Chapter 112 Negotiation & Huge Wealth
The Sato family came again, and this time, not only them came, but also Aunt Sato came.
Since returning to China that year, Jin Yue and Sato Miko have kept in touch, writing letters, sending postcards and some simple snacks to each other. Through Miko, a girl with a strong desire to share, Jin Yue has learned a lot about Aunt Sato.
Sato Shizuka is still called Sato Shizuka and has not changed her name to her husband's surname. In a country like Japan, the husband takes the wife's surname, which is enough to show how strong her position in the family is.
Shizuka Sato is a typical businessman. She has a big business in Japan, which is mainly involved in the production of biopharmaceutical and sanitary products, and has considerable profits. Because of the large business and the busy schedule, she seldom has the opportunity to meet with the younger generations of the family. In addition, she and her nephew Sato do not get along well in terms of personality, so the two of them only see each other a few times a year.
A few years ago, when I helped Jin Yue contact sanitary napkin production equipment, the two aunt and niece met for the first time outside of family worship, and they were obviously very unfamiliar and awkward.
It took a lot of effort to invite her to Longguo yesterday. In Miko's words, the richest person in the Sato family is not her father, but her aunt. Wherever her aunt is, there is wealth.
Therefore, the first thing Jin Yue did when the two parties met at Shilan Hotel was to observe the woman with half-haired and radiant face.
Sato is almost fifty years old, but his aunt Sato Shizuka looks only in her early fifties. She is thin and straight, with grandma-gray hair curled into curls, two pearl earrings that look very expensive and rare, a beautiful and simple pearl necklace, and two rings, a bracelet, and a watch on her thin hands with distinct veins... With Jin Yue's vision and knowledge, he has no idea what brand the watch is.
The way she was dressed was very much in line with the image of upper-class old ladies in later Japanese dramas.
In order to take care of Jin Yue who did not understand Japanese, and also to show their home advantage, Xu Duan used Chinese to communicate with them from the very beginning, and Sato and his nephew had no objection. In particular, Shizuka Sato's Chinese is better than her nephew's, so they can communicate without any obstacles.
The two sides first exchanged some business flattery, and after drinking half a cup of tea, they officially got down to business.
"I am very optimistic about Dr. Shu's rhinitis medicine. I would like to become your agent in Japan. What conditions do I need to meet?" Shizuka Sato took a sip of tea.
"To be honest with you, Ms. Shizuka, we have no shortage of agents for our rhinitis medicine formula, but because Meiko is our friend, under the same conditions, we will give priority to her relatives. Our condition is..."
Xu Duan paused and continued, "First, you must purchase medicines on a quarterly basis, with no less than one thousand doses each time. Payment must be made before delivery. Second, the original packaging of the medicines must be guaranteed, and no secondary changes or re-sales of the medicines under a different name or packaging are allowed. Third, you must have sufficient funds to bear the purchase costs, transportation costs, tariffs and other taxes on your own. The markup on the medicines cannot exceed 60% of our shipping price..."
He ordered one thousand copies. Jin Yue didn't agree at first. She thought it was too many. After all, this was medicine, not food, and not everyone could need it. But he insisted.
He has done a detailed market research. The number of rhinitis patients in Japan is huge. If it is not controlled, it will reach the level of universal disease in another 30 years. One thousand doses a quarter is really not a lot, and there is still a shortage of supply.
And one thousand copies means one hundred and twenty thousand, which is a well-deserved huge income.
Yes, the price of rhinitis medicine sold to Japan has increased again, to 120 yuan per box, but only people like Jin Yue Xu Duan and Kang Yongxin know how low the cost is.
Twelve thousand a quarter, four hundred and eighty thousand a year, this money is like finding it for free.
After listening to this, Sato Shizuka nodded slightly, "Okay, I can accept it."
Jin Yue's palms tightened, and she glanced at Xu Duan secretly. She knew that he was right again. He expected that Sato Shizuka would readily agree to these requests, and what he wanted was her agreement, because he had another trick up his sleeve -
Xu Duan took a sip of the tea and said, "However, we have a small favor to ask."
Generally, these additional requirements are not a big deal, but as soon as Shizuka Sato met Dr. Shu, she knew that the man next to him was not simple. He was not like Dr. Shu who devoted himself to studying technology and did not care about worldly affairs. He was a qualified businessman.
