"Brother Yan, I apologize to you on behalf of my sister. She really doesn't mean any harm. I hope you don't mind."
After introducing Tang Ye into the box upstairs, Cheng Hao specially ran to Gao Yan and said.
"Okay, I'm not a glass-hearted person. Besides, hasn't your sister already apologized?" Gao Yan smiled and patted Cheng Hao on the shoulder.
"Brother, thank you for your understanding!"
Cheng Hao said gratefully: "By the way, I have to go in and accompany my sister. You can take care of the things in the store."
"Okay, let's go!"
Gao Yan waved his hand.
Ten minutes later, in the private room upstairs.
The bottom of the pot in the copper basin has been opened, emitting a strong aroma of hot pot. At Cheng Hao's urging, Tang Ye picked up a piece of tripe and put it into the pot.
More than ten seconds later.
She picked up the hairy belly again, put it to her mouth, blew on it, put it in her mouth and chewed it.
"Sister, how do you feel?"
Cheng Hao, who had been staring at her expression, asked nervously.
“Much better than I imagined!”
"That's right!" A smile immediately appeared on Cheng Hao's face: "Even a picky person like you, sister, finds it delicious. I will definitely not worry about business in the future!"
"Xiao Hao, let me ask you something!"
Although Tang Ye was conquered by the taste of hot pot, she still resisted the urge to continue eating, put down her chopsticks, and said with a serious expression.
Cheng Hao's heart tightened again: "Sister, what do you want to ask?"
"Did you buy the recipe for the hot pot base from Gao Yan?" Tang Ye asked.
"right!"
Cheng Hao nodded and said with some pride: "Originally Gao Yan wanted to sell this formula to Yang Yue's family, but unfortunately that woman Yang Yue was too arrogant and didn't give Gao Yan a chance at all. I've made a mistake.
!”
"Then have you signed the acquisition contract?" Tang Ye asked again.
"That's not true!"
Cheng Hao shook his head: "Sister, I know what you are worried about. Gao Yan and I are the best brothers, and I also believe in him!"
Hearing this, Tang Ye frowned slightly: "Xiao Hao, you have to understand a truth, friendship is friendship, business is business, not to mention, human nature is the least able to withstand the test. To be honest, the current hot pot restaurant model
It has been figured out. If you want to become bigger and stronger, you have to win from the taste.
If your hot pot restaurant wants to become stronger, then the hot pot base recipe is your trump card. But now, this trump card is not only in your hands. It will become your biggest loophole in your future expansion!
"
"Sister, what do you mean?" Cheng Hao said in a deep voice.
Tang Ye said firmly: "Sign a transfer agreement with Gao Yan!"
"Isn't that bad? By signing the agreement, doesn't it mean that you don't trust him?" Cheng Hao shook his head in embarrassment.
"It's not about trust!"
Tang Ye hated the iron and said: "If he treats you as a brother, he should understand you instead of making things difficult for you. However, the purchase price of 500,000 is a bit low. If he is willing to sign the contract, he will be compensated with another 1.5 million, and
He still owns 30% of this hot pot restaurant, and the annual income is enough to make him rich, but the rest has nothing to do with him!"
Cheng Hao was entangled, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and said: "Sister, I still believe in Gao Yan. He is my only friend and brother. I don't want this incident to cause a rift in our brotherhood!"
"Silly boy!"
Tang Ye almost laughed out loud: "My words have made it very clear. Friendship is friendship, business is business. I asked you to do this for your own good. If in the future, someone is eyeing this hot pot base recipe
, others don’t dare to have your ideas, but others still don’t dare to have Gao Yan’s ideas?
Only by plugging all the loopholes can Gao Yan not fall into dilemmas and the relationship between you brothers be long-lasting, don't you think?"
Cheng Hao nodded, that was indeed the truth.
He grew up in a businessman's family. His father deliberately cultivated him and told him some stories about intrigues in the shopping mall.
"But sister, I still can't say this!"
Seeing that Cheng Hao was persuaded, Tang Ye also breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she didn't want to be this evil person, but who said this task was given to her by her aunt.
Tang Ye: "Well, since you can't open this mouth, my cousin can help you open it. Okay, don't worry about it. You go and call Gao Yan in, and I'll talk to him alone!"
"Okay, but sister, please don't say anything excessive!"
Cheng Hao reminded worriedly.
"Don't worry, he is your good brother, and I will consider your feelings!" Tang Ye assured.
Soon.
Cheng Hao walked out of the box and saw Gao Yan who was busy in the store, so he walked over quickly and whispered: "Brother Yan, my sister wants to talk to you!"
Looking at Cheng Hao, whose eyes were twinkling, Gao Yan nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away!"
“Tuk-tuk!”
"Please come in!"
Gao Yan pushed open the box door and walked in. He saw Tang Ye slowly putting the hot belly into his mouth. She didn't say anything, but pointed to the chair and motioned for him to sit down and talk.
After swallowing the food in his mouth, Tang Ye said: "Xiao Gao, I made you laugh. This is the first time I have eaten such delicious hot pot!"
"As long as Sister Tang likes it!"
"Snapped!"
Tang Ye put her chopsticks on the plate again. She looked at Gao Yan and smiled: "I heard that you sold this hot pot base to the little mouse for 500,000?"
"Yes!"
Gao Yan nodded and wondered why Tang Ye wanted to see him alone. Did he think the price was too high?
"This price is low!" Tang Ye spoke again.
At this time, Gao Yan became more and more uncertain about the other party's thoughts.
He said: "Sister Tang, the price is actually not low, I am very satisfied!"
"No rush, just listen to what I have to say first!"
Tang Ye waved his hand: "With this hot pot recipe, we can completely build a chain of hot pot restaurants across major cities across the country. Therefore, the hot pot base recipe you provided is very precious and key. However, in order to build such a large-scale hot pot restaurant
Chain hot pot restaurants also need to invest a lot of money. Since you are Cheng Hao's friend, we can't bully others, so I plan to compensate you another 1.5 million!"
Gao Yan was stunned, but he didn't expect that Tang Ye would actually compensate him by asking him to come in.
However, he is not what he used to be. In the past, 1.5 million was an astronomical figure for him, but now, he can earn it by selling his mobile phone twice more.
Therefore, he waved his hand: "Sister Tang, no need, I'm very satisfied with five hundred thousand!"
"You surprised me!"
Tang Ye was also a little surprised. She didn't expect Gao Yan to be able to resist the temptation of 1.5 million. You know, she also heard her aunt talk about Gao Yan's family situation.
Gao Yan smiled: "If there is nothing wrong with Sister Tang, I won't disturb your meal!"
"etc!"
Tang Ye shouted: "Xiao Gao, don't worry, although we plan to give you an extra 1.5 million, there are conditions!"
"What conditions?"
Gao Yan sat back again.
"Sign a formal transfer agreement, and after you take the 1.5 million, your hot pot base recipe cannot be transferred to others, otherwise you will face high compensation!"
Upon hearing this, Gao Yan suddenly came to his senses. It turned out that Tang Ye was worried that he would leak the recipe of the hot pot base in the future and wanted to close the loophole by signing a contract.
Then, the smile on his face disappeared and he said lightly: "Okay, I promise you!"
