Chapter 75 It's a Win-Win
Chen Rong honestly thought this medicine wouldn't sell. The Zhao family wasn't stupid; how could they possibly spend three thousand taels for such a small bottle of powder? But he couldn't disobey the Second Young Lady's orders.
Later, he found someone and the business changed hands several times. Faced with such a high price for the powder, the Zhao family gritted their teeth and bought it after trying its effects.
After receiving the money, Chen Rong was completely dazed. Did he really sell it? Such a high-priced medicine!
When he took the silver back and gave it to Mo Bing, Lu Songli was not surprised at all.
She knew about Zhao Bin's injuries. After three serious injuries, it was impossible for him to heal quickly. He would have to endure the pain for a long time before he recovered.
She was not afraid that the Zhao family would not pay. Even if the Zhao family felt sorry for the money, Zhao Bin would not feel sorry. He would only think about how to alleviate his pain. If the Zhao family did not pay, wouldn't he, as a legitimate son, have some private money?
Today was the fourth bottle of medicine that Chen Rong sold. In just a short time, he got back twelve thousand taels of silver!
"Second Miss, your tactic of playing the long game to catch big fish is amazing. We sold the medicine bottle by bottle, and actually made so much silver!" Yes, Chen Rong now felt that these thousands or tens of thousands of taels were really just a high price, not a sky-high price.
Faced with Chen Rong's lavish praise, Lu Songli seemed unfazed. This was the sales plan she had devised from the outset. To sell the drug, they hired someone else, switching agents with each transaction and moving locations after each sale.
She thought, after this round, she could squeeze at least 10,000 or 20,000 taels out of Zhao Bin, right? Even if the Zhao family finally guessed that the anesthetic was hers, so what? She had made her promise: if Zhao Bin used it once, he would use it every time!
As for Chen Rong's assumption that she was playing the long game, could she really say she initially intended to make a one-time profit? A one-time deal would be so great—simple, easy, and low-risk. But after her evaluation and analysis, she realized the situation didn't allow it. She felt the Zhao family wouldn't be happy to let her make so much money all at once.
After all, the Zhao family had been searching for the anesthetic for a long time, and then it suddenly appeared one day. They would definitely suspect her. If they gave out more than 10,000 taels just to buy the medicine from her, they would definitely feel pain and be reluctant to do so. The key is that she earned the money, which would make the Zhao family unhappy. Isn't this aiding the enemy?
Instead of spending more than 10,000 taels to buy a bottle of painkillers and anesthetics, it is better to buy 3,000 taels per bottle and buy it three, four or five times, and you can still earn more than 10,000 taels. But the Zhao family is definitely willing to accept the latter sales plan.
As salespeople, they should take the customer's feelings into consideration. When the customer is satisfied, they also make money, which is a win-win situation.
So far, the effect seems good, and it is indeed troublesome, but there is no other way. In order to make money, it is a bit hard, tiring, and troublesome. Who made her poor?
"Second Miss, you are worthy of your foresight! When you insisted on breaking Zhao Bin's legs, you didn't want to sell medicine to him? Did you want to get money from him?" Chen Rong put one compliment after another on Lu Songli's head.
Lu Songli: Can she say she didn't? Chen Rong's imagination is too outrageous.
"Sell this medicine once more, and then call it a day. You have to clean up the mess."
Huh? Chen Rong was surprised. He had never expected to hear the Second Miss say such a thing. "Second Miss, what are you saying?"
"Yes, you heard me right. I mean this is indeed the last bottle of medicine. I'll stop selling it once it's sold."
Lu Songli estimated that this business wouldn't last long. When the Zhao family decided to give up on Zhao Bin, the business would be unsustainable. After all, anesthetics were really expensive. At that time, their people would also be in danger.
With the amount Zhao Bin uses, this deal can actually be done two or three more times, but it will definitely become more dangerous as time goes by.
Later in life, she had a good friend who studied investment. She was quite skilled, and after graduating from university, she was invited to join a well-known investment team. Their investments included stocks, funds, futures, and more, covering a wide range of areas. After making money, she gave some to her friend to manage, and they achieved a stable return of 12 percentage points annually. Her friend once advised her not to ever try to sell stocks at the peak.