The purpose of a businessman is to maximize profits.
She couldn't help but fiddle with the bracelet on her wrist, "Go ahead."
"We would like to ask Ms. Shizuka to also be our agent for another drug."
"Gastric Lifting Liquid?" Shizuka Sato frowned. Isn't this what Doctor Kobayashi does? Although her nephew tore him apart, the news only spread in the health field. In the eyes of ordinary people, Gastric Lifting Liquid is still "the miracle medicine invented by Doctor Kobayashi". Some people even only recognize the one sold by Kobayashi.
She wants to snatch the piece of meat from Xiaolin's mouth. Will Xiaolin agree? That was the meat he had been chewing for nearly ten years!
It is undeniable that Kobayashi has contributed a lot to the fame of Weishengye. He was the one who built the brand reputation and established the sales channels and market network. Even a fool would not be willing to take advantage of him now.
"Don't worry, we have stopped exporting it since the end of last year. Now it's hard to find a box of Weisheng Liquid in the Japanese market. You just need to sell it boldly."
Sato Shizuka pulled the corners of her mouth, and the two wrinkles on her face were like two sharp fish hooks. "Oh, Mr. Xu Duan is really a joker. Do you know how powerful Xiao Lin is in Japan? You said it in a nice way. Let us fight him, and you will reap the benefits, right?"
Xu Duan also smiled, "Ms. Shizuka, you misunderstood. This is just a small request from us. We will not write this into the contract, and it has no impact on our cooperation. Of course, if I remember correctly, the price of Weisheng Liquid is very high in your place, and the profit is much higher than that of rhinitis medicine. I believe that as an excellent businessman, you will not miss any profitable business, right?"
"But if the cost of making money is too high and you create an enemy that is too powerful, then the loss will outweigh the gain."
Xu Duan didn't say anything and drank his tea calmly, as if he didn't hear what she said.
Not expressing one's opinion is actually the strongest attitude. He said it was okay and it would not affect the cooperation, but he did not take the next step for a long time. He made it clear that he wanted to take this "small unwelcome request" as a condition for cooperation.
This Xu Duan is really shrewd and calculating! Shizuka Sato was a little angry. She had been immersed in the business world for many years and it was rare for her to be angered by a young man.
In fact, Shu Jinyue could understand her difficulties, but she had tolerated Xiaolin for long enough. She was willing to cooperate with Sato Shizuka because she had observed her character from many aspects and knew that although she was a female Rakshasa that everyone feared, she was indeed a principled person, at least more principled than Xiaolin.
It doesn't mean that she is much better than Xiao Lin, but after weighing the pros and cons, Xu Duan also feels that the advantages of cooperating with her outweigh the disadvantages for the time being.
Although Sato Shizuka was slightly angry, she didn't say anything. After thinking for half a minute, she said, "We need to discuss this further."
The two sides had a simple business lunch, and except for Konkoshi and Miko, no one else could taste the food.
Miko took Jinyue's hand and whispered, "You know, Jinyue, my father received a special invitation from a university in your country. They plan to hire my father to teach."
Jin Yue was stunned, "What university?"
"Jingshi University. I only know it's in Jingshi. Senior Brother Mo Shuyi recommended it to me. He said that if my father is willing to come, he will provide our family with very good living conditions."
Jin Yue was stunned. In fact, she had also thought about poaching Sato, a pro-dragon expert, so she had been maintaining contact with Miko, thinking of keeping in touch for a few more years. After their relationship became closer, Sato happened to retire from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Tokyo. If she took the initiative to do this, it would take a few years to keep the pig in the pig's mouth, right?
But Mo Shuyi, a guy who wanted to squeeze every last drop of surplus value out of his teacher, actually took action directly!
Now, Sato is still several years away from retirement!
Jin Yue suppressed his ecstasy, "Do you want to come? To be honest, I hope your whole family can come, so that we can meet often, and you can also come to our house for dinner often. My father's cooking is better than my mother's!"
Meizi's eyes were full of stars: "I want to, too. Don't worry, I will do my best to persuade my father, damn dad!"
The more Shu Jin wanted to laugh, she did date Meizi with the intention of poaching her father, but she also really liked her innocence and cuteness. Seeing her was like seeing herself as a child.
