"Let's see, there are six of us and four of you. This thing, knitting is a difficult thing to teach people. There are no machines, so it's all manual work. It's not something you can do with a blueprint.
And there are so many variations that it’s hard to describe the variety. "
"Listening to what you said, doesn't it mean that the later stage of fabrics actually requires a lot of labor? As a result, the cost of clothes will increase, and profits and so on... In addition to fabrics, we have to explore other markets..."
Lin Shoucai raised his hand and the abacus in his hand was clattering. Mei Youqian couldn't bear to look like a professional, so he simply took the abacus from Lin Shoucai's hand and kept the abacus clattering.
"Let me tell you, your labor is your labor, and our tutoring also costs money. After all, to teach you, you have to take care of the crops in the field, and there are also lost wages..."
Lin Shoucai and the others didn't expect Mei Youqian to have an abacus!
This is not the future. You can learn how to use the abacus everywhere. You can read books and watch video tutorials everywhere.
At this time, students who studied calculations in the imperial examination, such as abacus, studied with their teachers, or became serious apprentices, such as some experienced accountants.
At least, someone like Mei Youqian can use abacus, which is amazing!
Mei Youqian, who had no idea that his abacus would be considered wrong by others, had already begun to calculate a large sum of money using his own set of crooked theories.
The two of them were bargaining once again and came to an anxious moment.
At this moment, Mei Bei and Mei You can no longer keep up with the pace of her father and Shopkeeper Lin.
With the speed of the words and the crackling sound of abacus, Mei Berry couldn't help but pour a glass of water aside and drink it.
Her mouth felt dry just looking at it.
"In this way, there are two of you and eight of us. You only need to provide the wool spinning method and the teaching of knitting sweaters, and we, Jiubaoxuan, will naturally take care of everything else."
"Really? Everything from now on will be handled by your Jiu Baoxuan, right?"
Mei You, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke when Lin Shoucai said this.
When Mei You asked, her eyes fell on Wang Beigu, who had not spoken. Instead, he was twisting the ball of wool with his long, well-jointed fingers.
She knew that it was Wang Beigu who could decide everything at this time.
After hearing Mei You's question, Wang Beigu raised his eyes and ran into a pool of cold spring.
"What does Mrs. Mei mean by these words?"
Wang Beigu heard that there was something in the other person's words.
"It's nothing, it's just that the raw materials of wool thread are better than soap, and the market is huge. I don't know if Jiubaoxuan has the strength.
If we make money from this and are targeted by our peers or cause any trouble, we don’t want it to happen to ourselves. "
"Ah, yes, yes! We do not provide after-sales service for this!"
Mei Berry realized that Mei You was getting vaccinated in advance, and quickly agreed.
Originally, Mayberry wanted to say more, but as soon as her eyes rolled, she was worried that she had said too much, so she stopped talking.
Although Mei Bei had concealed her words very well now, the way she hesitated to speak and didn't finish her words still made Wang Beigu think twice.
Is there something they didn't consider?
He suspected that Mayberry and the others were hiding something from him, but for a moment he was a little unsure.
But one thing he was sure of was that this thing seemed to bring trouble to their business.
"I'll just ask one more thing."
Wang Beigu also spoke now, "Did you not say everything you just said? Are there any concerns that you didn't say out loud?"
"As you say, we have never done any big business. We are just speaking out our thoughts out of caution. After all, if we really cause any big trouble, the lives of us ordinary people will be precarious..."
Meiberry lamented in her mind that her boss was so sensitive, while adding reasons that fit their perspective.
After all, even if Mei Bei directly said something about "wool destroying the country", either the other party would think they were alarmist, or they would really believe it, and then their whole family would probably be taken away and investigated for eighteen generations of their ancestors.
The latter is more likely.
After all, even Mei Berry couldn't believe that the heroine's recognized partner didn't have any power behind him.
Mei Bei didn't know if the other party really believed her reason, but Wang Beigu really didn't think too much about it after hearing what he said.
"Go and write a deed to a few of them."
After Wang Beigu finished giving instructions to Lin Shoucai, he went to write the deed. Mei Bei immediately smiled after hearing this.
It's done.
"That's right, after signing the deed, I will tell you how my wool yarn is made later. You don't have to rush to knit sweaters, but you can collect the wool while the weather is hot first.
