At present, she would only be safe if the two powerful sides kept each other in check.
She would give both sides 30% of the profits each and take 40% for herself. However, 40% was only in the production process. Compared to the profits they earned from retail sales, it was very low.
Hence, they would not make things too difficult for her.
Manager Liang frowned, and his gaze towards Lin Xiaoyue was already tinged with admiration.
He glanced at Zhou Shi, who was already deep in thought.
He knew very well that even though the Zhou Clan did not know about this matter yet, once Ruyi Restaurant invested in the company, the Zhou Clan would also invest sooner or later.
“Good! I’ll tell the boss what you said.” Manager Liang said.
Then, he chatted with Lin Xiaoyue for a while and finally gave her a 1,000 taels of silver before she left.
How did she get the money?
Of course, it was because Lin Xiaoyue said she was strapped for cash and that she needed money to start making the cabbages.
After leaving Ruyi Restaurant, Zhou Shi and Lin Xiaoyue boarded the ox-cart. Only then did they realize what just happened.
Zhou Shi came back to her senses and quickly asked Lin Xiaoyue to ride back to the Hei residence.
When they reached the place, Zhou Shi pulled Lin Xiaoyue into the house. She ignored the servants and directly brought her to her room.
“Yue’er, what’s going on with Manager Liang?” Zhou Shi asked Lin Xiaoyue nervously.
She seemed to have understood something, but at the same time, she didn’t.
The owner of Ruyi Restaurant, was actually willing to spend 5,000 taels of silver to buy 30% of Yue’er’s chili business.
Also, he didn’t even ask for the price and wanted to buy all of them.
However, Yue ‘er did not agree. She only promised to give all the spicy cabbages this year to Ruyi Restaurant and half of next year’s to the Zhou Trading Company.
She roughly knew the reason for this. It was because Yue’er had limited number of chilis in her hands and could not make a large amount of spicy cabbage.
If Ruyi Restaurant and the Zhou Trading Company were to split it this year, they probably wouldn’t be able to get much each.
Although she wanted to cooperate with Yue’er, she did not represent the Zhou Trading Company. More importantly, she did not have the right to.
What was Yue’er thinking?
Lin Xiaoyue was prepared to talk to Zhou Shi about this.
Lin Xiaoyue held Zhou Shi’s hand and explained the situation to her.
“Thank you for today. Without you with me, I’m afraid 1’11 get into trouble.”
Lin Xiaoyue told Zhou Shi about her thoughts and plans.
After Zhou Shi heard this, her eyes widened, and she was extremely shocked.
“What Ruyi Restaurant is interested in is not the 30% share, but the goods produced by the workshop.”
“Take the spicy cabbage for example. Even if we sell it to Ruyi Restaurant at 10 wen per catty, the profit will only be 6 or 7 wen.”
“But if you sell it as a dish or seasoning, the value is greater. We can sell it at 20 to 30 wen per catty. The profit would be much higher.”
“They only want to control me, the source of production.”
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Zhou Shi.
“Since the Ruyi Restaurant is optimistic about our chili business, the Zhou Trading Company will definitely be interested.”
“You might as well talk to your father when you return home this time and ask him for help.”
“Get the Zhou Trading Company to pay the 5,000 taels of silver. Then, you can promise to give them half of the supply at the same price we sell to Ruyi Restaurant, but tell them to give you 30% of the profit. They should agree.”
The Ruyi Restaurant and the Zhou Trading Company would each hold 30% of the shares.
With these two parties around, she was safe.
There was no need to worry that there would be a fourth party interfering in this business, because the two giants would never allow it.
Hehe, speaking of which, she did help out by letting these two big shots cooperate, right?
Zhou Shi’s eyes lit up.
Asking the Zhou Trading Company to give her money, and she takes the profit?
“Yue’er, will it work?” Previously, she thought that her husband had made a lot of money by selling a few shops.
Now that she had met Yue’er, why did she feel like this was…more profitable than selling a shop? Not only would she earn more, but she also didn’t have to spend any money.
If this really worked, in just a few days, she would have 5,000 taels..