What’s wrong with being friends with yourself?
However, Meizi's focus was: "Jinyue, is it true that your father's cooking is better than your mother's?"
Jin Yue paused, "Share the food."
"He cooks better noodles and snacks than my mom, because he is full of enthusiasm and a spirit of experimentation, and he always tries something new." Zhao Wanqiu worked as a housewife for many years after retirement, and she also mastered her cooking skills. "My mom's braised pork, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, and fried pork intestines... oh no, it's Mapo tofu, which are all quite delicious."
Meizi's favorite is the sweet mapo tofu. She immediately felt that the dishes on the table were not fragrant. "Can I come to your house for dinner in a few days? Just once, okay? My father has to go to Beijing in a few days. If I don't go, I will stay in the bookstore to play with you."
"Of course." From what he said, Sato seemed to be somewhat interested in the olive branch from Jing City University. If he told Mo Shuyi this news and asked the university to make more efforts, the chances of success might be higher.
By the way, I would also like to remind the comrades in charge of reception that Sato likes to eat sweet tofu, oh no, no, it’s the sweet Mapo tofu.
***
When they got home in the evening, they washed up and lay on the kang. Jin Yue was humming with joy.
Xu Duan came in wiping his hair, "Why are you so happy? The cooperation hasn't been finalized yet."
"Hehe, you don't know. I'm naturally happy that the cooperation is successful, but I'm even happier about the news I heard today."
Xu Duan became interested and sat on the kang, "Tell me about it."
Jin Yue babble and babble about the news that the cute little Meizi accidentally revealed. Xu Duan nodded, but he was not a professional. "Can you tell me, according to your understanding, what kind of diseases Sato is good at, or what he has?"
Jin Yue sat up cross-legged, and now there was something to talk about!
"He has a lot of advanced equipment, processes and experience in clinical trials and animal experiments. He can bring these things wherever he goes. It is a fully mature template that can be directly applied. It is equivalent to directly copying and pasting! If our country wants to develop in this area in the future, he will be a ready-made teacher with teaching aids!"
His experience is recognized by the whole world and accepted by the mainstream West. Long country has just started its reform and opening up not long ago. If it wants to catch up with everyone, it is in great need of a group of ready-made teachers from the Western world who are well versed in the rules of the Western world.
"That's right. This can help us avoid many detours." Xu Duan nodded, encouraged her to continue, and even poured her a glass of warm water.
Jin Yue took two sips and said, "Moreover, many of the trials for the world's most commonly used cardiology drugs were conducted by him. However, Longguo currently has no channels to import most of the cardiovascular drugs. If we directly poach this powerful general, what we will get is simply unimaginable."
"More diverse import channels, more favorable prices, and even a group of people specially sent to learn from him, so as to develop our own patented cardiology drugs in the future." When Xu Duan thought of that scene, he had to admit that he had not thought far enough before.
At the beginning, he actually just wanted Jin Yue to use these resources to buy Sato Shizuka's sanitary napkin production line. He actually didn't think of poaching such a big shot like Sato and using her for his own purposes.
I wasn't farsighted enough before.
"Oh, you didn't expect that it's because your family has a blood feud with the Japanese. Your heart must be different from ours. I can only think of it because Mo Shuyi kept talking to me about how great his mentor is. The key is that he is a complete pro-dragon faction!"
If they were pro-M, pro-Soviet, or even anti-Long people, and were paid to come to Long Country to do research, she would still worry that they might be spies.
But as for the pro-Dragon faction, she has the idea and confidence to poach people.
"It is said that science has no borders, but scientists have a motherland. We must now find a way to turn Longguo into his 'motherland'."
Xu Duan frowned. "I need to call Yang Guodong about this. He knows someone in the United Front Work Department. I'll ask them to go to Sato's grandmother's hometown, which is in the Jiaodong area, to find out if there are any relatives still alive. We can start a journey to find his roots and educate him with culture..."
Jin Yue couldn't help but burst out laughing. The more he listened, the funnier it became. The scene of old man Sato returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors suddenly appeared in his mind!
"I think that's what the south does. They invite Chinese businessmen and politicians who have a certain social status in Southeast Asia to come back and do some activities. This is also a way to attract investment and promote employment."
