Madam Xie felt heartbroken, but she couldn't show it on her face.
The person she was facing was about the same age as her daughter, and the other was a bit older, but looked to be only about seventeen. She couldn't be intimidated.
So she asked, "Miss Gu, may I ask if your parents have given any instructions on how we can cooperate?"
Gu Xin smiled and shook her head: "Madam Xie, our elders left this matter to my sister and me to decide, so they didn't give any instructions. They just reminded my sister and me not to let ourselves be taken advantage of, and of course, not to take advantage of others either. As for Madam Xie, Young Master Xie told me earlier that he was representing Madam Xie in business negotiations. I wonder how Madam Xie would like to cooperate? Let's discuss it together!"
When Madam Xie heard the saying "never suffer a loss," she thought of what her son had said about the other person having powerful connections.
She knew her son's arrogant and domineering nature very well; he was afraid of him. She guessed that this person had a very powerful backer. So, Madam Xie said, "Miss Gu, is this prescription for sale? I sent Nanfeng to discuss the sale of this prescription before."
Gu Xin's smile was more genuine than before. She thought to herself, "This Madam Xie doesn't seem like a bad person. It must be that her son wasn't raised well and she acted on his own."
When Madam Xie saw Gu Xin smile like that, she thought she could sell it and was naturally happy. However, she did not expect Gu Xin to refuse the wine outright.
Gu Xin shook her head: "Madam Xie, we don't sell our formulas. We only cooperate. Since Madam Xie knows about the shampoo and conditioner set, she must also know that the only place that sells shampoo and conditioner sets is the Li family's cosmetics shop. Now we have our own shop as well. If you want to cooperate, Madam Xie can choose the cooperation model between Madam Li and our family."
Madam Xie was taken aback. The Gu family had opened their own shop? The Li family was actually willing to do so?
Gu Xin continued, "However, the entire cooperation model with the Li family probably doesn't apply to our two families. Because our packaging is purchased from the Li family. Madam Xie probably doesn't have as many businesses as the Li family to provide packaging for us, right?"
Mrs. Xie nodded subconsciously. Her thought was to buy the baby and then find someone to make the packaging.
Xie Zhiyi couldn't help but interject, "Xinxin, how are we going to collaborate?"
Gu Xin smiled at Xie Zhiyi without answering, then looked at Madam Xie.
Xie Zhiyi was unhappy, not with Gu Xin, but with her own mother.
Look how good Xin Xin's mother is! She lets her sisters go out to discuss business together. But my own mother treats me like a child who doesn't know anything. How can she be like that?
Madam Xie felt the glare from her silly daughter and felt heartbroken once again. This stupid girl.
Madam Xie looked at Gu Xin, then at Gu Hui.
Gu Xin smiled broadly, while Gu Hui looked at her with a cold expression.
Madam Xie: "...Miss Gu, in your opinion, what kind of cooperation model would be suitable for us?"
Gu Xin said, "It's a consignment sale. Madam Xie will purchase goods in bulk from us, and we will sell them to her at a price a few cents higher than the cost. Madam Xie will set her own price, but the price cannot exceed the range we specify. In other words, the price Madam Xie pays in Yuzhou cannot be higher than the selling price of our two stores in Qingzhou."
"For example, a bar of soap costs seventy coins to produce, and we sell it to Madam Xie for eighty coins. Madam Xie can sell it for a maximum of one hundred coins. Of course, Madam Xie, you can sell it for ninety coins. This price is based on the premise of bulk purchase, with at least five hundred pieces of each item at a time. What does Madam Xie think?"
Madam Xie did the math in her head. She realized that the money she would earn from each item was not much, but if all five hundred items were sold, she could earn at least ten taels per order.
Soap is the cheapest item, but what about the others?
Then Mrs. Xie asked, "What about the price of the soap? And what about the other items in the bath and body care set?"
