"Aren't you afraid of making the wrong bet?" Zhu Hongtao asked.
"The essence of doing business inherently involves an element of gambling."
Wang Qian said, "If we make a wrong bet, we'll just consider it an investment loss."
"I admire and am very grateful for Mr. Wang's character, but..."
Zhu Hongtao then changed the subject, saying, "However, Mr. Wang, if you treat everyone like this, you might suffer a great loss in the future."
I know what you're trying to say.
Wang Qian smiled and said, "To do business, you have to be meticulous. Being too generous is a fatal flaw in the business world."
"Since you understand this principle, why do you still...?"
"I just believe you!"
Before Zhu Hongtao could finish speaking, Wang Qian interrupted him, saying, "I don't know why, but when I first met you, I felt a strange sense of familiarity, so I'm willing to trust you."
"this……"
Zhu Hongtao was speechless.
Why would I feel close to him for no reason and be willing to trust him? What kind of illogical logic is that?
However, regardless of whether Wang Qian was telling the truth or not, he was genuinely touched that Wang Qian was willing to sign a contract with him without requiring a deposit.
"By the way, why don't you ask me what the wholesale price is per bottle?" Wang Qian changed the subject.
"As long as it's not too outrageous, I can accept it."
Zhu Hongtao smiled slyly, "After all, when I promote your products, I have to add to the wholesale price. If your wholesale price is lower, I will sell less; if your wholesale price is higher, I can sell more when I promote them. Otherwise, I can't make a profit."
"That's true!" Wang Qian nodded in deep agreement.
"So how much are you going to pay me per bottle?" Zhu Hongtao pressed.
Wang Qian hesitated for a moment before saying, "Three yuan and fifty cents a bottle!"
"Three yuan and fifty cents?"
Zhu Hongtao calculated carefully for a moment before saying, "Make it a little less, otherwise when I sell it, the unit price will exceed the selling price in your store, which is not good for the market."
"Then how much do you think is appropriate?" Wang Qian asked.
He just quoted 3.5 yuan, which is actually an inflated price.
After all, it's a wholesale price. The final selling price is usually at least twice as much as the ex-factory price, and sometimes even ten or a hundred times more.
He deliberately set the car so high just to gain more control of the situation early on.
When it comes to business, it's all about bargaining.
If he had started with a fair price, he could have even lowered it to 50 cents a bottle. If he could have mass-produced it, he could have made a profit.
"How about this, lower the price by one yuan, to two yuan fifty a bottle."
Zhu Hongtao said, "I've calculated it for you. Your cost price definitely won't exceed one yuan. If it's two yuan and fifty cents a bottle, you can still make a net profit of one yuan and fifty cents. That's already a very high profit."
"Brother Tao, you don't know this, but my roasted green pepper sauce is a secret recipe. The process is complicated and the requirements are very strict, so the cost is quite high..."
In order to raise the price as much as possible, Wang Qian racked his brains and came up with a lot of excuses, such as the high production costs and the fact that it was not cheap.
After some haggling, the two finally agreed on a wholesale price.
Three yuan a bottle!
In addition to the wholesale price, many other details were also agreed upon.
For example, if Zhu Hongtao wants to evolve, he needs to find a vehicle to pick it up from Xieyang Village, and he will have to bear all the expenses thereafter.
Of course, if monthly sales exceed 10,000 bottles, the wholesale price can be reduced to 2.96 yuan per bottle.
All these details must be written into the contract; there can be no errors or omissions.
Once the agreement was reached, the contract was drafted, and signatures and fingerprints were affixed; the process was finally complete.
"Take care, Brother Tao! Wishing you booming business and all the best!"
Before leaving, Wang Qian offered his blessing.
“Mr. Wang, if you need me to promote any products in the future, feel free to contact me anytime. I handle all kinds of products,” Zhu Hongtao added.
"good!"
Wang Qian nodded. "I'll contact you if I need anything in the future!"
After seeing Zhu Hongtao off, Wang Qian's eyes were filled with anticipation.
He believed in Zhu Hongtao's business acumen and abilities, but the final outcome remained to be seen.
After all, he had been reborn, and because he possessed the memories of his previous life, many things changed because of his different decisions.
In his previous life, Zhu Hongtao would indeed have risen to the top three of the national rich list more than a decade later.
but,
In the previous life, there was no such product as Niangui roasted green pepper sauce.
If his connection with Zhu Hongtao alters the latter's life trajectory, the latter might be excluded from the list of China's richest people.
If you make the wrong choice, you might end up living a mediocre life with nothing to show for it.
In his second life, his only advantage was the ability to predict general trends in advance.
However, he can change the trajectory of each person's destiny through intervention.
For example, Liu Yanran and the Liu family behind her.
In the previous life, the Liu family's wealth and influence steadily increased because of the emergence of Liu Yanran, a talented businesswoman.
More than a decade later, the Liu family's business quickly expanded from Nanming County to all parts of the country.
Liu Jingxian, the head of the Liu family, even ranked among the top 20 richest people in the country.
However, with his intervention in this life, it's hard to say whether the Liu family can follow the original trajectory to reach the pinnacle of business.
...
The Liu family residence.
"Dad, this is the result of my negotiations with Wang Qian. I didn't dare to make a decision on my own, so I wanted to come back and ask for your advice first!"
After recounting her meeting with Wu Yanping and her private negotiation with Wang Qian today, Liu Yanran said indignantly, "That Wang Qian is cunning and treacherous. I'm afraid this is a trap. What do you think, Dad?"
