A business deal? This was a result that Yang Rui had never expected. Previously, he had only taken out the sweet potatoes to lighten the atmosphere at the table and to obtain some clues about the quest. Furthermore, he had also wanted to test if the sweet potatoes were popular with the NPCs.
Things were just as Yang Rui had guessed. The "business deal" that Manager Wang had mentioned was indeed related to the sweet potatoes. After tasting the sweet potatoes, Manager Wang's keen senses told him that the rare sweet potato could be a business opportunity. Who knows, it might even become a signature item for "A pint of incense"!
Thus, Manager Wang and Yang Rui began to discuss the purchase and sale of the sweet potatoes. Manager Wang's idea was to purchase all of the sweet potatoes in the mountain village at five times the market price and invest in the planting of the sweet potatoes. Then, all of the "A pint of incense" inns in the Three Kingdoms region would be responsible for the promotion.
This way, Yang Rui would only be able to gain some benefits at the beginning. Once "A pint of incense" introduced the sweet potatoes, with the strength of "A pint of incense" nationwide, they would definitely be able to find a large area of fertile land to promote the planting of sweet potatoes. This way, Yang Rui would not be able to gain any benefits!
Of course, Yang Rui would not agree to this plan. It seemed that Manager Wang was used to being an unscrupulous businessman. The conditions that he offered were not high at all. However, business deals were always negotiated. As the saying goes, "Ask for a sky-high price and return on the ground". Yang Rui was not too dissatisfied with Manager Wang's actions. He only proposed his own plan.
According to Yang Rui's plan, the sweet potato supply had to be controlled by the mountain village. They would be responsible for the supply of the sweet potato raw materials. "A pint of incense" would be the marketing partner. Both parties would split the profits equally. Alternatively, "A pint of incense" could purchase the sweet potatoes from the mountain village at a high price.
Yang Rui knew that this plan was not very realistic. However, the procedure of "asking for a sky-high price" had to be followed! Sure enough, Manager Wang resolutely rejected Yang Rui's plan. However, he did raise the price of the mountain village a little.
The two sides talked back and forth until midnight, and finally reached an agreement. Under the monitoring of the system, Yang Rui and Shopkeeper Wang drafted a letter of intent.
Once this document was approved by the higher-ups of "A pint of incense" and signed by both parties, it would take effect. In the game, once such a document took effect, it would be authenticated and protected by the system to ensure that every related business would comply with the agreement in the document.
"Village Chief Blazing Sun, I didn't expect you to know so much about this! Let this old man drink another cup of wine with you! "Since both sides had reached an agreement, Manager Wang took the initiative to raise a cup of wine and drained it with Yang Rui. The "deep knowledge" he mentioned was naturally referring to Yang Rui's performance in the negotiations.
It was already past midnight, and the waiter had already fallen asleep on the table while the two of them were discussing business. Yang Rui and Manager Wang drank a few more cups of wine before going their separate ways. The next morning, Yang Rui happily embarked on his journey back to the mountain village.
Yang Rui was, of course, happy. He had gained a lot from this trip to Pingxian County. Not to mention that he had already prepared all the required blueprints, just the fact that he had unintentionally obtained a large order was a huge surprise!
"The Mountain Village and A pint of incense's sweet potato purchase agreement:
1. The Mountain Village is responsible for the supply of sweet potatoes and sweet potato seedlings. A pint of incense is the only supplier …
2. Starting from the first day of the second month of the third year of Guanghe, the supply and demand relationship between the two parties will be established. The sweet potatoes will be promoted within a year, and the supply price of the sweet potatoes will be ten times the market price of ordinary grains. After a year, A pint of incense will introduce and promote the sweet potatoes. The Mountain Village will take thirty percent of the market profit, while A pint of incense will take seventy percent …
…
…
10. The Mountain Village and A pint of incense will jointly ensure the exclusive operation of the sweet potatoes. No matter which party is responsible for the spread of the sweet potatoes within ten years, they will bear half of the current profit as compensation to the other party …
…
… "
The sweet potato purchase agreement between Yang Rui and Manager Wang had a total of more than ten terms of cooperation, as well as the responsibilities and obligations of both parties. It could be said that it was very comprehensive. For example, the supply of sweet potatoes for the first year of promotion, the price of the sweet potatoes, and the profit sharing were all negotiated by Yang Rui for a long time.
