â100 yuan a piece is a bit high.â Cao Xiangyu pretended to be troubled.
That was what he said, but according to the current market, the price of a chip was about 110 yuan, so it was still a very low price.
He only offered him 80 yuan before because Cao Xiangyu did not respect Lin Yi.
Even if he asked for 100 yuan now, he could accept it.
Moreover, Cao Xiangyu was sure that this Lin Yi was an amateur.
âBrother Cao, my price isnât that high. We have employees to support.â
âBut this price is a bit high to me. Itâs difficult for me to accept.â
âConsider it a favor to me, Brother.â Lin Yi said hopefully.
âI can try, but I have a small request,â Cao Xiangyu said. âIf Brother Lin agrees, Iâll agree to the 100 yuan price.â
âSure, go ahead.â
âYou should help us with the production first. Iâll postpone the contract payment by a few months,â Cao Xiangyu said.
âBut donât worry, weâll give you a million yuan in advance for staff expenses. We will ensure you donât lose anything.â
âNo way.â Lin Yi rejected. âIf you want to pay me later, I wonât do it.â
......
âBrother Lin, if you say that, youâll be walking a narrow path.â Cao Xiangyu put his arm around Lin Yiâs shoulder and called him brother.
âThink about it, youâre helping your brother-in-law manage this factory. To put it bluntly, youâre a part-time worker and youâre getting a fixed salary. But if you help me to make this deal happen, do you think Iâll treat you badly?â
âWhat do you mean?â
Cao Xiangyu gave his secretary a look, and the latter understood. She immediately took out a check for 500,000 yuan from her bag.
âThis is a reward for you, it should be more than your annual salary, right?â
âBrother Cao, if youâd taken this out earlier, we wouldnât have to talk so much,â Lin Yi said with a laugh.
âThe delay will just be for a few months later. Iâll tell my brother-in-law when I get back. Weâll make it work.â
âBut thereâs one thing I have to explain in advance. You guys have to pay for the labor.â
âNo problem. Then weâll deduct it from the contract fees. The total is 10 million yuan. After deducting the labor, when its time to pay, weâll just give you the net profit.â
âOkay, okay, okay. Brother Cao will be in charge of this. Iâll stay out of it. You can use the factoryâs equipment and warehouses as you like. Iâll have nothing to do anyway.â Lin Yi lit a cigarette casually and said casually.
âIâm f*cking confused. The factoryâs not that big, so why are there so many warehouses? If it wasnât for your order, Iâd have f*cking demolished all of them and start raising fish.â
âRaise fish?â
âI even found an excavator. I wanted to tear down those warehouses, dig a few big pits, and raise some koi fish to change my luck. Iâve been unlucky all these years and havenât made any money. Iâm probably just missing these koi fish.â
Cao Xiangyu was dumbfounded by Lin Yiâs words.
How f*cking unreliable did he have to be to do something like this?
You canât make money because of your IQ, it has nothing to do with raising koi fish.
âBrother Lin, youâre really in a good mood. Iâll get you some koi fish when I have time. I wish you good luck and for you to make a fortune in the future.â
âOkay, okay, okay. Itâs settled then.â
âAlright, thatâs it for today.â Lin Yi smiled as he put the check into his pocket. âI still have something else to do, so Iâll leave first. Letâs meet again another day.â
âBrother Lin, donât leave yet. We only made a verbal agreement, we havenât signed the contract yet.â
âDo we still need to sign the contract? Do you still not trust my character?â
Cao Xiangyu laughed coldly in his heart.
âI really donât f*cking trust you!â
âOf course I trust Brother Linâs character, but this is the companyâs rule. Thereâs nothing I can do about it.â
âAlright then, when do you want to sign the contract?â
âIâve already prepared it. Letâs just sign it now.â
At the same time, Cao Xiangyuâs secretary took out her laptop and began to revise the contract that she had prepared beforehand. Then, she left to print two copies.
âBrother Lin, the contract is here. You just need to sign your name.â
âNo problem.â
Lin Yi waved the pen and signed his name on the contract.
âBrother Cao, can I leave now? There are a few guys waiting for me at the bar. I canât miss tonightâs show.â
âSince Brother Lin has something to do, I wonât force you to stay. Iâll send you off.â
âNo need, no need. Iâm not an outsider. I can leave by myself.â
âThen I wonât stand on ceremony with you.â
âWeâre all on the same side. Thereâs no need to stand on ceremony.â
Lin Yi left happily with the check for 500,000 yuan.
Cao Xiangyu sat back in his chair and lit up a cigarette.
âI thought it would take more effort to take him down, but I didnât expect a mere check for 500,000 yuan to do the job. I really overestimated him.â
âAlthough he has Sci-Tech, Wang Tianlong clearly chose the wrong person to manage it. With such a brother-in-law around, sooner or later he will be cheated to death,â Cao Xiangyuâs secretary said.
âThatâs true, but itâs also beneficial to us,â Cao Xiangyu said.
âAt the very least, the problem surrounding the contract manufacturing has been solved. Moreover, this is just a tentative cooperation. If there are no problems, we still need to increase the intensity of our sub-manufacturing. This will be good for Cisco.â
âBut negotiating with such a fool and offering him 100 yuan a piece to sub-manufacture is a pretty good price.â
âDo you really think Iâd give him so much money?â Cao Xiangyu said disdainfully.
âHow are you going to escape payment?â
âDidnât we agree just now? Throughout the contract manufacturing period, our side will pay the labor fee and settle the net profit at the end.â Cao Xiangyu flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said.
âWhen we settle, I will claim that the labor cost was very high. The 10 million was all spent on labor. After that, Iâll give him a few dozen thousand yuan and he will be satisfied.â
âPresident Cao, your methods are really good. Fortunately, I added this clause to the contract just now. Even if there is a dispute, they have no choice but to shoulder this loss.â
âThatâs what I think.â Cao Xiangyu crossed his legs and said.
âBased on the current situation, Sci-Tech has already become our second factory. Moreover, we donât have to spend a single cent more. What a wonderful deal.â
The secretary walked behind Cao Xiangyu and massaged his shoulders.
âNot only did he help us solve the problem regarding our insufficient production capacity, but Sci-Tech also has enough warehouses to store our goods. I feel that even God is helping us.â
Cao Xiangyu closed his eyes comfortably and he said in satisfaction,
âThis time, I must show some achievements. I have to make my father see that I, Cao Xiangyu, am the truly capable one. The person who took over Cisco, that little b*tch, hasnât even started teething yet. How can she compare to me?!â
âThen what should we do next? Should we inform Chairman Cao of this good news as soon as possible?â
âNot for the time being. When the time comes, I want to give him a big surprise. I want to completely take back my dominant position in the Cao family. I want to ruthlessly trample everyone else under my feet!â
âThatâs a good idea. Itâs wonât be too late to give him this news after all the contract manufacturing business at Sci-Tech has stabilized.â
âThatâs right, thatâs also what I was thinking.â
Cao Xiangyu stepped on the cigarette butt and stretched lazily.
âCall the waiter over to settle the bill. Iâve already found the hotel where you and I can have some extra ârelaxationâ.â
âMmm, Iâm a little impatient too.â
A few minutes later, the waiter walked in.
âSir, your total bill this time is 426,800 yuan. We accept both bank transfer and card payment. Which do you prefer?â
âWhat did you say? This meal cost more than 400,000 yuan?â
Cao Xiangyu could not sit still.
âI calculated just now. This meal is at most 200,000 yuan. How can it now be twice as expensive?!â
âThat gentleman just now took two bottles of Chateau Latour with him before he left.â
