Chapter 80 Contract Reversal, Xixi Breaks the Stalemate
Manager Wang was taken aback. Talk about their business?
As if remembering something, he asked incredulously, "You wouldn't happen to be the developer of that super popular skin-brightening cream in Beijing lately, would you?"
"If you've arranged to meet me in the conference room today to discuss the signing of a contract, then I must be the person you're talking about."
Manager Wang was still a little dazed as he walked toward the conference room. Could this person really be so talented at such a young age?
Leaving aside the clothes, as far as he knew, that skin-brightening cream was a favorite among the socialites in Beijing. The fact that it caught their eye was proof enough of how effective it was.
We have to close this deal today. Maybe he can use this to get the position he's always wanted.
...
Inside the conference room, the two groups were engaged in a lively discussion.
Chen Yi, who usually appears to be a gentle and refined person, was now blushing as she argued heatedly with Manager Wang over some issues of interest.
“Manager Wang, you have to have the right attitude when you’re doing business. You didn’t say these things when you came to my house.”
Mrs. Jiang, who was standing next to her, did not look too good either.
She was tempted by the generous gifts from the Friendship Store, which is why she sent her two children all the way from Huai'an.
What's going on now?
They have nothing of substance, yet they want to take away their recipe with those empty promises?
"Madam Liu, we have no choice. I don't know if you've heard, but soon the US president will be bringing his dignitaries to our country. We've been collecting all sorts of good things, thinking we won't lose face for our country."
The more we buy, the less money we have left. Of course, I promise that once the Friendship Store has sufficient funds, I will replenish them for you as soon as possible.”
"Hmph~"
Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
That sounds nice, but who knows when you'll have enough funding?
Whether you have the funds or not is just a matter of your word.
If Manager Wang knew that Mrs. Jiang was thinking this way, he would definitely cry out in his heart that he was wronged.
This time it really wasn't his fault; their Friendship Store was genuinely out of money!
After all, he still wanted to build a good relationship with Jiang Xixi and the others in order to get a promotion and a raise. Why would he offend them at this time?
Chen Yi and Master Jiang both looked unhappy, but Jiang Xixi, the protagonist, had a different idea after hearing what Manager Wang said.
"So you mean you can't come up with the 50,000 yuan formula usage fee you promised us before, and you can only come up with 30% at most? You don't know when you'll be able to raise the rest, and you still want my skincare formula, right?"
Manager Wang blushed with shame upon hearing these words.
That's definitely the point; it feels like this is a bit like bullying the young girl.
"I can agree to your request, but our contract needs to be changed again. The previous buyout was not feasible because you didn't have the cash, so we'll change the method."
The usage fee is only 10,000 yuan!
Jiang Xixi was interrupted by her teacher's wife before she could finish speaking.
"Xixi, think about it again. This is not a small amount of money." Mrs. Jiang thought that Jiang Xixi had been fooled by Manager Wang's words. Ten thousand yuan and fifty thousand yuan are not a small difference.
Jiang Xixi smiled at Mrs. Jiang, her smile carrying a reassuring tone.
Jiang Xixi is never one to suffer a loss.
Upon hearing this, Manager Wang, who was standing nearby, looked on with great anticipation. Could it be...?
Unfortunately, his illusions were soon shattered.
Jiang Xixi parted her lips, and words that were cold and ruthless to Manager Wang came out of her cherry-like mouth.
"The usage fee can be as low as 10,000 yuan, but you need to give me a share of every skincare product sold by your Friendship Store afterwards. I'm not greedy, a 50/50 split is fine!"
"A 50/50 split is fine?" Manager Wang's eyes widened in shock. "Young lady, don't you want to read what you're saying?"
After a long pause, Manager Wang finally spoke with some difficulty.
"Young lady, our Friendship Store earns foreign exchange for the higher-ups. I'm afraid we can't meet your requirements."
They give you 50% of the revenue, and then hand over another 30-40% to other departments. Their Friendship Store is definitely not a charity.
"Then there's nothing to talk about."
Jiang Xixi was confident that he would agree because she believed in her beliefs.
Sure enough, just as Jiang Xixi and the others had finished dressing, picked up their bags, and reached the meeting room door, Manager Wang spoke up.
"Miss Jiang, I can only negotiate a 30% discount for you at most. If that's acceptable, we can sign a contract. If not, I've done my best, but I still hope you can give our Friendship Store a chance."
"We never sell simple commodities here." Manager Wang's words were loaded with meaning, and Jiang Xixi basically understood what he meant.
Indeed, it is undeniable that the products of the Beijing Friendship Store are all collected from all over the country and can represent the customs, culture, and scientific and technological aspects of the Xia Kingdom. Being able to enter the Friendship Store's display case will definitely be of great benefit to her in the future.
Jiang Xixi thought for a while before nodding hesitantly.
"Then, Manager Wang, I wish us a pleasant cooperation!" Although Jiang Xixi appeared composed on the surface, she was actually overjoyed inside.
This is the Beijing Friendship Store!
With a 30% profit margin, she might be able to save up enough to buy several courtyard houses in a few years.
This was something she would never have dared to dream of in her previous life.
She was happy, but Manager Wang next to her was practically in tears.
It looks like my promotion and raise are going to fall through!
However, it's hard to say.
Manager Wang's eyes lit up, as if he had remembered something.
...
"Xixi, you're really bold. I didn't even dare to think about asking Friendship Store to give us a share of the profits."
After leaving the Friendship Store, Chen Yi couldn't help but give Jiang Xixi a thumbs up.
"I was just thinking of giving it a try, just in case. If it really works, we'll make a fortune!"
Jiang Xixi responded with a smile, and these words truly reflected her true feelings.
She really didn't expect that Manager Wang would agree.
Her initial expectation was 20%, but she didn't expect it to be 10% higher.
Having secured a big deal, the three of them walked down the street, their joy visibly palpable.
"Xixi"
Suddenly, a male voice called out to Jiang Xixi.
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Jiang Xixi slapped her chest.
She just said she forgot something.
"Xi Shuheng, I was just saying I was going to look for you, but I didn't expect to find you here."
Jiang Xixi immediately resorted to the tactic of the villain accusing the victim first.
When Xi Shuheng heard this, he almost laughed out of anger.
She kept looking for him, but walked right past him without even turning her head. Why didn't he believe her?
Xi Shuheng glanced at Jiang Xixi with a half-smile, then turned to greet Jiang's wife and Chen Yi.
"Aunt Jiang, Aunt Chen, it's been a long time. You are still so young and beautiful."
"Aunt? Auntie? Teacher's wife, Aunt Chen, do you know each other?"
At this moment, only Jiang Xixi was puzzled by the world that had been created.
I've never heard of any connection between the Liu family of Beijing and the Xi family of Rongcheng in my previous life!
