Chapter 281 Why don’t you go and rob it?
Lu Bayue nodded, her eyes full of desire. She wanted very badly to get rid of this threat and never give a bite of food to her cousin again.
Lu Bafang's heart tightened, and he suddenly felt that some advantage was slowly disappearing.
While picking fish bones for Lu Bayue, Su Nuan said, "Your Lu family won't change your decision all the time, right?"
Lu Bayue nodded, "Yes, although our Lu family is only the fifth of the eight major trading companies, we will never go back on our word."
Su Nuan nodded. "That's right. You've already achieved your goal and given him the corresponding rewards. Why do you still want to be threatened?"
"Trade is about exchange. Since the deal is already done, there's no further connection. Ignore him."
"If you think you can benefit from maintaining future business, then don't complain."
"Of course, you have to consider whether the potential benefits you'll gain in the future outweigh your repeated tolerance."
Lu Bayue's eyes widened at these words, and he even forgot to chew the meat in his mouth.
Not only August, but Lu Bafang's smile froze and a serious expression appeared on his face.
Because what Su Nuan said made a lot of sense. Isn't the purpose of business to gain profit? If there is no subsequent benefit, then this transaction is over and there is no need to maintain the relationship.
Lu Bayue suddenly stood up, rolled up his sleeves and shouted at Lu Bafang: "I'm going to fight you!"
Su Nuan quickly grabbed Lu Bayue and said, "Wait, listen to me."
Lu Bayue looked at Su Nuan blankly, "Sister, go ahead and tell me. I'll beat him up after you finish."
Su Nuan was a little surprised. Seeing Lu Bafang shrinking his neck, he seemed to be afraid of being beaten. Could it be that he couldn't beat Lu Bayue?
"You two not only have a business relationship, but also a kinship relationship, so let's forget about the past and just don't let him do that in the future."
Lu Bafang said unhappily, "I brought her out to see the world and taught her how to do business. This is also her benefit, right? Why can't I grab a bite to eat?"
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Let her decide. If she thinks it's worth it, she'll let you go. If she thinks it's not worth it, then she definitely won't let you go."
Lu Bafang looked at Lu Bayue, "Sister, what do you think?"
Lu Bayue looked at Su Nuan and asked, "How much is this barbecue?"
Su Nuan thought for a moment and said, "One tael of silver."
Lu Bafang immediately perked up after hearing that. He pulled out his wallet and said proudly, "I'll take care of it."
Su Nuan looked at the purse and saw that it contained only about a hundred taels of silver, so she said slowly, "One tael."
Lu Bafang was stunned, "What?"
Su Nuan added: "One tael of silver, one tael."
Lu Bafang's eyes widened with anger, "Why don't you go and rob?"
Su Nuan replied calmly: "Isn't this being snatched?"
Lu Bafang was so choked that he didn't know what to say.
It stands to reason that a businessman would have good eloquence, but at this moment Lu Bafang really couldn't find any words to retort.
Lu Bayue calmly grabbed the purse and poured out the silver inside. There was not a hundred taels, only forty or fifty taels.
"Hey...Brother, why are you so poor?"
Lu Bafang was speechless after being scolded by Su Nuan, and now he was disliked by the girl. He covered his heart and said with heartache: "I feel hurt here."
Su Nuan chuckled. The brother and sister had interesting tempers and she didn't hate them.
"Okay, okay, since we're meeting for the first time, I'll treat you to the stew."
Lu Bayue cheered and continued to eat heartily. She took the time to ask, "Sister Nuan, is this barbecue really one tael of silver?"
Su Nuan shook her head. "What's really expensive is the seasoning. One ounce can roast a whole sheep, so the roasted meat isn't that expensive."
Lu Bayue's eyes lit up, and she and Lu Bafang said in unison: "I want to buy seasoning."
Su Nuan looked at the two of them with a smile. Both of them had very good noses and they smelled the business opportunity so quickly.
Lu Bayue started rolling up his sleeves again, "You want to snatch it from me? I definitely won't let you this time."
Lu Bafang curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Who's competing with you? This is called competition, do you understand?"
Su Nuan watched the brother and sister bickering with a smile. She called Feixue over and said, "Go and bring Li Fengxing here."
Feixue shook her head unhappily. It had never been ridden by anyone other than Su Nuan.
Su Nuan smiled and took out a sack, "Use this."
Feixue then reluctantly grabbed the sack and flew away.
When Su Nuan looked at the brother and sister again, she found that they were both staring at her.
"What are you going to do?"
Lu Bayue asked enviously, "Is that bird for sale?"
Su Nuan quickly shook her head, "Not for sale."
Lu Bafang said proudly: "You name a price, I'll buy it."
Su Nuan replied helplessly, "It's not that I'm not tempted by money, it's just that I really can't sell it. It only listens to me. If you buy it back, you can only treat it as an ordinary bird and it won't generate any profit."
"Also, what if you try to ride it into the air and it throws you off?"
The heroic look on Lu Bafang's face faded, and he began to eat voraciously, making it clear that he would not take advantage of an opportunity.
Su Nuan looked at Lu Bayue, "Have you decided who will buy the seasoning?"
Lu Bafang curled his lips and said, "Give it to her. I think there are other business opportunities between us."
Su Nuan smiled with her eyes curved, and said, "There are two ways to cooperate on this seasoning. One is that you buy the finished product from me, and I pay you one ounce of silver for one ounce."
"One way is for me to sell you the formula, and then you go back and buy the ingredients and prepare them yourself."
Lu Bafang didn't say anything, but took a grilled fish and ate it slowly.
It seemed that this was Lu Bayue's first time doing business. She bit her lips and frowned.
Su Nuan was not in a hurry and gave her time to think about it.
After waiting for a full quarter of an hour, Lu Bayue asked, "Tell me about the pros and cons of these two methods."
Su Nuan nodded, "The first method is expensive, but the quality is guaranteed. It can be as fragrant as today's."
"The second method may seem like a high one-time expense, but the overall cost is lower. After all, this secret recipe can be passed down from generation to generation."
"But if you mix it yourself, the quality will vary, and you'll also run the risk of formula leaks."
Lu Bayue pursed her lips and said, "But the intervals between our trips to the sea are very long. Even if I buy a lot of goods, it won't be enough to sell."
Su Nuan nodded, "Have you ever thought about opening a restaurant?"
Lu Bayue suddenly understood what was going on. "Yes, I can open a restaurant. I can make a lot of money just from this barbecue."
Lu Bafang's face darkened, but Su Nuan saw grievance in his expression.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Did you open a restaurant? Why don't you give him the restaurant that's not doing well, as a share, and I'll give you some of the dividends at the end of the year."
Lu Bafang pondered.
Su Nuan was not in a hurry either. Doing business would never be so easy. Feasibility and benefits must be considered.
Just as Lu Bafang was thinking, Feixue came back and threw down the sack in its claws.
Ling Yun, who had remained silent, immediately flew over and grabbed the sack.
After he landed, Li Fengxing came out cursing.
"How dare you kidnap me, you bastard! I'm going to pluck your feathers and stew you."
