Chapter 71: Come to me on your own
Wen Yan looked at the shopkeeper: "Is your store really unwilling to supply me with goods?"
The quality of his ink sticks is really good.
Wen Yan still wanted to fight for it again.
Wen Ruyue immediately gave the shopkeeper a warning look.
"Sorry." The shopkeeper bowed to Wen Yan.
How could they, as mere merchants, dare to go against the Marquis of Jinping's Mansion?
"In that case, I won't force you." Wen Yan smiled and turned to leave.
Wen Ruyue blocked her path and said, "Wen Yan, if you really want to sell these goods, you can come to me. As sisters, I will definitely give you a discount."
He is so ungrateful after getting the advantage.
Wen Yan left without any hesitation.
Wen Ruyue asked loudly from behind her, "Sister, is the maid I gave you the other day doing well? If you like it, I'll buy you a few more."
Wen Yanli ignored her.
Wen Ruyue snorted softly.
Jiang Rouer is a poisonous snake. Once she bewitches Ying Zhilin, she will surely make your whole family live in unrest.
Just like in the previous life.
It was just a slight provocation. Jiang Rouer relied on Wen Yan's trust and put medicine in her health-preserving soup, causing Wen Yan to completely lose her fertility.
As for Jiang Rouer's fate...
Wen Ruyue gently waved her round fan, her eyes full of contempt.
When Brother Chen Wu saw Yan return empty-handed, he knew that she had failed again.
After failing to reach an agreement with several companies, he became anxious: "Can our shop still be open?"
"Let's go back to the general's mansion first." Wen Yan remained calm, as if these things could not stump her at all.
These little things naturally don't bother her.
Dayong has more than just these few companies supplying pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
There are plenty of excellent suppliers in other places, but they are far away and it is more difficult to contact them.
Wen Yan suddenly clapped his hands with his fist.
Yes, look outside!
There is such a huge treasure in the capital, how could I forget about it!
Wen Yan opened the car window and said to Brother Chen Wu, "Brother Chen Wu, let's go to the West City Gate, Sitongfang, and Chunhui Lane."
There is a Cai family paper shop in Chunhui Lane.
The paper shop is now on the verge of bankruptcy and is looking for someone to sell it.
certainly.
Wen Yan didn't like that shop.
But he was the owner of Cai’s paper shop.
"Sitongfang? There are all kinds of people there, a mixed bag. What do you want to do? Just tell me to go." Brother Chen Wu suggested.
"No, I want to go myself."
Under Wen Yan's guidance, the carriage soon arrived in front of an inconspicuous shop in Chunhui Lane.
Above the store door hangs a plaque with the words "Cai's Paper".
There are more or less customers in other shops.
Only the paper shop was deserted, without a single customer.
There was a wooden sign hanging at the door with four big words written on it: Clearance Sale, Transfer.
Wen Yan walked in.
I found that this store not only sells paper, but also many other stationery items.
The quality is mostly uneven.
Some are of very poor quality, not even as good as those sold at street stalls.
Some of them are unique and well-made, and they are no less impressive even when placed in famous shops.
However, the most common item in the shop is paper, which takes up half of the shop.
Although it will take a few years for Cai's paper to shine, its current quality cannot be underestimated.
They are all products from small workshops and are not famous.
Wen Yan's eyes were shining.
It was really a good decision to come here today.
As long as the product is good enough, she doesn't care about fame.
She walked to the counter and tapped the table.
The shopkeeper who was dozing on the counter was suddenly awakened.
Seeing a young female customer standing in front of him, he immediately smiled warmly: "Miss, do you want to buy some paper? How much do you want? You can get a discount if you buy more."
The shopkeeper seemed to be in his twenties or thirties, with a round face and a very amiable look.
Wen Yan was surprised.
Unexpectedly, the person sitting at the counter was the only successor of Cai’s paper - Cai Huo.
The Cai family's papermaking technology was passed down from their ancestors.
Cai Huo followed his father in making paper since he was old enough to understand. He was obsessed with papermaking and was not good at business.
Since his father passed away five years ago, he has devoted himself to papermaking. The business of this shop has been getting worse and worse, and this year it is no longer profitable.
He wanted to sell this ancestral shop and use the money to buy land in the countryside to live.
And he can focus all his attention on making new paper.
Four or five years later.
He lived up to expectations and created a new type of paper that was very suitable for painting.
As soon as it came out, it became popular in the entire painting circle and has remained popular for a long time.
It is said that even Wu Yunzi is a fan of Xinzhi.
This is not just a shabby paper shop, it is clearly a gold mine with unlimited potential!
Wen Yan's mind was busy calculating, but she showed no emotion on the surface.
Wen Yan pointed at the paper she liked and said, "I want all of these types of paper. Give me $200 for each type. The monthly purchase quantity will be determined based on sales."
"How much...how much?" The shopkeeper couldn't believe his ears.
"Two hundred dollars each." Wen Yan repeated.
The shopkeeper was not surprised at all, but looked conflicted.
He rubbed his hands and said, "Girl, this is it. I'm done with this business and I'm planning to sell the shop. I'm afraid I won't be able to supply you for long."
Wen Yan asked, "You're selling your shop. Are you not going to make paper anymore?"
"That's not the case... We're moving our family to the countryside..."
"When you go to the countryside, do you no longer make paper?"
"That's not the case..."
"How about you continue to supply me with goods, and as for this shop, you can sell it to me."
"Ah?" Cai Huo's eyes widened.
The girl in front of me seems smart, but why is she not very smart?
"Of course, the contracts for other supplies in your shop must also be transferred to me."
Cai Huo was delighted at first, but after a moment's thought, he didn't agree outright. Instead, he said, "I can sell my shop to you, and I can also supply you with paper. As for those old craftsmen, we don't have a contract. They've simply consigned their goods to my shop because we've known each other for a long time. Whether they're willing to supply you depends on your personal negotiation."
"Then I'd like to trouble Mr. Cai to introduce me to one or two."
As long as Wen Ruyue doesn't interfere, Wen Yan is confident that he can convince them.
Afterwards, they discussed the details of buying and selling the shop and supplying goods.
And the deed was signed very quickly.
Wen Yan didn't expect that things would go so smoothly this time.
As for the single product.
Not a problem at all.
As long as her shop becomes famous, suppliers will naturally come to her.
After agreeing to meet with the craftsman tomorrow, Wen Yan returned to the general's mansion first.
As soon as she arrived at the gate of the general's mansion, a slender figure rushed out.
He stopped Wen Yan on the street and knelt down in front of her with a thud: "Miss Wen, please give me a way to live."
Jiang Rouer grabbed Wen Yan's clothes and started crying.
Wen Yan lowered his eyes and glanced at her.
Isn't she being kept in the yard?
How did you get out?
What do you want to do by crying and making a fuss?
