decided she would only accept a percentage of sales revenue.
Three dollars and fifty cents may not seem like a lot, but if sales go up, the money she can get will be considerable.
"A one-time buyout is fine. I want two thousand yuan." Ye Fuyue directly stated her ideal buyout price.
Director Li frowned and looked at her angrily: "Comrade Ye, I am sincerely discussing cooperation with you, please don't play tricks on me."
"I'm not kidding you," Ye Fuyue said seriously. "The buyout price of two thousand yuan is what I think the furniture designs I designed are worth. You can make a profit far more than two thousand yuan with the furniture I designed. Could it be that Director Li sincerely wants to discuss cooperation with me, but is only willing to give me a buyout price of a few hundred yuan? Then you can make back the money you made by selling a few pieces of furniture, and all the profits after that will be the net profit of your furniture factory. Wouldn't I be at a loss? I worked so hard to design the furniture, but in the end I couldn't make any money. How can this be justified?"
Director Li felt a little guilty after hearing what Ye Fuyue said.
He really only planned to buy out Ye Fuyue's design drawings for a hundred or two hundred yuan. In his eyes, a hundred or two hundred yuan was not a small amount; it was nearly a year's salary for many people.
Director Li softened his tone and said, "Two thousand yuan is really too much. The factory definitely won't approve this."
"Then we'll calculate it based on 5% of the sales. I'll get as much money as you sell furniture, so you don't have any cost risk. I'm also confident in the furniture I designed, so there's no need to sell my designs at a low price. If this piece of furniture sells well, I can also design other furniture for you, and the pressure of whether the furniture is novel or good-looking is on me. Because I can only make money if my design is good," said Ye Fuyue.
Director Li was somewhat moved.
It was indeed as Ye Fuyue had said. If we calculated it based on commission based on sales, most of the pressure would indeed be on Ye Fuyue. If the furniture didn't sell well, the factory would suffer losses, and Ye Fuyue wouldn't get any money.
But if they bought out the employees all at once, the factory would lose several hundred yuan. That's why Director Li was only willing to take a buyout of one or two hundred yuan.
So far, four people have inquired about the furniture set, expressing interest in purchasing a single unit. Director Li only wanted to buy out Ye Fuyue's blueprints this time, not considering long-term cooperation. Even if only those four people bought the furniture, after deducting the buyout payment to Ye Fuyue, the factory would at least not lose money. Furthermore, he felt that if the furniture set were sold, he would definitely be able to sell more than four units.
With this calculation, if calculated based on the commission of sales, even if only those four people bought that set of furniture, the factory would only need to give Ye Fuyue 14 yuan. Not only did it not lose money, it also made a lot of money.
Director Li, having figured it out, now felt that Ye Fuyue's proposed commission calculation was extremely beneficial to the factory. Director Li even thought Ye Fuyue was stupid and would be better off taking the 100-200 yuan buyout and resting easy.
Director Li concealed his joy and said to Ye Fuyue, "Please sit here for a while. I need to discuss this with our factory director."
"Okay." Ye Fuyue smiled obediently.
She felt that the director of the furniture factory would definitely agree, otherwise Director Li's mouth corners would not have been able to help but curl up a little bit more.
Maybe Director Li and the factory manager would think she was stupid and that the furniture factory was taking advantage of her.
Little did they know that Ye Fuyue was playing the long game to catch a big fish.
She was confident that the furniture she designed would sell well.
Even if she doesn't make much money from a set of furniture, if she provides more design drawings to the furniture factory, the money she can earn will increase like a snowball.
