Chapter 759: Even Good Wine Needs No Place to Stay

There was an undercurrent between the two of them, and Qiao Xi's words were very impolite.

Lu Yingxue was unhappy in her heart, but thinking that she still needed Qiao Xi to ask for the medicinal herbs, she smiled kindly.

"Vice President Qiao, I really have something to discuss with you. Could you please stay and have a chat?"

Qiao Xi said leisurely: "What if I say no?"

"What about me?" Lu Bannong said with a pale face, "Do I have the dignity to keep you here? This matter is very important to many people."

After the younger ones are driven away, the older ones come.

Qiao Xi looked at the father and daughter with her smile on her face.

Lu Bangnong looked around and said in a hoarse voice, "Please give us some space. We want to consult Vice President Qiao about something. This is a serious matter, so please step aside for the time being."

Those gossipy directors had originally planned to wait and see whether Lu Yingxue and Qiao Xi would quarrel, but Lu Bannong had already spoken.

They too had to leave.

Shen Xuanzhi stayed for a moment and asked, "I'm just outside the door. Call me if you need anything."

Qiao Xi said softly, "Old Chen is here, they don't dare to do anything to me. You don't have to be so careful, if you have anything to do, go back first."

I don’t know whether Shen Xuan heard it or not, he just walked out of the meeting room.

Lu Yingxue closed the door of the conference room. There were surveillance cameras inside but only the president had the authority to view them, and they were not worried about things being leaked if they discussed them here.

"Qiao Xi, seeing me pass unanimously and become the president, do you feel very uncomfortable?"

Qiao Xi sat in her office chair, not even changing her posture. She looked up at her and said, "Your unanimous vote includes my vote. If I didn't raise my hand to agree, what can you use to tell me that it's passed unanimously?"

"What's more..."

Her voice was soft, and she showed no weakness to the father and daughter.

"Is this your attitude towards negotiation? You are just provoking me. If you want to negotiate with me about the supply of medicinal materials, shouldn't you lower your attitude a little?"

Qiao Xi knew that she was in control of the initiative, so there was no need to be polite when facing the Lu family.

Lu Yingxue bit her lip, but Lu Bangnong was calmer.

He still had some admiration for Qiao Xi in front of him, but only a little.

He pulled out a chair and sat opposite Qiao Xi, and said, "The Liu family of Haicheng and your Huo family have joined forces to control all the major medicinal plantations in the country. This move is indeed powerful. If I'm not mistaken, Zhao Chang was also sent to prison by you, right?"

Qiao Xi spread her hands, her clear eyes flashing with a hint of coldness: "How can we be so worthy? The prison is not opened by us. President Lu is really going too far. If a person is not guilty, how can we send him to prison? After all... we are not as powerful as the Lu family, who can find someone to take the blame and even sacrifice their own family members."

This means that Lu Yingxue made Lu Yan take the blame for causing trouble in the square.

Lu Yan was also willing and actually accepted it.

Although he would not be detained for long, he would still have a criminal record. Most importantly, his reputation would be ruined, and he would become a bad apple in the Lu family.

Lu Bannong sneered: "You don't have to say these words to mock us. To reach a high position, one must use some means. The victors win and the victors lose. History is always written by the victors."

"You haven't won yet."

Qiao Xi did not reveal the fact that Cheng Han was alive. Lu Bangnong's despicable means had been implemented many years ago.

But life is not over yet, everything is possible.

Lu Bannong didn't take her angry tone seriously.

But get straight to the point.

"Since you stayed to discuss medicinal herbs with us, it means you have ideas. Tell me, what are your conditions?"

Lu Bannong is indeed a very experienced person. He has never suffered any major losses in all these years of doing business.

Qiao Xi leaned back in her chair and said, "Anything is fine?"

"It is not necessary for us to have a Chinese medicine hall. Even if we don't have one, we still have the Chinese Medicine Association. We in the mainland can also cultivate our own plantations, but it will take three to five years. You don't have an absolute advantage, so weigh the chips in your hand."

This is Lu Bannong's warning.

Qiao Xi nodded and said, "I want to abolish this broken rule of dividing the north and the south. From now on, there will be no more north-south division."

This rule has existed for many years, and Qiao Xi knows how difficult it is for patients in the south to see a doctor.

The exchange of traditional Chinese medicine also stagnated, which allowed the Lu family to enclose land and become local tyrants.

But this rule is probably most targeted at...her master Cheng Han.

"no!"

Before Lu Bannong could even open his mouth, Lu Yingxue immediately refused.

"Qiao Xi, don't even think about abolishing this rule! South is south, north is north! We've gotten used to it over the years, and we don't interfere with each other."

"Lu Yingxue, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that the Chinese medicine community will no longer be dominated by you? Are you afraid that talented people from the south who have been suppressed by you will emerge and take your place?" Qiao Xi had long understood the pettiness of the Lu family.

They are very repressive towards people with real talent.

In the Internet age, people often rely on a name. If you are suppressed for a long time, you will not be able to develop much if you are unknown.

Even the best wine needs to be hidden in a remote alley.

Narrow!

"What nonsense are you talking about? I won the first prize in the needle testing competition when I was 18 years old. Doesn't that prove my ability?"

"If you are not afraid, why don't you want to abolish this rule?"

"I……"

"Yingxue!" Lu Bankong called out to Lu Yingxue, stopping her from losing her composure further.

He looked at Qiao Xi inquiringly.

The girl in front of him is much younger than his daughter.

But I was able to negotiate with him on an equal footing.

I really underestimated her before.

He said calmly, "If we agree, what price will you sell your herbs for?"

"10% premium."

Qiao Xi naturally wouldn't sell it at the original price.

But a 10% premium is not too much. It is much better than 20 times.

Lu Bannong thought she would ask for a high price, but he didn't expect it to be just a 10% premium, which was indeed not high.

It can barely be considered as conscience!

“How many years can you provide us?”

"We will support the Lu family for as many years as they need." She also does not lose out by doing business.

Although Xu Yunye put the plantation and the medicinal herb factories under her name, Qiao Xi wanted to give all the profits to him.

Consider it as a way to repay him for his hard work.

Lu Bannong was considering whether what she said was true or false.

The news of Cheng Han's death has spread.

The rule of dividing the north and the south was meant to prevent Cheng Han from making a comeback, but who would have thought that he would just retire.

Now dead.

There is no threat anymore.

And the reputation of their Lu family is at its peak.

but.

What is Qiao Xi's purpose in proposing to abolish this rule at this time?

Qiao Xi looked at the change in his expression and asked, "President Lu, have you thought about it?"
