Clan Prosperity Starting With My Servant Girls

Chapter 498: Motives

"Now?" Lin Xuan Qi wouldn’t mind the franchise fees from them now, except for the fact that he was not ready yet.

"But you have to wait for around a month or two before I get everything done."

There were no stores, training materials, or production line for the ingredients set up at the moment, and he would have to make sure they were settled before he could let Old Heng and the others start operating their franchisee branches.

"We understand." Old Heng said and glanced at the others.

The others that were with him nodded their heads at him.

For them, showing their trust and goodwill to Lin Xuan Qi and getting a guaranteed spot at a discounted price was well worth the investment in the long run.

They had asked around and confirmed that the soap and Lin Clan Taste Transcendent Essence businesses came out of nowhere and were very profitable.

Although many had tried, there weren’t any competitors for the products that Lin Xuan Qi was offering.

And to have this opportunity to work with Lin Xuan Qi was something they wouldn’t want to give up on.

"If that’s the case, I will draft up the contracts and send them to your residence for you to sign." Lin Xuan Qi cupped his hands at Old Heng and the others and said.

"There’s no hurry... You don’t need to indulge old folks like us." Old Heng waved his hand at him and said.

Lin Xuan Qi knew that it was only customary courtesy, so he ignored it.

Once he got back to the mansion, he had better get things started running for the franchise.

And that was what he did after he bid farewell to Old Heng and the others.

There were twenty of them altogether, and with each of them paying one hundred and fifty taels of silver for the franchise fee, it would come up to a total of three thousand taels of silver.

Or to put it much more simply, three hundred taels of gold.

It wasn’t a huge sum of money, but it came at a crucial time for him to pay a visit to the capital and buy what he required.

He wrote the contracts with all the terms and conditions of the franchise and sent them out to Old Heng and the others.

After he was done, he didn’t stop.

Lin Xuan Qi went out immediately after to start planning for two new production lines to create the ingredients for the franchise.

The factories in the south were already overloaded with work that dealt with the soap and Lin Clan Taste Transcendent Essence, so he decided to make use of the factories in the north and east this time.

"Master Lin." The supervisor for the factory in the north was happy to see him, but his smile was short-lived when he heard what Lin Xuan Qi wanted.

Lin Xuan Qi knew what his concerns were and he said, "I know that you are worried about the workers being fully occupied.

"Don’t worry, I will be recruiting new workers for the new production."

There was space that was still available in the factory, and physically there was certainly more capacity for it.

The only bottleneck was having enough workers to do the work.

"Then, it wouldn’t be an issue." The supervisor said and listened when Lin Xuan Qi told him what he wanted.

Lin Xuan Qi briefed the supervisor on what was required and how to set up the production line.

And after that, he also allocated more areas in the factory for the living quarters.

With the coming increase in the number of workers, more space for living was also required.

After he was done, he went on to the factory in the east to do the same.

By the time he was done, it was already evening.

"Go back to the mansion." Lin Xuan Qi said after he got into the horse carriage.

The coachman nodded and cracked his whip.

Trot.

The horses started trotting and the horse carriage moved.

Lin Xuan Qi laid back to sit comfortably inside the horse carriage and glanced out of the window.

Along the way, he saw that the streets were pretty empty, with everyone preferring to stay in the warmth of their homes rather than staying out in the cold.

But he noticed many Qing Feng Sect disciples walking around with their swords in hand.

Zhao Geng Nian had delivered on his promise of getting the Qing Feng Sect disciples to be in charge of keeping the law and order of Hong Feng City.

Lin Xuan Qi couldn’t help it and shook his head at the sight.

At least Zhao Geng Nian was putting more effort into his pretense compared to Ruo Zhi. He gave out a sigh and thought.

That wouldn’t be the end of it, and Zhao Geng Nian would most probably make his next move soon.

But what?

He couldn’t figure out what Zhao Geng Nian was trying to achieve.

Right now, the Sima Family and the Qing Feng Sect were still, on the surface, working together.

It was too bad that he didn’t know the internal dynamics of the Qing Feng Sect so that he would be able to discover what the Qing Feng Sect and Zhao Geng Nian would do next.

Without knowing their motives, it was tough for him to do so.

Lin Xuan Qi thought about his inn and maybe he should let Old Feng, the innkeeper, try and gather information about it.

It was time to make good use of his inn to do so.

He also thought about the fact that he still hadn’t gotten any cultivators or a security escort team into the clan.

After he was done with the trip to the capital and had settled the franchise business, he might have to focus and work on it soon.

He was having a crazy idea on how to do it, but it would require a very large sum of money for him to do so.

Crack.

The crack of the whip took Lin Xuan Qi out of his thoughts, and he was glad to see the familiar gates of the mansion.
