"It's like this, we don't dislike your food, but I have something to recommend to you!" Zhao Jianguo sorted out his thoughts and explained to the visitor.
"Mr. Zhao, right? Let's sit down and talk slowly. My last name is Lu, Lu Xiaojuan." The foreman introduced himself and asked everyone to sit down very politely. He did not deliberately ask what the purpose of Zhao Jianguo's family was.
"No rush. I have some things here. Brother Ge, please take them and deal with them. How about we talk while eating?" Zhao Jianguo casually took out a small bag, which contained the vegetables that Zhao Hanyun had just stuffed in, the amount for one dish. Fortunately, Yan Jinlan had brought a bag with her.
"That's great. Just wait, it will be quick!" Ge Xinrong took it and quickly slipped out the door, as if he was afraid that Zhao Jianguo would regret it.
"I'm sorry, our chef has just this temper. He's a very nice guy!" Lu Xiaojuan said apologetically. Although she was very curious about Ge Xinrong's attitude, as the host, she couldn't lose her home ground.
"I understand. There's no rush, Foreman Lu. Let's sit down and wait!" said Zhao Jianguo.
Zhao Hanyun lowered his head and played with the little ball in his pocket, letting the little ball observe everything.
Just when Zhao Jianguo and his wife had used up all the excuses they could with Lu Xiaojuan, Ge Xinrong finally cooked the dish, but the quantity was obviously less than what he was given.
It was a simple stir-fried vegetable dish, and it looked a bit plain on the table, but Ge Xinrong's expression was full of excitement. Zhao Jianguo pointed at the dish and said, "Captain Lu, try it!"
Lu Xiaojuan picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. She was surprised by the taste. It turned out that this was what Zhao Jianguo wanted to talk to her about. "Well, please wait a moment. I can't make the decision!"
Lu Xiaojuan went out, but soon came back with a man in his early thirties. The man had casually messy hair, but he looked very energetic and handsome. He wore a dark blue suit that was tight-fitting without a single wrinkle. White socks could be seen through his black leather shoes. It was obvious that he was a man of great taste and status.
Zhao Hanyun lamented that there are many handsome men in this era, unlike those in later times, who have all been modified and there are very few original ones. Of course, Zhao Hanyun is just appreciating them. Fortunately, she is still young and will not cause others to be disgusted.
"Mr. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, I'm the manager of this hotel. My last name is Zhang, and my given name is Xun. I understand what's going on. How about letting me try some of your food first?"
"Sure, please feel free to do as you please. This is your home ground." Zhao Jianguo was not in a hurry. He would know how good his own food was only after he had eaten it.
Zhang Xun casually picked up the clean chopsticks beside him, picked up a piece of vegetables, put it into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it. He completed a series of actions quickly and said directly, "I want your vegetables! Do you have them now? I want 100 kilograms a day! Give me a price!" He was very straightforward.
Zhao Jianguo was surprised by the man's straightforwardness, but he didn't lose his composure. He had already made preparations for success, but he was just missing a process. "We can't provide 100 kilograms a day! Mr. Zhang, you should know that scarcity makes things valuable! As for the price, what do you think is a good price?"
"Our hotel purchases a lot every day! Although your dishes are very good, not many people know about them. You need our hotel to promote them. As for the price, I think 18 yuan per catty of these vegetables is okay. We can discuss other varieties." Zhang Xun frowned slightly. This family really doesn't know how to do business. They don't even know how to raise the price when they have the bargaining chips in their hands. Little did he know that this was Zhao Jianguo's first time negotiating a business deal with someone, and it was good enough that he could remain calm.
Zhao Jianguo turned to look at his two women, but actually at his daughter. Zhao Hanyun shook her head slightly, stretched out five little fingers and waved them, then nodded. Zhao Hanyun meant that she only wanted 50 kilograms per day, and as long as the price was satisfactory, everything else was fine.
"We can supply a maximum of 50 kilograms a day. Now I have at least ten kinds of vegetables. I won't quote you a random price. Each kind is 18 yuan per kilogram. We will have different varieties every month, but we can only provide you with one year. Of course, please rest assured that we will only sell to one hotel this year." Zhao Jianguo didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his plan. He said it very happily, but he couldn't help but feel nervous, for fear that others would be unhappy and detain their family.
"Okay, no problem. As long as you can guarantee our supply this year, I will show you our hotel's sincerity! So, I will pay a deposit of 20,000 first, which will be regarded as the payment for tomorrow's goods, and the extra money will be regarded as my sincerity. Believe me, our cooperation will be more pleasant next year. Sister Lu, have someone send the money and the contract over immediately. Let's do this deal!" Zhang Xun knew that he had picked up a great bargain. Such a good vegetable, 18 per catty is not expensive. If he were to sell it, it would definitely be worth more than 100, or even more!
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, you are a straightforward person, so I wish us a happy cooperation!" Zhao Jianguo agreed. He made money too quickly, but it would be more hard work for Little Ball. He would go and see if there were any good things to buy for it later. He heard that Pixiu likes valuable things.
Ge Xinrong, who had been silent for a long time, could no longer hold back. "Brother Zhao, you must deliver the goods to us. Your food is really great. Thank you in advance..." Before he could finish his words, he caught a glimpse of the big boss's eyes and hurriedly stopped, "You guys chat first. I have something to do in the kitchen. I'll be leaving now! Brother often brings his sister-in-law and niece to play!"
Not long after, Lu Xiaojuan came over with a contract and a bulging envelope. Zhao Jianguo signed it after checking that there was no problem. He took the envelope handed to him by Zhang Xun and gave it to Yan Jinlan.
"Mr. Zhao, this is the VIP card of our hotel. From now on, as long as you spend money here, we will only charge you the cost. This is a personal gift from me, and I hope you will accept it!" Zhang Xun then took out a golden card from his pocket and handed it over.
"I feel embarrassed. Mr. Zhang has already paid more than double the deposit. This card..." Zhao Jianguo wanted to refuse it, but he couldn't resist Zhang Xun's persuasion and had to accept it.
After a lot of trouble, Zhao Hanyun and his family were able to leave the hotel. They were only able to get away after Ge Xinrong repeatedly asked them to promise to deliver the goods to him the next morning. Instead of going back to the warehouse, the three of them went straight to a shady small park to sit down.
"Girl, keep this money. When you see something you like, buy it!" Yan Jinlan saw that there was no one around, so she gave the 20,000 yuan she had just received to Zhao Hanyun and asked her to go shopping.
"Mom, I'm still young. I don't need so much money. There are many places to spend money at home. It's not too late to give it to me when you earn more. Just leave it with me today to keep it safe!" Zhao Hanyun put the money into the space. The family is just starting out now, and it will be better in the future!
