Chapter 55 A Secret
"Oh, what does Miss Xie want Zhou to give up?" Zhou Zhong was also a little surprised after hearing this, but as soon as he asked the question, he immediately understood what Xie Lingyun wanted, because the other party's white jade-like hand was holding it
One thing was the gift box Huo'er had given her before, which contained soap and glycerin.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhong finally understood. No wonder Xie Lingyun took the initiative to ask to stay for dinner before. With the other party's shrewdness, he must have seen the value of these two things at the first time, and Zhou Zhong had also guessed that with the help of just now
During the meal, Xie Lingyun must have gotten a lot of things out of Zhuo'er's mouth. The naive Zhuo'er would never be able to keep any secrets in front of Xie Lingyun, and she might even have told him all the raw materials for making soap and glycerin.
This made Zhou Zhong feel a little regretful. He secretly hated himself for not thinking carefully enough. If he had known that Xie Lingyun would be tempted, he should not have given the soap as a gift to her. Unfortunately, it is too late to think about this now. Zhou Zhong is also a very good person.
A rational person quickly comes out of his regretful state of mind, and then begins to think about how to deal with the current matter?
When Xie Lingyun saw Zhou Zhong was silent, she saw a confident smile on her face, and then she said: "Mr. Zhou, this little lady has some words from the bottom of her heart. I wonder if you would like to hear them?"
"Oh?" Zhou Zhong raised his head and glanced at Xie Lingyun, and said with some surprise, "Miss Xie, please speak, Zhou is willing to listen attentively!"
Hearing Zhou Zhong's words, Xie Lingyun raised her hand lightly, stroked a strand of hair from her forehead behind her ears, and said with a smile: "Young master Zhou can pay off the family's debts in a short period of time, and then spend all his energy writing books.
Make money, and now he has researched how to make soap and glycerin. If Lingyun guessed correctly, the young master should want to write a book in exchange for a sum of money, and then use soap and glycerin to make huge profits, so as to revitalize the Zhou Dynasty.
Every door!"
After Xie Lingyun said these words, she stared at Zhou Zhong closely with a pair of wonderful eyes. During this period, she had collected a lot of information about Zhou Zhong, especially what Zhou Zhong did after the Zhou family went bankrupt, combined with her understanding of Zhou Zhong.
Zhou Zhong's character was certain, so Xie Lingyun was very confident in his guess.
Zhou Chong was shocked after hearing this, but his face remained calm. He looked at Xie Lingyun calmly, hoping to see clearly who the other party was, why he knew him so well, and could even guess his future plans.
There is no difference between them. Even if such a person is just a woman, she is really terrible!
"Why is Miss Xie so interested in Zhou?" Xie Lingyun's thoughts were completely guessed by Xie Lingyun, which left Zhou Zhong with nothing to say and could only change the subject by asking rhetorical questions.
Seeing that Zhou Zhong did not deny it, the smile on Xie Lingyun's face couldn't help but feel a little prouder, and then she said: "Young Master Zhou is so talented that he is naturally eye-catching, and Lingyun has no ill intentions, she just wants to discuss a business with you.
That’s all.”
"Business?" Zhou Zhong looked at Xie Lingyun with a strange look, "Miss Xie, are you kidding me? Although I owe you three hundred taels of silver, the profits from soap and glycerin are so huge that Miss Xie must have already
See, you don’t really think that I would hand over the methods of making soap and glycerin to your Xie family for a mere three hundred taels of silver, do you?”
Hearing Zhou Zhong's sarcastic words, Xie Lingyun was not angry, and still said with a calm and confident expression: "Lingyun never said that she would buy the method of making soap and glycerin for three hundred taels. Of course, if the young master is willing to sell it,
If you drop it, Lingyun will naturally give you a satisfactory price, but based on Lingyun’s understanding of Master Zhou, you shouldn’t be willing to sell the production method to others, right?"
"Huh? This is strange. Since Miss Xie knows that I won't sell the production method, what business can we have?" Zhou Zhong asked again.
Xie Lingyun's grasp of Zhou Zhong's psychology is indeed very accurate. He indeed has no intention of selling the production method. Even though he has traveled from later generations, there are not many businesses that can be expected to make a profit without losing money, let alone something like soap.
I'm afraid only a fool would sell this kind of chicken that lays golden eggs for temporary gain.
"Of course there is business to discuss. To be precise, it should be cooperation." Xie Lingyun said with a smile.
"Cooperation?" Zhou Zhong was stunned when he heard this, and seemed to understand what the other party meant.
I saw that Xie Lingyun did not stop, but continued: "Master Zhou plans to produce soap and glycerin by himself after accumulating a lot of money, but I have to say that this idea of Master Zhou is too naive. He wants to produce soap.
Growing profitable products requires more than just money. Otherwise, I bet that within three months, the methods for making soap and glycerin will be leaked. By then, the world will be full of people making soap, so what's the point?
Is it profitable?"
