541: Logistics and distribution model

Hearing Feng Zhiwen say there was no problem with selling the recipe, Ye Su knew that the only issue would definitely be the price.

Coincidentally, problems that could be solved with money weren't much of a problem for the current Ye Su.

"Since you do sell this recipe, I want to know what price you usually sell it for?"

Ye Su spoke frankly, and Feng Zhiwen didn't beat around the bush either, holding up five fingers.

"When I take on apprentices, I teach them everything from the recipe to how to open a shop for fifty thousand yuan per person. If I'm just selling you the recipe, I can knock off ten thousand yuan, as a way of making friends with you, Boss Ye."

Even without having Feng Zhiwen teach how to open a shop, he only discounted it by ten thousand yuan; it sounded a bit expensive.

But Ye Su also understood that while he said he'd teach apprentices how to open a shop, the most important part was Feng Zhiwen's recipe for the Barbecue Sauce.

Buying the recipe alone now and getting a ten-thousand-yuan discount from Feng Zhiwen was already considered a great deal.

Understanding this, Ye Su didn't haggle and readily nodded in agreement.

"No problem, forty thousand yuan it is. It's a pleasure doing business with you."

Seeing Ye Su agree so readily, Feng Zhiwen even wondered if he had sold the recipe too cheaply.

But on second thought, rather than selling it for another ten or twenty thousand more, it was better to take this opportunity to befriend Ye Su, and Feng Zhiwen felt at ease.

"Boss Ye is indeed straightforward in business. Then it's settled. I'll go print a contract; please wait here for a moment."

"Please, go ahead."

"Take whatever you want to drink; just put it on my tab."

"Alright."

After saying that, Feng Zhiwen stood up and left, leaving Ye Su alone in the shop to play on his phone.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, Feng Zhiwen walked quickly toward Ye Su with two copies of the contract.

"This is the Technology Transfer Contract. Take a look and see if there are any issues with the clauses; we can communicate and revise them."

"Mhm."

A contract was no joking matter, so Ye Su didn't bother with empty pleasantries. After taking the contract, he carefully reviewed it line by line.

After spending a few minutes ensuring there were no traps in the contract, Ye Su nodded to Feng Zhiwen and then signed and sealed the document.

Once Feng Zhiwen had also pressed his thumbprint, Ye Su transferred the forty thousand yuan to him on the spot.

"Boss Ye, the ingredients and ratios for the recipe are all here. I'll also send you the instructional video for making the sauce. If there's anything you don't understand later, you can video call me anytime."

"Alright, I'll have to trouble you then, Boss Feng."

"Haha, it's no trouble. Since I've taken your money, my after-sales service has to be up to par."

Taking the recipe, Ye Su opened it and glanced through; it was densely packed with about 20 different ingredients.

Besides common spices like star anise, cinnamon, and Sichuan peppercorns, Feng Zhiwen had also added less common ingredients like lemon juice, apples, and fragrant pears.

He also added honey and maltose to neutralize the acidity of the fruit.

It was precisely this unique ratio of ingredients that made the Barbecue Sauce at Xingfu Barbecue Restaurant taste so distinct.

[Ding!]

While Ye Su was looking at the ingredient list, the system prompt arrived, albeit late.

[Congratulations, Host, on successfully purchasing the Barbecue Sauce recipe. Next, the "Sauce Processing Factory" function will be unlocked for the Host. Please wait...]

Seeing the system prompt, Ye Su was delighted again. He then tucked away the contract and the Barbecue Sauce recipe, standing up to bid Feng Zhiwen farewell.

"It's about time. If there's nothing else, I'll be heading out."

"Alright." Feng Zhiwen also stood up. "I'll see you out."

Ye Su quickly gestured for him to stay. "No need, my car is parked right at the entrance."

"It's fine." Feng Zhiwen insisted on seeing him off.

Helpless, Ye Su had no choice but to walk out with Feng Zhiwen.

When he saw with his own eyes that Ye Su got into the Lamborghini parked at the door, an "as expected" expression appeared on Feng Zhiwen's face.

"The ID card he put on the contract says he's only 21, yet he can afford a car like this. I really wonder what his family does!"

Feng Zhiwen didn't think Ye Su could have started from scratch at this age, driving a car worth millions and wearing a watch worth millions on his own.

If it weren't for his family, how could he afford these things in his twenties?

"Sigh." Feng Zhiwen sighed. "Some people are just born lucky; they have everything from the moment they're born."

While sighing, Feng Zhiwen left the barbecue restaurant to put away the signed contract... Ye Su didn't know he had been mistaken for a rich second-generation heir again.

Just as he was transferring money to Feng Zhiwen, he also received a message from Wang Yuanjia saying the authorization contract was ready and he could come over to sign it.

So after leaving the barbecue restaurant, Ye Su first returned to Tenglong Real Estate. After signing the authorization contract, he took both contracts home.

Back in his room, after locking the two contracts in a cabinet, Ye Su summoned the system.

"Analyze the Barbecue Sauce recipe!"

[Analyzing the Barbecue Sauce recipe, please wait, Host...]

[Barbecue Sauce recipe analysis successful. The required ingredients for the Barbecue Sauce have been updated in the "Grocery Store." Please check for yourself, Host!]

Along with the prompt for the successful recipe analysis, the production process for the secret Barbecue Sauce automatically appeared in Ye Su's mind.

This made Ye Su feel as if he had already brewed the Barbecue Sauce hundreds of times, becoming quite proficient.

However, having completed the intelligence's hidden easter egg and now having activated the "Sauce Processing Factory" function, Ye Su didn't need to brew the sauce himself.

"Let's see what functions the 'Sauce Processing Factory' has."

Mumbling to himself, Ye Su switched the system interface to the function introduction page of the "Sauce Processing Factory."

["Sauce Processing Factory" Function Introduction:]

[Function 1: The processing factory can automatically produce the corresponding sauces based on the system-level sauce recipes the Host has mastered. Besides the cost of required materials and packaging, the Host needs to pay a one-yuan processing fee for every 100 grams of sauce!]

[Function 2: The processing factory can provide a logistics delivery mode. Once sauce processing is complete, the Host can pay logistics fees to drop off the sauce packages at a logistics company, which will then deliver them to the designated location!]

[Function 3: The processing factory can provide a designated location refresh mode. The Host can rent a warehouse and set it as a refresh point; the processed sauce will automatically refresh in the warehouse when no one is around!]

[Note: For all expenses incurred using the "Sauce Processing Factory," the system will issue corresponding invoices, which the Host can use for company tax deductions!]

"Only one yuan in processing fees for 100 grams of sauce? This is much cheaper than renting a factory, buying equipment, and hiring people to brew the sauce!"

"As for this logistics delivery mode and designated location refresh mode..."

Ye Su thought about it and felt it was better to just use the "delivery mode."

It would save him from having to rent a warehouse and then find someone to transport the shacha sauce and Barbecue Sauce to the various stores after they refreshed there.

"All expenses can be invoiced; this function is just too practical!"

With a thought, Ye Su immediately produced 20 catties of shacha sauce and then used the "logistics delivery mode," filling in the delivery address for the Beef Hot Pot Restaurant in Yangcheng.

[Deduction successful. Logistics information has been generated. Delivery is expected to be completed in one hour. Please check for it, Host!]
