"Why are you smiling? Do you think the conditions I gave are not good enough?" Mr. Gu has already seen the deep meaning in her smile.
"Mr. Gu, please forgive me for not agreeing. The benefits that this goat milk soap recipe will bring to me in the future are immeasurable and cannot be defined by a mere 10,000 taels and a 10% annual dividend. Maybe I It is indeed difficult to do it by myself in the early stage, and the income will not be very high, but once I start this business, the profit I can make in the long run will be more than ten thousand taels. "
Su Wan didn't refuse him without knowing why, but made his thoughts clear to him.
"Furthermore, if my goat milk soap craftsmanship is passed down from generation to generation, Mr. Gu himself must be aware of the income that can be generated. If it were you, would you sell it?"
Mr. Gu played with the jade ring on his thumb. He felt that with Su Wan's business acumen, as long as she gave him enough things and the profit was big enough, she would nod and agree. But he didn't expect that she would think so long-term. .
Moreover, usually the prospects of the business he is interested in will be particularly good, so he will fight for it.
If the Gu family relies on this goat milk soap business, it is not impossible to become the richest man in Kyoto in the future.
"Then Wan Wan can make whatever request he wants. As long as Gu can do it, it's not non-negotiable. If you think the price I'm offering is still too low, I can transfer it to my Gu family business and a restaurant in Xiangzhou Prefecture. I'll pass it on to you, it's a long-term and stable business, and it's not a problem to make a thousand taels a year. In this way, Wan Wan only needs to stay in Xiangzhou Prefecture, and he can make a lot of money every day, without having to travel around, and save a lot of hard work."
Mr. Gu continued to offer olive branches, which showed that the value of this goat's milk soap was indeed immeasurable in his eyes.
The conditions he gave were so generous that ordinary people might actually agree.
But in Su Wan's view, it was still not enough. She wouldn't sell it even if it was one hundred thousand taels, let alone ten thousand taels.
To put it bluntly, goat milk soap can be said to be a good thing that benefits the country and the people. If you take the technology into your own hands and put it into the future, the Su family will climb higher and higher. The combined fortunes of the Su family brothers will be enough to rank among Among the famous families.
But there is a saying that it is cold at high places. The higher a person stands, the uncertain factors and dangers hidden in the dark are enough to make them fall to death. Therefore, this goat milk soap is not just for her. Making money is a life-saving talisman that keeps the Su family safe.
"Mr. Gu is thoughtful and thoughtful, and the Gu family is rich and powerful, which we and other small families cannot compare to. However, please forgive me for not being able to sell the recipe. You can see the future of this soap, and I can also see it. Being a businessman is like As a human being, you must not only focus on immediate interests, but also on long-term interests, so thank you for your hard work, Master Gu, please come back."
Su Wan took his time, and after refusing, he began to see the guest off, making a gesture of invitation towards him.
Of course, Mr. Gu was not willing to give up. He also thought that Su Wan would refuse, so he had another plan. In short, he just wanted to get involved with this goat milk soap.
"It's better than this. I can open up the goat milk soap market for Wan Guan, help you set up a workshop, recruit migrant workers, and help you quickly expand this industry to the entire Jin Dynasty and even the Western Regions. You should have money in hand now. Not many. It is not easy to set up your own workshop, hire migrant workers, and open up sales. Moreover, if you have no connections and want to become bigger and stronger quickly, it will not happen overnight, but I can help you. All you need to do is Just give me 20% of the profit."
He is such an old fox, his words are better than his songs. According to what he said, just 20% of the profit is enough for him to survive.
Sure enough, there is no businessman without treachery. The richer the businessman, the more sophisticated and pervasive he is.
"Mr. Gu doesn't know me, so how do you know that I don't have start-up capital? Besides, good things never have to worry about sales. Even if you don't have connections, you can still become bigger and stronger. Moreover, I am confident enough in my own things. Just look at them. You can tell by the response in the market. As long as I increase demand, expand the area and scale, I can earn the amount you gave me, at most, it will only take a year or two. You don’t need to say more about the rest. I am very busy. , I can’t get away, so I won’t chat with Mr. Gu. I believe that one day, when we meet at the top, I will have the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Gu.”
Su Wan stood up, bowed to him, and then prepared to go back to the small courtyard.
Master Gu stopped her again:
"Wanwan, wait a minute!"
Su Wan turned her head, wanting to see what he was going to say, but it would be fine if she didn't agree anyway.
I saw him pushing a small wooden box to the center of the table and smiling:
"I have been like father and daughter to Wan Wan for more than ten years. I am not here empty-handed. In this box is the title deed of a house in Qinghe County. I don't want to see you living in this shabby house every day. , anyway, my family is about to move, so this house can be regarded as my gift to Wanwan!"
"The mountain is not high, if there are immortals, it will be spiritual. If the water is not deep, if there are dragons, it will be spiritual. This is a humble house, but I am virtuous. I have family to accompany me, my parents are loving, and my brothers are friendly, so why should I be so humble?"
I will buy the house by myself in the future. Mr. Gu, please take your time to leave without sending me away. I wish you a safe journey!" Su Wan saluted him again and said nothing.
She doesn't need charity from the Gu family, so what does it mean that they have to move out anyway and don't want to see her living in a shabby house?
It means that since no one lives there anyway, it’s just empty, so why not give it to them at a cheaper price?
Su Wan had a straight face and was really angry.
She returned home, ran into the kitchen and drank a large amount of water.
The people who work in the Su family have been looking at Su Wan, wondering what was said, but they couldn't hear anything.
Mr. Gu's face didn't look good either. He clenched his fists fiercely and looked at Su Wan's back, feeling turbulent in his heart.
More than ten years ago, he was wrong?
Her adopted daughter is definitely not a thing in the pool. Her conversation, knowledge, and outlook are all very different from the delicate and frail Su Wan who was only interested in having fun.
Could it be that she was deliberately hiding her clumsiness in the past and had been prejudiced against the Gu family for a long time, so she was unwilling to give the recipe for goat milk soap in advance?
Otherwise, why would there be such a big change as soon as he returned to the Su family?
Mr. Gu couldn't understand. In the past, in the Gu family, she was the only daughter. She had the best food, clothing, housing and transportation. He and his wife also loved her as if they were eyeballs, but this is how she repaid them. She was really a White-eyed wolf.
But having said that, Mr. Gu was also very upset. Why didn't he keep her in the first place? Otherwise, why would he have spent so much time begging her?
That's all, after all, they were not meant for each other. For the sake of their past friendship, he would not pursue the matter further and just live in peace.
Keep a line in your life so that we can meet again in the future.
