Manager Wu glanced at him with a half-smile and said nothing more.
Cheng Maixiang understood that Lin Jiayu was deliberately playing the role of the bad guy in the negotiation, so she had to play the good guy, otherwise the show would not go on.
"Manager Wu, you have taken the initiative to provide us with the convenience of the counter. The people of Shuangshui Village will be grateful to you. We country people are down-to-earth and don't want to go through so many twists and turns.
So, I'll give you the costs of the garment workshop. If you want us to make more money, we'll oblige. If you want the supply and marketing cooperative to make more profit, we'll be happy to do that, too. After all, we're in a cooperative relationship, and mutual benefit is the only way to go long-term."
After saying that, Cheng Maixiang took out a pen and paper from her bag and drew a neatly table, listing the cost items and the corresponding amounts one by one, and handed it to Manager Wu after finishing it.
Cheng Maixiang's quick and efficient actions won Manager Wu's favor. When she took the form, she was amazed again. The paper was clear and clean, and the handwriting was beautiful. What was even more rare was that the form was simple and intuitive. The information she wanted to know was clear at a glance, and she didn't need to ask any more questions.
Manager Wu's face was full of praise, and he nodded repeatedly, "Not bad, not bad, this report is well done."
After putting down the form, Manager Wu's face was obviously more smiling. He said to Cheng Maixiang sincerely, "Little girl, it's rare for you to be so honest. I like dealing with honest people. Since you are not hiding anything, I can't let the people of Shuangshui Village suffer for my niece's sake. So, the supply and marketing cooperative will take 18% and not use the cloth coupons. What do you think?"
Cheng Maixiang was overjoyed. Her original estimate was that the best would be 20%, but she didn't expect that she would agree with 18%. It was really great news.
"Manager Wu, can the garment factory buy cloth from you?" Lin Jiayu asked again while the iron was hot.
But this time, Manager Wu refused to budge. "If you really want to buy cloth here, it's not impossible. But if you buy cloth from legitimate channels, you have to pay with cloth coupons. There's really no other way."
This was within Lin Jiayu's expectations. He just asked a few questions and was not disappointed with the answer.
Cheng Maixiang took out a piece of white paper and wrote the contract stroke by stroke in two copies. Both parties signed and put their fingerprints on it. Manager Wu also stamped his seal separately, which was considered as signing the contract.
Seeing that the two sides had almost finished their discussion, Cheng Maixiang stood up and said goodbye to Manager Wu. Manager Wu smiled and patted her shoulder, whispering in her ear, "Little girl, you are too straightforward. Your partner is a smart man."
Manager Wu didn't want to ruin someone's good deed, so she just mentioned it briefly. Cheng Maixiang pretended to be grateful and kept smiling at her. Manager Wu shook his head helplessly.
When they reached the first floor, Ruan Peiling saw the two of them coming down and hurried over to hold Cheng Maixiang's hand, asking anxiously, "Maizi, did Manager Wu give you any trouble?"
Seeing her anxious face, as if she would rush upstairs to save people if she didn't come down, Cheng Maixiang immediately felt that she had really made a friend with a true character.
Cheng Maixiang smiled and shook her head, and told Manager Wu the whole agreement between them.
Ruan Peiling was surprised and happy. She held Cheng Maixiang's hand and kept congratulating her, but Ruan Peiwen's face showed a bit of loss.
Cheng Maixiang understood her thoughts, "Sister Peiwen, although I promised Manager Wu, I will still have what I promised you in the future."
Just as Ruan Peiling was about to refuse, Cheng Maixiang said solemnly, "If you still consider me a friend and still look up to me, don't say no, otherwise I will turn against you."
Ruan Peiling had no choice but to agree.
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Ruan Peiling said goodbye to the two reluctantly. If she hadn't been in a hurry for something, she really wanted to have a good meal with them.
Cheng Maixiang and Lin Jiayu were walking side by side on the street. Thinking about what Manager Wu reminded her today, they suddenly burst into laughter.
"Tell the truth. What did Manager Wu tell you? Confess and you'll be treated leniently. Resist and you'll be treated severely."
