Chapter 344: Talking Business with Lin He
There were the most students in front of Master Cui, a total of forty-nine.
So it was no surprise that Shen Wanning announced that Master Xie would temporarily manage the school.
The students were divided into classes and then led into the classroom by their respective teachers, who first explained to them the books they would need and other matters.
Things here were over, and the parents who had sent their children to school had dispersed. Most of them had come to Daqing Town to buy things and dropped their children off at school.
The village head patted his chest and said, "Hey, it's finally over. Wan Ning, you don't know, I was so nervous facing so many people."
"Uncle Village Head, you need to calm down. You are the mayor, an eighth-rank official!" Shen Wanning said.
"Yes, yes, I am the mayor now, and I must show the mayor's aura." After saying that, the village head strode away.
Finally, the village head hired Shi Zhenxiang to cook for the Daqing School, so that the students didn't have to go home for lunch.
Of course, those who live in Daqing Town will still go home for dinner. After all, the school is very close to home and the journey back and forth will not take long.
After the school opened, Daqing Town became more lively.
In late May, when Lin Jingcheng returned from the county town, he brought back news that Boss Qian, who was cooperating with Mingyuelou, had brought people to the county town and wanted to join the milk tea shop franchise.
Upon hearing the news, Shen Wanning felt as if she were in a dream. She had never expected that a year had passed so quickly in her daze.
I always feel like Boss Qian and his team joined the team just yesterday.
The next day, Shen Wanning set off for the county town with Lin Jingcheng.
Before leaving, Lin He pulled her sleeve and said, "Aunt, are you going to the county town to discuss business? Can I go with you? It just so happens that we have a day off today and don't have to go to school."
Shen Wanning was stunned for a moment, then agreed, "Okay, then you and I will go to the county town together."
On the way, Lin He hesitated for a long time, pointing his finger at each other for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking, "Aunt, I have been studying for almost two years. I know a lot of words, and I have learned all the arithmetic that you taught me. Can I start a business with you?"
"Okay, if you have decided to become a businessman and specialize in business in the future, I can talk to your parents and let you follow me to do business, and you don't have to go to school anymore." Shen Wanning said this with his own considerations.
Once the hybrid rice is reported, she will definitely be awarded a title again. If Lin Jingyou happens to be transferred back to the capital, she will most likely not return to Daqing Village.
But she had to hand over the business of Daqing Village to the Lin family. Lin He happened to be interested in doing business, so he was undoubtedly the best candidate.
Lin He looked up suddenly, as if he couldn't believe his ears, and asked, "Really? Can I really stop going to school?"
"Xiaohe, you are fourteen years old now, not young anymore. You should think carefully before making any decision. If you insist on learning how to do business, I will take you with me in the future. As for the future path, you have to walk it on your own." Shen Wanning said solemnly.
Lin He nodded immediately and said, "I've thought about it. I'm not as good at studying as Xiao Hu, and I don't like studying. But I am happy when I check the account books for the milk tea shop. And I was also happy when I helped to entertain customers before. I hope to expand my business to all parts of the country and taste the food from different places."
"Okay, since you have made up your mind, let's discuss it with your grandparents and parents when we get back. I can only try my best to convince them. If they don't agree, then there's nothing I can do." Shen Wanning shrugged.
She understood Xu's thoughts and always thought that businessmen were inferior, so she didn't really want Lin He to go down this path in the future.
In addition, for rural people, becoming an official is the best way out. Since Lin Jiang has entered the officialdom, she hopes that Lin He can also do so.
Everyone has their own aspirations. If Lin He really wants to do business, she can only do her best to help him achieve it. But after all, she is not Lin He's parent and cannot make decisions for him.
Lin He jumped up in joy and hit his head against the upper wall of the carriage. "Ouch, it hurts so much!" He covered his head and rubbed it a few times.
Shen Wanning pulled him to sit down and said, "I just said you were fourteen, why are you still so clumsy?"
After arriving at the county town, Shen Wanning took Lin He to meet Boss Qian.
This time, the person Boss Qian brought with him was named Lu. As soon as he saw Shen Wanning, he began to compliment her. "I only heard from Old Qian that Boss Shen was very graceful. Now that I've met her, I know that Boss Shen is even more graceful than Old Qian described!"
"Boss Lu, nice to meet you." Shen Wanning accepted his compliment calmly.
After the pleasantries, we started talking about business.
Sitting across the table were Boss Qian and Boss Lu, while sitting on her side were she and Lin He.
"I believe Boss Qian has already told Boss Lu about the rules for joining Mingyue Tower. I wonder what Boss Lu thinks?" Shen Wanning didn't want to talk more and asked directly.
"Haha, Lao Qian did tell me about this, but Lao Qian and his group were the first group to join. They sold lemonade last year. So for us who joined this year, can we also sell a new product exclusively?" Boss Lu asked.
Shen Wanning shook her head. "Boss Qian was one of the first to join, so naturally he got some preferential treatment. But this is our second year, so he doesn't have that preferential treatment anymore. However, the fruit tea that was exclusively sold in their five milk tea shops last year can now be sold in all of them this year."
"But several previous milk tea shops have already seized the opportunity and attracted a lot of customers. If we join now, there may not be so many customers. Can we talk about the price again?" Boss Lu asked tentatively.
Shen Wanning didn't say anything, but turned her head to look at Lin He, "Xiao He, what do you think?"
Lin He shook his head. "Of course we can't lower the price. What we agreed on is what we're going to pay. If Boss Lu asks us to lower the price this year because most of our customers have left, then will the franchisees every year be able to use the same excuse to ask us to lower the price? If the price keeps dropping year after year, won't we end up paying out of pocket in the future?"
Shen Wanning felt happy and looked at Boss Lu, "Boss Lu, if even a child understands this, then Boss Lu shouldn't not understand it, right?"
Boss Lu looked embarrassed and continued, "Are there any other discounts? For example, the price of our raw materials and so on. Can we still discuss these?"
"Boss Lu, the rules of franchising are here. I thought that since Boss Lu asked me to discuss this matter today, he must agree with it. Since Boss Lu does not agree with our franchising rules, I think there is no need for us to waste each other's time anymore." With that, Shen Wanning stood up and was about to leave.
