Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Chapter 506: Ways to Make Money, Gain Profit Without Capital

They have been open in the capital for so many years, and they keep researching new ideas every year, just because they are afraid that everyone will get tired of them, so they only keep a few of the most popular ones, and the rest are all new ideas.

I am so cautious, but I am still afraid that everyone will get tired of it.

There are also many shops that want to imitate them, but the taste is not good and there is no way to compare with them.

The shop of the Crown Prince's wife is the only one that has made him feel a sense of crisis over the years.

He also knew that there was some opportunistic element in selling dim sum.

What if the Crown Prince’s wife also made the snacks more exquisite?

What if the Crown Prince’s wife also asked someone to make more kinds of snacks?

Anyone who can make this kind of dessert must have good skills.

"Mr. Nan, let's go sit in the back." Xiao Yan'an led Nan Xuan to the backyard.

As soon as Nan Xuan sat down, he didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Some time ago, I was making a new dessert. The prince and his wife sent someone to tell me that they wanted to cooperate with me. I didn't reply in time, which was really rude."

"Mr. Nan is so busy, I understand. Since Mr. Nan is here in person today, how about we discuss the cooperation in detail?"

"It's my honor." Nanxuan responded immediately.

"What I mean is, I want you to put your Nan Jin Ji sign in my shop, right where you just saw it, and have your chef come here to make it personally. We don't want any of your recipes or methods, and we only sell your Nan Jin Ji dim sum. However, the price needs to be adjusted appropriately, and we also need to have a certain profit. As for how to sell it, that's up to us to decide. If anyone orders dim sum from us for a banquet, we can just take some of the profit. What do you think?"

Nanxuan was a businessman and immediately understood what Xiao Yanan meant.

As long as it is not aimed at his recipe and production method, he is not opposed to such cooperation at all.

"However, you also need to produce some snacks that ordinary people can afford. Believe me, the profits will be greater than those of the rich and powerful."

"Actually, that's what I was thinking, but sometimes I just don't know how to change for a while."

"Now, you don't need to change. Just be responsible for developing the snacks. Leave the rest to us."

"It is a great honor to be able to work with the Crown Prince and his wife!"

"Mr. Nan, do you agree to it?" Xiao Yan'an thought that he would have to talk some more, but he didn't expect to take him down so quickly.

"Yes!" Nanxuan responded affirmatively.

"Then let's work out the details and draft a document that specifies the agreement that we must abide by. We will also ask Lord Jin from the government office to be a witness. In the future, if anyone violates the agreement, we will give the other party corresponding compensation according to what is written in the document. What do you think, Mr. Nan?"

"Your Highness is really thoughtful. This is great."

Xiao Yan'an immediately took Nanxuan to work out the details.

Ji Chuhe waited in the shop for less than an hour before Xiao Yan'an came back with the signed document.

"Madam, it's done!" Xiao Yan'an placed the document in front of Ji Chuhe as if to take credit.

Ji Chuhe picked it up, read it carefully, and then nodded.

"Madam, Nan Xuan ignored our proposal for cooperation before, why did he come to us on his own initiative this time and agree to cooperate with us so easily?"

"It didn't affect his interests before, but now he has found that his business has deteriorated so much. If he doesn't cooperate with us, it's not just a small matter of not making money, but it's possible that his shop can't even continue to operate in the imperial capital. He definitely doesn't want a shop like theirs that has been passed down for three generations to be ruined in his hands, otherwise how can he face his ancestors in the future?"

"Madam is really amazing. She came up with this idea and made Nanxuan take the initiative to cooperate with us."

"This is not a glorious method, but it is also necessary to do business this way. We cannot invest too much in the imperial capital, and if we want to make more money, we have to rely on the power of others."

Xiao Yanan nodded in agreement, "This way, we don't have to invest any costs and can directly reap the benefits."

"Next, let everyone see the changes in Nan Jin Ji and the benefits of cooperating with us. Then the rest of the people will not be so averse to cooperating with us, and we won't have to waste too much time talking to them. Who knows, they might even come to us on their own initiative."

"Yeah!" Xiao Yan'an nodded heavily.

The next day, the dim sum selling area in the shop was replaced with a Nan Jin Ji sign.

Some people who came to buy dim sum were afraid to speak when they saw the sign.

Those who bought dim sum on site were ordinary people, and they knew how expensive Nan Jin Ji’s dim sum was.

"Don't worry, everyone. Now, Nan Jin Ji is cooperating with our shop and the prices are very favorable. They are almost the same as the previous dim sum prices!" the waiter shouted loudly.

"Everyone doesn't know that Nan Jin Ji's dim sum used to come in a whole box, with at least ten kinds, and one box cost more than ten taels of silver. Now, they are sold separately in our shop, but they are wrapped in oil paper. If you don't mind, you can buy some and try them."

"What's there to be disgusted about? We're going to eat it ourselves anyway!"

"That's right! It's really such a cheap price. I must buy a few for my kids to try today."

"Yeah, I want some too! Pack these for me."

"Okay, everyone please line up first." The shop assistant started wrapping the snacks skillfully.

Nanxuan stood in the distance, watching this scene.

He really didn't expect that in less than an hour, the Prince's wife's shop had sold out all the snacks that their shop had sold in the day.

Just like what the Crown Prince's wife said, more volume and lower prices can also bring more profits, and he now believes it.

It seems that I need to ask people to make more tomorrow so that I can sell enough.

At the end of the first day, Ji Chuhe specially settled the accounts with Nanxuan.

Those sold in the shop, plus some ordered from homes.

At the end of the day, apart from the 30% profit taken by Ji Chuhe, Nan Xuan earned slightly more money than he would have earned in a day on his own.

It's just that the quantity has increased a bit.

It is also cost-effective to hire a few more workers.

"This is only the first day. In the next few days, there will definitely be a peak period, and then it will slowly stabilize. I estimate that even when it stabilizes, the business will definitely not be worse than today." Everything Ji Chuhe said was well-founded.

Nanxuan thought that since he had been running a shop since he was a child, he was well versed in business.

Unexpectedly, after seeing the methods of Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an, he felt like a child who had just been enlightened.

What he knows is so one-sided!
