You are unlucky and I am tough

Chapter 175 Qin Suyue

Qin Suyue, the second daughter of the Qin family, is a gifted girl with great intelligence. Because her father died early, she has been loved by the old man of the Qin family since she was a child. When she was young, she followed the old man to do business and showed her business talent.

But because she was a girl, her family members opposed her interfering in the family business. In the end, under the protection of the old man, she opened the Fu Ya Zhai at the age of thirteen with her superb incense-making skills. With the reputation of a talented woman, Qin Suyue became famous in Luohe Prefecture.

But no one knew that all this depended on the protection of Old Master Qin. Half a year ago, Old Master Qin passed away due to illness. Qin Suyue's second uncle and third uncle only wanted to marry her off quickly and wanted to take Fu Ya Zhai for themselves.

If it weren't for the fact that Fu Ya Zhai had made a profit of more than 10,000 taels every year for several years and it hadn't given her some say, and her mother hadn't died to protect her, Fu Ya Zhai would have been taken away three months ago.

Qin Suyue admitted at the family meeting that she would not get married and would find a son-in-law after the one-year mourning period for her grandfather was over. Naturally, the Qin family was unwilling to do so. The final negotiation result was that she needed to double Fu Ya Zhai's profits within a year. If she failed to do so, she would have to hand over the property and get married.

Qin Suyue took the plunge and accepted the bet. Now, two months have passed. She thinks every day about how to take her business to the next level, but this is easier said than done.

Fu Ya Zhai's various products made with incense are almost saturated. Even though she worked tirelessly to develop various new incense and new products, in two months, she only added two or three hundred more products compared to previous years.

So when she listened to the guy and tried the soap, she had a feeling her chance had come.

With this soap and her skill in making perfume, she will be able to complete the bet of doubling her profits.

Qin Suyue followed the waiter downstairs. Although she appeared calm on the surface, she was actually very excited inside.

"Boss, the things belong to these two guests."

Qin Suyue was still holding the soap in her hand. She followed the direction of the waiter's hand and saw the two people in front of her. She couldn't help but be surprised. Although the two people were dressed ordinary, they were really good-looking.

You can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary person. No wonder he can make such good things.

Cheng Shuang and Wei Qinglang saw Miss Qin looking at them, looked at each other and walked forward to greet her.

"Hello, Miss Qin. My name is Cheng Shuang." Cheng Shuang introduced herself generously and then gestured to the person next to her, "This is my husband, Wei Qinglang."

Qin Suyue returned the greeting with a faint smile on her face. "You two are truly a perfect match. I wonder where you are from and who made this soap."

Cheng Shuang said calmly, "We live in Chengjia Village, Huanhua County. This soap is made by my husband and me, but we don't have a shop and have never done business before. So we want to find a good partner to save us a lot of trouble. I wonder if Miss Qin is interested."

Interested, she was very interested.

Qin Suyue suppressed her inner excitement and smiled sweetly, "Madam Wei is really quick-witted. So, let's go upstairs and discuss it in detail."

Cheng Shuang nodded and followed him upstairs to the tea room. The layout of the tea room was extremely elegant, with a soft carpet on the floor and quaint huanghuali wood tables placed in the four corners, on which precious porcelain was placed.

In the center, there is an agarwood tea table, surrounded by four exquisitely crafted armchairs with soft brocade cushions.

"Please take a seat, both of you." Qin Suyue made a gesture of invitation.

The two nodded and took their seats. The air was filled with a faint tea fragrance, which came from the purple clay teapot on the tea table. The tea fragrance was quiet and elegant, mixed with the aroma of agarwood, which made people feel relaxed and comfortable.

Cheng Shuang couldn't help but sigh, she was indeed a wealthy lady from the capital city, money was everywhere in the teahouse for guests, the rich people in ancient times really knew how to live.

Qin Suyue slowly poured tea for the two of them, and then she got straight to the point, "I can see that Madam Wei is a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush. Can you sell me this soap formula?"