Jin Yue didn't quite understand this, but she believed in Xu Duan's sensitivity, "Okay."
She stretched lazily. "By the way, if I tell you one more thing, you have to move faster and faster."
"Sato has not only made great achievements in cardiovascular medicine, he has also developed a new type of implantable pacemaker that has not yet been released!"
Xu Duan just lay down, then sat up again, "Is it the instrument used on the heart?"
"Yes, it is mainly used in cases of slow heart rate, weak heart contraction and cardiac arrest. Although many people are healthy now, they are prone to cardiovascular problems as they age, especially for important leaders and scientists who are in important positions and work under great pressure for a long time. Installing a pacemaker is tantamount to saving lives."
Xu Duan had a serious expression on his face, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"But our country's research in this area is very shallow and backward. We haven't even reached the minimum level of the general international level, let alone... Of course, the mainstream pacemakers in the world currently need to replace the battery every 1 to 2 years. The most advanced ones also need to be equipped with a microprocessor to turn it on when needed and off when not needed... The pacemaker studied by Sato uses a battery made of a special material that can provide continuous power for up to ten years and can also adjust the patient's heart rate according to the humidity of the patient's blood."
"How do you know? Is the information reliable?"
Jin Yue yawned, "It should be reliable. Meizi mentioned in a letter that her father brought back a set of exquisite tableware from Sweden for her mother in 1960. It was broken last year, and her mother was very sad because it was her father's favorite gift from their three-year long-distance relationship. So I asked Mo Shuyi if he could buy her a similar set and send it to her."
Unexpectedly, Mo Shuyi said that his mentor's public resume did not mention the three-year trip to Sweden. But Meizi would not lie, so he felt something was wrong and asked for some more details. Suddenly, he remembered the pacemaker.
"Sato should have participated in the development of the first generation of pacemakers in Sweden in the 1950s and 1960s, and he has continued his research in recent years. I asked Miko tentatively, and it turned out to be true."
Therefore, they speculated that Sato still had a heavy "weapon" in his hand, and perhaps few people even in Japan knew about it.
The veins on Xu Duan's hands were bulging, showing that he was really excited. "Okay, I'll make the call now. You should spend some time playing with Meiko during this time." Only he knew that if this pacemaker was mastered by someone with ulterior motives and combined with some remotely controlled technologies, the consequences would be disastrous.
Shu Jinyue yawned. She was really sleepy. She had been excited all night and it was time to go to sleep.
When he came back from the call, she asked dazedly, "Are you done?"
"Yeah." He leaned over, "You sleep, and I do mine."
Shu Jinyue was speechless. What kind of person is this? "Don't study too hard. Your period came back a few days ago."
They have been preparing for several months or even half a year, but her period still comes without a day late. Jin Yue is a little frustrated. How can it be so difficult to get pregnant? They are good in every way, but why can't they get pregnant?
"Don't think too much, just go with the flow."
"Yeah, we're busy lately anyway."
***
Sure enough, Shu Jinyue was busy in the next few days. In addition to her daily outpatient work, she also took Meizi to visit the bookstore.
Book City is a great place. There are various terrains around the city, including plains, plateaus, hills, etc. It also has unique karst landforms and plateau freshwater lakes. As long as you walk far enough, you can see many landscapes that you have only learned about in geography books. Miko, a child who grew up in the big city of Tokyo, was tired of tall buildings and cars and liked natural lakes and rivers. For this reason, Jin Yue took her to Lijia Village for two days.
Mother Li's family has made money from raising bullfrogs and their pockets are bulging. No one in the family wants to split up anymore, and they all rally around Mother Li. If Mother Li says go east, no one will go west. In the past two years, they have built several new brick houses and bought a TV. They are now the most prosperous family in the entire Lijia Village.
Meizi ate the fennel cake that Jinyue had described to her that year, and she licked her tongue in delight. "It's so delicious!"
"You are so skinny, girl. Eat more and gain some weight so you won't get sick easily. My little firecracker is a big eater and the strongest kid in the village. If we didn't tell him, who would have known that his mother had tuberculosis when she was pregnant with him?"
Jin Yue thought to herself: Here it comes again. Mother Li brags to everyone about how she cured Mrs. Li San's tuberculosis during her pregnancy with Chinese medicine.
