"Shopkeeper Wang, Shopkeeper Wang? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?
Why was his expression so strange? Did you catch a cold yesterday?"
Looking at Wang Mian, who was gnashing his teeth, Du He asked as if she did not feel anything.
Wang Mian, who had finally calmed down his anger, almost couldn't keep his face straight after hearing Du He's words.
Fortunately, he still remembered the tragic situation of his Pearl Restaurant.
If he didn't get his hands on the cooking skills, this restaurant would be gone.
Therefore, Wang Mian suppressed the urge to beat him up and forced an ugly smile.
"Young Master Du, 5,000 strings it is. This old man will buy the right to use your whatever technique.”
"How refreshing! This Young Master likes to do business with straightforward people!”
Du He didn't care what the other party thought and directly gave him a thumbs up.
Hearing Du He's words, Wang Mian, who had not shown any good expression, finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"Young Master Du, if this old man buys the right to use this place, I'll be able to use it for a long time.
Is our Pearl Restaurant the only restaurant in Chang 'an City that can use this cooking technique?”
"Oh? Could it be that Shopkeeper Wang was asking about the 'exclusive usage rights'?
The price of the exclusive usage rights and the normal usage rights were different. For the normal ones, you could buy them for 5,000 strings.
However, if you want to buy the exclusive right to use it, it will cost at least 100,000 yuan before I consider selling it.”
Du He shook her head and said.
"100,000?"
Hearing this number, Wang Mian exclaimed in surprise.
100,000 strings were enough to buy more than 10 restaurants. How could this kid dare to ask for such a high price?
Du He smiled and said,"Shopkeeper Wang, don't think that 100,000 is too much. Think about it carefully."
There were more than a hundred markets in Chang 'an, and each market had at least one restaurant.
If half of the restaurants wanted to buy this cooking technique, it would cost 250,000 strings.
In that case, 100,000 strings of coins was the price that this Young Master had offered on account of Shopkeeper Wang.”
Although he found it unbelievable, Wang Mian did not completely disagree with Du He's words.
According to what he said, 100,000 strings of coins was a reasonable price.
However, after hearing this question, Wang Mian naturally dismissed the idea of buying the exclusive rights.
More importantly, he couldn't afford it!
"Young Master Du must be joking. This old man only wants to buy the ordinary usage rights.”
Wang Mian smiled awkwardly and asked.
Du He took out a contract from the side and said,
"As long as Shopkeeper Wang pays, this Young Master can teach you the technique at any time.
This was the contract for purchasing the right to use it. Shopkeeper Wang had a look at it first, then he could go back and prepare the money.”
When Wang Mian's gaze landed on the contract, he asked casually,"
"By the way, Shopkeeper Wang, I heard that there is a charcoal mountain in the west of the city that belongs to your Wang family?”
Wang Mian, who had just read a few terms, instantly raised his head when he heard Du He's question.
"That's right, it's our Wang Family's business. But why is Young Master Du asking about this?"”
Du He smiled and said: " This Young Master is very interested in that Charcoal Mountain. I wonder if Shopkeeper Wang can sell it to me?"”
Although Wang Mian had been embarrassed quite a bit earlier, he had calmed down now and had already returned to his original nature as a businessman.
He did not look at the terms of the contract for the time being and said in a deep voice,
"Young Master Du, that Charcoal Mountain is the foundation passed down by our Wang family's ancestors. Under normal circumstances…"
"Then there must be some special circumstances. Shopkeeper Wang, you don't have to be too picky. Just tell me the price.
If the price you offer is acceptable to me, then we'll have another deal today.
Everyone looks up and down to see each other. Harmony breeds wealth. I hope Shopkeeper Wang won't disappoint me!”
Du He said calmly.
"Good boy, it's finally time for you to beg me!
If I don't cheat you of a huge sum today, how can I be worthy of the sin I suffered before?”
Wang Mian was overjoyed, but he had a solemn expression on his face.
He 'pondered' for a long time before he slowly opened his mouth and said,""Young Master Du, you also know that the Charcoal Mountain is the foundation of our ancestors.
If I sell it at a low price, I won't be able to explain it to my clansmen.
However, Young Master Du is right. Everyone's harmony breeds wealth. This old man wants 20,000 yuan.
As long as you can take out 20,000 strings, that Mt. Charcoal and the surrounding fertile land will be yours.”
Du He immediately laughed and said,"Shopkeeper Wang, are you teasing me?"
There was not a single hair near the Charcoal Mountain, so where did the saying of fertile land come from?
At most, I can offer ten thousand strings, and this is on account of the villagers.”
"At least 18,000 strings, or else this old man won't be able to explain to my clansmen!”
"At most twelve thousand strings. Any more and this Young Master's conscience won't be able to take it!”
"15,000 strings, I can't go any lower, or else…"
"Deal!"
Hearing Wang Mian's bid of 15,000 strings, Du He shouted out two words.
Wang Mian was stunned. He was a little annoyed that he had lost too much weight all of a sudden.
He thought to himself, If I had been a little more forceful just now, wouldn't the gold that I gave out today be returned?
Fortunately, Du He was able to offer fifteen thousand strings, which had actually already exceeded his psychological price.
Therefore, Wang Mian was only upset for a moment before he lowered his head to look at the contract again.
The contract clearly stated that the Wang family could use the cooking technique in all their restaurants.
However, he could not reveal it to anyone unrelated.
Otherwise, the Wang family would have to compensate Du He tenfold for the losses caused by the technology leak.
Upon seeing this, the corner of Wang Mian's mouth twitched.
He had thought that he could also use this stir-fried dish to sell for money, but he could only give up on that idea at this moment.
Although doing this would make Du He unable to earn money, he would also have to lose money. It was considered harming others and himself.
When Wang Mian saw the last clause, he was stunned and said,
"Young Master Du, what does this 'a catty of oil supply' mean?”
"Oh, this is an additional clause. If Shopkeeper Wang doesn't need it, it's fine.
"If you're short of oil, just buy it from me. The price will be the same.”
Du He explained.
In fact, even if he disclosed the cooking technique for free, it would be a profitable business if he directly supplied soybean oil.
After all, it was impossible to cook without oil.
Du He now occupied the upper reaches of this industrial chain, which was equivalent to strangling the throat.
What was the most profitable?
Of course, it was a monopoly!
The cost of soybeans was ten copper coins per catty, and five catties of soybeans could produce one catty of soybean oil.
Adding on the labor costs, the total cost was less than a hundred coins, and the net profit of the soybean oil business was more than ten times.
Of course, no one would complain about having too much money.
If Du He didn't make a profit from this, she would be letting herself down.
Wang Mian finally finished reading the contract, and the two of them simply signed the contract for the Charcoal Mountain.
Looking at the two contracts that were signed and pressed with their thumbprints, Du He and Wang Mian both smiled brightly.
