People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

"It's really bad, isn't it! Hisako, stop clinging to your husband for now, let's go to WGO first, he has to go discuss business."

"Oh...."

Lucifer crossed his arms, tilted his head, and said, "Those who are going to WGO, let's go together. Caitlyn and Vi, you two go find Attorney Fei now. Jinx, if you don't have anywhere to go, go shopping with Beelzebub and the others this afternoon. Chifuyu, you, Tatekari, and Houki, are you planning to go shopping or go to WGO?"

"I'll go to WGO, Houki, what about you?"

"Ah... I don't know either, where did that silly rabbit go?"

"My sister is going to WGO to study data!"

"Then I'll go shopping."

"Huh?! Houki! Your big sister is very sad!"

"Hmm? That's good."

"What?!"

Chapter 87 Chihiro Natsume's Directness, Shiraha's Decision (Please Subscribe~)

In the end, Shinonono Houki ignored Shinonono Tsukasa, mainly because she also wanted to go shopping. She didn't oppose IS, but to ask her to like or love it was a complete lie. IS had brought her too many regrets and dissatisfactions.

As for Tate no Naka de, she dared not stand next to Chifuyu Orimura. Incidentally, Yukiko Fujimine, who rushed over in the middle, chose to go to WGO, feeling that she could have more to talk about at WGO.

Just as Nami and the others were about to leave, they saw Jinx approach Bai Yu and ask earnestly, "Honey, where are you planning to go after you finish your business deal? Have you decided yet?"

"According to Ziyin, it seems that Rino and Shunka have been very busy these past few days. In that case... I should go and take a look. If it's on my way, I can go and see them."

Jinx paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Honey! Come shopping with us! If I remember correctly, isn't Shunhua's company not far from the shopping street?!"

"Yes!" xn

"Alright then, you guys go ahead and look around. I'll come find you after we're done talking."

Beelzebub laughed and said, "I'm not in a hurry to buy things. I'll wait for you. Go ahead."

Everyone else nodded in agreement, including Kraki. Lucifer said irritably, "Why are you and Deklar nodding? Husband is husband, and you two are you two. Don't skip work! Once you're done talking, hurry back to WGO!"

"Lucy! You..."

"If you were to talk for an entire afternoon, you could see if Nami and the others could talk you to death."

"Um...sigh...darling, let's go. We agreed to meet in the Ten Heroes' conference room. Do you know where that is? I have absolutely no idea what Ningning was talking about."

“Just follow me, Beelzebub. You can go to the school cafe and wait there. Klaxie, Dekla, let’s go first.”

"Okay!" x2

Watching Klara and Deklara leave, chatting and laughing while clinging to Bai Yu's arm, Beelzebub and the others didn't wait idly in place. They followed Bai Yu's instructions and went to a coffee shop to wait.

On the other side, Chihiro Natsume and Chihiro Orie had also reunited. The two girls started talking as soon as they met, and they basically talked about what they had learned about Shiraha's family during the preliminaries.

Since Nene Kinokuni had already left, the two sisters chatted without any reservations, and Natsume Chihiwa clearly knew much more than Orie Chihiwa.

After all, Chihiro Natsume has two husband-obsessed friends, and there's another one at the venue. Kinokuni Nene also chatted with them the whole way. Shiraha and the others were at their own venue. Chihiro Orie's venue only had Erina as a husband-obsessed person, who kept praising Shiraha. However, she was also very concerned about Hisako. Hisako went to find Shiraha after the competition.

Chihiro Orie knew mostly what Erina had told her, and Isshiki Satoshi didn't know much either. So Chihiro Orie was quite surprised when she heard the information Chihiro Natsume shared with her. This family was really amazing. However, she became even more curious about Shiraha.

"Sister, will Mr. Bai Yu be very domineering later?"

"Probably not. Based on what we know and what I've seen, I personally feel that Mr. Shiraha wouldn't push the contract to the point where we can't reach an agreement. Orihime, let's take some time these next couple of days to visit Mr. Shiraha's shop. I'm so curious about the strongest chef's cooking!"

"Me too! I was so focused on imagining what it would taste like that I couldn't concentrate on judging, so our scores dropped a bit."

"You have the nerve to say that? I'm speechless..."

Just as the two were talking, they suddenly heard crisp footsteps. It was the sound of high heels on the ground. The sound of Totsuki appearing here at this time meant that Shiraha and the others had arrived.

The next moment, Bai Yu and the other two walked in. Chihiro Orie's eyes lit up when she saw Bai Yu. What a handsome and charismatic man! With the information she had collected before, what a treasure he was!

