Ruan Menghao seemed to be negotiating, "What Young Master Sun said does indeed exist. But isn't Young Master Sun's willingness to cooperate with us also based on the potential prospects?"
"There will definitely be some risks in the early stages. Young Master Sun's family is in business, so they should understand better that all business investments carry a certain degree of risk."
“However,” Ruan Meng changed the subject, “fortunately, we’re not unscrupulous merchants. Our intention is to help the villagers improve their lives; we definitely have a long-term plan…”
"Only through mutually beneficial cooperation, and only when Young Master Sun receives satisfactory returns, will he continue to cooperate with us. Therefore, in the initial stage, besides the advance payment, we can settle the accounts after Young Master Sun receives a certain amount of payment from sales..."
"We can also produce a portion, and then formulate a subsequent production plan after Young Master Sun calculates the profits."
"If sales are not good, we can adjust the formula based on customer feedback to prevent a strong customer response. And formula adjustments do not require any additional costs."
"Alternatively, we can stipulate the sales quantity or total amount in the written agreement. If the target is met, Young Master Sun will pay the corresponding fee; if not, the village collective can reduce or waive the land contract fee based on whether the target is met..."
Ruan Meng didn't consider the possibility of the cooperation being completely overturned. Even if Sun Chengen temporarily withdrew from the project, let alone the fact that Sun Mu'en was currently being treated, Ruan Meng would find other partners to take over.
Even if it doesn't happen, we can always take it ourselves; of course, that's the last resort.
Not enough money? Just write an IOU!
Ruan Meng's suggestion was very sincere, and Sun Chengen could tell that Ruan Meng was indeed considering the benefits.
Although we haven't known each other for long, based on my cousin, Xinglintang, and the current county magistrate's assessment of the Ruan family...
Based on his own observations, Sun Chengen was very optimistic about Ruan Meng.
He is talented and has a long-term market vision, but opening up the market takes time, and he knows this better than anyone else.
The seemingly hesitant question was actually meant to put pressure on Magistrate Deng.
Don't assume that as long as he invests money, the villagers can sit back and pick up money. Only by putting in tremendous effort and working together can we achieve the desired results.
Magistrate Deng, of course, hoped to secure this opportunity for Fengjia Village, and said to Sun Chengen:
“Young Master Sun’s questions are all very pertinent. If we decide to cooperate, my sister’s suggestion just now was excellent. We can sit down with the village chief and discuss it point by point.”
"This will ensure that the villagers get what they work for, and also reduce the risks for young master Sun."
Seeing Magistrate Deng's attitude, Sun Chengen nodded and said nothing more.
Ruan Meng then requested, "There's one more thing. The experts that Young Master Sun helped invite, besides providing guidance and instruction, also have an extra job: teaching the villagers skills."
Magistrate Deng, Feng Da, and Feng Si's eyes lit up.
Sun Chengen remained unfazed. "Okay."
It's simply a matter of adding more money.
But Magistrate Deng knew that doing so had profound implications.
Having a skill opens up many more avenues for villagers to make a living. They are no longer limited to working by the sea; they can also go to the city to work, helping out in workshops or wealthy households, thus earning extra income.
Magistrate Deng remained silent and bowed to Ruan Meng and Ruan Qian.
Seizing the opportunity, Ruan Meng asked Sun Chengen for his opinion on when they could discuss cooperation.
Sun Chengen suggested that Ruan Meng make specific requests, including the types and number of skilled craftsmen needed, their requirements, the length of stay, a list of materials, and the total budget.
Magistrate Deng stated, "We will fully cooperate!"
Ruan Meng looked at her elder brother, Ruan Qian, and solemnly said:
"I discussed it with the village chief that evening."
Magistrate Deng was thrilled to hear this. To avoid wasting time communicating, he sent Feng Da back to the county and told him that he would not be returning that afternoon and that the county magistrate and county constable should discuss and handle any matters.
The second brother delivered water to Magistrate Deng and Sun Chengen, while Ruan Meng found the tools that Xiao Kai had made, preparing the "props" to be discussed that evening.
