Chapter 65065 The prosperous Sun family & a good negotiator & half a million...
Only thirty thousand...?
Shu Jinyue had a look of disgust on his face, he really did disdain. She had just asked Mo Shuyi to help her find out about Xiao Lin's background a few days ago. According to that senior sister, he not only has superb medical skills in Japan, but is also good at marketing himself. He has a large number of fan-like patients, several patented drugs, and a chain of private clinics. There are three clinics in Tokyo alone, and many patients are lining up to get his high-priced appointments.
Such a person has assets of at least tens of millions of Dragon Country currency.
And he was only willing to spend 30,000 yuan to buy a formula that was very important to him, which was not even as much as plucking a hair from his leg!
What’s even more infuriating is that he paid the pharmaceutical company $100,000, but only paid her, the actual owner of the secret recipe, $30,000? ! Anyway, because she is young, people think she is a fool and easy to bully!
Just like the college students in later generations, they sympathize with the old grandfathers and grandmothers who still sell vegetables and fruits on the street at their old age. As a result, people take advantage of these young-looking college students and try to take advantage of them. Regular stores even charge higher prices and cheat on the weights than they do!
Shu Jinyue was really unhappy. Since she was unhappy, she couldn't let Xiaolin be happy.
"Why, Dr. Shu is not satisfied? We can negotiate the price. Just name your price."
Shu Jinyue smiled and said, "You really want me to open it? If I do, don't say I'm asking for too much."
"It's okay, please go ahead."
"One million."
Xiao Lin was stunned, "Are you sure?" He wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. This little girl actually dared to ask for such a big sum. Did she know what one million Dragon Country coins meant?
In this country where the average salary is only 30 or 40 yuan, she actually asked for one million yuan!
No matter how good Kobayashi's acting is, the mask is cracked no matter how perfect it is.
Shu Jinyue laughed, "Doctor Xiaolin, do you think my secret recipe is not worth this price? Forget it. The secret recipe I inherited from my master has been passed down in his family for more than 500 years. It came from the palace. I would be sorry to him if I sold it at a lower price."
"I won't even consider it if it's less than one million."
Xiao Lin's constipated face just now was like he had eaten three pounds. He twisted it a few times and barely controlled his expression. "If Dr. Shu insists, it seems that we can't reach a consensus for the time being. I'll take my leave first."
"Goodbye."
Shu Jinyue knew what he meant. He wanted to make her anxious. Only by making her anxious could he take back the initiative and continue bargaining.
As for her, she really won't be in a hurry, and it's not worth being in a hurry.
Li Yulan walked home with her. When she heard that Xiao Lin was asking for one million, she opened her mouth in surprise. After a long time, all she could say was "Oh my God" and "You really dare to ask for such a high price". But then she thought of Xiao Lin's identity and suddenly felt that it was not much.
"Hey, you said, he is proficient in Chinese medicine in Japan, but he is not from Long Country, how could he know so much? Did he take a shortcut? Did he steal secret recipes from Long Country decades ago? So many of our time-honored brands were robbed before, did he also profit from it?"
Li Yulan's logic is very simple. He would rather spend money to buy Longguo's formula now. But would he miss it when he could get it without spending money and only needed a rifle and a bayonet?
If it were any other time, Jin Yue would definitely say that she was too arbitrary, but after meeting her several times, she realized that Xiao Lin was really too humble, to the point of being suspicious. He must be using his humbleness to cover up something.
Xu Duan said that what he tried hard to conceal was the greed in his bones.
"You should have asked for more."
Shu Jinyue laughed, "This number scares him now. If you ask for more, there will be no room for negotiation."
She wanted to scare Xiao Lin away, but she didn't want him to really quit. If he quit, how could the show go on?
"By the way, Sister Yulan, look at me."
Li Yulan was stunned and looked at her from top to bottom. "What do you want me to look at?"
"Do you think the words 'stupid and gullible' are written on my face?"
Li Yulan was stunned, and then she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Shu Jinyue was not joking, she was really reflecting, deeply reflecting. Why did everyone try so hard to treat her differently from others, the "humorous" Shen Heping, the "enthusiastic" Sister Qiao, and now the "sincere and humble" Xiao Lin?
It would be fine if you said one or two, but even a foreigner like Kobayashi wanted to bully her. She really suspected that there was something wrong with her.
Jin Yue walked to the gate of the compound in a depressed mood, and heard the bustling noise inside. The two looked at each other and wondered whose house this was? It was so noisy, and what was going on?
