Chapter 685 Signing an Agency Agreement
“Not much. I believe the soap will sell very well. If it weren’t for my limited funds and manpower, I would even think it’s not enough.” The man finished speaking with a smile and said, “My name is Bing Cheng.”
The name sounds like a place name.
"Boss Bing, are you sure you want ten thousand yuan?"
"Of course, I have another small request, I wonder if you can grant it."
Du Mingxian raised her hand. "Please speak."
"Is it possible to stop supplying goods to other merchants in Nanzhou City for a short period of time?"
Du Mingxian suddenly thought of the word "supplier" and said, "That's easy to handle. You can directly pay money to take over the agency rights in your Nanzhou City. That way, even if merchants from Nanzhou City come here in the future, we won't supply them."
"Is this even possible?" Bing Cheng was very excited. This was too good to be true.
"Of course, but... if you are an agent, we will have strict requirements. We can supply only one person in Nanzhou City, then you must sell at our price. Of course, we will give you a more favorable price."
Bing Cheng agreed after a brief moment of thought, "Okay, okay, I accept your model."
"Let's discuss the details. If you're an agent, you'll need to pay a portion of the agency fee."
"it is good."
Bingcheng's family business wasn't very big; they relied entirely on buying and selling in the region. They would buy this in one place, take it to a more distant city to sell, and then bring back some local specialties.
It's really just earning a hard-earned living.
But the soap presented him with a huge business opportunity. After talking with Du Mingxian, he paid a deposit on the spot. Since the distributor was Du Mingxian's idea, there were no official documents yet. She needed to go back and discuss it with Ling Silang, so they did not sign a contract on the spot.
We agreed to sign the contract two days later.
Du Mingxian personally escorted the person outside, saying, "Take care, Mr. Bing. See you in two days. I'll also urge you to deliver the goods as soon as possible."
"well."
Watching Du Mingxian see Bingcheng off, the two were still chatting happily when Feng Bao, the accountant who sold the soap, immediately came over and asked, "Sister-in-law, did you sell any soap?"
Du Mingxian gave her a mysterious smile, "Guess."
"Judging from the fact that my sister-in-law was having a good chat with that boss just now, I guess she must have sold it."
"Yes, that's right, it's sold." Du Mingxian didn't keep anyone in suspense.
Feng Bao was the happiest. Only when the soap workshop was doing well could she benefit too. "Really? That's wonderful!"
"Of course it's true, would I lie to you? And it's... ten thousand yuan. Now we should be worried about how to deliver the goods. Making soap at home isn't that fast."
Feng Bao was extremely shocked. "How much? Sister-in-law, how much do you want?"
"Ten thousand yuan."
"My God...my God, so many."
"Yes, this Mr. Bing has good taste."
Feng Bao's initial joy turned into hesitation. "Sister-in-law, can we make it for ten thousand yuan?"
"No delivery time has been set, so it's not a big problem."
The workshop belongs to the village, and many people receive dividends. If they can't deliver the goods, they will definitely be willing to help.
After the restaurant closed, Du Mingxian and everyone else rushed home.
After returning home, she recounted how she had ordered 10,000 yuan worth of soap that day. Liu was so shocked that she didn't say a word for a long time, and then she became worried.
“Mingxian, you asked me to do this before, but we only have about a thousand yuan right now. Ten thousand yuan... I'm afraid we won't be able to deliver the goods.”
"Don't worry, Third Sister-in-law. I took that into consideration, so I didn't mention a delivery time. I also explained the reason to the other party. We'll sign the agency agreement the day after tomorrow. There's still time to make the soap."
"But you need to catch up on the work these days, and if you can't, hire some more people."
At this point, Du Mingxian said to Liu, "Sister-in-law, soap is easy to make, but the process should be separated, and the proportions and such should be controlled by our own people."
"I understand, I know, I know."
"That's good. Sister-in-law, you can discuss this with the clan chief tomorrow and see what to do. Anyway, it's a good thing that it can be sold, which proves that soap has a future."
"But later on, other companies will definitely imitate and make soap. When there are more soaps, ours may not sell as well. It's only in the early stages, so we have to seize this opportunity."
Mrs. Liu nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, I understand."
The family was quite happy that so many soaps were sold at once, but they were also worried that Liu's family wouldn't be able to keep up. The next day, since three days had passed at the wine shop and they weren't as busy, everyone went to help make soaps.
Du Mingxian didn't go. She stayed at home with Ling Silang to discuss how to write the agency documents and the agency fee, which she hadn't decided on before.
After much discussion, the two finally agreed on an agency fee of 300 taels of silver, and the wholesale price was reduced significantly. This way, they could make a lot of money by selling in large quantities.
For the first three days after the restaurant opened, Du Mingxian went there every day. On the fourth day, she and Ling Silang spent the whole day at home thinking about the paperwork. On the fifth day, the two went to the county to look at houses.
As a result... on the fifth night, Ling Erlang returned and said that someone else had come to his door wanting soap.
Others wouldn't make the decision like Du Mingxian did; they simply told the other party to come back tomorrow and didn't dare to make a decision on the spot.
The next day, Du Mingxian went with the clan chief, carrying documents. Although Liu was in charge now, it was agreed that Ling Sanlang would be in charge of the workshop.
Ling Sanlang is currently in poor health and it's difficult for him to come forward. It would be more appropriate for the clan chief to sign this deal.
The first order was also a big one.
The group went together. When they arrived at the restaurant, the staff were still cleaning up. Du Mingxian saw Bing Cheng at the restaurant entrance; he had arrived quite early.
As soon as Du Mingxian got off the carriage, she called out, "Boss Bing has arrived quite early."
Bing Cheng turned around and smiled, "I had nothing to do, so I came early today because I needed to sign some documents. I feel more at ease if I sign them sooner."
"Please come in."
The group went in together, but Ling Silang did not follow. The clan leader was quite uneasy, worried that Du Mingxian, a woman, might not be able to handle things properly.
Du Mingxian performed exceptionally well, chatting happily with Bing Cheng and carefully explaining the contents of the document. Finally, she said, "Mr. Bing, please take a look at the document first. If there are no problems, you can sign it. We have two copies, one for each party."
"it is good."
Bing Cheng had already understood everything, but he still felt it was best to take a good look at this himself. He opened it and examined it carefully, but before he could sign it, Xia Yu's voice came from outside, "Madam, someone else has come to discuss a soap deal."
"Please come in."
The clan chief glanced at Du Mingxian, his face full of disapproval. How could they discuss the same business together? It would be bad for the other party to know that the price was too low.
Du Mingxian felt the clan leader's gaze, but she didn't care and didn't say anything. She just sat quietly and waited for people to come in.
