"Since I've invited all the managers here today, I'm certainly not joking with you!"
"This is a treaty I wrote a long time ago. If you all take a look at the contents, you'll know what I'm supposed to do!"
The servants brought the treaty over, and the shopkeepers rushed over to see what was written on it.
After they finished reading it all, they were extremely shocked. They never expected that Xu Yuehuai would have such an idea!
"Manager Xu, are you serious? Do you really want to cooperate with restaurants like ours in the capital?"
"You're not kidding us, are you? There's no such thing as a free lunch."
"That's right, Manager Xu, you're definitely playing us. How could you possibly share such a huge profit with us?"
"I don't believe it! You're definitely trying to scam us!"
Most of the shopkeepers simply didn't believe the contents of that contract.
Xu Yuehuai was not in a hurry, but slowly explained to them.
"Don't worry, everyone! The contents of these agreements are absolutely true. I genuinely want to cooperate with you all!"
“Every year I will provide some new dishes to your restaurant. These dishes will not be served at our Tianxianglou branch. You will only be able to taste them at your restaurant!”
Each restaurant has its own set of dishes, so even if Tianxianglou branches become popular throughout the four kingdoms, its growth will not affect the business of other nearby restaurants.
Those who enjoy all kinds of delicious food will surely visit other restaurants besides Tianxianglou branch to sample their unique dishes.
"What I want to do is for everyone to get rich together!"
“I didn’t mean to cheat you. I wanted to help everyone. We all make food and know how difficult it is. I didn’t want to take away your livelihood. I just wanted to broaden this path so that more people could continue on it and do better.”
Xu Yuehuai explained to them, and the shopkeepers nearby gradually began to believe him after hearing this.
"Manager Xu, are you telling the truth?"
"If that's really the case, I choose to cooperate with you!"
"Since you're going to collaborate, why don't you include me too!"
"We've eaten these dishes from Mingyue Kingdom thousands of times already. Now that you're here, it's a good opportunity for everyone to try something different!"
More and more shopkeepers, after hearing what Xu Yuehuai said, were willing to cooperate with her.
Xu Yuehuai observed the reactions of the shopkeepers, finding them all under her control.
She then watched as the shopkeepers signed the contracts one by one, while a few individual shopkeepers did not sign the contracts but simply watched from the sidelines.
Some onlookers, though still somewhat skeptical of Xu Yuehuai, saw so many others had already signed the treaty and, not wanting to suffer any harm themselves, figured signing it wouldn't cost them anything, so they quickly did as well.
There were still four people left who hadn't signed the contract. Xu Yuehuai didn't do anything about it, but said to them, "I won't force you. If you want to sign this contract again in the future, you can do so anytime."
She felt that when these restaurant owners returned, if other restaurants improved because of her recipes, those who hadn't signed contracts would definitely feel unhappy and have other bad thoughts. If they weren't allowed to sign contracts, they would definitely cause trouble.
Therefore, Xu Yuehuai had already thought everything through and made all the necessary arrangements, and was just waiting for the plan to be implemented.
The four shopkeepers nodded, and now they looked at Xu Yuehuai with even more respect.
They originally thought that Xu Yuehuai was only able to run Tianxianglou Restaurant so well because of some clever tricks, but they did not expect that it was all because of Xu Yuehuai's own hard work, which was something that others could not match.
"Now that everyone has signed the agreement, I will now distribute the detailed recipes to you!"
"Everyone's recipe is different. When you make a new dish, just follow the recipe. If it doesn't taste good or there's any difference, come find me. I'll teach you until you learn!"
Xu Yuehuai distributed all the recipes to the shopkeepers who had signed the contracts. Each shopkeeper received a different recipe, and they were all quite surprised as they looked at the recipes which carefully described how to choose the ingredients and the various preparation details.
They originally thought Xu Yuehuai would only teach them some basics, but they didn't expect that he would explain even the smallest things, like choosing vegetables, in such detail. He really wanted to teach them properly and lead them to prosperity.
They suddenly felt a pang of regret. Before coming here, they had been so despicable, thinking that Xu Yuehuai would do something bad to them. They never expected that Xu Yuehuai would be so magnanimous and even want to help everyone get rich.
In an instant, they were extremely grateful to Xu Yuehuai, clutching the recipes that had been given to them tightly, and then thanked Xu Yuehuai profusely.
"We never expected Manager Xu to be so kind and sincere towards us. We certainly won't let Manager Xu down!"
"Don't worry, we will definitely do as the treaty states!"
"You'll get 40% of the profits then, and we won't argue with that!"
They only need to pay 20% of the price for the dishes they make. When it comes to profit sharing, Xu Yuehuai takes 40% of the profits, while their restaurant will still have 40% left!
This is equivalent to everyone sharing the profits equally, which is not a bad thing, and all the shopkeepers can accept it.
After Xu Yuehuai had finished discussing everything with them, the shopkeepers took their leave.
Xu Yuehuai had been preparing for so long today that she was a little tired. She stretched and decided to go and rest first.
The employees of the nearby Tianxianglou branch watched Xu Yuehuai as he resolved such a major issue.
"Our manager is really amazing; he's managed to collaborate with so many top managers from the surrounding restaurants!"
Zhang Ting looked at Xu Yuehuai with great admiration. She never expected Xu Yuehuai to be so smart. She was really blind before, and even tried to go against her!