Chihiro Natsume glanced at Chihiro Orie and sighed inwardly. She was quite surprised when she first saw her at the event, let alone seeing Chihiro Orie up close.

Chihiro Natsume breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and said with a smile, "I've heard Miss Kobayashi and Miss Akanekubo talk about you, Mr. Shiraha, before. Meeting you up close is even more surprising than seeing you from afar."

Bai Yu shook hands with Chihiro Natsume and said with a smile, "Ms. Chihiro, you two sisters are much more approachable than you appear in the advertisements, but what's so surprising about that?"

"Of course, after all, Miss Kobayashi and Miss Akanekubo have been talking to us about Mr. Shiraha and you, telling us not to be too nervous. They said that Mr. Shiraha is a very considerate and gentle man. However, they didn't mention his family situation, only saying that we would know when we come to the restaurant for a meal."

Klaqi chuckled and said, "Our family... if others knew about our family, they would be shocked. But seeing that you two aren't so nervous, we're relieved. Let's talk about the cooperation now."

Dekkera nodded and said, "That's right, everyone is quite busy. You can't leave the company for too long, right? Our sisters are also waiting for Darling to go shopping, so just chat naturally."

"Okay, to be honest, this directness is quite unexpected. It seems that today's cooperation meeting went very smoothly."

"That's what we were thinking too. Since the three of you are being so frank and direct, let's be even more direct. Mr. Bai Yu, Ms. Ke Laqi, Ms. De La, WGO has already moved its headquarters here, which we really didn't expect. However, that's why we agreed to the review today."

Chihiro Natsume breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We hope to obtain priority supply rights for WGO's leisure curry ingredients and production chain in Japan, as well as priority or even exclusive sales rights for WGO's curry in the Japanese region."

Klaqi chuckled and said, "Hey, you're really direct. If you do that, other curry companies, and even seasoning companies, will be completely suppressed."

Chihiro Natsume smiled and said, "After all, we know that the three of you are not the kind of people who only care about profit. So, Mr. Shiraha and the two ladies, you must have also thought about what we need. Our HUB is fully capable of taking it. However, I am more curious about Mr. Shiraha. What price will you offer?"

"this...."

Chapter 88 The Pressure on Chihiro Natsume, Shiraha's Methods (Please Subscribe~)

Chihiro Natsume and Chihiro Orie both looked at Shiraha with a hint of worry. Although Shiraha was being praised, since he was a representative sent by WGO, even if their family didn't care about such a small business, they still had to consider him.

However, generally speaking, they will definitely prioritize their own interests. After all, they have no initiative and feel very uncertain. Looking at the two WGO first-class executives, anyone who isn't stupid can see that Bai Yu is the head of the family, and these two are also husband-obsessed.

Today's negotiations are only on behalf of WGO's sincerity. Bai Yu's decision is the final one. Klaqi and Dekla are also looking at Bai Yu with some anticipation, very curious about what kind of bargaining he will offer.

Just as Chihiro Natsume thought, WGO didn't care about this small business at all, but every little bit helps, and Kraki and the others absolutely trusted their husbands.

Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your idea is excellent. In the field of curry in Japan, no company can compete with yours. Logically speaking, you should be the best choice, without exception."

Just as Chihiro Orie was about to speak, she heard Shiraha say with a hint of helplessness, "But that's based on the premise that the gap between the two sides isn't too big. So, for WGO, any company that hasn't opened up the overseas market isn't a necessary partner, but WGO is a necessity for them. Am I right?"

Chihiro Natsume pursed her lips and nodded, saying, "That's right. Since Mr. Shiraha is being so direct, there's nothing we can't say. The cooperation with WGO is very important to us. Right now, whoever WGO helps can achieve unimaginable results in the near future."

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Sincerity is the proper attitude for conversation. Hmm... I can give you the distribution rights you want, but I have three requirements. Before we talk about that, I'd like to hear your thoughts. What is your ideal price range?"

Chihiro Natsume looked at Shiro with a slight smile, remained silent for a while, and then gritted her teeth and said, "Twenty-five percent of the influence brought by all the domestic distribution channels and the net profit brought by the cooperative projects."

"Is it gone?"

"In addition, HUB's food processing plant can also undertake the main production, with HUB covering the processing costs. Furthermore, we will consider cooperating with WGO for the promotion of new products."

Klaqi and Dekla both nodded secretly. This was already a big concession. After all, HUB was a large company with so many employees. A quarter of the net profit was not low. After all, employees needed to be paid, and there were other things that required working capital.

