856 The Yun Family Falls, the Emperor Eats His Fullness
The holidays are extremely busy for Su Wenqing, the richest man in Dongling. Not only does he have to reconcile accounts at the end of the year, but he also has to take care of things to facilitate the next year.
Even with the support of the Ninth Prince, Su Wenqing still has to take care of other officials, otherwise they may give you face in public but may still plot against you behind your back.
Besides, even if the Ninth Prince has a noble status, he still has to win over officials. Otherwise, why would the officials stay by his side? How would they risk their lives to work for him without any benefits? If the Ninth Prince wants his subordinates to work hard, he cannot disappoint them. Appropriate benefits should still be given to his subordinates.
Su Wenqing could find time to come to Feng Mansion despite his busy schedule, it was impossible for it to be a simple gift. Feng Qingchen thought that she had reported the cooperation with Yun family pharmacy to the Ninth Prince, even if it was revealed, she didn't expect that it was all her wishful thinking, the Ninth Prince didn't tell Su Wenqing at all.
As soon as Feng Qingchen stepped over the threshold with her left foot, she was discovered by Su Wenqing. Su Wenqing jumped up from the chair with a "whoosh" sound, pointed at Feng Qingchen and cursed: "Feng Qingchen, you are so mean, I am so lucky to still consider you a friend."
"How have I been unkind?" Feng Qingchen was shocked. He was also dizzy from checking the gift lists over the past few days and almost fell forward. Fortunately, Tong Jue reacted quickly and helped Feng Qingchen.
"What's not kind about you?" Su Wenqing grinned, folding his arms to admire Feng Qingchen's embarrassment, and waited until Feng Qingchen walked in front of him before saying, "What's kind about you? You didn't even think of me when you had a profitable business. If it wasn't for the rumors outside, I wouldn't have known that you cooperated with the Yun family. Feng Qingchen, you are really good. You don't want your old love when you have a new one, right? What the Yun family can give you, can't I, Su Wenqing, give it to you? What's the matter? Are you worried that I will do something to you? Am I such a mean person?"
Selling pregnancy-preserving drugs is obviously a profitable business, and it can also enhance one's reputation. No matter who gets involved in this, he is guaranteed to gain both fame and fortune.
Between fame and fortune, Su Wenqing values reputation the most. A hot-selling pregnancy-maintaining medicine can make an unknown pharmacy popular and at the same time boost the sales of the pharmacy's finished medicines.
He also runs a medicine business. Although it is profitable, it is still far behind the famous Yun family medicine store. But it is precisely because of this that Su Wenqing is angry. If Feng Qingchen gives the pregnancy-preserving medicine to him to sell, he is confident that he can seize the market share of the Yun family medicine store and make his medicine store as famous as the Yun family medicine store. The result...
It would be fine if Feng Qingchen didn't help him, but she actually helped Yun Xiao, wuwuwu... As a rookie in the pharmaceutical industry, he needs it more.
Su Wenqing looked at Feng Qingchen with resentment. Feng Qingchen was a typical example of not helping him but helping his opponent.
Feng Qingchen felt a little guilty and quickly changed the subject: "I thought it was for some other reason. Why are you so angry about such a small matter? Okay, don't be angry. Sit down. I'll take your pulse and see how your body is recovering."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said it. Once he said it, Su Wenqing gritted his teeth even more: "I'm fine, I'm fine, no need to look, I promise I'm in good health."
Having said that, Su Wenqing still obediently stretched out his hand and let Feng Qingchen take a look.
A man with kidney deficiency cannot afford to be hurt. Although he is much better now, it would be troublesome if any root of the disease is left. It would be a good thing to let Feng Qingchen check him again.
"The pulse is steady and strong, which means he is fine. To be on the safe side, take another dose of medicine to consolidate his condition." Feng Qingchen saw the tiredness between Su Wenqing's eyebrows and knew that he would be busy during the New Year, so he said considerately.
Su Wenqing had no objection. Of course, he had to listen to the doctor's advice on his health. But it was impossible to expect Su Wenqing to not care about the sales rights of pregnancy-preserving drugs based on this point.
"We've finished the treatment, let's talk business now." As a businessman, he never had the good character of letting go after taking advantage. Treatment is one thing, business is another. Su Wenqing looked at Feng Qingchen with a half-smile, "Should we talk about the pregnancy-preserving medicine? Tell me why you chose the Yun family. I admit that the Yun family has the best sales channels, but you should understand that for the sake of the medicine in your hands, I don't mind re-paving the sales channels."
At least Feng Qingchen should have negotiated with a few more companies. How could he have just targeted the Yun family, leaving him without even a chance to compete?
Feng Qingchen explained this question very sincerely: "I thought about looking for you at that time, but I think the Yun family is more suitable. They have ready-made channels and connections, which makes it easier to do. Also, the Yun family needs an opportunity to rise. My cooperation with them is a timely help. You are different. You are already the richest man in Dongling. My cooperation with you is just icing on the cake. Can you accept a 19% profit share without thinking about it? Can you profit from a 19% profit share?"
Feng Qingchen deliberately changed the concept. The 19% split refers to sales volume, not profit, just to tell Su Wenqing that the Yun family did not gain any advantage from her by cooperating with her.
She doesn't understand business, but she knows what it means to maximize her own interests. The Yun family has a ready-made pharmacy and ready-made staff, so even if it's Yijiu's profit, the Yun family will not lose money. But Su Wenqing is different. He has to open a new store. Even if Yijiu gets a share of the sales, Su Wenqing won't make a penny in the early stage.
"190%? You actually proposed such a harsh condition?" Su Wenqing's face twisted: "The Yun family actually agreed. Are you sure you are helping them in times of need, rather than taking advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune from the Yun family?"
Feng Qingchen's business was considered consignment. Normally, the profit was split 70% and 30% between the merchant and the holder of the goods. The merchant split 70% and the person providing the goods split 30%. A conscientious person would split 60% and 40% respectively. In Su Wenqing's eyes, a 19% split like Feng Qingchen was no different from taking advantage of someone's misfortune.
Feng Qingchen rolled his eyes at Su Wenqing and explained unhappily, "Now you understand why I didn't seek cooperation with you. You would never agree to a 190% chance.
Besides, the benefits of this world cannot be monopolized by one person. You are already the richest businessman in Dongling. Even if you don’t think it’s too much, you still have to consider the thoughts of the people above you.
The emperor knows that the person behind you is the Ninth Prince, and the money you earn is used to provide convenience to the Ninth Prince. If you add this profitable business, there is no guarantee that the emperor will not be on guard against you. When the time comes, he will find a crime to kill you openly, and you will be in trouble."
Feng Qingchen was definitely not threatening or exaggerating. Think about what happened to those famous businessmen in history. Shen Wansan and Hu Xueyan were both fattened up by the emperor and then slaughtered with a single blow.
If Su Wenqing continues to behave like this, when the emperor is about to send troops to attack other countries and is out of money, he will definitely think of attacking Su Wenqing. By then, Dong Ling might even tell a good story about "the Su family fell, and the emperor was well fed."
During a snowstorm, the emperors of the four countries took the opportunity to divide up Yunyou's property. If there was another natural disaster and the treasury had no money to save it, they would confiscate the silver without waiting for the emperor to go to war.
No matter how high or low the status of a businessman is, if he plays with the state machinery, he will definitely fail. The Yun family is a lesson for us...
