Chapter 147 Signing a Contract
Qin Tianxiao couldn't help but cover her eyes when she saw the younger generations acting like this. These young people were bullying her old man because he was not around, right?
Liu Manyun took her arm with a smile, "Yaoyao taught me a set of massage techniques before. Let the girls do it when you get home."
Qin Tianxiao smiled: "Sister-in-law is still the best."
The group of people played around for a while, and Ding Er took out all the silver money he had collected today and poured it all on the table. Silver ingots, broken silver, and copper coins piled up on the table into a small mountain, which made the usually calm Liu Manyun unable to control her expression.
"Are these today's income?"
Ding Er nodded and went to get the account book.
When he mentioned this, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. If there was such good business every day in the future, wouldn't they be able to earn so much money every day?
"Today is the first day, and there are activities again."
Curiosity and the desire to get a bargain may lead to impulse buying.
Lu Yao's words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing Ding Er's increasingly drifting fantasies.
Ding Er actually knew this truth, but the things his master brought out were so different that it gave him more confidence. He felt that even without the support of the first day opening event, their Fengya business would not be bad.
"Come on, let's count the money," Lu Yao waved her hand, inviting everyone to come together. "Come and feel the feeling of counting money until your hands cramp."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became interested.
Lu Yao looked at Lan Xin: "Is this a dream come true?"
"Yes, of course." Lan Xin also smiled and began to roll up her sleeves. "Thank you, Yaoyao, for making my dream come true."
The price of their soaps seems to be high, and is actually cheaper than bath beans and soap. However, due to the large shipment volume and so many warehouses, they are actually half sold today.
There is strength in numbers. Everyone worked together and soon counted the pile of copper coins and silver.
On the first day of opening, their total revenue was more than four hundred taels.
"so much?"
Liu Manyun and Qin Tianxiao, who were born and had seen a lot of the world, found it unbelievable. However, considering the busyness of the day and the amount of goods in the warehouse, four hundred taels was normal.
“Although it’s unlikely, I still hope that every day in the future we can have as many customers as today.”
Lu Yao comforted him, "As we have more products, our business will definitely get better and better."
At that time, victory would not be based on quantity.
"By the way," she recalled what she had discussed with Ye Jiayue and the others before, "Are you going to sell this?"
Lan Xin couldn't believe it: "Are these Fengya's?"
"Yes," Lu Yao nodded, "Didn't we agree on this before?"
"Yaoyao, the shop has just opened," Ye Jiayue shook her head disapprovingly, "Let's talk about it later."
If they also sell these in their shop, won't Yaoyao's shop be affected? They can't do such a thing.
"Yes," Lan Xin nodded, "There's no rush now."
Liu Manyun and Qin Tianxiao heard what they were saying and also disagreed.
The shop has only been open for a day, how can they sell it? Isn't this a blatant act of stealing customers?
How could Lu Yao not understand everyone's thoughts? She smiled and said, "You misunderstood."
Misunderstand?
Didn’t you say that you want them to sell these as well?
Lu Yao explained, "Our shop isn't on the same street. You can franchise your goods and sell them there. I'll be doing wholesale, focusing on volume."
"Join us?"
They were all a little confused about this new word.
Lu Yao explained it to them in detail, and finally said half-jokingly, "This has no effect on me. On the contrary, I will also charge you for the goods."
"Really no impact?"
They were still a little worried.
Lu Yao nodded affirmatively. "Beijing is so big, with so many users. Many people can't travel so far to buy. It's impossible for us to make all the money from just one shop."
After this explanation, I finally realized what was happening.
Lan Xin said, "Then let's pick a shop that's farther away so we don't affect each other."
"But," Ye Jiayue still had some doubts, "our prices are the same, and you're giving us a discount, so won't you be losing money?"
"How could that be?" Lu Yao said, "Small profits but quick turnover, winning by volume. I'll just be responsible for production and shipping, and you'll handle the sales. This is called mutual benefit, and we make money together."
To reassure them, Lu Yao continued, "Without you, if others want to cooperate, I will agree if it's suitable."
The only difference is probably that they will give a discount on top of the wholesale price when purchasing goods.
Rong Yanhui also advised, "Aunt, don't worry about this. Yaoyao had all these plans planned a long time ago. Opening a franchise store was also part of her plan. You just started a little earlier."
He paused for a moment and continued, "As you can see, our products are very popular, which inevitably arouses jealousy. Rather than waiting for others to make small moves behind the scenes and affect Fengya's business, it is better for us to take the initiative. This is also a way to divide the risk."
Anyone who is willing can do this business, as long as they follow the rules they set, and everyone can make money together.
"real?"
After receiving a positive answer, they felt relieved and nodded in agreement.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a profitable business. They don’t complain about the high amount of money, but they just don’t want it to affect their relationship.
