Chapter 55: Negotiations
It is important to deal well with her neighbors, but Li Xueyan has not forgotten what she should do most at this time.
Nothing is more important than making money.
Since they no longer plan to continue to make money by selling zongzi, it means that they have no income during this period of time, and they can only sit and eat if they want to go like this. The top priority is to sell the zongzi as soon as possible.
In fact, long before Qiao Linger made trouble in the past, Li Xueyan had received olive branches from some restaurants or restaurants. It's all the people in this town, especially the people who do catering, and they must be more concerned about these things.
For example, they know that someone who came out of nowhere began to sell some inexplicable zongzi and robbed their business, so they will naturally notice this matter and then come to inquire about the news and find a solution.
And finding Li Xueyan and asking her to cooperate with them is their solution.
At that time, Li Xueyan did not directly refuse their invitation, after all, I really wanted to see them in the future, but at that time, Li Xueyan felt that she had no experience after all, and if she agreed to others so recklessly, she might be deceived or cheated or something.
Now that the zongzi are no longer for sale, Li Xueyan is ready to give priority to them. As for whether to buy out one or sell it to everyone, it depends on the other party's plan.
When Li Xueyan was about to go, Duan Yunfei really followed.
"What are you doing here? Isn't it good to accompany Xiao Nuan at home, to be a family...... Cook? Li Xueyan joked that she was now preparing to go to the house where she had contacted her at the beginning.
Duan Yunfei had long been accustomed to the strange words that would pop up suddenly at any point that Li Xueyan didn't know when, and he could always judge the meaning of those words from the context.
"What kind of cook? If we are men, we should earn money to support our families, but it is you who should cook at home...... The woman is right. Isn't that right? ”
Li Xueyan smiled: "That's right, that's right, the young man can, learn and sell now." ”
"Where, where the master teaches well, it's just a matter of drawing inferences from one another."
"You don't give me poverty here," Li Xueyan put away her smile slightly, and asked with some worry: "Didn't you let you accompany Xiao Nuan at home?" She doesn't know her life here, what if something happens? ”
Duan Yunfei said: "She is still unfamiliar? You don't care as much about our daughter as I do, do you? She has long had a good relationship with the girl surnamed Wang and the kid surnamed Zhou next door, like a family. ”
"The old king next door?" Li Xueyan was stunned, could this be the origin of the old Wang next door in the earliest days? But fortunately, this old Wang's family is a girl, otherwise it would be too reverie.
"What's that?" What Li Xueyan said was so inexplicable that even Duan Yunfei didn't guess what this meant.
"It's nothing, as the saying goes, fire prevention, theft prevention, and anti-king."
"You mean, there's something wrong with their family?" Duan Yunfei's tone became serious, which showed that he was still quite concerned about Li Xiaonuan.
Li Xueyan hurriedly explained, "No, no, I'll just talk about it casually, it has nothing to do with them!" Don't get me wrong. ”
If it was because of her words that Duan Yunfei began to suspect the old Wang family, and then stopped Li Xiaonuan's friendship with their children, then her sin would be great.
"Really?"
"Really."
The two chatted and chatted, and it didn't take long to reach their destination.
Fuman Building.
Looking at the very high-profile signboard in front of her, Li Xueyan couldn't help but sigh, it's good to be rich, and you have a lot of money. reminds me of a small dumpling stall of hers, which can attract their attention, and she also lowered her posture to express her desire to cooperate.
It seems that such a boss must be a big dealer, and with such a boss, it is strange that business is not hot.
"Is your shopkeeper here? If you want to report it, I will say that the one who sells zongzi is looking for him. Li Xueyan and Duan Yunfei entered the store together.
"Okay, you two wait."
It didn't take long for Li Xueyan and Duan Yunfei to be politely invited. The shopkeeper of Fumanlou received them in a luxuriously furnished private room, and he was not too surprised to see the visitor, and he was very polite in both speech and work.
Li Xueyan couldn't help but think that such a person is probably a nobleman among businessmen. It's not about the amount of money, it's about the attitude towards your opponent or teammate.
When a person's status is higher than that of others, he should treat others as human beings. When you are inferior to others, you should treat yourself as a human being.
And the boss of Fumanlou has done this, and Li Xueyan admires him more and more. If he can give her a satisfactory answer, this person is the person she wants to work with the most.
The owner of Fumanlou is called Lu Youde, and he is a native of this jade pot town. In the early years, although he often traveled to various places to do business, it is said that he made a lot of money. Later, it may be that when you are older and want to settle down, you will hand over the outside business to others to do, and you will come back and open a restaurant.
Of course, these things are not what Lu Youde told them today, they came to discuss business, and Lu Youde will not take the initiative to talk to them about these family things. And Li Xueyan and Duan Yunfei are not familiar with him, so naturally it is impossible to ask.
