Chapter 260 What I want is a cooperative relationship.
After listening to Wei Ruo’s words, the smile on Fan Chengxu’s face became even stronger: “I always like to see the price of goods and the price of people. No matter which aspect, as long as Mr. Xu can help If I increase the production, quality and profit of my tea, I am willing to pay Mr. Xu a corresponding proportion of his contribution." "
So the cooperation proposed by Boss Fan is to let me make suggestions for Boss Fan, and then Boss Fan will pay him according to the profit. What is my corresponding reward?" Wei Ruo asked.
"That's right."
"Then forgive me for not agreeing."
"Why?" Fan Chengxu looked at Wei Ruo with doubts in his eyes.
Xu Heyou is a man who loves money, so there is no reason for him to refuse such a good opportunity to make money.
"Rather than getting paid for doing things for Boss Fan, I prefer to do business with Boss Fan. It is an equal cooperation relationship rather than an employment relationship." Wei Ruodao.
The smile on Fan Chengxu's face faded, and his eyes became a bit more stern: "Master Xu's appetite seems a bit big, Master Xu, do you think you can be on an equal footing with me with your current strength?" Wei Ruo did not lie to him, still smiling
. : "If Boss Fan feels that my proposal is not suitable, you can hire someone else. I don't mind."
Fan Chengxu looked at Wei Ruo's expression and admired her calm and calm expression.
After a while, Fan Chengxu's cold face returned to a smile: "You are very bold, but I don't like to follow the rules step by step. I want to try to cooperate with Mr. Xu. I don't know what kind of cooperation Mr. Xu wants. Where's the law?"
If Xu Heyou had been afraid just now, he might have regretted it, but he was not afraid, which made him want to agree.
"I can participate in the entire process from tea tree planting, picking, baking to final sales, and I want to share the revenue from the tea garden I've improved with Boss Fan half and half," said Wei Ruodao.
"It's half and half, Mr. Xu, you know, the tea garden is my property, and it uses my people, my connections, and my sales channels." Fan Chengxu said.
"What I want to share is the part of the income that has been improved compared to the original one. I don't share the money that you originally earned, but because of the part that I got the improvement, I will take half of it. If the part that improved is brought by me, Then why should I not take half of it?" Wei Ruodao.
"This sounds reasonable." Fan Chengxu commented.
"Boss Fan can think about it carefully. I'm not in a hurry to get the answer. If Boss Fan feels it's inappropriate, you can reject me." Wei Ruo was not overly enthusiastic about this matter.
"It sounds like I'm in a passive position in this transaction." Fan Chengxu said with a smile.
"Boss Fan can't think like that. He can only say that we are equal in this relationship and it is mutually beneficial. If we reach an agreement, we will start a new cooperative relationship. If we cannot reach an agreement, then our business cannot be done with justice. Can we still maintain the original cooperative relationship, what do you think, Boss Fan?"
Fan Chengxu chuckled: "What should I do, I think what you said makes sense."
Wei Ruo looked at Fan Chengxu's smile and followed suit.
Then Fan Chengxu said: "In that case, I will take out one of my tea gardens to give it a try first. I hope Mr. Xu will not disappoint me." ### The second day after the negotiation with
Fan
Chengxu was completed, Fan Chengxu sent someone Come and take Wei Ruo to his tea garden.
Wei Ruo took Xiumei into Fan Chengxu's carriage.
Compared with the carriage Wei Ruo usually rides in, Fan Chengxu's carriage is more spacious and comfortable. Moreover, this specification cannot be used by ordinary businessmen, and even the richest businessmen are not allowed to use it.
When they arrived at the place, Wei Ruo got off the carriage and looked up to see the four characters "Yu Sheng Tea Garden" written on the wooden plaque at the entrance of the tea garden.
There were already three people waiting at the door, one of whom was Shopkeeper Shen whom Wei Ruo had known before.
Shopkeeper Shen came forward with a smile on his face: "Mr. Xu, my young master asked me to wait here early. Since my young master has other things to do, I will take him to the tea garden to inspect today." "Thank you, shopkeeper Shen." Wei Ruo replied with a smile.
Wei Ruo followed Shopkeeper Shen to the tea garden.
Yusheng Tea Garden is a whole tea mountain, so after entering the tea garden gate, there are stairs going up.
On both sides of the stairs are rows of waist-high tea trees. This time is the harvest time for evening tea, so Wei Ruo can see some tea-picking girls scattered on the hillsides on both sides of the road, harvesting tea leaves.
However, the quality of the tea at this time is not very good. As the temperature rises, the branches and leaves of the tea trees grow wildly, the tea leaves become larger and longer, the taste becomes stronger and the bitterness increases, and the price is accordingly lower.
For green tea, the first batch of green tea sprouts that have just begun in spring are the most precious. The subsequent batches are not as good as the previous batch, and each batch is not as good as the last.
"What's the price of the picked tea now?" Wei Ruo asked shopkeeper Shen.
"Today's tea cannot be sold at a high price and is not drunk by nobles. It is usually drunk by ordinary people. A pound of tea costs twenty cents." Shopkeeper Shen explained.
Tea at this price is not what Fan Chengxu wants to sell.
It’s just that the tea trees are growing here, and it would be wasted if we don’t harvest them. It’s better to make a small profit than not making any at all.
Wei Ruo stopped and looked intently at the tea leaves picked by the tea picking girl next to him.
Then he reached out to the tea basket in front of the tea-picking girl. The tea-picking girl didn't know what Wei wanted to do. Seeing that a young man was reaching out to her, she was so frightened that she instinctively hid back.
Shopkeeper Shen hurriedly explained: "This is our young master's distinguished guest, you don't have to be afraid."
Wei Ruo smiled and said: "Don't panic, I'm just looking at the tea leaves you picked."
After hearing the explanation, the tea-picking girl put down her Be wary.
Wei Ruo took some fresh tea leaves from the tea basket, put them in the palm of his hand and looked at them carefully, then showed a meaningful smile on his face.
At this moment, she had a plan brewing in her mind.
At this time in the world, black tea, yellow tea, and dark tea have not yet appeared. Generally speaking, the younger the green tea, the more valuable it is. However, if it is fermented tea such as black tea, yellow tea, and dark tea, it does not necessarily need to be Such tender tea leaves.
Wei Ruo said to shopkeeper Shen who was on the side: "Will these tea leaves be sent directly for frying after being picked?" "
Of course, the tea leaves must be fried while they are fresh. If it is too late, the tea leaves will be dry and stir-fried. , the color, smell and taste are even worse." Shopkeeper Shen explained.
"The tea leaves picked today are spread out with dustpans and are not fried." Wei Ruodao.
"Mr. Xu, this tea will become wilted if left overnight!" Shopkeeper Shen said in surprise.
"I know, I just need it to tone down." Wei Ruo replied.
"How many kilograms of tea do Mr. Xu need to leave like this?" Shopkeeper Shen asked again.
Black tea, yellow tea, and dark tea appeared in the middle and late Ming Dynasty in history.
