Chapter 1316 Exclusive Sale? Impossible!
Ren Huai pondered for a moment, then looked up at Shu Yu and smiled, "Lord Lu, this matter is indeed a bit sudden. We need to consider it further, since there are some discrepancies between what we received from our master and the current situation. Can you give me some time?"
"Of course, no problem. I am very sincere in cooperating with Passion Fruit Shop."
Shu Yu stood up. "Then, Mr. Ren, please consider it first. We'll take our leave now?"
"Wait a minute." Ren Huai also stood up. "Although it may be a bit abrupt, we'd like to visit Mr. Lu Xiang's melon seed workshop tomorrow. I wonder if it's convenient?"
"Of course, I will come to take over as young master first thing tomorrow morning."
"Thank you for your trouble, Lord Lu Xiang," Ren Huai said to Steward Xu. "See Lord Lu Xiang off."
Manager Xu saw Shu Yu out of the teahouse, and only after watching the master and servant get into the carriage did he frown and go back.
Back in the private room, Manager Xu asked Ren Huai somewhat anxiously, "Young Master, do you think what Lord Lu said is true? Are we really only a couple of days apart?"
Ren Huai glanced at him. "Whether it's true or not, Lu Xiangjun has already said so much. Anyway, it's impossible for us to sell it exclusively."
Manager Xu sat down and took a sip of tea in a sullen voice. "So what do we do now?"
This business is not going to fail.
"Since we can't reach an agreement on these terms, we can only try to lower the price as much as possible. Tomorrow when we go to the workshop, we should cooperate more and try to find their shortcomings so that we can negotiate the price as low as possible."
Manager Xu nodded. "I understand."
Shu Yu and Ying Xi were also chatting in the carriage. Ying Xi was present and listened to the whole conversation.
She asked with some doubt, "Miss, what if they refuse to cooperate with us because we can't agree on the terms?"
Shu Yu leaned against the car door, peeling sunflower seeds with her head down. "No way. They've come all this way. If they ran away because of such a small obstacle, the passion fruit shop wouldn't have grown so big. Besides, if Xiang Weinan could get the news that the passion fruit shop had moved to Jiangyuan County, wouldn't the other shops in the capital know? It's just that the passion fruit shop is big and fast, so they're watching and waiting. Believe it or not, as soon as our cooperation with the Liao family falls apart, a second one will come knocking on our door."
Ying Xi nodded. "That makes sense."
"Besides, if they really had no interest, why would they ask to visit the workshop tomorrow? They just want to stall for time and take the opportunity to lower the price. These are common tactics; you'll understand once you see them more often."
Yingxi laughed. "Do they think Miss is new to business and doesn't know anything?"
"Yeah, they actually want me to sell all my goods to them." How is that possible?
Indeed, if the passion fruit shop consumed all the melon seeds, she would save herself the step of selling them, reducing a lot of trouble, and could just focus on production.
However, the initiative is now in the hands of the passion fruit shop.
Right now, only her workshop produces sunflower seeds, but that may not be the case in the future.
Once a year or two has passed and sunflower seeds are sold everywhere, she will no longer have an advantage. Passion fruit shops will definitely have to lower their prices, and if she doesn't agree, the cooperation between the two parties will collapse.
When that time comes, won't she still have to find a place to open a shop or find merchants to cooperate with?
But at that time, was there still a place for her Lu Ji melon seeds?
Exclusive sale? Impossible!!
