Chapter 437 Thick Face and Black Heart
"Take the woman outside away." Zhang Zhiyao said loudly.
Shen Qingqian heard Ma Tingting crying again outside the house, but this time her voice was getting farther and farther away and soon could no longer be heard.
"Shopkeeper Yu, how much is this detoxification pill?" No one interrupted him, and Zhang Zhiyao looked at Shopkeeper Yu and asked.
There is nothing more to say. This thing is so effective that you must keep some at home.
Shopkeeper Yu chuckled and said, "Sir, this medicine hasn't been officially sold yet. Because it uses rare herbs, the price is indeed higher than ordinary medicine. We sell it by the pill. The bottle you have in your hand is the only one we have."
He didn't tell Zhang Zhiyao how much it cost, but told him indirectly that this thing was precious and not cheap, so he should be prepared to be ripped off.
Zhang Zhiyao had been in the officialdom for many years, so how could he not hear the hidden meaning in his words? He immediately smiled and said, "The price is easy to negotiate. After all, it's a life-saving drug. I understand."
Shopkeeper Yu didn't keep the secret any longer and held up five fingers. "This is the price for one."
"Five taels of silver," Zhang Zhiyao asked indifferently.
He still has this little money.
Shopkeeper Yu shook his head. "No, our detoxification pills are not easy to make. The one we gave you is of the best quality. Jingrentang plans to sell it for fifty taels of silver each."
Zhang Zhiyao's mouth twitched and his expression changed.
Jing Ren Tang is crazy! Fifty taels for one pill. If they can sell it, it would be a miracle!
However, Shopkeeper Yu refused to give in at all and insisted on taking at least forty taels, and that was because Zhang Zhiyao was the prefect.
Zhang Zhiyao was helpless. He glared at Zhang Dong who was sleeping unconscious, and gritted his teeth to buy ten.
You loser bastard! When you get better, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!
No one knew what Zhang Zhiyao was thinking. The housekeeper gave Manager Yu a silver note worth four hundred taels and respectfully sent the two away.
After leaving Zhang's house, Manager Yu and Shen Qingqian got on the carriage. Two streets away from Zhang's house, Manager Yu handed the banknote to Shen Qingqian with a hearty laugh.
"Sixth Miss, we at Jingrentang are in charge of this business!"
The rich and powerful value their lives and have plenty of money, so we must make a fortune from this medicine.
Shen Qingqian took it generously, put it directly into her arms, pursed her lips and smiled, "Shopkeeper Yu is still good at doing business."
She expected the detoxification pill to cost thirty taels of silver per bottle, but Manager Yu increased the price by more than ten times, truly a profiteer.
"Don't worry, Sixth Miss. We at Jingrentang won't treat ordinary people like this. Every year we hold free clinics and provide medical care and medicine to people who can't afford medical treatment. It can be considered as robbing the rich to help the poor." Shopkeeper Yu said with a smile.
Shen Qingqian cupped her hands and said sincerely, "I admire you!"
I really admire you.
What he said to Zhang Zhiyao just now was absolutely amazing. What did he mean by "the ones for Zhang Dong are of the best quality"? Doesn't that mean there are other prices?
In short, the price of this medicine depends on the person. For the powerful and wealthy, it is fifty taels per pill, while for ordinary people, it may be five taels of silver per bottle. The prices are different, but the medicine inside is the same.
Shen Qingqian sighed in her heart, it seems that her business thinking is still not good enough, she can't compare to others who are thick-skinned and ruthless, she still needs to learn more.
"I dare not," Shopkeeper Yu waved his hand, then said solemnly, "Regarding the cooperation we discussed earlier, I will consult our boss and report the profit-sharing ratio as you agreed. I should have a reply in half a month at the latest."
Shen Qingqian knew that he would agree, but she thought that they would at least discuss the profit sharing ratio. However, after what happened with Zhang Dong, Manager Yu actually agreed directly.
"Then I'll wait for good news from Manager Yu." Shen Qingqian nodded with a smile.
This matter had a temporary result, but what she didn't know was that just after they left Zhang's house, Zhang Zhiyao had Ma Tingting sent to the Hubei North Army.
