#28 - Section 28
"You definitely won't be disappointed in cooperating with us."
"The channels we possess and the market we control are absolutely beyond your imagination. Let us sell your perfume, and we'll definitely make a fortune."
Allen smiled but didn't reply. Instead, he asked, "Miss Anna, I know your merchant guild has enough strength, otherwise, I wouldn't have waited until you came to Rose Town to take out the perfume."
"Let's not beat around the bush. How about we talk directly about cooperation? I'll be responsible for supplying the goods, and you'll be responsible for sales. The profit split is 70/30, seven for me and three for you. Also, these perfumes must first be sold in the Thorn Flower Earl's territory. I want the entire earldom to know the name of Rose Town within a week!"
Allen didn't waste too much time talking. Anna said so much just to improve her merchant guild's position in this transaction, attempting to obtain more profit.
"Lord Baron, isn't a 70/30 split a bit too little? The channels our shops have aren't available to just anyone. Moreover, with all due respect, Lord Baron, how much perfume do you think you can produce with your current situation?"
"Why don't you hand over the formula and production method to us? We can mass-produce it, and you can just sit back and reap a constant stream of gold coins. What do you think about us providing you with 30%, or even 40%, of the net profit?"
Anna revealed a charming smile, speaking calmly and with extreme confidence.

Chapter 46 Allen's Confidence (1 Seeking flowers, reviews, and monthly tickets!)
Allen laughed upon hearing this. His laughter was cold, disdainful, and even a little disappointed.
"It seems I can't reach cooperation with your merchant guild."
Allen said directly and indifferently, "Although I am only a baron, although my factory is not big, and although I don't have any channels."
"However, there is one thing I have enough confidence in: perfume will definitely become the most beloved item for ladies in the future, and perfume will definitely gain a broad market."
"My conditions with you are already generous enough. Since you don't think it's acceptable, then we don't need to talk anymore. I don't think my perfume won't sell without you, nor do I think your merchant guild is the only merchant guild."
"Miss Anna, please understand your current position. You only possess some shops and channels. You are not the only partner for me, but I am the only partner for you, understand?"
Allen said with a cold expression. The change in his attitude instantly made Anna's expression stiffen. Yes, Anna certainly understood. She understood both her advantages and disadvantages.
However, she had previously consciously added her own advantages in the process of the conversation, which could dilute her disadvantages and even put pressure on the other party by pointing out Allen's disadvantages.
In her opinion, Allen was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old brat. Perhaps this kind of young boy had the talent to govern a territory, but when it came to doing business, Anna didn't take him seriously.
Anna was a clever woman. She had a stunningly beautiful face and a slender, hot figure. A woman like her was enough to make countless men fall for her.
In the past, when she negotiated business, as long as she showed a slight smile or a more affectionate attitude, those men would directly agree to her requests.
Before, she had also shown a smile in front of Allen and even leaned very close to him, perfectly displaying her charm.
But Allen didn't waver in the slightest.
He even directly pointed out the disadvantages of her merchant guild.
Damn it, why is this little guy so difficult to deal with!
Anna didn't show any change in expression on the surface, but she had already begun to feel troubled in her heart.
The perfume business must be secured!
With her vision, she could definitely see that perfume would definitely sweep the entire continent's market in the days to come!
This was an opportunity for her, and even for her merchant guild.
"Hehe, Lord Baron, you jest. I don't look down on you. With the talent, wisdom, and ability you have shown now, your future achievements will definitely be more than just a baron."
Anna said with a smile. She was telling the truth. In her opinion, Allen would definitely achieve extraordinary things in the future.
"Since Your Lordship is unwilling to share the formula and production method, then let's pretend I didn't say anything. Everything will be done according to Your Lordship's wishes, but Your Lordship, can we discuss our profit-sharing ratio?"
Anna no longer hoped to obtain the perfume's formula and production method.
But she needed to fight for some profit.
"Of course, we can discuss it."
Allen immediately showed a smile, as if the cold and ruthless guy from just now wasn't him at all.
Seeing Allen's speed of changing faces, Anna couldn't help but curse inwardly, 'Little fox!'
"I can take a step back and give you 40% of the profit, but I need some support from the Roland Merchant Guild."
Allen said calmly.
This time, Anna's expression was slightly surprised: "Support?"
"I guess Miss Anna came to the Thorn Flower Territory this time because of the upcoming national war, right? War is the best money-making opportunity for you merchants."
Allen said lightly.
Anna's face changed. She also knew about the upcoming war between the Ryan Principality and the Blue Moon Principality through the analysis of the merchant guild's high-level executives.
