Upon hearing Huang Meng's words, Lin Xu knew that the deal was secured.
This saves time going to other shops later, since he only sells this one type of product and there's no need to look for others.
Lin Xu said with a smile:
"I wonder if Mr. Huang is interested in the production of this beverage?"
Huang Meng responded without hesitation:
“Of course I’m interested. This beverage is simply superb. Moreover, the license to sell beverages is easy to obtain, and I can control the profits more easily. I can guarantee that if Mr. Lin Xu can supply me with enough goods, I can give you sixty percent of the profits!”
"Sixty percent?"
Lin Xu's eyes lit up.
This is 10% more profit than he expected. Cooperating with this woman is really good; at least he can make more money.
Lin Xu smiled and said:
“The contract is easy to handle. Now I’ll explain how this drink is made… Actually, this drink is made by diluting peach juice puree with water, a total of one hundred times.”
Huang Meng was initially puzzled by Lin Xu's willingness to reveal the formula, since it was a trade secret and Lin Xu had no reason to expose it even if the two were working together.
But upon hearing Lin Xu's words, Huang Meng's beautiful eyes widened:
"It was obtained by diluting life-saving potions with water!"
Huang Meng was surprised.
She never imagined that anyone would make drinks like this!
Compared to a delicious drink, a life-saving potion is definitely more valuable!
But then she realized what was going on.
The sale of life-saving potions is monopolized by nobles; the price of selling them directly is too low, and it's more profitable to dilute them with water to make a beverage.
However, most life potions are made from complex raw materials and don't taste very good. Even if you dilute them with water to make a beverage, they have no other value except to eliminate the potion's own efficacy.
No other life-saving potion could create such a delicious beverage.
Huang Meng is still savoring the taste of the peach juice she just drank.
If she had a choice, she would drink this peach juice every day. Not only does it taste great, but it also provides a boost of energy, and she would never get tired of it.
Huang Meng became even more curious about where Lin Xu got this drink from.
She knew this was definitely Lin Xu's core secret, and even if the two signed a contract and became close partners, Lin Xu would not reveal this information.
Huang Meng stared intently at the other bottle of life potion in Lin Xu's hand:
"So, if I dilute this potion with a hundred times the amount of water, I can get a top-quality peach juice drink?"
Lin Xu nodded:
"That's it. The business I want to discuss is this peach juice beverage business. I will provide you with peach juice concentrate, and you will be responsible for diluting it with water, canning it, and selling it. We will then split the profits."
Huang Meng's eyes were already shining with a burning light. If this beverage was really so easy to concoct, she could see it dominating the market and making huge profits.
After thinking for a moment, Huang Meng said in a coquettish tone:
"Leave all the blending, bottling, sales, and promotion to me. But Lin, the talented scholar, is only willing to give me 40% of the profits. Isn't that going too far?"
Lin Xu couldn't stand Huang Meng's deliberate coquettishness; her sweet voice almost made half of his body go weak.
But when it comes to interests, Lin Xu wouldn't back down for such a reason. He just chuckled.
“If Mr. Huang is unwilling, I can find another business to cooperate with. I think many businesses can do things like blending, bottling, selling, and promoting. But for products like peach puree, I am probably the only one who owns it.”
Huang Meng glared at Lin Xu resentfully:
"Okay, I was greedy."
She was now certain that Lin Xu would not be swayed by her beauty.
This made her slightly happy, but also somewhat dissatisfied.
How come the man she had a slight liking for was as cold and hard as a stone? He liked chasing after profit so much, he might as well live a life of gold coins in the future!
Huang Meng muttered something resentfully, then flipped her hand and pulled out a contract:
"In that case, can we sign a contract? We are all island owners, so let's use the island's laws as witnesses to prevent anyone from breaching the contract."
Lin Xu naturally had no reason to refuse; on the contrary, Huang Meng's decisiveness made him feel a little more admiring.
The two parties discussed the contract details, agreed on the penalty for breach of contract, and finally settled on an agreement that satisfied both parties.
The next moment, Lin Xu put away his contract and then asked Huang Meng to take him to a spacious warehouse.
Huang Meng was curious about Lin Xu's request, so she readily agreed and led Lin Xu to the basement.
Then, Lin Xu flipped his hand, and thirty huge liquid containers appeared in the warehouse.
"This is all peach juice puree, which should be enough to make the first batch of drinks. Consider this our first transaction."
Lin Xu said calmly.
Huang Meng stared at the suddenly appearing raw pulp bucket, her mouth slightly agape, genuinely surprised.
Lin Xu's personal space was far too large, exceeding the expectations of this veteran lord.
If Lin Xu can hold so many raw material containers at the same time, what level of island master status can he reach?
Huang Meng had also put in countless efforts and worked hard to make the island owner grow stronger, become a nobleman and a merchant, and acquire some capital.
However, she estimated that her island's main space was not much larger than Lin Xu's.
Moreover, Lin Xu's posture just now clearly showed that he had spared some energy, and perhaps filling 30 raw pulp barrels was not the limit of his ability.
Could it be that Lin Xu, a newly appointed island lord, has a larger personal space than she, a veteran island lord?
Thinking of this, Huang Meng was startled.
She suddenly realized that perhaps investing in Lin Xu himself would be more profitable than investing in this business.
Various thoughts popped into Huang Meng's mind, and Lin Xu waved his hand in front of Huang Meng's eyes:
"Mr. Huang?"
Huang Mengcai snapped out of her daze, her face flushing slightly with embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, I'm just shocked by how vast the space is for the talented Lin."
Lin Xu smiled but didn't explain anything.
"These raw materials should be able to be sold for a good profit. But I'm a beginner and urgently need funds. So, could I get an advance on these funds, and also buy some supplies?"
Huang Meng looked at the Bai family emblem on Lin Xu's chest and wondered how Lin Xu could lack beginner supplies if he really was a Bai family knight.
It seems that, just as she had guessed, Lin Xu had not actually joined the Bai family.
Thinking of this, Huang Meng smiled, for some reason.
She smiled radiantly and said:
"Of course, no problem. These raw materials are worth 6 million. Within that range, you can choose any product in the store. Also, since you are my partner, it's no problem to buy some things on credit."
