Chapter 55
Gu Qingyang didn't want to hold back this tone, and walked over and said, "Meizi, let's not discuss this business anymore, brother will take you home."

Seeing what he was saying, Gu Qingmei stretched out her arms to hug herself, and hurriedly said, "Fourth brother, don't make trouble, he is not bullying me, but bargaining with me!"

Gu Qingyang didn't believe it at all, and hugged her straight away, "Haggling? Who are you bluffing? Is there anyone who bargains like this?"

Gu Qingmei struggled in his arms resolutely, "Fourth Brother, stop making trouble, let me go down, it's rare for me to meet a big deal, don't let me miss it."

Afraid of falling on her, Gu Qingyang reluctantly put her back on the chair, glared at her angrily, "You girl, you really pissed me off!"

Murong Yu raised the corners of his lips with a half-smile, "Now, you yourself admit that this is a rare opportunity, so you still refuse to accept my terms?"

Gu Qingmei glared at him indignantly, and said, "I want to know the scale of your embroidery shop, how many embroiderers you have, how long does it take to produce a piece of embroidery? What kind of products do you sell? What customers are you mainly facing? How much gross profit? How much net profit?"

Murong Yu winked at the shopkeeper who had been serving here all this time, "Treasurer Zhang, tell her!"

Because the flowers that Gu Qingmei sold before were all handled by the shopkeeper Zhang, so he was very polite to Gu Qingmei and answered her question very attentively, "It's like this, there are thirty embroiderers in our embroidery shop, the main I pick up some cumbersome work such as bed sheets, quilts, and tents from wealthy families, and I also pick up work from embroiderers outside and put it in the store to help them sell it. The annual gross profit is about 3000 taels, and the net profit is about 2000 taels. .”

Gu Qingmei immediately cast her resentful eyes on Murong Yu, and said with some helplessness: "Mr. Murong, your embroidery village only earns more than 2000 taels a year. Give me 200% of the shares. I can only earn money after a year of hard work." [-] taels, I really can't do this business!"

In business, she didn't want to do a loss-making business.

Murong Yu looked at her dotingly. This woman, when it comes to business, refuses to take any losses. He smiled helplessly, "It was before when you earned 2000 taels a year, but your fancy looks are all worthless." It was made into a glazed table screen, and these few table screens alone can earn 8000 taels. In addition to the original income of the embroidery shop, this year, even if no new patterns are drawn, it can still earn 1 taels. An income of two taels. Before Xiuzhuang, there were only three of our shareholders, plus you had four shares, and the four shared equally. At the end of the year, no matter what, I can give you two thousand five hundred taels of silver, which is quite a lot."

"Equally divided between four people?" Gu Qingmei thought about it in her heart. It is already the beginning of June, and it will only take half a year until the end of the year. If it takes half a year to earn 500 taels, it is indeed a lot. At least, it is better than selling flowers by yourself .

Thinking of this, she said, "I can agree to your conditions, but you have to agree to mine too!"

Murong Yu asked with interest: "What conditions do you have?"

"First, you can't ask me to submit the time and quantity of the painting. Painting is a matter of inspiration!"

Murong Yu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay! I promise you!"

"The second condition..." Gu Qingmei said again. "I just told you that I'm going to save enough money to start my own business..."

"What?" Murong Yu frowned unhappily before she finished speaking. "Do you think it's time to dump the business here and develop on your own?"

"No!" Gu Qingmei slightly narrowed her eyes, looked at his scheming look, and said softly. "The grandson of King Jiajun, the nephew of Concubine Chun..."

She said, and suddenly let out a chuckle, "If I don't hold on to such a strong backer, am I a fool?"

When Murong Yu heard this, a smile appeared on his face, "So?"

"I will give you shares, even if you pay me as a backer! However, I will definitely be negligent on this side at that time, I hope you will not be offended by then!"

"That's easy!" Murong Yu nodded in satisfaction, and glanced at the shopkeeper. "Shopkeeper Zhang, bring a pen and paper!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly took a pen and paper, and Murong Yu wrote a share contract. After finishing writing, he showed it to her, "Do you have any comments?"

Gu Qingmei has always been cautious about the contract, she read the contract word by word from beginning to end three times, then took the brush, signed her name, and printed her handprint, then smiled and looked at Murong Yu, "Cooperation joy!"

Murong Yu wrote another share contract, signed his name on both copies, printed his fingerprints, and shared one copy with her, and the two of them solemnly put away the contract.

Gu Qingmei said: "If Mr. Murong has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first!"

But Murong Yu took off the money bag from his waist, took out the largest ingot of gold from it, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Gu Qingmei. "These twelve taels of gold are considered to be the money for those sketches last time!"

"Mr. Murong, what is the meaning of this?" Gu Qingmei looked at him puzzled. "Didn't you already pay for those drawings?"

Murong Yu smiled and said, "Believe me, those sketches are much more valuable than you think!"

Gu Qingmei pushed the money back to him, and said seriously: "Since we have reached a cooperation intention, I won't care about these petty profits anymore!"

Murong Yu suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed her hand, then stuffed the ingot of gold into her hand, and said in a deep voice: "Since you also know that these are just petty gains, don't be polite to me, I'm still Waiting for you to help me make a lot of money!"

Gu Qingmei thought for a while, and it was indeed true, so she stopped arguing with him and accepted the ingot of gold.

She calculated in her mind, according to the market price, ten taels of gold can be exchanged for 240 taels of silver.

With these 240 taels of silver, plus the 100 taels she just earned, and the savings she had accumulated before, she can build a small courtyard in the village and build several large tile-roofed houses.

These days, she sleeps with other people every day, which is almost awkward. She has never liked to sleep with others, and there are many people in the family, which is not conducive to her design and creation.

"Thank you very much!" She lowered her eyes and looked at his big hands that were holding her tightly. "Master Murong, can you let go?"

Murong Yu smiled with the corners of his lips curled up, let go of his hand, watched her take the handbag, put the gold in it, and said with a smile: "You can go!"

Gu Qingmei supported the table and stood up, Gu Qingyang hurried over, picked her up, then left the embroidery village, and put her on the carriage at the door.

"By the way..." Gu Qingmei looked around, but she didn't see the girl she had just rescued, so she said. "Fourth brother, why don't we wait here for a while, the girl I rescued just now hasn't come yet."