It was time to cook, but the old men and women were all gathered in the front yard, chattering about something.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Wanqiu held Mengmeng in her arms, and Teacher Shu held Yaya in her arms. “It won’t be long before there is a happy event in our compound!”
Aunt Zhao rushed to say: "Your sister Chunhua is going to get married soon, and Niuniu will have a new father!"
Shu Jinyue was a little sensitive about the "new father" and felt uncomfortable, but she didn't show it. "Sister Chunhua, are you dating? Who is it?"
"You know that guy, too. It's because of you that they met each other." Aunt Zhao came over and whispered three words - "Sun Dalong."
Shu Jinyue was stunned for a moment before he reacted, Sun Dalong? Is he the eldest son of Sun Yuli, the tetanus patient she cured?
"It was said that Chunhua helped him promote his carpentry work in the workshop and earned him a lot of extra money. As a result, the two became familiar with each other. Recently, Aunt Qian wanted to find another live-in son-in-law for her. After searching for a long time, no one was suitable and there were some jokes. So Chunhua told Aunt Qian that she was dating Sun Dalong."
"Aunt Qian is really unreliable. What kind of people does she find for Chunhua? Either they are old, or their families are too poor to make ends meet, or they are divorced with two sons. She suffered a loss by marrying down last time, and now she doesn't think about finding a better one. It's really..." She deserves to be so unlucky.
Aunt Zhao didn't say it out loud, but no one likes to associate with Aunt Qian. Besides the fact that she lives a secluded life and is taciturn, it is also because she is not very popular. She tends to go to extremes in doing things. She is either too fanciful or too self-deprecating. She always fails to find the right balance.
Of course, we can’t describe this feeling, we just know that we should not associate with her.
"That's what the mother and daughter had a quarrel about." The Qian family had always been quiet in Yard No. 16. Even the crying of little Niuniu was hardly heard. But today, a quarrel suddenly broke out. Regardless of whether it was genuine or fake, everyone came over to try to stop the fight. After trying to stop them, they knew the whole story!
"Chunhua is a good person. It will be nice when she can be the head of the family in the future."
"But now that she has spoken out, do you think the Sun family will agree?"
Shu Jinyue shook his head, "It is very likely that he will not agree."
It was obvious from the last contact that Sun Yuli relied heavily on this eldest son. He was working in a village-run factory and had skills, so he was destined to be the pillar of the family. Who would be willing to send their pillar away as a son-in-law?
What’s more, he was sent to a poor family like the Qian family.
When everyone thought about it, they realized that this was exactly the truth and they all shook their heads, feeling sorry for Chunhua.
If the Sun family does not agree, Chunhua will be in a difficult situation and become a laughing stock in Liuye Hutong.
Shu Jinyue also felt sorry for Qian Chunhua. She was much more reliable than her mother. Jinyue also hoped that she could be happy, but it was really too difficult to marry Sun Dalong into the family.
Not to mention what Sun Dalong thought of her, just to say that although Sun Yuli's family was not well-off, they at least had a spacious house in the countryside, a separate yard, and a private plot of land. As long as they were not lazy, they would not starve to death. But what about the Qian family? By then, a family of four with three generations will be squeezed into a small house of more than ten square meters, without even a bed for the newlyweds to sleep in. They can only pick up rotten vegetable leaves and cabbage stalks to survive all day. For Sun Dalong, it would be better for them to stay at home.
Everyone talked for a while, and seeing that the young people had all returned home from get off work, they quickly got busy. Suddenly, the courtyard was filled with smoke and the aroma of food.
Amidst the busyness, Shu Jinyue went back to her room to read. She had not had time to read properly recently because she was always worried about Xiaolin and the secret recipe. If she did not read now, the new knowledge she had just learned would be forgotten again.
She had a poor foundation and had to start from junior high school, but when she went to the countryside to make a desperate effort, she burned all her junior high school textbooks. Now these textbooks were found for her by Xu Duan. When that guy heard that she was going to the medical school to borrow books, he was afraid that she would use Qin Haiyang's library card again.
In fact, he was overthinking it. Ever since she refused to reply to the letter, she didn't even use a library card. In the past two years, she had borrowed all the books in the library of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Medical College. Even the teachers at the lending desk remembered her and praised her for her hard work and diligence.
The quality of today's workers, peasants and soldiers students is mixed. Many of them come from the grassroots and may not even recognize all the characters, let alone study seriously. Therefore, she, a "good student" who keeps borrowing and returning books, has left a deep impression on people.
