Upon hearing this, everyone in the room fell silent. Cheng Xingye's gaze remained unwavering as he stared intently at Gao Jin and said, "I have some experience with these pharmaceuticals. I can easily verify whether the sulfonamides you have are genuine. How about it? I'll put it this way: as long as your sulfonamides are authentic, with Boss Ma as a witness, I will buy all of your sulfonamides at 30% above the market price, on the condition that we inspect the goods first."
Cheng Xingye had to be cautious. He needed to verify the authenticity of the medicines, especially the sulfonamides, to prevent the other party from cheating and passing off counterfeit products. If that happened, the losses would be enormous. Therefore, he was willing to forgo lowering the price and lose some profits, but he still had to verify the medicines first.
At this moment, the broker Ma San glanced at Gao Jin and saw that he was fearless and confident. He then said, "Boss Gao, it is only natural to inspect the goods before buying them. Otherwise, who would feel at ease paying real money? Besides, this batch of medicine of yours is of great value and not a small amount. How can we talk business without estimating the price first?"
Gao Jin thought about it and felt that it made sense. Finally, he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll take you to inspect the goods. But let me be clear: once the goods are inspected, the price will be non-negotiable. The price of sulfonamides will be 30% higher than the market price. It will be paid in full in US dollars!"
Cheng Xingye slammed his hand on the table with delight and said, "Boss Gao is so straightforward and decisive! As long as the goods are genuine, it's a deal!"
Everyone got up, got into their own cars, and drove quickly to the Macheng Warehouse in the north of the city.
Gao Jin handed his delivery note to the warehouse manager and said, "I need to check the goods."
The manager nodded in agreement, took a set of keys, and led everyone to the warehouse door. Then, he and Gao Jin each took out a key, unlocked the two locks on the door, and turned to leave.
When everyone arrived at the warehouse, Gao Jin pointed to a pile of sacks and said, "The outer layer is grain, and the inside is full of medicine. Check it yourselves, but be careful not to damage it. Any damage to the medicine will be your responsibility."
Cheng Xingye nodded and said, "Don't worry, Boss Gao, we're not novices, we'll finish the investigation quickly!"
Time passed slowly, and when Cheng Xingye finally finished testing all the medicines, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
He said to Gao Jin, "Boss Gao, I didn't expect all the Yunnan Baiyao to be of the highest quality, and the sulfonamides are all genuine. There are a full five boxes of them. Boss Gao, you really have connections everywhere. I admire you to the core!"
Gao Jin laughed heartily after hearing this, saying, "Boss Cheng, you flatter me. These are all the money my brothers risked their lives for. We're counting on this money to retire and go home to live out our retirement!"
At this moment, the broker Ma San spoke up promptly: "Boss Zhu, Boss Cheng has finished inspecting these goods. What should we say about the price? Sulfonamides are 30% higher than the market price, plus these are the best wound medicines, so it's $32,000! Boss Cheng, do you have any objections to this price?"
Of course, he wanted to push the price up further, since his cut was based on the transaction volume!
He used to deal with Zhu Hongbo, but he didn't expect that this time it was this Boss Cheng who was in charge. It seems that this is the real big boss, so he simply asked Cheng Xingye for the price directly!
Cheng Xingye's face immediately darkened, and he gave a cold laugh: "Mr. Ma, don't you know the market price for pharmaceuticals? By pushing the price up so high, you're making a profit, but we're suffering huge losses!"
Gao Jin was unfamiliar with the pharmaceutical industry and didn't know how to bargain at all, so he had already entrusted everything to Ma San.
After much bargaining between Ma San and Cheng Xingye, the price was finally settled at $30,000.
After the two parties reached an agreement, Cheng Xingye said to Gao Jin, "Boss Gao, I didn't expect you to have so much goods before I came. This amount is too large, far exceeding my expectations. I don't have that much cash on hand. Give me three days to raise the funds, and then we can complete the transaction by exchanging money for goods."