With all of this going on, Chihiro Natsume basically meant that they were being very generous with the money, and that they could also cover things like providing the venue and labor, offering 25% of the total cost, meaning their maximum contribution was probably around 30%.

For a company the size of HUB, this price already represents a very substantial profit. Klara and Deklara did a quick mental calculation and nodded to themselves. The figure was quite good, slightly less than their expected 27.5, but they could easily negotiate the price down to under 30.

However, if it's less than twenty, then there's nothing to discuss. Bai Yu smiled and said, "That's a very sincere number. Now, let's talk about the three conditions we need."

"It's not a difficult thing. The first thing is that if HUB wants to obtain the exclusive cooperation rights of WGO, the first thing it needs to do is that HUB needs WGO to open up the overseas market. Therefore, WGO is responsible for the overseas transportation chain, the insured party, and the sales agent."

Chihiro Natsume paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "The transportation chain and sales agents are fine, but what about the insured party...?"

"No need to rush. Although the insured party WGO will take full control, WGO will treat the transportation chain funding as its own product and assume full responsibility. This is because we have multiple insurance companies covering the costs, and other companies can act as intermediaries. So, it's like we are managing our own cash flow."

"However, in case of unforeseen circumstances, for goods belonging to HUB, WGO can provide compensation for 65% of the total value of the goods lost, and can also provide two new product formulas. In return, the selling price of the products in each country will need to be further negotiated, and the profit per product will need to be redistributed."

Chihiro Natsume's eyes twitched. While others would give a stick and a piece of candy at the same time, Shiraha was giving both at the same time. It was like feeling an itch on your back but not being able to find the spot, yet he was already being very considerate of HUB.

"I'd like to know what the other two requirements are?"

"The second requirement is simpler. WGO can be responsible for promoting your products, but you need to handle the specific operations and planning yourself. However, if you choose a spokesperson, WGO needs to participate in the decision-making process to determine whether the person meets the spokesperson requirements."

"This is no problem."

"The third requirement is more of a reminder than a requirement: if WGO chooses HUB, then there can be no problems."

Chihiro Natsume said earnestly, "There is absolutely no problem with that. We are a company with a conscience, and you can rest assured about that, Mr. Shiraha."

"I still believe in it. After all, it's not just a saying that your appearance reflects your inner state. So... let's talk about the price. Twenty-five percent, a quarter of the net profit, that's a very sincere offer."

"Compared to other companies, your size, a quarter of theirs, may have a greater impact than one-half, or even two-thirds. However, if business is done too easily, both parties may regret it later. So, Klaqi."

"Eh!"

"Give the contract you prepared to Ms. Chihiro Natsume. Ms. Chihiro Natsume, this contract is the first draft prepared by WGO, but it does not contain the three requirements I mentioned, and it will not be the final result. It is just WGO's initial plan. Based on these three requirements, the price in the original draft will be reduced."

Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But as for the specific price, I hope HUB can bring a contract with a price close to that next time, and at the same time, I hope to more specifically highlight HUB's unique advantages in Japan."

"Mr. Bai Yu, you are really amazing... In that case, to show HUB's sincerity, here is our draft contract. It seems there is no need to exchange it now. We will prepare it properly."

"We look forward to the official collaboration article after the two of you have truly reached an agreement. WGO is not yet completed, so everyone still has plenty of time."

"it is good!"

Chapter 89: Chihiro Natsume's Reflections, and the Excited Kraki (Please Subscribe~)

When Bai Yu and the other two left, the Chihaya sisters finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Bai Yu had always been kind, the initiative and pressure he had just given them made them feel a little lost.

Chihiro Natsume wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with some emotion, "I never thought there really was a man like Mr. Shiraha... With Mr. Shiraha in WGO, it's probably going to rise by more than just a few levels."

"Sister, is it just my imagination? Why do I feel a strange pressure?"

Chihiro Natsume nodded and said, "That's right. Although Mr. Shiraha is very kind and takes good care of HUB, in reality, all the initiative and real performance are in Mr. Shiraha's hands."

“They keep emphasizing, intentionally or unintentionally, that the relationship between WGO and HUB is a one-sided necessity, and that we need to solve the actual operational rights and additional guarantees overseas ourselves. They say they don’t care about the benefits of HUB’s arrival, but they have indirectly gained more long-term benefits.”

"But HUB can also maximize its profits, even exceeding our expectations. However, this is no longer a simple cooperation. He did not give us a quote, nor did he accept it. It seems that he intends to give us a chance."