Cheng Shuang paused while holding the teacup and frowned, "Miss Qin, I'm afraid you misunderstood. I'm not here to sell you the recipe."

Qin Suyue smiled and said, "The price is negotiable."

Cheng Shuang shook her head slightly. Qin Suyue looked at her seriously and said, "After you sell the formula to me, you can continue to use it. I won't interfere even if you find another shop to cooperate with."

"If Miss Qin is planning to buy the formula, then we have nothing to say to you guys."

Cheng Shuangshi was about to stand up as she spoke, but when Qin Suyue saw her about to leave, she quickly stood up, held her shoulders and pushed her back.

Wei Qinglang frowned at her actions and his voice turned cold, "What do you mean, Miss Qin?"

If he hadn't seen that the other party was a woman, he wouldn't have let her meet Cheng Shuang. Could it be that this Miss Qin wanted to force a sale?

"I'm sorry..." Qin Suyue realized she had been rude and retracted her hand. "My dear, I misunderstood. I'm not trying to force you to buy. It's just that our business has run into difficulties and we urgently need a new opportunity to break through... That's all. I was also presumptuous. Please tell me how you two would like to cooperate."

The two men looked at Qin Suyue in front of them with confusion on their faces. How could she be fine just now but in the blink of an eye she seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds? It made people feel that this weak girl was carrying too much.

Wei Qinglang was the first to react, suspecting the other party was trying to gain sympathy by playing the victim. He glanced at Cheng Shuang to prevent her from being fooled and spoke first, "We will never sell the formula. Let me be frank. If you want to cooperate, Miss Qin will have to follow our way."

Qin Suyue felt the man's cold aura and knew that both of them were independent-minded and would not be manipulated. According to her experience, such people might be good partners, or they might be greedy and ruthless.

She glanced at the thing called soap on the table and felt a little complicated. This might be an opportunity. If she didn't take the gamble, the store would really be taken away in a year.

Forget it, she smiled bitterly in her heart. She had already made a big bet, so it didn’t matter if she made another one.

Qin Suyue's expression returned to normal and she nodded gently, "Then my dear, tell me how you would like to cooperate."

"Cooperative consignment sales is what you usually call consignment sales. We set the price, and after the items are sold, we split the profits 70%."

"30/70?"

Wei Qinglang nodded. "I'll take 70% and you'll take 30%. You guys provide a counter and two waiters. Fu Ya Zhai has a large customer flow and a high reputation. The 30% profit is Miss Qin's share of the resources."

"So how much do you plan to price this soap?" Qin Suyue calculated in her mind.

When it comes to pricing, Wei Qinglang looked at Cheng Shuang.

Cheng Shuang said, "Five hundred coins a piece. We'll start by selling unscented laundry soap, and then we'll continue to do other things."

She began to make plans, "For example, there will be facial soap that can be used to wash your face, and shampoo soap that can be used to wash your hair. The prices of these will be higher, and we will decide when the time comes."

Qin Suyue was silent for a while, silently calculating in her mind. If the selling price was 500 wen, she could get 150 wen for each piece she sold. She was confident that there would be a market for the soap. With the store's customer flow, selling 100 pieces a day should not be a problem. That would mean a profit of nearly 500 taels a month, and she wouldn't need to worry about the production issues. This was simply making a lot of money with no investment.

Although it was not enough to cover the amount of her bet, it was better than nothing. She would just find a way to make up the rest.

After thinking about it, Qin Suyue nodded and said seriously, "Okay, then we will cooperate according to your way. I will ask someone to write a cooperation agreement right away."

Wei Qinglang smiled and said, "Miss Qin, please ask someone to bring paper and pen. I will write the contract myself."

Qin Suyue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded and went out to call people. In the eyes of these two people, she was a rich and powerful lady, so it was understandable that they were worried that she would bully customers because of her big store and be cautious.

In fact, she quite likes the couple's personalities. As long as they have good character, they will be good business partners in the future.
