Chapter 226: Driving the City's Economy
On the morning of the second day, Ye Xiaoman arrived as promised. The two of them didn't waste any time talking and got straight to the point.
"Xiao Man, take a look at this contract first. If there's anything wrong, we can discuss it later."
Ye Xiaoman looked at the contract prepared by Lin Ting, which was similar to a normal business contract.
But the general agent can develop multiple first-level agents, and as the founder, Lin Ting can also develop multiple general agents.
Ye Xiaoman had no objection to this. After all, not everyone could take on an order worth 50 million taels in one go.
At the same time, after she becomes the agent, Hua Yan will develop faster. Who has such luck as her?
"Lin Ting, your penalty for breach of contract is three times the deposit, and the deposit is half of 50 million taels. Isn't this too much?"
Ye Xiaoman has been in business for many years and has never heard of such a high penalty for breach of contract. There is also a sentence at the end that says that in the event of breach of contract, the deposit will not be refunded.
"Is Xiaoman going to breach the contract?"
Ye Xiaoman: "Of course not!"
"Then you don't have to worry about this. This is just a guarantee for Hua Yan. Hua Yan's production also requires costs."
Just like Lin Ting now, for such large-scale production, she has to pay 80% of the money to the suppliers who provide her with packaging products.
As the party A, she must of course also provide protection.
The two men reached an agreement, each signed their own name, and finally both stamped their official seals.
In accordance with the contract requirements, Ye Xiaoman took out a box of banknotes and showed it to Lin Ting. Of course, Lin Lin was also present.
The three of them counted the silver notes in front of each other. There were 25 million taels of silver notes. This was the dowry that Ye Xiaoman had asked her father for in advance after she went home and begged him for it.
Her father had no choice but to give her the money to start a business, and he also wanted to see her ability.
Her family is in the tea business, and her brother is not cut out for business.
The Ye family also doesn't want to put all their eggs in one basket.
After counting the banknotes, Lin Ting extended his right hand to Ye Xiaoman.
"Xiaoman, it's a pleasure working with you."
Ye Xiaoman didn't understand Lin Ting's gesture, so she extended her hand in the same way. When Lin Ting saw it, he came over and held her hand, then let go after a while.
"Isn't this your friendly way of greeting?"
Lin Ting suddenly realized that people in this era don't shake hands, but she still explained with a smile.
"That's it!"
The three chatted for a while, and Ye Xiaoman handed a list that she and Qi Hua had made to Lin Ting and Lin Lin.
"This is the goods that my senior brother and I are going to order. We have calculated the price, and it is exactly worth 50 million taels."
Lin Lin took the list and quickly counted on the abacus, not too much, not too little.
Especially the Yuji Powder, Ye Xiaoman ordered a lot, almost one-fifth of the order.
Finally, Lin Lin went to find Wan Weiran, who was responsible for the raw materials.
Wan Weiran looked at the order in his hand and touched the back of his head. The sales of this medicinal material was almost equal to the consumption of the pharmacies in two cities. Hua Yan really became a big customer of Minzhou Wanjia Trading Company.
"Mrs. Lin, how about I open the Wan's Trading Company to Wenzhu County? Maybe I can save a lot of money on escorting."
This is Wan Weiran's freedom, Lin Lin will not interfere, but they are all big customers, and Lin Lin feels that she can still discuss the price of these medicinal materials with Wan Weiran.
"Doctor Wan, I think your company's Angelica dahurica and Atractylodes macrocephala can be discounted by three cents per pound."
The list contained the raw materials marked by Lin Lin, and he wanted each one to be a little cheaper, even if it was just a few cents less per pound.
But for such a large order, a few cents will reduce a lot of profits.
"Mrs. Lin, you've mostly kept the unit prices down. You're leaving our company with no profit at all."
Although they have a friendship, Wan Weiran still believes that business is business and friendship cannot always be used as a measure in business.
"Doctor Wan, I have some understanding of the growing environment and processing process of these medicinal herbs.
If I set this price, it is impossible for you to say that there is no profit. According to the rules of the business, for orders as big as Huayan and Chayulou.
Recently, many businesses have come to me to discuss this raw material, but the prices they offer are much more standard than those offered by Wan's Business.
I think we've been working together for so long, and it's not good for everyone to keep switching back and forth."
Lin Lin's aura became more and more sharp, and her words revealed that she was not completely ignorant of the raw materials.
Also, with such a large order, they will need to continue long-term cooperation in the future. Even if Wan Weiran disagrees, there are many medicinal material companies that are now scrambling to cooperate with them.
Wan Weiran is not Hua Yan's only choice.
"Mrs. Lin, let me do the math."
As soon as these words came out, Wan Weiran hesitated. Every word Lin Lin said was full of gems. Compared with Hua Yan, they really wanted Hua Yan's list more.
In the end, he calculated that although the unit price of each medicinal material had dropped, he still made a little more profit than selling it to pharmacies, but only a little bit.
Lin Lin used to be like that, but now she has become so smart. She is no longer the naive and divorced country peasant woman.
As a matter of business, Wan Weiran finally signed his name and took out the herbs they needed according to the unit price given by Lin Lin.
……
During the period of preparing goods, Lin Ting took the initiative to find Qu Yuanxun.
"Master Qu, you have been collecting grain taxes these past few days. I have some tax-related matters and would like to ask you for advice."
Qu Yuanxun asked Lin Ting to sit outside the lobby and asked someone to pour tea for Lin Ting.
"What do you want to say?"
Lin Ting first showed Qu Yuanxun the approximate income of Huayan and Chayulou. He could find out all this by just checking.
After all, all her contracts are protected by national laws.
"Master Qu, please calculate, can my sister and I collect enough tax revenue in a year to cover the entire Wenzhu County's rural grain tax revenue?"
Huayan was only started this year, and the tax revenue is indeed considerable, with several hundred taels of tax collected per month. With such tax revenue, it will also drive other industries.
Wenzhu County is getting better and better, which is also beneficial to Qu Yuanxun himself. This area is under his jurisdiction. If he continues like this, the capital will soon receive the news.
At the latest, next year, he will be able to be promoted and return to the capital to serve as an official.
"One Hua Yan can earn the equivalent of five or six Wenzhu counties in a year, but what do you want to do, Lin Ting?"
Qu Yuanxun had some understanding of Lin Ting. She would not show him this income for no reason. When it was time to pay taxes, Lin Lin would come and pay it herself.
Once Lin Ting showed this kind of behavior, it meant that she had her own plans or wanted me to help her with something.
"Sir Qu, it's like this. As a patriotic citizen of Dongxia, I believe that dedicating oneself to and building the country is something that every one of us should do.
Since Lord Qu is in the government, he must know many local officials, right? Hua Yan is currently looking for an agent.
If we can communicate with the officials and let all local merchants know about this, the local tax revenue will be far higher than the grain that the people pay for."
