The preliminaries were done, and now it was more natural to talk about cooperation.
However...
"Nianyang, girl, did you really cultivate all these dishes by yourself? Can the vegetables from your base always maintain this quality?"
Ruan Weidong was filled with apprehension, feeling a bit embarrassed, after all, Nianyang had saved him twice, yet he repeatedly doubted her.
Little did he know, Nianyang found this quite proper. After all, business is business, and it shouldn’t be mixed with personal feelings. Ruan Weidong is a businessman, and everything has to be in the company’s best interest, otherwise he wouldn’t have achieved his current success.
So Nianyang confidently said, "Of course, otherwise how could I promise to revive Uncle Ruan’s restaurant within a month?
Moreover, besides vegetables, our base also has a variety of fruits, ensuring quality that is unmatched in the market, and the price remains the same as market rates, no overcharging. Uncle Ruan, you can rest assured and cooperate with me!"
Ruan Weidong wiped his mouth, nodded cheerfully, and said, "No problem, since Nianyang is so confident, I also believe you won’t trick me. I’m willing to sign a long-term contract with you, all the vegetables and fruits for our restaurant will be sourced from you!"
He had a premonition that whether Phoenix Restaurant could make a comeback depended entirely on Nianyang’s fruit and vegetable base, so he definitely wouldn’t miss this opportunity!
"Uncle Ruan, since you’re so straightforward, let me speak frankly too. To be honest, our fruit and vegetable base is just getting started, and we have some financial difficulties. I hope you can pay the first year’s fees in full."
Ruan Weidong already felt guilty for having doubted Nianyang earlier, so upon hearing Nianyang’s request, he couldn’t refuse. He readily agreed and quickly went to the office next door to print out the contract.
After ensuring all the terms were correct, Ruan Weidong and Nianyang promptly signed and sealed the contract!
Seeing the contract, Ruan Weidong was filled with excitement, as if he could already see Phoenix Restaurant soaring to great heights again.
No, maybe even greater achievements are possible.
"Oh, by the way, Uncle Ruan, I will start school in a week, and I am only responsible for cultivating the fields. The head of the base is managed by my eldest uncle. When I get back, I’ll call your restaurant to leave contact information, and in the future, you can have your restaurant manager contact my eldest uncle directly for supplies."
"No problem, that’s a minor issue. My restaurant’s contact details are written in the contract. If there’s anything, just give us a call. I’ll make sure the transition is clear with the restaurant manager!
Also, here’s the year’s supply fee, calculated at market price, 100 kilos per month, 1200 kilos a year, totaling ten thousand yuan, please count it!"
Ruan Weidong said, taking out ten thousand yuan in cash from his briefcase and handing it to Nianyang. Luckily, he had the habit of carrying cash, or it would’ve been awkward!
Nianyang accepted it without counting, smiling gracefully, "Thank you, Uncle Ruan. Then let’s wish for a pleasant cooperation!"
With that, she extended a hand courteously to Ruan Weidong.
"Great! Pleasant cooperation!"
Ruan Weidong eagerly said, ready to shake Nianyang’s hand, but at that moment, Li Tingyan proactively reached out and shook his hand on Nianyang’s behalf.
Ruan Weidong, "..."
Nianyang, "..."
"I’m doing it on behalf of my wife as well."
Li Tingyan calmly withdrew his hand, not admitting it was because he didn’t want Nianyang to have physical contact with other men!
