Chapter 152 - 147: Looking After the Store
So, after much contemplation, Zeng Weiguo came up with an idea and said to Fang Pingying, "Pingying, what do you think about this?"
He paused briefly, then continued, "I will find you a shop for half a year, during which I will take care of the rent. You just need to buy the ingredients and make the cakes, and I won’t take any share from the sales."
"However, you need to sign a contract with me. If I want the management rights to your cakes within these six months, you must give me priority and cannot sign with others or sell them elsewhere first. If you give them to me, I will sell them in my department store. As for the profit sharing, we can discuss the specifics later."
"Selling them in a department store?" Fang Pingying was skeptical, feeling that it might not reach that stage within six months, and breaking into the market with a new brand wouldn’t be so easy.
Zeng Weiguo noticed her doubts and explained with a smile, "Of course, if we do sign a contract later, I will repackage your cakes and sell them officially. Just like this won’t work, even if the quality is excellent, if the grade does not match, people won’t want to buy it."
Fang Pingying saw that her Uncle Xiao Juzi, although shrewd in business, seemed reliable and sincere. By offering the shop himself, he was clearly showing his sincerity.
This was a temporary contract, and Fang Pingying was willing to sign with him, but she couldn’t speak as definitively as he did, giving him priority over the management rights in the future would not be a problem.
But the condition was his offer must be at least the same as what others would offer. Obviously, she couldn’t prioritize him if his offer was worse than others.
Fang Pingying also discussed some details with him, such as what she mentioned was only about the management rights, and if anything else came up later, they would have to negotiate separately and be clear about these details in the contract.
