Chapter 637: Chapter 637 Admiration Chapter 637: Chapter 637 Admiration Su Yunjin had sent two jars of fruit wine, and after Mrs. Qin tasted them, she became very interested in the two jars of wine. At that time, Mrs. Qin had the same idea as the manager, she instructed the manager to buy Su Yunjin’s secret recipe and even offered a high price of four thousand silver.
This was exactly double the two thousand silver initially offered by the manager. The manager thrice asked Su Yunjin to sell the secret recipe, but Su Yunjin did not agree, knowing that Su Yunjin definitely would not sell them the recipe, the manager informed Mrs. Qin of the situation. Upon hearing this, and learning that Su Yunjin was unwilling to sell the recipe, Mrs. Qin did not force the issue. Instead, she thought of a compromise; It didn’t matter if Su Yunjin was unwilling to sell the secret recipe.
As long as Su Yunjin was willing to sign a contract guaranteeing that she would only supply her fruit wine to their Fuman Building, it would amount to the same thing. In this way, their Fuman Building would be the sole seller of the fruit wine.
This method, compared to purchasing Su Yunjin’s secret recipe outright, was a bit more troublesome, but not by much.
Given Su Yunjin’s reluctance to sell the secret recipe, signing such a contract with her was also a good option. Mrs. Qin expressed her intentions, worried that any delay could lead Su Yunjin to sign a contract with someone else, she instructed the manager to visit Su Yunjin’s home in person.
“Young Madam,” the manager began, “Mrs. Qin has heard about the fruit wine and, after tasting what you sent, she has much admiration for the wine you made.”
Could it be that the manager was here on behalf of Mrs. Qin to buy her secret recipe? She would not sell the recipe for the fruit wine, not to Mrs. Qin, nor to the manager. Su Yunjin would not sell it either way.
Su Yunjin was certainly interested in Mrs. Qin and wanted to meet her, but that did not mean she was willing to sell the brewing method to her.
As the manager spoke, Su Yunjin did not interrupt him, deciding instead to listen to him first and then think of a way to respond. After stating that Mrs. Qin greatly admired her fruit wine, the manager continued, “Originally, our Mrs. Qin had planned to have this old fellow purchase your brewing secret recipe. However, after I told her that your secret could not be sold, Mrs. Qin did not wish to compel you, so she arranged for this old fellow to sign a contract with you.”
“Sign a contract?” Su Yunjin raised an eyebrow, a flicker of confusion crossing her face. She did not understand what contract Mrs. Qin wanted this old fox, the manager, to sign with her.
Before coming today, the manager had already prepared the contract to be signed with Su Yunjin, following Mrs. Qin’s instructions; Fuman Building had signed and stamped the contract. Now, he brought it here, just waiting for Su Yunjin to sign her name and apply her seal, and the contract would be complete.
Taking out the contract, the manager asked Su Yunjin to look at it. “Young Madam, take a look, this is the contract that our Fuman Building wishes to sign with you,” he said as he handed the contract to Su Yunjin.
Su Yunjin took the contract and glanced over its content, then heard the manager say, “Young Madam, Mrs. Qin’s intention is to hope that you will only sell the fruit wine you make to our Fuman Building and not to any other taverns. Naturally, if you agree to this arrangement, our Fuman Building will not let you suffer any losses.”
Looking at the content of the contract, with its clear and specific terms, Su Yunjin understood the purpose of the manager’s visit. She could not help but secretly admire the Mrs. Qin she had yet to meet in her heart.
To operate such a large business.
Indeed, Mrs. Qin was no ordinary person.