This sentence can be applied to many decision-making situations.
"But..." The situation was so good, so they just gave up? Chen Rong felt it was a pity.
"No buts, just do as I say."
"Okay, Second Miss."
"Go down."
"yes."
After Chen Rong left, Lu Songli still sat there without moving.
She used Chen Rong as an assistant, but he was not very good in this aspect. However, he was not without advantages. He was loyal, capable, and obedient. He could carry out the orders she gave. So she used him for now.
Lu Songli pondered for a moment, and soon Mo Bing broke the silence.
"Second Miss, there's a letter for you. The concierge just delivered it."
After Lu Songli took it and opened it, she saw only a piece of letter inside with only five words written on it - the matter has been settled.
After reading it, Lu Song smiled and glanced at Mo Bing. Mo Bing quickly brought a brazier. She threw the letter into it, and the letter quickly turned into ashes in the jumping flames.
After dealing with the letter, she instructed Mo Bing, "Send some money to Nanhua Lane later."
Mo Bing obeyed the order.
Lu Songli took care of some things and then went to the study. She found her brother reading with great interest, so she didn't disturb him. She looked at the sky and decided to keep her brother for lunch.
After the meal, Lu Songli took a silver note from Bing Mo and handed it to Lu Mingzhi.
Lu Mingzhi was a little confused. What was his second sister doing?
"It's for you, spend it."
"For me?" Lu Mingzhi was surprised to see that it was a silver note of 1,000 taels.
"I don't want it." This money should be the compensation from the Xie family to his second sister, the ten thousand taels.
"Take it. Dongzi said that you saw some things you liked when you went out recently, but you couldn't bear to buy them." But you are still thinking about going to see them, which makes me sad.
Dongzi was his servant.
"Dongzi, you're such a big mouth!"
"Don't worry, this is not the compensation from the Xie family. I, your second sister, have made some extra money recently."
They were the poorest in the family. If Lu Songli hadn't received the 10,000 taels from the Xie family's compensation, she would have been broke too. There was nothing they could do; they were the only siblings in the family who hadn't married yet. They had a share of the family's wealth, which would only be given to them after they got married. They only had pocket money for the rest of their lives.
Now that she had money, she gave her brother 1,000 taels of pocket money and also prepared some for her fiancé. She hadn't given him the 10,000 taels before, mainly because it was compensation from the Xie family, and no one would take it except for her own use. But this money was different now. It was money she earned from Zhao Bin, and Qin Sheng also provided her with information, which was very important and she should be rewarded.
When Lu Mingzhi heard this, he quickly changed his words, "Thank you, second sister, you are so generous!" He just wanted to make an object to test the wind speed recently.
Lu Mingzhi didn't spend money recklessly, but he loved research and often bought peculiar items that Lu Desheng and Jiang couldn't understand. But they were open-minded and didn't interfere. After all, he was spending his own money. As parents, they gave their money and bought their children whatever they wanted. Money can't buy what's best for them. But because they didn't understand, Lu Mingzhi's hopes for more money from his parents were impossible.
In Lu Songli's view, it is just an experimental investment in scientific research. "Study hard, and your second sister supports you."
"Do my parents have it?" Lu Mingzhi asked. If his parents didn't have it, he would divide the one thousand taels into two parts and give them to them.
Lu Songli replied, "I've prepared some other gifts for them." She was planning to buy her father a new carriage. The old horses were old, and the carriage was too old. When the wind blew hard, it would blow strong outside but light inside. It was so cold, sitting inside, it was really hard to feel warm. She only realized this after accidentally riding in her father's carriage.
The new carriage was equipped with a charcoal stove and covered with a thick mattress, which would prevent air from leaking in and make it warmer.
She prepared some warm clothes, warm underwear, knee pads, etc. for her mother, mainly focusing on improving the quality of life of the two elders.
Not only did she prepare gifts for her parents, but she also prepared gifts for her eldest brother, with the highlight being a gift for Lu Xiao. Lu Xiao was a child who could really be well nurtured.
When Lu Mingzhi heard that his parents and elder brother all had it, he accepted it with peace of mind.
