Chapter 386 Opening the First Franchise Store
She just said it casually, but unexpectedly the shopkeeper took the money seriously.
Now he has directly defeated Gu Chan's army, leaving her speechless.
"Damn it! It seems like you have to speak more leisurely from now on. You can't just talk nonsense with your mouth open."
Gu Chan couldn't help but secretly thought to herself as she watched the enthusiastic money coming from far away. murmur.
Qian Yuanlai talked endlessly about his family's inn business, trying his best to show his strength and business acumen in front of Gu Chan.
After all, Gu Chan is a famous celebrity now. If he can cooperate with such a famous person in the future, he will only make money but not lose money.
Gu Chan smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, shopkeeper Qian, let's not talk about this for now. I know you are a person with brains and strength. I also want to open up the market in Nancheng. How about you?" If you really want to cooperate with me, just help me sell menstrual pads.”
“I’m afraid that’s not a good idea, right? I’ve heard about it before, but it’s a popular menstrual pad in the Central Plains. A place called Zhongyuan Medical Center over there is selling it. We are selling it without their consent. I'm afraid something will happen!" Qian Yuanlai said.
Businessmen’s intuition is very accurate. Generally speaking, if something is selling hotly in an area, this group of people will go out of their way to squeeze in and make a fortune.
In modern terms, pigs can fly even if they seize the opportunity.
Gu Chan originally thought it was annoying that money came from far away, but seeing that this old boy had such a business acumen, she couldn't help but start to look at him more than once.
With a roll of her eyes, she said slyly, "It's okay. I have a cooperative relationship with Zhongyuan Medical Center. The two proprietresses there are my acquaintances. I can help you get this agency right."
“What is the right of agency?” Qian Yuanlai asked.
"The agency right means that as long as I authorize you, in the entire Nancheng area, only your shopkeeper Qian can sell menstrual towels. Anyone else who wants to sell must get the goods through you, and You only need to send a caravan to Zhongyuan Medical Center in Zhongyuan City to get the goods. Correspondingly, Zhongyuan Medical Center will only supply you with goods. Except for you, Zhongyuan Medical Center will not give you a monthly payment if anyone goes to Nancheng. It's a towel." Gu Chan explained.
Qian Yuanlai was extremely excited when he heard it.
Menstrual pads have long been sold out in the Central Plains area. All the women there have abandoned menstrual sticks and used menstrual pads instead. This is enough to prove that this thing is good for women. Said the attraction is huge.
And until now, menstrual towels have not been rolled out across the country. In the future, as long as all women in the Tiancang Kingdom use these things, wouldn't they be able to collect money just sitting at home?
Such a great opportunity to make money was now in front of him, how could he not be excited.
No, in excitement, he immediately said to Gu Chan, "Well, Shopkeeper Gu and we will cooperate. I want this so-called agency right here in Nancheng."

"In this case, you open another store, and from the profit earned every month, you will give 10,000 taels of silver to Zhongyuan Medical Center, and I will name your store." Gu Chan said with a smile.
"Shopkeeper Gu, what kind of fame is this?" Qian Yuanlai asked curiously.
This kind of business model like what Gu Chan just said is indeed very new. So far, the entire Tiancang Kingdom has never had this kind of business model.
Gu Chan explained patiently, "This is called a franchise store. You can understand that you form an alliance with Zhongyuan Medical Center to open a store. Zhongyuan Medical Center names your store and supplies you exclusively. If you sell menstrual towels in the Nancheng area, no matter what you sell, it is your responsibility. Zhongyuan Medical Center will not interfere. You only need to send them a franchise fee of 10,000 taels of silver every month. ""Then I will get the goods. Is it free?" Qian Yuan said.
"What you think is great. Of course you have to pay the cost price for the goods! It's impossible for them to supply you for free. They only charge you 10,000 taels of silver per month! Don't you think so?" Gu Chan said angrily.
Qian Yuanlai lowered his head and thought about it carefully, and he felt that for a product with such potential as menstrual towels, you only need to pay a monthly franchise fee of 10,000 taels, which is quite reasonable, and The most important thing is that once he forms a franchise store, he can go to Zhongyuan Medical Center to get the goods at cost price.
In this way, even if someone is hoarding goods in bulk in the market, they are hoarding goods at the market price. The market price must be higher than the cost price, so it does not pose much of a threat to him.
On the contrary, he owns menstrual towels at cost price and can control the market price. In the end, it is he who makes the profit.
Wanting to understand this, Qian Yuanlai agreed without saying a word, "Okay, shopkeeper Gu, it's settled. I want this agency right, and I also want to open a franchise store, but You can’t fool me. Don’t let me go to Zhongyuan City and find the two proprietresses of Zhongyuan Medical Center, but they won’t supply me.”
"How could I fool you! I didn't say it in vain, we can sign a contract!" Gu Chan spread her hands and said.
"Can those two boss ladies really give you face like this?" Qian Yuanlai said still worried.
Ma Zheng was sitting aside and couldn’t listen any more, and hurriedly said, “Stop nagging, hurry up and get the Four Treasures of the Study and sign the contract. Then you can take the contract to Zhongyuan Medical Center to find the proprietress and the others. , Can’t you just see if they can supply you?”
“That’s right, you won’t lose money if they don’t supply you, so what are you afraid of?” Yuanying followed suit. Said angrily.
After Qian Yuanlai heard what the two said, he made up his mind and immediately asked the waiter to bring the four treasures of the study. Then he picked up the brush and quickly wrote the contract according to Guan Chan's instructions.
Without thinking, Gu Chan directly signed her name on the contract and pressed her fingerprints on it.
Qian Yuanlai also signed and pressed his fingerprints, and then both parties signed a contract to finalize the matter directly.
After Gu Chan collected the contract, he said to Qian Yuan, "Hurry up and find a store in a better location to clean up and open it as soon as possible. I will have to leave soon after I finish my work."
"Okay, okay, then I'll go right away. You do your work. I'll get it done as soon as possible. Please go and cut the ribbon for the opening." Qian Yuanlai said hurriedly.
After saying that, he quickly collected the contract, quickly left the inn, and went to choose a shop.
After he left, Yuanying immediately raised her thumb at Gu Chan and said, "As expected of the shopkeeper, his business acumen is really great."
"Yes! What about agency rights and franchise stores? This is the first time we have heard these two words!" Yuan Jie said admiringly.
"Okay, don't flatter me, eat quickly, have a good rest tonight after eating, and stay in Nancheng for another day tomorrow. We will set off the day after tomorrow to continue south, to the Jiangnan area." Gu Chan laughed. explain.
Then everyone continued to talk and laugh and eat.
After eating and drinking, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, and finally had a good sleep.