As expected, Miko wanted to ask what happened. When she heard that it was Jin Yue who cured her, she quickly said that she used to be even thinner than this, only half of her current weight, and it was all thanks to Jin Yue who helped her with her treatment and called her in the middle of the night to ask about her health. After she returned to Japan, she often thought of Jin Yue's kindness.
Shu Jinyue felt embarrassed by their praises. She didn't feel that she had made much effort or sacrifice. She was just fulfilling her duties as a doctor.
After playing with them for two days, Jin Yue returned to her post. After thinking for a few days, Wang Manli finally decided to accept her idea of "treating liver with stomach problems" and she came to the clinic.
Shu Jinyue saw that she had lost some weight after not seeing her for a few days, and his mood was very complicated. Wang Manli's condition was completely delayed. "Chinese medicine can only adjust your sick body, but you still need to find ways to save your sick heart, understand?"
Wang Manli wanted to cry again, "How...how can I save myself?"
"Find something to do to distract yourself, and then think more about positive things, and don't recall the sad things in the past. In fact, what I said is just empty talk. It depends on you to really do it, you know?"
Wang Manli seemed to understand, but Jin Yue didn't want to explain any more because she believed that many people had said the same old words to her.
Anyone can talk big and empty words, but whether it is effective or not depends on her, not on bystanders. Shu Jinyue really can't give her more help other than medicine, and she has to walk the rest of the way on her own.
***
The good news is that after Wang Manli drank the Chinese medicine for a week, her stomach pain symptoms were indeed relieved a lot, her diarrhea also improved a lot, her appetite increased slightly, and her complexion became rosy.
The bad news is that she still often feels sad and wants to cry, and tears flow in the wind. Teacher Wang Mingchao secretly finds Jin Yue for this, hoping that she can enlighten her.
Shu Jinyue was really helpless, there was nothing she could do.
Although Kang Yuqiong, Ma Xiaomei and Wang Xiaohong didn't want to live at the beginning, they at least still had "obsessions", such as believing in Buddhism, liking writing, or wanting to get rid of their "slut" men. They had a purpose to live.
But Wang Manli didn't do that. She felt bored after losing her uterus.
"Teacher Wang, no matter how much we persuade her in this matter, it is actually of no use. It all depends on her. Do you think we can give her some small animals?" They can not only provide companionship but also enhance her sense of responsibility. When she wants to die, she can think more about these small animals that rely on her wholeheartedly.
Wang Mingchao hadn't thought of this trick. "She does like cats and dogs. I'll ask her."
After seeing off Teacher Wang, Xu Duan just arrived home, and Jin Yue asked quickly, "How is it?"
"Sato Shizuka is a businesswoman, she won't give in. The condition she's given now is that she can help promote the rhinitis medicine regardless of the cost, and she won't pass the cost on to us no matter how much it is."
But he still didn't want to conflict with Kobayashi.
"Then do you think that if we keep talking for a few more days, she might give in?"
Xu Duan thought about the feelings from these two contacts and shook his head.
"Kobayashi has deep roots in Japan. In addition to having many followers and a large base, he also has a lot of cooperation with major hospitals and pharmaceutical companies. He has a lot of resources. Sato Shizuka doesn't need to offend him for such a small benefit."
Shu Jinyue was very angry. Sato Shizuka was much smarter than her nephew. She always put interests first and would not give in as long as her personal interests were touched.
"It's okay. Let's stabilize our position and observe for a while. Maybe there will be a turnaround."
Jin Yue thought the same thing and said, "Okay, let's go, let's go out quickly, otherwise we will miss Qingqing's dinner if we are any later."
Yao Qingqing and Mo Shuyi's son is celebrating his 100th birthday today, and they have invited some relatives and friends to dinner. Jin Yue didn't have to worry about anything, because Xu Duan had already prepared gifts in advance, which was a very warm cashmere blanket and a children's sweater knitted by Mrs. Zhao. It was originally intended to be given to Jin Yue's child, but Jin Yue has been married for several years and there has been no news. The clothes would have become old if they were kept there. It would be okay to give this kind of thing with beautiful meaning to a friend.
The two of them rode their bikes onto the road, and Jin Yue hugged Xu Duan's waist, "When do you think we can have a child?"
