Chapter 153 Negotiation
Qin Huiyin asked Zhang Dazhui to come over and put their samples in front of Xia Ruwan.
Xia Ruwan looked at these small and exquisite things and admired them as works of art at first, but soon grasped the key points.
She fiddled with the turntable in the middle of the dining table, her eyes full of surprise: "This design is very clever."
"These guys are carpenters. They can make these convenient and practical dining tables. Besides these, there are a few other things. We just came from Boss Ning. He was very interested and ordered more than a dozen. I thought Miss Xia, a knowledgeable businessman, would definitely see the convenience of this kind of table, so I came to you."
"Sister, you are truly brilliant. You have such a keen business acumen at such a young age. In a few years, I'm afraid I'll be relying on you for my livelihood."
"The business world is so big, can't it accommodate two female businesswomen? Being a woman has its own hardship. No matter what I do, I'll be criticized. I thought my sister would like me and become my ally."
Xia Ruwan chuckled, looked at Qin Huiyin, and said, "You're right, these dining tables are very interesting. It's time for my restaurant to add some new features. Shuhui, go draw up a bill of goods and order twenty small tables, ten medium-sized tables, and fifteen the size of the side rooms, based on the size of the tables downstairs. Oh, and the side rooms all need these dining tables with views. Also, twenty of these stools for children, fifteen for the main hall and five upstairs. According to the rules, after the money is calculated, pay a 20% deposit."
"Okay, miss."
The Zhang family, father and son, were so excited that they were speechless. In fact, they didn't even dare to speak in front of these wealthy people. They were extremely grateful that Qin Huiyin helped them.
"Sister is so generous," Qin Huiyin said. "Sister, you are generous, so we can't be stingy. Boss Ning is our regular customer, so we give him a 20% discount. Sister is a big customer, so let's give you a 30% discount!"
"You really know how to please others." Xia Ruwan said, "They have Shuhui to entertain them, so please talk to me!"
The Zhang family father and son followed the maid Shu Hui to the study to draw up the list of goods. After the list was finished, they would come over to show it to Qin Huiyin and Xia Ruwan.
Xia Ruwan poured Qin Huiyin a cup of tea. "I've been learning business from my mother since I was a child. As you said, even though my mother is very smart and capable, she still encountered many difficulties. Those men who say that women should stay in the boudoir are simply worried that women will be better than them and trample on their reputations. I'm really happy to see you, as if I've met a fellow human being."
"I like you, too. In my opinion, women should be as heroic and valiant as you. I'd be lucky if I could be half as graceful as you when I grow up."
"Your little mouth is just like honey. Is it because of your good cooking skills or your sweet mouth that makes the customers dizzy with you?" Xia Ruwan chuckled.
"If you're curious, sister, you can try my cooking skills and see if my cooking skills are as good as my mouth skills."
"I suddenly want to know what kind of cooperation you are talking about. While there is still time, please tell me in detail!" Xia Ruwan said.
Qin Huiyin shared her idea with Xia Ruwan. She wanted to open a skewers shop. All they needed was a pot of broth prepared with a secret recipe, and customers could choose their own ingredients and cook it in. All they had to do was choose a shop, decorate it in the right style, and all that was left was hiring staff.
"We can set up two barbecue stalls next to it. If customers want to eat barbecue, let them choose and pay for it and take it away." Qin Huiyin said, "For ordinary people, Qingyue Restaurant is too high-end. They can't afford to eat in it even if they work hard for ten years. But this shop I opened is for ordinary people. The price is cheap and they can eat whatever they want."
"Let me think about it carefully." Xia Ruwan said.
"Don't worry, sister will think about it slowly." Qin Huiyin smiled, "They are back."
Shuhui gave the list of goods to Xia Ruwan for review. After the latter thought there was no problem, she gave it to Qin Huiyin.
Qin Huiyin read it to Zhang's father and son to confirm that the price they had agreed on was the same. She signed her name first and then asked Zhang's father and son to press their fingerprints.
Xia Ruwan looked at Qin Huiyin's handwriting with surprise in her eyes, and then looked at Qin Huiyin with a little more appreciation. She also wrote down her own name.
Xia Ruwan's handwriting is very heroic, completely different from her delicate appearance. As the saying goes, handwriting reflects the person, sometimes appearance can be deceiving, but the eyes and the strokes of the pen cannot.
After coming out of Qingyue Restaurant, Zhang and his son felt like they were in a dream, and they seemed to be floating as they walked.
"Uncle Zhang, why don't I drive the ox cart? You're in such a trance, I'm worried something might happen." Qin Huiyin said.
"No, no, I'll be fine soon." Carpenter Zhang slapped his face hard to regain consciousness.
joke.
This little ancestor is a golden baby, how could he dare to let her drive the ox cart? If she got into trouble, not to mention that Li Taohua would make him pay, he would want to slap himself a few times.
"Thirty taels of silver." Zhang Erzhu shook Zhang Dazhu's arm. "Brother, this is only a 20% deposit. How much will it cost after we deliver the goods?"
"Uncle Zhang, Big and Second Brother Zhu, the most important thing for you right now is to find someone who can keep accounts. Also, you have to learn to read, otherwise how will you negotiate business in the future? If you can't read, and the other party sets a trap for you to fall into, you won't make any money, and you'll probably lose everything," Qin Huiyin said. "I don't require your handwriting to be very good, but at least you have to be able to read a contract."
"Dazhu has a cousin who studied for a few years, but because his family was poor, he had no money to continue his studies. I invited him to work as our accountant and teach us how to read," said Carpenter Zhang.
"My uncle passed away early, and my aunt raised my cousin alone. After the family ran out of money, my cousin stopped studying, but I heard he's been copying books to make money to supplement the family income." Zhang Dazhu said, "When my uncle was alive, our family was well off, and my uncle and aunt even secretly gave money to my mother. My cousin Zhou is also a kind person. If he could help us, it would really save us a lot of trouble."
"Dad, brother, sister Huiyin, we have money now. Can we propose marriage to the Xiao family?" Zhang Erzhu said anxiously.
"Propose the marriage tomorrow," Zhang Dazhu said, "and then have the wedding banquet right away to finalize the matter. You still have to go back to the dam, and time is tight, so I'll have to let my sister-in-law down."
"After Erzhu left, you two carpenters are the only ones left at home. It will take you forever to complete such a large order. What are your plans?"
"I'm planning to hire four carpenters as assistants and two apprentices," said Carpenter Zhang. "With such a large order, we need to get it done quickly. We can't keep the customer waiting."