At first when he heard Xie Lingyun talking about his naivety, Zhou Zhong couldn't help but be a little unconvinced, but when he heard the following words, Zhou Zhong couldn't help but fell silent, and had to admit in his heart that he was indeed too naive.
In fact, this is not Zhou Zhong's fault. Although he has lived in two lives, he has no experience in opening a factory or workshop in his previous life or now. Before, he always thought that as long as he had money, he would recruit a few people and prepare raw materials.
Work can start after that. I have never thought about other aspects. However, Xie Lingyun pointed out the biggest problem, which is the confidentiality of the production method. If this matter cannot be solved, let alone making money, I am afraid that it will not be long before
closed.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhong couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. At this time, Xie Lingyun continued to strike while the iron was hot: "In addition to keeping secrets, there are also the location selection of workshops, the selection of craftsmen, and the management of the government. These things are all important to Mr. Zhou.
It is not an easy task, but for our Xie family, it can be easily solved. Therefore, for Mr. Zhou, it is best to find a trustworthy businessman to cooperate. Our Xie family just meets all the requirements of Mr. Zhou!
"
After listening to this, Zhou Zhong pondered again for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "Well, Miss Xie is indeed very eloquent. Zhou is indeed convinced by you, but I don't know how Miss Xie plans to cooperate, and how to divide the interests after cooperation.
?”
Seeing that Zhou Zhong finally agreed, Xie Lingyun couldn't help showing an excited smile, and said in an excited voice: "It's very simple. Mr. Zhou only needs to provide the methods for making soap and glycerin. As for the location of the workshop, the recruitment of craftsmen, and the production of
Confidentiality and other matters are all the responsibility of our Xie family. As for the share of the cooperation, our Xie family accounts for 80%, and Mr. Zhou can get the remaining 20% by sitting at home, how about it?"
Hearing Xie Lingyun's big talk and taking 80% of the profit in one fell swoop, Zhou Zhong immediately sneered and said: "Miss Xie is really good at calculating, taking 80% of the profit in one fell swoop. This is definitely not possible!"
"Oh, then I wonder how Mr. Zhou plans to divide it?" Xie Lingyun'e frowned slightly, she had a bad premonition.
Zhou Zhong's mind was spinning very fast. When he heard Xie Lingyun's cooperation plan, he had already thought of another cooperation plan. He smiled and said: "Put aside the issue of sharing for the time being. Now Zhou has nothing to do."
I am powerless and cannot compare with your Xie family's wealth and wealth, so I dare not cooperate with you alone."
Hearing Zhou Zhong's words, Xie Lingyun felt her heart skip a beat, and her eyebrows furrowed even more tightly as she said, "What are Mr. Zhou's plans? Please speak out!"
"My plan is also very simple. Although Songjiang Mansion is not big, there are still some people whom Zhou trusts, and they do not necessarily have to cooperate with the Xie family alone. For example, Uncle Wang Lun, who has always treated Zhou well, for
In order to repay Uncle Wang for taking care of Zhou, I decided to introduce the Wang family into this business, and I think he will definitely be willing to do this business that is sure to make a profit without losing any money!" Zhou Chong said with a smile.
The cooperation plan mentioned by Xie Lingyun is very problematic. Although it seems that he will get the money as long as he provides the soap making method, he cannot participate in the management and operation of the workshop. He has no idea about the profitability of the soap.
He can give him as much as he wants? He has seen this kind of thing a lot in his previous life, so naturally he won't be fooled.
Hearing that Zhou Zhong had brought the Wang family into this business, Xie Lingyun finally could no longer maintain a calm demeanor and said with some urgency: "Young Master Zhou, you think too much. Although our Xie family started out as a smuggler, we also
A serious businessman will never do anything else as long as he signs the documents!"
Zhou Zhong was obviously not someone who could be easily persuaded. He still smiled lightly and said, "Maybe I judge a gentleman with a villain's heart, but Zhou is burdened with the heavy responsibility of reviving his family, so he cannot take any risks."
, I trust Uncle Wang’s character, and the relationship between our two families is extraordinary. Therefore, only when the Wang family joins in can I dare to cooperate with the Xie family with confidence. If Miss Xie insists on refusing, then Zhou
I can only cooperate with the Wang family alone. As for the three hundred taels owed by Zhou, I will write another book to pay off the debt according to the previous agreement."
Seeing Zhou Zhong's resolute attitude, Xie Lingyun couldn't help but feel a headache. In fact, Zhou Zhong's worry was not unreasonable. If the Xie family completely controlled the soap workshop, I'm afraid Zhou Zhong would eventually be slowly squeezed out by the Xie family.
Although this behavior seems very despicable, shopping malls are like wars and there is no mercy at all.
I saw Xie Lingyun lowered his head and thought for a long time, and finally raised his head, looked directly into Zhou Zhong's eyes and said: "Mr. Zhou, from Lingyun's point of view, I definitely don't want anyone to take a share of the soap's profits.
