Chapter 406: Chapter 406 Set the Price

“Alright! You can go now! You’re not needed here anymore!” Zhang Dadan sat back on the sofa and said indifferently.

Although Secretary Liu was sent by Hu Changshun to test Zhang Dadan, she no longer had the courage to do so at this moment.

After Secretary Liu left, Zhang Dadan drank a few cups of tea, then took out his phone and lazily scrolled through the news.

Before long, Hu Changshun walked in with a disappointed expression. Zhang Dadan put away his phone and smiled, “Director Hu, how’s it going? Is the inventory enough?”

Hu Changshun sat opposite him, gave an awkward smile, and replied, “Enough…enough…the inventory is still sufficient!”

Zhang Dadan didn’t say much more to him and continued sipping the tea in front of him, savoring it slowly.

At this moment, Hu Changshun, who had just been rejected by the Shiitake Mushroom Sauce Factory, was already feeling a bit down. Seeing Zhang Dadan so relaxed and no longer anxious made him even more curious.

This Zhang Dadan was eager to talk about cooperation just now, why is he suddenly so leisurely drinking tea?

Hu Changshun prepared to temporarily appease Zhang Dadan and then continue to approach the Shiitake Mushroom Sauce Factory in Anping Village. He said, “Brother Zhang, let’s discuss the purchase price now.”

Zhang Dadan, who despised these sneaky people, didn’t want to put on too much of an act as he also needed soy sauce for his factory, so he replied, “Alright! Then ten yuan per catty, what do you think?”

“Ten yuan per catty?” Hu Changshun was a bit surprised. This price was way above the market price!

It was odd for Zhang Dadan, as a reseller, to purchase soy sauce at such a high price.

In that case, how could he make a profit? Could it be that the Shiitake Mushroom Sauce Factory offered him an even higher price?

Hu Changshun, finding it hard to believe, asked again, “Brother Zhang, did you say ten yuan per catty? Are you pulling my leg?”

Seeing his shocked expression, Zhang Dadan knew he had misunderstood and reminded him, “I mean ten yuan per kilogram, ten thousand yuan per ton!”

Hearing this, Hu Changshun deflated and, somewhat annoyed, said, “Brother Zhang, are you kidding me?

Ten yuan per kilogram? Do you know the current price of soybeans per catty?”

The price of ten yuan per kilogram was indeed excessive, but if Zhang Dadan didn’t bargain this hard, he couldn’t teach them a lesson in a subtle way. Moreover, business often involves haggling!

“Director Hu, I’m just a reseller. I make money from the price difference. If I don’t bargain, how can I make a profit? Wouldn’t I have wasted my trip?” Zhang Dadan laughed.

Hu Changshun sighed helplessly and laughed, “Alright! Brother Zhang, let’s stop this pretense, fourteen yuan per catty!”

The price of fourteen yuan per kilogram was the same as Stone Town’s Sauce Factory, and it was also Zhang Dadan’s initial price in mind.

However, since Hu Changshun had been sneaky, how could he let him off the hook so easily?

“Director Hu, at fourteen yuan, I won’t make any profit. How about this, I’ll give in one last time, how about twelve yuan?” Zhang Dadan put on a troubled expression.

Since Hu Changshun intended to secretly negotiate with the Shiitake Mushroom Sauce Factory, he didn’t mind this small loss at the moment.

Besides, the higher the price difference earned by the other party now, the greater the bargaining chip he would have when negotiating cooperation with the Shiitake Mushroom Sauce Factory later, so he decided to endure the loss for now!

Hu Changshun, aiming for long-term gains, agreed to Zhang Dadan’s offer, which pleasantly surprised Zhang Dadan!

“Director Hu, in that case, let’s sign a contract for twenty tons first. If the Shiitake Mushroom Sauce Factory continues to cooperate with me, I’ll come back to you!” Zhang Dadan said with a grin.

Hu Changshun heard this, also smiled, not because he was happy about this deal, but because he was laughing at Zhang Dadan.

Next time you’ll come to work with me? Next time I’ll deliver directly to the Shiitake Mushroom Sauce Factory, do I still need you? Still let you make this difference?

Although Hu Changshun was full of schemes and led a flamboyant life, he was still efficient in action and quickly had someone print out the contract.

Zhang Dadan took the contract but was stunned to find the purchase price listed as ten yuan. He asked incredulously, “Director Hu, are you being extremely generous? Are you really selling it to me at ten yuan per kilogram?”

Hu Changshun’s face darkened, “Jokes aside, the contract is a contract, business is business! It’s still twelve yuan, otherwise, I won’t ship!”

Although Zhang Dadan had long understood that Hu Changshun would deduct funds for himself, this attitude of treating the contract like a piece of paper still surprised him.

No wonder the Dafa Sauce Factory was declining day by day. How could a sauce factory thrive when they didn’t value contract integrity?

If he didn’t care about the contract, why did he urge for a long-term supply contract before?

As Zhang Dadan was puzzled, Secretary Liu brought another contract marked with the price of twelve yuan per catty.

Signing the twenty-ton supply contract took until past five in the evening, and Hu Changshun then invited Zhang Dadan to dinner.

But Zhang Dadan needed to return quickly, so he declined, making Hu Changshun feel somewhat awkward. However, as a money-grubber, he didn’t take it too much to heart.

After chatting a bit more in the office, Zhang Dadan got up to leave, and Hu Changshun, as the factory director, naturally escorted him.

At the factory gate, the gatekeeper Da Wang hurried out to flatter Zhang Dadan, afraid that he would hold a grudge against him.

Zhang Dadan paused, glared at him, and joked to Hu Changshun, “Director Hu, your little brother-in-law seems quite fierce!

It’s a good thing I’m generous. If it were someone else coming to purchase the paste, they would have been chased away a long time ago!”

With that, he shook his head disappointedly and strode out. Hu Changshun sent him off, then returned and took another look at the gatekeeper.

His brother-in-law, with a hot temper and arrogant attitude, easily offended people. It indeed wasn’t suitable for him to be a gatekeeper!

“Da Wang, don’t be a gatekeeper anymore. Start managing the warehouse tomorrow!” Hu Changshun said coldly.

The gatekeeper Da Wang was shocked, “Brother-in-law, you’re firing me over this guy?”

Seeing him argue, Hu Changshun was even more displeased. You dare act so arrogant in front of me?

“I’m not firing you! Just shifting you to manage the warehouse. I’ll find someone else for the gatekeeper work!” Hu Changshun said harshly.

Da Wang knew he had made up his mind. Anger welled up inside him, his face turning red as he stormed into the guards’ room in a fit of rage.

His anger wasn’t because the work was so easy, but because of the extra ways to earn money.

With the security office now gone and only he and Old Li taking turns as gatekeepers, the job came with perks despite seeming insignificant.

In the vast factory area at night, he could take anything of value, scrap metal or otherwise, as he pleased.

Previously, he wouldn’t have cared about these small perks, but as the factory declined and his brother-in-law could no longer support him financially, he relied on them more and more.

Now, because of a word from Zhang Dadan, he was losing his job and extra income. How could he not hate Zhang Dadan to the core?
