Liu Duo and Ye Liu weren’t fools. They knew what she was implying. She meant, you only drew a sample, but she had to look for labour and make it out of cloth. Even if it were available in the shop, it would still incur some costs.
“Little Duo, what do you think about a thirty-seventy split?”
“Oh, thirty-seventy?” Liu Duo and Ye Liu looked at each other. His eyes told her he would go with whatever she decided.
Liu Duo smiled in reply as she lowered her head and played with his long fingers, “Miss Fang, I believe you aren’t as sincere as you think!”
“True, all I did was draw a sample, so it seems like you call the shots, but without my samples, what would you be making?”
She looked up and stared at Qin Fang as she spoke in a serious tone, “In any kind of business, don’t ideas always come first, and actions come later?”
Seeing the look of seriousness on Liu Duo’s face, Qin Fang knew Liu Duo was not someone to be fooled. She forced a laugh, “Take it easy, Little Duo. Of course I’m willing to work with you, so may I ask what you have in mind then?”
“Twenty-eighty. I take eighty, you can have twenty.”
Ye Liu thought Liu Duo would suggest a fifty-fifty split, but what came out of her mouth surprised him. After all, Qin Fang was certainly the one calling the shots.
Would the negotiation fail? Ye Liu was quite worried. Liu Duo gave his hand a reassuring pat.
“This...” Qin Fang furrowed her brows. Twenty-eighty would put her at a great disadvantage.
Liu Duo did not rush. She said slowly, “Miss Fang, think about it. This pig I drew, have you seen anyone draw something like it? I think I’m the only one who can do so in the entire kingdom.”
“This little pig is just one of many emotions. The whole package would include happiness, anger, sadness, joy, and resentment. It can all be done on this pig.”
“You’ll be the only shop who sells it. When the large amount of revenue comes in, will you still think getting twenty is too little? If you feel that way, then I’ll find another partner. Good things are worth the wait.”
She stood up, took Ye Liu by the hand, and was about to leave.
“Wait,” Qin Fang, who had been indecisive, heard what Liu Duo said and was suddenly enlightened. She had not given it enough thought.
Liu Duo turned around, “Is there anything else? We have other places to go.”
“Oh, you’re joking, aren’t you, Little Duo?” Qin Fang quickly pulled her back passionately and offered her a seat.
“Let’s have it at twenty-eighty then! Little Duo, if you don’t mind, can you draw the other pigs with different emotions? I want to make the arrangements immediately.”
Qin Fang really wanted to see what the other emotions looked like.
Liu Duo laughed in her seat, “Don’t rush, we can sign the contract first.”
She wasn’t a fool. If she had drawn them out, she would not have any tricks left, and where would she go then?
“You’re right, that’s my bad,” Qin Fang picked up the brush and began writing two copies of the same document.
She finished with her signature and her stamp, along with the stamp of the tailor shop, before handling it to Liu Duo.
All shops in the kingdom had their own special seals that came with legal benefits.
She read the contract and was about to sign when Ye Liu stopped her, “Wait, Little Duo, I’ll call up dear Mo to take a look.”
He couldn’t read, and he thought Liu Duo couldn’t read too, so both of them wouldn’t know if the contract was legitimate, so best to call Ye Mo for confirmation.
“Er......” she looked at him. She wanted to say she could read, but that was not possible, because they both knew the original Ye Duo was illiterate.
Qin Fang nodded with a smile, “Go ahead, find someone literate to help.”
Liu Duo watched Ye Liu go, feeling rather helpless. It seemed she would have to find an opportunity to pretend to learn how to read, otherwise it would be too bothersome.
