"Then would you mind telling me the price they gave you?" Lu Youxi said, "It's okay if it's inconvenient. My question is indeed a bit over the line."

"It's not a big deal." Shi Yusheng told Lu Youxi the price without hiding it. "Since you are in this business, you can find out. Our hotel is not the only one that uses Shilixiang. Most of the high-end hotels and restaurants in China use Shilixiang. It also charges the same price to supermarkets. It does a good job in price control."

It also avoids causing confusion in market purchase prices.

"Well, I also inquired about the price that Shilixiang gave to supermarkets." Lu Youxi said, "It's the same price as the one given to you, but you also told me that Shilixiang plans to increase the price a little. There are no competitors of the same level in the market now."

"But now that you and Xingmi are out, things are different." Shi Yusheng has also been enduring Shili Xiang for a long time.

Although their hotel does not make money from selling rice, Shili Xiang is determined to stick to its guns on price and refuses to budge even a bit. It also relies on the fact that it has no competitors and raises the price every year.

Now that He Xingmi has come out, Shi Yusheng has to help He Xingmi suppress Shilixiang's arrogance even if he doesn't want to fight for his reputation! Lu Youxi then told the supermarket about her offer, "I'll give you another 10% discount on my price, exclusive."

Shi Yusheng said in surprise: "Sister-in-law, if this is the case, other businesses will definitely know about it. You and Xingmi will definitely not only sell to supermarkets in the future, but also to other restaurants like Shilixiang. If others find out, they will probably come after you. And maybe someone will contact our hotel and buy directly from us."

Lu Youxi was not worried about this problem at all. In fact, this was just like the various agency distributions in later generations.

Lu Youxi said to Shi Yusheng, "I have talked to Zhenxin Supermarket, Jiahaowang Supermarket and Jiayuexing Supermarket today. Among them, Zhenxin Supermarket is the most likely to cooperate with us. Jiahaowang's attitude is a bit unclear, and it doesn't matter to them whether to cooperate with us or not. Jiayuexing Supermarket is very arrogant and requires us to make a big profit and lose money to enter their supermarket."

"So, I rejected Jiayuexing directly. As for Jiahaowang, it's up to them. I only told Zhenxin Supermarket that I would give the lowest price to the first batch of people who cooperated with me, and the price would not be the current price for those who came to discuss cooperation later."

"Now that you are the first one to come to me, I must give you the lowest price. Zhenxin Supermarket can only be the second batch." Lu Youxi said, "Besides, even if we don't consider this, based on our relationship, I can't lump you in with other merchants."

"It's like when you have the same quality as Xingmi and Shilixiang, but you choose Xingmi because of our relationship. I certainly can't treat you like any other merchant."

"As for what you're worried about, it's not a problem." Lu Youxi explained, "You can't let me suffer a loss, right? Even if someone comes to your hotel to buy my Hexing rice, you can't sell it."

"Based on your hotel's management and the quality of its employees, what do I have to worry about?" None of the employees of Dongshenglai Hotel can be bribed. Lu Youxi admires Shi Yusheng for this very much.

"But if you ask me, it doesn't matter even if you sell it. Even if you only increase the price by half, it's still pretty good to make money. You sell it to them and then buy from me, and I can still make money." Lu Youxi said.

"That won't do. I can't let you suffer any loss, right?" Shi Yusheng said quickly.

Lu Youxi smiled and said, "Under normal circumstances, the amount given to each company is fixed. Even if there is a surplus, it won't be so much that people will buy and sell it again."

Shi Yusheng thought about it and said, "Okay, thank you in advance. When are we going to sign the contract?"

"Anytime, it depends on your schedule." Lu Youxi was also happy. He didn't expect to close the first deal so quickly.

The next day, Lu Youxi went to Dongsheng with the village chief to sign the contract.

Before signing the contract, Shi Yusheng said, "Sister-in-law, I just remembered that if you give this price to our family, will it be unreasonable for other families? If others also ask for the same price from you, won't it be difficult for you?"

"Don't worry about this. I have a way to make sure they don't have any objections." Lu Youxi urged him, "Sign quickly. You don't have to worry about me."

"Okay..." Shi Yusheng thought to himself, his sister-in-law is really straightforward when it comes to doing business.

After signing the contract and just coming out of the gate of Dongshenglai, I received a call from Xiao Song, the assistant of Mr. Zhang of Zhenxin Supermarket.

"Hello, Mr. Lu. Our leaders held a meeting and decided to put your Hexing rice on the shelves. We also accept the price we discussed before." Xiao Song said, "When are you free? Let's discuss it in detail."

"Really? That's great." Lu Youxi said hurriedly, "I can do it anytime. Let Mr. Zhang see if he has a suitable time."

"If it's possible, how about this afternoon? If you feel that time is too tight and you have other plans, we can arrange it tomorrow." Xiao Song said politely, "The main thing is that Mr. Zhang wants to take advantage of the current popularity of Hexing rice and start selling it in supermarkets."

Last night, the Imperial Times also published news about Hexing Village. The article mainly talked about Lu Youxi's help and contribution to Hexing Village. It was inevitable to mention how he helped in detail, otherwise how to convince readers? In this way, Hexing rice had to be mentioned.

Judging from the user coverage of the Capital Times, the number of Internet users today is not as large as it will be in later generations.

The report of the Capital Times will also cover readers who have not seen the news about Hexingmi online.

Suddenly, more people came to ask about He Xingmi.

Mr. Zhang was actually waiting to see whether the Capital Times would publish a report last night and how people would react after the report was published.

When I went to work today, I asked the Zhenxin Supermarkets in various places to make reports.

Another emergency meeting was held to discuss the matter, and it was finally decided to strike while the iron was hot and put Hexingmi on the shelves.

They made this decision not only because of the rising popularity of Hexing rice in recent days, but also because they had tasted it themselves and knew the quality of Hexing rice, so they decided to give it a try.

"No problem this afternoon." Lu Youxi said immediately. He could tell that the other party was also very sincere and wanted to facilitate this cooperation as soon as possible.