When the wool thread is ready, you can send people to us. Then I will ask my mother to teach your people to knit wool. "
Wang Beigu nodded, and his eyes fell on Mei Mei and Mei You for a moment.
He chuckled and asked: "Then how do you want to distribute the profits this time? Just like the last soap, you two sisters will distribute half to each family?"
Mei Berry eagerly nodded in agreement, but Mei You seemed to have disagreements: "I don't have to be like this..."
"Hey, listen to me and split it equally."
Mei Bei's tough request surprised Wang Beigu.
Wang Beigu naturally knew that these two were not actually sisters, but belonged to two different families.
And this time, whether it was negotiation or prescription teaching, Wang Beigu found that the main ones taking the lead were the Meiberry family.
But in terms of profit distribution, she was actually willing to give half of it to Mei You and his family.
This actually surprised him.
"That doesn't have to be the case. This wool is mainly your fault."
Meiyou sighed, she couldn't accept such a great benefit from Meiberry so unclearly.
"No way, sister, you actually played a big role in this."
Mei Berry stared into Mei You's eyes seriously and said, "First of all, you discovered such a reliable partner, sister."
In this regard, Wang Beigu also looked at Mei You following Mei Bei's words.
"Secondly, I was just saying that wool thread is easy to make, and difficult to make. As for the degreasing treatment of wool, sister, your soap requires a lot of effort."
"What?! You didn't say let soap wash the wool, did you?"
Lin Shoucai's hand when he was writing the deed shook, and a ball of ink destroyed the deed, but he couldn't care less now, knowing: "How high is the cost?"
"Listen to what I have to say~"
Mei Bei looked at Lin Shoucai jumping around, but still said unhurriedly:
"The goat milk soap sold in the market is naturally very expensive, but my sister has a recipe for a relatively low-cost native soap. It is the best for washing wool. The washed wool is fluffy and soft, and it is perfect for spinning~"
After Mei Bei finished speaking, she winked at Mei You and said, "So I say, you have contributed a lot to our wool business. Let's make a fortune together~"
I don’t know why, it was really touching to hear it before, but the inexplicable sophistication and “wretchedness” of the last sentence “make a fortune together” coming out of Mayberry’s mouth made everyone present couldn’t help but twitch the corners of their mouths.
"Yes, I also ask the two young ladies from the Mei family to cooperate with our Jiubaoxuan in the future and make a fortune together~"
Maybe she heard that Wang Beigu was imitating her. Meiberry turned her head, and her black and white eyes met the other person's smiling eyes. Meiberry turned her head and snorted arrogantly.
Hum~ What a great person to imitate from her!
"As for the other contents of the deed, you write it first. After we have finished it, we will continue to revise it if there are any problems."
Mei Bei said again, and Lin Shoucai, who had just changed a piece of paper and was about to start writing, silently wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The last experience was still vivid in his mind, and Lin Shoucai felt his eyes go dark.
Mei Berry is still as "terrible" as before, and the entire contract seems to be full of loopholes in her mouth.
But in fact, Mei Bei and the other three knew little about classical Chinese. Out of caution, Mei Bei insisted that Shopkeeper Lin explain it word for word into vernacular meaning.
In this way, Mei Berry discovered many loopholes in the contract.
While she asked Lin Shoucai to modify it, she also proposed a new agreement.
Shopkeeper Lin broke into a cold sweat while writing.
Then he narrowed his eyes and glanced at his boss.
Wang Beigu, however, admires Mei Mei's sincere character.
Although the other party in the deed was so troublesome every time, it also gave Wang Beigu a lot of inspiration.
The text trap formed by using some tricks on the deed can not only be used in business, but can also be used in other aspects.
In this way, it is impossible to say that it is really possible to catch someone by surprise.
"The deed has been signed. This time, Jiubaoxuan happily gave a deposit of fifty taels and agreed that after the wool thread is ready, they will give another one when they send people to learn to weave wool. Pen apprenticeship fee.
In response, Meiberry happily handed over to Jiubaoxuan the upgraded version of the drawings of the tools that she and her father were spinning wool thread for her mother at home.
Mei Bei also bluntly said that there is still room for improvement, which depends on the craftsmanship of Jiubaoxuan and the others.
After Mei Pei and his family left Jiubaoxuan with the money and deed, Wang Beigu pondered for a moment and then wrote the urgent letter himself, packed the vest and kneepads and sent them to Zhongzhou...
A care package is being delivered...