Xu Duan didn't even turn his head, "You want it? I'll try harder tonight."
Shu Jinyue pinched him, "What nonsense."
She just kept repeating this and didn't take it seriously. When preparing for pregnancy, she would be quite excited in the first three months, but after the "novelty" of those three months, she didn't feel anything anymore and even forgot about it when she was busy.
As they were talking, the two of them came to Jinyu Hutong and went back to check on Xu Ping and Zhang Zhen first. It was rare for the couple to be at home together, one was reading in the study, and the other was tending to flowers and plants in the yard.
"Jinyue is here, go in and have some fruit. Xu Duan's old comrade who delivered mangoes is here again. He just delivered it yesterday. He thought you lived here, and I said I would deliver it to you tomorrow when I go to work."
Jin Yue was not polite either. He called "Big Brother" and "Sister-in-law" and started showing off as soon as he entered the room.
Mangoes are in season this time of year, golden and fragrant, juicy, fragrant and sweet. She can eat four or five by herself.
"How are things going recently?" Xu Ping put down the watering can and washed his hands. "I heard that your factory has just opened and you have received several orders from Changchun?"
Xu Duan followed his elder brother into the living room and helped his wife peel a few lychees. "I used to know a deputy director over there. I just opened the business and asked him to take care of my business."
"You're famous in our book city industry system for getting such an order at the very beginning." If this was a state-owned factory, everyone would understand, after all, it had the national plan allocation as a guarantee. But this was a private factory that had just been established not long ago. It was said that even the funds for setting up the factory were borrowed from the bank. Getting a big order from an old state-owned automobile factory in Northeast China was a matter that was enough to shock the entire industry.
"Although there is a personal relationship, this also means that they recognize your skills. Your parameters were calibrated and approved by Siqi and Shang Guangming, right?"
Xu Duan smiled and said, "Yes, don't make it difficult for Shang Guangming. I asked him for help."
Xu Ping laughed. "Why should I make things difficult for him? Someone in the factory did report him for technology speculation, but it's hard to define... As long as it doesn't affect their jobs and doesn't leak commercial secrets, I encourage them to use their spare time to work in township enterprises. Maybe they will need this work experience to get promoted in the future."
Reporting nowadays is not like before when you could just write a big-character poster. It requires evidence. Otherwise it is considered a false accusation and a revival of the Cultural Revolution. After the facts are investigated, you will be criticized.
Xu Ping has been the director of a machinery factory for so many years, and he hates this kind of thing the most. Once he finds it, he will deal with it severely.
Therefore, the current Shucheng City Machinery Factory is a breath of fresh air in the industrial sector, and it has been so clean for so many years since it resumed work.
The two brothers chatted, Jin Yue ate a bellyful of fruit, and Zhang Zhen also came over, "You guys came back, I heard the noise, but I was just writing a key point in the article, so I didn't come over."
"It's okay, sister-in-law, take a rest."
Zhang Zhen is now the deputy director of the municipal hospital in charge of business. She rarely performs surgery 24 hours a day, but when she encounters a situation that the doctors below cannot handle, she still has to pick up the scalpel. Now the authorities are calling for the country to be revitalized through science and technology, and science and technology are the primary productive forces. People with lofty ideals have begun to write articles and do scientific research, hoping to share the technology they have mastered selflessly through these channels, so that the entire industry can improve and progress together.
Zhang Zhen happens to be one of the best among them, publishing an article every month on average, which is really productive!
The two sisters-in-law talked about health and medical matters, while the two brothers talked about industrial matters. They chatted for almost an hour before they went to the Yao family next door.
Although he often meets with good friends, Jin Yue feels surprised every time he sees them. After giving birth, Yao Qingqing has become much plumper, with a rosy complexion, bright eyes, and no sign of fatigue from taking care of a baby. She is different from Li Yulan that Jin Yue had met at that time and so many other women in the compound.
Every time, she couldn't help but sigh that money is really a good thing.
In addition to Aunt Feng, Yao Qingqing's family now also hires a long-term nanny to take care of the baby. After her maternity leave is over, she will go back to work. When she comes home, there will be ready-made meals and clean clothes to wear. The baby is also kept clean and healthy, and is very close to her.
