Chapter 215 Establishing a Contract
Chapter 215 Establishing a Contract
Qingluan Street is the most prosperous and lively street in East City.
The Fifth Prince's wife was willing to offer her shop on Qingluan Street as a stake, which shows her sincerity.
Jiang followed up with, "I am willing to pay five thousand taels of silver."
Wan also said, "I will also give five thousand taels of silver."
After the two of them finished speaking, the Fifth Prince's wife said, "We will provide the shop and the money, and you only need to provide the recipe."
"If we make money, you take 40% and the three of us take 20% each. How about that?"
Unexpectedly, Yun Fuling shook her head after hearing this.
The Fifth Prince's wife thought that she was dissatisfied with the distribution ratio and felt that she was at a disadvantage. She was about to speak, but she heard Yun Fuling say:
"If you divide it like this, you will suffer too much."
"How about this, the shop that Fifth Sister-in-law owns on Qingluan Street is probably worth no less than five thousand taels, so Fifth Sister-in-law can use that shop as a share."
"Sister Jiang and Sister Wan will each contribute five thousand taels of silver, just as you said."
"I'll pay two thousand taels, and I'll also provide a supply channel for all the goods, and guarantee that our shop is the only one that can get the goods in the entire Daqi territory."
"The profits will be divided equally among the four of us."
"But I want the highest decision-making power over the shop. That means I have the final say on how to run the shop. I have a veto over all decisions regarding the shop."
"But I may not have that much time to take care of it, so the specific operation of this shop will be handed over to you three."
"If you think this is acceptable to you, then the four of us can join forces to do this business!"
After Yun Fuling finished speaking, there was silence in the air.
After a moment, the Fifth Prince's wife spoke first, "I have no objection!"
Jiang and Wan then said in unison: "I have no objection either!"
Yun Fuling raised the corners of her lips slightly and looked at the five princes' wives and the other two.
"Then make the contract as we said."
Seeing that the five princes' wives and the other two nodded, Yun Fuling said to Yaoguang, "Go get some paper and pen."
After Yaoguang brought the paper and pen, Yun Fuling picked up the pen and wrote on the paper in a few strokes. In a short while, the contract was finished.
She handed the pen to the Fifth Prince's wife and said, "Take a look at this contract. If there are no problems, each of you should make a copy and sign and seal it."
This is a contract signed jointly by the four of them, and everyone must have a copy.
But writing one copy was enough for her, and she was too impatient to copy three more.
So I just let them copy it themselves.
The Fifth Prince's wife couldn't help but laugh out loud, and lightly nodded at Yun Fuling, "You are really lazy."
Yun Fuling shrugged and smiled.
The Fifth Prince's wife and the other two read the contract and found that what was written on it was exactly as they had agreed upon before, without any mistakes or omissions.
The three of them each copied one.
Including the one written by Yun Fuling, there are four copies in total.
Yun Fuling and the other three signed and stamped all four contracts.
The contract was thus established.
The four of them each kept their own copy of the contract.
Seeing that it was still early, Yun Fuling did not delay and simply asked the Fifth Prince's wife to take them to see the shop.
The Fifth Prince's wife thought that the sooner the shop opened, the sooner she could make money.
He nodded immediately and took Yun Fuling and the others to the shop in a carriage.
The shop of the Fifth Prince's wife was originally rented to a cloth merchant.
The cloth merchant's son became addicted to gambling, so the merchant had to sell his property to pay off his son's debts, and he could no longer afford to continue his business in the capital.
I heard that after he gave up the lease, he took his son back to his hometown.
After the Fifth Prince's wife took back the shop, she originally planned to rent it out again.
Who would have thought that before they had time to find a new tenant, he had taken a fancy to Yun Fuling's soap business.
She thought that the shop had a good location and a nice environment. If Yun Fuling liked it, she could buy shares in the shop.
The Fifth Prince's wife's shop is not on the street, but some distance inside.
However, this street is very prosperous. Although the location of the Fifth Prince's wife's shop is not the best on this street, it is also very good.
The shop has five storefronts and is quite spacious.
As soon as Yun Fuling entered, she saw many wooden shelves in the hall on the first floor.
Yun Fuling heard that this place used to be a cloth shop, so she guessed that those wooden shelves were probably used to store cloth.
The shop must have been cleaned, it is very tidy.
Yun Fuling walked from the first floor to the third floor, and then took a look at the backyard. She already had an idea in her mind about how to decorate and design this shop.
Yun Fuling brought a charcoal pencil and paper with her. She immediately found a table and chair and drew a few design sketches on the spot.
The Fifth Prince's wife saw Yun Fuling holding a piece of black charcoal-like thing in her hand and drawing on the paper.
With just a few strokes, the interior of the shop came to life on the paper, and I couldn't help but widen my eyes in surprise.
Jiang, who was standing by, lit up when she saw Yun Fuling's painting.
She has been learning painting since she was a child and is quite proficient in this area.
At first glance, she knew that Yun Fuling was quite accomplished in painting.
Although she had never seen the painting skills Yun Fuling used, she was able to bring the scene in the house to life on paper with just a few strokes, making the image vivid and lifelike.
If these paintings were to be circulated, they would surely cause a sensation in the painting world.
The painting techniques used by Yun Fuling may create a new school.
When Yun Fuling stopped writing, Jiang and others were still immersed in Yun Fuling's paintings.
It wasn't until Yun Fuling spoke that they came to their senses.
"This is the design for the first floor. I plan to put some wooden shelves here, here, and here to display the goods."
"This place has been opened up separately, with some tables and chairs placed in it, as a trial area for guests."
"The second floor is the VIP area. Only those who spend a certain amount of money in our store and become our super members are eligible to go to the second floor and enjoy special treatment."
"I will make some special products and sell them on the second floor. Only super members will be eligible to buy them. Of course, the prices of these products will definitely be higher than those sold on the first floor."
"The third floor is a special area that only receives super super super VIPs."
"This is a symbol of status. Only top customers can go to the third floor."
The Fifth Prince's wife and others had visited shops a lot in the past, and they had been to almost all the popular shops in the capital.
However, this was the first time they had heard of a shop like the one Yun Fuling described.
At the same time, I felt it was novel and interesting.
When Wan heard Yun Fuling talking about the third floor, she couldn't help but ask, "This third floor is a symbol of status and only receives top customers. Does that mean only someone as noble as the royal princess can go to the third floor?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang couldn't help but pat her lightly and said, "We run a shop here. Whether our status is noble or not is of course reflected in money!"
"Didn't you hear what Princess Yi said just now about the customers who can go to the second floor?"
Seeing that Wan was a little silly, the Fifth Prince's Consort smiled and explained, "Only customers who spend a certain amount of money in the store can go up to the second floor. Of course, only those who spend more money in our store are eligible to go to the third floor!"
