Tang Yukuan was stunned, so he patted the table in surprise, stood up quickly and shouted, “You guys are here so soon? I thought you would have to go around for another hour to get here.”
Zu Qi: ” …”
He suddenly remembered that when he and Heng Jingchen came to find him, Tang Yukuan had waited for them for a long time before showing up. Was he deliberately teasing them…
Thinking of this, Zu Qi’s face suddenly turned ugly.
The three men standing at the door remained motionless. Their suspicious eyes glanced at Zu Qi sitting in front, and then settled on Tang Yukuan, who looked like a second-rate man after putting on sunglasses.
After a moment of silence, the three men turned around and started to leave with a tacit understanding.
“Hey?” Tang Yukuan didn’t expect that they would react like this. So he took off his sunglasses, walked over in three steps and grabbed the leading man’s arm, “Why are you running?”
Tang Yukuan was so excited that he unconsciously raised his voice when speaking. Coupled with his tall stature, he looked full of ruthlessness, which really shocked the three people.
The fat man whose arm was caught immediately shrank his shoulders and said, “Brother, please forgive me!”
Tang Yukuan looked confused: “???”
The fat man thought he was trying to get rich by killing him. Seeing Tang Yukuan hesitate, he hurriedly begged for mercy: “You can ask for as much money as you want, but in today’s civilized society, you will go to jail if you hit someone or kill someone!”
The other two tall and thin men were already so frightened that they wanted to quit and run hundred meters away. Their backs were pressed against the wall, trying to keep as far away from Tang Yukuan as possible. The two of them nodded in agreement like chickens pecking rice: “Yes, yes, yes, our boss has a lot of money. You can make money, but you can’t kill people. It’s against the law. It harms others but does not benefit oneself. You must think twice before doing so!”
Tang Yukuan was confused after listening to their words, and then he heard Zu Qi burst into laughter behind him, it was then that he slowly realized what was going on, and suddenly became very angry.
“Boss Wang, what are you doing? Don’t you even recognize me?” Tang Yukuan pointed a finger at himself, his eyes widening in disbelief, as if he had been wronged and insulted, “I am Xiao Tang, if you don’t know, can’t you even recognize my voice or my appearance?”
After a long silence.
The frightened Boss Wang finally recovered. He looked at Tang Yukuan carefully for a while. It was not until Tang Yukuan let him go, and he turned around, picked up his cell phone and dialed his number again that he realized that he had misunderstood…
Boss Wang twitched his lips stiffly, and then let out a series of extremely embarrassing laughs: “So you are Xiao Tang, hahahahaha… You really can’t tell a person’s face, hahahahaha…”
The two men behind also felt embarrassed. The atmosphere was tense, so they also started laughing: “Hahahahaha…”
Tang Yukuan: “…”
God damn, you can’t tell a person by appearance.
Did they think he looked like a robber?
Although Tang Yukuan was simmering with anger, he knew that it was not the fault of Boss Wang and others. Even Zu Qi and Heng Jingchen would sometimes misunderstand that his expressionless face was a sign of anger. In the final analysis, they could only blame him. What the hell made him look like this…
After soothing himself, Tang Yukuan finally felt better.
Later, Boss Wang awkwardly explained that when they went to negotiate a contract before, they had indeed encountered the underworld extorting money, so this episode was completely over just like this.
Although Boss Wang was timid, had a sly look and did not look like a big boss at all, however the supermarket chain he founded from scratch had more than 50 branches in the country.
All the goods sold in the supermarket were sourced by Boss Wang personally, including the fruit section, which also had fruit suppliers that he had been cooperating with for years.
As early as when the website was first established, Boss Wang had used a channel to contact Tang Yukuan, but he had no plans to change fruit suppliers at that time. He always believed that Internet celebrity fruits would become popular and disappear quickly, so it was better to sell traditional fruits.
Unfortunately, the fruit supplier he had cooperated with for four or five years had a problem last week, and the quality of the fruits he provided was not up to par. In desperation, Boss Wang had to go out and find another channel.
However, after much searching, he failed to find a suitable supplier for apples. Boss Wang complained a little while having dinner with his friends. After his friends reminded him and set up a call, he decided to give Tang Yukuan a try.
Tang Yukuan naturally welcomed Boss Wang’s arrival very much. After pouring them three glasses of boiled water, he introduced Zu Qi and said, “This is my partner and the big boss of this orchard, Zu Qi.”
“Mr. Zu, nice to meet you.” Boss Wang quickly shook hands with Zu Qi and said politely, “I like your movies very much.”
“Hello, Boss Wang.” Zu Qi said politely.
After the introduction, Tang Yukuan returned to the desk, took out a copy of the form from the drawer, which was the price list he had prepared after discussing with Zu Qi, and handed it to Boss Wang.
“Look, our conditions are all above.”
