Upon hearing this, Fan Chengxu remained silent for a while.
Wei Ruo was not in a hurry, she just looked at Fan Chengxu.
After a while, Fan Chengxu asked, “What is your name?”
“Xu Heyou.” Wei Ruo replied.
“Mr. Xu,” After muttering to himself once, Fan Chengxu smiled and said, “Alright, Xu Heyou, I’ll do business with you. But I have one condition.”
“Please speak, Mr. Fan.”
“Since you want to do this business with me, you cannot sell these seasonings to others in the future.” Fan Chengxu asked.
Wei Ruo shook her head: “I can’t promise that, Mr. Fan. I can only promise that within Taizhou prefecture, I will only sell this five-spice powder and oyster sauce to you at Zuixian Residence. If it’s outside of Taizhou prefecture, that’s another matter. And I will continue to use the five-spice powder and oyster sauce in my own deli.”
It was not enough to only sell the three items to Zuixian Residence, even if it was outside Taizhou Prefecture.
Shen, the shopkeeper, was a little angry, “Mr. Xu, don’t be too excessive.”
He thought their young master was someone you could haggle with.
Wei Ruo replied calmly, “Business is about willing buyer and willing seller. Mr. Fan can raise his requirements, I can raise mine, if we agree, we’ll talk, if not, we won’t. There’s nothing too excessive or not excessive.”
Fan Chengxu chuckled, “You’re right.”
Wei Ruo continued, “In fact, just this five-spice powder is enough to make Zuixian Residence stand out among many restaurants, and the chefs of Zuixian Residence are inherently better than those of other restaurants. The seasonings will definitely be used to a level that other restaurant chefs cannot reach.”
“Furthermore, I can see that you, Mr. Fan, are an ambitious person. Your business empire will not be limited to Taizhou prefecture. If you plan to open restaurants in other places in the future, I can continue to supply you in these places.”
Fan Chengxu looked at Wei Ruo with a half-smile.
Feeling his sharp gaze, Wei Ruo remained calm and composed.
“Fine.” Fan Chengxu said, “I accept your conditions. The five-spice powder and oyster sauce, apart from your own deli, can only be supplied to my restaurant. You are allowed to sell soy sauce to others. But you still need to teach my chefs how to use these seasonings.”
“Okay, no problem.” Wei Ruo replied.
Then Wei Ruo and Fan Chengxu talked for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, discussing some aspects of future collaboration.
During the discussion, Wei Ruo remained confident, courteous and not humble or arrogant.
After the discussion, Wei Ruo left the Zuixian Residence.
After Wei Ruo left, Shopkeeper Shen said to Fan Chengxu, “Young Master, this Mr. Xu is somewhat disrespectful to you. It is already giving him face to be willing to do business with him and establish a long-term cooperation. Yet he still refuses this and that.”
“What did he do wrong?” Fan Chengxu asked in return.
“A nameless nobody like him, speaking to you in such a way…it’s a bit too presumptuous…” Shopkeeper Shen replied cautiously.
“If he can be easily manipulated, then he is not worthy to do business with me.” Fan Chengxu said with a light smile.
Anyone who could negotiate with him face to face must at least have equal wisdom and courage.
Shopkeeper Shen was surprised. He didn’t expect such an ugly young man like him to win their young master’s approval.
