Chapter 174 Our Boss Doesn't Do Any Work
When Lin Yan and Quan Wenxue returned to the restaurant, Fu Bo and Quan Sinian were still negotiating their business. Apparently, this was the fourth round of negotiations. Lin Yan glanced over and saw the two men's faces, which were almost frozen from smiling, and felt a sense of relief.
"I will never drink again." Lin Yu quietly made his vow while eating lunch.
Lin Yan said, "Your family brews wine, and you actually say you don't drink!"
Lin Yu gave her a resentful look.
Is it appropriate for you to urge me to drink?
Lin Yan blinked. "It's not like I'm asking you to drink it now. I'm leaving you a way out when you grow up! Just in case you..."
"Stop! Eat yours!" Lin Yu interrupted his sister's daydreams and stuffed a piece of crispy pork into her mouth.
Quan Sinian sighed and said, "Wenxue and I will go back to the old house tomorrow. I'm not going to linger here. It's only been half a day, and my face is already stiff. I feel tired even talking now."
Fu Bo was shocked. "What am I going to do if you leave?! Then I'll be all alone to deal with them!"
Quan Sinian cast a sympathetic look at Fu Bo: "Keep it up!"
Fu Bo: ...
Lin Yan pursed her lips, suppressing a laugh.
"Just ask Lin Yan for help!" Quan Sinian saw Lin Yan's amused expression and had an idea.
Fu Bo's eyes lit up as he looked at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan: ...
Quan Sinian continued, "You are the big boss of the distillery, and now, at such a crucial time, you still want to postpone things! You have to take responsibility!"
Lin Yan: "Didn't we agree that I wouldn't have to run the business?"
Seeing the resentful looks in the eyes of the two people in front of her, Lin Yan said, "Okay, okay! I'll go!"
"Where are you going?" Fan Yizhou's voice came from behind.
He, Zhao Yuncheng, and Zhao Yunqing stood behind a table for several people.
"They want me to go and discuss business!" Lin Yan sighed.
"Hahaha! You're the boss, how come you look so unhappy when I ask you to go?" Fan Yizhou laughed as he sat down next to him and ordered the waiter to bring some more dishes.
Zhao Yuncheng and Zhao Yunqing also found a place to sit down. It was unclear where the three of them had gone, but they seemed a bit hungry. As soon as they sat down, Zhao Yunqing started picking up food.
"The wine tasting event has indeed brought some fame to Wangyou Winery, and quite a few restaurants have come to place orders with us. However, we still need to carefully consider this matter. After all, our winery is located in Yun'an, which is too far away, making delivery inconvenient," Quan Sinian said.
"Fu Bo and I have been talking about these things all morning, screening buyers, but we plan to go back to the old house tomorrow, so we've asked Lin Yan to keep an eye on things."
Lin Yan said, "Who would want to work if they could just sit around and get paid?"
"So you do have something to do tomorrow..."
"What?" Lin Yan looked at Fan Yizhou.
"Prefect Xia is hosting a banquet at his residence, inviting some wineries and merchants, including you. We were at the Xia residence this morning, so we came to deliver this message to you."
"A banquet? Holding a banquet at this time, is it to select imperial merchants?" Quan Sinian frowned.
Fan Yizhou smiled, glanced at Zhao Yunqing, and was about to say something.
“Forget about becoming a royal merchant!” Zhao Yunqing suddenly interjected.
"Huh?" Everyone looked over in confusion.
"The imperial merchant had already chosen the Quanjia Distillery."
“Quanjia Winery…” Fu Bo looked at Quan Sinian and saw that he was still frowning.
"Fifth Brother naturally mediated this. Actually, the profits from being a royal merchant aren't that great for you. If you don't have connections in the palace, the money in the transactions will definitely be deducted from each round, leaving you with very little profit. Only those with large fortunes would take on this kind of business." Zhao Yunqing thought the group was just being regretful, so he offered some words of comfort.
Lin Yan shook her head: "We never intended to become imperial merchants. This is a small business, and we can't afford to take risks."
Quan Sinian nodded. "I know, but I'm not willing for the whole family restaurant to take over the royal business. If it were my father, he definitely wouldn't want to get involved in royal affairs."
"Brother, don't think so much. We have nothing to do with that FamilyMart anymore," Quan Wenxue gently comforted him.
Zhao Yunqing glanced at the two of them and said, "The Family Restaurant is not the same as before. Those who know the inside story regard it as a place for social interactions. If you want to win over the Fifth Prince, you will naturally go to the Family Restaurant. If you just want to do business peacefully, you will naturally stay away from them."
"If Father knew that the Family Restaurant had become like this, I don't know how heartbroken he would be. Sigh." Quan Sinian sighed.
Quan Wenxue was also somewhat disappointed.
“Aren’t you starting over now? We’ll definitely surpass FamilyMart,” Lin Yan said.
"Speaking of business, I have a business deal I'd like to discuss with you!" Fan Yizhou said with a smile.
He looked at Lin Yan and said, “I am very interested in the technology of your distillery. Originally, I shouldn’t have been exploring the secrets of the distillery, but… that method that can increase the concentration of alcohol has great potential.”
"Understood. So how would you like to cooperate?" Lin Yan became more serious, immediately getting into character and adopting the demeanor of a boss.
“We also have quite a few wine recipes. If we use those methods to brew new types of wine, the results should be quite good.”
Fan Yizhou smiled gently, "Although we've only known each other for a few days, I think I've gotten along quite well with Miss Lin these past few days."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuncheng, who had been quietly observing, suddenly looked up and narrowed his eyes at Fan Yizhou.
However, Fan Yizhou was looking at Lin Yan and didn't notice.
Lin Yan nodded, "Of course."
"The cooperation plan I'm offering is naturally the best one I've weighed. We'll provide the wine, and you'll be responsible for the purification. Sales will also be handled by Luo'an Restaurant. We'll split the profits 50/50."
Lin Yan lowered her eyes and smiled, "It's really sincere, and we didn't incur any costs. It's a bit unfair to you all!"
"Technology is more valuable than money," Fan Yizhou said.
"You don't need to be polite with him! You are under my protection, so just name your conditions." Zhao Yunqing seemed to have eaten his fill, and with a wave of his hand, he began to support the Forget-Worry Wine Shop.
Fan Yizhou's forehead twitched. He was speechless at this guy. It sounded like he was the one bullying him. He was the one who gave a discount!
Looking at Zhao Yuncheng next to him, he noticed that Zhao Yuncheng's face was also a bit dark. He was truly exasperated, being supervised by two ruthless figures.
Fortunately, Miss Lin was reasonable.
Lin Yan said, "Actually, I can directly teach you the method, because if Wangyou Winery wants to take on this business, it will inevitably need to expand. If we directly invest our technology, it will be much simpler."
Fan Yizhou's eyes lit up. He directly handed over the method to him, which was more feasible and convenient, and would not incur any research and development losses.
"Will it work if we just give him the method directly?" Zhao Yunqing questioned.
Fan Yizhou: ...?
"Of course I trust Young Master Fan. As for his character, His Highness is certainly trustworthy to associate with him. As for his abilities, Luo'an Restaurant has been renowned in Huainan for many years, and the young master is highly respected. Naturally, he can manage things in an orderly manner."
Lin Yan laughed and said, "Why would I want to do the work myself if I can just lie down and collect money?"
