"I don't like beating around the bush. I wonder if Sir George has any good suggestions or cooperation matters."

"My father has always told me that it is best to be direct when speaking and doing things in Maple Leaf Territory, because Lord Green does not like to beat around the bush. I didn't expect that this tradition would be passed down to you."

"Can I take this as a compliment?"

"Of course... In fact, that's the truth. The reason why I ignored etiquette and went around Lord Green was because I wanted to have a good chat with the person who developed Maple Leaf Territory with his own hands."

"Just tell me straight! If you keep talking, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it in and leave."

"I want to cooperate with you. I will provide the personnel and land, and you will provide the seeds and technology. All the profits will be 50-50."

“There is no problem with cooperation, but the distribution of benefits needs to be adjusted.”

"As long as you agree to cooperate, the distribution issue is not off the table."

"I will provide the seeds and technology, and I will take 70% of the profits in the first three years. From the fourth to the sixth year, we will each take half. After the seventh year, I will only take 20%, until you propose to terminate the cooperation."

"Also, the products produced in the past three years cannot be sold in our Kingdom of Kulma. Also, you can't be the only one in this cooperation."

"Of course. There are always some friendships between nobles. As for the distribution issue you raised, I need some time to consider it."

"That's as it should be. After all, this is not just a matter of one or two gold coins."

"By the way, I heard that you are a magician. I happen to have a few magic books from the era of high elves. I'll use them as a gift for this meeting. I hope you don't mind."

Lin Xingchen was very happy to receive the book handed over by the descendant of the Southern Duke: "This is the best gift, thank you."

The conversation with George ended quickly, and then we went to a private room not far away, which was where Wang Du’s agency signed the contract.

Leading Charles and several assistants, Lin Xingchen walked into the private room. The four shareholders of United Rose had been waiting for a long time.

"Good day, Master Xingchen." Evelyn performed a greeting between magicians.

"Good day, Ms. Avril. I'm just here to join in the fun today. Charles will discuss the details with you."

"Beautiful Ms. Avril, may I begin?"

Charles got the answer and went straight to the point without wasting time: "The price offered by United Rose really makes me happy, but I think after deducting the transportation cost from the 80% low price, you probably won't make much profit."

"I wonder if Ms. Avril has anything else to add?"

After taking a deep breath, Avril spoke slowly, "Indeed, there is no profit at all at this price, but I still want to take a gamble and bet on whether you want a long-term partner."

"I'm very willing to listen to your suggestions."

"Although my offer is 80% of the supply price, as you said, I have no profit at all. What I want to discuss with you is a possibility. For example, if I extract a certain amount of goods from you every year, you will give me a certain price return."

"To put it more clearly, if I help you sell a certain amount of goods, you will lower my supply price. This reduction includes the price of the goods that have been purchased before."

This suggestion made Lin Xingchen stop drinking water. This woman is amazing. She can actually think of the concept of sales rebates.

"Ms. Avril, I think your proposal is totally unnecessary. If we can't sign a formal contract, I can always switch to another company. You may not know that the offer given by the Tulip Chamber of Commerce is the lowest offer of 70% for five years."

"You have the right to change agents, but you don't want to change agents too often! I can tell you responsibly that Tulip doesn't have that many customers and funds.

And the most important thing is that if you give him the qualification, they will definitely be very strict in terms of sales and raise the price of each product to the highest.

"This doesn't meet your needs. I think you want to sell as many of your goods as possible."

"I know that Mr. Charles, you will say that your products will not have trouble selling, and that you must pay half of the deposit before picking up the goods, and you are not worried about losing money at all."

But I can tell you responsibly that once they get goods like red wine, white sugar, brown sugar, tea and medicine that can be preserved for several years or even more than ten years, they will definitely hold on to them and seek to sell them at the highest price to make up for their losses. "

In this way, no matter how much you produce, it will be controlled by these people. Once the agency period is up, they can sell at will without considering your requirements.

"But I'm different. I need to sell all the goods on hand as quickly as possible to make up for my losses. This is beneficial to both you and me."

At this point, Charles didn't know how to respond. After all, he had already considered what the other party said during the rehearsal, and now that it was brought up, he was forced into a corner.

