When she woke up in the morning, Lin Jiaojiao changed into the dark blue brocade clothes that Lin Yiyan had just made for her. After wearing linen for so long, she felt a little uncomfortable wearing brocade clothes.
I was very restrained in my movements, for fear of damaging or dirtying my clothes.
She found a noodle stall on the roadside and ordered a bowl of mushroom soup noodles. The noodles were not seasoned with anything else but a pinch of salt. When the noodles were cooked and served, she took a sip of the soup first. It was so delicious.
After finishing her noodles, she carried her lunch box and walked towards Xiangming Teahouse, which was the teahouse near the government office yesterday. She came here after giving instructions to the girl yesterday.
I booked a private room and told the store owner that if anyone came to see Zhishi Dessert today, he could bring them in.
She arrived at the entrance of Xiangming Tea House and saw that the shop was already crowded. Is the tea house business so good now? People came to taste tea early in the morning. Fortunately, she had made a reservation in advance yesterday.
As soon as she walked in, the teahouse owner who was entertaining guests hurried over.
"Miss Lin, you are finally here. There are so many people here that the side rooms are full. We have no choice but to ask them to sit in the living room. We will serve them according to the tea specifications you set. See..."
As soon as the teahouse owner came in front of her, everyone else in the teahouse looked over, curiously sizing up the owner of the recently popular bakery.
When they heard the news last night, they were all shocked. The owner of Zhishi Dessert was looking for partners. Some of them were indeed interested in this bread and wanted to open one, but they were deterred by the cost of sugar.
Not to mention trying to make it, even if they did, it wouldn't be the same thing at all, so as soon as the news came out they came here early to wait.
They did not doubt the authenticity of the news. After all, the news came from Yu Mansion, and who would dare to question the magistrate?
Some people followed the trend and went to Nanshan City to buy it. When they saw the woman, they recognized her as soon as she came. She was indeed the owner of Zhishi Dessert.
After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Lin Jiaojiao glanced around the store. My goodness, who is that girl? With such a wide network of contacts, she thought there would be only two or three people at most.
"Well, don't worry, shopkeeper. I will pay for the tea."
The teahouse owner got a satisfactory answer and left. Lin Jiaojiao felt a little nervous seeing that everyone was looking at her, but she still had to appear calm, composed and decent, although in fact her toes in her boots were already clenched tightly.
How come she has to give a speech so soon? She is not even prepared.
"Good morning. I didn't expect so many bosses to be interested in cooperating with our Zhishi Desserts. I, Lin Jiaojiao, am very grateful to everyone for coming. In order not to waste everyone's precious time, let's get straight to the point."
She picked up the lunch box and opened the top layer. There was a stack of papers inside and she took out all of them. Because she didn't expect so many people to come and didn't prepare so much, she had to distribute one paper to each table.
She didn’t take out the bread below, mainly because she didn’t have that much.
"Everyone, look at each other. Please excuse me."
After she finished posting, she found a high place, stood on it and continued, "Boss who didn't see it, don't worry. Let me briefly explain that this cooperation is a win-win and mutually beneficial partnership. If you join our Zhishi Dessert, it is equivalent to you only need to open your own store and just collect money. You don't have to worry about anything else."
"Boss Lin, isn't this just buying things from you and reselling them for the second time? Why do I have to pay a thousand taels as a franchise fee?"
"Yeah, this is a lot of money before we even start making any money..."
Everyone started talking, and Lin Jiaojiao quickly took control of the situation.
"Everyone, be quiet. Let me explain why we have to pay this franchise fee. Because we require that only one Zhishi Dessert can be opened in a place, which is equivalent to a buyout. And you only need a store. After the store opens, I have employees who deliver goods to your door every day. All the goods you get from me are at the most favorable price. The selling price of Zhishi Dessert Shop is unified across the country, and there will be no malicious competition. You can calculate that this one thousand fee can actually be earned back in about half a year."
Some people left after hearing this. After all, one thousand taels of silver was not a small amount of money. Their current business was very stable, and there was no need to take risks for this field that they had never entered before.
Some people were tempted. After all, they had been to Nanshan City and seen the sales situation. Moreover, there could only be one store in one place, which meant that it was a monopoly. People here could only come to them if they wanted to buy the product, without having to travel so far to Nanshan.
Some people just came to watch the fun. After all, they were curious about why the owner of Zhishi Dessert Shop in Nanshan was actually related to the magistrate of Jiyun. He must be very important.
Lin Jiaojiao, who was of great importance, was being asked all sorts of questions by several very interested merchants. She patiently answered them one by one and told them not to worry, as there would be various new desserts in the future so that the things in the store would not be too monotonous.
Qiu Xilan was very conflicted. She was planning to gain some business experience and her family was supportive. Her mother also wanted her to open an inn and could help her with anything she didn't understand. But she didn't want to do it and hadn't found a suitable one. She had come to listen to this today just to join in the fun, but this new thing always attracts young people who are bold and willing to try, and she was tempted.
Seeing that these people all looked conflicted, Lin Jiaojiao gave them a strong dose directly.
"This one thousand franchise fee is the current price, and this year I only plan to franchise in Jiyun and Shibei. Next year, the franchise fee will not be the same. As more and more people know about our Zhishi Desserts and know the benefits, more and more people will join in the future."
When Xu Pingyun, a woman in her thirties next to her, heard this, she stopped hesitating. Fearing that her position would be snatched away by someone else, she quickly grabbed Lin Jiaojiao and said she wanted to join.
The main reason was that her current business was not only not profitable but also losing money, and she was exhausted from working so hard every day that she had long wanted to change her business. Although one thousand two taels of silver was a bit too much for her, with this simple way of operation, she could run the store by herself, and it also saved money on hiring assistants, which she liked very much.
When Qiu Xilan saw that Xu Pingyun was going to join, she no longer hesitated and quickly said that she also wanted to join.
Lin Jiaojiao could only say to her apologetically: "I'm sorry, Boss Xu said he wanted to join first, and Jiyun City can only join one company. If Boss Xu regrets before signing the contract, you still have a chance."
After hearing this, she stared at Xu Pingyun closely. Seeing her stare at her like this, Xu Pingyun said hello to Lin Jiaojiao and quickly ran back home to get the money.
When others saw that some people had already joined, many of them left, leaving only a few who stayed to see whether someone would sign in the end.
Seeing that there were fewer people, Lin Jiaojiao took out the bread and pastries from the lunch boxes and distributed them to the people who stayed.
Some people who have never tried it regretted not seizing the opportunity after trying it. This thing will definitely sell well.
After waiting for quarter of an hour, Xu Pingyun finally arrived. Lin Jiaojiao took out the contract and showed it to her. She read it several times and confirmed that it was correct before signing.
Lin Jiaojiao took it and was about to go to the government office to get it stamped and backed up, but was stopped by Qiu Xilan.
"I want to join Shibei City."
