"Mr. Chen."
While observing, Chen Cixiu heard someone call from behind. He turned around and saw a portly man walking towards him.
"Mr. Chen is young and promising."
The middle-aged man extended his hand and shook hands with Chen Cixiu.
Chen Cixiu said, "I suppose you must be General Manager Qin. Hello, this is Li Bowen from our company, General Manager Li."
He dared not be arrogant; the other party could easily find another company to do it, and didn't necessarily have to choose their startup.
Although the other party envied his traffic, he understood that in an era where traffic is king, people can go to other people and don't necessarily have to rely on them.
They are the second party today.
Generally speaking, Party B is like the son, while Party A is like the father.
Only when they have completely established themselves can they become the client. Right now, for the sake of this money, they have to keep the other party in check no matter what.
"Mr. Chen, what do you think of my production environment? You came over right after you got off the plane, you really caught us off guard."
Mr. Qin is a shrewd man; he probably already knew Chen Cixiu's intentions before he even arrived.
Chen Cixiu smiled slightly and nodded, "President Qin, as you know, we are a startup company, so I'll be frank..."
President Qin raised his hand to stop him from continuing, "Since we're going to speak frankly, we need to find a different place. President Chen, let's go to the company, at least it'll be more formal."
"No, I think it would be better to talk about it at the factory. How about we find a meeting room?"
Chen Cixiu looked around and realized that he could sample the food right here in a while.
"Okay, Manager Wang, please make the arrangements."
"Okay, Mr. Qin."
Chen Cixiu and General Manager Qin followed Supervisor Wang to a conference room, which was very clean.
Mr. Qin sat opposite him, and there was a sense of negotiation between the two sides.
Chen Cixiu spoke first, "President Qin, let me reiterate what we just discussed. The main reason I came here this time is to address hygiene issues. I believe you are well aware of this. The hygiene and safety issues of food such as picking chicken feet with bare hands and stepping on sauerkraut that occurred a couple of years ago have been a huge blow to startups like ours. I apologize for coming here without prior notice."
"No, no, Mr. Chen, to be honest, when I saw you were a group of college students who had just graduated, I didn't plan to contact you at all. It was my son who said that the review you wrote was really good. Then he looked through the comments and found that one of his friends had also seen it, so he asked. Coincidentally, that friend of his was from your school. He said that you were starting a business and that your wife was the daughter of the Jiang Group, so I contacted you."
No wonder.
Chen Cixiu really thought that his review had suddenly attracted such a large number of customers.
So it's all thanks to President Jiang.
We need to go back and treat President Jiang to a good meal.
"However, I've changed my mind today."
Mr. Qin then changed the subject.
Li Bowen asked from the side, "President Qin, why did you change your mind?"
"Oh, Mr. Li, don't misunderstand. It's not that I'm not going to cooperate with you anymore. What I mean is that Mr. Chen came early today and made me change my mind. You're quite something, young man."
Chen Cixiu was a little embarrassed by the praise.
President Jiang has added another achievement to his list.
He didn't interrupt Mr. Qin, letting him continue, "Preliminary investigation is the foundation of a decision-maker, to avoid problems in future cooperation. I must say, although Mr. Chen is young, he is very experienced in doing things."
Although Chen Cixiu was secretly delighted, he didn't show it. "President Qin, you flatter me. I'm just a junior. I originally wanted to ask you why you chose us. Now I know, but..."
He paused for a moment, and President Qin looked at him, curious about what he would say next.
The fact that a young man was behaving so maturely in front of him made him feel as if he were facing someone of equal status.
Chen Cixiu said slowly, "I did hear about your company's pastries on the way here, and they are very famous locally. On the way, I was in a hurry, so I didn't buy any to try. It just so happens that we want to try the freshly produced, qualified pastries. If they don't meet our evaluation standards, we will not recommend them."
"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll want to eat it again after you try it."
It seems that President Qin had anticipated this and was already prepared.
Chen Cixiu and Li Bowen exchanged a glance. No wonder he was the boss; he had prepared everything so quickly. It was obviously prepared in advance.
They still have a lot to learn in this area.
"Mr. Qin, then we won't stand on ceremony."
Chen Cixiu picked it up and took a bite; a fragrant aroma spread in his mouth.
Li Bowen ate one, then took another.
It really is delicious.
Chen Cixiu slowly savored the pastry he was biting into, then took out his phone to record the moment.
"Our pastries come in twelve flavors, which are derived from the twelve two-hour periods of the day. What you just ate was only one of the flavors."
No wonder they brought twenty-four.
Chen Cixiu opened another one, broke off a piece, continued eating, and gave most of it to Li Bowen.
After tasting them, Chen Cixiu's mouth cramped a little, while Li Bowen ate twelve by himself.
This guy's heartbreak is still hurting him so much.
How are you feeling?
"Mr. Qin asked."
Chen Cixiu handed his phone to President Qin and asked with a smile, "I don't know if what I wrote is correct."
After reading it, President Qin clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Yes, that's right! President Chen, you could totally become a gourmet!"
"No, no, no, actually I did some research before coming, but the taste of the pastries really won me over. However, since our official meeting is tomorrow, let's call it a day for today, Mr. Qin. We'd like to explore the local area first, and then visit your company tomorrow, how about that?"
Mr. Qin immediately agreed.
They also arranged for someone to take them to the city center.
As Chen Cixiu was leaving, he asked President Qin if he could take the remaining ten pastries with him, and President Qin naturally agreed.
"Mr. Qin, what's going on? You're satisfied, why are you leaving?"
Manager Wang didn't understand.
"I thought he was just a fresh college graduate, but I didn't expect him to be so experienced. He went to the city to buy our pastries to try, just in case the ones we make here are better than the ones we sell here."
Mr. Qin said with a smile, his eyes full of admiration.
This young man is capable of great things.
"Old Chen, do you think we'll be able to close this deal?"
After getting off the bus and arriving in the city, Li Bowen finally spoke.
Chen Cixiu said, "If the pastries in the city are the same as what they give us, there shouldn't be any problem."
Li Bowen gave a thumbs up, "You're amazing, I didn't even think of that."
"You just need to make sure the contract doesn't have any loopholes."
Chen Cixiu said with a smile.
