540: Do you sell your formula?
Ye Su was looking to buy 20 apartment units from him. Although they were all cheap, unfinished properties, Ye Su was buying large units, which made it worthwhile.
Adding up all 20 units, the commission would likely be over 100,000.
Wang Yuanjia would never give up such a large commission, no matter what.
Ye Su also understood that Wang Yuanjia wanted to secure this month's commission, so naturally, he wouldn't refuse his request just to complete the task:
"No problem. I can hold out for a while. Just contact me when you've finished handling things over there."
"Thanks!" Wang Yuanjia raised his drink: "I won't say anything else, I'll finish it!"
"Bottoms up..."
Ye Su shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to pick up his glass and clink it with Wang Yuanjia's.
[Ding!]
The moment the two glasses touched, the system notification sound rang out.
[Congratulations Host for completing the [hidden task - Using People Wisely], the task reward will now be distributed to the Host!]
[Task Reward: 1 million in cash, Mysterious Surprise Item - Upgrade Voucher (one)!]
"Huh?"
Seeing the task completion notification, Ye Su was somewhat surprised.
Having just heard Wang Yuanjia say he wouldn't be able to start his job in Yangcheng until next month, he had assumed the task would only be completed when Wang Yuanjia signed the contract.
He didn't expect that simply clinking glasses would complete the task.
While taking a sip of his drink, Ye Su flipped over his phone screen, unlocked it, and took a look.
[Industrial and Commercial Bank of China: Your card ending in 9539 received a transfer of 1,000,000 yuan on July 14th at 14:43. The current balance is 27,370,921 yuan.]
"1 million, that's not bad. At the very least, it can cover the cost of two apartments at Purple Imperial Garden."
This unexpected gain put Ye Su in a great mood, and even the barbecue tasted a bit better.
Both of them were young men in their early twenties, at an age with good digestion.
Although they had both eaten lunch, they still spent over half an hour eating the barbecue before they both let out satisfied burps.
When it was time to pay, Wang Yuanjia, knowing the ways of the world, took the initiative to pay the bill.
First, he had given him a big order of 20 apartments, and then he had given him a stable job.
For a barbecue meal costing just over a hundred yuan, Ye Su didn't fight him for it and let Wang Yuanjia scan the code to pay.
"Bill paid, let's go."
Just as Wang Yuanjia showed the payment page to the cashier and signaled for Ye Su to leave, Ye Su reached out to stop him and asked the cashier:
"Hello, may I ask if your boss is in the store?"
"You're looking for our boss?"
The cashier frowned upon hearing this, thinking there was a problem with the barbecue and that Ye Su was preparing to complain to the boss.
Wang Yuanjia was also a bit confused, not knowing why Ye Su was suddenly looking for the owner of the Barbecue Restaurant.
"Yes."
"May I ask what you are looking for our boss for?"
Worried about causing unnecessary misunderstandings, Ye Su stated his intention directly:
"I just tried your barbecue, and I felt the sauce you used tasted very good. So I want to find your boss and ask if they are selling the recipe for the Barbecue Sauce."
"Oh, so you want to buy the Barbecue Sauce recipe." The cashier suddenly realized: "Wait a moment, our boss should be nearby. I'll tell him right now."
While the cashier was contacting the boss, Wan Yuanliang leaned in toward Ye Su and asked in confusion:
"Everything is fine, why are you buying a Barbecue Sauce recipe?"
"I have a Beef Hot Pot Restaurant brand in Yangcheng. I just felt that the Barbecue Sauce at this shop tasted good, so I want to buy the recipe and add a Barbecue Restaurant business later."
After listening to Ye Su's explanation, Wang Yuanjia gave a thumbs up: "I'm impressed. You can even find business opportunities while eating barbecue!"
He now understood a little bit about how Ye Su had amassed tens of millions in wealth before even graduating.
It was the same barbecue meal, but after eating it, he only thought the price was affordable and the taste was good.
Yet, after eating, the other person immediately realized they could buy the Barbecue Sauce recipe and try to see if they could do this business themselves.
With such a business mind, it's no wonder he can make money.
Next month, when he joins his company to work, he must learn more experience from him, striving to turn things around and become a boss in the future.
Regarding Wang Yuanjia's flattery, Ye Su just smiled it off:
"I might have to talk to the boss about buying the recipe in a moment. Do you want to wait for me to go back together, or do you have something to do and need to leave first?"
"I'll go back and prepare the contract, and try to get it done quickly."
"OK."
After the two said goodbye, Wang Yuanjia had just left the Barbecue Restaurant when a middle-aged man walked in with long strides.
"Boss."
Hearing the cashier's greeting, Ye Su turned his head and happened to lock eyes with the boss who had just entered.
"Hello."
"Hello."
Facing the right hand Ye Su extended, Feng Zhiwen shook it enthusiastically, while also casting a subtle glance at Ye Su's left hand.
The watch Ye Su was wearing today was the one rewarded from the hidden task, a Patek Philippe 6104G-001 platinum Celestial model worth over 5 million.
With just one glance, Feng Zhiwen recognized the model and price of this watch from the blue starry dial.
A Patek Philippe worth over 5 million!
The reason Feng Zhiwen came so quickly was because he was just at the entrance of the store earlier, watching the Lamborghini that Ye Su had parked outside, curious about who had parked this car at his store entrance.
If someone accidentally scratched it, they would probably need a year or two of income to pay for it!
Now recognizing the Patek Philippe on Ye Su's wrist, Feng Zhiwen suspected that the Lamborghini was indeed driven here by the young man in front of him.
"My surname is Ye, call me Ye Su."
Upon hearing this, Feng Zhiwen withdrew his gaze from the watch and also introduced himself:
"My name is Feng Zhiwen, I am the boss of Xingfu Barbecue Restaurant. I heard you want to buy my Barbecue Restaurant recipe, right?"
"Yes."
Suspecting that Ye Su was almost certainly a rich second generation who wore a Patek Philippe and drove a Lamborghini, Feng Zhiwen didn't dare to be negligent and made a gesture of invitation:
"Then let's go over to the side to talk."
"Sure."
Led by Feng Zhiwen, the two arrived at an empty table in the corner.
Once seated, Ye Su got straight to the point:
"Boss Feng, I work in the catering industry in Yangcheng. Currently, I only have a Beef Hot Pot Restaurant business. I came here to eat with a friend today and felt that your Barbecue Sauce had a very unique taste; it must be something you concocted yourself."
"So I want to buy the recipe from you to expand my catering business. I wonder if you are selling your recipe?"
"Selling the recipe is no problem. I have taken on two apprentices before, and now they have all gone to other places to open Barbecue Restaurants. I hear their business is quite good."
Feng Zhiwen had self-awareness; he never thought he could create a national chain catering brand and only wanted to guard this small territory in Yang County.
Under these circumstances, relying on the Barbecue Sauce recipe to take on a few more apprentices could also provide an extra source of income.
Of course, in order to ensure that the situation of [teaching the apprentice and starving the master] would not happen, he would also explicitly state in the contract that after the apprentice finished their training, they were not allowed to open a store within five kilometers of the Xingfu Barbecue Restaurant.
