Chapter 1058: Chapter 1052: Mildly Proper
Gu Youyou had long drafted the contract, and she directly handed it over to the various bosses for review.
“Everything about how we’re to proceed and how profits will be distributed is written in the contract. Gentlen, please read the contract first and if there’s anything you don’t understand, then ask .”
Everyone skeptically took the contract that Miss Du distributed and read it carefully.
Gu Youyou provided the thod of production, tools, and technical personnel. The bosses supplied the workers, the silver for purchasing raw materials, and the factory premises. After production, everyone would wholesale to retail shops. Custom orders were an exception!
Regarding pricing, uniform managent would be implented, and undercutting with malicious pricing was prohibited.
This clause was good.
As for profit-sharing, retail sales would split thirty-seventy, and since the bosses were to establish the retail shops, Gu Youyou would only take thirty percent.
Custom orders would be split fifty-fifty.
After everyone reviewed the contract for a long while, it seed that they were at a slight disadvantage, but Gu Youyou now had the absolute say, for the technology was in her hands. If they were unwilling to participate, there were plenty of others eager to do so.
After a long look, Boss Hu said to everyone, “Gentlen, this is fairly reasonable, isn’t it?”
Although Gu Youyou herself claid to be nothing more than a rchant, she also had the identity of the Crown Prince’s consort. To be able to get so much in business dealings with the officials, they were already getting a good deal.
So had to provide everything themselves yet received a smaller share. Compared to this, Gu Youyou was indeed being quite fair.
“Boss Gu is genuinely interested in doing business with us. I, Chen, will sign this contract.”
Gu Youyou smiled and said, “Gentlen, please look over it carefully. Once we start cooperating, you’re not allowed to back out halfway through. Moreover, it’s forbidden to learn the technology and then break away to work on your own. This contract will be submitted to the Governor’s Office for stamping!”
Everyone expressed understanding, knowing that in business, the last thing one wanted was for partners to turn their backs after tasting success.
The bosses patted their chests, guaranteeing that they were businessn of integrity and would never engage in such activities.
Nevertheless, signatures were still required.
Today’s partnership went smoothly, and Gu Youyou collected more than a dozen contracts.
As they were leaving, the major bosses still couldn’t stop thinking about Gu Youyou’s pastries.
Miss Du smiled and said, “These pastries are specially supplied by Ten Li Fragrant Sweet Shop. After the fifteenth, a trial confectionery store will open in both Beijing and Jinxiu City. I hope the bosses will honor us with your presence!”
“The shop that’s being renovated in the east of the city?” Boss Hu asked in surprise.
“That’s the one.”
“Very well, I, Hu, will definitely visit.”
“The flavor is quite unique and delicious; this is the best pastry I’ve ever tasted. Boss Gu and Boss Du are truly outstanding figures among won; no wonder your Manxiu Building makes a fortune. With such flavors, you’ll guarantee that the ladies and misses from wealthy families will flock to you like egrets to a fish, and it might be just like the clothes from Manxiu Building—so in demand that they’re hard to get.”
…
Gu Youyou’s cake shop was successfully set up, and the expansion of business was also very smooth.
The first batch of glass had been produced; different from traditional colored glaze, it was more practical and beautiful.
They decided not to sell the first batch of glass to anyone, but rather, a few bosses would pool funds to build a landmark-like building on the streets of Beijing. This glass would be used on that building; a three-story structure, with the first floor serving as an exhibition hall, the second as their conference room, and the third for client etings. This was also an idea from Gu Youyou.
Simple, undecorated glass was easy to produce, and what would be on display in this exhibition hall was a unique type of glass, more artistic, specifically targeted for sales to high-end clientele among the officials and the nobility.
