Chapter 267 The Negotiation Is Done
Gu Yuanniang, who was out discussing business, had no idea what had happened in the store. She was holding the two jars of fine wine in her hands, and for some reason she felt a little happy.
When Gu Yuanniang stepped into Xiangchunfang, a servant beside her immediately came up to her and said, "What would this lady like to drink?"
Gu Yuanniang shook her head slightly, looked at Xiao Si and said, "I came here today to see your shopkeeper Wan."
Hearing this, Xiao Si looked Gu Yuanniang up and down, and finally stopped his eyes on the wine in her hand. He said with some dissatisfaction: "Go away, is it that wine shop that is looking for you again? Why do you think our store is doing better than yours, so you keep causing trouble?"
"My young master, I'm afraid you have misunderstood." Gu Yuanniang wanted to explain, but Xiao Si on the opposite side became more and more annoyed.
"If you don't get out, don't force me to kick you out."
"My dear husband, you really misunderstood. I am not from that wine shop."
But despite this explanation, Xiao Si refused to believe her and kept pushing Gu Yuanniang, trying to get her to leave quickly.
Gu Yuanniang's hands were a little unstable when she was pushed up by Xiao Si, and the wine she was holding hit the pillar beside her, breaking a jar.
The aroma instantly filled the air. Upon smelling it, a hurried figure from the kitchen came up, looked at the saliva and wine spilled on the ground, immediately squatted down, touched a little of the wine on the ground with his fingertips, and licked it gently in his mouth. His pupils suddenly dilated, and he looked at the wine on the ground with some regret: "This is a good thing, how could it be broken like this? It's so careless."
When Gu Yuanniang heard this, the corners of her mouth curved up slightly and she raised the wine in her hand: "Manager Wan, why are you so anxious? I still have a jar here!"
"Oh?" Manager Wan raised his eyebrows and saw that Gu Yuanniang was still somewhat excited, and quickly invited her to the guest room upstairs.
Gu Yuanniang was not in a hurry to talk about what she wanted to say. Instead, she poured the wine into the glass and slowly handed it to the man opposite.
When Shopkeeper Wan received the cup, he just put it to his nose, sniffed it gently, and sighed with satisfaction: "It is indeed a good wine."
Then he slowly put it into his mouth and took a sip: "This wine is sweet, fragrant and strong, no worse than any of the wines I have here. I wonder where this lady got this wine from?"
Gu Yuanniang smiled slightly, looked at the man and said seriously: "This is brewed by me. If Wan Xianggong wants to drink it, he can go to the department store to buy it."
"Department store?" The man was a little stunned when he heard these three words, then he suddenly realized something: "I remember now, there is indeed a department store in the capital recently, they say they sell everything, and I heard that their shopkeepers are three young ladies."
"That's right." Gu Yuanniang nodded.
“Excuse me.” Shopkeeper Wan immediately stood up and saluted to Gu Yuanniang: “I never thought that you are the shopkeeper of the department store!”
"Isn't Manager Wan surprised?"
"What's surprising?"
The man was still a little confused when he heard what Gu Yuanniang said: "Everyone in this capital city looks down on us women who open shops."
"Haha." Shopkeeper Wan smiled softly, looked at Gu Yuanniang and said, "Women can do what men can do. On the contrary, I think Madam Gu, the wine you brew is more fragrant than the wine in our Xiangchunfang."
"If the shopkeeper agrees, we will provide you with wine regularly and let you sell it in Xiangchunfang."
"Is there such a good thing?" Shopkeeper Wan's eyes suddenly lit up, staring at Gu Yuanniang, and asked again in disbelief: "Madam, what you said is true."
"Of course it's true." Gu Yuanniang nodded slowly: "Our two families can sell it together, and the profit will be split 50-50, but there is a condition."
When the man heard what Gu Yuanniang said, he became anxious and asked her: "What are the conditions?"
"Even the wine sold in my department store needs to be labeled with the department store's unique label, and your store must also hang the department store's logo above it."
"From what you said, you want to merge with me."
"Speaking of merger, I prefer the word alliance." Gu Yuanniang spoke slowly, word by word, "We will provide you with some wine, and you can sell it. At the same time, it will improve the reputation of my department store and also increase the business of your Xiangchunfang. This is a win-win situation for us!"
Gu Yuanniang picked up the wine glass beside her, poured another bowl for the man in front of her, and said, "Manager Wan, you have to think about this carefully."
The man became a little hesitant and thought carefully, but the aroma of the wine in the cup in front of him entered his nose through the air. He suddenly picked up the cup and drank the wine, then said, "Madam Gu, you are so sincere. I agreed at that time."
The deal was done just like that, and Gu Yuanniang was a little surprised. She thought she would have to spend some time to convince the man in front of her.
Gu Yue Niang took out the document she carried with her and asked the man opposite her to sign it.
Perhaps because he had drunk two cups of wine, the man felt a little dazed and immediately asked Gu Yuanniang to drink another pot.
After signing, the man escorted Gu Yuanniang out the door. Perhaps it was the breeze at the door that sobered the man up for a moment. He looked at Gu Yuanniang and said, "It's getting late today, why don't I take you back home!"
Gu Yuanniang shook her hand: "No need."
"Let me see you off. It's a good opportunity for me to meet the other two shopkeepers, so that our cooperation can be more long-term."
After hearing what the man said, Gu Yuanniang nodded slightly. Okay, the man also got on the carriage, and they walked towards the department store together.
Xu Miaomiao and Xu Qingshan were still in a stalemate in the department store. Hearing Xu Miaomiao's words, Xu Qingshan felt himself stiffen and froze in place. He slowly turned his head and looked at Xu Miaomiao: "Of course I want to know."
Just as Xu Miaomiao was about to speak, she saw a hurried figure rushing out of the door: "Shut up, Miaomiao!"
Gu Yuanniang rushed in in a hurry and glanced at Xu Qingshan with an uncomfortable look: "If you don't want to get married, then you don't want to get married. What other reasons do you have? If Mr. Xu is fine, you should leave early!"
When Xu Qingshan heard this, he wanted to ask more questions, but all the words were blocked in his mouth.
Shopkeeper Wan slowly got off the carriage and walked slowly into the department store. When he left, he saw Xu Qingshan and the two of them looked at each other.
Seeing this, Xu Qingshan didn't want to stay any longer, so he turned around and left, just listening to Xu Miaomiao's words. There must be some hidden story here, and he must know.
"Miao Miao, this is Shopkeeper Wan. We have already signed a contract and we can deliver wine to his shop tomorrow."
Xu Miaomiao listened to Gu Yuanniang's introduction, immediately clasped her fists and saluted the man in front of her: "Manager Wan, I have heard of your great name for a long time."
The man also responded in kind: "Madam Xu, you are too polite. I have heard that this department store is unique, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to come. Now that I am here today, I can really see it for myself."