The most important thing is Mo Shuyi, who gives his monthly salary, including the receipt, to Yao Qingqing. He eats in the hospital cafeteria whenever he is at work, and doesn't spend any money at all. He doesn't have to spend a penny on himself for a month, and he uses whatever Qingqing buys for clothes and things... Such behavior really gives Qingqing a sense of security, and she feels happy, and becomes even more beautiful.
Shu Jinyue took her hand and said, "Congratulations, Comrade Yao Qingqing, who is becoming more and more beautiful."
"Any movement?"
Jin Yue shook her head slightly, but she was no longer in a hurry. "No hurry. We've been busy these few years anyway."
"You and Brother Xu are always busy, but it's okay. You are still young and there is no rush. It's a good thing to enjoy your two-person world for two more years."
Today, I looked at their son, who was only one year old, but he could already walk. He could walk for a long time with the help of an adult, but if he walked ten steps alone, he would start to act like a spoiled child. However, he was chubby and had a very round face, so no one could bear to lose their temper with him.
The chubby little boy has a face shape like Qingqing, but his facial features are more like Mo Shuyi. He should grow up to be a cute little sun-like handsome boy.
Mo Shuyi's outfit today is quite casual, and he is still humorous and handsome. Even though he has retired from the hospital, his stories are still circulating in the provincial hospital.
Jin Yue knew many of the guests invited today, having met them at work. It was also the first time for everyone to see her come with her lover, and they were all privately asking about Xu Duan's situation.
"The boss of the Xinghua Auto Parts Factory in the Economic Development Zone."
"It's such a big factory, and the factory director is so young? I think he's just in his early thirties."
"But I heard that it seems to be a privately-run factory, similar in nature to a township enterprise."
"So what? There are so many people rushing to join the sea business now. He used to be an official in the Material Bureau and even a section chief. He can do big business once he joins the sea business."
"That's right. Didn't you see that Dr. Shu also opened a clinic outside? According to our old concept, if eating from a big pot is delicious, her behavior would not be favored. But look at how many outpatient clinics she has now. Her registration fee alone is equivalent to our monthly salary. Even so, how many people come to line up three days in advance!"
Mo Shuyi's colleagues present, including senior directors and deputy directors as well as young doctors who were short of patients, were extremely envious when they heard that she couldn't get an appointment even three days in advance.
"One dollar per number, and our director only makes 35 cents. She sees one number, which is equivalent to the director seeing three."
"If you add the money for the medicine, her clinic actually makes a very considerable profit." Everyone is in the same system and knows something about costs and profits. A small-scale private clinic like hers has very low costs but very considerable profits.
Someone has already calculated in his mind that Shu Jinyue sees 80 outpatient visits on average every day, three days a week, so if you round it up, she would earn at least 1,000 yuan in medical fees a month. As each patient costs about three yuan for medicine, that would be 3,000 yuan a month. The profit would vary depending on the purchase channel, but it would be at least eight or nine hundred yuan in profit, which means she could earn nearly two thousand yuan a month!
The salary she earned at the health and epidemic prevention station was just enough to buy groceries.
After this calculation, everyone felt uncomfortable. Some were envious, some were jealous, but of course more of them were admiring. After all, everyone wanted to earn this money, but only Shu Jinyue could earn it. In an industry where strength is the key, strength is the greatest confidence, isn't it? Of course, they don’t know that the bulk of Jin Yue’s income does not come from clinic fees and drug profits.
After entertaining a bunch of colleagues who came to toast him, Jin Yue felt a little tired and couldn't eat much. He stayed with Yao Qingqing's parents-in-law and took care of the child for a while before going home with Xu Duan.

The next day, Shizuka Sato took the initiative to negotiate with Xu Duan again. This was the third time they talked. This time she finally expressed her willingness to be the agent of Wei Sheng Ye, but asked Jin Yue to sell her two more beauty and skin care recipes.
This time it’s a sale, a complete buyout.
Shu Jinyue was a little embarrassed about this. She had quite a few prescriptions, and her elder and younger sisters-in-law had benefited a lot from them in the past few years. She ground the herbs into powder and made her own facial masks with egg white or milk. She couldn't say anything else, but she had personally tested the four effects of whitening, lightening spots, moisturizing and refining pores, and they were absolutely effective.
