Chapter 131 Cooperation with the Clan
Before Wang Jinyi could think deeply, the clan leader spoke:
"Since everyone is here today, let's first make the agreed parts into charter so that everyone can abide by them in the future. As for the parts that have not been agreed upon, we will try our best to reach an agreement today.
The 'Du Liao Jiang' (a name for craftsmen that began in the Tang Dynasty) has arrived and is ready to start learning the production process. What do you think, Zong Sun? "
Grandfather quickly stood up, listened carefully, and then replied:
"The younger generation will obey the orders of the clan leader."
"Okay, let's finalize the parts first. Now we'll read them one by one. Once both parties have confirmed they are correct, we'll put them to paper. Everyone, make sure you listen carefully."
The director took a special look at the little girl whose head had just popped out of the table. When Wang Jinyi saw someone was looking at her, she quickly straightened her back.
The clan leader glanced at a young man sitting at the corner of the table:
"let's start."
The young man began to read it one by one, and the two who were taking notes put pens and ink in front of them and wrote quickly.
The doors and windows of the room were only ajar, and the atmosphere in the room was heavy with so many people around. It was getting hotter and hotter, and everyone soon took out their handkerchiefs to wipe the sweat off their faces. Even the two women in the clan began to wipe the sweat from their noses and foreheads with their handkerchiefs from time to time.
Everyone on both sides of the long table listened quietly. The rights, obligations of both parties and some clan rules had just been read. Wang Jinyi put her two little hands on the table, wanting to take a break. The father pulled the child's hands down, put his daughter's hands on his legs again, and looked at his daughter with a warm smile.
After about an hour, it was finally time for the division part. Wang Jinyi pricked up her ears and listened carefully.
"…Profit calculation method: Total revenue minus costs, production costs, losses in sales channels and necessary expenses, amortization expenses, the clan and Xunyang Wang family split the profits in a 95:5 ratio.
...The payment for goods is settled every three months, and the funds will be transferred on the 10th day of the third month. If there are market fluctuations or unpredictable losses, the actual account validity period will be enforced.
Due to special events, delivery cannot be made and will be postponed to the 10th of next month.
This contract will come into effect as long as the cooperative operation project exists.”
Wang Jinyi's eyes were full of golden stars, and she was a little excited. She held her thighs tightly with her hands to prevent herself from cheering uncontrollably.
I heard the clan leader speak again:
"Wang Jinyi, if you have any ideas about the money you have earned, please tell us so that we can all listen. If it is feasible, the clan will support you."
Wang Jinyi almost jumped up when he heard this. There is such a good thing. The Wang family is really reliable!
Wang Jinyi raised her hand and was about to put it on the edge of the table when her father pulled her back. He then picked up his daughter and made her stand on the chair.
Wang Jinyi breathed a long sigh of relief; they could finally have an equal conversation.
At this moment, Wang Jinyi finally revealed his upper body from the table, so he pulled the knot on his belt, held it in his hand, and a soft voice rang out:
"Master, I am Wang Jinyi, and I have two ideas, both of which require the support of the clan.
Jin'er hereby implores the clan leaders to seriously consider this!
The first is that I want to build a college when the time is right. Actually, I want to build a school. I will talk about this in detail later.
Another thing is how much money you have. If you don’t have enough money, you can build a library or a collection building.”
Having said this, Wang Jinyi looked at everyone across the table. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he was afraid that the elders didn't understand, so he explained:
"I don't know how much that one will cost, so I thought of two. If I have more money, I will do the one that costs more, and if I have less money, I will do the one that costs less. But I don't know which one will cost more."
No one on either side of the table interrupted or commented; everyone was focused and waiting for the child to continue speaking.
Wang Jinyi took out a small handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his forehead and nose tip in a serious manner.
He spoke again:
"With this kind of pen, I'm afraid the Wang family will have to set up factories and stores in major cities in the future. Can I make one condition?"
No one said anything, so he continued to talk to himself:
"If I open a shop, I must do some literary promotion work. I have to collect couplets in front of the shop first. I have thought of the first line. Apart from collecting the second line, I will not participate in other activities.
However, I will pay for the expenses of collecting the lower couplets. Every three months, the collection activity summary will be sent to me along with the accounts and settlements, and I will use my share to pay for the prizes or rewards, which will increase the expenses for the clan store.
During the event, I will subsidize each store's employees with half a month's wages, which will also come from my bonuses.
My clan and I will settle our accounts on the due date without any delay.
But I would like to assign people to conduct irregular inspections. If there are any shops that do not take the matter seriously, can I ask the clan leader to punish or warn them?"
Wang Jinyi talked a lot in one breath. Everyone on the opposite table, except for the two people who were taking notes, stared at this little guy. The two clan wives had obvious disbelief on their faces.
The two boys sitting at the corners of the table both put their hands on the table and opened their mouths wide.
Although the grandfather didn't know that his granddaughter had added this additional item, he had heard his granddaughter ask him similar questions before, so he quickly digested this set of information.
This is what my granddaughter originally said about promoting the culture among the people and expanding the popularity of national culture.
Grandfather quickly stood up and tried to help explain.
The clan leader raised his hand to stop him:
"Okay, I've written down both of these. I'll agree to your request on behalf of the Wang clan. But we have to set up detailed rules. I'll keep someone to discuss these matters, and then we'll make a formal written agreement with the Xunyang royal family, and we'll abide by them together.
Wang Jinyi, do you have any other ideas? "
Wang Jinyi had a feeling of having met a wise leader and really wanted to thank the clan leader for his wisdom.
"Master, I promise that if the above rules can be implemented, I am willing to give the formula of colored pencils to the clan, or give priority to the clan..."
Before he could finish, the clan leader actually smiled, which was rare.
"
Wang Jinyi, you are still too young to understand that I agree with you. It is not for the future business of colored pencils. You can still decide whether to cooperate with the clan according to your personal wishes.
In addition, if the Wang family of Xunyang builds an academy or a library, the clan will give certain support. This is another matter, and at that time, regulations and deeds will have to be formulated separately.
But my commitment can be written into today’s charter.”
Wang Jinyi clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hand and looked at the clan leader with the utmost admiration.
This person does not care about interests, but focuses on the long-term development of the clan and the social reputation of the entire Wang clan! This person is worthy of being the clan leader, and it should be this person who is the clan leader, which is beneficial to the development of the Wang clan.
Since the deal has been reached and neither party has any additional terms, the charter is basically finalized.
At this time, the two boys came out and pushed open the door. Two young men dressed as servants outside the door served tea to everyone and opened all the windows in the room. The stuffy air in the room began to flow at once.
