Jiang Xiaocai stepped forward and said sincerely, "Boss Wang, I heard you were in trouble, so I came to see you. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Boss Wang sighed, his face filled with helplessness and frustration. He said, "Oh, forget it. I've been ripped off this time. Now I can't sell any sugar at all, and my funding chain is broken. I really don't know what to do."
Jiang Xiaocai pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Boss Wang, how about this? My bun shop needs a lot of sugar every day, so I'll buy it from you from now on. As for the price, we'll just follow the market price."
Upon hearing this, Boss Wang's eyes lit up like a beacon of hope in the darkness. He excitedly stood up, tightly grasped Jiang Xiaocai's hand, and said with tears of gratitude, "Really? That's wonderful! Xiaocai, you are truly my savior!"
Jiang Xiaocai smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's just a small favor, Boss Wang. But you have to promise me that you will ensure the quality of the sugar. This is related to the reputation of my bun shop."
"Of course!" Boss Wang nodded quickly and said confidently, "Don't worry, Xiaocai, I will strictly control the quality and will definitely not let you down."
In this way, Jiang Xiaocai, with his kindness and wisdom, not only helped Boss Wang overcome his difficulties, but also established a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with him. Due to the high quality of the sugar provided by Boss Wang, Jiang Xiaocai's bun shop business flourished and achieved new highs in performance.
This incident quickly spread throughout the capital, with people praising Jiang Xiaocai for his gratitude and business acumen. His reputation grew even stronger, and he became a well-known young shopkeeper in the capital.
Some time later, Jiang Xiaocai received a letter from a large sugar merchant in Jiangnan. The sender expressed admiration for Jiang Xiaocai's business acumen and expressed hope for a partnership to develop new sugar products. Jiang Xiaocai glanced at the letter, his thoughts drifting back to his naive dream of "monopolizing the sugar industry." His lips curled up slightly, and he couldn't help but smile. While the dream of "monopolizing the sugar industry" was no longer his goal, this invitation from a Jiangnan sugar merchant was undoubtedly a recognition of his business achievements and a new starting point for his business journey.
After a brief thought, he wrote back: "I don't dare to think about monopoly, but cooperation is possible."
Jiang Xiaocai knows his business journey is still long and full of challenges, and he may encounter more difficulties and setbacks in the future. However, he is no longer afraid. He knows that as long as he remains down-to-earth and adheres to the principles of honesty and trustworthiness, no difficulty is insurmountable.
As night fell and the lights began to light up, Jiang Xiaocai, having finished his day's work, happily arrived at the Prime Minister's residence to pay his respects to his grandparents. Upon entering, he saw Su Jinli sitting in the study, leisurely reading a storybook, while Jiang Yan quietly ground ink nearby. A warm and tranquil atmosphere permeated the room.
"Grandma, Grandpa, I received a letter of cooperation from the Jiangnan sugar merchants." Jiang Xiaocai couldn't contain his inner excitement. He walked quickly to his grandparents and said with a smile.
Su Jinli put down the script in her hand, a pleased smile spread across her face, and she said, "Oh? Really? That's great, Xiaocai, you did a great job."
Jiang Yan also nodded in approval and said earnestly, "Very good, Xiaocai. But remember, the most important thing in cooperation is integrity. Only by treating each other with sincerity can we work together for a win-win situation."
"I know, Grandpa," Jiang Xiaocai said firmly. "Just like Grandma said, doing business is like eating candy. Not only do you have to savor the sweetness, but you also have to know how to share this sweetness with others."
Su Jinli and Jiang Yan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with pride and joy for their grandson. They smiled at each other. They knew that their once naive and impulsive grandson had finally grown up and was taking solid and steady steps on the road of business.
By the time Jiang Xiaocai left the prime minister's residence, the moon had quietly risen, casting a silvery glow and shrouding the earth in tranquility. He looked up at the sky, the bright moon like a lamp, illuminating his path. He couldn't help but recall his grandmother's words: "Turning grievances into honey." At that moment, he had a deeper understanding of this saying. Life is like a piece of candy, full of flavors, with both sweet joys and bitter setbacks. But if you savor it with your heart and face it with a positive and optimistic attitude, you will always find the sweetest taste in it.
Although his original dream of "monopolizing the sugar industry" didn't materialize, he built a uniquely sweet business through his hard work and wisdom. All of this achievement is inseparable from his wise, table-turning grandmother and his warm family who provide him with endless love and support. He knows the road ahead is long, but he will persevere with his family's love and expectations, striving to make his life sweeter than sugar.
