Chapter 264: Agreement (Extra - for every 1000 monthly tickets)
However, Wang Yongzhu remained steadfast and added that she was also developing other dye colors and was on the verge of a breakthrough. In the future, she would continuously strive to invent new colors and dyeing methods. Shopkeeper Wu would certainly not suffer losses by collaborating with her!
Shopkeeper Wu hesitated for a moment, but being a decisive person, he thought about nothing else but the dyeing valves. Just with those, he could make a huge profit. And with the indigo cloth, although it was suitable for commoners and couldn’t be sold at high prices, the large sales volume could dominate the market—large quantities meant cumulative profits, which were also quite substantial!
After weighing his options, Shopkeeper Wu debated with Wang Yongzhu about profit distribution for quite a long time.
In the end, they reached an agreement on a 20/80 split.
Anxious that Wang Yongzhu might change her mind, Shopkeeper Wu hurriedly drafted a contract. He even invited a respected elder from the town to witness and sign the agreement, providing both parties with peace of mind.
Once the contract was drawn up, Shopkeeper Wu sent the witness away and returned to push two silver notes across to Wang Yongzhu: "This is an advance payment of your share of the profits. It will be deducted from your share after the first batch of goods is sold!"
Wang Yongzhu looked down to see one silver note was for one hundred taels and the other for fifty taels.
She knew this was Shopkeeper Wu’s way of being considerate of the Wang Family’s current financial situation and a little tactic to win her over.
Thus, she smiled and accepted: "Thank you for your kindness, Shopkeeper Wu! I will accept it with thick skin. Honestly, there are many expenses at home right now, and this advance payment of profits has solved an urgent need for my family!"
Seeing that Wang Yongzhu was sensible and not pretentious, Shopkeeper Wu was naturally satisfied.
"These two samples will be kept here at your place, Shopkeeper Wu. As for the indigo dye, I will go back and expedite its preparation and then deliver it to you. As for the dye workshop, I will need you to take a lot of care. Once the workshop is built, I will immediately bring over the dye and the recipes for dyeing valves!" Wang Yongzhu stated her intentions.
