Chapter 549: Long-Term Cooperation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Long Ke felt embarrassed and quickly glanced at Mei Shu. “Where did I say wrong?”
Ye Yan smiled and said, “Uncle, the reason President Mei chose to cooperate with you is that you happen to have a batch of packaging materials that she wants. But if you take advantage of this opportunity to increase your profit share, you might not get such a big deal next time.”
“What do you mean?” Long Ke glared at Ye Yan with restrained anger. If he couldn’t say something satisfactory, after signing the contract, he would discipline this unruly brat well!
Ye Yan noticed his uncle’s anger but still said nonchalantly. “This time, we’ll only take the rightful twenty percent profit in exchange for a five-year long-term cooperation with President Mei.”
Even Mei Shu couldn’t help but narrow her eyes at this proposal.
Why did this scheme sound so familiar to her?
“What does Mr. Long think?” Mei Shu turned to look at him.
Long Ke’s shrewd eyes flickered as he thought for a moment before solemnly nodding in agreement, “If President Mei’s future orders can bring in billions, then Longsheng Group is willing to sign a long-term cooperation agreement with you.”
Mei Shu took the contract from him, intentionally prolonging the consideration time.
Even Long Ke began to feel nervous.
He had to admit that Ye Yan’s approach was genuinely considerate of Longsheng Group’s long-term interests. However, if he offended Mei Shu and made her feel that he was too greedy, jeopardizing this cooperation, it would be a big loss.
Everyone knew that Mei Shu now had the support of the Si Family. Building a good relationship with her for long-term cooperation would only bring benefits and no harm!
The office fell into silence.
Long Ke nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva and was about to speak hesitantly when the silent atmosphere was broken by Ye Yan’s voice.
“President Mei, you don’t need to consider too much. Although my uncle’s Longsheng Group may not be the largest in scale, it enjoys a good reputation in the industry. Cooperating with my uncle not only ensures one hundred percent quality assurance but also maximizes profits. It’s a win-win situation for the Mei family.”
“Although that’s the case,” Mei Shu said casually, “I feel that if we’re going to cooperate long-term, we need to add another condition.”
Ye Yan smiled unconcernedly. “Please, go ahead, Mei Shu.”
Mei Shu smirked, “Since it’s a long-term cooperation, product quality cannot rely solely on words. In the future, the final products produced through our cooperation must undergo rigorous inspections by both parties. If I find that Longsheng has cut corners and does not meet the standards, Longsheng’s profits will be reduced by ten percent each year, and they will bear all losses. If the same happens the next year, it will accumulate to twenty percent, and so on. Do you agree?”
Her approach indeed safeguarded the final product quality for the next few years.
Long Ke was confident in his factory’s craftsmanship and felt it was reasonable. He nodded solemnly, “Good, business should be based on integrity. We are willing to sign such a contract with you, President Mei.”
“Then, 1 wish us a pleasant cooperation in the future.” Mei Shu handed the contract to Tang Mei. “Draw up a new contract immediately. I want to sign a five-year agreement with Longsheng Group.”
“Okay, Mei Shu.” Tang Mei happily went downstairs to get it done.
Thanks to Ye Yan’s intervention just now, the Mei family not only increased their profit share but also successfully reached a long-term cooperation agreement with Longsheng. This was a great thing for the Mei family.
Soon, she returned with the revised contract.
“Mei Shu, it’s all set…” Before the sentence was finished, Tang Mei froze at the door, unable to spit out the rest of the words.
During her absence, Ye Yan had somehow sat next to Mei Shu, his long arm casually draped over the back of her chair.
From her angle, it almost looked like Ye Yan had taken the initiative to hold her into his embrace.
Mei Shu heard the commotion and turned her head casually. “Take it to Mr. Long for his review.”
“Yes.” Tang Mei shook off her stunned expression and quickly walked over.
After carefully checking the contract, Long Ke signed his name at the end with satisfaction.
Then Tang Mei handed the contract to Mei Shu.
Ye Yan took the pen from Long Ke’s hand and put it into Mei Shu’s. “President Mei, didn’t you say last night that you’d treat me to dinner next time? How about now?”
Mei Shu quickly signed her name and tossed the contract to Tang Mei. She smiled wryly. “I have something to attend to. Let’s do it another day.”
Ye Yan showed a disappointed expression. “But 1 have another deal I want to discuss with you over dinner.”
At his words, Long Ke, who was sitting beside him, suddenly felt a sense of unease rising in his heart.
He quickly reached out and pulled his nephew’s sleeve, dragging him back to his side. He stood up and said, “President Mei, let’s leave it at that for today. We’ll take our leave now..”
