Emma waved her small fist and said angrily: "But we have asked all the businesses on this street, and only the manager of the coffee shop agreed with us to set up a stall. Others either drove us away or let us Playing while playing. It’s disgusting! Let them see how good we are! We will definitely earn a lot more money than the Anna team on the street next to us!”

Lydia added: "If Anna's father, Mr. Smith, is not the ranger of the park, she would not have occupied such a good position in the park. You must know that the park has always been one of the best-selling positions for biscuits."

"Geographic location is part of the reason. In addition, Emma and I are not good at communicating with strangers. Lydia alone is a bit difficult. In Anna's team, Kelly and Gillian are both eloquent people. , naturally more likable." Lucy analyzed from the side.

Yan Ruxin nodded, appreciating the girl's calm and rational analysis.

But apart from what Lucy said, the street where the three little girls are located is one of the busiest streets in Los Angeles. There are many central office buildings along the road, near the core of the central business district.

Therefore, most of the shops lined up on both sides of the street are restaurants, boutiques and jewelry stores that look very tall, in addition to some convenience stores, coffee shops, bakeries and other shops.

And the morning is the busiest time for white-collar workers and elites in big cities. People on the street come and go in a hurry, and few people are willing to stop in front of the little girls' stalls.

Yan Ruxin tasted different types of biscuits and pastries, and found that these pastries were baked to a very high standard.

As a professional chef, in addition to more delicate control of details and richer ingredients, it seems that there is nothing to improve in terms of seasoning. Of course, those top chefs who regard baking as an art It is another matter, not within the scope of comparison.

Given the limited variety of Girl Scout cookies alone, the level of this squad can be called exceptional.

She suddenly thought of something, and smiled slightly: "Do you have a rule that you must sell biscuits in a designated block or must set up a stall? Can't you change to another street, or use other sales methods?"

The three little girls were all taken aback for a moment, and looked at each other.

In the end, Lucy said: "You can choose by yourself, but our family lives nearby, so we have always been active in this area. But besides setting up a stall in the community, what other ways can we sell biscuits?"

Yan Ruxin didn't answer, but asked, "How much does it cost you to produce a box of biscuits? What materials are you using? What's the selling price? Is it a fixed price, or can you adjust it yourself?"

"Why are you asking these questions?" Lydia asked suspiciously, staring at Yan Ruxin with big eyes, as if she didn't understand this person who asked everything before buying biscuits.

Lucy looked at Yan Ruxin very vigilantly, as if evaluating her intentions.

It can be seen that the girl's tutor must be very strict and her mind is very mature.

The chubby little Emma explained the raw materials very kindly: "Our biscuits mainly use..."

She counted all kinds of ingredients with her little chubby fingers, and explained the baking technique, her little round face was full of excitement.

It is not difficult to see that little Emma is very good at this.

"I think your biscuits can generate greater profits. I mean, if I invest in your business, help you find sales channels, formulate marketing strategies, and sell them, how much profit can you give me?" Yan Yan Ru Xin throws out her purpose.

There is no way to invest $87.7 in any high-end projects, but it is more than enough to invest in the Girl Scout biscuit business.

"You mean you want to invest in us?" The girls looked at each other, they had never thought of this possibility.

For a long time, everyone has baked biscuits by themselves and set up their own stalls to sell small biscuits. At most, there are differences in locations and marketing methods. They have never tried others to participate in the investment.

Lucy frowned: "But part of the money we earn from selling biscuits will be used for team activities, and the sales will be recorded to participate in the biscuit selling competition."

Yan Ruxin shook her head with a smile, and patiently explained: "That's right, but your manual didn't say that you can't cooperate with others, right?"

"...It seems that I didn't say it." Lucy replied after thinking about it.

"That's right. It's like we are doing business in partnership. I contribute part of the funds and strength, and you also contribute part of the funds and strength. We make money together. If you make money, you take your share and use it for team activities or I won't bother with anything else, and I will take my share, and everyone will not interfere with each other." Yan Ruxin used her housekeeping skills to sell a stock that God knows if it will make money or not. He said to the three little girls with the attitude of a foolish investor with a lot of money.

