Chapter 181: Pie in the Sky

Seeing that Chen Hongming finally said what he meant, Li Yuan couldn't help laughing.

In many cases, the first of the two sides to state their true intentions indicates that one side is already in a weak position. Before, Chen Hongming obviously wanted to take a shelf, and waited for Li Yuan to mention the matter of cooperation first. After all, Hospitable Restaurant Group is also a predator in the catering industry in Beijing, and there is no reason to show weakness in front of Li Yuan, a fledgling young man.

However, after tasting the Xiantao brand ingredients, Chen Hongming's mind changed. While being surprised by the deliciousness of these ingredients, he also knew that if he didn't seize the opportunity to cooperate with Li Yuan today, the person who regretted it would definitely be himself. With the quality of Xiantao brand ingredients, Li Yuan can even choose a partner at will, and he can still be very popular in the capital.

Chen Hongming is also a veteran in the business field, so he naturally knows that he must not miss this opportunity. So he immediately changed his strategy and took the initiative to tell Li Yuan of his intentions.

Although he had a slight upper hand, Li Yuan did not show the slightest smugness, but said very sincerely: "I have long heard that Hospitality is one of the largest catering groups in Beijing, and I feel very honored to have the opportunity to cooperate with your company." ”

Li Yuan's words made Chen Hongming feel very comfortable, so he said to him with a smile: "Brother Li, let's not praise each other, let's talk about how to cooperate." I'm a more down-to-earth person, and I don't like to talk about things that are vain. ”

This is also in line with Li Yuan's mind, he immediately nodded to Chen Hongming and said, "Okay, then let's talk about your requirements first!" ”

"I don't have any special requirements." Chen Hongming was really refreshing, and said to Li Yuan without hesitation: "Let's not talk about the price or anything, you can give me as much as you give others, the key is the problem of supply." I heard that you have a limited supply, and the quantity is not very large, and there are so many restaurants under the umbrella of Hospitality, if the supply is too small, it is really not good! ”

In fact, as soon as Chen Hongming opened his mouth, Li Yuan guessed that he was most likely to bargain with himself on the issue of supply. Seeing that Chen Hongming was really like this, Li Yuan also shook his head lightly and said, "I won't tell you, Lao Chen." Right now, I'm pushing my production capacity to the limit. There are no recent plans to expand it either. If you really want peaches for ingredients, I can find a way to squeeze them out, but this amount is ...... I'm afraid there really won't be a lot. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yuan smiled apologetically at Chen Hongming, and then continued: "I have supply contracts with many customers. Quite a few people helped me when I was just starting out in my career. So...... I really can't do anything to deprive them of their quota and develop other customers, please understand. ”

Chen Hongming had indeed planned to ask Li Yuan to reduce the supply to others and provide him with as many ingredients as possible. But now that Li Yuan has blocked this road in advance, he naturally doesn't want to mention it again. I had to nod and say: "Of course, our business is about integrity, otherwise how will we continue to mix in the future?" ”

But having said that, Chen Hongming was inevitably a little unhappy in his heart. After all, Chen Hongming is one of the giants of the catering industry in Beijing, and he is usually begged by suppliers. Unexpectedly, when he came to the small Wuxi this time, not only did he have to come to the door in turn to ask for help, but he was rejected if he wanted to get more goods, which inevitably made Chen Hongming feel a little faceless.

However, at this time, Li Yuan said with a smile again: "But you are a big customer in the capital, and you were introduced by Lao Huang." We're so close again, so I'm going to do my best to meet your request no matter what. It is...... It may take a little longer, and you'll have to worry a little more. ”

Hearing the turning point in Li Yuan's words, Chen Hongming immediately smiled and said: "Brother Li, if you have any plans to say it, let's work together, if you have difficulties, don't be polite to me!" ”

Li Yuan said: "Old Chen, at present, I really can't provide you with more ingredients, but...... If you're interested. We can cooperate to set up a plantation on the outskirts of the capital, and produce vegetables to sell in the north. I am responsible for providing the seeds and planting techniques, and you are responsible for finding the right land, managing and selling the land, etc., and we have half of the funds. What do you think? ”

Listening to Li Yuan's words, Chen Hongming's heartbeat immediately accelerated by a few beats. Now he felt like a big pie had fallen from the sky and smashed it on his head impartially.

Chen Hongming originally just wanted to buy some ingredients from Li Yuan, but now he actually hopes to become Li Yuan's general agent in the north, and the gap between the two can be said to be very different. Chen Hongming has been in business for many years, where can he not see the business opportunities contained in the Xiantao series of ingredients? Although he is also a well-informed person. But at this time, I couldn't help but show excitement.

"Brother Li, you're not joking with me, are you?" Barely suppressing the excitement in his heart, Chen Hongming said expectantly: "Brother, I'm old, I can't afford such a big blow." ”

Li Yuan smiled and said, "How could I joke about this? You just give a letter of approval, whether you are interested or not. If you are interested, we will talk about the details of cooperation, and if you are not interested, I haven't said it. ”

In fact, Li Yuan said this not on a whim, but he had such a plan for a long time. As Xiantao vegetables became popular in the province and in Shencheng, he gradually discovered the lack of productivity on the farm. Relying on the more than 90 acres of greenhouses in the farm, even the needs of several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River cannot be met, let alone the markets in the north and Fujian and Guangdong.

Li Yuan understood that if he wanted to occupy the national market as much as possible, he had to open more vegetable bases, and the layout should be reasonable. This was originally what Li Yuan planned to do next, but he didn't expect Chen Hongming to come to the door by himself. Therefore, Li Yuan simply pushed the boat along the river and proposed to cooperate with the other party and let him act as an agent for the northern market.

Li Yuan is also full of confidence in this, believing that as long as Chen Hongming is not stupid, he will definitely not refuse his offer. After all, the popularity of Xiantao agricultural products is obvious to all, and anyone can see that this is definitely a business that can make a lot of money.

This is exactly the case, after making sure that Li Yuan was not joking, Chen Hongming hurriedly nodded and said, "Do you still need to ask, of course I am willing!" ”

"I know that Lao Chen is also a happy person!" Li Yuan smiled and said to Huang Danyang: "Thank you, Lao Huang, if it weren't for your introduction, I wouldn't have found such a good partner!" ”

Knowing that Li Yuan was praising Chen Hongming, Huang Danyang smiled modestly: "I'm not wrong about anything, I just want to have a meal!" ”

Although Li Yuan and Huang Danyang were joking, Chen Hongming couldn't wait to ask him: "Brother Li, tell me what kind of cooperation method you plan to make, and you have to discuss a specific charter, right?" (To be continued.) )
