My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 461: Price Increase

President Cheng was relieved that he at least had a scapegoat.

The sound of Gu Zhengfu scolding the responsible parties still echoed in his ears.

But in a flash, he heard his own name.

President Cheng quickly came to his senses, turned his head to look at Gu Zhengfu, "CEO."

"Before, Hexing Rice tried to contact us, but you refused them," Gu Zhengfu said in a deep voice.

President Cheng felt a jolt in his heart and hurriedly said, "Hexing Rice wasn’t very well-known before, and I was worried about the risk of rashly introducing Hexing Rice being too great."

"This time I was too conservative in my actions," President Cheng admitted, bowing his head.

Gu Zhengfu looked at President Cheng for a long while, then suddenly snorted coldly, "Don’t think I don’t know, when Lu Youxi brought Hexing Rice to us, you didn’t take them seriously at all. It wasn’t just a matter of being worried about the risk, your attitude was extremely poor."

"Towards insignificant brands, the attitude is poor; towards big brands, the attitude is good," Gu Zhengfu said solemnly, "But how do you know those small brands won’t become big brands? Hexing Rice is the example!"

"Yes," President Cheng admitted his mistake without arguing.

Because he knew Gu Zhengfu’s temper; the more you argue, the angrier Gu Zhengfu gets.

"I did wrong this time," President Cheng said, his head lowered.

"Now that Hexing Rice is selling so well and the consumers have already recognized it. Even if we weren’t the first store to sell it, we can’t fall behind," Gu Zhengfu said, "You contact Lu Youxi right away and talk to her about bringing in Hexing Rice."

"This time there must be no mistakes, our supermarket must have Hexing Rice to sell no matter what!" Gu Zhengfu said sternly, "We can’t let Sincere Supermarket monopolize the market!"

"Yes."

President Cheng returned to his office and began to worry. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

He remembered clearly how arrogantly he had previously rejected Lu Youxi.

He also remembered that Lu Youxi had said that if they wanted to cooperate with Hexing Rice again in the future, she would raise the price.

At the time, he ridiculed Lu Youxi, thinking she was dreaming.

To think that he would initiate contact to buy rice?

And that she would raise the price?

Truly a young person with an inflated sense of self.

But he hadn’t expected this day to come so soon!

President Cheng sighed irritably, called his assistant, "Contact Hexing Rice, tell them our supermarket also wants to carry Hexing Rice."

"Yes," the assistant replied, while inwardly complaining.

Hexing Rice was different now; with your attitude, would they agree to you?

While thinking this, the assistant contacted Hexing Rice.

Yin Yiming was on the other side of the line.

He couldn’t get in touch with Lu Youxi or the village chief now.

Yin Yiming raised an eyebrow, surprised that the other party wanted to carry Hexing Rice.

"You’ll have to wait a moment, I need to check how much inventory we have of Hexing Rice," Yin Yiming said, "If we have it, we can supply your supermarket; if not, there’s really nothing I can do."

"Okay, our supermarket is very sincere, we don’t even need much inventory, just a little will do," the assistant was very humble now.

Although Yin Yiming did not go with Lu Youxi to talk to Jiayuexing,

He had heard from the village chief about Jiayuexing’s arrogance.

Especially now that Hexing Rice was selling so well, with the village chief walking with a stride in his step, there was a sense of exhaling pent-up frustration.

Now that Jiayuexing had taken the initiative to contact them, Yin Yiming knew that Lu Youxi and the village chief had a strong dislike for Jiayuexing, so he did not agree right away.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately went to seek instructions from Lu Youxi.

"There’s no problem with giving it to them, but as we discussed before, raise the price by 30%," Lu Youxi said, "Reply to them like that. If they can accept it, we can cooperate; if not, then forget it."

"Yes," Yin Yiming was delighted and couldn’t help but smile.

After the negotiations had failed between Lu Youxi and President Cheng, Lu Youxi had stated that if Jiayuexing wanted to cooperate with Hexing Rice in the future, there would definitely be a price increase.

They would not offer the first-round prices.

Of course, this applied not only to Jiayuexing but to other supermarkets as well.

Back then, President Cheng had even mocked Lu Youxi.

But now, it was truly their turn for a price increase on Hexing Rice!

"Boss," Yin Yiming said, "May I adopt a take-it-or-leave-it attitude?"

Lu Youxi looked up upon hearing this and saw Yin Yiming scratching his head, then he added, "Just be a bit more arrogant."

"Sure," Lu Youxi smiled and nodded, "Whatever attitude President Cheng had towards us, you can adopt the same."

"Alright!" Yin Yiming had been longing to unleash this pent-up irritation and, with Lu Youxi’s permission, immediately returned the call.

Following the discussion with Lu Youxi, he replied to President Cheng’s assistant, "This is the situation, our Hexing Rice is also in short supply, and Sincere Supermarket is often sold out. Moreover, our President Lu had already mentioned that it’s not because our Hexing Rice is cheap. But because Hexing Rice is a new brand, even though the quality is good, to facilitate cooperation at the start, we offered a preferential price to supermarkets in the first round of cooperation."

"For the second round of discussions for cooperation, we will revert to the original price," Yin Yiming said.

"How much is the original price?" The assistant was psychologically prepared, as last time Lu Youxi had stated that Jiayuexing would face a price increase if they wanted to cooperate with Hexing Rice in the future.

He just didn’t expect that Lu Youxi would really keep her word.

Say a price increase and an increase it is, with no pleasantries.

"It’s a 10% increase," Yin Yiming responded indifferently.

"This..." That’s too expensive!

"I’ll have to check with President Cheng," the assistant said, "I can’t make this decision on such a high price."

"Okay," Yin Yiming agreed briskly without any intention of compromise.

The assistant was taken aback by the firm response; Yin Yiming then said, "Actually, even at this original price, we are quite fair."

"This..." the assistant hesitated, "Can we negotiate the price a bit more?"

"Really, there’s no room for negotiation anymore. The price we offered to Sincere Supermarket was almost at cost," Yin Yiming said.

"Our President Lu said that even though our Hexing Rice was initially not well-known, the quality was there for all to see. So we offered an initial discount price, but we were confident that with our quality, we could establish a reputation and then return to the rightful price of our Hexing Rice."

"So, the price indeed cannot go down."

Heh, when our Hexing Rice initially approached you for cooperation, you acted high and mighty.

Now you’ve turned around and want to buy our rice?

Want to buy?

Sure!

We’re not saying we won’t sell to you, it’s just that the price has increased.

Let you know what missing the boat means.

President Cheng’s assistant picked up on Yin Yiming’s implication.

They weren’t lowering the price; it was take it or leave it.
