There was a drizzle in the sky. As soon as it was light in the morning, Qin Yao put on a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat and rode out of the village.
Liu Ji stood on the flat ground outside his house like a servile man, watching him from afar until he disappeared from sight. Then he jumped happily into the house.
When he thought that Qin Yao had not been home for several days and that he was now the eldest in the family, Liu Ji covered his mouth and almost laughed out loud.
When he weighed the two taels of silver she gave him when she left, his eyes were curved with smile.
Qi Xianguan was sitting in the main room reading a book with a candle lit. When he saw the petty look of someone in the yard, he shook his head helplessly and said, "When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey will become king."
It was a rainy day and the sky was gray all day. Qin Yao rode at full speed and arrived at Gao Yicheng's inn at noon.
After a short rest, he had a meal with Gao Yichen, bought some dry food, and set off again. After running for an afternoon, at dusk, he arrived at the ruined Taoist temple where everyone had met before.
Qin Yao didn't expect that the old horse under her was so powerful. When she was sleeping alone in the Taoist temple at night, and when she went into the mountains to hunt for her own meals, she also cut a large bundle of fresh grass for Lao Huang.
A man and a horse, gathered around a warm fire, one eating grass, the other chewing meat, and they were eating so deliciously.
There was no rain that night, so Qin Yao leaned between the horse's belly and the broken wall and slept all night with a thin quilt.
When I woke up the next day, I felt sore in my back and waist. I was stunned for a long time. I didn't expect that I, who could sleep in the ruins before, couldn't get used to sleeping outside the bed now.
After a moment, he smiled again, picked up the bow and arrow, led Lao Huang, and walked out of the Taoist temple with brisk steps. He decided not to rush on the way back and went into the town to stay in an inn.
This place was less than half a day's ride from the city center on a fast horse. Qin Yao slowed down and passed through a village. She first bought a simple meal from a farmer's house to fill her stomach, and then fed the horse in the grass by the roadside. It was almost noon, so she sped up to rush to the city center.
As soon as she arrived at the city gate, a clerk from the Fulong Trading Company came to greet her. It seemed that they knew she would arrive at this time and came to greet her specially.
"Manager Qin, my second manager and two team managers are waiting in the VIP building. I have specially sent you here to take you there." The waiter said politely.
Qin Yao thanked him for his hard work, led the horse to check the pass documents and entered the city smoothly, and followed the man to the VIP building.
The waiter did not take her to the private room, but asked the restaurant waiter to take her to the guest room to wash up first, and then he went to report.
Seeing this attitude, Qin Yao already knew that the order for the second batch of magical book boxes should be coming soon.
She washed her face and wiped the sweat off her face in the guest room, then changed into a clean light blue dress, let her messy hair down and tied it into a bun again, and put on the pair of silver-inlaid green jade bracelets that the Qi family had given her.
There was no mirror in the guest room. Qin Yao applied a light layer of rouge on her lips in front of the washbasin to enhance her complexion. She took a sip, dressed herself neatly, and then opened the door to go out.
When we arrived at the lobby, the waiter from before immediately ran down from the second floor stairs, "Manager Qin, please go upstairs."
Qin Yao nodded and followed him to the private room on the second floor. Liu Bo, who was inside the room, heard the footsteps and immediately opened the door to greet them.
The two met, nodded and exchanged glances. Seeing Liu Bo smiling, Qin Yao also breathed a sigh of relief.
After entering the room, Jiang Wen stood up and clasped his fists. Qin Yao returned the greeting and of course they exchanged a few polite words before sitting down.
"Where's Liu Fei?" Qin Yao asked in confusion. The waiter who had just led the way said that both of them were in the private room, but now only Liu Bo was there.
Liu Bo explained: "The people in the convoy asked me to go over and take a count, so I sent him over."
Qin Yao said she understood, and then asked Jiang Wen with a smile, "How are the first two batches of book boxes selling?"
Jiang Wen smiled lightly and said, "It's not bad, it's not bad. The branches in various places will get a share of it and sell it."
What a nice word, it feels so forced.
Qin Yao said, "That's good. I'm hungry. How about we eat first? I think the food is getting cold."
Jiang Wen raised his hand and made a gesture for him to eat. Qin Yao was no longer polite and picked up the chopsticks to start eating.
She was really hungry. She had eaten whatever she wanted on the road without caring about whether she was full or not. Now that the hot food was in front of her, of course she had to reward her stomach.
Liu Bo smiled politely at Jiang Wen, "Please come in, Manager Jiang!"
Jiang Wen said he wasn't hungry, but he ate a little bit with them, two chopsticks of small dishes as a token of respect, and then put them down and asked tentatively:
"When does Chief Steward Qin plan to go back?"
Qin Yao ate the food without looking up, "Pay the balance, sign the new order and leave."
Jiang Wen laughed helplessly, and after a long laugh, he replied, "Okay."
After waiting for a while, when Qin Yao was almost full, he asked, "Did Manager Qin bring the accountant? It will take a while to check the accounts. I'm afraid it will take some time."
Qin Yao thought to herself, could you please just say what you want to say?
He put down his chopsticks with a snap, took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, drank two sips of tea to freshen his mouth, and under Jiang Wen's vigilant gaze, he said:
"The balance is two thousand taels of silver. There's no need to count it. The extra bookcases are my gifts to your company."
"How much do you want to place for the new order? Tell me a number. I'll ask someone to write a new contract tomorrow. A 30% deposit will be paid in advance, and the final payment will be made after the goods are delivered. Isn't it better to be clear like this?" Qin Yao asked with a smile.
".Of course it's good." Jiang Wen was speechless.
The final payment cannot be delayed for a single day, and the new deposit cannot be less than a penny.
Liu Bo lowered his head and smiled. It would be his third brother's wife who would have to come in person to collect the debt.
However, this time, Fulong Commercial Bank seemed to be in a bad situation. When Jiang Wen came to pay the next day, his face was gloomy.
However, Qin Yao still got the balance of two thousand taels of silver.
Jiang Wen then handed over a new contract document, which contained a list of two thousand magical book boxes for a total amount of eight hundred taels of silver, and specified that a thirty percent deposit, two hundred and forty taels, must be paid in advance.
The delivery date is late October.
Jiang Wen handed over a small box containing two hundred and forty taels of deposit.
This order is much smaller than Qin Yao expected. It seems that Fulon Trading Company is in trouble.
Without the raw materials for the magical book boxes as the bulk, we have less materials and the cost increases. The cost of the stationery gift boxes also increases accordingly. I am afraid that we won’t be able to make a profit of more than a few dozen taels even if we sell at a low profit margin.
But Qin Yao still took all the money first. She was not qualified to worry about the difficulties of the big commercial bank now. She had her own difficulties. There were so many people in the factory waiting for their wages, and the new production line had to be laid out. She was lucky to get the balance back in one lump sum.
No matter how few new orders there are, you can still make some money.
Without saying much, Qin Yao signed the new order and invited Jiang Wen to dinner. After the two of them finalized the details, they left.
Behind closed doors, Liu Bo and Liu Fei stared at the banknotes in Qin Yao's hand and couldn't help laughing.
"Third sister-in-law, will everyone get a reward when we go back?" Liu Fei asked expectantly.
Qin Yao smiled and nodded: "Well, reward!"
After seeing off the two brothers who were full of expectations, the smile on Qin Yao's face disappeared instantly.
I don't know if the Divine Power Book Box can last long.
But it was useless to think too much now. She should finish the current matter first. Tomorrow she would go to Shopkeeper Fang to buy raw materials, which would consume a lot of her brain cells. (End of this chapter)
