Fu Junyi couldn't help but look at her with even greater respect. She wanted to use his connections to expand the sales of the braised pork. A 50-50 profit split was not impossible.
He was framed by his half-brother before, and his father was furious and sent him back to his hometown to reflect on his mistakes. His business was taken over by his half-brother. Not long after returning to his hometown, he became sick due to anger, and his procrastination did not help. Recently, he was in a better mood and his illness was much better, so he was thinking of doing some business to pass the time. If he did well, he would be proud of it in the family.
He thought for a long time before nodding and saying, "Okay, then we'll split the bill 50-50 as you said. If we go to buy the goods, how much should we order?"
"Why not set the price at five cents a pound? If we can't afford it, let them take it to the butcher's shop and sell it at ten to fifteen cents. If they ask for a ridiculous price and we find out, they will have to pay us a thousand taels of silver."
"Well, will the compensation be more?"
"Not much, just to scare them and persuade them to follow the price we set."
"Well, that's great."
"That's perfect. I'm going to the butcher shop later to talk to the owner, Wang. Sir, do you have anyone who can draft a contract? You can accompany me."
"Fu Qiu, take Manager Sun with you. Since we have signed the contract, we need to take care of the government. I will send someone there later."
"Okay, then we'll go to the butcher shop first."
"good."
Shopkeeper Sun was an old man in his fifties. When he heard that there was business to be had, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly followed them.
When they arrived at the butcher shop, they saw the owner, Wang, sitting in a daze inside the shop. When he saw Lin Wanwan coming, he immediately stood up and walked forward with a smile.
"The girl is here, but she wants to take the pig into the water?"
"Don't worry, Uncle Wang, I came here today to discuss a business deal with you."
Wang Shuigen asked in surprise: "Oh? What kind of business is this?"
"It's the pig offal business. I wonder how many pig offal you can sell every day, Uncle Wang? Do you know any other big pig farmers?"
"To be honest, my family is the largest pig farmer in our county."
“That’s great!”
Lin Wanwan walked into the shop.
"Since Uncle Wang can provide the supply, I would like to buy it from you at the price of five cents per catty. I wonder how much Uncle Wang can offer?"
Wang Shuigen thought for a moment and said, "My family slaughters two pigs every day, and some people buy pigs and slaughter them in the village, and then sell a few pigs in the back street. We should have seven or eight pigs every day. My eldest brother's family also raises hundreds of pigs, so we can supply pork for the whole county. But no one eats this pig offal. Do you really want to buy it for five cents per catty?"
"Yes! I charge five cents per pound. In the first year, most of the pig offal will be provided to me. I wonder if Uncle Wang can do it?"
"Of course I can, but some people in the village raise their own pigs, and I can't get them."
"Which villages still raise a lot of pigs?"
"And my uncle from Dahe Village. Hehe, when my father was alive, he said that if you want to keep the price of pork stable, you have to negotiate with your family. Others won't bother to listen to you. So since our family started raising pigs, the price of pork has been about the same. At least everyone can afford it."
Lin Wanwan and Fu Qiu looked at each other, and when he nodded, he continued, "Uncle Wang, we want to do a long-term business. Although the offal will be given to me first within this year, I will sometimes keep a few pieces. You can sell them in the shop. The price is about the same as the big bones. Ten to fifteen cents is okay? Let's set the price now so that the price won't be chaotic in the future."
Wang Shuigen nodded, "Indeed, although not many people want this pig offal now, I think it will become popular after it passes through your hands. I will do this business with you!"
Lin Wanwan and the others all showed joyful smiles on their faces. Lin Wanwan continued, "Words are not enough. Uncle Wang, can you find a guarantor to sign the contract? After all, no one knows what will happen in the future. It would be better for both parties to have a contract. It would be best if you can invite your relatives to come and sign it together."
"Okay! Come with me to my house and sit for a while. I'll go find the adults next door to act as guarantors. As for my eldest brother and my uncle, I'll bring them here tomorrow."
He immediately closed and locked the shop, and led them home. After turning two streets, they stopped in front of a small house and knocked on the door.
Not long after, someone inside asked carefully: "Who is it?"
"Wife, I'm back, please open the door."
He turned around and said embarrassedly: "There have been burglaries around here recently. My wife just gave birth to a child, and I was worried about her being alone at home, so I asked her to lock the doors and windows."
Lin Wanwan nodded and said, "Uncle Wang, you are right. You should lock the doors and windows."
At this time, a pretty woman opened the door and welcomed them in.
The woman held the child and pulled him aside, and asked in a low voice: "Shui Gen, who are these people?"
Wang Shuigen picked out the key points and told her. His wife's eyes lit up and she thought this business was worth doing.
"Then I'll go find Liu Zhubu. He should be back by now."
"Okay, then you go and come back soon. I'll go make tea for those guests."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
