Chapter 1558: Chapter 1558: Careful, Even More Careful!
Guan Qing was unimpressed. "Mr. An is the one with the unique vision. Speaking of restaurants, there are countless ones in Nancheng, and if they are well-managed, they can make some profit. If not, well, there’s no need for me to elaborate, right? We restaurant owners work ourselves to the bone all year round and barely make any money.
Mr. An’s business is the top in Nancheng! Don’t be fooled by the small storefront; it turns a hefty profit all year round.
You’re the real expert! Quietly making a fortune!"
After being praised by Guan Qing like that, An Ping was feeling quite pleased with himself: Is there any need to say it? Who could have sharper foresight than his sister?
Although that was his thought, he still had to say the polite words: "If that’s the case, then Ms. Guan must be extraordinarily formidable. To stand out amidst such intense competition and manage to open four major restaurants, each one extremely popular, that’s something not just anyone can do."
"Thanks for the compliment," Guan Qing lifted the corner of her red lips.
"Alright. Let’s not beat around the bush, Ms. Guan. Let’s speak frankly, shall we? Weren’t you saying you wanted to discuss business? Let’s talk. Are you looking to purchase vegetables from our company on a long-term basis? Or..."
"Of course, a long-term vegetable supply is necessary. But right now, I’ve got a big banquet to host. This is a substantial order for me. You’ve seen the current season for yourself; even though it’s not the period when green and yellow crops fail to meet, procuring a large volume of vegetables isn’t that easy. That’s why I came to you..." Guan Qing spoke slowly.
This time An Ping was more cautious.
He didn’t show excessive excitement on his face but pondered in his mind and calmly said: "In that case, I might as well cooperate with Ms. Guan. But surely, for a mere vegetable contract, you didn’t need to come here in person?"
Don’t all the major restaurants have their own purchasers?
Being a purchaser in a major restaurant, one shouldn’t be just anybody.
"That’s the thing." Guan Qing explained earnestly, "Firstly, the reason Nanguofeng is ahead of the competition and has grown so rapidly is definitely due to our unique strengths. And the initial hurdle is the procurement of vegetables; we are particular about what kind of vegetables we accept. Secondly, I owe a debt of gratitude to two of your employees who rescued me. I personally came to express my thanks and to check on them as well."
"I see." An Ping nodded, finding Guan Qing’s explanation quite reasonable.
Guan Qing’s smile faded, and she adopted an all-business demeanor. She took out a contract from her bag and placed it in front of An Ping. "I’ve already drafted the contract in advance. It contains all the terms for the vegetable procurement. Have a look, Mr. An, and if you find everything to be in order, you can sign it."
An Ping took the contract and read through the dense terms and conditions.
He had been caught off-guard by a contract just like this before.
This time, he had to be extra careful.
Because he knew that this thin sheet of paper, with its written content, could with a few changes of words, bankrupt a company or even lead to a change of power.
"Ms. Guan, how about this: I will carefully review the terms of this contract. I’ll get back to you in a couple of days after I’ve looked it over thoroughly, is that okay?" An Ping said.
"Sure. But hurry up, please! I’ll be awaiting your response. If you can guarantee the supply of vegetables, I’ll go ahead and take on that big order," Guan Qing stated.
