110 Fa Yuen Street, Mong Kok.
Chen Defa was playing chess with an old man opposite, while Chen Shuqin was serving tea and water on the side, looking very well-behaved.
There was no way, this old man was Xu Longfeng, the big boss of Longfeng Pharmacy, and also Chen Defa’s old boss.
At that time, both of them were officers in a secret agency in Shanghai. One was a lieutenant colonel and the other was a major, and they were in the same action team.
During the years when Shanghai was occupied by the Japanese, the two men cooperated with each other and went through life and death together. They were definitely friends who were willing to stand by each other's backs.
Later, the two of them retreated to Hong Kong together in 1949. For decades thereafter, the two families kept in touch. It can be said that Chen Shuqin grew up under Xu Longfeng's care, so their relationship was quite close.
"Aqin, do you still have that 666 Weitai?"
"Uncle Xu, except for the few pills I took myself, I gave all the others to your pharmacy."
Xu Longfeng smacked his lips. "I've taken this medicine before, and it's definitely ten thousand times more effective than Western medicine. That's why I've always said that our Chinese medicine practitioners are pretty good. Our pharmacy has always had a counter selling Chinese medicine and Chinese patent medicines. Look, I have a pretty good eye, don't I?"
Chen Defa made a move and said with a smile: "Anyway, your vision is definitely better than mine. Otherwise, how come you are a billionaire while I have a fortune of tens of millions at most? Haha."
"Haha, that's right. If real estate wasn't monopolized by certain groups and we couldn't get in, we could have been among the top ten richest people. By the way, Aqin, how did you get this stomach pill?"
Chen Shuqin added some water for them and quickly explained:
"This stomach pill was invented by my nephew in mainland China. It uses a secret recipe and has been selling very well in mainland China. This time, I discovered this pill while visiting relatives in mainland China, so I brought it here to try selling it. Unexpectedly, it became a success."
Xu Longfeng asked in surprise, "You have a nephew in the mainland? What's going on? I've known your father for decades and I know he has two daughters. Could it be that he secretly kept children in his hometown? Hehe."
Chen Defa looked relieved. "It's not my child, but he's just like mine. He's my brother's eldest grandson and the eldest grandson of our Chen family. He's a good guy and works as a doctor in the mainland."
Chen Shuqin added: "My nephew is incredible. This time he asked me to help him register a pharmaceutical company in Hong Kong. He then produces 666 Weitai in mainland China and uses this company to export it to Hong Kong. He makes money both ways."
"Making money is a good thing. This kid is very creative. I guess not many people in mainland China know how to start a company these days. By the way, what's the name of the company?"
"Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceuticals, PV for short."
Phew~~~~
Xu Longfeng spat out all the tea in his mouth onto Chen Defa's face. "Ahem, ahem, ahem~ What the hell is this name?"
Chen Shuqin was also speechless: "He said that he loves eating pumpkin vines the most, so he chose this name. He also said that the best name should be memorable."
"Hahaha, this kid is definitely talented. Others may not know, but I will remember this pumpkin vine."
Chen Defa said calmly, "I just think the company name chosen by my eldest grandson is a good one. It appeals to both the elite and the masses."
Ever since Chen Xia came, this old man couldn't stop the affection between generations. He unconditionally supported whatever Chen Xia said or did.
So, even though Chen Xia was unwilling to take over this half of the building, he still handed over the jewelry store on Nathan Road to "Caiyunzhinan Jewelry Company", which became the company's fixed asset, and the only investor of this company was Chen Xia.
In other words, in this way, the old man gave a prime shop in the city center to his eldest grandson from the mainland for free.
This shop is not just a small one, but has three floors, covering a total area of more than 1,000 square meters. On Nathan Road, where every inch of land is valuable, it is definitely a huge asset and can be used as a flagship store.
This gift is indeed a very valuable one.
Xu Longfeng threw down his chess piece and asked directly, "Aqin, I want to discuss a cooperation with you. It's about this 666 Weitai. Can we let Longfeng Pharmacy sell it exclusively?"
Just as Chen Shuqin was about to speak, Xu Longfeng stopped her with his hand:
"Don't worry, considering the miraculous effects of these stomach pills, and the friendship between our two families, I'll give you 30 Hong Kong dollars for each pill. What do you think?"
What else could he do? Whether from the perspective of the relationship between the two companies or from the perspective of commercial interests, handing it over to Longfeng Pharmacy was the best option.
After all, Longfeng Pharmacy is the largest chain drugstore in Hong Kong. It also has drugstores in various Southeast Asian countries and is a large-scale listed company.
The current retail price of 666 Weitai is 30 yuan. The purchase price given by Xu Longfeng this time is this price. What else are you dissatisfied with?
After all, the mainland's quoted price is 12.5 yuan. Even if the shipping fee and related taxes are added, the cost will not exceed 18 yuan, so she still has a profit of more than 12 yuan.
She doesn't have to pay anything, she's just a middleman making a profit from the difference.
Another advantage of giving 666 Weitai to Longfeng Pharmacy for exclusive sales is that their company's publicity resources will definitely give priority to 666 Weitai, which also means that Pumpkin Vine Company can save a considerable amount of advertising fees.
"Okay, Uncle Xu has said so, what else can your niece say? Thank you Uncle Xu for the meal."
"Haha, let's make money together."
The reason why Xu Longfeng was so eager to obtain the exclusive sales rights and even visited the pharmacy in person was that the competition in the pharmacy industry was too fierce, and the industry was too easy to copy, which put a lot of pressure on him.
If Longfeng Pharmacy has the exclusive right to sell a miraculously effective drug, it will be of great help to the brand effect of "Longfeng Pharmacy" and its image in the minds of citizens.
From a reputational perspective, or a profit perspective, Longfeng Pharmacy has everything to gain. If he doesn't get ahead of the curve and another chain drugstore takes away the exclusive sales rights, then he's not Xu Longfeng anymore.
In this way, the two parties finalized the cooperation in private, without even needing a contract. Given the relationship between the two companies, neither would breach the contract.
The company has been registered, orders have been received, and distribution channels are ready, so what are you waiting for?
A few days later, Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Company received a formal order from Xiangjiang Nangua Teng Pharmaceutical Company, with the first batch to purchase 100,000 Sanliu Weitai tablets.
All of a sudden, Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Corporation started to panic, and several leaders rushed to the Qingfeng branch immediately.
They were eager to take over the pharmaceutical factory directly, let the workers speed up the production of stomach pills, and export them as quickly as possible to earn foreign exchange.
This is a great political achievement.
