In the afternoon, the Song family did not go to the fields and stayed at home to rest.
When the villagers knew that Song Cainiu Hua'er was back, they came to inquire about the tofu business and expressed their intention to carry tofu to the countryside to sell.
Not everyone has a long-term vision. At first, there were only a few or twenty people who could think of carrying tofu to sell in the countryside, and who had the courage to do so.
Later, the Song family wanted to become a "franchise store", and only a few were willing to take risks.
Nowadays, people who go to the countryside to sell tofu earn a small amount of money, so that they can enjoy the old snacks; people who open franchise stores to sell tofu in other towns have a prosperous business, and they paid off Zhao Xiao’s debt in just a few months.
Master's loan.
These villagers who were once hesitant and did not dare to move forward have long regretted it.
There is still a chance. In recent months, the Song family's "franchise stores" have opened about a dozen new ones, opening them in almost all the counties and towns within the jurisdiction of Huai'an Prefecture, but none of them have gone outside Huai'an Prefecture.
It's just that the place is unfamiliar and the distance is also a problem. The villagers who have not seized the opportunity before have never been able to make up their mind and dare not borrow money to open a "franchise store" outside Huai'an Prefecture.
The Song family was able to help them if they could, and they agreed to carry tofu to the countryside to sell to a few villagers. Zhou Taohua and Yang Cuilian came to the door with news that was neither good nor bad.
.
"You said that there is a foreigner who has taken a fancy to the tofu business and wants to buy the tofu recipe from you at a high price?" Song Xixi picked up Niu Niu who rushed towards her excitedly, and looked at Zhou and Yang with interest.
"Well, they came to the store several times to find us, and the price of this recipe has also increased from two hundred taels to five hundred taels..." Zhou Taohua seemed to be afraid that the Song family would misunderstand, and carefully listed the number of times the other party came to see them and the process.
I said it in detail.
"Qingqing, what do you think?"
Song Xixi turned around and asked Song Qingqing: "He is a foreigner. When he bought the prescription, he went back to his hometown to do the tofu business. It is unlikely to affect us. Do you think we should sell the prescription to him?"
Song Qingqing shook her head: "Can't sell it."
Song Xixi asked: "Why can't it be sold? If he wants to buy it so much, he should be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it. Maybe we won't be able to make it back within ten years of opening ten franchise stores."
Song Qingqing said sternly: "If he buys our prescriptions, he can sell them to others at the same high price as us. By then, there will be tofu businesses all over the city, and he will be able to get the bulk of the money.
"
If this happens, the family will suffer a big loss.
Song Xixi asked again: "Sooner or later, the tofu business will spread throughout towns and cities, but we can't do it in a short time. As time goes by, if others figure out how to make tofu, our tofu recipes will become worthless."
Song Qingqing frowned and thought about how to maximize the benefits.
Song Xixi did not disturb her and asked Zhou Taohua: "Where is this Mr. Zhong from? What does he do?"
Zhou Taohua said hurriedly: "Master Zhong is from the Yunyang Mansion, and he is engaged in the dry goods business from the north to the south. According to him, the business is quite big, but his father is in charge of the business, and he was thrown out for training."
Song Xixi nodded, knowing it well.
After Zhou and Yang left with Niu Niu, Song Qingqing expressed her thoughts: "You can sell the tofu recipe, but you can't just sell it to Master Zhong."
Song Xixi became interested: "How do you say it?"
Song Qingqing clenched her fists, her eyes bright: "Just like a franchise store, find a few more big players like Mr. Zhong, agree on the price of the prescription, sell the prescription to them, and let them guard their respective territories.
When doing business, we should not interfere with each other and protect our respective interests."
Song Xixi's eyes lit up: "Not bad!"
Song Qingqing's eyes widened: "Little sister, do you really think it's feasible?"
Song Xixi nodded: "Of course it's feasible, I think so too."
Song Qingqing received great encouragement and spoke out all her thoughts at once: "Master Zhong is definitely not the only one who is interested in tofu recipes. Later, we will tell other shop owners that as long as anyone wants to buy, let them come.
Let’s talk…”
She explained every aspect in detail, and Song Xixi made up for some imperfections. The whole plan is completely implementable.
At the end, Song Xixi patted Song Qingqing on the shoulder: "I'll leave this matter to you, just as you said."
"What?" Song Qingqing was startled, and her voice was a bit sharp: "Me? No, no, I can't do such a big thing!"
Song Xixi held her hand and said seriously: "You can do it!"
Facing the trusting eyes of her little cousin, Song Qingqing unexpectedly gained courage: "I, am I really good? If, if I fail, our family will suffer great losses."
Song Xixi smiled and said: "If something goes wrong, let it be done badly. Learn from the experience and lessons learned and pretend it doesn't happen."
Song Qingqing chuckled, and the pressure on her shoulders suddenly eased: "Okay, I listen to you. If you really mess it up later, if grandma wants to scold me, I will blame it on you and say you asked me to do it!"
Song Xixi knew she was joking and said generously: "Push it, grandma won't eat me."
Song Qingqing laughed louder and louder, determined to complete this matter and not let her little cousin down.
Song Xixi also had great confidence in her, and was waiting for her to become a business expert and bring back a lot of money to her family, so that she could eat well and drink like a worm every day while focusing on her tasks.
A nine-year-old girl is naturally not enough in the eyes of those old fox-like businessmen. She must have someone who looks like she can achieve great things to help her.
This person is naturally Song Cai.
In the evening, the family had dinner, and at Song Xixi's suggestion, Song Qingqing revealed the entire plan to sell the tofu recipe.
At first, the Song family did not agree, thinking that it would be much better to let those businessmen participate in the tofu business in the form of franchises and charge 40% of the profits like those franchise stores, rather than a one-time deal.
Until Song Qingqing analyzed to them that they were doing this, the supervision of these large franchisees was beyond their reach. Moreover, such large businessmen had accounting veterans, so it was not difficult to falsify the accounts and get through.
By then, only they themselves will know how much the 40% of the income allocated to the Song family will really be.
In the end, the Song family was persuaded and agreed to buy out Tofu Fangzi and get real money.
With the support of her family, Song Qingqing became more confident. Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, she couldn't wait to find the franchise store owners.