When she refused to reply, Qin Haiyang was completely disappointed. He was an upright, kind-hearted and principled gay man. There was no reason for him to keep pestering her even though she had rejected him so many times. In fact, to be honest, Jin Yue feels that he is even better than the male protagonist Xu Siqi in the original book.
Although Xu Siqi is also an upright and kind person, compared with Xu Duan, his eagerness to get rid of the widow and orphan of his savior seems unkind. No wonder Xu Duan apologized to her on his behalf when they met for the second time. It turned out that he had seen through his nephew's little thoughts a long time ago.
Jin Yue was daydreaming and reading for a while. Zhao Wanqiu had prepared the meal and everyone was present. They put the food on the table and started eating.
Mengmeng and Yaya are here these days, and my eldest brother and sister-in-law will come over for dinner in the evening. But I don't know if my eldest brother has been disciplined by his work or by my eldest sister-in-law. He knows to buy some food when he comes back for dinner, such as fruits, vegetables, eggs or meat. He brings whatever he can find.
Moreover, he changed his previous tone of "this is wrong" and listened carefully to whatever others said. Even if he disagreed, he would give a well-reasoned defense. Even Teacher Shu, who loved to scold him the most, was speechless.
Speaking of this family, the biggest changes so far are between him and Shu Wenyun. Both of them have become silent, while Jin Yue and Shu Wenming keep chattering non-stop.
"Second brother, do you think the Sun family in the middle courtyard has become rich recently?"
Shu Wenming narrowed his eyes and picked up an egg for his wife. "I've heard that Sun Laoliu has been very generous recently and has eaten out several times."
In the entire No. 16 courtyard, the most thrifty and stingy people are Uncle Feng, Aunt Qian and Sun Laoliu, in no particular order. From the glorious deeds of the first two, one can imagine how stingy Sun Laoliu, who is ranked equal to them, is. But how can such a person be willing to go to a restaurant?
Shu Wenyan also became curious, "Could this family really have become rich?"
These days the gap between the rich and the poor is very small, and what everyone thinks of as getting rich is at most an extra monthly bonus, or picking up a big unity banknote on the road, because that alone is enough to make everyone envious.
Shu Wenming shook his head. "I don't think so. I saw him under the Jianshe Bridge a few days ago."
"What is he going there for? What heirloom is he selling?" Shu Jinyue was just guessing randomly. He didn't expect Shu Wenming to nod.
"Really?!"
"I heard from Zhang Liangwei that he had just sold a large blue and white porcelain bowl not long ago. He said it was from some dynasty. At first, no one believed him and thought he was talking nonsense. Later, I heard that it was actually bought by an old professor of the history department of Shilan University for this amount of money."
He extended a palm.
"Fifty yuan is not a lot. We can't afford to see him treat us like this," said Liu Huifang and Xu Wenli.
The others acted as if to say, “That’s all your imagination is.” “It’s five hundred!”
"What?!" Liu Huifang sat up from the kang all of a sudden. Yaya in her arms was frightened. She looked at her mother blankly with an expression as if she wanted to cry.
Shu Wenyan quickly handed Mengmeng to Grandpa, and took Yaya and coaxed her softly, "You are already a mother, calm down. This is just the beginning. Five hundred yuan scared you like this."
"Five hundred yuan, not fifty yuan. Do you know what five hundred yuan means?"
Xu Wenli also sighed, "How can he be so lucky? That professor must be stupid, why would he spend so much money to buy a big bowl for eating? A gold bowl shouldn't be that expensive!"
"Zhang Liangwei and the others only heard it, so they can't guarantee its authenticity."
But even so, Shu Jinyue was amazed. The legendary story in the novel about getting rich overnight by relying on heirlooms was really happening before his eyes!
"Where did he get this blue and white bowl? I remember that Sun Laoliu's family has always been poor in the city. Where did they get such a good thing?" Shu Jinyue looked at Teacher Shu, "Dad, do you know about their family's past?"
Shu Linong pondered for a moment, "When Mr. Sun was alive, he was similar to us. Logically, his family didn't have access to any good things."
People who have good things nowadays must have them, but they are at least somewhat related to wealthy families or the favored celebrities around wealthy families. If they are more distant, they may be related to the imperial palace in Beijing. The Sun family has lived in Shucheng City for generations, and Grandpa Sun was just a small worker in a factory before, and he could not even take out a single silver dollar.
"Who knows? He insisted that it was an heirloom, and no one really pursued the matter."
