Chapter 192 Negotiating a Contract

He Hongda's face turned pale, then red, and then pale again in a very short time.

He turned around stiffly and clearly saw Qin Zhen appear behind him.

I felt a little empty inside.

How did Qin Zhen get here? ! !

Shouldn't he be in the government office at this moment?

Yin Huaixi almost laughed out loud when she saw this scene.

Haha, you're embarrassed! I let you pretend.

"Master Qin, please come in."

Qin Zhen walked past He Hongda and his son and entered the gate.

"Boss He, you said at the beginning that you would come to apologize sincerely, but when I heard what you said just now, it seemed like you were bullying me by taking advantage of your power."

"My Lord, I was confused just now and said something wrong..."

He Hongda was sweating coldly and tried to explain himself away.

"Humph! I don't care if you are confused, but you are using my name to bully others. This is clearly ruining my reputation."

Having said that, Qin Zhen asked the accompanying officers to take the father and son away directly.

If these two people continue to chatter at the door, it will definitely affect the transaction between me and Madam Yin, so it is better to get rid of them as soon as possible.

What he wants to discuss is a matter of people's livelihood, and even his mother has to give way when she comes.

Without the annoying people, the yard suddenly became quiet.

Yin Huaixi still led everyone to sit down at the stone table, and then called his daughter over.

After all, the sale of oyster sauce and squid shreds was done by my daughter, and I didn't contribute much.

"Master Qin, isn't Sister Qin here today?"

Jiang Wan was definitely not thinking about the big mango that Qin Yue brought, she just asked casually.

"That girl wanted to come, but she couldn't come today because she was not feeling well. She had someone buy some mangoes and specifically said she would bring them to you."

With Qin Yue as the intermediary, the two of them became closer as they talked, and it took a while before they got to the point.

"Madam Yin, I wonder what you have been thinking about these past two days?"

Yin Huaixi did not take advantage of Qiao and said straightforwardly that he wanted to cooperate with the government.

"Master Qin, I wonder how much profit I can get from using this recipe?"

Qin Zhen was delighted. As long as she agreed, it would be fine. He was afraid that he didn't have anything that could impress Lady Yin, and it would be troublesome if she was unwilling to sell it.

"I've thought about the profit sharing. You just come up with the recipe and don't worry about anything else. How about giving you 30% of the profits?"

This is already the largest share Qinzhen can give.

He plans to sell oyster sauce and squid shreds mainly to Yongzhou. He will inevitably have to go in and out of Yongzhou frequently, so he will have to take a 10% or 20% cut from the profits.

Then he has to take out another 10% to control the people under his command.

He can't do the business himself every day, as he has many people to support.

There are still 40% left. He will use 20% to build Hailing City, and 20% will be handed over to make the tax rate of Hailing City look better.

It is not that easy to get to Dangzhi County.

The tax revenue of the four cities in Lizhou has always been at the bottom in Hailing City in previous years, so of course I have to see some improvement as a new official.

He really has great confidence in these two transactions.

Jiang Wan and her daughter were not disappointed by the 30% figure. They had already guessed it, and it must be between 20% and 30%.

After all, they only provide prescriptions and do nothing else, yet they get 40% to 50% of the profits right from the start, which is quite a treat.

Thirty percent, no more, no less, within the acceptable range for both mother and daughter.

You have to know that this is not a one-off transaction. As long as the government is still doing this business, it will be a steady source of money.

Seeing that her daughter had no objection, Yin Huaixi agreed immediately.

"Thirty percent is fine, but I want to change the household registration of three more people. Sir Qin, can you do it?"

Qin Zhen understood.

He had checked this family and naturally knew that Yin Huaixi was exiled with her brother and his family.

It seems that the two families have a close relationship.

"You want to change the household registration for your brother's family as well, right?"

Yin Huaixi nodded.

"What does Lord Qin say?"

"As long as our cooperation goes smoothly and we sign the contract, I will order someone to change the household registration. There will be no problem with this."

Anyway, the changed household registration will not be reported, so it is up to him to decide how much to change.

"Then I'll trouble you, Master Qin."

Yin Huaixi had solved a problem and was in a good mood. Jiang Wan, who was standing by, suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, Lord Qin, if the recipe is given to the government, can I still continue to sell these things? I have signed a contract with Dongfuju for oyster sauce, and several other companies in Cangsu City have also signed contracts."

"Oh? You also have contacts in Cangsu City. Which ones?"

This hasn’t been investigated in Qinzhen yet, so I’m a little curious.

"Well, there is Fubailou, Zuiyipin, and a restaurant called Yuzhai."

"Miss Jiang is amazing. These businesses are well-known in Cangsu City."

Qin Zhen answered Jiang Wan without much hesitation.

"Since the contract has been signed, you can continue to sell. But if someone comes to you to discuss these transactions in the future, I'll trouble you to push the customer to Hailing Commercial Bank."

"Hailing Trading Company?"

Jiang Wan seemed to have never heard of it.

Qin Zhen blushed slightly.

"Hailing Commercial Bank is a business directly under the government. It has only been open for a short time, so business is not very good."

He was embarrassed to say that this business had a bad start and that not much of the goods shipped to Yongzhou were sold, and it had been in a state of loss.

But now it’s okay. As long as we can start selling hot-selling items like oyster sauce and squid strips, things will definitely get better.

Qin Zhen carefully explained his next plan.

The company already had a store, so he could get approval to build a workshop as soon as possible. There were too many raw materials at the dock every day, and as long as the recipe was handed over to him, he could start selling it within half a month.

"Of course. Before officially selling them, I hope to buy a batch from you so that I can give them as samples to merchants in Yongzhou to try."

There are only four cities on Lizhou Island, but there are fifteen cities in Yongzhou, and six cities along the coast.

Qin Zhen had been eyeing these pieces of fat meat for a long time, but he had nothing to offer to chew on them.

"Sir Qin, is it okay for you to do business in the name of the government? I remember that officials are not allowed to do business, right? Why don't you register this business under the name of your wife?"

Yin Huaixi was worried that there would be problems here, and she was afraid of being implicated if she was investigated.

Qin Zhen laughed and praised: "Madam Yin, you are very thoughtful. However, our court does not have a clear rule that officials are not allowed to engage in business. It is just that they will be rejected by those scholars and officials. They think that trading will be tainted with the smell of money, so they disdain to do it."

At this point, his voice suddenly became a little quieter.

"In fact, I was excluded by those officials in the court. Later, the emperor sent me to Lizhou to do business. I had already asked the emperor for permission."

His Majesty does not care whether officials engage in business or not. He only cares whether officials can achieve results and truly improve the lives of local people.

It was with the confidence given by the emperor that he dared to establish the Hailing Trading Company.

When the mother and daughter heard this, the last bit of hesitation in their hearts disappeared.

Since His Majesty supports it, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Master Qin, is your contract ready?"
