Chapter 216 Request
Shang Wan went directly to the counter to find Lu Chengjing and told him what happened.
"Yurongsan and Baiyugao are different from Wanyonggao. Their main function is beauty. Even if they are mass-produced, they will not attract much attention." Shang Wan first said his thoughts, "If they sell well, we may be able to cooperate with Boss Zhong for a long time in the future."
Shang Wan thinks it’s a good idea to sell products through multiple channels.
She said, "I want to agree, but we still need to discuss the price and the details of the cooperation."
The question that Lu Chengjing was concerned about was: "Are there enough medicinal herbs and spring water?"
Shang Wan nodded.
Not only did the number of spiritual fields in her space increase, but as the number of spiritual fields increased, the flow of time also accelerated. Now planting herbs was much faster than before.
Except for herbs like ginseng which need to be aged, almost all others can be mass-produced.
The herbs used to make Yurong Powder and Yurong Paste can be mass-produced, so there is no need to worry about herbal reserves.
The amount of spiritual spring water has increased with the increase of spiritual fields. The spring water is constantly bubbling out, and a small lake has been formed.
Compared to when he first came here, Shang Wan's space has changed a lot.
After some discussion, Shang Wan asked Xiao Huan to come over and temporarily take over the accounting job, while she and Lu Chengjing went to meet Manager Zhong.
In the backyard, Shitou had already started talking, and all he could talk about was gossip he had heard from the boss ladies this morning.
Everyone has a tendency to gossip.
Manager Zhong held the teacup in his hand and listened attentively.
If Shang Wan and Lu Chengjing hadn't come back, he would probably have forgotten what he was here for.
Both sharing gossip and listening to gossip make people happy. Shitou stopped talking unsatisfied and planned to go to the front to let someone else continue sharing.
As soon as Shi Tou left, the originally cheerful atmosphere immediately became serious.
Manager Zhong coughed, and his eyes swept past Lu Chengjing and then fell on Shang Wan's face, "What do you think, Manager Shang?"
"Since you are sincere about the business, I won't beat around the bush." Shang Wan said, "I can't do the price you gave me just now."
Hearing this, Manager Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Manager Shang, you can only gain something if you lose something in business."
"I run a small business, and I can't compare to Boss Zhong's profound background." Shang Wan tapped the table. "Today is the first day of the opening of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion. I have already lost a lot in order to attract customers. If I continue to lose money, I'm afraid my Spiritual Medicine Pavilion will have to close tomorrow."
Manager Zhong put down the teacup and curled the corners of his lips slightly.
Lu Chengjing spoke at the right time: "The price of the all-purpose ointment is 7.80 taels per box, and the price of the wound medicine remains unchanged. If Manager Zhong thinks it's okay, we will sign the contract and deliver the goods before the day after tomorrow."
Shang Wan nodded beside her. It was obvious that this was something she and Lu Chengjing had discussed in advance.
"This... I came here with sincerity. We will have greater cooperation in the future. Manager Shang, please give me some profit." Manager Zhong stretched out his finger, "How about 6 liang 5 qian of the Universal Ointment and 8 qian of the Golden Wound Medicine?"
Shang Wan smiled and drank tea from the cup.
Lu Chengjing was haggling with Manager Zhong. Both parties were well versed in bargaining, and with some give and take, the price gradually moved towards the middle.
Feeling that it was about time, Shang Wan put down the teacup.
The teacup hit the table, making a slight crisp sound.
"Manager Zhong, I believe you already know that Doctor Sun from Gu'an Hall has specified that he will order medicinal materials from my Spiritual Medicine Pavilion from now on."
Manager Zhong nodded, he had indeed heard about this.
Shang Wan smiled faintly, "I added good medicine to the wound medicine. I think Boss Zhong has already asked someone to test the efficacy of the medicine, otherwise he wouldn't have ordered so much.
I can guarantee that the golden wound medicine produced by my Spiritual Medicine Pavilion is as effective as the golden wound medicine that costs twenty or thirty taels of silver per bottle out there.
Now that the business has just opened, I am willing to give discounts so that everyone can buy the products and try them out. If they find them useful, they can come back to repurchase, or help promote Lingyao Pavilion and build up its reputation.
But I won’t keep losing money, and price increases are inevitable in the future. One tael of silver per bottle is already the base price, and I really can’t make it for less than one tael.
If Manager Zhong is not satisfied, please go to another store."
Shang Wan made a gesture to drive the customer away, and Lu Chengjing kept silent, seeming to agree with Shang Wan's decision.
Manager Zhong naturally wouldn't leave. Bargaining is a part of the process. It's enough to bargain until the other person is angry.
He raised the corners of his lips, and a faint smile appeared on his always expressionless face, "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Shang, I am just following orders, let's talk about it later."
Shang Wan secretly sighed, it turns out this person can laugh. She thought his facial features were dead and could not move.
She curled her lips and said in a bad tone, "I don't do business at a loss. I'm afraid I can't get along with Manager Zhong."
Seeing that Shang Wan was getting a little anxious, Manager Zhong secretly glanced at Lu Chengjing.
Lu Chengjing was seen drinking tea calmly, with no trace of the excitement he had when bargaining with him before, and it seemed that he didn't care whether this deal would be successful or not.
Manager Zhong thought about the lowest price given by his boss, and was also worried that if he really angered Shang Wan, he would not be able to do his job well, so he finally gave in.
The final price was seven taels and two qian of silver for a box of the all-purpose ointment and one tael of silver for a bottle of the golden wound medicine.
The two parties signed a contract, and Steward Zhong paid a deposit of one hundred taels in advance, and would pay the balance when all the medicines were available.
Manager Zhong was not in a hurry to leave and continued to discuss the ordering of Yurong Powder and Baiyu Paste with Shang Wan and the others.
Shang Wan said: "I can supply the goods, but I have a request."
"please say."
"You can resell them, but the boxes and bottles must have the emblem of our Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, so that everyone who buys the medicine will know that Yurong Powder and Baiyu Paste are from our Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, and you cannot mislead customers in any way."
Shang Wan's goal is to make Lingyao Pavilion bigger and stronger to create a brand effect, not just to make money. She doesn't want the good things she researched to end up being used by others.
Zhongli is capable of taking over someone else's nest, so she has to nip the potential danger in the bud.
As soon as these words were spoken, Manager Zhong's expression became visibly stiff.
Obviously he didn't expect Shang Wanhui to make such a request.
"Shopkeeper Shang, what you said is a bit unreasonable."
Shang Wan acted quite indifferent, "If you feel it's difficult, you can just not cooperate. I'm fine selling on my own."
The thing is in her hand, so isn't it up to her to give it to whomever she wants?
Although Boss Zhong is gone, there will still be Boss Li, Boss Wang, Boss Zhou, etc. As long as the products are good, there will be no shortage of customers.
Manager Zhong: “…”
Why does this woman like to push money away so much?
Wouldn’t it be nice to make money?
Lu Chengjing put down the teacup and looked at the silent Steward Zhong, "If the Steward can't make the decision, why not go back and ask Boss Zhong first."
He gave them a way out, and Manager Zhong took it.
He really couldn't agree to anything on his own initiative without the boss's permission.
Although the process was a bit tiring, at least a deal was done. Shang Wan still politely sent Manager Zhong out and gave him a bag of jujube paste cakes, as she had noticed that he quite liked them.
