Chapter 87 Cooperation
Jinsui nodded and said, "That's fine, but let's check the quality first. Why do you have so much scrap metal at home?"
Yan Wugui waved his fan and said, “My brother is far-sighted and has been quietly buying up scrap metal on the market over the years.
I sent someone to ask him, and he said that if you want, he can trade with you, but not in cash."
Jinsui was happy at first, because Yan Jiu was a very friendly person and a real wealthy man.
But not asking for cash would be a bit troublesome. Are you worried about getting burned by the Zheng family's money? "What did your brother say he wanted?"
"I want this..."
As he spoke, he took out two porcelain bottles from his sleeves and placed them carefully on the table. They were the lipstick and perfumed ointment that Jinsui had given to Yan Shier Niang.
"What's the meaning?"
"My brother said that this product will be sought after by the noble ladies of Chang'an. My Yan family can cooperate with King Li. You provide the formula and half of the capital, and we provide the labor and raw materials. We will build a workshop together to produce these."
Now it was Jin Sui's turn to be surprised. He had never thought that Yan Jiu had such a business mind and was really far-sighted! There was no woman who didn't like cosmetics. The top-grade rouge and powder of this era came from Jiangnan and were sold at a very high price. Some of them were more expensive than gold. Even the ladies in Chang'an were scrambling to buy them.
No wonder the Yan family could become the number one aristocratic family in Yanzhou. With Yan Jiu's foresight and initiative, the Yan family would certainly be able to develop.
"As long as you are willing, our Yan family can immediately send you ten thousand jin of iron!"
"Ten thousand jin? That's not enough!"
"Haha, we have cooperated, and there will naturally be follow-up."
Jin Sui touched her chin. She had wanted to run her own business before, but now she was short of manpower, the border town did not have the conditions to produce cosmetics, and there were a number of enemies eyeing her covetously.
Being able to partner with the Yan family means finding a reliable ally, so why not do it! Jin Sui nodded: "Okay! I agree! Cheng Zhubo, you write the contract, and I and Master Yan will sign the agreement."
Yan Shiyilang took the porcelain bottle back with a smile: "Shier Niang told me not to throw away any of the bottles. She treats them as treasures!"
Jin Sui smiled and said, "I still have many new product formulas here. When they are produced in the future, they will be given priority to Miss Yan."
After finishing the business, Yan Shiyilang relaxed: "The Yan family will arrange for someone to deliver the ironware. Your people should not enter the city. I don't want the Zheng family to find out that we have close contacts."
"The Zheng family is like crazy people, biting whoever they catch, and running around everywhere to oppose you."
Jin Sui was surprised: "You told me so innocently?"
Yan Shiyi spread his hands and said, "Am I afraid of the Zheng family? Besides, no one in Yanzhou wants to form an alliance with him right now. Everyone knows that you, the King of Li, are not easy to mess with."
The Zheng family is pretending to be crazy, but the King of Li is a real madman! After Cheng Yu wrote two copies of the agreement, Yan Shiyi asked the housekeeper he brought with him to read it, and both parties signed and sealed it.
Yan Shiyi specifically asked Jin Sui to use two seals, 'Li Da Wuxian Wang' and 'Jun Yanqing'.
After finishing his work, Jin Sui wanted to go to the blacksmith to check on the progress, but Yan Shiyi stopped him: "Don't go, there are other things!"
"What's the matter? If you want to eat fish ball noodles, go to the restaurant and eat it yourself. I don't provide meals here."
"I have. I had a bowl right after I got into town."
Jinsui: ...
If this was my brother, I would have kicked him a long time ago. Is he so unreliable? You went to eat noodles before discussing such an important cooperation?
Take a deep breath: "Anything else?"
Yan Shiyi ran to look through the housekeeper's box and took out a box of silver: "One thousand taels, ten copies of your money-making books."
"A money-making book?"
"I sell my brother a book for 10,000 taels, and sell others a book for 100 taels. Is there such an expensive book in the world? If it's not a scam, what kind of book is it?"
When it comes to giving nicknames, you're on par with Black Tiger.
"Didn't you ask my sister to help you sell books? Don't say you forgot! My sister went home so sad that she couldn't eat or sleep."
"You're still attending tea parties everywhere to sell your money-making book! You don't think ten copies are too few, do you? I'm telling you, if it weren't for my sister, you wouldn't be able to sell a single copy!"
Jin Sui was touched and said, "It's amazing that Miss Yan still remembered this. We agreed that I would give her a commission of ten taels of silver for every copy I sold."
Yan Shiyi said disdainfully: "I don't care about your ten taels of silver! Bring me the book first."
Jin Sui took out ten books for him. He flipped through them quickly and pointed at the title page and said, "Use the seal quickly. Do you think people really value your book and buy it just for the seal?"
Jin Sui used the seal of 'Li Da Wuxian Wang' speechlessly, feeling sad for the ignorance of the Yanshi dandy boy.
Yan Jiu went back to his family to teach the Thirty-Six Stratagems, but you still haven't realized the importance of this book.
Yan Shiyi was not interested, but Jinsui still asked him to take Twelve Niang's share back. He also took out a glass jar of energy bars from the space and gave it to Twelve Niang.
It was obvious that the latter gift pleased Yan Shiyi more: "How much is this brown sugar?"
Jin Sui shook his head: "No! Only my friends can receive my gifts."
"You never sent me one."
"Are you my friend?"
Yan Shiyi was stunned again and asked the housekeeper to put these things away. He was still reluctant to leave.
Jin Sui asked impatiently: "What else do you have to say? Can't you finish it all at once?"
"Here's a small matter. I want to ask you about the mirror you sold to Jin Zilin..."
"No more. I only have two sides. The other one was given to Miss Yan."
Yan Shiyi admired King Li for this. Although he seemed greedy for money, he gave the gift of five thousand taels of silver as soon as he said so.
That is why the eldest brother said that the King of Li is not as greedy as he appears, and there is no need to worry about doing business with him getting into dirty trouble over money.
"I don't want a mirror. I'm asking if you have anything more valuable than that precious mirror? I'll buy it!"
After further questioning, Jin Sui learned that the playboys in Yan have always had the tradition of competing for treasures on August 15th, and the girls compete for lanterns.
The young masters were competing for treasures in Baoxiang Tower. The treasures were of all kinds, ranging from ordinary gold, silver and jewelry to even the Ferghana horses and the most beautiful woman in Yangzhou.
The Mid-Autumn Festival this year has not arrived yet, but the news has already spread throughout the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan. The first winner must be Jin Zilin, because he bought a magic mirror from King Li.
The precious mirror was inlaid with thousands of night-shining pearls, and the light it emitted at midnight was comparable to daylight...
Jin Sui: What if the battery runs out? Will Jin Zilin be so angry that he will come to Biancheng to return the goods? "Do you have anything brighter than that mirror? As long as it can be brighter than that mirror, five thousand taels, no, ten thousand taels, I will buy it!"
Jin Sui asked with a smile, "Why don't you borrow Miss Yan's mirror to compete?"
"Twelve Mother treats it as a treasure and won't let me touch it!" Yan Shiyi said and glared at Jin Sui. You kid have made my sister suffer.
Jinsui actually has something that is brighter than a makeup mirror. What is it? It’s the 49.9 yuan disco light from Pinxixi!
It was also bought by the cleaning lady. It’s brand new and ready to shine at square dancing in the evening. I haven’t brought it home from the lab yet.
It is rechargeable and can be used for more than ten hours after being fully charged. I believe that this dazzling colorful light is very shocking in this era.
It is estimated that it will be regarded as a treasure of gods!
