Seeing that Lin Xu remained silent, Huang Meng sighed softly and said with some emotion:
"I've noticed some details about your interactions with Miss Bai. I must say, you're incredibly lucky to have won the heart of a noblewoman like yourself. That's even rarer than awakening a peerless talent. You should cherish this, Lin the Great Talent!"
Lin Xu was stunned. He didn't expect that the woman in front of him would talk about his relationship with Bai Qingniao.
Judging from what this woman said, it seems that she has had some similar experiences, but the nobleman who pursued her should not have had the same attitude as Bai Qingniao.
She's a woman with a story to tell!
Lin Xu looked Huang Meng up and down. With a woman's looks, it would be rare if she hadn't experienced something like this. He wondered how she dealt with the noblemen who pursued her.
He could clearly sense that Huang Meng's body was obviously very pure, she had almost no physical contact with men, and she was still a virgin.
But at this moment, Huang Meng's eyes clearly showed a trace of sorrow, perhaps because she was being harassed too much by the nobleman who was pursuing her.
However, Lin Xu didn't want to let a woman's beauty interfere with his business, and simply said:
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Huang, but let's talk business first, and then we can discuss other things."
Huang Meng snapped out of her mournful expression and gave Lin Xu a reproachful look. In that instant, she was breathtakingly beautiful, a truly stunning sight.
But Lin Xu was already prepared and remained unmoved, simply waiting for Huang Meng's answer.
"As expected of the talented Lin, your mind is different from ordinary people. Few men have seen me in this state, but you are the first time you have seen me so clear-headed and calm."
Huang Meng said something, and seeing that Lin Xu didn't respond, she also felt that this attempt to get close to him was pointless. She stopped wasting words and started talking about business:
"Regarding your life potion, I can sense that it is of the highest quality. If sold, its value would be immeasurable. I can try my best to secure profits for you. Twenty percent of the sales profit is the maximum you can get, but you must ensure a stable supply and the production volume cannot be less than 10 liters per day."
"Twenty percent!"
Lin Xu raised an eyebrow.
This profit margin is much higher than what the salesperson told us.
It seems that the profit margin that the shop assistant just gave was complete nonsense; he was either stupid or malicious.
Huang Meng's offer of such a profit margin suggests she genuinely wanted to discuss business, hence the significant profit concession.
At this moment, Lin Xu pondered, and Huang Meng explained further:
"Master Lin is no novice; he must understand that life potions now require a certificate to be sold, and such qualifications are monopolized by nobles. Generally, nobles can only offer a maximum of five percent of the profit. The reason I can offer you such a generous price is because I own a portion of the shares in this shop and can share some of the profits."
As she said this, Huang Meng's expression became very sincere:
"To be honest, I'm facing some difficulties right now and I really need a top-notch product like this to turn things around. So I'm willing to give up all my profits just to get the sales rights. But since I don't have complete control over the store, there are some profits that I simply can't give you. I hope you can understand that."
Lin Xu was surprised by Huang Meng's frank attitude.
Based on Huang Meng's previous performance, he had no indication that Huang Meng's shop was experiencing any difficulties.
If Huang Meng concealed this information from him during negotiations, she should be able to secure more benefits.
But this woman just said it like that?
Lin Xu was somewhat unable to figure out this woman's personality and methods.
After Huang Meng finished speaking, she looked at Lin Xu with her bright and charming eyes, waiting for his reply.
In fact, she was able to say these things because Lin Xu had resisted her previous "temptations".
Because of her current situation, she actually has a natural aversion to men who are only obsessed with her beauty.
Lin Xu's calm and restrained reaction hit Huang Meng's target area perfectly, greatly increasing her positive feelings towards Lin Xu.
After all, she had had enough of the nobles who kept harassing her because of her beauty. Other nobles said they valued her business acumen and wanted to give her the opportunity to obtain a title and run her own shop.
But in reality, those nobles still harbored the idea of keeping her as their own, their minds filled with thoughts of keeping her as a caged bird, keeping her in that kind of vulgar and obscene slave cage.
She was already fed up with this kind of man.
Lin Xu didn't know Huang Meng's thoughts, but from the beginning, he wasn't in it to sell life-saving potions, so he shook his head without hesitation.
"I'm sorry, I can't agree to this condition."
Huang Meng frowned slightly:
"Master Lin, this is definitely the best offer a merchant can make. Even if you find a hundred similar merchants, you won't find a more favorable offer."
Lin Xu smiled slightly and said calmly:
"I'm not here to sell this peach juice puree, but for something else."
Huang Meng was taken aback.
Something else?
What could possibly compare to a life-saving potion?
Moreover, Lin Xu is a novice island owner who hasn't even officially started his novice period yet. Where would he get so many supplies?
However, without Huang Meng asking, Lin Xu had already taken out another thermos.
He handed the bottle to Huang Meng:
"Mr. Huang, you can try what's in here."
Huang Meng looked slightly confused, but her expression didn't change much. She took the thermos and roughly put the lid on.
"There's a hint of life force here..."
Huang Meng looked at the pink liquid in the new bottle.
She could tell that the contents of this container were very similar to that life-saving peach juice.
Moreover, this liquid contains some life force, and long-term consumption is beneficial to the body.
However, the vitality concentration of this pink liquid is too low, far inferior to a life potion, and only slightly better than a maintenance potion.
Life-saving potions are rare and in high demand, but these kinds of potions that only have a slight life-saving effect are just common, ubiquitous items and cannot generate the kind of sales that blockbuster products do.
Huang Meng was slightly confused:
"Lin, what do you mean by bringing out this substandard medicine?"
Lin Xu smiled and shook his head slightly, saying:
"This isn't medicine, it's a beverage. Mr. Huang, you can try some."
Huang Meng was even more puzzled, her brows furrowing slightly.
But she wasn't the kind of person who hesitated. She understood what Lin Xu meant, so she tried putting the peach juice in front of her mouth and taking a small sip.
The next moment, Huang Meng's eyes lit up.
"What a sweet taste!"
"This taste is comparable to the finest beverages!"
Huang Meng couldn't resist taking a few more sips of peach juice.
The way she sipped the liquid was really easy for people to misunderstand.
Lin Xu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, suppressing the burning desire rising in his heart.
After drinking most of her beverage, Huang Meng put down the bottle.
"This drink is sure to be a huge hit!"
