Wang Hongcheng had been eyeing the fresh flower cakes and snowflake crisps in Shen Mingzhu's hands for a long time.
He had started out in the pastry business himself and enjoyed some glory for a few years, but with the opening of policies in the past two years, more and more people had entered the business world, increasing competition and leading to a decline in the bakery's profits year after year.
This was why he had initially signed a profit-sharing agreement with Shen Mingzhu rather than buying out the mooncake recipe with a lump sum payment.
Not to mention that Shen Mingzhu was unwilling to sell the mooncake recipe, he also couldn't bear to fork out a thousand or so dollars at once.
After all, he hadn't been certain whether the mooncakes would sell at the time.
As it turned out, his judgment was correct; the mooncakes were well-received upon their launch and even secured a large order from Hengxing.
