A blessed wife leads her husband to wealth and prosperity!

Why did Brother Wen say that? Xu Zhiyuan wanted to hear why this young man surnamed Wen, who hadn't uttered a sound since arriving and taking his seat, would say such a thing.

Hearing the voice beside her, Lin He'er was also a little confused. "Brother, I came here to ask you to help me check if there are any problems with the contract. Why did you get involved?"

Wen Yuning could tell from the way the little girl looked at her that she thought she was being nosy.

Although the two are not yet married, he didn't want the girl to suffer, so he couldn't help but say something.

Brother Xu, I think the first option is also quite good. It's less trouble and less effort, and no matter which option you choose, you'll have complete control over the sale of these goods. If you're worried that we might cooperate with others in the future, we can stipulate in the contract that any goods sold to your shop will not be sold to other merchants. This way, you'll still retain complete control over these goods.

After listening to what the man opposite him said, Xu Zhiyuan felt that the first option seemed quite good. As long as his third uncle had the pricing power and control over the goods, it didn't matter who did the work. Since he couldn't bear to share the profits, he would choose the first option.

Miss Lin, then I'll choose the first option! What do you think?

...Of course it's possible. Is this Young Master Xu so easily persuaded? Wen Yuning changed his mind with just a few words. Sure enough, as people say, "A scholar's words are like a devil's lie!"

Since others are willing to choose the first option, we can think of ways to solve the problems we were worried about before!

Xu Zhiyuan; also, does Ms. Lin still stand by her promise of free replacement within one year and free repair within three years?

"It's definitely on my word, Young Master Xu, don't worry," Lin He'er replied.

"Alright, let's draft the contract now." As he spoke, Xu Zhiyuan called out to the shop in front, "Bring me pen and ink!"

Hearing the noise from the backyard, the shopkeeper hurriedly grabbed a brush, ink, and paper. Only after Xu Zhiyuan finished writing the contract and handed it to Lin He'er for her signature did Lin He'er realize with a start that she didn't know how to use a calligraphy brush!

Oh dear, I'm afraid I'm going to embarrass myself!

"Let me do it," Wen Yuning said, realizing the little girl couldn't write her own name. He picked up a pen and signed Lin He'er's name, then carefully reviewed the line on the contract that concerned him.

Xu Zhiyuan noticed that the young man surnamed Wen was able to sign on behalf of the Lin family, which suggested that the two must have a close relationship.

Two copies of the contract are required, and after signing, they must be sent to the government office for filing. Therefore, Lin He'er will need to stay here a while longer. I wonder how long Brother Wen has taken leave? If there isn't enough time, you should go back first.

At this moment, Lin He'er was actually a little angry with this person. She thought the situation was going very well, but he ruined it. The contract had already been signed, and she didn't want to look at this person in front of her anymore!

Uh… it seems she misunderstood me. Wen Yuning noticed the little girl's expression had changed, and not wanting to explain further in front of outsiders, she could only whisper, “I need half an hour’s leave. I’ll head back now. The private school will be closed for half a day this afternoon. After you’re done with your business, wait for me at the school. There’s something I want to tell you.”

Lin He'er looked up at Wen Yuning, who was getting up to leave, but didn't see him off. She just said "okay" in response.

After Wen Yuning left the shop, Lin He'er thought that sitting there was a waste of time, so she took out the bags she had made at home a few days ago and let this young master Xu choose first.

Lin He'er: Young Master Xu, let's start by selecting items today. Could you please tell me which bags you'd like to stock in the store later?

"Today I brought two types of bags. The first type is this simple style without any decorations, available for children, women, and men." Lin He'er said, dividing the bags into two categories on the stone table.

The second type is these bags with various shapes and sizes, which are available for all age groups.

Xu Zhiyuan was once again amazed to see the small stone table crammed with all sorts of different woven bags. He had seen the samples left by Miss Lin before and was very impressed by her exquisite ingenuity, but he hadn't expected that those weren't even the best. Today, seeing these newly brought bags, some of them shattered his understanding. He never imagined that purses could be made in such different ways.

In Xu Zhiyuan's previous understanding, a purse was just a purse; how many variations could it possibly have, except perhaps more exquisite embroidery? Now it seems that he was right to listen to his third uncle and go out more; many things in this world are not static.

Miss Lin, please leave all the bags you brought today. The shop will take all of these bags. When we need to restock, we will place an order with the Lin family three days in advance. The Lin family only needs to supply the goods according to the order. The shop will settle the payment in person each time it receives the goods. What do you think?

"Alright," Lin He'er readily agreed. The shop didn't hold onto payments; this young master Xu was a conscientious businessman. Since he was so sincere, she would do her part to help him out.

Young Master Xu, how do you plan to sell the bags in the shop? Lin He'er wants to learn about ancient business practices so that she can start her own business when she has the ability.

How do you sell them? Isn't it just putting them directly in the shop? Xu Zhiyuan answered the question asked by the girl Lin across from him truthfully.

Hearing the answer the young man gave so readily, Lin He'er suddenly wondered if she had asked a stupid question!

Mr. Xu, I wanted to ask, shouldn't we promote this bag beforehand? So that more people know our shop has a new product?

Uh... do we still have to do things this way when buying and selling? My third uncle only said to sign the contract, but he didn't explain what to do next!

To be honest, Miss Lin, I am not the owner of this shop. I am only here today to sign the contract on behalf of the owner. The real owner of this shop is my third uncle, and I don't know much about business matters. So, if Miss Lin has any good suggestions, please let me know. After all, selling more goods will benefit both of us!

Lin He'er... If it weren't for Wen Yuning's meddling today, I could have easily fooled this hothead!

May I ask if Young Master Xu is capable of managing this shop? Lin He'er didn't want to come up with an idea only to find out later that the other party couldn't make the decisions, which would be a waste of her breath.

Ms. Lin, rest assured, Mr. Xu's words are indeed useful.

Alright, let me share my thoughts. This bag is a novelty; no one has used it before. The shop can promote it extensively. For example, have the staff distribute flyers widely, informing everyone that we're having a promotional event where customers who purchase items exceeding a certain price will receive a free ordinary wallet. Anyone who spends over a certain amount can participate in a lucky draw. The prizes could be inexpensive items from the shop. Furthermore, customers who purchase the premium bag will receive one free custom-made bag service in the future. This last benefit is a token of the Lin family's sincerity towards your shop.

After all, Lin He'er had previously informed Manager Xu that custom-made items would incur additional processing fees. Presumably, this young master Xu was aware of this as well.

"Ah! You can do business like this? This is the first time I've ever heard of such a novel sales method. And what are these flyers?" Xu Zhiyuan asked earnestly.

Oh, it seems that the ancients didn't use the same methods as merchants in the past. A flyer can be a piece of paper this big. Lin He'er gestured with her hands. If there are words printed on it, it would be even better if there were pictures. She told the shop assistant to hand it out to passersby on the street. If you want to attract more people to our shop, you can write on it: "Bring this flyer to the shop and get a 9% discount!"

This method is excellent. We'll follow Miss Lin's suggestion to sell this bag. Xu Zhiyuan hadn't expected that Miss Lin was as intelligent as Xu had described. She had her own way of doing business, and compared to his third uncle, she probably only lacked life experience.

After finishing discussing the package, the contract returned from the yamen. Lin He'er took her own copy of the contract, settled the bill with the shop, and then said goodbye to Xu Zhiyuan before leaving the embroidery shop.
