Reborn in the 80s, Get Rich by Eating Melons

Chapter 578: Chapter 578: She is the Biggest Shareholder Behind The Scenes.

Even though Fu Sen was tempted already, he still, in keeping with his nature as a businessman, showed disinterest and asked, "If you can ensure at least one thousand pieces per month, cooperation wouldn’t be out of the question. By the way, what are these other small items you mentioned?"

This time Si Chen didn’t give a direct answer, and instead introduced Gu Hongwei and Guo Jinnian, "As you know, I’m a doctor and this is a business my wife and her friend are running. My wife is currently pregnant, so from now on Gu Hongwei and Guo Jinnian will be in charge of this area. Perhaps you could discuss it further."

Si Chen’s main role this time was that of a middleman. Therefore, he had to introduce Gu Hongwei and Guo Jinnian to Fu Sen and get them talking.

Upon hearing this, Fu Sen turned to look at Gu Hongwei, then smiled and said, "Mr. Gu appears young, it’s impressive to see him doing business so early. Young people are indeed to be feared! Mr. Gu, would you please explain in more detail?"

Gu Hongwei was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Fu Sen to switch topics to him so quickly after speaking with Si Chen. It was clear that Fu Sen was a prominent figure in business. Si Chen had mentioned his astute business acumen.

Si Chen had warned them the previous night not to play mind games with Fu Sen as they wouldn’t win. It was better to be honest and give the impression of a serious, steady business person.

With this thought, Gu Hongwei replied, "Mr. Fu, to be honest, this is our first time managing something of this scale and we are still in the testing phase. I don’t know exactly what goods our team will bring back this time. But one thing I am certain of: as long as there are no issues along the way, delivering one thousand pieces of clothing will not be a problem."

Fu Sen hadn’t expected such frankness from Gu Hongwei. He presumed it to be Gu’s lack of business experience and naivety. If Gu had attempted to play mind games, Fu Sen had plenty of ways to respond.

Meeting such straightforwardness now, he didn’t know which strategy to use, so decided not to play games and said, "Mr. Gu, I can see your sincerity and I trust Dr. Si’s character. Business introduced by him will definitely be fine. When the goods arrive, you can contact me to verify them. If this deal goes through, we can then decide on the future. As for the price, I don’t think you will be unreasonable. These items have clear market prices, so we can trade at a normal price. What do you think?"

It has to be said, Fu Sen is very skilled at negotiation; no wonder Si Chen rated him highly.

Gu Hongwei and Tong Yao exchanged glances. On seeing Tong Yao nod slightly, he replied, "Mr. Fu, I have no objections."

Fu Sen had noticed the communication between Gu Hongwei and Tong Yao. He couldn’t help but give Tong Yao an extra glance. His mouth curled into a subtle smile and he said, "Then let’s settle on this. Everyone should stop standing around, let’s have breakfast."

Although Tong Yao hadn’t spoken, she observed Fu Sen carefully. This man really was extraordinary. Describing him as a business genius wouldn’t be an exaggeration. At present, they were no match for him.

Luckily, they didn’t have any business conflicts with Fu Sen, otherwise, given his strength and intelligence, they’d be left gasping for breath.

Guo Jinnian stayed silent throughout. She could manage when dealing with small business in her hometown, but in this situation, she felt like a wallflower. She was relieved that Fu Sen had talked business with Gu Hongwei and not her, otherwise she would have messed things up.

She couldn’t come along next time they were discussing business, otherwise she would be more of a hindrance than help. This was not an ordinary breakfast for just anyone.

The breakfast here was delicious, with a variety of food to choose from, definitely worth the price.

Guo Jinnian didn’t hold back, in order to get her money’s worth. Tong Yao also had a good appetite, and the two were happily eating. They seemed to just provide a backdrop, leaving the business matters to the three men.

During a break, while Tong Yao was choosing breakfast with Guo Jinnian, Fu Sen jokingly said, "Dr. Si, you’ve got yourself a good wife."

Si Chen gave a light smile and nodded, responding, "Lucky in three lifetimes."

On hearing this, Fu Sen laughed again, glanced at his watch and stood up saying, "Dr. Si, I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first. You all enjoy your breakfast, the food here is really good."

After speaking, he handed out his business card to Gu Hongwei, "Mr. Gu, call this number when the goods arrive."

Gu Hongwei accepted the card, "Mr. Fu, until next time."

Gu Hongwei watched Fu Sen leave, finally letting his excitement show on his face. He looked at Si Chen, "Brother Chen, does this mean we’ve succeeded?"

Si Chen nodded, "Fu Sen is used to doing big business. His willingness to inspect the goods signifies interest. As long as there are no problems with the merchandise, this path will open."

Upon receiving Si Chen’s confirmation, Gu Hongwei finally felt relieved. He had done his best to hide his feelings as he had little experience in business negotiations. Facing a major business figure like Fu Sen made him feel green. But he was grateful for the support of Si Chen and Tong Yao.

Tong Yao returned with her breakfast tray and noted Fu Sen’s absence, "Mr. Fu left?"

Si Chen replied with a nod and a rare tease, "He felt his presence was affecting our enjoyment of breakfast, so he left early."

Guo Jinnian, who had just joined them, nodded in agreement, "Indeed, with him around I felt awkward eating too much, worrying about maintaining appearances."

Gu Hongwei’s mouth twitched – Guo Jinnian didn’t seem to have eaten too little.

Three tea eggs, two buns, two sticks of fried dough and a cup of soy milk. She had just brought over another large plate of food - this was her version of not eating too much?

Tong Yao was also amused by Guo Jinnian’s comment, and said while squinting her eyes, "Now that he’s left, we don’t have to worry about appearances. Eat whatever you want! After breakfast, we can visit my parents at the breeding farm."

On hearing this, Guo Jinnian was overjoyed and began to eat happily. What was originally supposed to be a business meeting had now turned into a food outing.

There were many types of breakfast available here, even roast pork. Both Gu Hongwei and Si Chen’s appetites got better.

Upon learning that Fu Sen had left a business card when he left, Tong Yao’s face lit up with a bright smile, "It seems that we’ve now opened this channel, and one of the biggest things on our minds has been resolved."

As long as they handle the goods and sell them, they can make a good sum of money. It can be considered the most ideal and efficient way to make a profit.

On this thought, Tong Yao praised, "Hongwei, your performance just now was quite good."

She felt that she had almost trained Gu Hongwei. Once he matures in his role, she’ll be able to sit back and collect her shares from behind the scenes.

The Tong Yao of this life is not aware that the Hengfei Group run by Gu Hongwei in her previous life had her as the biggest backstage shareholder.