Chihiro Orie tilted her head and said, "Sister, what exactly is Mr. Shiraha planning to price it? Why did he give us their first draft?"

“Zhihui, let me ask you, Mr. Baiyu said that there were no three requirements in this contract. In other words, Mr. Baiyu led the negotiations, but the contract was not approved by Mr. Baiyu. WGO is, in fact, Mr. Baiyu’s. So it can only mean that Mr. Baiyu never intended to look at this contract from the very beginning, right?”

"Well, then what?"

"Then, since he doesn't look at it, how could he not guess that Ms. Kraki and the others prepared this contract? Absolutely not. So the only purpose of this contract is to serve as a reminder to us after stating those three requirements and completely seizing all the pure profits outside of the cooperation."

"Don't you understand what I mean by not giving him the contract? Orihime, do you remember what's written on our contract?"

Chihiro Orie paused for a moment before exclaiming in realization, "Twenty-eight percent! Mr. Shiraha said it could be less than twenty-five, which is why you didn't hand over the contract, sister!"

"Not only that, but if nothing unexpected happens, the figure on this contract will be even lower than what we wrote!"

Chihiro Orie quickly opened the contract, and after flipping through it for a while, she saw the bright 27.5. Chihiro Orie suddenly realized something. Recalling what Bai Yu had said earlier, she finally understood that Bai Yu was indeed there to cooperate, but his scheme was to make even more money from every angle.

While offering both incentives and pressure, the contract was presented to Chihiro Orie, who felt a chill run down her spine. If she handed over the contract, things would be difficult when they formally negotiated the price next time.

"Sister, then let's..."

"Mr. Bai Yu wants us to adjust our contract according to WGO's contract to achieve the greatest possible synchronization. With those three requirements added, the price will be between 20 and 25, definitely lower than 25. But we also need to write down more things that HUB can do."

Chihiro Natsume stood up, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "The more we write, the greater the probability of a successful collaboration, the more money we can reduce, and the more benefits we can gain from the collaboration. WGO can also plan its profit points from more angles. Tsk... it's a collaboration, but also an employment..."

Chitori breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Shiraha is really amazing. Sister, what should we do?"

"Go back and first find the commonalities in the contract, then add these three requirements. These three requirements should be placed in the most conspicuous position to show our sincerity. Then, extract the parts of the WGO contract that we cannot accept, use our advantages to smooth them out as much as possible, and then re-evaluate the price."

"it is good!"

"We'll have to work overtime these next few days. Let's try to revise the contract within three days. The board of directors won't need to prepare anything. The two of us together can make all the decisions for the company without having to notify them. We don't need to go to work these next few days; we can just stay home and revise the contract."

"Okay! So where will the next negotiation take place?"

"Of course we'll go to Mr. Shiraha's shop. This way, we can show our sincerity, taste the dishes of the world's strongest chef, and finally, I'd really like to see who's in that terrifying family. Plus, Nakiri Managi will definitely be there, which will make things easier."

Chihiro Orie nodded, and the two chatted while calming themselves down. On the other side, Klaqi and Dekla hugged Shiraha's arm with excitement. They went from not knowing what to do at first to having their eyes light up after they understood.

As expected of her husband, he's amazing! Kraki and Dekkera kept praising Shiraha the whole way. When they arrived at the coffee shop, Beelzebub and the others were chatting happily, and even Momousagi and Nojiko looked very happy.

"Huh? You guys are talking so fast?"

When Beelzebub saw Bai Yu and the other two, he immediately noticed them. The others also looked over, their faces filled with disbelief. Although HUB was far inferior to WGO, it was still a large enterprise with assets worth hundreds of billions. Could they have reached an agreement so quickly? And did it work out? Or did it fall apart?

Klaqi leaned over and, without even checking whose lemonade it was, picked it up and drank it all in one gulp. Shinonono Houki quickly said, "Klaqi-neechan, drink slowly. Are you thirsty? It seems that negotiating a collaboration is indeed quite a lot of talk."

"No, no, no, we didn't even speak. Darling did all the negotiating! You guys have no idea! Darling is absolutely brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Between WGO making a killing and HUB making a killing, Darling actually found a way for both sides to make a killing, but WGO will completely dominate in the future, while simultaneously opening up the Japanese market!"

Dekkera also stood on tiptoe and kissed Bai Yu, laughing as she said, "I love you to death! You guys don't know, Darling just started negotiations today. Kraki and I don't understand yet, but listening to it is really giving us goosebumps! This is real cooperation!"
