"Old man, please give me a price." Shopkeeper Guo is a man with a long-term vision, and he has already thought of countless promotion methods in his mind.

The little granddaughter said that as long as the other party mentioned the price, it meant that the deal was 50% settled. The old man was much more determined and was more confident when he mentioned the price. He stretched out a finger and said calmly, "One tael of silver each, no bargaining."

"Are you joking, old man?" Although Manager Guo knew that the price should not be low, but at one tael of silver each, why not just go and rob it? He couldn't help but sigh that the old man was so arrogant when he offered such a price for an unknown thing: "Old man, this is not a sincere business talk."

The old man smiled and said, "Well, Manager Guo is right. We are here to go to the market today, and we are here to do this. After all, didn't we promise that if we find anything rare, we would come to Mingyue Pavilion to let you take a look? We are going to go to the county town for a stroll at noon, so we will talk about this later."

After saying that, he prepared to get up.

Shopkeeper Guo quickly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Look at you, old man, let's talk about business, isn't business supposed to be discussed?"

"Manager Guo, we won't bother you any more. This is the price. As for whether the deal can be made, you can consider it slowly. There's no rush, no rush." ​​The little granddaughter said that doing business is like fighting a war. The enemy is strong and I am weak. When I am strong, the enemy will be weak. Morale cannot be lost. If you can stick to the price, it means you have confidence in yourself.

A hint of hesitation flashed across the smiling face of Shopkeeper Guo. Since the master had taught the recipe to Gu Lao San, the price must have been disclosed. Looking at the old man's expression, it was clear that he was fully confident about the price and was not afraid of the consequences of the high price and the unsalable goods. He really couldn't make a decision for a while, after all, the price was a bit outrageous. After thinking for a while, he said, "Old man, can you give me some time to let me talk to the boss and then reply to you, what do you think?"

"Well, please do as you please, Manager Guo. There is a long way to go. This is not a one-time deal. There will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future." The old man said this tactfully, which was neither a rejection nor an agreement.

Shopkeeper Guo smiled bitterly. He understood what the old man meant. You can consider it, but the initiative is not in your hands. He looked at the exquisite basket on the table. There were probably about 20 preserved eggs in it. He took a bite and said, "Old man, how about this? I will keep this basket of preserved eggs for one or two taels of silver. I have to let the boss take a look first, right? As for you, don't go to the county town. I will give you a reply in three days, at the latest. How do you think?"

The old man was about to refuse, but his sleeve was tugged by his granddaughter's hand. He immediately said, "Okay, since Manager Guo has said so, and we are old friends, I will do as you said. Three days later, no matter whether it succeeds or not, you must send a message to the Gu family in Xiaoyuewan Village. Even if it doesn't work out, we can still be good friends even if our business fails. Don't you agree?"

Shopkeeper Guo kept saying yes, yes, yes, but he was secretly complaining in his heart, "What good friends are you talking about? Are they good friends who can be used to stab you in the back?" But the smile on his face deepened.

"Okay then. We won't disturb you from doing business. We'll go shopping first." The old man waved his hand, and his sons quickly stood up and followed him.

Let's not talk about how the group of gentlemen went to the market, let's just say that after sending the gentlemen away, Manager Guo casually gave some instructions and made some arrangements, and then hurried to the capital city to find his boss. The importance of this opportunity is known to all businessmen. He was more or less sure that his boss would take this chance, after all, his boss was known for his boldness.

The fact was just as Manager Guo had expected, or better than he thought. The boss not only readily ordered the Songhua eggs, but also gave them a higher evaluation, which made him feel that the boss had already made up his mind about the future sales of Songhua eggs. Manager Guo happily rushed back because the boss gave him full authority to handle the Songhua eggs and even rewarded him. As for being transferred to a higher level, he was unwilling to do so. As the saying goes, the emperor is far away, wouldn't it be nice for him to be free? It can be seen that Manager Guo is also an interesting person.

On the afternoon of the third day, Manager Guo's horse drove into Xiaoyuewan Village Road. After asking the villagers, the carriage stopped in front of the old house of the Gu family. In the yard, the old man was gathering the family members to select rice seeds. There were no screening machines, everything was done manually.

Seeing a group of people staring at a pile of rice, Guo was confused. What was going on? He couldn't help but guess, could the next rare thing come from rice?

When the old man saw the figure of Shopkeeper Guo, he also took a look at his face, and he was immediately relieved. It seemed that there was a chance. He invited Shopkeeper Guo to enter the hall, and waited for him to say more. Shopkeeper Guo went straight to the point: "Old man, the boss said that everything is up to you, but we have to sign a contract. Your preserved eggs are only for our boss."

The old man was very happy with this condition. His family said that it was good to be under a big tree to enjoy the shade. It would be the best if he could provide for one family. He was not afraid that they would take advantage of him. Anyway, his family had no trouble selling their products. If this family was not good, he could slowly find another one. As for the imitation products, it would take at least three to five years to imitate them. With the core technology in hand, I could control the world.

But the old man was very experienced. No matter how happy he was in his heart, he looked calm. "Your boss is straightforward, so I won't be shy. I can provide for your family, but there has to be a quantitative issue. If it's too much or too little, you have to give me an explanation."

"Of course. Although things are valuable because they are rare, we have at least a hundred customers in Mingyue Pavilion. The boss said that the first year's supply will be temporarily set at 100,000 pieces, with a monthly supply of about 8,000 pieces. Do you think it's feasible?" Although Manager Guo felt that the boss was very generous, as a loyal subordinate, he just had to do his job.

"Bang", Liu, who had just walked to the door with the tea, trembled and the whole tea tray fell to the ground. One hundred thousand a year, my God, she was about to faint, what should she do? Without bothering to apologize, Liu turned around and ran back to her room, closing the door tightly, she wanted to slow down.

The old man, whose heart was trembling with excitement, was calmed down by this voice. He glared at the door and comforted himself that it was only one tael of silver. What did his family say? Even if the sky fell in front of him, he would not change his face. It was only one tael of silver. What's the big deal? It's not like he had never seen it before. So he pretended to frown and think, and then said, "This thing cannot be made in three or two days. According to this supply, it will take two months to deliver it on time."

"That's no problem." Shopkeeper Guo took out the deed, in triplicate. The boss had anticipated these problems, so the starting date and quantity on the deed he asked him to bring were left blank.

After reading it carefully, the old man signed his name. It turned out that he was the owner of Mingyue Pavilion. He had also heard of this person, so he felt more assured.