How could this little baron possibly know about this kind of thing?
You should know that she had met many nobles in the Ryan Principality, not to mention Allen, a baron, even viscounts and even a part of the earls didn't know anything about this national war.
Only earls like Albert who were close to the border had this kind of speculation. Currently, the entire Ryan Principality hadn't released any news, so Allen shouldn't know.
"It seems that Your Lordship is indeed different from other barons. Your vision, knowledge, and wisdom are one in a hundred."
Anna quickly showed a hint of a smile: "But you should know that the world has no shortage of talents like you."
"If you want to get the support of the Roland Merchant Guild, perfume alone is not enough. You need to know that supporting a noble is a huge investment."
Anna said calmly: "Your situation does not meet the standards of our Roland Merchant Guild."
Allen's expression remained calm after listening: "Sparrow."
He softly called out to the shrewd financial officer with a small mustache who had been standing straight behind him.
Sparrow immediately snapped his fingers, and a maid immediately walked in holding a box.
"I wonder if these two things can make Miss Anna support me?"
Allen changed his words. He no longer asked to get the support of the Roland Merchant Guild, but directly changed it to Anna.
These were two different concepts.
Anna's expression became curious. She stared at Allen. She didn't know what was in the box that made Allen so confident.
PS: First chapter, seeking flowers, reviews, and monthly tickets, get up early in the morning, the first thing to do is to read the novel, and by the way, give me today's tickets and flowers, hehe, seven updates today, calculated, um, 18,000 flowers, owing five updates, three 1,000 rewards, owing three updates, owing one review ticket, alas, too much, slowly add more, don't dislike me slow...
Chapter 47 Anna's Shock and Transformation (2 Seeking flowers, reviews, and monthly tickets)
"This is?"
Anna looked at the small box in front of her, which only contained a wine bottle and a small jar.
"You can take a look."
Allen smiled slightly.
"Pour wine for Miss Anna."
Allen said to the maid on the side.
The maid immediately poured the wine from the wine bottle.
In an instant, a rich and mellow aroma of wine spread out.
This was different from perfume. This kind of wine aroma was more mellow and intense.
In an instant, Anna widened her eyes. Not only her, but even the few guard knights beside her widened their eyes. Some even swallowed.
"What fragrant wine!"
Anna exclaimed. As a merchant, she had naturally seen all kinds of delicacies and tasted countless wines.
But she had never encountered such a strong-smelling wine.
Allen gestured for her to taste it.
Anna took a deep breath, picked up the wine glass, and took a small sip.
The strong wine entered her mouth, with a mellow and strong fiery taste, and a hint of sweet grape fragrance from the distilled wine bloomed slightly in the fiery taste.
In an instant, the distilled wine conquered Anna's taste buds.
"Good wine, good strong and mellow wine!"
Anna's eyes lit up, and her gaze towards Allen had changed.
If she had been treating Allen with the mentality of looking at a country baron before, then at this moment she had increased Allen's weight to a position comparable to Earl Albert, and even in her opinion, an Allen was more valuable and had more potential than Albert.
"This is the unique wine of my Rose Town. I call it Rose Night. Like roses, it can make people feel hot and passionate."
Allen said with a slight smile.
"Good name!"
Anna very much agreed with the name Rose Night.
"Next, Miss Anna, please taste a little dessert."
Allen had someone open the jar of maltose, revealing the dark yellow maltose inside.
"What is this?"
Anna had already put down all her arrogance and contempt. She looked at Allen with anticipation in her gentle voice.
"Maltose, a little dessert, I hope Miss Anna likes it."
Allen asked someone to bring Anna a small spoon. Anna dug out a spoonful of maltose, and the viscous maltose pulled out long threads.
"How viscous."
Anna exclaimed, and then put a small spoonful of maltose into her mouth.
In an instant, Anna's expression became excited.
"So sweet, such a sweet taste, this is the sweetest food I have ever eaten in my life! Heavens, are my chefs and pastry chefs dog brains!"
Anna couldn't help but curse her chefs excitedly.
After all, in her opinion, she had spent a lot of gold coins to support them, but they couldn't make such sweet things!
After seeing Anna's reaction, Allen's smile became even brighter.
"Then, beautiful and noble Miss Anna, may I ask, do I have the qualifications to get your support now?"
Allen's voice made Anna's expression stiff. This overly beautiful woman was very tangled in her heart.
But soon she let out a breath. She had already decided that she must win these three treasures today!
This could completely allow her position in the family to get a huge boost.
