Chapter 211 Then Sign for 3 Years
Chapter 211 Then Sign for 3 Years
"I sign."
"I'll sign too."
"We all sign."
Seeing that they were all willing to sign the contract, Jiang Xiyu was very happy. She looked at Nanny Lin and said, "I'd like to trouble Nanny Lin to ask the princess to come over. It would be best if we sign the contract with them in the name of the herbal medicine shop."
Nanny Lin nodded when she heard this and immediately said, "I will go and invite the princess right away."
Nanny Lin bowed to Jiang Xiyu and returned to the Ningguo Mansion.
Fortunately, the Ningguo Mansion is not far from the Princess's Mansion. It only takes two blocks to get there, and it takes less than a cup of tea.
Nanny Lin returned to Duke Ningguo and quickly reported the situation on Jiang Xiyu's side.
Gu Yunling was stunned after hearing this, and it took her a while to react. She excitedly slammed the table and said, "I told you she's smart, a promising business prospect. Look at how she's prepared for a rainy day, even buying our future wine in advance. She even came up with this contract to constrain the winery and prevent others from stealing her business in the future. This girl is really smart."
Nanny Lin smiled and agreed, "When you praised that lady before, I didn't care. But after seeing her today, I finally understand your vision. The Marquis's wife is thoughtful and smart. She is indeed a good material for business."
Gu Yunling agreed with Nanny Lin's words. "She's thought of this before me again. This contract is great. After signing it, we won't have to worry about running out of wine to sell in the future, and we won't have to worry about anyone stealing our business. Go to the warehouse and count out the 100,000 taels of silver, and come with me to the Princess's Mansion."
"Yes." Nanny Lin responded and went to do it immediately.
Soon, Gu Yunling brought Nanny Lin to the Princess's Mansion.
At this time, not only many wine shop owners gathered at the door of the Princess's Mansion, but also the owners of the drug stores brought Jiang Xiyu and the necessary medicinal materials.
Jiang Xiyu was taking Nanny Wei and Qing'er to check the medicinal herbs when Gu Yunling arrived.
"Isn't this Princess Yunling?"
Some shopkeepers recognized Gu Yunling and bowed to her.
Gu Yunling also nodded at them.
"Sister Yun." When Jiang Xiyu saw Gu Yunling coming, she hurriedly invited her into the house.
When the shopkeepers saw her leaving, they immediately became anxious, "Why is this lady leaving? Are we still going to accept our wine?"
"And our medicinal herbs." The owner of the drugstore also shouted.
They have dragged all the herbs here late at night. They have been busy for more than an hour working on a whole cart. We can't ask them to drag the herbs back again.
Jiang Xiyu almost forgot about these shopkeepers. She said to Wei Ma and Yu Ma, "Take these shopkeepers to the side hall to rest first."
"Yes." The two men answered and called the shopkeepers to the side hall.
The shopkeepers sitting in the side hall were all so confused that they had no appetite to drink the snacks served by the servants.
"What does this have to do with Princess Yunling? Why did the wife of the Marquis of Yonglin invite Princess Yunling here?"
"Maybe ask her to be a middleman."
"Why would the wife of the Yonglin Marquis buy this burnt knife that's over ten years old?"
"Yeah, they actually bought so much at once, and even bought unlimitedly. What on earth would they use so much wine for?"
"Could it be a winery?"
"No, that won't happen. What price advantage does this winery have in buying our wine? What's more, they only buy Shaodaozi that's over ten years old. Doesn't this winery need to sell other wines?"
"That means opening a restaurant."
"A restaurant wouldn't need that much wine. Taibailou, the most popular restaurant in Kyoto, only uses the wine from our winery. We don't even use ten jars of Shaodaozi that's over ten years old in a year."
"I don't think she runs a restaurant. Why would she buy so many medicinal herbs from us if she runs a restaurant? They are all high-quality herbs that have been aged well."
"I think she runs a drugstore."
"It's definitely not a pharmacy. Why would a pharmacy buy so much wine from us?"
A group of people sat together, guessing one by one.
In the main hall next door, Jiang Xiyu had already written the contract and showed it to Gu Yunling. "That's about it. Sister Yun, take a look. Do you want to make any changes?"
Gu Yunling carefully studied the contract written by Jiang Xiyu. "Both parties can choose not to renew the contract after three years? This..."
Gu Yunling felt that this was unnecessary.
Jiang Xiyu explained, "It's like this. After all, our herbal medicine shop hasn't opened yet, and we don't know how the business will be. If it doesn't do well, it would be a waste for us to buy so much wine and medicine at home. Fortunately, it's only a three-year contract, so we can still afford it. Even if it's more, we have to see how the business will be in the future."
Of course, business is good, so even if they send more wine and medicine, they can sell them all, not to mention the wine, and there may not even be enough to sell.
But if there is no business at all, it's only a three-year contract, and I believe that with Gu Yunling's strength, she can still bear it. Besides, if that happens, these things will definitely not be wasted, and they can be resold if they can't be sold.
Gu Yunling was still a little worried. After all, she was very confident in their herbal medicine shop. "What if they don't renew the contract with us after three years?"
Jiang Xiyu, however, wasn't worried at all. "In three years, if our business is good, our herbal medicine shop will have already become famous. We can get as many medicine merchants and wine merchants as we want to cooperate with us. I believe these shopkeepers are not stupid. We will charge them normal prices and pay them a lot. There is no reason for them not to renew the contract."
Three years is enough to test those restaurants that want to follow the trend of their herbal medicine shop. She is very confident in her herbal medicine recipes and the quality of these medicinal wines.
Even if someone really wants to imitate them, they can't come up with the same medicinal recipes as hers, and they can't find Shaodaozi that is more than ten years old and the best quality and vintage medicinal materials like theirs. Even if they follow the trend, it will be a bit weird.
Three years is enough time for these followers to fail, and it will also allow the drug dealers and wine merchants who cooperate with them to see clearly who is more worthy of cooperation with them.
Seeing Jiang Xiyu's confidence, Gu Yunling nodded and said, "Okay, then sign for three years first."
Gu Yunling looked at Nanny Lin and said, "Go in person and ask Shen Li, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, to come and act as a middleman."
"Yes." Nanny Lin responded and went to do it immediately.
Jiang Xiyu raised her eyebrows in surprise.
I didn't expect Gu Yunling to ask Shuntianfu Yi to be the middleman, which would make the shopkeepers more convinced of them.
What Jiang Xiyu didn't know was that Gu Yunling actually wanted to invite Gulin, but Gulin was not in the mansion at the moment.
Gu Yunling asked Yu Ma and the others to call the shopkeepers of the side halls over.
The contract that Jiang Xiyu just wrote did not include the price, because the prices of wine merchants and drug dealers are different, and even the prices of each medicine are different. This needs to be clearly formulated after both parties have agreed upon it.
