Chapter 276: Chapter 276 Are You Not Satisfied? Chapter 276: Chapter 276 Are You Not Satisfied? “What’s the matter? The young lady doesn’t seem quite satisfied?”
Su Yunjin’s expression caught the manager Liu’s eye, and with a knowingly inquisitive tone, he chuckled deeply, “Could it be that the young lady thinks the price I just offered was too low?”
“Manager Liu, you’re a smart man, and I think you should be even clearer than I am about the profit this pig’s blood will bring to Fuman Building. With such a large profit, Manager Liu, you’re only giving me ten taels of silver, isn’t that a bit too unkind?” Su Yunjin retorted without directly answering. Her voice wasn’t loud, but she was neither humble nor arrogant, brave, and perceptive.
While admiring Su Yunjin’s boldness, Manager Liu said, “Young lady, the pig’s blood you mentioned can indeed bring a certain profit to our Fuman Building. However, this pig’s blood is not a rare commodity! Such things can be seen everywhere in the world. Now, I agree to give the young lady ten taels of silver, which means you’re not at a loss. What do you say?”
Ha! This crafty merchant clearly wanted to take advantage of her, yet he could state his reasons so righteously!
Su Yunjin sneered inwardly.
Yet her face gave nothing away. It’s true that pig’s blood isn’t valuable and can be found everywhere. However, fresh pig’s blood needs to be processed before it can be eaten.
Moreover, there is a particular art to cooking pig’s blood. Without knowing the proper method, it’s difficult to make it taste good. Even if Fuman Building knows that pig’s blood is edible, selling it to customers won’t bring in much profit if it doesn’t taste good.
Su Yunjin didn’t come to Fuman Building simply to sell pig’s blood. As Manager Liu said, pig’s blood is indeed a common sight and isn’t worth much. She couldn’t ask for a high price for it, nor could she make much profit from it. Su Yunjin’s main purpose was to sell the method of cooking pig’s blood and the skills to process fresh pig’s blood.
These two things were now her bargaining chips.
Using these two things to negotiate price with Manager Liu, even if he wanted to push the price down, it depends on whether she was willing. If Manager Liu’s offer was really too low, Su Yunjin wouldn’t mind discussing business with other restaurants. It wasn’t only Fuman Building that she could deal with.
Choose the best option!
Since Fuman Building’s manager was not generous and refused to offer a good price, deliberately suppressing the price, then she would try her luck with other restaurants. She didn’t believe she couldn’t find a single restaurant willing to pay!
“Young lady, as for this pig’s blood you mentioned, our restaurant can sell it. If other restaurants see it, they too can imitate the idea. By telling me that pig’s blood can be eaten, you’re essentially adding one more dish that our restaurant can sell. That won’t significantly increase our profits. I’m already giving face by offering you ten taels of silver!”
Regardless of what Su Yunjin was thinking, Manager Liu stood up, walked over to Su Yunjin, took out ten taels of silver from his pocket, and put it on the table beside her, intending to send Su Yunjin away.
“Here are ten taels of silver. Young lady, take it and leave. Of course, if you don’t fancy these ten taels of silver, you’re also free to leave them behind!”
Manager Liu’s attitude clearly showed he would not give Su Yunjin a single copper coin more. His meaning was obvious: here are ten taels of silver, Su Yunjin, take it if you want, or leave it and get nothing.
“Manager Liu, do you think that just because I told you that pig’s blood can be eaten, you can treat me ungratefully and dismiss me with a bit of silver?”
Su Yunjin hit the nail on the head, causing Manager Liu’s face to show a hint of embarrassment.
