Chapter 35 Cooperation
After Eunuch Chang returned to the palace.
He told Xiao Shentian everything that happened at Xie Xunfeng's mansion.
Xiao Shentian laughed after hearing this, and said to Mo Xiaonian, "Master Mo, look, you said that Xie Jizi is a fool. Which normal person dares to treat the Yuan family like this? Who else dares to bet with that crazy Huangfu Chou that he can find out the assassination case within seven days?"
After listening to this, Mo Xiaonian said, "Your Majesty, please believe me. He is really not a fool. How can a fool write such magnificent poems..."
Xiao Shentian smiled and said, "I have already checked it! Indeed, that fool has some outstanding qualities. But, he is still a fool after all. If he was not pretending to be a fool , he would not have left Xiao Nalan alone and insisted on marrying Xiao Yiran. He also said that he memorized the poems you mentioned. Maybe they are from some ancient books of their Great Zhou Kingdom?"
Mo Xiaonian was speechless for a moment, and said to Xiao Shentian, "Your Majesty, if he can solve this assassination case within seven days? Can it prove that he is indeed not a fool ?"
Xiao Shentian heard this and said, "I have investigated this assassination case all the way, but I have no clue at all. Huangfu Chou also accepted it immediately, and he also has no clue! Not to mention seven days, even if it's seventy days, I'm afraid he won't be able to solve it. If he can really solve it, I really need to look at him with new eyes."
The next day, Xie Xunfeng got up early.
Without waiting for Guan Chong to get up, he took Jing Fei to Cai's mansion.
He took a few bottles of Wei Ji Xian powder and went to find Cai Shoucai.
One is to express gratitude, and the other is to discuss cooperation.
When they arrived at the door of Cai's mansion, the housekeeper was very enthusiastic when he saw that it was Xie Xunfeng who came.
Because Cai Shoucai had already instructed the housekeeper before.
Entering the courtyard of Cai Mansion, the garden in this courtyard is very elegant.
After arriving at a front hall, the butler asked Xie Xunfeng to wait for a moment.
After a while, Cai Shoucai came over, exhausted.
"Mr. Xie, I've been looking forward to seeing you here for a long time, and finally you are here." Cai Shoucai seemed very enthusiastic.
Xie Xunfeng smiled and said, "Boss Cai, you are so polite. Today, I came here specially to thank you. If it weren't for your help, the third princess and I would have been branded as an adulterer."
Cai Shoucai waved his hands and said, "It's just a small favor. It's nothing to worry about..."
Xie Xunfeng did not hesitate and said to Cai Shoucai, "Boss Cai, I came here today because I have something I want to cooperate with you on."
Cai Shoucai said with some anticipation, "Mr. Xie, you mentioned this to me before, and I have been looking forward to it."
Xie Xunfeng knew that Cai Shoucai was a smart man, so he didn't beat around the bush.
Take out the bottles of prepared ultra-fresh powder and oyster sauce.
"What is this?"
"Boss Cai, is there a kitchen at home?" Xie Xunfeng asked.
Cai Shoucai nodded.
He didn't ask any more questions, just led the way.
Then, according to Xie Xunfeng's request, he asked a chef to prepare two identical dishes.
One had oyster sauce and the other did not.
One had MSG and the other didn’t.
Cai Shoucai simply tasted it and his eyes suddenly widened.
"How can there be such delicious dishes in the world!"
Having said that, he asked the cook to taste it.
After the chef tasted the dish, he himself was unwilling to believe that he had made it.
Xie Xunfeng said, "Let's talk about what's next."
Cai Shoucai is a shrewd businessman.
He naturally understood what these seemingly insignificant powders represented.
Cai Shoucai was even more polite.
"Mr. Xie, you are right. These things are simply divine products! How do you think we can cooperate?"
Xie Xunfeng said, "There are two options. One is that I will give you the method of making this extremely delicious powder and oyster sauce, and you will make it. I will be responsible for taking a cut, and we will split it 20-80, 80 for you and 20 for me!"
"Another way is for me to make the finished product for you and then sell it exclusively to you. Of course, I'm a fearful person, so I prefer the first option!"
Cai Shoucai didn't even think twice and chose the first option. "Mr. Xie, if you only care about the profit sharing, aren't you afraid that I will cheat you?"
Xie Xunfeng smiled faintly and said, "You have such a big business, you should not care about these petty profits! This is our primary attempt, I believe you know how to choose. I will not only give you a secret recipe, but also give you some ways to sell these things at a high price."
Cai Shoucai said to Xie Xunfeng, "Mr. Xie, since you are so straightforward, I also agreed. You also said that we should be friends. Let's split the profits 50-50! What do you think?"
Xie Xunfeng did not refuse. If Cai Shoucai was smart, with Xie Xunfeng's help, he would definitely become a businessman as wealthy as a country.
As he was talking, Xie Xunfeng wrote a recipe for Wei Ji Xian Noodles and Oyster Sauce and handed it to Cai Shoucai, and asked Jing Fei to give guidance.
Afterwards, Xie Xunfeng briefly talked about some of the packaging techniques and marketing methods he brought to later generations.
After listening to this, Cai Shoucai said to Xie Xunfeng, "Master Xie, let's still split it 20-80..."
Xie Xunfeng glanced at Cai Shoucai.
Cai Shoucai said to Xie Xunfeng, "You have eight, I have two!"
Xie Xunfeng smiled and said, "No need, let's just split it 50-50. I don't bother with these business trivia. If this product can be successful, we can cooperate further."
Cai Shoucai naturally nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice after listening to Xie Xunfeng's insightful opinion.
Suddenly, everything became clear in my mind.
The method Xie Xunfeng mentioned is not only useful for selling ultra-fresh vermicelli and oyster sauce.
Many of his properties can be used.
He even felt that the marketing methods and packaging techniques mentioned by Xie Xunfeng were far more valuable than those Wei Ji Xian powder.
After Xie Xunfeng finished speaking, he left Cai's house without staying any longer.
He approached Cai Shoucai to collaborate on the Wei Ji Xian and oyster sauce just to test whether he was a person worth making friends with.
He really needs a business partner to help him accumulate wealth.
He didn't want to do these things himself.
As of now, Cai Shoucai is still a good choice, but whether he can be used remains to be seen.
After leaving Cai's house, Xie Xunfeng asked Jing Fei to drive the carriage to the Black Dragon Society.
Jing Fei asked in confusion, "Sir, we offended the Black Dragon Society last time. Aren't we asking for a beating this time?"
Xie Xunfeng said calmly, "That Black Dragon is also a smart man. I need some people to help me do the dirty work!"
Jing Fei didn't quite understand what he heard, but he knew that his master was different now.
You will definitely be right to listen to him.
As he said this, he drove the carriage to the gate of the Black Dragon Society.
Just arrived at the door, but found that it seems that I came at the wrong time...
