"Old Shao, you probably haven't eaten the roast suckling pig made by your Yun Mo, right? It's so golden and shiny, with crispy skin and fragrant meat, paired with coriander, lettuce leaves, and dipped in pepper and salt powder and sweet and sour sauce. It tastes absolutely amazing.

There is also a secret seafood rice, crab roe and crab paste mixed with rice. Oh, I can’t say more, my mouth is watering. "

Shao Lin gritted his teeth and helped, feeling as sour as if a century-old jar of pickled cabbage had been overturned.

Not only had he never eaten any food cooked by his daughter, he didn't even know that his daughter could cook, and that she was such a good cook.

"Isn't it almost Mid-Autumn Festival? I signed an order for 20,000 Mid-Autumn gift boxes with your Yun Mo. There are five types of gift boxes, namely, Family Harmony Brings Good Fortune, Flowers and Full Moon, Beautiful Scenery, Full Moon, and Family Joy.

These are the themes of the gift boxes designed by your Yunmo. I picked up ready-made ones and used them directly to name the gift boxes, which saved me a lot of effort.

When the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, I will send you one of each of the five gift boxes so that you can appreciate the creativity of your Yunmo, haha."

Looking at Xie Linan's face that was smiling like a flower, Shao Lin felt displeased the more he looked at it.

"Li Nan, from what you said, Ronghua's performance this year should be much better than in previous years?"

Xie Linan said, "It's OK. Thanks to the snowflake crisps, the price has increased slightly."

"Since the benefits are so good, we have to renegotiate our cooperation this year."

Xie Linan was a little excited, "Okay, then I'll take some time to go to the capital, and we can sit down and talk slowly?"

"There's no need to postpone it to another day. Let's do it today. This year, all purchase orders from Shaw and Ronghua will have their prices reduced by 5% compared to previous years. I'll have my assistant draft the contract when I get back, and you can just send the person in charge to sign it."

“…”

Xie Linan was a little dumbfounded. He thought Shao Lin wanted to talk to him about next year's order.

"No, Lao Shao, the price of this year's orders has already been set and the contract has been signed. How can you change it just like that?"

"Shaw Brothers is not doing well this year, but Ronghua is making a lot of money. I'm jealous. We've been classmates for decades. Please give in and make less money so that I can feel more balanced. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I will continue to cooperate with Ronghua next year."

“…”

Threats and outright blackmail.

Xie Linan has been in the business world for decades, but his thinking is still flexible and smooth enough.

"Okay, Lao Shao, your family is big and powerful, how could you be short of a small sum of 1.8 million? How about this, I promise to cooperate with your Yunmo bamboo weaving factory every year for no less than 50,000 orders, is that okay?"

Shao Lin thought for a moment, "The unit price is 5% higher than the market price?"

"……OK!"

"Someday you can find time to sign a cooperation agreement with Momo, with a term of 20 years."

Xie Linan gritted his teeth and said, "Then our cooperation next year..."

Shao Lin took a sip of tea before speaking calmly, "Let's lower it by 2%."

Xie Linan opened his eyes slightly, "Why is it still lowering? Lao Shao, you must know that the prices of flour, vegetable oil and sugar have been going up all the time. Let alone a price reduction, even if we maintain the original price next year, Ronghua will lose money. We have been friends for decades, and you have the heart to let me lose everything?"

"Ronghua is a wealthy family, so why should they be afraid of losing this little money? If they develop more popular products like Snow Flakes, won't they be able to make it back?"

Xie Linan finally understood that Shao Lin was trying to make amends for his daughter.

"Mr. Shao, the profit-sharing agreement for Snow Flakes cannot be changed, otherwise I won't be able to explain to the board of directors. However, for subsequent cooperation on other products, the profit-sharing will be increased by 5%. What do you think?"

Shao Lin glanced at him with a half-smile, "Do you think I'm missing something from you?"

Xie Linan choked, "What about the 8%?"

"Li Nan, is this the price of your sincerity? How dare you say that."

Xie Linan was a little anxious. "Old Shao, the original agreement between us and your Yun Mo was 10%. Later, when we signed the agreement, I gave an additional 5%. Adding 8%, it's 23%. We can't increase it any more. The board of directors won't approve it if we increase it any more."

Xie Linan: “…”

After some bargaining, the two finally decided that the profit sharing rate between Yunmo and Ronghua for future product cooperation would be 40%.

I can't drink any more tea. If I drink more, it won't be a reminisce but a grudge.

"It's getting late, Lao Shao, let's stop here for today. I'll treat you to dinner another day."

"Next time you come to the capital, we'll meet again."

The two men smiled and shook hands to say goodbye, and when they turned around, each of them had a gloomy face.

Lao Shao is such a cunning old fox and has such a black heart!

You dare to make me unhappy, and you still want to be happy? Dream on.

After taking a shower, Ling Chuan returned to the room and found that his wife was not sleeping, but sitting in front of the dressing mirror, looking at something.

"Lingchuan, does it look good?"

Hearing Ling Chuan coming in, Yun Mo turned around, revealing a rose-shaped diamond pendant the size of a longan on her chest.

Although the light in the room was not bright, it did not diminish the brilliance of the diamonds in the slightest.

"nice."

Ling Chuan praised sincerely, "Is this a gift from Dad?"

"No, it was given to me by Sister Xia."

Yun Mo raised her hand to take off the necklace, holding it in her palm and looking at it carefully.

The rose pendant is made with exquisite craftsmanship. The edges of each petal are inlaid with fine sand-like diamonds, and the center of the flower core is inlaid with a round diamond of about 1 carat.

Round diamonds are of very high quality, with top-notch color, clarity and cut.

"Wife, is this necklace expensive?"

With Lingchuan's experience and vision, he had no idea what diamonds were like. He was simply shocked by their luxury and elegance.

"It's okay, but the gift I gave Sister Xia wasn't bad either, just a little worse than this."

Ling Chuan nodded, not quite understanding, "Wife, if you like jewelry like this, I will buy it for you when I make money in the future."

Yun Mo handed the necklace in her hand to the other party.

"This is called diamond, also known as corundum, and it is the hardest gem in the world. There is a saying that a diamond is forever, which means that it is extremely hard and can be preserved for a long time, and can be passed down from generation to generation..."

It was already 12 o'clock when Xie Linan got home. His wife Luo Xuelan had already gone to bed, but he still got into her bed regardless.

"Wife, I was bullied by Shao, please comfort me..."

Luo Xuelan was woken up from her sleep. It would be strange if she could be in a good mood. "Get lost."

"Wife, Lao Shao is a swindler. I just showed off his Yun Mo's cooking skills, but he actually took advantage of me. He wanted me to sign 50,000 orders with the bamboo weaving factory every year, and he also wanted us to increase the profit sharing with Yun Mo to 40%, otherwise he would not cooperate with us next year..."
