Chapter 58

Lin Huaizhuo watched him pour the tea, tapping the table with his hand to express his gratitude. "I can drink it. Salty milk tea has less sugar, which is more suitable for people our age."

Shi Wen said, "You look like a fitness enthusiast; you're in great shape."

The two quickly closed the distance between them with just a few words.

Lin Huaizhuo to business. "Your sheep are really well-raised. I tasted some yesterday, and it's much better than those imported lambs."

Shi Wen listened attentively to what he had to say.

Lin Huaizhuo, and seeing that Shi Wen did not interrupt, he continued, "I wonder if you have found a sales channel? Have you considered selling the sheep in City B?"

Shi Wen said, "As long as we can sell at a reasonable price, we don't discriminate based on the customer's location."

Lin Huaizhuo and said, "That's true too. But City B is the capital after all, so it's relatively easier to offer competitive prices."

Lin Chengqian, listening from the side, was exhausted. "Second Uncle, stop beating around the bush. Just tell Brother Shi directly what price you can offer, and let Brother Shi consider you."

"You rascal," Lin Huaizhuo said helplessly to Shi Wen, "Then I'll be blunt. I can offer it for sixty-one catties. Shi Wen, are you interested?"

Yesterday, Lin Huaizhuo did some simple market research and also asked his friends. The prices of mid-to-high-end mutton that is not well-known are basically 60-70 yuan per catty, mid-range is 40-50 yuan, and low-end is 20-30 yuan.

The price he Shi Wen was the price of mid-to-high-end mutton.

Shi Wen wasn't surprised by the price, but he cautioned, "I only have three hundred castrated sheep to sell, which adds up to about 30,000 jin. And I need to raise them for a while longer before selling them around the Spring Festival."

Lin Huaizhuo knew Shi Wen was referring to his limited sheep and numerous problems, but he didn't seem to care. "That's no problem at all. It's good to sell during the Spring Festival season, as prices can be higher then. If you're willing to sell, how about we set sixty as the bottom line, and then we'll see how much mid-to-high-end mutton is priced in the market? If it's less, I'll make up the difference."

Shi Wen shook his head. "If it's just this price, I have regular partners who can sell it for even more."

Upon hearing this, Lin Huaizhuo said, "What are your thoughts? We can talk about it further."

Shi Wen said, "I do have the idea of getting my own ranch's lamb into the high-end market, but I'm struggling to find the right channels. Uncle Lin, if you have any resources, why don't you introduce me to buyers? We can split the profits then."

Lin Huaizhuo hadn't expected him to have this idea. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "How should we divide it?"

Shi Wen had already considered a solution. "We'll set a minimum of 60, and split anything above 60 50/50. There aren't many sheep this year, so let's be friends."

This method of Shi Wen is indeed a sure-fire way to make money. Lin Huaizhuo considered several restaurants with which he had a good relationship, as well as several organizations. Three hundred sheep is indeed not a lot. With his connections, he can easily sell them off and have them used up anywhere.

However, the guaranteed minimum is 60, and if it exceeds 60, the profits are split 50/50. This cooperation model is rather ordinary for him.

The lamb from Shi Wen is indeed excellent and can truly reach the quality of top-grade lamb. However, it is not the only one in the world that can achieve this quality; many high-end lambs can do so, and some even have a better flavor.

His sheep, if it's just the meat, should be priced between 120 and 150 yuan per jin (500 grams). Anything higher would be outside the market price.

Lin Huaizhuo's mind raced, and he quickly came to a conclusion—it was a good deal.

You can earn hundreds of thousands on one trip, it's worth it.

It's really worth it to have Shi Wen.

Not only is he strong himself, but he also has an even stronger boyfriend behind him. Given Professor Yan's character and personality, this is definitely not a fleeting romance.

This business is worth doing!

Chapter 58

Shi Wen and Lin Huaizhuo reached a business deal.

Lin Huaizhuo needed to find a buyer, Shi Wen arranged with him to deliver the goods on February 7th, a little over a week before the Lunar New Year.

The two signed a simple agreement, and Lin Huaizhuo also transferred 100,000 yuan as a deposit to Shi Wen.

At noon, Shi Wen indeed invited the uncle and nephew to stay for lunch.

The ingredients at Shi Wen's house were excellent, and even with simple cooking, the food was delicious. Lin Huaizhuo, and Shi Wen was also very happy. Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely.

When it Shi Wen to say goodbye, Lin Huaizhuo Lin Chengqian back to the city, his expression turning serious at some point.

Lin Chengqian looked at his expression, somewhat puzzled. "Second Uncle, didn't you close the deal? Why do you look like that?"

Lin Huaizhuo replied, "It's nothing."

After saying that, Lin Huaizhuo asked again, "How long have Professor Yan and Shi Wen been together?"

Lin Chengqian asked, "Second Uncle, why are you asking about this?"

Lin Huaizhuo said irritably, "Can't I gossip?!"

Lin Chengqian glanced at his second uncle casually. "I won't tell you the gossip."

"You brat, why are you so annoying?" Lin Huaizhuo, frowning slightly as he drove. "Why didn't you say a word about Professor Yan having a boyfriend? Information! Why are you hiding such important information?"

Lin Chengqian shrank back. "That's our teacher's private matter. Besides, why are you asking about my teacher?"

"What's Professor Yan's status?!" Lin Huaizhuo suppressed his anger. "A few years ago, during an exercise in City B, the relevant departments closed off the airspace and issued a no-fly order, you know that?"

Lin Chengqian whispered, "And then?"

"And then?" Lin Huaizhuo. "Back then, a foreign leader's car was stopped, but the relevant departments knew that Professor Yan was on a certain plane heading to a meeting, yet they politely let it pass!"

Lin Chengqian: "Our teacher is that amazing?"

Lin Huaizhuo: "Is that the point?!"

"Okay, I'll tell my family in advance next time if anything happens," Lin Chengqian muttered. "Actually, it's not a big deal, he's my boyfriend."

Lin Huaizhuo's forehead vein throbbed. "Go back to your academic work."

Shi Wen the discussion between the Lin family uncle and nephew, he took advantage of the good weather to continue fertilizing the pasture grass.

He plans to expand his planting scale next year, so he needs to plant more pasture grass.
