Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 119 Tan Family

After Song Sanniang left, Jin Wei looked at the draft and the contract signed with Song Sanniang for a while, then wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to the Jin family.

Then she called the craftsmen in the store, and everyone discussed together how to make the jewelry styles based on the drawings.

On the way back, Song Sanniang and Qin Haodong asked Song Sanniang, "Why didn't you agree to the conditions that the shopkeeper Jin said?"

Song Sanniang covered her heart and replied weakly, "Because I'm stupid."

Qin Haodong couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, "Why do you say that about yourself?"

"If you have money but don't make it, you'd be a fool, right?" Song Sanniang was also a vulgar person. Although she made her own decision, she still felt sad.

After all, this is not a small amount of money. If it is calculated based on the share, she doesn't know how much money she can receive every month. She feels that she can't think about it anymore, so she quickly diverts her attention.

Then she looked at her donkey cart, which was an empty one with nothing in it. She thought of Master Tan's cart.

She wondered if she should at least spend some money to buy some cushions for the seats. The weather would probably get cooler in a month or two.

The carriage of her donkey cart is a bare wooden frame with two windows. There are no carvings or anything like that. But the biggest advantage is that there are long rows of seats on both sides, which can accommodate more people.

For the sake of comfort, other people's carriages are enlarged, and they usually don't cram as many people as hers can. Even a donkey would lose a few pounds after pulling the cart.

But fortunately, they only made a few trips to the provincial capital before. Now they all go home by boat, and the donkey cart usually carries only two or three people. The donkey is now very relaxed.

After returning to the store, the two continued to be busy. Song Sanniang could occasionally hear customers in the store discussing the affairs of the Jin family. It seemed that everyone was well-informed.

Tan family,

Tan Hong was the eldest son of Master Tan. He was busy at his family's lumberyard. When he received the news from his father, he rushed back after two days of traveling. He came home exhausted and before he had time to change his clothes, he was called to his father's study.

When he entered the house, he saw his second brother was also there, so he greeted his father first, and then his second brother Tan Qi greeted him. Master Tan smiled and said,

"Okay, you must be tired from traveling so fast. Sit down first. We'll finish our talk quickly and you can go back and rest.

"Okay, Dad." Tan Hong was a little curious about why his father was in such a hurry to find him.

"I received an order for custom-made furniture some time ago. It was a young girl who asked me to make it. I guess you have never seen the furniture she asked me to make." After saying this, he handed the drawing he had drawn to the two of them. After they had read it, he continued,

"The eldest brother is going to take over my mantle, so he should be able to see the trick. Second brother, you probably can't see anything, but just look at that bunk bed. If your dormitory can use this bed, how many more people can your dormitory accommodate?"

Master Tan smiled and said,

Tan Hong was excited after reading all the drawings. He was in his thirties and a father of several children, but these drawings really brightened up his eyes after he had been used to seeing similar styles at home since he was a child.

He complained a little, "Dad, why didn't you let me know about this order? I came back and made it together. These styles are too new, I don't know how to make them."

Master Tan teased the mynah bird on his shoulder again and said casually, "If we can reach an agreement on the deal with that girl, you will have a lot to do in the future. Just don't complain about being tired. Your uncles and masters and I have all had a hard time handling this order."

Tan Hong really likes making furniture, so he is not afraid of being tired. He is just curious about who the girl that Master Tan is talking about is.

Before he could say anything, Tan Qi, who had just been called, spoke first, "Dad, you have been making furniture for so many years, why haven't you thought of doing this? I think this bed is good.

Our dormitory is already narrow, and if we put four beds in it, there will be no room for everyone to move around. With this bed, my dormitory can accommodate four people with two beds, which is great. "

Tan Qi was quite pampered at home, so he was not used to living in the dormitory all the time. However, he had been admitted to the provincial school by his tail. If he did not stay in the school and study hard, he would only be able to stop at the level of scholar.

"Since you all agree, let me tell you. These ideas were all thought up by a little girl. She wants to cooperate with us. She will take 40% and we will take 60%. She will continue to come up with more designs for us. What do you think?"

Tan Hong touched the short beard he had just started to grow and asked uncertainly, "Is 40% a bit too much?"

Tan Qi didn't think so. He stroked the wrinkles on his clothes and said, "Forty percent is acceptable to me. You should know, brother, I've seen the furniture at home and it hasn't changed in more than ten years. If she can come up with more styles for us, we'll have an advantage."

He is a scholar and thinks in a more comprehensive way, but Tan Hong is a businessman and thinks more about the benefits he will gain.

Master Tan saw that the two brothers had a disagreement, so he continued, "Don't you think further?" The two looked at him with some confusion.

Master Tan sighed and said, "That girl has a longer-term vision than you two fathers.

She said, if we cooperate, we can sell the bunk beds to inns, county schools, prefectural schools, and other guests who need them.

Our furniture can also be sold in the capital, other counties, and the capital.”

The two of them were stunned when they heard the words, and then they felt as if they had suddenly been enlightened. Why didn’t they think of this? So they both agreed.

"I originally wanted to ask you to come back to see if you can help in any way, but it seems that I thought too much." Master Tan was a little disappointed, but he quickly instructed his servants to go to Tianmi to inform Song Sanniang that he would send a car to pick her up to the store for a talk the next day.

Song Sanniang got the news and rewarded the man with five cents. She thought that Master Tan should agree, but he would probably lower the share a little bit. Her bottom line was 35%, so she began to look forward to the next day.

To be honest, she felt that she had been growing up. Although she was following her own plan from the beginning, she was still a little insecure inside.

She hopes to have more experiences like working with Master Tan to improve herself, whether it is courage, negotiation skills, or dealing with old hands, she hopes to do better.
