Donglai awkwardly touched his head.

Sun Lixin was also putting pressure on them from the sidelines.

"We are a time-honored brand, a century-old name."

"If you bring in this company and ruin our reputation, then it won't be something that can be decided with money alone."

“Everyone in Kyoto knows about Bianyifang; it’s been built up over hundreds of years.”

Seeing the other party's aggressive attitude, Donglai could only keep casting pleading glances at Lin Yifeng.

This small action caught Liu Wei's attention.

He looked at Lin Yifeng next to Donglai and began to have doubts.

Is this young man really in charge?

In his opinion, Lin Yifeng was far too young.

But the other person's aura standing there was completely different from that of someone his age. He stood tall and proud, his eyes still sharp, and he was full of confidence, showing no sign of stage fright.

Rather than saying that they were doing business with Donglai, it would be more accurate to say that the young man was observing Donglai's business acumen.

That is indeed the case.

Lin Yifeng did not investigate this business deal primarily because he wanted to assess Donglai's personal capabilities.

Donglai's core value is doing business with sincerity and exchanging sincerity for genuine trust.

This thing works very well within the Makino area, but outside of Makino, he will definitely suffer in this regard.

If this deal goes through, Lin Yifeng will definitely not let Donglai handle the remaining matters. In this situation, Guo Fengsheng's abilities are much stronger than Donglai's.

Donglai was at a loss for what to do.

He still wants to try his best to gain the other party's trust.

Donglai's approach doesn't work on these two seasoned veterans; they don't believe in Pang Donglai's existence. How can you get them to sit at the same negotiating table with you?

Seeing that Donglai had no clue, Lin Yifeng stopped pressuring him.

"That's right, our main purpose in coming here this time is not to bring in your store or generate profits."

"We don't have that much time to train a qualified roast duck chef."

"Besides, Master, if we were to find someone to learn your craft, it would take them five or eight years to learn it, which is simply impossible."

Lin Yifeng glanced in Sun Lixin's direction.

This compliment made Sun Lixin beam with joy, and he nodded slightly in agreement.

That's absolutely true. For a century-old shop like this, it takes five years to train an apprentice and ten years to train a master. It takes at least five years to reach the point where you can actually open a shop.

Lin Yifeng's actions were also aimed at improving his relationship with Sun Lixin.

He glanced at the reluctant Liu Wei and continued explaining.

"There's one more thing I need to make clear."

"We just need the goods. Once you've made them, send them to us and we'll sell them."

“If there are problems with the goods, you must take responsibility. We can accept it once or twice, but if there are continuous problems, we will terminate the cooperation directly.”

“Here, the quality of the goods must be high enough before we will introduce them to the supermarket. It has nothing to do with whether you are a century-old store or not.”

As Liu Wei watched Lin Yifeng speak eloquently and completely dominate the room, he couldn't help but marvel at the man's composure.

His two speeches directly stated his purpose and also bridged the gap between him and the others.

Sun Lixin looked at Lin Yifeng in front of him with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"You said you want to import our roast duck, how do you plan to do it?"

As a master of state banquets, Sun Lixin naturally understands that Peking duck tastes best when it's fresh out of the oven.

Kyoto is quite a distance from Makino City. Even by train, it takes four or five hours, and by car, it takes at least seven hours to get there directly.

Given the distance and time, the roast duck would be completely cold by the time it arrived in Xinxiang.

Lin Yifeng smiled slightly.

"That's something you'll have to think about."

"I think if you send it in vacuum packaging, there shouldn't be any problem."

"As long as the roast duck can be guaranteed to be problem-free within a week, I think everything is fine."

To everyone's surprise, Sun Lixin's expression changed drastically after Lin Yifeng said those words.

As a conservative, he also strongly dislikes the fast-food approach to food, turning it into ready-to-eat products.

A couple of years ago, some companies from other places approached them, intending to divide the roast duck into different categories, turn it into ready-to-eat products, and promote and sell it. It was Sun Lixin who stopped this project.

Upon hearing Lin Yifeng's words, Liu Wei couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding.

However, Lin Yifeng didn't care about this.

In this room, the person I know best is none other than Sun Lixin.

In the years following the turn of the millennium, this guy frequently appeared on various variety shows, teaching people how to cook delicious dishes at state banquets.

Even in the later internet age, he led a group of veteran chefs to create the video program "Old Rice Bone".

Lin Yifeng also found it hard to believe that Sun Lixin was actually a conservative.

However, upon further reflection, it was only in 1996 that Sun Lixin began to make changes, adding many fashionable dishes to Bianyifang and researching many new dishes.

He's not that progressive in his thinking yet.

Sun Lixin, who had just been very nice to Lin Yifeng, immediately changed his expression.

"Wow, are they planning to use our Bianyifang brand to make money?"

"This young man is quite old, but he has a lot of ideas."

Sun Lixin gave a cold laugh, his expression no longer friendly.

Liu Wei, who was standing nearby, tried to smooth things over by asking questions.

"Vacuum technology? We've tried it before, but it's not suitable for our roast duck."

"This thing is not as simple as you think."

“Our roast duck is mainly smoked with jujube wood and various secret recipes. Once it is made into vacuum food, the taste will be completely different. It won’t taste the same.”
