Chapter 177: Cooperation

It's no wonder that Pierre would say such things. As he estimated, the market price of these truffles is as high as nearly 80,000 euros, which is more than half a million yuan when converted into yuan.

For Pierre, who only opened a restaurant, he may have more than that, but he will never be able to come up with so much cash. And even if Pierre can scrape together 80,000 euros, he will have to spend a large part of it on keeping the restaurant running, and he will definitely not use it all to buy these truffles.

In fact, such a result had long been expected by Li Yuan, but he still pretended to be surprised and said: "It's only 80,000 euros, and you can't take it out?" ”

Pierre smiled bitterly: "I just opened a restaurant, and I am not a bank, how can I come up with so much money at once?" ”

Li Yuan muttered deliberately: "With such good ingredients, the first thing I think of is you, it's a pity......"

Pierre was moved: "My friend, I have received your wishes, but ...... I really can't afford these truffles. You can go to other western restaurants and ask, these truffles are of such good quality that they will definitely sell out quickly. ”

Seeing that Pierre's words were also quite for his own sake, Li Yuan also became more determined in his previous decision, and said to him with a smile: "Lao Pi, I have always been very interesting to my friends, since you treat me as a friend, I will definitely not treat you badly." ”

The Frenchman didn't quite understand what Li Yuan meant, and asked puzzledly, "Do you want to sell it to me cheaply?" No, no, no, my friend, I can't accept your kindness, and you'll be at a loss. Friends are friends, business is business, and I don't want to confuse the two! ”

"It's good that you have such an awareness, I'm getting more and more satisfied." Li Yuan said with satisfaction: "It's impossible to sell it to you cheaply, but we can partner in the truffle business, how about you as my agent?" ”

"Agents?!" Pierre was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said with a smile: "This is really unbelievable, thank you for giving me this opportunity!" ”

Seeing that the French also said the idiom correctly, Li Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said: "That's good, Lao Pi, I'm happy that I even have a good Chinese level!" ”

"I don't have the surname Pi......," Pierre whispered in protest. But soon asked Li Yuan with great interest: "How do you think we should cooperate?" ”

"Of course, I'll provide the truffles, and you'll sell them." Li Yuan said the plan he had thought of a long time ago: "As for how to sell it and who to sell it to, it's all up to you, and I have only one requirement, that is, the price of these truffles." It must not be lower than the average price of the market. ”

Pierre also nodded immediately: "Of course!" This is all the best truffles, and if it is not much higher than the average price, it is a failure, how can it be lower than the average price. ”

agreed with Pierre's statement, and Li Yuan then said to him: "As for your remuneration, it is 20% of the truffle sales." In short, the more expensive the truffles I give you. The more you earn, the more. ”

The plan proposed by Li Yuan is still very fair. As long as Pierre finds a way to sell these truffles for a good price, he can get 20% of the sales, which is already very good.

Just like the French themselves said, the truffles harvested by Li Yuan alone are worth around 100,000 euros. In other words, as long as Pierre sells this batch of truffles at the market price, he can also get 20,000 euros. And if Pierre had managed to sell the truffles for a higher price, he would have been paid more.

There is really no way to be more satisfied with Li Yuan's conditions. Pierre nodded hurriedly and said, "I have no opinion at all, I can sign the contract now!" ”

Knowing that foreigners value a contract very much when doing business, Li Yuan naturally will not object. The two quickly drew up a contract and signed their names. Li Yuan also solemnly stamped the company's contract seal to show the importance of cooperation between the two sides.

After getting this contract, Pierre couldn't help but be overjoyed. And he is so happy not because of how much money he can make in this cooperation. After all, the French don't value money very much, otherwise he wouldn't have quit his well-paid job and come to China to open a Western restaurant.

Pierre's vision was to introduce gastronomy to food lovers from all over the world. And cooperate with Li Yuan to sell these top truffles. Just in line with Pierre's ideals. Pierre was delighted to think that the guests of the top restaurants in Europe could taste such good truffles because of his connections.

After signing the agreement with Pierre, Li Yuancai asked him with a smile: "Old skin." Can you tell us how you plan to sell these truffles? ”

Now that the two sides are already partners, there is no need for Pierre to hide anything from Li Yuan, and after a little thought, he said to him: "I also know many chefs of high-end Western restaurants in China, and I believe they will be very interested in these truffles." I'm ready to ...... Take out 30% and sell it in China, so that domestic diners can also taste such a good truffle. ”

I am also quite satisfied with Pierre's arrangement. Li Yuan nodded and then asked, "What about the other seventy?" ”

"I'm going to send it to Europe for auction!" Speaking of this, Pierre looked excited, waved his arms and said: "You don't know, even one piece of truffles of such good quality will cause a sensation in Europe, and the discoverer will definitely send it to auction." Almost every truffle is of the same quality now, and it will definitely attract a lot of attention when the time comes, and it will definitely fetch a high price! ”

Speaking of this, Pierre paused and said to Li Yuan with some embarrassment: "Actually, I don't care how much money I make, but I hope to introduce these truffles to really tasteful customers, so that I will be satisfied." ”

Li Yuan doesn't care who eats these truffles, even if someone buys them to feed the pigs, he doesn't care, as long as there is money to be made. Although Pierre's purpose was not to make money, his arrangement would obviously make the truffles sell for a higher price, and Li Yuan fully supported his decision.

After listening to Pierre's plan, Li Yuan patted him on the shoulder with great satisfaction and said, "Well, your arrangement is very good. Do a good job, I'm optimistic about you! ”

Pierre nodded hesitantly, ready to show his strength, rubbed his hands and said to Li Yuan: "I'll call my domestic counterparts now and ask them who are interested in truffles." Then I have to contact my friends in Paris and ask if there is a suitable auction for truffles recently......"

At this point, Pierre seemed to suddenly remember something, he stared at the truffles in the crisper, and then let out a long sigh, his face full of helplessness.

"I didn't think of that!" The Frenchman turned his head and glanced at Li Yuan, who looked like a deflated ball, shook his head and sighed in a low voice: "If it is sent to Europe for auction, how to preserve this truffle is a big problem, the longer it drags on, the more the quality of the truffle will decline, and it will not be so popular!" (To be continued.) )
