Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Indirect Tactics

Mr. Huang saw that he actively brought up the price hike, and immediately made a difficult expression, saying, “Brother Zhang, you also know that it’s really hard to hire workers now!”

“If you pay too little, no one will do the job, but if you pay too much, the factory will have no profit. My days are not easy either!”

Zhang Dadan saw that even at this point, he still had a thieving heart, and couldn’t help but sneer in his heart. He sure is slow-witted!

“Mr. Huang, have you really decided to raise the price? But it’s also true, raising the price is what you’re best at! I heard soybean prices in the town went up too!” Zhang Dadan said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Huang was shocked and became extremely anxious. He definitely knows! He knows I forced the soybean merchants to raise the price!

Dammit! Better not let me know who blabbed and sold me out, or I’ll make sure they suffer forever.

“Brother Zhang, you’re speaking in riddles!” Mr. Huang thought for a long time, finally calmed down, and started to compromise.

In Mr. Huang’s view, there’s only one sauce factory in Stone Town, and the soybean sauce in Anping Village can’t be made in a day.

Zhang Dadan’s Shiitake Mushroom Sauce Factory wants to survive; it can’t stop the supply, and to keep supplying consistently, he definitely needs my soybean sauce.

No matter how much he dislikes me, he wouldn’t dare break off relations with me. Otherwise, if the supply is truly cut off, let’s see how he can keep his factory running.

“Mr. Huang, let’s speak plainly!” Zhang Dadan saw his expression change rapidly, clearly thinking fast.

Mr. Huang showed a mouthful of yellow teeth and laughed honestly, speaking threateningly, “Brother Zhang, your shiitake mushroom sauce must not stop production!”

This bastard is really audacious! Using his soybean sauce to dare to threaten me?

Zhang Dadan frowned slightly, angry, “Mr. Huang, do you really think our factory can’t operate without you?”

Mr. Huang saw that he was being straightforward and didn’t hide anything anymore, saying directly, “There’s only one sauce factory in our town. Brother Zhang, you’d better think carefully!”

These words were blatantly threatening. Zhang Dadan tried hard to suppress his anger but ultimately couldn’t succumb to self-preservation.

“Boss Huang, you should know that there is also a sauce factory in Baiying Town in our county, right?” Zhang Dadan said angrily.

Mr. Huang was evidently surprised upon hearing this, then laughed, “Brother Zhang, you’re joking. Baiying Town is even farther away than the county. Why go far when you can stay close?”

“Hmph! Going far is better than being threatened by certain people! I just have a bad temper; I don’t like being threatened!” Zhang Dadan replied coldly.

To Mr. Huang, his greatest reliance was the finished soybean sauce in his hands. The people of Anping Village need time to make soybean sauce.

As long as he forces Zhang Dadan to sign the supply agreement before the soybean sauce in Anping Village is ready, he will have no worries!

“Brother Zhang, we’re business people; let’s not be impulsive!” Mr. Huang calmed down and said calmly.

Zhang Dadan saw he seemed to have him figured out, becoming more resistant. You just produce soybean sauce; what’s the big deal? The earth turns without anyone!

“Mr. Huang, I’m here not to make trouble; I just plan to buy some more soybean sauce to take back. We’ll talk about other things later!” Zhang Dadan said coldly.

Unnoticed by them, the tension had already escalated, as if any slight mishap would cause an explosion.

Mr. Huang took a puff of smoke, gently blowing out a smoke ring, speaking condescendingly, “Brother Zhang, no need to panic!”

“How about this? Let’s sign a supply agreement today, and I’ll immediately arrange for someone to deliver the goods to you!”

Zhang Dadan couldn’t understand where this arrogance came from at this point, thinking himself indispensable.

Back when he approached him for soybean sauce, he also mentioned signing a supply agreement.

But then he looked down on him, thinking his factory wouldn’t last long, and directly refused.

Now his shiitake mushroom sauce has gained fame and stable sales channels, yet he wants to hold onto him. Is such easy good luck possible?

Seeing he was still so arrogant and disregarding him, Zhang Dadan smiled, “Mr. Huang, just say today if you can deliver the goods!”

His determined look left Mr. Huang a bit stunned. He’s supposed to be begging me, right? If I cut his soybean sauce supply, his factory will have to shut down!

Mr. Huang, fearing he might really leave him, quickly bluffed, “Brother Zhang, you’re not seriously going to Baiying Town for soybean sauce, are you?”

“I must tell you, the soybean sauce produced there is far inferior to what we make here! If it affects the reputation of your shiitake mushroom sauce, it won’t be a joke!”

Though Zhang Dadan cared much about the quality of shiitake mushroom sauce, he wouldn’t easily be subjugated by someone, especially a shameless person!

Even if Baiying Town’s soybean sauce isn’t as good as his, he could compensate by increasing the shiitake mushrooms’ ratio.

“Mr. Huang, if you say this, there’s really nothing more to discuss!” Zhang Dadan suddenly stood up and said indifferently.

His calm demeanor left Mr. Huang puzzled. What is this guy’s real intention?

“Mr. Huang, then I’ll be on my way!” Seeing Mr. Huang unmoved, Zhang Dadan strode forward.

Experienced Mr. Huang finally couldn’t sit still, standing up suddenly, laughing, “Brother Zhang… Brother Zhang, let’s have a good talk. Why the rush?”

“How about this, we sign a supply agreement, even if the supply amount is halved, it’s fine! After all, my factory needs to survive too!”

Zhang Dadan saw him compromise and was somewhat swayed. After all, the village’s soybean sauce isn’t something that can be made in a day.

“Mr. Huang, if I don’t sign the supply agreement with you today, are you determined not to deliver the goods?” Zhang Dadan tested.

If Mr. Huang recalled the cooperation from these days and refrained from making an irreversible move, it wouldn’t be impossible to reduce the procurement by half.

But if he became greedy, showing his ugly side, then it wouldn’t be his fault for ending the cooperation!

Mr. Huang fell into deep thought upon hearing this. Now Zhang Dadan’s factory urgently needs his soybean sauce; he still has leverage.

If he delivers the goods today and Zhang Dadan immediately abandons him to turn to Baiying Town for soybean sauce, wouldn’t he be left behind?

Mr. Huang thought carefully and responded earnestly, “Brother Zhang, you should consider my situation too!”

“There are many mouths in my factory waiting to be fed! If you don’t sign the supply agreement, I definitely can’t deliver today’s soybean sauce!”

Hearing this, Zhang Dadan reluctantly shook his head and sighed, “Then I’m really sorry! Goodbye!”

He then left Mr. Huang’s office without another word, Mr. Huang quickly followed, shouting, “Brother Zhang, let’s talk it out, reconsider…”

Reconsider? You already had the chance, failing to grasp it, bringing about your own demise. Who can you blame?

Zhang Dadan raised his arm, carelessly waving in the air a few times, and left the soybean sauce factory without turning back.

After he left, Mr. Huang sat down against the wall, muttering incessantly.
