Chapter 210 I Sign This Contract
Of course, she didn't want to reveal that she knew medicine, so she decided to prepare some medicinal food, which might help him curb the cold poison and nourish his body.
Qing'er nodded and sighed with regret, "The King of Qin is so handsome, but unfortunately he is in poor health. I'm afraid he will be doomed to fail."
When Jiang Xiyu heard Qing'er use the word "beautiful but short-lived" to describe Gulin, she thought of her past self.
At that time, she had been "sick" for several years, and her condition became more serious each year. Others who saw her would sigh, "What a beautiful woman with a tragic fate."
As the two were talking, a maid ran in and reported, "Madam, someone from the Ningguo Mansion wants to see you."
Jiang Xiyu looked at Qing'er.
Qing'er immediately left and soon returned with Nanny Lin. "Miss, it's Nanny Lin from Princess Yunling's household."
After hearing this, Jiang Xiyu put down his pen and came out to greet him.
"This old servant greets the Madam." When Nanny Lin came in front of Jiang Xiyu, she bowed to her.
Jiang Xiyu quickly helped the person up and asked, "Madam, are you here for the indenture?"
"Yes, the princess just came back from the palace, and she immediately sent this old servant to deliver the indentures of the servants in the villa." Nanny Lin said as she presented a box.
Jiang Xiyu sighed helplessly, "The princess has given me so much. This indenture..."
Before Jiang Xiyu could finish, Nanny Lin advised, "This is the princess's intention. Madam, you should accept it. If you don't accept it, I will have a hard time explaining it to you when I return."
When she came, the princess was worried that the lady would not accept it, so she repeatedly told her to make sure she delivered the thing.
After hearing what Nanny Lin said, Jiang Xiyu had no choice but to accept it. She glanced at Qing'er.
Qing'er understood and stepped forward to take the box.
"Then I'll have to trouble you to go back and thank the princess on my behalf." Jiang Xiyu nodded to Nanny Lin.
Nanny Lin quickly bowed and said, "Madam, don't worry. I will definitely convey your message."
"Mammy, please sit down and have some tea."
"No, no, I still have to go back and report."
Jiang Xiyu was just greeting Nanny Lin when Nanny Yu came back. "Madam, please go outside and see how much wine this old servant has brought back for you."
Jiang Xiyu's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this, and she immediately followed Nanny Yu outside.
Nanny Lin didn't know what kind of wine Nanny Yu was talking about, so she followed to watch the fun.
When the group arrived at the gate of the Princess's Mansion, they saw a huge crowd of carts full of wine.
Judging from this, there must be at least dozens of cars.
Qing'er instantly felt the box in the room was empty. She leaned close to Jiang Xiyu and whispered, "Madam, is your fifteen thousand taels of silver enough for so much wine?"
More medicinal herbs will be delivered soon.
I guess this little money is not enough to buy all this wine.
Nanny Lin, standing beside the two of them, happened to overhear what was said and immediately asked curiously, "Why did Madam buy so much wine?"
Nanny Lin was no outsider either, so Jiang Xiyu explained in a low voice, "I made a batch of medicinal wine in the yard before, but the quantity was small. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to keep up, so I asked Nanny Yu to go to various wineries to buy another batch, and planned to make another batch of medicinal wine."
Nanny Lin suddenly realized that what the princess said was right.
This lady is really smart and has a knack for business.
Their princess has been doing business for so many years, and she still doesn't understand many things as fully as she thought.
Nanny Yu reported to Jiang Xiyu, "All of them are high-quality, over ten years old, selected according to Madam's requirements. I have already negotiated with the shopkeepers. We will purchase their goods on a long-term basis, and they will give Madam a 20% profit based on the previous price."
Jiang Xiyu was surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect that Nanny Yu would go to negotiate the price with them.
With a 20% profit margin based on the previous price, it is indeed a lot cheaper.
But what she wants is not just a 20% profit.
Jiang Xiyu thought for a moment, then walked over to the wine shop owners and said, "Thank you for your hard work, and thank you for giving us the 20% profit. But what I want is long-term cooperation with you, not just a 20% discount."
Everyone was confused by Jiang Xiyu's words.
"What do you mean, Madam?" A shopkeeper asked anxiously, worried that Jiang Xiyu would not want their wine.
The other shopkeepers immediately became worried.
"Yeah, what does that mean?"
Jiang Xiyu raised her hand, asking them to calm down. "What I mean is, I'm willing to charge you the normal price for your drinks and return the 20% profit you gave up, but you have to sign an exclusive supply contract with us."
Jiang Xiyu's words once again left the shopkeepers confused. "What does this mean?"
"What is an exclusive supply contract?"
"Why do I need to sign a contract to buy this thing?"
Seeing that they didn't understand, Jiang Xiyu explained again, "The exclusive supply contract means that from now on, your winery can only sell Shaodaozi liquor that is more than ten years old to me. You cannot sell it to anyone else, no matter how high the price others offer. Anyone who violates the contract will be fined tenfold."
The shopkeepers understood, but the tenfold compensation still frightened them.
"But what if I sign a contract with you and you don't want to buy our wine? We can't sell it to others, so what should we do with our wine?" someone couldn't help but ask.
His words instantly resonated with the shopkeepers, "Yeah, if you don't want to buy from us anymore, can't we sell it to someone else?"
Jiang Xiyu waved her hand again, urging them to be quiet. "According to the contract, whoever violates the contract must pay ten times the compensation. If you violate the rules and sell Shaodaozi liquor that is more than ten years old to others, you will have to pay ten times the amount of the previous liquor. If I don't accept your Shaodaozi liquor that is more than ten years old, the same will apply. I will have to pay ten times the amount of the previous liquor."
The shopkeepers were a little surprised when they heard Jiang Xiyu's words.
It was the first time they heard of a customer asking for compensation, and the key point was that the customer took the initiative to ask for compensation.
The shopkeepers present were all smart people. After they understood what Jiang Xiyu meant, they began to think about the terms of her contract.
Anyone who violates the rules will be required to pay ten times the compensation. This sounds like a lot of compensation, but it is impossible for them to violate the rules.
After all, there is no regulation on the supply quantity and delivery time. If they don’t have the goods, they won’t sell them. If they have the goods, they will sell them to her. It doesn’t matter who she sells to, because the price she charges is not low anyway.
Even the price of Shaodaozi liquor in the past ten years is fixed. No one would be so stupid as to buy their liquor at a high price.
They have been selling alcohol for all these years and have never encountered such a customer.
Moreover, after signing this contract with her, they will have no worries about selling the Shaodaozi liquor for the next ten years. Even if she gets more, she has to accept it. If she doesn't, she will have to pay ten times the compensation, or ten times the silver of all the previous liquor.
This contract is absolutely beneficial to them and has no disadvantages.
"I'll sign this contract." One of the shopkeepers figured it out and was the first to raise his hand and shout.
The other shopkeepers raised their hands as if they were afraid of being left behind.
