Chapter 196 Simple Thoughts
While Su Yu Niang was throwing out her extremely tempting conditions, she was staring at Ye Chang Yan intently. She wanted to capture every change in Ye Chang Yan's expression.
But Su Yu Niang seemed a little disappointed. Faced with such a huge sum of money she had spent, Ye Chang Yan did not seem as excited as she had expected. Instead, he smiled and spoke to her without any hesitation.
"Boss Su is indeed the big boss from Shengjing. He is really rich and generous."
Su Yu Niang heard Ye Changyan's teasing tone and realized that the other party was not tempted by the price she offered.
"I prefer a steady stream of income to overwhelming wealth."
Judging from Ye Changyan's words, he didn't seem to have any intention of selling the prescription.
"Mr. Ye, you might as well think about it. This 10,000 taels of silver can buy nearly a thousand acres of good farmland in your Yuzhou Prefecture. With such a scale, you can be considered a large landlord. Even if you go to Shengjing in the future and sell these good farmlands, the money will be enough for you to buy a big enough house in Shengjing."
It has to be said that Su Yu Niang's statement is very tempting. Owning a thousand acres of fertile land is a dream that many people strive for all their lives but cannot realize.
Ye Changyan smiled faintly and pointed to the white porcelain bottle on the table.
"Boss Su, I believe you can become the head manager of Fu Yu Zhen. You must be better than me in calculating. I just need to increase the supply of pure dew and perfume to Hua Man Ting Yan Zhi Lou. I think it won't be too difficult or too long to realize the goal of owning a thousand acres of fertile land."
"From what Master Ye said, the supply of hydrosol and perfume is still a problem?"
"Boss Su, you are a great expert in the cosmetics business. This hydrosol and perfume come from the essence of flowers and plants. Since they are essences, they must be very rare. And the flowers used as raw materials are not specially grown by anyone. They all rely on villagers to pick them in the countryside and mountains. The quantity of these raw materials is limited."
Ye Changyan saw that Su Yu Niang seemed to be smiling. Perhaps she was laughing at him in her heart for not knowing how powerful the power behind Fu Yu Zhen was. With the influence of the power behind Fu Yu Zhen, the problem of flowers could be solved with just a little movement.
"If Boss Su intends to mass produce after getting the recipe, it will probably require a huge investment. Once you start mass production, the supply problem will be solved, but as the saying goes, things are valuable because they are scarce. I don't think such a result would be something Boss Su would like to see, right?"
Ye Changyan's words shocked Su Yu Niang. She could actually see through her thoughts at a glance. After Su Yu Niang calmed down a little, she chuckled again.
"Mr. Ye, what you said is true, but if your supply is too limited, then to me, it is just a mirage and cannot solve the actual problem."
Seeing Huang Jie sitting on the chair somewhat bored, Ye Changyan took out two Wei Hao Jia cigarettes from somewhere and placed them on the desk in front of Huang Jie. Huang Jie reached out to take them with a look of surprise, and then heard Su Yu Niang continue to speak.
"To be honest, the winter plum water and perfume that Mr. Huang brought to Shengjing has caused quite a stir in a small circle. There are many nobles in Shengjing City, and many of those who come to me for winter plum water and perfume are people I cannot afford to offend. Therefore, if the supply is too limited, it will be a very difficult problem for me."
Su Yu Niang wanted to retreat in order to advance, and planned to grasp Ye Changyan's specific production capacity, which would be more conducive to her taking the initiative.
But Ye Changyan didn't seem to care about Su Yu Niang's life or death.
"When I was working with Mr. Huang, I agreed to exclusively supply him with 100 bottles of hydrosol and perfume each month."
Su Yu Niang didn't quite believe what Ye Changyan said.
"You are the exclusive supplier to Hua Man Ting, and you only supply 100 bottles each per month. Yuzhou and Yizhou are the two richest cities in the west. The ladies in Yuzhou have a lot of money in their pockets, and there are many wealthy families in Yuzhou. Hydrosols and perfumes are consumables. The amount you give to Boss Huang is not enough to fill their teeth, right?"
"So, in Yuzhou Prefecture, those who have seen the wintersweet pure water and perfume are all Boss Huang's distinguished guests. Otherwise, how can it be said that things are rare and valuable?"
The difficulty of Ye Changyan was a little beyond Su Yu Niang's expectations. As for the supply quantity alone, Ye Changyan had no intention of giving in, and he was not interested in the price she had originally offered, which made Su Yu Niang a little passive.
"Since Master Ye is not interested in my proposal, what do you think?"
When Ye Changyan heard Su Yu Niang ask this, it seemed that the other party was lacking in confidence, or it was a test of the other party to retreat in order to advance.
Ye Changyan’s idea was actually very simple, so he didn’t plan to get entangled with Su Yu Niang any more.
"Boss Su, my idea is actually very simple. The people that Boss Su contacts are all nobles in Shengjing City. I am just a small scholar, just an ant in front of them. Therefore, I don't want to trade directly with Boss Su."
Ye Changyan's words surprised Su Yu Niang. Logically speaking, a scholar like Ye Changyan, who possessed such resources, should have tried every means to curry favor and find a backer to add more chips to his future. However, Ye Changyan did the opposite, which made Su Yu Niang very puzzled.
"I have agreed with Brother Huang that I will be the exclusive supplier of Hua Man Ting. Since Boss Su has come all the way here, I will do my utmost to be sincere and increase the supply of 100 bottles of hydrosol and perfume each month to 100 bottles each. As for how much share Boss Su can get from Brother Huang, it will be up to Boss Su and Brother Huang to discuss in detail."
Su Yu Niang didn't believe that Ye Changyan's idea was really that simple. The fact that Ye Changyan could increase the supply of 100 bottles to Hua Manting on top of the original supply of 100 bottles each showed that he had reserved considerable space before.
But judging from the current situation, it would not be easy to get Ye Changyan to increase the supply in a short period of time. Even if Huang Huamin could give all his shares to himself, it would be a drop in the bucket for Shengjing's current situation.
Just when Su Yu Niang was lost in her own thoughts and briefly absent-minded, Ye Chang Yan had already stood up from the stool, pulled out Huang Jie's chair, took Huang Jie's hand, and prepared to walk out.
Su Yu Niang came back to her senses and saw Ye Changyan's actions. Only then did she believe that Ye Changyan's idea was so simple.
Huang Huamin's original supply was very limited. Although Ye Changyan agreed to increase the supply on the original basis, Ye Changyan did not say that the increased supply was for himself.
The current situation is that Ye Changyan has blocked the supply.
Su Yu Niang has been dealing with Huang Huamin for many years. Based on her understanding of Huang Huamin, if she wants to take as much food as possible from Huang Huamin's mouth, she will definitely have to pay a huge price.
