Chapter 197: Qiu Niang
A certain little girl was still feeling smug about having gotten a great deal, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
In the past, she was not sure, but now that they have become partners, she has boarded Jiang Yu's boat and they are now a team.
She, Su Wan, now has her own backer. Who would dare to attack her in the future?
While giggling, she accidentally glanced at the few koi fish she had specially selected in the pond. Since Jiang Yu came, they have become plumper and plumper, which is inseparable from the careful feeding of Young Master Jiang every day.
The next day, Su Wan went to the pawnshop to check out the shops, including the Yuyantang shop, while the Bingjitang shop would be managed by Jiang Yu's people after they arrived. At that time, the title deed would be handed over to her.
After all, the pawnshop was run by the imperial court. If she showed up and got involved with it, it would be easy to find out that she was related to it, and it would not be mysterious at all.
She didn't even plan to tell the Su family about this Bingji Hall, as it was all about keeping it a secret.
A soap shop doesn't need to be too big, what matters is the location.
The shop that Su Wan chose was right across from Madam Xie’s rouge shop, on the most prosperous street.
It cost a total of five hundred taels of silver to buy the shop. It is not very big, only about one hundred square meters. There are two dark rooms in the back, which can be used to entertain guests or for rest, occupying about forty square meters. The remaining sixty square meters is the front hall.
It needs to be renovated to make it more elegant and high-end, especially the signboard of Yuyan Hall, which must be beautiful.
Madam Xie didn't expect that Su Wan would open his own shop so soon. She also earned several hundred taels of silver by following Su Wan. Su Wan also gave her many gifts, and the friendship between the two was established.
Let's first set up the shop in Xiangzhou. As for those county towns, we can use the agency method for the time being. Later, this matter will be handed over to her uncle. Let him choose the shop to open, and she won't have to go there in person.
At the Yuyantang store in Xiangzhou, Su Wan will let Yang Qingqing learn to be the female manager.
From then on, she had to learn how to sell goods, restock, promote sales, and do accounting all by herself.
Su Wan is responsible for checking the accounts, as long as the accounts are correct.
Because the business was good, the demand for goat milk soap was growing. Su Wan gave his uncle twenty taels of silver per month, and his aunt and Yang Qingqing ten taels per month.
After Yang Qingqing became the shopkeeper, she paid a monthly salary of thirty taels.
It took almost a month from the renovation to the selection of the opening date. During this time, Madam Xie took the initiative to tell customers who came to buy soap that if they wanted to buy soap in the future, they could go to the newly opened Yuyantang across the street. There would be an event three days before the opening. When you entered the store, you would get a white goat milk soap for free. When you bought a body soap or hair soap, you would get a dyed goat milk soap for free. There were many benefits.
The people sent by Jiang Yu arrived in Xiangzhou half a month later. He took Su Wan to Yueman West Tower to meet them.
The two of them were in the Tianzihao private room, and more than a dozen women stood respectfully in front of Su Wan.
The leader was a woman in her twenties, and she brought with her twelve young women aged sixteen or seventeen.
"Her name is Qiu Niang, and she will be the shopkeeper of Bingjitang in the future. The people she brings with her are all trustworthy. Before this, Qiu Niang worked under me as the shopkeeper. No matter how cleverly the account books are modified, she can tell where the problems lie after just one look. The people she brings with her are all her apprentices, and they are skilled in identifying various medicinal herbs. There will be no problem letting them work in the workshop and making Jade Face Cream. In addition, they are also proficient in the methods and formulas of various rouges. They came here with sincerity this time."
Su Wan looked at the beautiful woman in front of him named Qiu Niang. She had fiery red lips, smiling lips, phoenix eyes, and every frown and smile of hers was full of charm.
The young women she brought with her also exuded an undeniable heroic aura. They were all about 1.65 meters tall, and none of them was ugly.
"Boss, as a token of sincerity, Qiu Niang has brought a few prescriptions with her this time. Please have a look."
Qiu Niang handed a wooden box to Su Wan. After Su Wan opened it, he found three recipes inside.
The first one is the recipe for hand cream, the second one is the recipe for an affordable beauty cream that is popular on the market, and the third one is the recipe for making Luozidai.
After reading it, Su Wan was very surprised. They were all the secret codes to making money.
The Ice Muscle Jade Bone Cream, plus these recipes, and several ancient beauty recipes she has, will give her a lot more to sell once the Ice Muscle Hall opens in the future.
What's more, she also plans to sell lip balm and other things.
"Are these all for me?" Su Wan looked at Jiang Yu and asked.
"It's for Bingjitang. I'm also the owner of Bingjitang, so naturally I want Bingjitang to make more money so I can earn more."
Jiang Yu played with his new jade ring and replied while leaning lazily on the chaise longue.
"Besides, these are all things they already know. Since they're here to work for you, they should be unreserved. However, since they are so sincere, you can't give them less than the monthly salary you offer. They are very expensive."
After Jiang Yu said this, Qiu Niang laughed. She had been looking at her new boss.
I've heard for a long time that the young master is in love and has a girl he likes. When I saw her today, I found that this sixth girl is very beautiful and extraordinary.
Before coming, she had already learned that the goat milk soap created by the Sixth Girl was very popular in Xiangzhou. She used it once last night and it was indeed a good thing.
It can be seen that these six girls are very special to the young master.
Otherwise, how could he have done such a loss-making business? He even specially transferred her to Xiangzhou to help the Sixth Miss, but in the end he only wanted 30% of the profits.
"No matter how much monthly silver you want, just ask for it. As long as you work hard for me and manage Bingjitang well in the future, I will give you any amount of monthly silver."
They came with sincerity, so Su Wan also had to show sincerity.
"Boss, I used to work under the young master, and my monthly salary was two hundred taels of silver. These sisters I brought with me also used to receive thirty taels of silver per month. We will just stick to the original standard. From now on, all the beauty creams in Bingjitang will be made by us, and we will never outsource them to others. Boss, you can rest assured. From purchasing raw materials to making them, to packaging and selling them, you don't need to worry about it. Qiu Niang will take care of everything. You only need to look at the results. Even if you want to open a branch in the future, you don't need to worry about it. As long as you have this idea, Qiu Niang will arrange everything and you are guaranteed to be satisfied."
The fact that Jiang Yu dared to offer her this amount of monthly salary showed that Qiu Niang did have her own strengths, and when it came to settling accounts in front of her, she was nothing compared to him.
If you calculate carefully, this means that Su Wan has to pay them a monthly salary of 560 taels of silver.
Whether it is worth it or not is up to her to decide.
