Wanjin Lady

Chapter 294 Intellectual Property Rights
Hongmei received the invitation card that Wenwan had just written. The invitation card was written on rice paper with a delicate texture, smooth surface, and dark patterns, which looked formal and solemn.

"Not only that, but also Miss Xu, Miss Zhao and the others?"

Hongmei was stunned. "But girl... these people have eyes on the top of their heads. Last time at Miss Sun's banquet, they deliberately ignored and isolated us. Why should we invite them?"

Wen Wan smiled and said, "This is a different time now. Since the Wen family is open to business, no matter what kind of guests they are, we should at least welcome them with a smile. Besides, when it comes to promoting Ruiguo Juice, we can't do without the help of these young ladies. By the way, come with me to Lanyue Pavilion tomorrow. These young ladies are of noble status, so we must not make any mistakes with the banquet."

Hongmei didn't understand why at this critical moment, he didn't go to look for the second young lady, but instead invited these young ladies in the city to dinner.

But since it was the girl's order, Hongmei had no choice but to distribute all the invitations.

Hongmei went door to door handing out invitations, while Zhu Wang and Shopkeeper Lei Zexin came to visit Wen Wan at daybreak. Lei Zexin's expression was no longer as cold and stern as before. As soon as he saw Wen Wan, he smiled flatteringly, "Hey, Shopkeeper Wen, since you have such a relationship with Lord Wei, why didn't you tell me earlier? I wouldn't have to worry all these days, afraid that I would make a mistake and disrupt your plans! How about my acting these days?"

Zhu Wang was obviously more informed. As soon as he entered the room, he asked anxiously, "I heard that my second niece is missing? Have people in the city sent people to look for her? My eldest niece, why are you so reserved? You didn't tell me, Old Zhu, about such a big thing? I don't have any other skills, but I can help find her!"

Lei Zexin asked in surprise: "The second young lady of the Wen family is missing?"

Wen Wan didn't want to say anything and just vaguely said, "She's fine. The little girl played around and lost her sense of proportion. She's at her adoptive father's house right now."

These words put the two of them at ease.

Lei Zexin thought to himself: Fortunately, I chose to be on the same boat with Wen Wan a long time ago. After all this time, Wen Wan and Lord Wei, the Yao family, and the Yuan family are a family. With such a relationship, what can't they succeed in?

"Shopkeeper Wen, I saw that quite a few people placed orders last night... right?" Shopkeeper Lei rubbed his hands, and seemed very excited when he recalled the scene last night. He had done business before, but he had never seen or heard of such business before.

He recalled the day when Wen Wan suddenly came to him and asked him only one question: Do you dare to offend the Cheng family?
He remembered his answer.

If I have enough money, I will dare to do it!

Wen Wan laughed so hard that she couldn't stop, praising him for his magnanimity.

Later, Wen Wan proposed a partnership between the two Wen families. She would provide the recipe for the Ruiguo syrup free of charge, and would receive a 30% profit on every jar sold. Furthermore, Zhu Wang would have to provide grain for the Lei family's other liquors for the next ten years.

In this way, the Wen, Lei and Zhu families became an inseparable community.

But Lei Zexin just couldn't understand why Wen Wan repeatedly emphasized... that to the outside world, their two families must pretend to be incompatible.

But it doesn’t matter now!
This Rui fruit juice is very famous and there will be no worries about sales in the future!
From now on, Wen Wan will be his ancestor!
"Don't worry, the wild grapes have been brought back in small batches over the past two days. I've had them washed with salt water and pureed according to your recipe... They'll be packed into jars soon. In two or three days, we'll be adding yeast and sealing them. This batch will yield at least a hundred jars of wine."

Wen Wan pondered for a moment, "It's not enough. Last night alone... we sold 130 jars of wine. Shopkeeper Lei, can you expand production capacity further?"

Lei Zexin's eyelids twitched when he heard Wen Wan's confident tone. He thought to himself that selling more than a hundred jars in one night was not enough. Could it be that Wen Wan was planning to take over the entire Bozhou market so quickly?
too fast!
So fierce!
This girl does business... so disorganized!
Lei Zexin asked tentatively, "Shopkeeper Wen...how much do you need?"

Wen Wan smiled faintly, a glint of cold light in the depths of her eyes. "Five hundred jars a month." Lei Zexin shook his head, somewhat hesitant. "I'm afraid Bozhou... can't handle that many goods."

"If Bozhou doesn't work, there's Bingzhou. If Bingzhou doesn't work, there's Xuzhou. Shopkeeper Lei only controls the wine, so I'll naturally open up sales channels."

Lei Zexin smiled, "Hey, God of Wealth!"

Isn’t this the God of Wealth?
When signing the contract with Wen Wan, Lei Zexin hesitated for several days. Firstly, Wen Wan was young and he was worried that she could not take on the responsibility; secondly, Ruiguojiang's main customers were young ladies, and the price was high, making it difficult to sell; thirdly, Wen Wan made it clear that the third branch of the Yuan family also had their eyes on this recipe. If the Wen and Lei families reached a cooperation, they might face off against the Yuan family later.

However, Wen Wan allowed him the right to operate independently. Lei Zexin thought that he could slowly open up sales channels through his own channels and gradually occupy the market.

As for offending the Yuan family, Lei Zexin was not afraid.

If you are afraid of taking action, why would you start a business?
Moreover, in the wine merchant business of Bozhou, everyone can see that the Cheng family of Bozhou is in a period of transition. The focus of the old lady Yuan is on her son's imperial examination. There are not many particularly capable people among the younger generation of the Yuan family. It is only a matter of time before they fall from the top of the mountain!
In recent years, the Cheng family has dominated the wine-making industry in Bozhou. After thirty years of ups and downs, it is now Lei Zexin's turn to be the banker!

But Lei Zexin didn't expect that Wen Wan would make such a big move right from the start!

A lantern festival, a fireworks display, and a vulgar and crude "Legend of Jiaojiao" allowed Ruiguojiang to tear open the already saturated market in Bozhou and penetrate into it.

The market for young ladies...that's a wasteland that no one has ever set foot on!

It is a wasteland, but also a fertile land!
This made Lei Zexin, who had been excited all night, slowly come to his senses. He could no longer think of himself as he wanted to become bigger and stronger and then slowly kick Wen Wan away. With a big tree like Wei Zheng to lean on, he could only worship Wen Wan as his ancestor!

"Shopkeeper Lei." A gentle voice brought Lei Zexin back to his senses. "The production of Ruiguo pulp takes quite a while, and I'm afraid the customers will have to wait a long time. When the first batch of Ruiguo pulp is delivered... make sure to make some noise!"

Shopkeeper Lei immediately came up and said, "Shall we deliver it to your door with drums and gongs?"

"Give out some small gifts and use higher-end packaging for the Ruiguo pulp. In short, we need to establish the high-end and elegant brand image of Ruiguo pulp. This will prepare for future price increases for Ruiguo pulp."

Further price increases?

As if seeing through Shopkeeper Lei's concerns, she smiled gently and said, "We have two brands. One is sweeter and takes the high-end route. The other is a middle-of-the-road route. Without the middle-tier foundation, the price can't be raised."

Shopkeeper Lei nodded. "I understand. But... we made such a big move last night, I'm afraid these wine merchants won't just sit there and wait for death. I heard... someone has already privately contacted the elderly couple performing the shadow play, offering a large sum of money as bait, asking them to modify some of the lines in the play..."

Wen Wan smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Lei is being too reserved. They want to move the shadow play over intact. The only line they changed is probably the three words 'Rui Guojiang', right?"
