Chapter 264: Chapter 166: Products from Hope Village Sell Well!

After negotiating with Zhong Yongnian, Charlot turned to Yun Juncai, who had been silent next to Zhong Yongnian, and Meng Chengzhou, "What about them?"

Zhong Yongnian said, "This is Yun Juncai. He is very familiar with the situation of various merchandise in the territory and is well-acquainted with the bosses behind them. The other is Meng Chengzhou, the owner of the Wood Workshop. The wooden products are rather simplistic, and I’m afraid you might not find them appealing, but he has a new product that I think you would be interested in."

"What is it?" Charlot asked. The Wood Workshop, in larger territories, is considered obsolete, so he indeed wasn’t very interested, but with Zhong Yongnian mentioning it, he became curious.

Zhong Yongnian led Charlot directly to the checkout counter.

Someone brought out a batch of paper bags.

"These are paper bags for packaging goods. They are clean and convenient and also carry our store’s logo," Zhong Yongnian explained, addressing Charlot.

"What is this writing on them?" Charlot rubbed his hand over the paper bag and examined the writing, a peculiar expression on his face.

"This is the name of our territory, ’Hope’!" Zhong Yongnian said with a hint of warmth in his eyes.

"Is this your script?" Charlot directly asked.

"Yes."

"Can any words be printed on it?" Charlot inquired.

He naturally understood the value of having words on the bags and had already begun calculating in his mind.

"Yes," Zhong Yongnian nodded. "We can customize it for you. Additionally, lord, the packaging of the merchandise we sell will always feature the words ’Hope Village,’ except for your own processing."

Charlot listened, his eyebrows slightly furrowing, "Does it have to be this way?"

"Yes, this point will be included in the contract," Zhong Yongnian nodded affirmatively. For second-hand processed goods, they wouldn’t require it, but for first-hand manufacturing, it was a must! It was a key point in establishing their "brand."

"If we do our own processing, like making hot and sour noodles using your seasonings, does it mean we won’t need the ’Hope Village’ packaging?" Charlot contemplated for a moment and then asked.

"Yes," Zhong Yongnian nodded.

"Let’s do that then!" Charlot decided.

Shortly thereafter, the two directly signed a supply contract on the spot.

After the contract was signed, Charlot turned to Meng Chengzhou, "Is it convenient to go to your shop now?"

"It is," Meng Chengzhou quickly responded.

"Then let’s go," Charlot said, and then also turned to Yun Juncai, "You come too!"

He would probably need his help tomorrow.

Subsequently, Charlot walked away with the two men.

As for Zhong Yongnian, having just signed another order, he didn’t plan to follow the crowd. He believed Yun Juncai and Meng Chengzhou’s negotiating skills were no less than his own.

However, after Charlot and the others left, a group of people immediately surrounded him.

It was Wendell and his group who had been inside the shop.

"Boss Zhong, we also signed a contract in Bengala Town before; you remember, right?" Wendell quickly spoke.

Listening, Zhong Yongnian promptly responded without hesitation, "I remember. When you leave ’Hope Village,’ you can directly take the contract to the factory to pick up the goods."

Since a contract was signed, Zhong Yongnian naturally would not let himself breach it.

Hearing this, Wendell and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief; they were genuinely worried that Zhong Yongnian might abandon them for Charlot, the baron.

Seeming to perceive their concerns, Zhong Yongnian openly said, "Once a contract is signed, we will adhere to it no matter what. If there are any violations within our territory, you can report to the Commercial Management Office, and the territory will advocate on your behalf. Of course, if you cheat us, our territory will also seek justice from your territory."

A contract signing used a special kind of magic scroll, and breaching the contract would result in specific penalties.

But these penalties are limited.

Because such scrolls exist, there are also ways to counteract these scrolls.

However, if the benefits are substantial enough, there still would be people who would take risks.

He naturally was willing to be the side that adheres, but he was also unwilling to be violated by others.

"Will there be any penalty?" Wendell asked.

"Probably just compensation plus imprisonment," Zhong Yongnian replied with a sly smile. Was he calculating the cost of crime?

Noticing the implication in Zhong Yongnian’s gaze, Wendell quickly assured, "We will definitely comply with the contract."

The other side had a whole territory to back them up; they dared not make any rash moves.

Unless they had a backer stronger than ’Hope Village.’

But that wasn’t necessary to say out loud.

Zhong Yongnian just listened to their words.

Immediately after, Wendell also changed the subject, "The contract we initially signed was just for jerky. Can we also... wholesale other goods?"

Wholesale—this term they had also learned in this shop.

After all, the staff kept mentioning that wholesale prices were considerably cheaper.

"Of course, but our current production capacity is limited. The previous inventory was bought out by other territories’ merchant teams. If you want to buy more, you’ll have to pre-order, and it must be the kind that pays a deposit first," Zwong Yongnian said with a brilliant smile to Wendell and the others.

When dealing with customers, Zhong Yongnian adhered to one principle.

The customer is God!

His smile was genuinely sincere.

Seeing Zhong Yongnian’s smile, Wendell and the others involuntarily tensed up.

That familiar smile seemed only to be telling them one thing.

Pay up!

"I’ll place an order!"

"I’ll place an order too."

"..."

But the next moment, one after another, people eagerly declared.

Now emptied of money, once they sold the items, their profits would surely double, of course, they could!

Among them, the most regretful were the mercenaries from Bengala Town who hadn’t placed an order.

They had originally planned to come to ’Hope Village,’ check out the situation, and then buy goods.

But upon arriving at ’Hope Village,’ they realized.

The products of ’Hope Village’ simply weren’t lacking buyers!

It wasn’t a matter of whether or not they wanted to buy; it was a matter of whether they could buy any at all.

Following this, Zhong Yongnian secured one order after another on the spot and received deposit after deposit.

In fact, more mercenary teams and merchant team leaders heard the news and rushed over quickly.

But those who came later had to wait until the 10th or even later to receive their orders.

Although many teams complained it was too slow, given the reality, they just had to accept it.

Also due to this, many teams realized that acting fast was the way to get an early taste of "meat," and in a blink of an eye, many shops with ready-made goods were besieged by several teams in a very short span.

That night, many shops in ’Hope Village’ made a good fortune.

And laid a solid foundation for ’Hope Village’ products to be popular in numerous territories for some time to come.