Apart from that, Manager Wang had also specially proposed the terms of controlling the sweet potatoes' planting range. Naturally, the purpose was to protect the benefits of the exclusive operation. Yang Rui agreed with this point. However, he was a little worried that the sweet potatoes' reproductive ability was too strong. If he was not careful, there would be problems.
Fortunately, the sweet potatoes in the game were bred by cutting and planting. The harvested sweet potato tubers could not directly breed new seedlings. Otherwise, Yang Rui would not be able to cooperate with A pint of incense.
Of course, apart from these terms on the surface, Yang Rui did not forget to look for clues for the mission. Manager Wang had previously mentioned that he could help Yang Rui find some ways. After the agreement was reached, he did not decline and promised to help Yang Rui contact a good friend who was working in the county magistrate's office. He would strive for an opportunity for Yang Rui to meet the county magistrate!
"Welcome back to the village, my lord (Young Master Blazing Sun)!"
When Yang Rui rushed back to the mountain village, it was only noon. In the village, only Qian Qiang and Wang Hai were in the vicinity, busy with some related matters.
"Well, since the two of you are here, I have something important to inform the two of you. Take a look at it," Yang Rui said as he took out the agreement of A pint of incense and handed it to Qian Qiang and Wang Hai.
The two of them took the agreement and deliberated for a while. It could be seen that their expressions changed from confusion to joy and shock. Finally, they could not help but speak in unison.
"My lord (Young Master Blazing Sun) is wise and farsighted. This is a great thing!"
Even Yang Rui himself did not expect the value of sweet potatoes to be discovered, let alone Qian Qiang and Wang Hai. Sweet potatoes were only the most basic food in the mountain village. Now that its value had increased tenfold, they could not help but be happy and shocked!
"Well, the two of you, tell me what we need to prepare for this agreement," Yang Rui said.
Now that the two internal affairs talents, Qian Qiang and Wang Hai, were present, the three of them were the wisest. Although Wang Hai already had some plans, he wanted to seek their opinions.
"My lord, if this agreement takes effect, the mountain village should seize the opportunity to greatly expand the planting area and quantity of sweet potatoes, so as to quickly accumulate the funds needed for the village's development.
In addition, with a relationship with A pint of incense, related business transactions will be frequent in the future. This subordinate believes that my lord should clean up the surrounding environment from the mountain village to the county town as soon as possible to ensure the safety of trade transactions. "
As Qian Qiang spoke, he did not forget to glance at Wang Hai. Obviously, he was also aware of Wang Hai's unfinished mission. When Qian Qiang mentioned cleaning up the surrounding environment, it naturally included the mountain village opposite the valley. Destroying that mountain village would also complete Wang Hai's mission.
"In this old man's opinion, it is better to first build the checkpoint at the entrance of the valley. This way, not only will it increase the security, but it will also isolate the outsiders who come to trade, so that they will not be able to figure out the details of our mountain village. " Wang Hai appropriately connected with this sentence, just enough to divert the attention that was focused on him.
"I have also thought about building the checkpoint, but do you think it is appropriate to carry out the trade in the checkpoint?" In fact, Yang Rui had been thinking about building the checkpoint on his way back. However, the checkpoint was a defensive structure, and it was not convenient to carry out long-term transactions.
"If Young Master Yang feels that it is not appropriate, we can build an inn in the valley outside the checkpoint. However, the outer valley is not within the mountain village's territory for the time being, so building an inn will require the relevant blueprints! "Wang Hai said.
"Then let's build the checkpoint first! However, whether it is to suppress the bandits or to build the checkpoint, we will need to increase the number of troops.
… "
One of the blueprints for the checkpoint had been dropped when the monsters attacked the village. Therefore, after the three of them discussed it, Yang Rui selected over 60 villagers that afternoon and spent 300 Ores to quickly build the checkpoint.