Li Xueyan either heard from others before, or took the initiative to inquire about these things. It was because of her good impression of the boss of Fumanlou that she decided to be the first to find here.
If Lu Youde can give her a satisfactory result, it just so happens that Li Xueyan doesn't have to waste time elsewhere.
"The two of you are here today, presumably for the sake of your zongzi stall, right?" Lu Youde asked Li Xueyan and Duan Yunfei to serve tea.
"Boss Lu is right, it's for this matter. I won't say polite words, when talking about business, getting straight to the point is the most enjoyable for both parties. Boss Lu also went to me before, I want to ask, Boss Lu said that as long as I have the idea of cooperation, I can come to you at any time, is this still a word? ”
Lu Youde smiled: "Naturally, it is counted. So now that the two of you are here, are you here to cooperate with me? ”
"Yes."
"So what do you mean, what kind of cooperation do you want?"
Li Xueyan smiled: "I have thought of two ways these days. The first is that I provide the zongzi, let's sign a contract, you can sell my zongzi in the store, and then give me a commission according to the income. The second way is that I directly sell the detailed method of zongzi to you, no matter how you sell it, it has nothing to do with me. Let's get two bills. ”
Lu Youde was a little surprised, he didn't expect that this young girl was indeed quite business-minded. He used to think that this little girl was just a delicious rice dumpling, but he underestimated her.
It's a lot of thinking about it at a young age.
Lu Youde smiled: "Miss Li, these two methods are very good...... I don't know which one you prefer? ”
Li Xueyan herself didn't know which comparison would be beneficial to them. The first one, the advantage is that as long as Lu Youde sells zongzi and has income during the contract period, she can get a commission. And this commission can basically be regarded as net income, and they don't need to contribute at all.
But the disadvantage is that Li Xueyan can't accurately know their actual income, and she can trust Lu Youde, but she can't guarantee that someone under him will make trouble. Although Lu Youde has only opened such a Fuman Building now, it is impossible for him to manage this place all the time and look at the account books.
So in case someone in their store does something, it will still be very bad for Li Xueyan.
Another point is that if the zongzi can't be sold later, Li Xueyan has to take the risk of never being able to get income from here again. She wasn't worried that Fumanlou would go out of business, but she was afraid that sooner or later the zongzi would be tired of being eaten and lose its value.
If it is the second method, Li Xueyan doesn't know how much it is appropriate to sell her method, after all, she has never done this kind of thing before, and she doesn't know the market price. But this method is relatively quick to make money, and the method is relatively clean and neat, which is Li Xueyan's favorite style.
All in all, the first method is relatively risky for Li Xueyan, while the second is riskier for Lu Youde.
Li Xueyan said with a smile: "Since we took the initiative to talk to Boss Lu about business, of course the initiative must be in the hands of Boss Lu." If not, we will not be able to do so, and it is not impossible for us to have the opportunity to cooperate with other countries in the future. ”
"Other collaborations?" Lu Youde grasped the key words in Li Xueyan's words.
Li Xueyan said: "I won't tell you anything, I will make this decision, of course, I don't expect to rely on the money I earned this time to sit on the empty side, Boss Lu is also a businessman and knows the importance of money." We have other plans, so we can only put the matter of selling zongzi on hold. ”
Lu Youde nodded, "Besides that, you should have other options, right?" I mean, your zongzi practice, besides our Fumanlou, there should be other places to go, right? ”
Li Xueyan didn't hide it either, and said bluntly: "That's right." In addition to Boss Lu, there are other bosses who have also come to me, and I won't hide it, let's put it bluntly, Boss Lu, I was the first to find it, which shows my sincerity in cooperating with you. ”
Lu Youde was noncommittal about this, but Li Xueyan's expression didn't look like he was lying. He can be regarded as having lived most of his life, and he is much older than the two young people in front of him combined, so there will be no problem in looking at people.
Li Xueyan seems to be very shrewd, but in fact, she shouldn't have any bad intentions, and she is also sincere. Since she said that, there should be no problem in general.
It's just ...... "Then Miss Li, can you tell us what are the other cooperation goals?" ”
Li Xueyan showed a more embarrassed expression and said, "This ...... Boss Lu is a bit of a strongman, right? I haven't gone to them yet, so I'll tell Boss Lu that my intentions are a bit unpleasant. If this reaches their ears, they will think that I am not capable of doing enough to climb them. ”
Lu Youde said: "Also, I forgot about this stubble." But since Miss Li doesn't want to say it, then I won't be bored. I'll think about what you said, Miss Li, don't worry. ”
Li Xueyan could hear that this was a precursor to the eviction order, regardless of whether Lu Youde was willing to cooperate with her in the future, but her attitude had already made it clear that there should be no big problem.
