Chapter 560 - Differences in Cooperation
Chapter 560 – Differences in Cooperation
Boss Pang and Xiao Lingyu came to the general manager’s office.
“Boss Pang, please have a seat!” Xiao Lingyu spoke to him politely after they arrived at the office. “Boss Pang must already know I am the real boss of this supermarket.”
Xiao Lingyu did not beat around the bush with him. She only continued, “Previously, you said that you wanted to discuss business cooperation with Boss Zeng. Boss Pang, what kind of cooperation do you have in mind?”
When Boss Pang heard this, his face lit up with joy, and his heart was filled with joy. The negotiation was very promising. Boss Pang calmed himself down and said, “Since Boss…” he did not know how to address Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu smiled and introduced herself, “My surname is Xiao, and my name is Xiao Lingyu.”
Boss Pang said very seriously, “Since Boss Xiao has said so, then I’ll get straight to the point. The main reason I’m here is to buy organic vegetables from your farm in Taoyuan Village.”
The revival of the Zeng Family’s vegetable shop and the expansion of the Jun Hao hotel had stirred up the people in the food business. They all wanted a piece of the pie.
Earlier, someone had exposed the source of these vegetables online, so many bosses went to Taoyuan Village to broker a contact. However, they all came back rejected. It was very strange. No matter how good the deal was, they were rejected.
Later, when they turned their sights on the Zeng family’s vegetable shop, the products were already booked by the other hotels and restaurants. It was useless no matter how upset they were.
However, the thing that puzzled them the most was why the family who owned Green Fresh refused to deal with them. They didn’t even want to see them.
They didn’t know that the Xiao Family had a big accident with Gong Tianhao being in a coma. Everyone was too sad to have a business meeting. These people were too unlucky.
Later, when they found out the boss would open another vegetable supermarket, their hope was reignited. Of course, some only found out when they saw the flyers. In any case, they all waited for the shop to open.
Xiao Lingyu said seriously, “Boss Pang, I’m sure that you’ve heard that I only work with Zeng Family’s vegetable shop and Jun Hao hotel, right?”
Boss Pang must have done his homework before coming here. He nodded and said, “Yes, I’ve heard of it.”
“Alright, I’ll tell you the truth,” Xiao Lingyu said, “This cooperation with the vegetable farm is impossible.”
Boss Pang immediately asked in confusion, “Why? Didn’t you grow your crops for sale? Why don’t you want big cooperation?”
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “I have other plans.”
Boss Pang, “…” this is getting stranger and stranger.
However, Boss Pang was smart enough not to ask further.
He just looked at Xiao Lingyu and continued to listen. “However, while you can’t cooperate with Green Fresh Farm, you can cooperate with our supermarket.” Xiao Lingyu said, “Boss Pang, you must have heard the details of this cooperation deal already, right?”
Boss Pang was slightly stunned, then he nodded and said, “Yes!”
Xiao Lingyu nodded and continued, “Boss Pang, my supermarket will cooperate with other businesses like how Boss Zeng from Zeng Family’s vegetable shop cooperates with the other business people. No matter how much you buy, the price will be similar to the retail price. The price won’t go higher or lower.” She was also a major shareholder of Zeng Family’s vegetable store.
Boss Pang was confused by Xiao Lingyu’s arrogant and independent way.
He did not understand at all. What was the difference between working with the farm and the supermarket? She owned both of them.
However, it soon came to Boss Pang.
He could not help but sigh softly.
So there was really a difference.
The difference was that Boss Xiao owned the farm alone, but she shared the company with others. She would use shares of the company to reward those outstanding executives and employees. All the benefits of the supermarket were not hers alone. And as a business, she had to consider the interests of the shareholders.
“Boss Pang, if you want to cooperate with the supermarket, the prices of those things sold to you will be exactly the same as the prices of the supermarket,” Xiao Lingyu said truthfully. “I hope you will consider this carefully.”
Boss Pang frowned and said, “Boss Xiao, there’s no need for consideration. I will definitely agree.” The business was hard. He had no choice but to agree.
The price of these vegetables was a little expensive, but the things sold in the hotel were not cheap either. He could increase the prices, so there was no problem at all.
Xiao Lingyu held a pen and said, “Boss Pang, don’t agree just yet. The vegetables in our supermarket are different from those in Zeng Family’s vegetable shop. Our products are divided into three levels. The price of each level was different. As for the different pricing, I suggest Boss Pang go and find out yourself. Then we can talk about the cooperation, how about it?”
“Alright!” Boss Pang was also very responsible.

This negotiation was very different. Normally, the farmers had to come to beg the hotels and food companies to buy their crops, but this time, it was the other way round.
It couldn’t be helped. Boss Xiao was the overlord in this industry. Her vegetables could greatly improve a business’ profit. No one wanted to fall behind.
Not long after Boss Pang left, Secretary Wang, Yan Siming’s righthand man, came over.
Secretary Wang said, “Miss Xiao, this is the information on the businesses in the food industry that Chairman Yan asked me to send you.”
Secretary Wang handed the folder in his hand to Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu took it and thanked him. “Thank you!”
Secretary Wang said, “If Miss Xiao has any questions, feel free to call me!”
With that, Secretary Wang handed Xiao Lingyu a business card!
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Thank you!”
Secretary Wang said, “Miss Xiao, if you need any help in City Z, feel free to ask. I have some connections in City Z too.”
Xiao Lingyu thanked him again.
No matter if he was sincere or just saying it out of courtesy, he had given Xiao Lingyu enough face.
After Secretary Wang left, Xiao Lingyu flipped through the documents and started reading.
The documents that Secretary Wang sent over were very detailed. Not only were there introductions of the various businesses, as well as information about their reputation, but there were also introductions of the legal persons of the various businesses, as well as information about the person-in-charge.
Xiao Lingyu didn’t question the authenticity of the information. Neither Yan Siming nor Secretary Wang had a reason to scam her.
After flipping through these documents, she picked up a pen and sifted through them. She had a rough idea in her mind. She put down the pen and locked the documents in the drawer.
Then, she went out to check.
Xiao Lingyu saw Mother Xiao carrying Tong ‘Er and talking to her grandparents in the corridor.
Grandmother Xiao saw Xiao Lingyu coming out and said with a wide smile, “Yu ‘Er, I didn’t expect the supermarket to have such a good business on the first day of opening.”
Grandpa Xiao, who was beside her, laughed and retorted, “Old Woman, you’re the only one who’s worried. All you’ve been saying is, what if the things can’t sell?”
Grandmother Xiao also laughed and retorted, “Old man, don’t you talk about me. Don’t think I didn’t notice how worried you were too.”
Grandpa Xiao smiled and said, “I wasn’t worried. I never worry about my granddaughter. I know she will prevail.”
“Yes, you’re right. Our grandchildren will always be successful.” Grandma Xiao echoed
Xiao Lingyu, “…” she was a little embarrassed.
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “Grandpa, Grandma, I’ll go out and take a look. You guys can chat here or go back to the guest room.”
Grandma Xiao shook her head and said, “We don’t need to rest. How about we go with you?”
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Okay, but you have to be careful. There are many people.”
“Okay!”
…
“There are quite a lot of things sold here. This supermarket looks so big, but it fills up very nicely with so many selections.”
“There are peanuts, red beans, soybeans, corn, and so on. I heard from the supermarket staff that they are all local products. I wonder if these things are as delicious as the other vegetables.”
“It’s a shame that these things are raw and can’t be tasted.”
“Have you tried the tofu? It’s really delicious!”
