Chapter 79 Keeping the Promise
It was the fish balls that Jenna had promised. She had just left a message for Josh two days ago, so it was a good opportunity to send them to her today.
Azure secret realm, Azure secret realm, Qiao Xi was holding the little golden macaque, looking for the entrance to the Azure secret realm.
There were so many secret places that Josh had to ask several people before he found it.
There are very few pedestrians passing through this area, basically they are soldiers from the expeditionary corps and some students for training. It seems that "scavengers" are not allowed to enter and leave here at will.
Although no one stopped Josh from walking in, he still felt a little out of place.
After waiting for a while, Jenna came. She was pleasantly surprised and said, "Boss Qiao Xi, you are really on time. I was really afraid that you would stand me up. After all, I missed these fish balls for a long time."
Jenna was dressed like a student, and Josh looked at her curiously: "I remember you told me last time that you have a one-week secret trial every month. Why are you dressed like this for the trial? It's not easy to stretch and your body may get hurt."
"There is another mission today that I have to complete before I can enter the secret trial." Since it involved privacy, Jenna did not explain it clearly.
Qiao Xi just asked casually and didn't mean to get to the bottom of the matter.
After the payment and delivery were settled, Qiao Xi took out the dried fish fillets he had just packed. Although they could not be sold, they could still be eaten as a snack.
This is just right for Jenna to thank her for taking care of her fish ball business. The relationship with customers must also be maintained.
Declining Jenna's farewell, Josh walked slowly towards the stall with the golden macaque.
Mr. Stowe was waiting in front of the stall, observing the small stall.
Josh walked over quickly: “Mr. Stowe has been waiting for a long time.”
"No, I just got here too. Miss Qiao Xi's stall is very innovative and the taste is particularly unique."
“Oh, maybe it’s because I’m younger and more creative, and the taste of my hometown is more distinctive compared to here,” Josh laughed.
"Haha." Sto didn't continue the topic, as it would only make him bored. He just wanted to test whether this Josh was a lackey of some big farmer.
It doesn't look like it at first glance.
"Young boss, to show my sincerity, I can take you to visit my factory. I guarantee that you will never look down on any other factory after you go there. There won't be any place in the whole Chaoyang City that does better than mine." Sto boasted about his processing plant and spoke without any ambiguity.
But Qiao Xi would not be provoked by it. What is is what it is. She would know whether it is true or false after she saw it.
After a brief conversation, Josh agreed with him to visit his factory later.
But "Mr. Stowe, you run a canning factory, don't you? Why did you change your career?"
Sto's smile brightened. "Haven't we recently purchased a lot of 90% new machinery and equipment? We are preparing to expand the scale of production."
"Oh, 90% new?" Qiao Xi thought, could it be...
"This is because the flame lava of old Tam's family ran out of energy and turned into a useless piece of rotten stone. The equipment didn't have enough energy to operate the factory, so I took advantage of the leak, hehe."
Sto was indeed very proud. He had gotten such good equipment at a very low price. He couldn't wait to let go and do a great job to prove his strength to the outside world.
That is the factory the little birds were talking about. It seems that the news is still behind the times. The production lines have been sold, but the little birds are still immersed in the sadness of the closure of the food processing plant, and the news is far behind others.
"Then I must go and have a good look."
"Come on, let's go and see it now."
Mr. Stowe led the way, and Josh and the big-tailed yak followed behind him. The little golden-silk macaque was sleepy, so he curled up on the big-tailed yak and began to catch up on his sleep.
When we arrived at the factory, the gate was too small and the big-tailed yak couldn't get in, so we had to let it wait at the door.
Josh followed Sto in for a tour alone, and sure enough, he was not lying. In addition to a canning production line that was in operation, Josh saw a new production line that had been installed next to it.
The equipment was all very new, with few signs of use. I heard that they were newly replaced equipment, but I didn't expect that something bad would happen to the house-elf.
"How about it, do you have any ideas about cooperating with Miss Joshi?"
To be honest, Josh didn't really have any special ideas.
The preparation of fish balls is complicated, but after being simplified in the factory, a lot of manpower can be saved and the cost will be greatly reduced, making it suitable for mass production.
Of course the taste is definitely not as good as before.
Seeing that Josh was a little hesitant, he didn't speak immediately.
Sto smiled and said, "How about listening to mine?"
"Okay, tell me about it." Josh listened attentively.
"You invest in the company with your technology and will be fully responsible for the quality and taste of the fish balls. I can give you a bonus of 20% of the sales.
But we can’t continue to sell fish balls to the outside world…” He didn’t finish his words.
Already interrupted by Josh: “Impossible.”
It was difficult to accumulate these old customers. Whether she sells fish balls or other things in the future, she will have a mass base and she can't give up on her own.
Another thing is that she doesn't have the time to be responsible for following up the production of fish balls throughout the entire process, which is unrealistic.
"Then young boss, please tell me what you think." Sto was not annoyed. He looked at Josh leisurely. He could say whatever he thought. Wasn't he in the discussion stage now?
Bargaining is the way to do business. If Josh doesn't want to cooperate, he can just turn around and leave. He is a qualified businessman and he understands these unspoken rules.
After organizing his words, Qiao Xi said seriously, "First of all, I have no objection to the 20% technical investment, but I can't be responsible for the quality of the fish balls throughout the process. The farm is so big, I won't spend too much of my limited energy on fish balls, but if there are any problems with product quality, I can come over and help solve them together."
Sto pondered for a moment, "Okay, that makes sense."
"Secondly, the quantity of fish balls I sell is small, only once every ten days or half a month. If you produce them on a large scale in the future, these fish balls will only be a drop in the bucket and will not affect your large-scale production."
"Fish balls are the most important attraction of my stall. I will not stop selling fish balls. Of course, I can raise the price of fish balls and only sell special fish balls. As for the cheap and delicious ordinary fish balls, I can stop selling them."
This is not because Josh is compromising, but fish balls made from ordinary small fish are cheap and require a lot of energy. It is not cost-effective for individuals to make them, not to mention that Josh now has a fixed large income every week. It is not worth it to spend a lot of time making these 31 bowls of fish balls.
Hearing that Josh was willing to back down, Mr. Stowe smiled a little. This is how you do business.
My dears, I was typing on the bed last night and I fell down while typing. If there are any loopholes that I haven’t seen, please tell me!