"My suggestion is that you can sell it, but you must let her keep your name. That is, no matter what her name is, you must add the two Chinese characters '今越' in front of it."
Jin Yue's eyes lit up, "Is it okay?"
"She probably wouldn't agree at first, but she doesn't intend to return empty-handed this time, otherwise she wouldn't have argued with us for so long." It can be seen that Shizuka Sato is a person who does things very efficiently and cleanly. The fact that she could argue for so long is enough to prove that she is determined to get it this time and take something back.
"I don't know which type of product you lesbians like the most. Just pick a more niche one and sell one to her."
"One? Didn't you say two?"
Xu Duan wanted to laugh when he saw her eyes. She was kind after all. In business, it was impossible to just follow what the other party said. "I need to negotiate with her. One at most. And the price must satisfy us. It's up to her whether she wants it or not."
"That's probably what's called a sunk cost. As a successful businessman, Shizuka Sato's time can be exchanged for huge amounts of money. She's already wasted so much time in Dragon Country this time. If she can't agree on the price at the last minute, she'll be very frustrated and angry. It means all her time and energy in the early stages have been wasted, so she'll be more inclined to agree on a deal."
Shu Jinyue nodded, "Okay, okay, I don't understand anyway, you go and talk, I won't show up, if Meizi is here, I'll be embarrassed too."
You see, this is what kind people would feel embarrassed about. A true businessman only cares about profits, not face or embarrassment.
Xu Duan was reluctant to let her waste her time on something that he could do for her, so he left Sato Shizuka alone for two days and finally told her that she could sell it, but only the one with pore tightening effect. If she needed it, they could negotiate the price.
Shizuka Sato was almost so angry that she vomited blood and wanted to curse, but then she remembered that she had already paid so much in the early stage, so she could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger. In the end, the two sides negotiated back and forth and agreed on the price of 600,000 Dragon Country coins.

A few days later, Shu Jinyue took the check and counted the zeros on it, "Is it really six hundred thousand?!"
“The real deal.”
"But that's... just a prescription. It's not for saving lives, nor for curing diseases. It's just a beauty prescription. Is it really worth so much money?"
Xu Duan laughed, "As long as she thinks it's worth it." At first he asked for 800,000, but Shizuka Sato was only willing to offer 40. Then he gave a discount and she increased the price. After several rounds of negotiations, they finally agreed on 600,000, which was a price that both parties were satisfied with.
"Of course, we can't use our country's current income level to measure it. We think 600,000 is more than that, but in Sato Shizuka's hands, it's just a drop in the bucket. Don't feel burdened. Besides, we didn't use a fake recipe to deceive her. You don't have to feel guilty. If you really have to feel guilty, just think about it. This is the crystallization of our Dragon people's own wisdom. It's a bargain for them first."
Hey, you know what, when she thought about it this way, Jin Yue didn’t feel guilty at all, she even felt that it was too little!
"There's no need to add another zero. We're not Sister Wang."
Jin Yue smiled awkwardly, "Okay, okay, you're the only one who knows, you understand best, alright, hum!"
The two were laughing and joking when they suddenly heard the little chicken Popcorn outside the door shouting, "Sister Jinyue!"
"What's wrong?"
Popcorn ran out of breath, "My mom and I took my sister to play with Grandma Wanqiu. She said there was a patient who couldn't be treated, so I ran back to call you!"
"What patient?" Jin Yue put on her coat while Xu Duan got into the car, ready to take her there.
"It's an auntie who is pregnant with a baby, auntie, uh uh uh, like this - uh!" She imitated the sound of a goose.
Aunt Zhao and the others heard this and asked hurriedly, "Are you nauseous and want to vomit because you just got pregnant?"
Jimmy is a teenager now, he knows what morning sickness feels like, "No, it's not like that."
Jin Yue suddenly had an idea. "Auntie will keep burping, making 'err err' sounds, and she can't stop, right?"
"Yeah, yeah!"
Someone thought: "It's just like when Feng Chunxia's daughter, Danni, found that person. That's not a strange disease, right?"
"It was very serious. The doctor asked my aunt to have surgery and said she couldn't keep the baby."
Everyone was shocked and stopped discussing Danier, and all looked at Shu Jinyue as if he was a savior.
