The Stepmother’s Counterattack: Raising a Child in a Bygone Era

"Factory Manager Shen, let’s not beat around the bush. I’ll take your entire batch of apple gummy candies for one yuan and eighty cents each, how about that?"

Pei Yang laughed, "Mr. Shi sure knows how to do business. Right off the bat, you’ve cut the price by nearly thirty percent."

Shi Guangsheng pulled out a pack of candy from his briefcase and smacked it onto the coffee table in front of Pei Yang.

Pei Yang picked up the candy, inspected it for a while, then tore open the seal and popped one into his mouth. His expression gradually grew more solemn.

The candy from Shi Guangsheng’s pack, aside from different packaging and brand name, was indistinguishable in taste, sweetness, and richness from their factory’s apple gummy candies.

"If you can make these apple gummies, so can my Xiyuan company, and at an even lower cost. I’m willing to take this whole truckload of candy at cost price, as a token of my sincerity," Shi Guangsheng said.

Pei Yang smiled, "Thanks for the offer, Mr. Shi, but no thanks, I’m planning to retail this batch of candies myself."

Rejected, Shi Guangsheng wasn’t surprised but his face took on a more sinister look.

"Factory Manager Shen, I’d advise you to reconsider. Rarity yields value. Your type of apple gummy candies will soon flood the market. With higher costs and higher sales prices than others, who will buy from you? What do you say?"

"Let’s not trouble Mr. Shi with these concerns. Please, see yourself out."