Clap, clap, clap... Seeing that Charles was speechless for a moment, Lin Xingchen couldn't help but applaud.

"Charles, you lost and you lost miserably!"

Walking to the negotiation table, Lin Xingchen sat in the main seat. "Ms. Avril, I really admire you. You use sales volume and rebates to fight for opportunities for yourself. It's a good idea. You must have put a lot of effort into it."

"Yes, I've been thinking about it since I heard you bring up the idea of ​​an agency."

“How about this, I will lower the minimum supply price to 60%. When you sell a certain amount, I will not reduce the supply price for you, but I will give you a direct rebate, which means I will return the profit directly to you. For example, if you help me sell 100 bottles of wine, I will return you 2% of the net profit, 5% for 1,000 bottles, 10% for 10,000 bottles, and the maximum is 15%.

And this mechanism is not limited to red wine, you can use this method for all goods, but I have a premise, that is, you can't leak this supplementary agreement."

"Really?" Avril and the others looked incredulous.

"Charles, you know what to say next. I told you not to look down on others, and I'll add that you should not look down on the ladies."

After leaving the private room, Lin Xingchen went back to his magic hut. Evelyn took Alice and those talented students to the magic academy. The remaining magicians, because of their talent issues, were engaged in the work of repairing roads and houses.

He came to the Tree of Life and looked at the densely packed cocoons in front of him. He shook his head helplessly and moved the cocoons one by one to the front door of the hut. After moving more than a dozen cocoons, he called the servants and planned to try to reel silk himself.

The young master needed people to work, so the servants were naturally eager to help. Several guards carefully brought tools such as spinning wheels.

The water on the simple stove next to it had already been boiling. Lin Xingchen took the vinegar brewed by the indigenous people and dripped about a dozen drops of it. What followed was the silk reeling process.

I remember boiling cocoons for fun, but this time it was for money, so Linda was there to record every step, the amount and time.

Egg-sized silk cocoons were poured into a large pot, and long wooden chopsticks were used to press them into the hot water in the hope that they would be cooked through.

After seeing that the cocoon had become somewhat soft, he quickly stirred it in the pot with chopsticks, and the outermost layer of silk was rolled together by the chopsticks.

Then you just need to slowly pull out the main silk, and things will be much easier afterwards. For the first time practicing, just connect five silk strands and slowly turn the silk drawing machine.

No matter what the silk produced this time will be like, since we can produce it, we will set up the equipment and go all out, with more than 20 large pots boiling the cocoons at the same time.

Fortunately, we recruited some help in advance this time, otherwise we would be caught off guard for a while. Everyone performed their duties in the makeshift shed.

There is a person in charge of recording in each pot of boiling cocoons. The things recorded by these people need to be compared after all the silk is spun into silk threads.

For example, in the first pot that vinegar is added, the silk spit out by the silkworms will have a layer of glue on the surface, and the acidity of vinegar can remove the glue on the outside of the silk, making the silk smoother.

But such a process requires exploration, and I only have these memories in my mind. In the end, I still have to practice it to know whether it works or not.

It is easier to get things done when there are more people involved. While the people in front are reeling out the silk, the people behind are starting to spin the thread on a spinning wheel. The whole process looks hectic, but it becomes much simpler once these people, who have no special skills, become familiar with them.

These things could not be solved in a short time, so Lin Xingchen went to the weaving room that he was more concerned about to check the situation.

The level of the weaving industry on the continent of Plano is really impressive. Some skilled weavers can directly weave the required patterns with various colored silk threads, and these are the favorite costumes of the nobles.

Seeing that the weaving women were already in place, Lin Xingchen felt relieved. Whether his plan would succeed depended entirely on these few days.

In order to calm himself down, Lin Xingchen went directly to the Tree of Life to practice magic, and told the servants to call him after the finished cloth was produced.

On the third day, the servants called him out and rushed to the weaving room, where they quickly delivered the freshly woven silk cloth.

There were more than a dozen pieces of cloth, each with its own number. After comparison, I finally found a model that was more in line with the properties of silk.

Weaving silk cloth is not the final step. Dyeing is the final step. After arranging people to test the dyeing effect, Lin Xingchen put away the most ideal silk and went to find Avril and others who were still in Maple Leaf.
