I was a daigou in the 60s

Today’s shopping malls are usually very well laid out, with the fourth floor often being a food paradise.

Hot pot, snacks and other delicious foods are available.

Many customers come specifically to find their favorite store and enjoy a delicious meal.

After dinner, people often stroll to the third floor to buy fashionable clothes.

Then head to the second floor to explore the latest cosmetics.

This series of consumption behaviors effectively boosted the economic vitality of the entire shopping mall.

However, if the food area lacks distinctive signs.

Then even if the environment is good, it will be difficult to attract people.

Over time, the entire shopping mall will become deserted and will eventually be doomed to bankruptcy.

Therefore, every successful shopping mall will carefully create its own distinctive brand.

To ensure that it is attractive enough.

For example, Liangzi stinky tofu has won the love of many diners with its unique flavor.

By noon, several pots of freshly baked stinky tofu had been sold out.

At this time, Zhang Hong walked out of the crowd.

He walked straight towards Xiao Dongqing, wanting to reach an acquisition agreement with him.

"Xiao Dongqing, we both understand each other's thoughts, so why not just speak frankly?"

"Name a price and I'm willing to take over your stinky tofu business."

Zhang Hong handed over a cigarette and spoke straight to the point.

Liang Zheng watched all this nervously from the side.

"No! No matter how much money you offer, I won't sell it!"

Xiao Dongqing answered concisely and firmly.

Continue to focus on frying the stinky tofu in the pan.

He was not moved at all by Zhang Hong's proposal.

Zhang Hong's face turned ashen with anger, as an experienced businessman.

He had never encountered such a direct rejection.

"Xiao Dongqing, don't go too far!"

"This is your last chance. Think carefully. Should you sell it or not?"

He asked with a frown.

"This stinky tofu is my family's livelihood. How will we live after we sell it?"

Xiao Dongqing explained, although his tone was calm, his attitude was firm.

"That's why I let you set the price! As long as you get a satisfactory price."

“Even if I don’t work for a few years, I don’t have to worry about my livelihood.

And with that money, you can try other businesses and still make money.”

Zhang Hong said somewhat helplessly.

For Zhang Hong, building a successful large shopping mall is his current important goal.

The unique flavor of Liangzi stinky tofu was exactly one of the highlights he needed.

He knows that only by creating the most attractive shopping experience can we achieve this.

Only in this way can we be invincible in the competition, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain.

Success is often accompanied by countless sacrifices, and this statement is by no means empty talk.

Xiao Dongqing remained silent, while Zhang Hong directly put forward the conditions.

"Twenty thousand yuan, fixed price."

"As long as you agree, you can get the money now."

Although the sound was not loud, it was like thunder and everyone around heard it.

The tourists stared at Zhang Hong with wide eyes in disbelief.

Someone is willing to pay 20,000 for a small stinky tofu stall?

This sounds incredible.

Liang Zheng was also shocked. He stared at Xiao Dongqing.

I want to read a hint of hesitation in the other person's expression.

However, Xiao Dongqing just sneered and shook his head firmly.

"I reject."

"why?"

Zhang Hong was surprised.

In the eyes of most people, 20,000 yuan is not a small amount of money.

It's enough to change a person's life.

But Xiao Dongqing seems to have bigger plans.

Xiao Dongqing smiled mysteriously and motioned Zhang Hong to come closer.

Zhang Hong hesitated for a moment, but finally put his ear close to it.

Xiao Dongqing whispered his plan.

"Mr. Zhang, since my stinky tofu is so popular."

“I saw a bigger business opportunity.”

“I want to build a large shopping mall that sells more than just food.”

“It also needs to include clothing and daily necessities, bringing together various resources.”

After hearing this, Zhang Hong's body began to tremble involuntarily.

Cold sweat oozed from his forehead and soaked his back.

How could this seemingly ordinary vendor have such advanced business thinking?

"Where do you get these ideas from?"

Zhang Hong asked nervously, wanting to deny these ideas.

"Every business has risks. What you said is nothing but wishful thinking!"

Xiao Dongqing laughed secretly in his heart.

Zhang Hong's behavior at this moment seemed too childish.

He was almost making his uneasiness known.

And Xiao Dongqing knew very well that this was exactly the kind of experience.

Let Zhang Hong become a shrewd businessman in the future and stand on the opposite side of himself.

However, that is in the future;

And now, Xiao Dongqing has clear goals and vision.

He will not be easily moved by the temptation in front of him.

Xiao Dongqing never intended to make Zhang Hong his follower.

He knew Zhang Hong very well, a self-absorbed and ungrateful person.

Just like a white-eyed wolf, no matter how well you feed it, it is difficult to change its nature.

Xiao Dongqing felt uneasy about keeping such a person around;

But if I let him go directly, I'm worried that he might become a threat in the future.

So, Xiao Dongqing decided to deal with it with a strategy.

He deliberately revealed Zhang Hong's business plan in an attempt to confuse Zhang Hong's mind.

He knew that once people fell into anxiety and panic.

It is easy to lose your mind and make wrong judgments.

And this is the effect he wants.

Xiao Dongqing smiled and picked up a piece of stinky tofu and handed it to Zhang Hong, saying easily.

"Mr. Zhang, you're right. I'm a bit of a paper tiger."

“These ideas sound good, but they’re hard to implement.”

"I'm still an ordinary person and don't want to take too much risk."

Zhang Hong quickly agreed.

"Yeah, that's right, let's give up on this idea."

"But I have a new idea that can help you make a lot of money."

"Do you want to hear it?"

Xiao Dongqing proposed a new plan.

"What's the idea? Tell me quickly."

Zhang Hong asked curiously.

"Liangzi stinky tofu is now all made by hand, which is very inefficient."

“I want to introduce a mechanized production line.”

"We also imported some advanced soymilk machines and established efficient production workshops."

"In this way, production can be significantly increased."

"And I'll sell these stinky tofu exclusively to you through a contract. How about that?"

Zhang Hong's eyes lit up immediately.

"Mr. Xiao, you are really capable! This is a great idea."

While eating stinky tofu, Zhang Hong's attitude towards Xiao Dongqing completely changed.

Originally, he thought Xiao Dongqing was just an ordinary person.

I didn't expect him to come up with such a smart way of cooperation.

The bundled cooperation agreement means that the two parties will advance and retreat together.

Xiao Dongqing needs Zhang Hong's financial support to start the project.

Zhang Hong relies on Xiao Dongqing's production technology to make profits.

If the cooperation breaks down, both parties will suffer.

So no one will easily destroy this relationship.

Zhang Hong felt happy as long as Xiao Dongqing no longer had any other improper thoughts.

He is willing to support the project.
