You're Wang Ming?

Wang Ming chuckled hearing how the boss had changed his slogan so fast, he's definitely fast on the uptake.

"I'm Wang Ming, no need for that uncle, I've done nothing. Like I said earlier, I own a restaurant if I'd truly take ingredients from your store for free you would go bankrupt. But I wouldn't mind getting a 10% discount if you could do that."

"Definitely! Since you're so good-hearted and polite, the least I can do is to give you 10% off permanently!"

He chuckled once again, seeing how crafty the boss is. It sounds like Crazy Nu's is doing him a favor, giving him 10% discount. But by giving Wang Ming the discount, he would most likely secure him as a long-time customer, even though he's giving Wang Ming a 10% discount it doesn't mean that he's not earning anything as the profit margin on most of these items are 30%!

The boss would probably give a 10% discount to anybody buying in bulk, since Wang Ming had said he's a restaurant owner, it's apparent that he would buy a lot of ingredients.

"Hmm, since that's the case Uncle, please give me 35%. I could have bankrupted you so, I guess that's 35% discount isn't too much to ask for is it?"

"Ye….. ehm…"

Crazy Nu thought that Wang Ming initially wanted a 15% discount, as his profit margins is close to 35% he wouldn't mind at all giving Wang Ming the discount, but if he gave Wang Ming 35% then he would basically give him the ingredients for free.

Looking at the boss's face Wang Ming knew what he was thinking, but of course he knew he would never get a 35% discount, but if he could get a 25% then that would be good. He had heard from people before a great trick to make people agree with you is to demand something unreasonable, then demand what you actually want.

"I'm just kidding, Uncle, I think 25% is more than enough."

Since Crazy Nu wanted to play with him, Wang Ming had no qualms in playing him back. As for Crazy Nu, his face had become red as he realized he had trapped himself. If he didn't give Wang Ming the 25% he would lose this customer and it would tarnish his reputation, he would go from Crazy Nu to Petty Nu.

After sighing, Crazy Nu could only give in to Wang Ming, even though roughly 70% of his profits would be cut, it's still better than nothing he would still earn money.

"25% is okay, but I won't give you anything more than that, I'll barely earn anything now after giving you this discount!"

"Haha, don't worry boss, I'll just buy a sample size this time, but after my restaurant is back up and running, the question is not about how much money your profiting each sale, but how much meat you can get. As I'm going to at least need 1000 to 2000 pounds of pork belly every day."

Wang Ming had gotten a call from Uncle Hou earlier that day, though he still didn't have any clue about the perpetrators, but he assured him that Fu Jinhai would be ready to take over the restaurant as soon as Wang Ming could open it again.

If Wang Ming also hired more chefs for Fu Jinhai to delegate work to, they could easily make at least a few thousand pounds of pork belly every day, which would significantly increase how much money the restaurant make.

The restaurant had closed early almost every day since launch because of the demand being too high, while Wang Ming didn't have the time or ability to make anymore. Though of course only Fu Jinhai would know about the recipe, the others would only help him cook the meat.

"1000 to 2000 pounds?!"

Crazy Nu's face now only showed disbelief and happiness, if Wang Ming's words is true then it would be his biggest sale ever. But this would be a daily occurrence? How rich is Wang Ming? His biggest sale ever had been to a restaurant owner also, but he only bought ingredients for 15 thousand yuan. If Wang Ming just bought 1 thousand pounds of meat, it would equate to 20 thousand yuan.

To buy this every day, what kind of restaurant is Wang Ming running? He had never heard of a restaurant selling so much pork belly in a day! If he could secure this deal, he could earn 7 to 14 million yuan a year before costs! Though he would still need to give Wang Ming a 25% cut and pay for the meat.

Since he's buying in bulk, he was sure that he could negotiate prices with the supplier too, which meant that after costs he could probably at least earn 1-2 million yuan just from Wang Ming's one deal. It wouldn't take more than a few years before he could sell his shop and retire! Even though he's a shop owner after all costs, he usually only earns 400 thousand.

"Are you sure you said 1000 to 2000 pounds? You meant 100 to 200 right?"

"No, my restaurant sold an average of 1000 pounds of pork belly before, but I want to increase the number so I think a safe estimate for now would be 2000 for now it could go up I need to see if the demand is still there."

"How…?"

Crazy Nu felt dumbfounded he just couldn't believe that a restaurant could sell so much pork belly in a month. If such a popular restaurant exists, it would have gotten a ton of publicity, unless.

"What is your restaurant called again Young Master."

"Please don't call me Young Master once again, just call me Wang Ming, I don't need people running around calling me Young Master. I named my restaurant after my surname Wang's family restaurant, it's fairly popular so you don't need to worry."

Crazy Nu closed his eyes and kept mumbling the name of Wang Ming's restaurant repeatedly like a ghost had just possessed him, but after 10 seconds he opened his eyes and screamed.

"It's YOU! I've read about your restaurant in the news multiple times! You're a star Wang Ming, I can't believe that you're buying meat from my shop I'm honored."

"I assume its good news based on how you're acting? Even though Wang Ming knew that Uncle Hou and Uncle Fu had spread news about his restaurant to everybody, he hadn't read a newspaper nor looked at a tv in months."

"Yes, yes, yes! You're well known in the food industry now, the biggest ever growing restaurant! I've heard there were over 100 people wanting to become your disciple after learning of your success, but the food mogul in Liaoling city Zhang Hou sent out a strict message that anybody disturbing you would receive dire consequences."

Wang Ming thought that Crazy Nu were done talking, but he took a deep breath and started talking again. He couldn't fathom how Crazy Nu could talk so fast and so much on one breath.

"IT'S unheard of for a new restaurant to sell as much as you do! Especially since it's your first restaurant. Though sadly not too many people are interested in food and restaurants so most people won't recognize you or know about you, but I assure you, you are a glowing star for all chefs in Liaoling city!"

"Thank you, but I didn't open up my restaurant for fame, I wanted to earn money. So I don't deserve any fame. You won't the deal or not?"

"Of course I want the deal! But don't judge yourself too hard, young man. Most people do this for money until they realize how much the money they earn can help other people. Few starts with noble intentions."

"Honestly, if I knew that you were the owner of Wang's family restaurant when you stepped in here, I would have given you the ingredients for free! Agck, never mind."

Crazy Nu realized he was spouting nonsense again, to make Wang Ming feel happy. He would give nobody free stuff unless he absolutely had to.

Laughing from Crazy Nu's reaction Wang Ming finally ordered what he needed though he wouldn't buy the pork belly now as he still needed to check the quality first, but if it's good, he wouldn't mind only ordering from this shop for the pork belly. He only made a small order as he didn't need to buy stuff for the restaurant but was going to test out recipes at home.

Wang Ming wasn't sure of what kind of recipe he wanted to make yet, so he ordered a lot of different meats and vegetables. The only thing he knew for sure is that he wants for it to be another meat dish, as he's not too experienced in dealing with fish, and he didn't feel like this is the time to experiment with it.
