Qin Yao put the box on her shoulder and declined with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, General, but I am not interested in going to the capital now."
This answer was expected, so Mu Ling didn't feel disappointed. He smiled at Qin Yao and said, "When you want to go, remember to come find me."
Qin Yao nodded, "Definitely."
The two arrived at the door of the official residence. The female soldier led the carriage over. Qin Yao put the wooden box on it and clapped her hands. The mission was completed.
Wang Jin entered the carriage with his meager luggage, leaned out of the window and solemnly clasped his fists towards Qin Yao: "See you again if we are lucky!"
Qin Yao nodded and sincerely wished the two of them a safe journey.
Mu Ling curled his lips into a smile, waved his hand, and the group gradually walked away.
Qin Yao stood at the door of the official residence and watched for a while before returning to her room to catch up on her sleep.
Without the burden, I slept particularly comfortably in the second half of the night.
At daybreak, Qin Yao checked out and left, driving her own carriage and taking the ladies' box straight to the Fulon Commercial Bank branch.
Qiu Yan had known about her entry into the city for a long time. After all, the famous scene of "officers and soldiers serving candied haws" at the city gate that day had shocked the whole city, so it would have been hard for her not to know about it.
This new version of the ladies' box has been continuously improved by the members of the R&D team, and has a huge difference from the first version.
Whether it is the style, materials, or internal division details, there has been a qualitative improvement.
The box body is made of relatively strong and light expensive wood. The inner box is made of special light pink checkered cloth. The handle is changed to leather finish, and the lock is made of carefully selected light-colored jade of uniform color.
The paint is applied with seven layers to create a crystal-clear effect, and the hand-painted patterns on the box surface have also become mother-of-pearl inlays, making it even more luxurious.
What’s even more ingenious is the design of the entire box, which breaks away from the conventional square system and is made into a horizontal box style.
Such a finished product is placed before your eyes like a fine work of art, pleasing to the eye.
Qiu Yan took the cotton gloves handed to her by Qin Yao and put them on her hands. Only then did she dare to touch the box and carefully feel its delicateness.
On the surface, these are relatively common elements of luxury, but what surprised Qiu Yan was the pink diamond lattice veneer inside.
If he was not mistaken, there were some hand-embroidered cursive characters on the diamond pattern.
But the characters looked strange, like Sanskrit, or Arabic numerals from the Western Regions, and he couldn't recognize them.
Qin Yao took the initiative to explain: "This is the brand logo. It is a cursive font designed by the designer Qiao Yun's first letter Q and my first letter Q. It is called the Double Q Logo for short."
As she spoke, seeing Qiu Yan's confused eyes and wanting to ask in detail what uppercase and lowercase letters were, Qin Yao quickly raised her hand to stop her:
"It doesn't matter whether there are letters or not. The owner just needs to know that the logo of our lady's box is difficult to copy, because our R&D members have also made some exclusive anti-counterfeiting measures in it."
The first is the embroidery thread, which contains dyeing minerals unique to the Zijing Prefecture and cannot be produced in large quantities in other places.
The second is the double Q logo. Each lady's box will have nine double Qs embroidered in other ways on the interior, and the distribution will correspond to the unique number of each lady's box, greatly improving the recognition.
Finally, the authentic products are sold directly by Fulong Trading Company, no semicolon.
With these means, we can deal with at least 90% of the woodworking factories on the market.
As for the remaining 10%, it will depend on consumer stickiness.
"We need to make this brand famous, establish in-depth relationships with Fulong Commercial Bank, and then look for some celebrity stories in ancient books to create a high-end classic product in all aspects."
Qin Yao spoke for a long time in one breath, and it was unknown how much Qiu Yan could understand. Anyway, they could discuss the things they didn't understand in detail later. The most urgent thing was whether to do this business or not.
Qin Yao drank the cold tea in the cup in one breath, wiped her mouth proudly, raised her eyebrows and asked:
"Have you thought it through, Boss? If you have, I think we can settle this matter today."
Qiu Yan was a little excited. The last time he felt this kind of passionate urge to do something big was when he was eighteen years old and just took over the family business.
Unfortunately, it took a lot of effort to preserve the ancestral foundation in the chaotic times.
Now that it has the appreciation of a master behind it, the entire business can stand out and become the number one business in Zijing Prefecture.
But to maintain a stable position, you also need to have real skills to show off.
Looking at the gorgeous lady's box in front of her, Qiu Yan felt a strong sense that she must not let it go.
He raised his eyes to look at Qin Yao, and said in a low voice, "Do it, and do it to the best of your ability!"
Qin Yao raised her hand and Qiu Yan slapped it together. With a crisp "pop" sound, the deal was done. The two smiled at each other, both very excited.
Qiu Yan asked: "What is the price?"
According to his thinking, since there was already a fixed cooperation model before, this time should be the same as before.
Even if there are some modifications, it's basically the same.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yao said: "I will set the price, I will make the goods, I will pay you and buy your distribution channels."
Then he made a direct offer, "10% of the total sales amount will be given to Fulong Company as a commission. For every 1,000 ladies' boxes sold, the fee to your company will be increased by 1%, with a maximum of 30%."
Seeing Qiu Yan's frown getting tighter and tighter, Qin Yao added: "The price of a lady's box is one hundred taels of silver, so the method I mentioned is actually the best for your company."
Otherwise, even if Fulong Trading Company emptied its savings, it would not be able to order a thousand ladies' boxes.
According to Qin Yao's calculations, for every lady's box sold, Fulong Trading Company could earn at least ten taels of silver, and at most thirty taels of silver.
Compared with the original order-and-ship model, the new plan is obviously more reliable. Coupled with the complete marketing plan provided by Qin Yao, it is a business that is sure to make a profit.
On the other hand, once Shi Nu Xia and Fulong Trading Company are deeply bound together, there will be a great risk of the stationery factory being monopolized.
Of course, Qin Yao’s purpose goes far beyond this.
This is just the first step in her plan.
When the stationery factory's original capital has accumulated to a certain level, the best solution would be to acquire the entire Fulon Trading Company.
However, it is too early to say this now. After all, this is just a long-term strategic arrangement that she habitually makes, and it is still unknown how long the business can last.
As far as the current situation between the two parties is concerned, Fulon Trading Company is the largest Party A.
The plan she proposed was to maximize the benefits for the stationery factory, so she didn't mind leaving Fulong Company with an innocent and harmless appearance that could be "taken away cleanly".
Hearing the high price of one hundred taels, Qiu Yan was shocked at first, and then fell into deep thought.
Putting aside the outrageous price of one hundred taels, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this profit distribution plan would actually bring more benefits than disadvantages to Fulon Trading Company.
So he couldn't understand why Qin Yao did this, and always felt that there was something fishy about it.
Qin Yao would not let him think too long, and stood up and asked impatiently: "Boss, please give me a definite answer. I am also tired and I am going to go back and find an inn to rest."
"I've been busy doing hard labor following the Censor these days, and I'm pretty tired." Qin Yao rubbed his temples pretending to be tired.
