Chapter 109 The Great Qin Beauty Hall
Everything was ready, and the next step was the crucial contract signing. Ying Wuyou sat with his brother Ying Gaolu, sister Ying Yunman, and two younger sisters, Ying Lingyuan and Ying Yueying, each with a look of anticipation and excitement on their faces. Before them lay contracts, detailing each person's rights and responsibilities.
Ying Wuyou sat at the head of the table, her gaze firm and confident. She picked up the contract and carefully read every clause, ensuring there were no omissions or ambiguities. Then, she looked up at the other four people and solemnly said, "This contract is related to our future profit sharing, so I hope everyone will take it seriously."
Ying Yunman, Ying Gaolu, and Ying Gaoshan all nodded in agreement. They knew this was a rare opportunity, and if they could seize it, it would bring them enormous benefits. Although Ying Lingyuan and Ying Yueying were younger, they also understood the importance of this cooperation. They clenched their fists tightly, their hearts filled with anticipation for the future.
Next, Ying Wuyou began to explain the details of the contract to everyone. She pointed out that she would own 50% of the shares, while Ying Yunman, Ying Gaolu, and Ying Gaoshan would each own 10%, and Ying Lingyuan and Ying Yueying would each own 5%.
With Ying Wuyou's patient explanation, the others gradually understood the contents of the contract. Then, one by one, they picked up a pen, signed their names, and pressed their fingerprints on the contract. This moment signified that they had officially become partners, a community of shared interests.
As the last person signed, enthusiastic applause filled the room. Everyone congratulated each other, their eyes sparkling with joy. They knew that from this moment on, they were no longer individuals working alone, but a united and collaborative team. Under Ying Wuyou's leadership, they would work together to realize their own value.
Today, Xianyang City enjoyed an exceptionally bright day. Sunlight streamed down, and a gentle breeze blew, as if heaven itself had bestowed its finest blessings upon the opening of Daqin Beauty Hall.
Ying Wuyou, dressed in a long purple dress, the cascading hem swaying gently with her movements, her eyes brimming with anticipation and confidence. Ying Yunman, in a pink dress, her hair styled in a high bun, was as elegant as a flower blooming in spring. Together with the others, they meticulously arranged the shop, neatly displaying rows of exquisite soaps. The soaps exuded a captivating fragrance, like mysterious treasures waiting to be discovered.
The servants who had been waiting outside were all extremely nervous. Remembering their mistress's instructions, they wished they could rush in immediately. They all knew that the scented soap had already quietly spread among the ladies of various households, and that owning a bar of it was a source of pride. If they couldn't buy it today, punishment might await them. Thinking of this, they were even more eager to burst in, but reason kept them waiting anxiously outside.
As time passed, the opening day finally arrived. The area in front of the Da Qin Beauty Hall was brightly decorated and bustling with activity. Many residents of Xianyang City were drawn to the lively scene, gazing around curiously with expectant eyes.
Ying Wuyou stood in front of the shop, a broad smile on her face, and announced in a clear and loud voice, "Today, Da Qin Beauty Hall officially opens!" Her words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples. The crowd cheered and eagerly rushed into the shop.
When people flocked into the Da Qin Beauty Hall shop, they were instantly stunned by the sight before them. The exquisitely crafted, fragrant soaps were irresistible. Their eyes shone with delight, as if they had discovered the most precious treasure in the world.
However, to everyone's surprise, the soaps were snapped up instantly. Those who missed out sighed and shook their heads, their faces showing disappointment. Some people asked curiously why the stock was gone so quickly, and Ying Wuyou explained with a smile, "The quantity of these soaps is fixed each day. You can't buy more than one; each person can only buy one, and we can only sell a maximum of twenty soaps a day."
This news astonished everyone. In Xianyang, no one had ever seen a business with limited quantities. The news sparked much discussion; some expressed bewilderment, while others were filled with curiosity about this unique sales method. Regardless, Da Qin Mei Yan Tang's soaps caused a sensation throughout the city on their opening day.