Boss Wang took the photo and looked at it. As he looked at it, the smile on his face became a bit unbearable. Later he was even more shocked and said: “The purchase price of a pound of apples is fifty yuan? It’s too expensive!”
“Boss Wang, you must have browsed our official website before contacting me, right? On the official website, our apples are sold by quantity, and each one is fifty dollars.” Tang Yukuan said calmly.
Boss Wang bargained: “You also said that they are sold individually on the official website, and I will buy a few hundred kilograms. Can the two be compared?”
Hearing this, Tang Yukuan waved his hand: “It’s the same for us. Now the popularity and publicity of the official website are in place. As long as we run the website wholeheartedly, we won’t have to worry about making money. The reason why we use offline channels is just to save time on packaging and shipping, and the price difference we give you in return is what we save on time and cost.”
Boss Wang thought for a long time and still felt that the price was too expensive. After tasting the taste of apples, he decided to negotiate with Tang Yukuan.
But as a businessman, his intuition told him that this kind of Internet celebrity Apple was indeed profitable, but it could also fly high and fall hard. If one day it suddenly became outdated, then he would lose a lot of money.
“Let me think about it again.” Boss Wang put down the photocopy, rubbed his hands hesitantly, looked up at Tang Yukuan and said, “I’ll give you a reply within 24 hours, okay?”
“Okay.” Tang Yukuan waved his hand in a very free and easy manner.
Zu Qi had never done business and had no experience in negotiating with others. So, he sat quietly next to him during the whole process. At this time, he was a little surprised to see Tang Yukuan’s reaction.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yukuan would just let Boss Wang and others go!
He thought that when Boss Wang said the price was too expensive, Tang Yukuan would make concessions and lower the price slightly. As a result, Tang Yukuan was so calm that he didn’t even raise an eyebrow.
Zu Qi originally planned to ask Tang Yukuan what his plans were after Boss Wang left, but he didn’t know that before Boss Wang could reach the door, he saw two tall and thick men walking in from outside.
One of them knocked on the door and asked, “Is this Boss Tang’s office?”
“Boss Chen? Hello, hello!” Tang Yukuan got up enthusiastically and walked over, shook hands with the two men, and under the confused gazes of Boss Wang and others, he chatted with them for a while.
When Tang Yukuan was about to invite people to the office, Boss Wang took the opportunity and asked: “Xiao Tang, this is…”
“Oh, this is Boss Chen, specializing in boutique supermarket business. He came to talk to me about purchasing goods just like you.” Tang Yukuan raised his lips and smiled, but there was an air of cunningness in that smile.
Boss Wang quickly understood Tang Yukuan’s intention and was so angry that his whole chubby face turned blue and white.
How dare Tang Yukuan call two people to discuss business at the same time?!
This is too much! How can anyone fool people like this in the business world? He didn’t take him into his heart at all!
Just out of anger, when he saw Boss Chen and Tang Yukuan chatting animatedly, Boss Wang, who had gritted his teeth, shamelessly sat back.
Immediately afterwards, Boss Wang discovered that Tang Yukuan was more shameless than he thought. He actually called not only him and Boss Chen, but also the people who arrived one after another, there were seven buyers in total.
And Boss Wang knew most of the people here…
“Since everyone is already sitting here, I won’t beat around the bush.” Tang Yukuan sent a copy of the form to everyone present, and Boss Wang naturally got it again, “Since the opening of our official website, many people have called us every day to ask about the purchase. You are the partners I have selected to cooperate with you. Now I will directly put the conditions and prices here. If you can accept it, we will cooperate. I won’t force it if you can’t accept it.”
After saying that, Tang Yukuan took Zu Qi and left the office, leaving space for them.
Half an hour later, Tang Yukuan and Zu Qi returned to the office and received answers from everyone.
Boss Wang and Boss Chen who arrived first and two other bosses specializing in fruit business chose to cooperate with Tang Yukuan and Zu Qi. The other four bosses said they would think about it again, which was a polite way of giving up.
Tang Yukuan did not force them and immediately signed contracts with the four bosses who chose to cooperate.
However, these four bosses did not dare to take too many risks and only planned to purchase 500 kilograms of apples in the first three months.
After sending all the visitors away, it was already six o’clock in the evening.
Tang Yukuan, who made his first business as quickly as possible, was in a very happy mood and enthusiastically invited Zu Qi to stay for dinner, but Zu Qi rejected him mercilessly.
Before leaving, Tang Yukuan slumped on the sofa, holding a cigarette in his mouth, staring at Zu Qi sadly, and said quietly as if singing: “You are only thinking about that person in your family, and you don’t care about me at all. The feeling, hey, domestic flowers are still more fragrant than wild flowers like mine~”
Zu Qi: “…”
After pressing down Tang Yukuan and giving him a squeeze, Zu Qi decided to leave.
