Upon hearing this, Director Zhao couldn't help but look at the young girl in front of him with admiration.
"You want to go to the pork factory?" There was a bit of surprise in his tone, and he obviously underestimated Xu Qinghe's determination and courage.
Xu Qinghe nodded confidently, his tone sincere and firm. "The pork factory is just one of our options. Besides that, I also plan to contact other potential partners. After all, there will always be a market for fresh vegetables, nutritious bean sprouts, and our unique pea powder."
Her honesty and confidence made Director Zhao's mind work quickly.
He realized that if he lost this cooperation opportunity, whether it was taken away by the pork factory or other competitors, it would be a huge loss.
After weighing the pros and cons, he finally smiled with satisfaction.
"Hey, you're quite capable, girl. Well, let's not have you running around in this hot weather. The cooperation is settled. As for the price, let's discuss it according to the usual purchasing standards. Give me the specific price of bean sprouts and pea flour."
Hearing that the other party accepted the manufacturer's price as the basis, Xu Qinghe was secretly delighted and gave a quote: "Bean sprouts are 0.30 yuan per jin. Pea flour is more expensive due to the complicated production process, so it's 0.5 yuan per jin. If you need seasonings, then it's 0.80 yuan per jin."
Director Zhao was stunned at first, then his expression became complicated, a mixture of helplessness and amusement. "Your asking price is quite bold. The prices of bean sprouts and pea flour are reasonable. Why does adding a few seasonings increase the price so much?"
Director Zhao may not have thought that what Xu Qinghe gave was actually the cost price, and in the future the supply and marketing cooperative would naturally have to add its own profit margin when selling.
If the price is too high, whether consumers can accept it is indeed a question that needs to be considered.
Xu Qinghe's expression was calm, his eyes unwavering, and he spoke confidently, "You may not have fully grasped the value of this recipe, but every ingredient has been meticulously selected, and naturally comes at a considerable cost. Therefore, the price I'm offering is fair and reasonable. Furthermore, pea flour is renowned for its unique satiety. Even a meal at the most respectable state-owned restaurant would struggle to match its value for money, making it a popular choice in the market."
Between these words, she hides the secret weapon in her heart - her own secret fruit vinegar, whose unique flavor can bloom with unrepeatable beauty on the tip of the tongue. It is this uniqueness that gives her immense confidence and dares to make such a bold statement.
The balance in Director Zhao's heart swung between reason and doubt, but when he noticed Xu Qinghe's confident and calm expression, he couldn't help but wonder deep in his heart: Perhaps there really is some unknown trick behind this young girl.
If you miss a potential gold mine because of a moment of hesitation, it would undoubtedly be an unwise choice.
"Okay, I choose to trust you this time. Let's give it a try. But let me be frank. I have only one requirement for seasonal vegetables: they must be top quality. No lesser-looking items are allowed in. As for the soybean sprouts, they must be just like you showed me, white and plump, shaped like jade pillars. I won't accept those thin and slender ones."
Faced with Director Zhao's final concession, Xu Qinghe was secretly delighted, but on the surface he still maintained a calm expression.
"Director Zhao, please rest assured. It's our honor to work with you, and we won't slack off on quality control. Seasonal vegetables will be delivered fresh tomorrow morning, but bean sprouts and pea flour will take a little longer to prepare. You'll probably have to wait a few days. What do you think of this arrangement?"
Director Zhao's mouth twitched slightly. Now that things had come to this, there seemed to be no other choice but to agree.
"Then let's deal with it as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Xu Qinghe finally revealed a relieved smile, "Then it's decided, let's sign the contract now!"
Once the contract is finalized, all discussions and negotiations can be considered to have been truly implemented.
Director Zhao showed a hint of surprise at the girl from the countryside in front of him. He didn't expect that she had such a clear understanding of the legal significance of signing a contract. He couldn't help but look at her with admiration.
"Don't worry, would I do anything to harm you? This is not a joke."
"Xiao Zhang, please go get a copy of the cooperation agreement."
Following his order, Secretary Zhang from the office next door responded quickly and soon appeared in front of the two of them with the contract in hand.
The contract template is already prepared, and only the key blanks need to be filled in.
Xu Qinghe carefully reviewed every clause of the contract, and only after making sure that there were no traps that would be disadvantageous to him did he decisively sign his name.
Then, she took out the official seal that she had borrowed from the village chief in the morning from her handbag and solemnly stamped it on her signature.
This official seal is her important proof of being the representative of the entire village this time.
Director Zhao was increasingly impressed by her and said with a smile, "You, the village chief, really trust you so much that you even dare to entrust you with the official seal. Aren't you afraid that you will abuse your power?"
Xu Qinghe put away his copy of the contract and smiled brightly, "Trust is always built on mutual trust. Since the village chief trusts me so much, I will do my best to live up to his expectations. Director Zhao, I look forward to our cooperation going smoothly!"
After saying that, she took the initiative to extend her hand. Director Zhao also looked happy and happily shook hands with her.
"It's a pleasure working with you. I hope you can live up to my trust today."
"That's natural!"
Afterwards, Xu Qinghe began to methodically organize the ceramic jars she had brought, and displayed the vegetable samples that she had carefully selected from the village chief's garden that morning on Director Zhao's desk one by one. Then, she left with light steps.
Looking at the neatly arranged and brightly colored vegetables in the room, a smile appeared on Director Zhao's face.
This girl was indeed interesting, and he sincerely hoped that her actual performance would be as satisfactory as her words.
Feng Jie, who had been waiting outside for a long time, was so anxious that she didn't even bother to deal with customers who came to ask questions. She just casually pointed to the counter on the other side and answered them perfunctorily.
As soon as she saw Xu Qinghe walk out of the office, she couldn't wait to ask, "How's it going? Is it done?"
Just as she was about to say this, she remembered that her director never changed his mind easily. She thought that it was probably not a good thing, so before Xu Qinghe could reply, Sister Feng took the lead to comfort her: "It's okay, even if Director Zhao doesn't approve, I have other ways. We can send the vegetables to the city, and I will help you find a solution..."
At this point, her voice gradually became lower.
