CHAPTER 53: CHAPTER 53 COOPERATION AGREEMENT

Liang Yesheng also grabbed a piece of pig ear, dipped it in chili oil, and ate it. The taste was quite good.

The spicy and original flavors each have their own characteristics. Personally, he prefers the original flavor a bit more.

If these were marketed, the response should be very good.

"Are you planning to trade these recipes for a five percent stake in my company?"

Liang Yesheng looked over at Gu Yi.

"Yes, although I’ll hold five percent of your company shares, I’ll earn it back for you doubly. You’re definitely getting more than your money’s worth."

Gu Yi said confidently.

Liang Yesheng was suddenly moved by the confidence of the girl in front of him. Giving someone else an opportunity is also giving oneself an opportunity.

"Alright, I’ll bring the contract over this afternoon. I hope I can get the recipes when we sign it."

There’s a reason why Liang Yesheng’s business is so successful; he takes immediate action whenever possible.

After returning yesterday, he had already instructed the company’s lawyer to draft a cooperation agreement.

He could have it in hand by the afternoon.

"Okay, no problem."

After Liang Yesheng left, Gu Yi quickly wrote down the material ratios of the recipes and the brewing times for each type of food.

In the afternoon, Liang Yesheng and Yang Lin came over with the cooperation agreement.

This time, Ye Fu, Ye’s mother, and Ye Qian didn’t avoid the meeting and stood beside Gu Yi.

"This is the agreement drafted by my lawyer. You can take a look first."

Liang Yesheng handed the contract to Gu Yi and sat down opposite her.

Gu Yi didn’t really understand contracts, so she read each term carefully.

The contract stated that she would hold five percent of Good Taste Food Co., Ltd and enjoy five percent of the company’s annual net profit as dividends, distributed once a year.

The ownership of the recipes she wrote would entirely belong to Good Taste Food Co., Ltd, and she could not resell them to others.

She must also become an honorary consultant for Good Taste Food Co., Ltd.

The Good Taste Company could consult Gu Yi at any time regarding problems arising during production.

There were other terms as well, outlining her rights and obligations to comply with.

Overall, although the contract was generally favorable to Good Taste Company, for Gu Yi, it was like hitting a jackpot.

"Okay, I’ve finished reading. These are the recipes I wrote."

After reading, Gu Yi handed her recipes to Liang Yesheng.

"Then let’s sign the agreement first."

Liang Yesheng was straightforward as well.

The two of them signed the duplicate copies of the cooperation agreement.

Yang Lin stamped it with the company seal and handed one copy to Gu Yi.

"Gu Yi, I look forward to our cooperation."

Liang Yesheng extended his hand.

"I look forward to our cooperation."

Gu Yi also extended her hand and shook hands with Liang Yesheng.

"The number on your business card, if you have any new ideas, feel free to reach out. Do you have a number yourself?"

Now that they were in a partnership, they would certainly need to stay in touch. But he currently didn’t have Gu Yi’s number.

"I don’t have a number yet. In a few days, I’ll check with the telecommunications office to see if I can install a phone quickly."

Even without Liang Yesheng mentioning it, she was planning to install a phone.

Having been used to mobile phones in later years, communicating with others now was really inconvenient.

"Alright, you can contact me or Yang Lin."

"Okay."

After wrapping everything up, Liang Yesheng and his team left.

"Sister-in-law, did you really close the deal?"

Ye Qian thought her sister-in-law was amazing, securing a company stake just based on a few recipes.

Not only Ye Qian, but Ye Family’s parents also felt that this daughter-in-law was becoming more impressive.

"Yes, don’t underestimate these few recipes. Although it’s not yet clear how much profit they’ll bring, I think it won’t be less than what our little shop earns."

"But sister-in-law, if these recipes can make so much money, why don’t we just sell them ourselves?"

Ye Qian’s question was the same as that of Ye Family’s parents.

Yes, if it could earn so much for others, wouldn’t it be even more profitable if they did it themselves?

"Mom, Dad, Qianqian, I used to think the same, but look at us. Ye Hao isn’t at home, and we’re either old or weak here — manpower is the first problem."

After saying this, Gu Yi poured a glass of water for each of Ye Family’s parents.

"And if we proceeded, we’d face many difficulties. We lack people, money, and experience. Plus, I’m not even confident we could do as well as they do. So, we can only leverage others, and Good Taste Food Co., Ltd is an ideal partner for that."

After Gu Yi explained, the rest of the Ye Family understood.

With just their little shop, the family was already busy without a break. Expanding would inevitably lead to problems.

"Yes, Yiyi, we understand now. Whatever decision you make, the family will support you."

Ye Fu’s words represented the thoughts of the rest of the Ye Family.

"Thank you, Mom and Dad. Now we really need to get a phone installed quickly, otherwise it’s really inconvenient."

Gu Yi thought about quickly getting the phone set up.

The next day, Gu Yi went to the telecommunications office, paid the fees, and waited at home for their staff to install the phone.

Within a few days, the telecommunications staff came to install the phone.

The Ye Family closed the shop to rush back home for the phone installation.

Once the phone was installed, Ye Fu found a cushion from somewhere to place the phone on top of.

Ye’s mother draped a towel over the phone.

"Yiyi, you should buy a nice cloth to cover this someday. The towel doesn’t look good and not covering it would lead to dust."

Ye’s mother examined it and felt it didn’t look nice.

"Sure, I’ll check it out someday."

Seeing the three of them staring at the phone, Gu Yi stepped up to teach them.

"Mom, Dad, you can use it now. As long as you have the number, you just lift the receiver and dial."

"Mom, am I dreaming that there’s actually a phone at home now?"

Ye Qian held her mother’s hand, blinking at the phone.

"I feel like I’m dreaming too."

Ye’s mother truly didn’t expect life to be so good.

"Let’s call Hao Hao and tell him about it."

Ye Fu quickly suggested.

Ye’s mother and Ye Qian agreed eagerly.

"Mom, Dad, Ye Hao is in class right now. Let’s call him when he’s resting this evening."

It’s just past ten, and Ye Hao is certainly studying.

"In our excitement, we forgot about that."

Ye’s mother tapped her head lightly.

Gu Yi made calls to both Liang Yesheng and Yang Lin, informing them of the phone number.

Liang Yesheng mentioned over the phone that he had already found a company that sold vacuum packing machines.

They were currently making some preliminary preparations.

Once the packing machines were in place, they could immediately start production using her recipes.

"In the beginning, you might start with small-scale production, find some professional salespeople to open up markets in different regions, and find capable local retail companies."

After Gu Yi finished speaking, there was silence on Liang Yesheng’s end.

Gu Yi wondered if she had been too verbose.

"You probably know more about this than I do; I was just saying it off the cuff. Take it as you will. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now."

"Wait, Gu Yi, how do you know about these things? Did someone tell you?"

Gu Yi had used very professional terms, and what she mentioned were things he had thought about but hadn’t implemented.

He didn’t expect to hear it coming from Gu Yi and felt she must have someone guiding her; otherwise, how could she have thought of this?

Gu Yi was a bit puzzled. This was a very common sales tactic in the future, but from what Liang Yesheng implied, it seemed no one was doing it yet.

How was she going to explain to him how she knew these things?
