"Alright, since Elder Brother Zhang vouches for their family, we'll go with them!" Liu Yifeng wasn't saying he completely trusted Zhang Jin, as he had only spoken to the boss once. He felt the boss was honest and believed a good price could be negotiated.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jin was stunned, and then overjoyed. "My dear brother Liu, do you truly mean it? In that case, I'll place a pre-order. Our hotel's demand is quite substantial, not to mention the price. Given our relationship, you won't overcharge, will you?"
Hearing that meat dishes would be included, Zhang Jin felt he was getting a great deal, and it was indeed good news.
"Elder Brother Zhang, what are you saying? Since we've been cooperating for so long, price is negotiable." Liu Yifeng smiled. As long as the cooperation was successful, his price would certainly be the most favorable.
Zhang Jin was also very happy and could see Liu Yifeng's loyalty. "Good, with your word, Brother Liu, I'm relieved. Rest assured, I'll contact the owner of that roast meat shop for you right away."
It must be said that Zhang Jin was quite efficient. The very next day, the owner of the meat shop personally called Liu Yifeng.
It was evident the other party was a straightforward person, as he directly arranged to meet.
"We meet again, President Liu." Upon seeing his visitor, the other party broke into a wide smile.
Both Liu Yifeng and Lu Fei were present. He felt that since it was about cooperation, it should be settled at once, so he had the contract drafted early.
"President Ma, you're too kind. I assume Elder Brother Zhang has informed you. Here's the contract. You can review it first. If there's anything you find unsuitable, please don't hesitate to mention it."
Liu Yifeng placed the contract directly before President Ma.
He picked it up and examined it. The price offered was indeed very reasonable, which puzzled him. Even Zhang Jin was unwilling to enter into a long-term partnership with him. Why was this person so eager to cooperate?
"The price is indeed very satisfactory. However, I would like to know why President Liu is so insistent on cooperating with me. Your vegetable industry is already preparing for market launch. Isn't it a bit abrupt to enter the meat business at this juncture?"
It was clear the other party was a shrewd businessman who understood Liu Yifeng's current situation.
"It seems you've done your research. You must also be eager to cooperate with me, or you wouldn't have arranged this meeting. To be honest, a previous incident has made my son fearful of meat. Therefore, I wish to have my own exclusive meat supply so that my son can eat healthy, high-quality meat every day."
He directly stated his purpose, also observing the other party's directness. He felt that in business, it was best to be straightforward; beating around the bush only complicated matters.
"Excellent, President Liu is a good father. Since President Liu is so straightforward, I won't say much more. I will only surprise you, not disappoint you." Ma Lun enjoyed cooperating with people like him.
Because his meat was of such high quality, the price was relatively high, and no one approached him for long-term cooperation. They either couldn't afford the price or feared that if customers got used to his superior meat, they wouldn't be able to afford ordinary meat.
President Ma picked up the contract and signed it. The cooperation between the two parties was thus formally concluded.
Now that he finally had someone willing to cooperate long-term, he was determined to seize this opportunity.
"President Ma, then I wish us a pleasant cooperation. However, I have a small, albeit bold, request." Liu Yifeng looked at the signed contract and voiced his minor request.
Ma Lun's eyes flickered for a moment, which Liu Yifeng noticed.
"President Ma, there's no need to be flustered. I just want you to bring some meat home for my son to try first."
Hearing Liu Yifeng's words, Ma Lun relaxed and said to him in a much more at ease manner, "Of course, President Liu likes to startle people. You really scared me."
This was because many people reneged on contracts after signing them. He had almost lost hope, only to have an unexpected turn of events.
"Impressive, Yifeng. Can you share some of that meat with me later?" Lu Fei teased as they returned to the company. He couldn't help but admit he wanted some and was curious to taste the premium pork.
Liu Yifeng chuckled. "Certainly, I will."
Ma Lun was also very efficient. Not long after Liu Yifeng returned to the company, he received the meticulously packaged pork, and even some beef as a gift.
"I must say, this meat looks very fresh. It's truly different from the meat we usually buy." Lu Fei finally understood why meat needed to be categorized into different grades.
Liu Yifeng looked at the meat in his hands, quite satisfied. It was appetizing just to look at.
The Villa.
"Dad, this is the premium pork from our company's new collaboration. Please cook a few dishes later and let Tongtong try it." Liu Yifeng went straight to the kitchen after work.
He happened to find Liu Chunsheng cooking and handed the piece of pork to him.
"This meat looks good. But will Tongtong accept it?" Liu Chunsheng was somewhat helpless. Since his grandson had been poisoned, he hadn't eaten any meat.
Even the teachers at school had reported that he was becoming a picky eater and refused to eat any meat.
"I have a way to make him accept it." Liu Yifeng already had a plan.
When dinner was served, Tongtong looked at the pork on the table with little appetite. However, seeing Liu Yifeng, he still ate some vegetables.
"Daddy, Tongtong is full. Tongtong will go back to his room now." He put down his chopsticks and was about to leave when Liu Yifeng stopped him.
Looking at Tongtong's current demeanor, he indeed had no interest in pork. "Tongtong, Daddy brought back premium pork from our company's new collaboration. Grandpa cooked it very well. Try a little." 138 Reading Network
"Daddy, but Tongtong is full." Tongtong frowned. He really didn't want to refuse, but he truly couldn't eat any more.
Liu Yifeng directly placed a piece into his bowl. "This is all in your head. Don't worry, we're not grilling it. Grandpa braised it for you. You won't eat that either?"
Seeing the meat Liu Yifeng had placed for him, the little face contorted.
"Daddy, then I'll eat just one piece." Finally, seeing the hopeful looks from Liu Yifeng and Liu Chunsheng, he decided to eat a piece.
He carefully put it into his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp with his eyes closed, almost choking. Fortunately, Liu Chunsheng hadn't cut it into very large pieces.
"Tongtong, if you continue to eat like this, Daddy will really get angry." Liu Yifeng frowned. Eating like this was worse than not eating at all, as it wouldn't be digested properly.
