Chapter 116 Negotiating Cooperation
Zhao Qiqi let out a breath, and the whole hall began to become lively again. Just now everyone was waiting for the result and had become quiet. Now that the result is out, the whole hall is filled with noisy entertainment sounds again.
"Hurry up, hurry up, admit defeat and take out the money."
"Hey, here you go."
The loser threw the money on the table with some bad luck. With no money left and no interest in playing anymore, he turned around and left.
The madam was also a little surprised. It seemed that the woman had the confidence to come here, but she didn't know the price?
"Madam, what should I address you as?" The madam was also quite polite to her.
"My last name is Zhao."
"Mrs. Zhao, let's go to the backyard to discuss it. It's a bit noisy here."
Zhao Qiqi thought about it and felt that since her two sons were waiting outside, there shouldn't be any problem. However, thinking of the plots in TV dramas, she still remained vigilant.
"I wonder what price Mrs. Zhao plans to sell it for?"
"One piece of soap is twenty-five cents. This is the sincere price I offer. I know Xunhuafang is a big business, and the demand for soap nuts is extremely large every year. This soap can be used for a long time, while soap nuts are only disposable."
"Twenty cents."
The madam smiled and said nothing more, looking at her calmly.
She was shrewd and calculated, and she determined that Zhao Qiqi not only wanted to take over the share of their Xunhuafang, but also wanted to use the influence of Xunhuafang to spread to more places.
If the soap is really as durable as Mrs. Zhao said, it would naturally save money, but that would not prevent the madam from lowering the price. She knew that Zhao Qiqi would sell it even at cost price.
Zhao Qiqi smiled but was unwilling to give in. If the price was reduced to twenty cents, it would be difficult to raise it in the future. And if the product really became popular in the brothel, those dealers would naturally know the price at which they could sell it to Xunhuafang.
"I would like to agree to this price, but there are workers following behind who need to eat, and I can't let them go hungry, right? If mom is willing to listen to my ideas, I will talk to her again."
The madam said nothing and motioned for her to continue.
"A bar of soap is ten pieces in total. How about I give one piece of soap for each bar of soap?"
By this calculation, a bar of soap costs less than twenty-three cents, which is a relatively reasonable way of thinking.
"After that, if the girls use my scented soap, the scent will last for a whole day."
The fragrance on a woman's body is also a weapon to keep a man, which is what the flower shop needs.
This is like buying one thing for one price and achieving two benefits.
The madam finally gave in. She could see that this thing was really good, and she was also very interested in the cakes Zhao Qiqi had drawn, including but not limited to: perfume, scrub, toothbrush, lipstick...
Zhao Qiqi was walking out with the signed form, but was accidentally stopped by someone.
"Hey, my beauty, you are alone and lonely, why don't you come with me, hehe."
A drunken man blocked her way, and the servant who had just escorted her out was called aside to serve the guests.
The big man burped, and the smell coming out was even worse than three-day-fermented swill. At the same time, he tried to put his arm around her shoulder in what he thought was a cool move, looking so greasy.
"Hey, don't be shy, beautiful."
"Get lost, I'm not from here."
The big man looked at Zhao Qiqi who had dodged her with dissatisfaction: "Why are you shy about selling yourself? I like you, so be sensible. Don't you know how to make money? I have plenty of money."
After saying that, she shook the purse hanging on her belt. There was indeed a lot of money in it, and it was bulging.
There was a hustle and bustle around, everyone was busy with their own things, no one paid any attention to her. They were all a bunch of drunkards, and no one would pay any attention to her.
Zhao Qiqi was only an arm's length away from the big man. If he used brute force, Zhao Qiqi would not be able to struggle free. Shouting was impossible as it was very noisy here and all that could be heard were some flirtatious words.
Maybe if she screamed and yelled, others would think she was flirting with him in a reserved and restrained way.
Zhao Qiqi looked at him: "Are you sure?"
The drunken man understood what people were saying and replied, "What?"
He couldn't understand what the person in front of him meant.
Zhao Qiqi snatched his purse and looked at him with a sneer as he turned pale with fear and anger. Wow, his defense was broken.
"Didn't you say you had plenty of money? Then give it all to me."
The man had sharp ears and eyes, and he heard what Zhao Qiqi said at once. He reacted very quickly and shouted, "Give it back to me now."
As expected, men are usually a little drunk and can make you cry, but it is impossible for them to be really drunk and ignorant of the world in such a place.
They are all pretending, pretending to be drunk, and using the pretext of being drunk to do whatever they want to others. If they succeed, they will say innocently: Oh, I'm sorry, I don't know what's going on, I was drunk.
The man was about to come over to snatch it angrily, but his drunken state was gone, and his eyes were clear and shrewd.
"If you don't give it back to me, I'll call for help."
Zhao Qiqi was so angry that she almost laughed. This guy was really shameless.
"casual."
The man was obviously familiar with the place and was not a pushover. He grabbed a servant and asked, "Is this from your store? How can you be so unruly? And you're even snatching customers' wallets?"
Zhao Qiqi had already said that she was not from here, and now that person was just pretending that he didn't know.
The servant was the one who had just brought Zhao Qiqi out. He obviously realized what had happened and looked a little annoyed. He blamed himself. If he had taken people out directly, this would not have happened.
Now one is a guest, and the other is someone that even the madam has to entertain, so he can't afford to offend either of them.
"Sir, you misunderstood. This is not our girl."
The big man sneered: "If it's not you, then there is no reason to take my money. I will report it to the police. This is robbery in public!"
The big man had a very loud voice and the incident became a big commotion, so the madam who was handling matters in the back was also pulled out.
She glared at Zhao Qiqi with some dissatisfaction. The world is big, and customers are the most important. No matter what happened, Zhao Qiqi caused this incident, so even if she was right, she must be three points wrong.
"Look, the purse is still with her."
Zhao Qiqi smiled and said, "Didn't you say you wanted me to sleep with you? You have plenty of money, right? Why don't you want to do that with just this little money on you? Why are you pretending to be rich when you don't have any money? If I had no money, I wouldn't say that."
