A Blessed Daughter

Chapter 260: I want a partnership

Chapter 260 What I want is a cooperative relationship

After listening to Wei Ruo's words, the smile on Fan Chengxu's face became stronger: "I always like to look at the price of the goods and the price of the person. No matter what aspect it is, as long as Mr. Xu can help me improve the output, quality, and quality of my tea. I am willing to pay a corresponding proportion according to Mr. Xu's contribution."

"So the cooperation proposed by Boss Fan is to let me advise Boss Fan, and then Boss Fan will pay me correspondingly according to the income?" Wei Ruo asked.

"Exactly."

"Then forgive me for not agreeing."

"Why?" Fan Chengxu looked at Wei Ruo with doubts.

Xu Heyou is a person who loves money, so he has no reason to reject such a good opportunity to make money.

"Compared to helping Boss Fan to get paid, I prefer to do business with Boss Fan. It is a relationship of equality and cooperation, not an employment relationship." Wei Ruo said.

Fan Chengxu put away the smile on his face, and his eyes were a little bit colder: "Mr. Xu's appetite seems to be a bit big. Do you think Mr. Xu can be equal to me with your current strength?"

Wei Ruo didn't blame him, still smiling: "If Boss Fan thinks my proposal is inappropriate, you can hire another Gao Ming, I don't mind."

Fan Chengxu looked at Wei Ruo's expression, admiring her calm expression.

After a while, the smile on Fan Chengxu's cold face returned: "You are very bold, but it just so happens that I don't like step-by-step procedures. I want to try to cooperate with Mr. Xu. I don't know how Mr. Xu wants to cooperate." What about the law?"

If Xu Heyou was afraid just now, then he might have regretted it, but he was not afraid, which made him want to agree instead.

"I can participate in the whole process from planting, picking, roasting to final sales of tea trees, and I will share half and half with Boss Fan for the income of the tea garden I have improved." Wei Ruo said.

"Half to half, Mr. Xu knows that the tea garden is my property, and I use my people, my contacts, and my sales channels." Fan Chengxu said.

"What I want to share is the part of the income that was improved compared to the original one. I don't share the money you could earn before, but because of the part that I got the promotion, I will take half of it. If the part of the promotion is brought by me, Then why don't I go half way?" Wei Ruo said.

"It sounds reasonable." Fan Chengxu commented.

"Boss Fan can think carefully about it. I'm not in a hurry to get an answer. If Boss Fan thinks it's inappropriate, he can reject me." Wei Ruo is not overly enthusiastic about this matter.

"It sounds like I'm in a passive position in this transaction." Fan Chengxu laughed.

"Boss Fan can't think like this. He can only say that we are equal in this relationship and are mutually beneficial. If we reach an agreement, we will start a new cooperative relationship. If we can't reach an agreement, then our business will not be righteous. Or can we maintain the original cooperative relationship, what does Boss Fan think?"

Fan Chengxu laughed lightly: "What to do, I think what you said makes sense."

Wei Ruo followed Fan Chengxu's smile.

Then Fan Chengxu said: "In this case, I will take out one of my tea gardens and try it out. I hope Mr. Xu will not disappoint me."

###

On the second day after negotiating with Fan Chengxu, Fan Chengxu sent someone to pick Wei Ruo to his tea garden.

Wei Ruo took Xiumei into Fan Chengxu's carriage.

Compared with Wei Ruo's usual carriage, Fan Chengxu's carriage is more spacious and comfortable. Moreover, this specification cannot be used by ordinary merchants, even the richest merchants are not allowed to use it.

Arriving at the place, Wei Ruo got off the carriage and looked up to see the four characters Yu Sheng Tea Garden written on the wooden plaque at the entrance of the tea garden.

And there were already three people waiting at the door, one of them was shopkeeper Shen whom Wei Ruo had known before.

Shopkeeper Shen greeted him with a smile on his face: "Master Xu, my son has asked me to wait here a long time ago. Since my son has other things to do, I will take you to inspect the tea garden today."

"I'm tired of the shopkeeper." Wei Ruo replied with a smile.

Wei Ruo followed Shopkeeper Shen to the tea garden.

Yusheng Tea Garden is a whole tea mountain, so after entering the gate of the tea garden, there are stairs to go up.

Both sides of the stairs are rows of waist-high tea trees. This time coincides with the harvesting time of evening tea, so Wei Ruo can see some tea picking women on the hillsides on both sides of the road, who are harvesting tea.

However, the quality of the tea at this time is not very good. As the temperature rises, the branches and leaves of the tea trees grow wildly, and the tea leaves are large and long, and the taste becomes stronger and bitterer.

Green tea is the most precious when the first batch of new buds are drawn out just after the beginning of spring. After that, one batch is not as good as one batch, and one crop is not as good as one crop.

"What is the price of the picked tea leaves now?" Wei Ruo asked Shopkeeper Shen.

"Nowadays, the tea leaves can't be sold at a high price, and the nobles don't drink them. They are usually drunk by ordinary people. A catty of tea leaves costs 20 Wen." Shopkeeper Shen explained.

The tea at this price is not what Fan Chengxu wants to sell.

Its just that the tea trees grow here, and its a waste if you dont collect them. Its better to make a small profit than to make no money at all.

Wei Ruo stopped and looked intently at the tea leaves picked by the tea picker next to her.

Immediately afterwards, she stretched out her hand to the tea basket in front of the tea picker. The tea picker didn't know what Wei Ruo was going to do. Seeing that it was a young man reaching out to her, she instinctively backed away in fright.

Shopkeeper Shen hurriedly explained: "This is our son's distinguished guest, you don't have to be afraid."

Wei Ruo smiled and said, "Don't panic, I'll just look at the tea leaves you picked."

After listening to the explanation, the tea picking girl let down her guard.

Wei Ruo took some fresh tea leaves from the tea basket, looked at them carefully in the palm of his hand, and then showed a meaningful smile on his face.

At this moment, a plan was brewing in her heart.

At this time in this world, black tea, yellow tea, and dark tea have not yet appeared. Generally speaking, the tenderer the green tea, the more valuable it is, but if it is fermented tea such as black tea, yellow tea, or dark tea, it does not necessarily require Such tender tea leaves.

Wei Ruo said to Shopkeeper Shen at the side: "Will these tea leaves be sent directly for frying after they are picked?"

"Of course, the tea leaves must be roasted while they are fresh. If it is too late, the tea leaves will be dried, and the color and aroma will be even worse." Shopkeeper Shen explained.

"The tea leaves picked today are spread out with a dustpan, not roasted." Wei Ruo said.

"Master Xu, this tea will wither if left overnight!" Shopkeeper Shen said in surprise.

"I know, I just need it to fade." Wei Ruo replied.

"How many catties of tea does Mr. Xu need to store like this?" Shopkeeper Shen asked again.

Black tea, yellow tea, and black tea appeared in the middle and late Ming Dynasty in history.