When she first entered the industry, this was what she did every day. Although she hadn't done it for many years, she was not unfamiliar with it.

The three girls had a muffled and chattering debate, and finally Lucy spoke on behalf of them.

Lucy said: "We don't know you. We only know that your name is Angela. You didn't even buy a box of biscuits. How do we know that you are not lying to us? How do we know that you are capable of helping us sell more cookies?" How many cookies?"

"Well, good question, but this is easy to solve." Yan Ruxin said, "We can sign a contract, which can bind both parties. For example, it can be agreed that when our cooperation is established, , I need to make a plan to attract the main customer groups, and find a place to help you sell cookies, conduct publicity to attract target customers, etc., and you have to bake enough pastries and assist me from the side.

We can set a goal, and if I don't meet that goal, it's a breach of contract.At the same time, we stipulate the proportion of the business owned by both parties, and finally we divide the money according to the negotiated proportion.If either party breaches the contract, there will be corresponding penalties, and that's about it. "

In a few words, Yan Ruxin explained the concepts of partnership investment, marketing and contract law to three 13-year-old girls in the most simple and easy-to-understand language.

The little girls buried their heads under the table again, chattering.

Lucy said: "We discussed it and felt that our business would not be worse no matter what, so we can promise you, but we have a few conditions."

"Then tell me about the conditions." Yan Ruxin responded.

She treats the little girls as equal partners, and does not despise them because of their age.

This is Yan Ruxin's professional ethics, no matter how small the business or investment is, she must take it seriously.

"First, we must ensure our own safety first, lest you kidnap and sell us, so you must provide a solution, otherwise we will not agree." This time, Lydia raised her head and raised her chest, quite imposing typical.

In the United States, guns are legal, and drug trafficking and gangsters are rampant.

Yan Ruxin lives in Manhattan, New York, one of the most prosperous cities in the world, but she dare not go to many places in this city, especially at night.

So it is a good thing that children have such a strong sense of vigilance.

If they believed Yan Ruxin, a stranger without the slightest hesitation, Yan Ruxin would have to worry about whether her "little" partners would be too naive, and whether the plan should be revised accordingly.

"Well, I can provide you with a solution right now." Yan Ruxin smiled, and there happened to be a patrolling policeman on the street at this time, she stopped the policeman and said, "Mr. Policeman, hello, it is like this, I I'm doing a business with these little girls, because it's the first time we meet, so they are very cautious about their own safety, can you please pay attention to it when you are patrolling?"

The patrolling police officer looked very steady and enthusiastic.

He agreed and patted his chest to express that if Yan Ruxin did something bad, he would definitely find and arrest her immediately.

The girls were quite satisfied with this. After thanking Mr. Police, Lucy continued to put forward the conditions: "Second, we are responsible for baking biscuits and attracting guests. The original materials are brought from home, but if you join, you You also have to pay for materials.”

Yan Ruxin said: "Of course there is no problem. I will bear half of the material cost, but you have to provide me with the corresponding receipts. If there is no receipt, you must also list a price list and a list of ingredients for each box of biscuits." , so that the accounts can be clear and transparent. In addition, I will be responsible for the sales channels and promotion. So now, should we discuss the final share ratio first?"

The girls had already discussed this issue before, and they stretched out five fingers together, and Emma said in a cute voice, "Let's score [-]-[-]!"

Yan Ruxin raised her eyebrows, then nodded in agreement: "OK, deal."

"Oh yeah! It's a deal!" The girls jumped up and clapped excitedly in celebration.

Yan Ruxin smiled faintly at the side.

Although she was sure that she was worth more than [-]%, she did not use her negotiating table skills.

That's the trick used by adults who are like wolf and tiger with hidden evil intentions, facing three little girls, arguing for a difference of no more than a few hundred dollars...

Yan Ruxin is not like this.

After that, the girls put forward several small conditions, which were all related to the specified time, place... and detailed information.

In the end, Yan Ruxin signed the contract to cooperate with the Girl Scouts squad—the Girl Scout Cookies Sales Contract.
