Chapter 195: Meeting Strangers, Upgrading the Space (Part 4)
So, the shopkeeper of the wood workshop, whose expression usually turned sour at the sight of Mo Yan, was very enthusiastic upon seeing her. He personally brewed a pot of good tea to entertain her and even expressed his hope that Mo Yan could provide more suggestions for the wood workshop.
"I wouldn't dare to give suggestions. I just modified things according to my own preferences, and others may not necessarily like this style," Mo Yan said, trying to be modest. After all, nothing comes for free.
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper knew that Mo Yan must have some good ideas, so he sincerely said, "Miss Mo, that's not a problem. As long as you're willing to give us some guidance, the furniture made by our shop can give you a discount of twenty percent."
Twenty percent?
Mo Yan started to calculate in her mind. There was a lot of furniture to be made for her home, all using good materials, costing nearly four hundred taels of silver in total. A discount of twenty percent would be around eighty taels. Eighty taels might not seem like much, but for an ordinary household, it could take seven or eight years of hard work to save up that much silver. One of her ideas could cover the income of a family for several years.
However...
"The shopkeeper is too kind, but although my family is not wealthy, we're not lacking in silver," Mo Yan said lightly, looking as if she didn't care much about the eighty taels of silver.
The shopkeeper's expression stiffened, feeling bitter in his heart. Miss Mo Yan was young, but her mind was sharper than some who had lived for decades.
But whether she genuinely didn't care or was pretending not to care, as long as it was beneficial to the wood workshop, it was worth paying a little extra.
Thinking this, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said, "As long as Miss is willing to provide good ideas, everything is negotiable."
Now it was Mo Yan's turn to be surprised. She really didn't care about the eighty taels of silver. Even if she gave the wood workshop an idea, she wouldn't regret it. After all, she just wanted to focus on farming and had no intention of getting involved in business. After all, doing business was a headache. In her past life, her family wanted her to manage a large shopping mall, but she refused.
Now that the shopkeeper of the wood workshop wanted to collaborate with her, it was unexpected, but if they only wanted to give her silver without any obligations, she was happy to accept.
Thinking this, Moyan smiled and said, "Since the shopkeeper is so sincere, I won't beat around the bush. As long as the profits earned from the products made using my ideas at the wood workshop, I want thirty percent."
Thirty percent?
The shopkeeper's lip twitched, feeling the pain, but seeing Mo Yan's serious expression, it seemed that there was no room for negotiation.
Thirty percent it is, not too excessive. If they could really earn some silver, he would still be making a good profit. If they could expand the business of the wood workshop in the future, they would earn even more. So he said, "I agree with Miss's suggestion."
Seeing the shopkeeper's prompt agreement, Mo Yan didn't hesitate either. She immediately asked him to bring in a middleman to draw up a contract.
After the contract was drawn up, Mo Yan immediately asked the shopkeeper to call in the draftsman. Under her guidance, a set of innovative furniture designs was produced.
Seeing that there were no more modifications needed, Moyan nodded in satisfaction. In her past life, there were countless types of furniture, and even a few could dazzle the people of this era. It's not that they were exceptionally good, but it was all about novelty.
Li Zhong stood by, dumbfounded. This child was really something. Just by going out for a stroll, she could easily make a fortune.
Over the next few days, Mo Yan continued to wander the streets, trying to find materials for the drainage tube. The surgical knife and needles were already made, almost identical to those from her past life, but the drainage tube was still missing. As for the upgrade of the space, there was still a bit lacking. She hadn't realized it before, but now that the need for an upgrade was urgent, she found that accumulating merit wasn't as easy as she thought.
