Late July.
In the blink of an eye, Qiu Xi had to prepare to leave.
However, before returning, she still had to settle matters.
...
"Xi, our product test results are out."
"The product has no issues, and its grade is very high."
"Now we can finally go all out."
"Xi, time is money. Let's quickly discuss this cooperation, and I can strive to start construction as soon as possible."
As soon as Shen Yingjun entered, he saw Qiu Xi, and then started talking.
He spoke one sentence after another without stopping, leaving Qiu Xi stunned. She didn't even have time to interject, and just watched him finish speaking.
Finally, after he finished, he prepared to pull her to sit down and discuss cooperation.
Qiu Xi smiled helplessly, "Uncle Shen, if we're going to talk, shouldn't you let me see the results first?"
"We've waited for nearly a month, so this little while shouldn't be urgent, right?"
Shen Yingjun's voice grew louder, a little impatient, "Urgent! How can it not be urgent!"
This matter of making money couldn't be delayed.
Qiu Xi really couldn't argue anymore.
"Alright, we'll talk here."
"But I still want to see the results."
Hearing this, Shen Yingjun immediately handed over what he was holding.
"Here."
Qiu Xi took it and flipped through it carefully.
Finally, she smiled with relief and nodded.
This month's time had not been wasted. After settling this last matter, she could go back to study with peace of mind.
It had been too difficult!
Qiu Xi put down the certificate in her hand and said to Shen Yingjun, "Uncle Shen, there are no problems. Let's talk business."
"Alright, then I'll speak first, relying on my age."
Without moving from their spots, the two began to talk.
Even in the future, people wouldn't be able to imagine how the cooperation between the two families, for a product that would become immensely popular across the country, was settled like this.
"Uncle Shen, please go ahead," said Qiu Xi.
After all, what she was about to say wasn't very polite, so she might as well let him speak first.
"Alright."
When Shen Yingjun got serious about business, his face was like a smiling tiger, making him inscrutable.
"You've seen the results, and they are indeed excellent. So, I've considered the cooperation."
"One is that I will buy out the formula, and the price certainly won't let you suffer."
Qiu Xi smiled blandly, "And the second?"
She had seen many people negotiate business as steadily as this.
But she had never seen someone so steady and yet so young.
This made Shen Yingjun even more serious, "As for the second, it's for you to share the risks with us."
"This is solely for our current cooperation, and the object is this existing product line."
"We'll handle production and sales, but we need to discuss the final price."
"Although you are the one providing the formula, we still have many issues afterwards, so this..."
Shen Yingjun explained the matter to Qiu Xi in great detail.
He clearly outlined everything, including the initial investment, materials, and labor.
However, after listening, Qiu Xi calmly said, "Uncle Shen, since you've finished, I'll speak now."
"I've thought about both these proposals, and I choose the first one."
"The first one is good... Huh?!! Xi, you said you chose the first one?"
Shen Yingjun, with his normal train of thought, only reacted after speaking.
He was now completely surprised. Anyone who wanted to make money wouldn't hesitate to choose the second option!
Moreover, the second option was something he had to argue against many opinions to get the older guys in the company to agree to, and it had been a difficult process.
Although it would indeed put pressure on the young girl, who was on her own, with the results now in hand, it was a sure profit!
Did this girl have any other issues?
"Qiu Xi, Uncle has told you, if you're short on money or have any other problems, you can tell Uncle, I..."
Given their current relationship, he could also be generous.
Qiu Xi suppressed a smile, "Uncle Shen, if you say it like that, won't the people in your company find trouble with you?"
Who would be so eager to give money away, and not a small sum at that.
"..."
"You can still smile. If it weren't for your talent and our current friendship, I wouldn't bother with you."
"But look at you now, with all these ideas in your head. What are you thinking?"
She didn't want the money, but whether she had money or not, people shouldn't act like this!
Qiu Xi hadn't expected to have to comfort her partner before she could even speak.
She had no choice but to say, "Uncle Shen, I have my reasons for choosing this way. Don't rush, listen to me first."
"Then speak," he said.
I want to see what you can say.
Qiu Xi looked at Uncle Shen's unconvincing expression and felt like laughing again.
When she first started talking, she thought it was a very serious negotiation.
She hadn't expected it to turn around so much that they were practically giving her money.
If she hadn't had other considerations, she would have agreed. After all, why refuse free money?
But thinking about her future plans, she knew she had to concede some things, otherwise there might be lingering resentment later, which wouldn't be good.
"Uncle Shen, of course I have my own ideas for saying this. Otherwise, wouldn't I be a big fool?"
"Hmph..."
Indeed! You are a big fool now!
"..."
Qiu Xi touched her nose, feeling a bit awkward, and then continued what she hadn't finished saying.
"Actually, I have the idea of starting a beauty company. Although I've been thinking about starting it, this process might take a lot of time."
Shen Yingjun remained calm, "Mm? Continue!"
She was about to start such a company herself, and now she wanted him to buy out this product? Wasn't that foolish!
"It's a bit difficult to start this company, so I wanted to ask Uncle Shen for help, to give us a hand."
"Mm!"
"Isn't it just about establishing it? That's simple. Just find me, and I won't refuse."
It was nothing difficult to have his subordinates run errands.
After hearing this, Qiu Xi's smile deepened.
"Uncle Shen, if it were that simple, I wouldn't be looking for you."
"I'm not short of money. What I lack is people."
"And I don't plan to trouble you for all the people. What I want is the 'big fish' that can swallow this market."
"Oh? You, tell me more."
Shen Yingjun became interested, and his posture straightened considerably.
