After crossing, I was miserable.

After the shopkeeper of the Satisfied Gold and Silver Shop returned, he immediately wrote a letter and attached the previous design drawings, and asked the servant to give them to his boss and ask for his opinion.

Write down everything you know and your approval of the design, and it depends on what the boss decides.

The owner of Manyi Gold and Silver House is Xiao Ran, the youngest son of the Minister of Taifu Temple.

Since he is the second child in the family, my family didn't put much effort into his training and just hoped that he could grow up well.

It just so happened that he was very smart since childhood, proficient in studying, riding and shooting, and he had also aspired to take the imperial examination since childhood.

But when he grew up, his father was the Minister of the Imperial Household Department, and his elder brother was the Junior Minister of the Imperial Household Department. One of them was a third-rank official, and the other was a fourth-rank official, so there were already two court officials in the family.

So he could no longer take the imperial examination. After being a playboy for a few years, he found it boring and started doing business.

As long as he doesn't get into trouble, his family basically ignores him.

Moreover, he was very good at doing business. After just two years, he had increased the money his family gave him by more than ten times.

So his family now hopes that he can do business well.

Because even in official circles, you can't get by without money.

But as for how passionate he is about this matter, no one cares.

His parents even felt that it was the right decision not to let him enter the officialdom and do business instead.

Because the eldest brother is not as smooth as the second brother, and does not have the second brother's cleverness, he will definitely not be able to do business.

No one in his family, from his grandmother to his nephews and nieces, wanted him to give up his business.

Although the family's financial situation was not bad before, most of the money was used to maintain relationships, so expenses were still tight.

And now, I can be more generous in my spare time.

His family even didn't want him to get married too early, because after marriage they would have to separate the family property and wouldn't be able to hand over all the money to Zhonggong like they do now.

Although Xiao Ran knew his current situation, he didn't care too much. He felt that he could do what he wanted to do and stop when he wanted to, and no one could control him.

He read the letter from the shopkeeper and asked the boy who delivered the letter. This boy was the same boy who went to Qian's house.

The servant recounted the whole incident from beginning to end.

Xiao Ran thought about it for a moment and looked at the design again. It was very novel and creative.

"Tell them that I will give them 50%, but they can only cooperate with our family in the whole capital. They are only responsible for the design drawings, and we will do the rest.

Tell the shopkeeper that this must be stated in the contract.

Go for it. "

When the servant heard this, he actually gave 50%. It seems that this is really profitable.

The servant hurried back to Manyi Gold and Silver House and conveyed all the boss's words to the shopkeeper.

"Fifty percent? Did you hear it right?" The shopkeeper's voice almost split in surprise.

“No, I was also very surprised.

But the boss said that we can only cooperate with him and no other companies can cooperate with him.

I also told the shopkeeper to draft the contract as soon as possible, and then sign it. The shopkeeper can make his own decisions on what happens next."

"Has the boss seen the sample drawings?"

"Yes, and watched it for a long time. I can't praise it enough."

"Okay, I'll prepare the contract right away, and you can go to Qian's house again and make an appointment with them.

Just three days later, still at Jingshui Tower. Go quickly!"

"Okay," the servant immediately ran to Qian's house to report the news after hearing the order.

Qian Duoduo was also surprised after hearing Zhou She's report. He didn't expect that not only would the reply be quick, but the share would also be increased.

"Is it inappropriate to give it to only one family?" Qian Yi asked worriedly.

"It's okay, we'll only sign for one year. We'll talk about it after a year.

My original plan was to open my own business, but the risk is too great. If we open a large business, our foundation will be unstable, and we will easily attract the envy of villains and cause unnecessary trouble.

Now is the perfect time, and we can save ourselves some trouble.”

Qian Yi nodded slightly.

"Will you go on the signing day? Or should I go for you?"

"No need, brother. Just let Butler Zhou go. He can handle this little thing."

"Yes, leave it to me." Zhou She replied.

"By the way, I heard that you are still reading Zhuangzi? But you are not satisfied?"

"Hey, Zhou She took me to see a few farms, but they were either too remote, too large, or had poor soil and poor harvests, or had bad people. I spent several days looking but couldn't find a good one."

Qian Duoduo gently put down the teacup, "How could it be? Isn't there a good manor in such a big city like Beijing? Did that broker play a trick on you?"

"No, we..."

Before Qian Yi finished speaking, Zhou She immediately replied, "I took the eldest son there myself these few times, without any escort.

I picked out some houses from a broker before, and thought I would go check them out myself to avoid being cheated by the broker, but I didn’t expect that they were all bad.”

After Zhou She finished speaking, he quickly lowered his head.

Qian Duoduo looked at Zhou She strangely. He was never in a hurry and never interrupted anyone. He would only answer what was asked.

"Butler Zhou, I don't mean to blame you. There's no rush for this matter. You guys take a rest for two days. When I'm done with my work, I'll go over with you to take a look."

"Yes." Zhou She replied in a low voice.

Three days later, both parties arrived at the agreed restaurant on time.

Zhou She brought Wang Bo and Qian Qi along this time because it was Qian Duoduo's request, in order to let them broaden their horizons.

The shopkeeper still felt that Zhou She looked very familiar, and couldn't help asking during the conversation, "Brother, have we met before? You look very familiar to me?"

Zhou She smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, you are joking. I am a servant who was just bought by the new master. Fortunately, I have the honor to meet you, shopkeeper.

I definitely didn’t know him before. Maybe we just bumped into each other on the street.”

The shopkeeper saw Zhou She's sincere smile and also smiled.

"Our boss wants to raise the share to 50%, but only allow us to sell to our gold and silver shop. Is your master okay with that?"

"Well, my family's head agrees to your terms. But we can only sign for one year temporarily.

If not for anything else, it's also for your consideration. If sales are good this year, both parties will make money and everyone will be happy.

If sales are not good, we can end our partnership after one year without letting you suffer any loss.”

At first glance, I seem to be worried about the other person.

The shopkeeper touched his chin and realized that he had no beard.

"But you have to give us at least one pattern a month."

"We will provide three designs every month, and you can choose from them. But for each design, you must send us two identical ones.

One copy will be given to the granddaughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat, Miss Bai Ningning, and the other copy will be given to the daughter of the Imperial Censor, Miss Sun Xinyan.

My daughter is close friends with you two, so they will also help us promote it.

The effect of the publicity is obvious, and you have seen it.”

The shopkeeper nodded slightly to show his agreement.

That’s how the previous two models became popular.

It would be best if there were stable advertising targets.

Nothing can compare to the competition among the young ladies from official families.

"Okay, then I--"

The shopkeeper saw Qian Qi handing him a contract and he didn't expect that they had prepared so thoroughly.

The shopkeeper took a look at the contents of the contract and found it was very comprehensive.

All the contents involved are written down, and there is a supplementary agreement at the end.

This is the most complete contract that Qian Duoduo asked his assistant Xiao Gou to find, retaining the parts that meet their requirements.

The contract is made in triplicate, with each party keeping one copy and the government keeping one copy for filing.

"Then shopkeeper, I wish Manyi Gold and Silver House will make a fortune every day."

The shopkeeper clenched his fist and laughed, "Same here, same here."
