Chapter 171 Good Days
"It's okay if you don't pay compensation!" Cheng Wenwen looked at Sun Sanniang.
When Sun Sanniang heard this, she immediately became energetic and asked, "Master! Thank you, Master! You are really a good person!"
"But I have conditions!" said Cheng Wenwen.
Sun Sanniang's face immediately fell, and she looked at Cheng Wenwen with some concern, and asked, "What are the conditions for the boss? If I can do it, then I will try my best, but my ability is limited, and I have to support my family..."
What this means is that Sun Sanniang still doesn't want to pay the money.
Cheng Wenwen said: "I am here today not only to discuss compensation with you, but also to discuss business with you. Please listen to me first and then think about it."
"Business?" Sun Sanniang was puzzled.
Cheng Wenwen continued, "You opened this shop using our craftsmanship, which violated our original contract, so it is understandable that we ask you to compensate. However, I can also offer you a choice. You can hang up our Cheng's sign and join us. We will provide you with new product formulas for the season, and you can give us a share of the profits every month. How about that?"
"This..." Sun Sanniang looked at her husband, a little hesitant.
Sun Sanniang's husband put down his work, came over and asked, "Mr. Cheng, how much is the share?"
"Forty percent!" said Cheng Wenwen.
Sun Sanniang thought about it, 40%, if I earn 10 taels of silver every month, then I have to pay out 4 taels of silver every month, after two years, it would be almost 100 taels, right? Isn't this too much? It's better to pay 100 taels!
Sun Sanniang was somewhat reluctant, but she didn't have that much money to pay at the moment!
Cheng Wenwen saw Sun Sanniang's concerns and said, "This is a new franchise model launched by our store. One is to pay a franchise fee of 100 taels directly, and all future profits are yours. The other is this kind of profit sharing, which is a permanent profit sharing. You can choose it yourself!"
"Let us think about it!"
Sun Sanniang pulled her husband aside to discuss the matter.
Sun Sanniang's husband said, "One hundred taels is too much. We can't afford it! But 40% is too much. We will lose that much every month!"
Sun Sanniang thought about it and said:
"But we can't come up with a hundred taels right away! Sanniang, why don't we split the profits? Even though we have to split 40%, our business makes much more money than other businesses. Which business can make six taels of silver a month? Besides, they will teach us other skills! Then the business will only get better and better!"
After hearing this, Sun Sanniang's husband also thought about it and felt that this made sense, so he nodded and said, "Okay! Then accept it!"
After Sun Sanniang and her husband had discussed it, she said to Cheng Wenwen, "Boss, Sister Gao, we have thought about it and we agree to split the profits."
"That's fine. I'll have someone deliver the contract tomorrow!"
"Okay! Boss, take care, Sister Gao!"
Sun Sanniang watched Cheng Wenwen and Sister Gao leave and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Sister Gao was also thinking about it, and couldn't help but admire Cheng Wenwen, saying: "Sister Cheng, you have a really active brain. How did you come up with such an idea? In this way, can't we make money without doing anything?"
"It's not that simple! We can't just ignore them and let them destroy our own reputation, right?"
Since they have put up the Cheng brand, they must ensure quality and positioning.
Cheng Wenwen thought about it and realized that her current pricing was indeed too high, and ordinary people could not afford desserts, so Sun Sanniang's shop was just right for ordinary people. The quality could be slightly lowered, and the price could be lowered so that ordinary people could afford it.
In addition to these, they also have to regularly check whether the branches are qualified and regularly ask the branch cooks to go to the main store for further training to avoid any bad influence that would damage their reputation.
However, once they get started, their store will grow bigger and bigger.
When Cheng Wenwen returned home, she started looking for someone to draft a profit-sharing cooperation contract. In addition to the agreement she had made with Sun Sanniang today, she also added a few extra clauses.
The next day, Cheng Wenwen took the contract to Sun Sanniang's shop.
Sun Sanniang could only recognize a few characters and didn't know much about business, so she asked her husband to take care of the business.
After her husband finished reading it, he asked Cheng Wenwen: "Can our store only employ women from now on?"
Cheng Wenwen nodded: "Yes, this is the rule of our Cheng family."
It's not easy for women in this world, so naturally they need more care.
Sun Sanniang thought it was nothing, so she said, "Women are women! I am also a woman, and women are more meticulous in their work!"
Sun Sanniang's husband nodded and had no objection, so he took the pen and wanted to sign.
Cheng Wenwen said, "Sun Sanniang, you come and sign!"
"Ah? I sign?" Sun Sanniang still didn't quite understand. She felt her handwriting was ugly, so she said, "Let my husband sign! He is the head of the family!"
"No! You sign! You own this shop! Don't you?"
Cheng Wenwen didn't distrust Sun Sanniang's husband, she just wanted to give women more control over the rights, at least not always rely on men. Sun Sanniang had her own skills, so she could naturally support the store.
"Sun Sanniang, you are the store manager, and your husband can be the deputy manager. You two can manage this store together!" said Cheng Wenwen.
Sun Sanniang looked at her husband, saw him nod, and then she picked up the pen and signed her name.
The contract was concluded.
Cheng Wenwen handed them a contract and said, "Your store doesn't quite meet the regulations, and it's also written in the contract. I'll ask Sister Gao to guide you, and then I'll give you the recipe for our new product. I wish both of us a win-win situation!"
Sun Sanniang nodded: "We know this! Thank you, Master! Goodbye, Master!"
Cheng Wenwen nodded and left.
Sun Sanniang finally let out a sigh of relief and said happily, "I never thought that I could become the boss!"
Her husband forced a smile and said, "Your boss Cheng is really weird. You only let women do the work!"
"The boss is pitying women. Most of the employees in our store before were lonely and helpless women, and the boss never looked down on them. For example, didn't I go to work because we couldn't make ends meet? At that time, I didn't know anything, but the boss hired me without looking down on me. When I made mistakes at work, the boss didn't blame me or tell me to be careful next time. It's actually great to have such a boss. I was really not very kind this time!"
When Sun Sanniang recalled what happened at Cheng's house before, she inexplicably felt apologetic.
Sun Sanniang's husband sighed and said, "I'm also worried that we'll suffer a loss. Okay, okay, let's not talk about it anymore. Now that the matter has been settled, we'll just live on this business from now on."
Sun Sanniang nodded: "Okay! Let's work hard in the future, and we will definitely have a good life."
Now that the matter has been settled, Sun Sanniang no longer has to worry about being discovered by Cheng and can open the shop openly.
