Chapter 232 Dividing the Money
Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dazhuang also looked at Bai Lu with suspicion. The three of them were together because Bai Lu had made the decision, and Xiao Cheng had agreed.
Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu have a tacit understanding, but they don't.
Bai Lu didn't keep anyone in suspense and explained directly: "Three people are just right. One goes around selling, and the other two become competitors to prevent one company from dominating the market, maliciously raising prices, disrupting market rules, and interfering with chestnut purchase prices."
Wang Hao and his two companions were astonished by Bai Lu's far-sightedness, seeing a hundred steps ahead with just one step, and subconsciously turned their heads.
Seeing Xiao Cheng's calm and composed expression, they suddenly realized a very tragic guess.
Is it because the older brother is always silent that they are too stupid to understand anything he says and always have to ask questions?
No!
This is just a guess!
The three brothers decided to ignore their eldest brother's look of disbelief; they knew nothing and saw nothing.
Go home, tidy up, and get ready to make big money.
The noisy sounds stopped, and the main house suddenly became quiet, with two people separated by a table.
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Lu looked at Xiao Cheng, who was calmly drinking tea across from her, paused for a second, and then decisively asked, "Are you really not selling electric chestnut roasting machines?"
Xiao Cheng's face instantly turned cold, his calm, deep eyes suddenly churning with turmoil, layers of dark clouds gathering, his knuckles gripping the teacup turning white, as if a cracking sound could be heard.
Bai Lu quickly explained, "It's not about selling an electric stir-fry machine for home use, it's about selling the method, like roasting chestnuts with sugar."
Xiao Cheng's expression remained cold: "Not for sale."
Bai Lu didn't believe that someone as smart as Xiao Cheng could miss the huge business opportunity right in front of him.
If you don't understand what she means, you might need to add a bombshell: "We've already started teaching how to make roasted chestnuts, and more business owners will be selling chestnuts in the future. Instead of selling the method for making electric chestnut roasting machines, you could make some electric roasting machines and sell them. There will definitely be many business owners who will buy them."
"You can make a lot of money." Bai Lu deliberately used "a lot of money" to indicate that she really could make a lot of money.
The electric chestnut roasting machine was invented by Xiao Cheng. He can set the price as he pleases and make as much profit as he wants. It's a sure-fire way to make money.
There's absolutely no need to hesitate!
Xiao Cheng didn't hesitate. After listening to Bai Lu's words, he directly refused: "Not for sale."
Bai Lu felt a chill run down her spine under Xiao Cheng's gaze. That rare, fleeting look of hurt made it seem as if she had committed some heinous crime and betrayed him.
She didn't do anything.
I didn't say I wanted to sell my electric stir-fry machine. I really don't understand what he's thinking.
"Now everyone who sells roasted chestnuts knows that we have an electric chestnut roasting machine. Even if no one has seen it, someone must have already started to think about and study it."
"Although others aren't as smart as you and won't be able to figure it out as quickly, that day will come eventually. When new electric chestnut stir-fry machines appear on the market, it will be difficult for you to sell them for a good price. Now is the best time. Nobody knows how to make an electric chestnut stir-fry machine except you. This is an exclusive business..."
Bai Lu earnestly advised the big boss to make his fortune on the spot, talking until her throat was dry and she drank two large glasses of water.
The big boss still said the same thing: "Not for sale."
Bai Lu nearly spat out her tea and coughed several times. Luckily, the big boss took pity on her and patted her back to help her catch her breath, preventing her from choking to death.
Although... well, she really gave up.
"Why won't you sell?" Bai Lu was really curious, so curious that she almost gritted her teeth and stared at Xiao Cheng.
Although I'm gritting my teeth now, I'm not grinding them, and I can barely maintain a smile with my face flushed from coughing.
Xiao Cheng withdrew his gaze from her face and took back the hand that had been patting her back: "I don't want to sell."
Bai Lu: "..."
I'm so annoyed!
But you still have to keep smiling!
Because this time, the big shot's answer wasn't just "I won't sell," but also included the word "want"!
"Then why don't you want to sell?" Bai Lu decided to abandon her image of being a busybody and get to the bottom of things.
"You have an appliance store. You can make an electric chestnut roasting machine and sell it in the store. You can make quick money and boost the business of the store. Isn't that great?"
Xiao Cheng gave Bai Lu a deep look, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes: "You think it's good?"
This question stumped Bai Lu. She felt something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on it. After a moment of silence, she didn't answer but asked softly, "Do you think it's bad?"
Xiao Cheng: "Not good."
Bai Lu had nothing to say.
Forget it, this question is too profound, no, too simple. The expert doesn't want to answer it.
Let's ask again when the child arrives.
The most important thing right now is cooking... no!
It's about dividing the money!
The teaching of roasted chestnuts has begun. The tuition fees for the first batch of boys' and girls' classes have been paid, and Xiao Zhenwei's tuition fees for the second batch have also been paid. He can now share the profits with the big boss.
Maybe the big shot will change his mind when he sees the money!
Bai Lu ran excitedly back to her room, opened the drawer, took out her notebook and money, and ran back excitedly.
"We made money!"
Looking at the girl's excited face, Xiao Cheng's gloom was dispelled by the word "we".
Bai Lu sat down in front of Xiao Cheng, opened the notebook and the money, and counted it out carefully, saying, "This is the tuition fee for the boys' class and the girls' class last time, a total of 27,000 yuan. This is Xiao Zhenwei's tuition fee of 8,000 yuan. The total is 35,000 yuan."
"What we said before was that we would teach Luo Shiliu and the others how to make roasted chestnuts. They would go to teach and charge us, and we would give them a commission. After the commission was calculated, we would split the money 50/50. But plans don't always go as expected. We taught Aunt Wu and Uncle Fugui first, and we will split the first batch of tuition fees. You get 17,500 yuan."
"I have 17,500 yuan." Bai Lu handed the counted money to Xiao Cheng.
However, Xiao Cheng not only pushed it back, but also said, "Two-eighths."
Bai Lu looked up abruptly, wondering if she had misheard: "What did you say?"
"Two-eighths," Xiao Cheng repeated calmly.
Bai Lu's face immediately fell: "How could you do this? Although you swindled... cough, you earned that eight thousand yuan from Xiao Zhenwei, I also taught. Besides, the boys' class and the girls' class were my previous sales channels, and we taught them together. Why can't I get half?"
Does the big shot always get the lion's share?
That's so unfair!
Looking at the girl's face, which had lost its smile, and her hand that was holding Qian Yiyi's hand with reluctance, Xiao Cheng smiled and said softly, "We can split it."
Bai Lu's eyes lit up, and she immediately pushed the money back to Xiao Cheng, her face instantly flashing a sweet smile: "I knew you were joking! We already agreed to split it 50/50, how could it change? It should be 50/50!"
"Two-eighths," Xiao Cheng said again.
Bai Lu: "!!!"
"Isn't this a bad idea?"
Xiao Cheng glanced at the money offered to him and gently pushed it back: "Two-eighths, isn't that better than fifty-fifty?"
Bai Lu shook her head vigorously, making it look like a rattle drum: "No good."
