Chapter 340: Chapter 170: Barbecue Sauce Analysis and Optimization Success! (3-in-1)

The barbecue sauce from Black Bull Barbecue does indeed taste quite good and has a few patents too.

However, it’s not much different from those big brand barbecue sauces on the market; there’s not much of a distinction.

After all, barbecue sauce isn’t exactly a high-tech product.

There are at least a thousand barbecue sauce brands on the market.

Big companies like Haitian, Lee Kum Kee, Red Sun, and Tianyuan Soy Sauce Garden all have their own barbecue sauces.

"Why did Mr. Jiang think of buying our company’s barbecue sauce?"

Tian Wei smiled and asked Jiang Tao directly.

Jiang Tao smiled openly and said, "Of course, it’s because your company’s barbecue sauce tastes better than the others."

It would seem that Jiang Tao, planning to buy Black Bull Barbecue’s sauce, shouldn’t lavishly praise it before making the purchase.

How could he negotiate a lower price after praising it?

But Jiang Tao did the opposite, speaking frankly, which made him appear extremely sincere.

Sometimes, sincerity is the killer move!

As expected, Tian Wei was quite pleased after hearing Jiang Tao’s compliment about their barbecue sauce.

"Everyone is friends with Enan, and I have to give Enan some face."

"200,000, if President Jiang can accept this price, we are willing to sell the recipe."

"But you must sign a non-compete agreement; your company cannot open a store within 10 kilometers of our Black Bull Barbecue."

Tian Wei looked at Jiang Tao, appearing quite normal.

The reason Black Bull Barbecue is booming isn’t just because of their barbecue sauce alone.

It’s the combination of timing, location, and people that led to today’s achievements.

Black Bull Barbecue’s greatest competitiveness is always its high-quality dishes and attentive service.

Barbecue sauce is important, but not a crucial factor.

Selling the barbecue sauce recipe to Jiang Tao brings in money and gives Du Enan a favor.

For Tian Wei, there are plenty of benefits, so she has no reason to refuse.

"Sure!"

Jiang Tao readily agreed upon hearing Tian Wei’s offer.

He thought Tian Wei would take a few days to think it over.

Unexpectedly, she gave the answer on the spot and agreed so readily!

Jiang Tao had many negotiation tactics prepared that he didn’t even get to use.

200,000 for a barbecue sauce recipe isn’t cheap.

But Jiang Tao believes that after Brother Tongzi’s analysis and optimization, the recipe will be much more valuable!

In the future, using Brother Tongzi’s optimized barbecue sauce recipe could earn him thousands or even millions of times the return!

The current investment of 200,000 is no pressure at all for him.

As for the non-compete agreement mentioned by Tian Wei, it’s not an issue at all.

Once he gets the Black Bull Barbecue recipe and has it optimized by Brother Tongzi, Tian Wei might not even recognize it.

So that non-compete agreement becomes irrelevant to Jiang Tao.

Moreover, Jiang Tao never intended to open a barbecue restaurant near Black Bull Barbecue.

After all, buying their recipe and then competing with them would be quite unethical.

The speed of progress in purchasing the barbecue sauce recipe exceeded Jiang Tao’s expectations.

After reaching a cooperation agreement, Tian Wei drafted a technology transfer contract.

After both parties signed the contract, Jiang Tao immediately transferred 200,000 to Black Bull Barbecue’s account.

Tian Wei also readily handed a barbecue sauce recipe to Jiang Tao.

She promised that he could visit Black Bull Barbecue’s sauce production workshop to observe and learn at any time.

Until he can independently and proficiently produce barbecue sauce of the same quality as Black Bull Barbecue’s sauce.

Looking at the barbecue sauce secret recipe, with fewer than ten simple ingredients,

Jiang Tao couldn’t help but feel a bit amused.

Spending 200,000 on a recipe with fewer than 1,000 characters really is paying a thousand dollars per character!

However, Jiang Tao didn’t feel it was unworthy or a loss.

A recipe can be like a piece of paper thin as a window; once it’s pierced, it reveals its secrets.

But if the person holding the recipe doesn’t pierce that window, you’ll never figure it out on your own.

A high school classmate of Jiang Tao’s had parents who made their fortune with tofu-making skills and bought seven or eight houses in the county.

Making tofu seems simple with not much skill involved, but it has its complexities.

Ten people making tofu can result in ten different textures and flavors.

A tofu-making technique can sell for sixty to seventy thousand, with reportedly at least ten sold annually, providing a base income of six to seven hundred thousand!

Plus, they supply delicious tofu to dozens of small supermarkets in the county, making daily sales impressive.

The saying "one successful trick to eat all over" happens quite often in real life.

With payment made, there’s no regret; since the money has been spent, Jiang Tao doesn’t dwell on other considerations.

To obtain the system-optimized recipe, he must first acquire the basic recipe.

This step can’t be skipped, and this money must be spent.

Therefore, there’s nothing more to fuss about.

The cooperation concluded just after noon, right at lunchtime.

Tian Wei invited Jiang Tao and Du Enan to go downstairs with her for barbecue at her family’s restaurant.

The three of them got a small private room, enjoying barbecue and chatting in a very friendly atmosphere.

Jiang Tao also sought advice from Tian Wei on setting up a self-service barbecue restaurant.

Opening a barbecue restaurant seems simple, but there’s a lot to learn.

Pre-market research, location selection, pricing strategy, quality control;

Building supply chains, sanitation, service...

And many more aspects need attention from all angles.
