The two nodded in agreement. With such detailed writing, step by step, if one still doesn’t understand, wouldn’t that be foolish? To be honest, they’ve been in business their whole lives and may not have been able to write such a detailed plan. That’s why some can soar, while they’re just nouveau riche.

"Our collaboration will primarily focus on medicinal wine, but also medicinal tea. Of course, we might develop other products in the future. The medicinal wine will be the main product. You should understand that with my master’s exclusive secret recipe, the wine definitely cures any sickness and is beneficial for one’s health even when they’re not ill."

The two naturally understood this logic. Dao Xuzi’s pill is priceless, and if medicinal wine with Dao Xuzi’s exclusive secret recipe is really produced, won’t it be highly sought after? It’s the realization of this that excites the two families.

Both families are in the grain business, but the grain trade is controlled by the Imperial Court. Hence, lacking strong foundations, they never know when they’ll be taken advantage of.

The Hao Family is slightly better off; previously, Hao Xiaoyun became a concubine to the Magistrate and also had a business in pepper. But being a concubine isn’t easy. Li Tongzhi is fickle; he fancied Xiaoyun for two years and then married Sun Shanshan, dividing the pepper business with her relatives. Moreover, Sun Shanshan is a sworn relative of the Leng Family Pharmacy, which was later shut down. Although Sun Shanshan is resourceful, Li Tongzhi would not dare offend Yang Ruxin, which is why he set Sun Shanshan aside and married another. Who knows what will happen to the pepper business in the future?

Therefore, if the Hao Family truly wants to stand firm, they must find a strong backing. Now that such an opportunity has arisen, failing to seize it would be foolish.

Mr. Hao even considered that if the collaboration really happens, he would bring Xiaoyun back. After all, she’s his sister; he can’t let her waste away in some corner of the Li family.

Although the Qin Family has relatives working in the Governor’s Office, they don’t hold important positions. It’s fine for buying information with money during normal times, but they can’t help when critical matters arise. If they could really hold onto Yang Ruxin, it would be better than relying on a Prince, as Yang is still a Divine Doctor.

Yang Ruxin doesn’t care what the others think. Since they’re going to collaborate, they naturally need to establish basic trust.

In the following discussion, the three planned the specific collaboration details: Yang Ruxin would provide the venue and technology, while the Qin Family and Hao Family would supply all capital and manage subsequent store sales, with each family taking a twenty percent profit.

It appears that Yang Ruxin is the one benefiting, but with long-term vision, one sees that they actually have the advantage. This venture is essentially with the Empress Dowager, basically the Emperor, so who would dare interfere? People might actually try to curry favor, which bears resemblance to being an Imperial Merchant.

"Once the workshop is completed, I’ll hire villagers as workers. You can send a Manager over, and I have a transport team to deliver goods to you each month. As for your headquarters location, you both can discuss. After all, there should only be one medicine liquor store in the same county."

"No problem, sister," Hao Jian quickly replied, "We’ll do as you say. As for the profits, ten percent is fine. Really, they’re getting the better deal."

"Exactly, ten percent is plenty," Qin Shou quickly agreed.
