Shopkeeper Lin was truly worried about her.

Lin Yuelan smiled and said, “Don’t worry, shopkeeper Lin.” I’m well aware of my own abilities, and I’ll do everything within my means. As for how to find these rare herbs, I have my own ways.”

Of course, Lin Yuelan could feel shopkeeper Lin’s concern and good intentions.

She said, “Shopkeeper Lin, it’s a way my Grandmaster taught me. Even if you don’t believe me, you have to believe in the medical saint!” Lin Yuelan brought out Doctor Zhang’s name to reassure shopkeeper Lin.

Hearing that it was a medical saint’s teaching, Lin Deshan stopped bothering about the source of these herbs.

He thought for a moment and said, “girl, don’t you think 20 – 80 is too low?” Business was business, and he had to fight for the greatest benefits for himself.

Lin Yuelan said, “shopkeeper Lin, you are clever. You’re not losing out at all, are you?”

Lin Yuelan didn’t give in on the share of profits. She was a businesswoman too. She smiled and said, “Shopkeeper Lin, actually, you know very well that when with the herbs I can provide, you only need to find buyers. Oh no, I can say that you don’t even need to find any buyers, and those buyers will come to you on their own initiative.

“In other words, you don’t need to provide any capital or cost. You will only need to take the 20 percent profit. Moreover, these medicinal ingredients are not ordinary medicinal ingredients but precious medicinal ingredients that can be sold in the hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of taels.

“The 20 percent profit might be the full profit you could earn by selling normal medicinal herbs for a year.

“Do you think I’m right, Shopkeeper Lin?”

When shopkeeper Lin heard this, he could only helplessly smile bitterly and say, “Girl, you’re really smart. I feel like I’m not negotiating a deal with a child but with a profiteer who has been in the business world for many years!”

In reality, although shopkeeper Lin also felt that this 20% was very good for him, he also knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Behind this high profit, there was a huge risk.

For one, if Lin Medicine Hall only sold these precious herbs once in a while, no one would notice. However, if he continued to supply these herbs, it would attract a lot of unwanted attention. People would do anything for money!

These precious herbs would attract countless people. They would risk their lives to steal them. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the herbs, he would definitely hire some guards at a high price or perhaps use other safety measures.

When Lin Yuelan heard shopkeeper Lin’s words, she smiled and said, “shopkeeper Lin, you’re too kind!”

Of course, Lin Yuelan had also taken into account the safety issues of placing the rare herbs in the Lin medicine Hall.

However, she would not interfere in this matter for now. She would let shopkeeper Lin solve it himself.

Right now, shopkeeper Lin’s character was still acceptable. However, when Lin Yuelan came with more valuable herbs, would he retain his honest heart, or would he be swayed by greed?

If Lin Yuelan wanted to have a long-term partnership with Lin’s medicine Hall, she had to test shopkeeper Lin for a while.

The cooperation between Lin Yuelan and Lin Deshan of the Lin pharmacy and the cooperation with Liu Qi of the Yuelai Inn seemed to be the same, but in fact, they were very different.

First of all, Lin Yuelan would only need to provide new recipes to Yuelai Inn to enjoy 30 percent of the profits.

On the other hand, with the Lin medicine shop, Lin Yuelan had to provide the stock, while the Lin medicine shop only needed to sit back to enjoy 20 percent of the profits.

Secondly, the prices of the dishes sold by Yuelai Inn and the herbs sold by Lin’s medicine shop were incomparable. One could be afforded by all, but the other could only be afforded by the rich.

Yuelai Inn’s yearly profit might not rival Lin Family Medicine Store’s profit for a month from selling the precious herbs.

Lastly, Yuelai Inn relied on Lin Yuelan to provide them with new dishes and recipes.

On the other hand, the Lin medicine shop didn’t need to do that. Lin Yuelan had to rely on them to sell her herbs. Technically, they could be foxes stealing from the henhouse. They could tell Lin Yuelan that the herbs had been stolen when it was Lin Deshan or his people who had swiped the herbs.