Ye Jiayue and Lan Xin were very straightforward:
"Yaoyao, help me choose a shop."
"Will the decoration be similar to the shops here?"
"Are there other things you can sell?"
“…”
Lu Yao showed no impatience at all: "I suggest you use a shop to renovate it. It doesn't need to be too big."
This unification can enable better management and brand effect, and is suitable in any era.
If other people want to join in the future, she will make the same request.
After I shared my idea, everyone praised me and said it was a great idea. They were also hesitant about whether they should make the same adjustments to their own shops after they returned.
However, these are all later stories. Currently, they are having a series of discussions about joining the franchise, mainly them asking questions and Lu Yao and Rong Yan answering and clarifying their doubts.
Finally, with the encouragement of their husbands, Ye Jiayue and Lan Xin immediately decided: "When are we going to sign the contract?"
If possible, they would like to decide on it now, book the shop, decorate it tomorrow, and open it the day after tomorrow.
Of course, the idea is beautiful, but it is not so easy to implement it.
but,
Everything else takes time, but the contract can be signed now.
Lu Yao took out the contract she had written with Rong Yanhui in advance. It had Party A and Party B written on it in the style of a modern contract, and the responsibilities and rights that each party should fulfill were clearly listed one by one.
"This is the contract we drafted. Please take a look at it. If there is anything that needs to be supplemented, we will adjust it."
No one realized that they had already drafted the contract. It seemed that what they said was not to comfort people, but they had really planned the development direction long ago.
This way, they can feel more at ease and their plans will not be affected.
The contract was finalized after repeated deliberations between Lu Yao and Rong Yanhui. All aspects were taken into consideration, responsibilities were clearly divided, and rights were taken care of. There were no wording traps and nothing else was hidden. It was fair and just.
Everyone thought there was no problem and signed their names in three copies.
That’s right, in addition to Ye Jiayue and Lan Xin, Liu Manyun and Qin Tianxiao also signed one.
Fortunately, Lu Yao and the others took future developments into consideration and copied a lot of documents.
Yes, photocopy.
This is not only convenient and saves trouble, but also effectively prevents contract fraud.
after all,
In this era, paper and notes can be traced, but the paper and ink provided by space are unique. Apart from them, there is no other one.
Each party will get one copy, and the remaining copy will be taken to the government office tomorrow to process the documents for record keeping.
Although they are a family, brothers should settle accounts clearly. In order to avoid any misunderstandings and hurt feelings in the future, these procedures must be followed.
Naturally, they believed that they would not do anything to hurt each other's feelings, but who could say for sure what would happen in the future?
It was getting late, so the family did not go out, but went to a nearby restaurant.
As it happened, the restaurant had a large private room that was big enough for them all to sit down.
So, Ding Er, the waiter, the maids and other attendants ate in the outer room, while his family went to the private room.
The private room is very large, with a large round table that can accommodate 20 to 30 people.
Lu Yao only now realized that the owner of this restaurant was on good terms with Liu Manyun. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to immediately vacate such a nice private room when they came on short notice.
The whole family hadn't eaten together for some time, and they didn't have the habit of not talking while eating or sleeping. They ate their fill while talking.
"My cousin's wife's cooking is still the best." Rong Ziyu put down his bowl and chopsticks, took a sip of tea, and finally sighed.
Liu Manyun scolded: "Girl, why do you eat so much?"
Rong Ziyu chuckled: "I'm just settling for second best. Besides, my cousin's wife works so hard, I can't let her suffer any more."
"You have a conscience." Liu Manyun said, and ignored her. She put down her chopsticks and took a sip of tea.
After a long day today, she was really hungry.
After dinner, no one stayed any longer and everyone went home to rest.
There are still many things to do tomorrow.
Lu Yao and his wife rode in Lu Mingxiu's carriage towards home.
In the car, Lu Yao suddenly said, "Brother, why don't you open a shop too?"
Lu Mingxiu was surprised for a moment, then said, "I have my own plans."
"What are your plans?" Lu Yao was rarely aggressive.
She knew exactly what kind of person her brother was. "I took out the things my parents had left with me and exchanged them for two shops and a farm. They've already been renovated. You can just have someone take care of them when the time comes."
Lu Mingxiu didn't expect his little sister to act on her own, and frowned reflexively: "How could you..."
"Brother," Lu Yao interrupted him, "I didn't remember it before, but now I remember it. How could I keep it for myself and make your life difficult?"
"I know you feel bad for me, and I feel bad for you too," Lu Yao continued without pausing, "These are all left by my parents. You must accept them."
Rong Yanhui spoke at the right time: "Brother, just accept it. Don't make Sister Yao sad."
Lu Mingxiu opened his mouth for a long time before he slowly spoke: "What my parents left behind should include my younger sister. Besides, without my younger sister, it would be impossible..."
He didn't say the rest of the words, but everyone present understood the unspoken meaning.