In less than a day, the entire city of Xianyang was abuzz with the news that Da Qin Beauty Hall's soaps were in limited quantities. This news spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the city. People were filled with curiosity about this mysterious beauty hall, speculating about the reasons behind it.
Just as Da Qin Beauty Hall was gaining fame, Sun Mao, a cosmetics merchant in Xianyang, was also drawn to the craze. Sun Mao was unknown among Xianyang merchants, and he was astonished when he learned that Da Qin Beauty Hall was owned by several princesses and princes. Princess Jiayang, in particular, Ying Wuyou, had always been a prominent figure. In the past year, she had produced many excellent products, and now she had launched this miraculous soap, which seemed to have a huge future.
Sun Mao remembered that he was still a silver card member of the No. 1 Restaurant under Heaven. A thought struck him: perhaps he could collaborate with Princess Jiayang on the soap business. He immediately ordered his men to contact Princess Jiayang. Soon, Sun Mao successfully arranged a meeting with Ying Wuyou and, to express his respect, specially hosted a banquet for her at the No. 1 Restaurant under Heaven.
When Ying Wuyou met Sun Mao, she was surprised by his refined demeanor. Sun Mao naturally noticed the fleeting surprise in Ying Wuyou's eyes, and he smiled and asked, "Does the princess think I don't look like a merchant?" Ying Wuyou did not deny it, but nodded and said, "Mr. Sun does indeed look more like a scholar."
Sun Mao explained with a smile, "I am from the State of Zhao. I studied from a young age and was indeed a scholar. However, after coming to the State of Qin, I found that studying was useless, so I started doing business. As I did it, I came to like doing business."
Ying Wuyou said, "Boss Sun is a silver card member of our Great Qin First Restaurant. He must have something to say to me by asking me out alone. Let's just say it!"
Sun Mao said, "I heard that the Great Qin Beauty Hall was also opened by a princess?" Ying Wuyou said, "I have a share in it, but it was opened by me and several of my brothers and sisters."
Sun Mao said, "To be honest, Your Highness, I'd like to do business with you." Ying Wuyou became interested and asked, "What kind of business does Mr. Sun want to do with me?"
Sun Mao said, "Princess, I would like to sell your soap to other countries. Is that possible?" Upon hearing this, Ying Wuyou's eyes lit up instantly. She said, "Of course, that's possible. But Mr. Sun, are you planning to buy the soap from me and sell it in other countries?"
Sun Mao said, "That is indeed what I think, Princess. Is there something wrong with it?" Ying Wuyou thought for a moment and said, "No, but I have a better method. I wonder if Mr. Sun would like to hear it?"
Sun Mao asked, "What method?" Ying Wuyou smiled and said, "I want Mr. Sun to become an agent." Sun Mao asked with a puzzled look, "What is an agent?"
Ying Wuyou said, "As the distributor, Mr. Sun, you only need to focus on selling the goods. You don't need to source from me. I can directly supply Mr. Sun with soap. As for the selling price, Mr. Sun can decide. The profits will be split 40/60, with me getting 40% and you getting 60%. What do you think, Mr. Sun?"
Sun Mao was astonished. He asked, "I don't need to put any money in, I can just sell it directly? And I'll get 60% net profit?" Ying Wuyou nodded and said, "What do you think, Mr. Sun?"
Sun Mao was surprised and asked, "Wouldn't the princess be losing money like this?" Ying Wuyou shook her head and said, "You are a silver card member of the First Pavilion of Great Qin. Do you think I'm afraid Mr. Sun will run away? Besides, I only paid the costs. Mr. Sun has to handle everything else himself. It's reasonable for you to take 60%."
Sun Mao was deeply moved and said, "Thank you for your trust, Princess. I will certainly not let you down." Afterward, the two chatted about some details before Sun Mao took his leave.
Sun Mao returned home, his mind still reeling. He was deeply impressed by Ying Wuyou's magnanimity and wisdom, and filled with confidence in the partnership. He immediately set about preparations, dispatching his most capable subordinates to various countries to investigate markets and ensure the soap's sales were fully in place.
