Rebirth: Rewriting Youth

Chapter 310 Discount Price
When designer Chen drew the design of the rotating cup lid, salesperson Zhou happened to lead a middle-aged man with a dark complexion and baldness into the meeting room.

Seeing the two people coming in, Shen Yu stood up politely. Feeling Shen Yu standing up, Han Shuang turned his head to look and also stood up hurriedly.

Manager Cao was very polite. Seeing that Shen Yu was very young, he did not act arrogantly. He smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Shen Yu. "Mr. Shen is young and promising. My last name is Cao, and I am Hengxin's domestic sales manager."

Shen Yu smiled politely and replied, "Hello, Manager Cao."

Manager Cao then looked at Han Shuang with a smile and asked, "Who is this?"

"My girlfriend's last name is Han," Shen Yu said.

"Hello, Miss Han." Manager Cao nodded towards Han Shuang with a smile and said, "You two are a perfect match, talented man and beautiful woman."

"Thank you for your compliment." Shen Yu responded with a smile.

"Thank you." Han Shuang also responded with a polite smile.

After the greetings, everyone sat down.

Salesman Zhou gave up his previous seat to Manager Cao, then took the kettle and poured a cup of tea for Manager Cao, and added tea for Shen Yu and others, and then sat down next to Manager Cao.

"Mr. Shen, can I see this design drawing? Do you need me to sign a confidentiality agreement first?" Manager Cao didn't look at Chen's computer, but looked at Shen Yu and asked with a smile.

Although he felt that he was being taken advantage of, Shen Yu still smiled, raised his hand to signal, and replied generously: "It's okay, the agreement has been signed before, you can do whatever you want."

Manager Cao smiled and nodded: "Thank you very much."

Designer Chen showed the design drawings to Manager Cao and explained the design ideas and the display effect of the rotating cup lid again.

Manager Cao frowned and looked at it carefully for a while, then turned his head and whispered something to Salesman Zhou, who nodded continuously.

After a while, Manager Cao looked at Shen Yu and praised him with a smile: "Boss Shen, your design is very innovative. You can control the size of the suction port by rotating the mouth of the cup, and at the same time prevent the drink in the cup from overflowing. You can also cover the cup when you are not drinking to keep it hygienic. It is really clever."

Shen Yu smiled and said modestly: "I was just tinkering with it when I had nothing else to do. Whether it can be realized depends on the strength of your company."

"You can rest assured about our company's strength." Manager Cao laughed, stroking the teacup with his hand, and said after a moment's hesitation, "Mr. Shen, do you have any idea about the patent authorization of this design?"

Shen Yu didn't expect that Manager Cao didn't put forward any conditions, but directly threw the question back to him.

Shen Yu smiled and replied: "This is the first time I have cooperated with your company. From the current contact, the cooperation between the two sides is quite pleasant, so I believe that your company will definitely come up with a solution that both parties can work with."

Manager Cao's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, and he continued, "Our company does things in a very disciplined manner, but as you know, Mr. Shen, other people in the industry may not be the same. When a new product comes out, it also takes a lot of effort to promote it, and many customers are not that receptive to new products."

After a pause, Manager Cao continued in the same tone, "Boss Shen, to be honest, the application range of your rotating cup lid design is not that high."

The two exchanged sharp words for a while, and facing Manager Cao, a veteran in business negotiations, Shen Yu was a little overwhelmed.

However, Shen Yu had no intention of making a fortune from the design of the cup lid. After all, all new tea brands in later generations had open patents for these exterior designs, so Shen Yu did not care too much about it.

After taking a sip of the tea in the cup, Shen Yu was too lazy to argue with Manager Cao anymore, and said with a smile: "How about this, Manager Cao, let's be straightforward, just put out the price you can offer." Manager Cao pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Boss Shen, I will waive the mold fee for you, and I will give you another 10,000 rotating cup lids this time, how about that?"

Shen Yu took the opportunity to put down the teacup in his hand and did a simple calculation in his mind. This wave of discounts is worth about 7000 yuan. So he smiled and said, "Manager Cao, Hengxin is such a big company, the discount is too small."

Manager Cao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, we need to make a mold for the new product, and then produce samples, make adjustments, test, etc. It's not as simple as you think. And your rotating design, although it looks simple, is still difficult to do. We need to consider the fit between the cup lids."

Feeling that Manager Cao was about to start PUA again, Shen Yu quickly interrupted: "No mold fee, cups and lids, give me 10,000 sets for free, how about it?"

Manager Cao thought about it, then whispered a few words to Salesman Zhou, and bargained as usual: "Ten thousand sets is too much. The cost of the cup itself is much higher than the cup lid. 5000 sets, our company is also very sincere."

"Okay." Shen Yu nodded decisively, "But I want to add a condition."

"What conditions?" Manager Cao asked curiously.

Shen Yu did some calculations in his head and said, "I will use this cup lid exclusively for half a year! In other words, you can only sell it to others after half a year."

Manager Cao frowned upon hearing this and said seriously, "Half a year? Isn't that too long? Mr. Shen, you have to know that a lot of changes can happen in the market within half a year."

"It's said to be half a year, but it's actually about four months. It will take more than a month for my shop to be renovated." Shen Yu said: "Besides, I just opened a small shop, and the impact range is only so small, it's not as serious as you think."

Manager Cao laughed and said, "Okay, let's do it as you say."

Hearing Manager Cao's affirmation, Shen Yu was quite satisfied.

So the next step is to draft a series of related documents and sales contracts.

After signing and stamping, Manager Cao held Shen Yu's hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, I wish your business will be more prosperous and your wealth will be abundant. Our Hengxin's product quality and service are both very high-quality. I look forward to long-term cooperation!"

"Thank you for your good wishes." Shen Yu replied with a smile.

In addition to the 5000 sets of cups and lids that were delivered, Shen Yu ordered another 15000 sets of cup lids as well as a series of packaging materials including packaging bags, cup holders, etc.

Manager Cao also readily gave a discount of 1 cent, and in the end the total cost to Shen Yu was 1 yuan.

There are 1000 cups in a box, so 2 cups is 20 boxes. The store has not been renovated yet, and even if it is renovated, there is not enough space in the kitchen to put all the packaging materials.

So Shen Yu and Han Shuang informed them and left the address of Yaxi City, preparing to use Yaxi City as a warehouse first.

Han Shuang didn't say much about this.

After solving the packaging material issue, Shen Yu didn't stay long and drove Han Shuang back to Jiankang.

It was already past 6 o'clock when the two arrived in Jiankang. Han Shuang didn't say she wanted to go back to school, and Shen Yu wouldn't be so unromantic.

After a simple dinner, the two of them booked a room in a hotel opposite Dacheng Commercial Trade.