Shu Jinyue thought to himself that maybe these things were not obtained in a legitimate way, but he also had to admire his courage for daring to sell such things at this critical moment. You know, Shu Wenming rarely even went to the ghost market recently, saying that it is better to be cautious in these troubled times.
***
In the next few days, Xiao Lin did not come to see Shu Jinyue again, but Jinyue knew his whereabouts very well. It was said that he had a very good relationship with Deputy Director Su of the Chinese Medicine Factory. The two of them had been in and out of Shilan Hotel several times, treating Shu Jinyue to food and drinks.
It seemed that he was about to succeed in bribing the deputy factory director.
Unfortunately, the deputy factory director didn’t know the formula either, so he was doomed to fail.
Jin Yue laughed whenever he thought of that possibility.
"What are you laughing at?" Xu Duan sat opposite her and picked up a piece of braised pork for her. This was cooked in the canteen of their unit. He ate in the canteen every day and this was the first time he found that the canteen chef's cooking skills were so good. He immediately exchanged two meat tickets with someone, bought two servings of braised pork, and sent them to her unit.
It just so happened that Jin Yue hadn't left today because she had a report to finish.
So, the two of them ate a box of rice with braised pork and stir-fried lettuce in her office.
Since there were no extra lunch boxes to share, the two of them ate the rice one spoonful at a time… Even though they started from the two farthest corners of the lunch box, there was a kind of secret intimacy to it, and the girl's heart was warmed.
"I'm laughing. Xiaolin will come to see me again someday."
Xu Duan shook his head, "He won't agree to buy the formula for one million."
"I know. It's strange that he would agree. I didn't really want to sell him the formula. He is a qualified businessman. He will definitely do the math and make the most favorable choice for him."
What do businessmen want? The lowest cost, the least trouble, the highest profit, and the most reliable efficacy.
He will definitely figure out how to achieve the best of all conditions.
Xu Duan smiled. He knew that she was smart. He didn't need to do anything. He just had to stand by and watch her to make sure she didn't get hurt.
"By the way, you haven't told me what you did on the weekend of the week before last."
Xu Duan was stunned. This happened more than half a month ago. "Why are you asking this?"
"Don't ask questions in return. Answer my question first."
Xu Duan was amused and thought about it seriously. He had a good memory and knew why she asked immediately, but he was also happy to cooperate. "Well, let me think about it. At home?"
"Who did you meet at home?"
“I didn’t see anyone. It seemed like someone came that day, maybe a guest from the neighbor next door, I can’t remember.
Shu Jinyue snatched the last piece of braised pork and put his hands on his hips, "Huh, isn't that guest very pretty?"
She was chewing a piece of braised pork, her cheeks were plump, a little cute, Xu Duan couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her hair across the table, "Not as pretty as you."
Jin Yue blushed, "So you admit that she is beautiful?"
“I didn’t see what he looked like.”
"That's the person they want to introduce to you, how could you not know what she looks like, you liar."
Xu Duan walked over and sat next to her, but after all, he was in the office and people would pass by the door, so he didn't sit too close. He could only turn sideways and face her. "It was only later that I realized that Sister Bao had taken the initiative again. I didn't mean that."
"Hmph, who knows how happy she is."
Xu Duan grabbed her hand under the table and squeezed it gently, "What a hot temper you have, little girl."
His voice was so beautiful that Jin couldn't bear to get angry even more. "Then do you think I'm beautiful?"
"Um."
"What does um mean!"
"Beautiful." He thought for a moment and realized that if he continued to talk like this, there would be no end to it. Anticipating her next question, he quickly added, "Eyes, nose, mouth, everything is beautiful."
Shu Jinyue became more and more satisfied and gently scratched his palm twice.
In the past, she would have been fed up with hearing these repeated nonsense, but when she was really in it, she felt that love was not a sour smell. It had no taste, but a color - pink.
"Sister Bao, I let her go back." He felt guilty about her Bao Wengui, but that was no reason for her to keep pushing him around.
Jin Yue was stunned. "Are you really letting her go? Then her family..."
"I have already gone to their commune to say hello. From now on, the monthly allowance will be paid on time. As long as Sister Bao is not lazy, she will not starve to death."
They had to go to work in the afternoon, so they didn't stay together for too long. Xu Duan left at one o'clock. Jin Yue cleaned the office carefully to get rid of the smell of food, and washed his face with cold water to sober himself up.
Sure enough, not long after work, Xiao Lin came again. This time he was not alone, he brought the deputy factory director with him.
Shu Jinyue had met Deputy Director Su when he went to the factory to sign the contract. In fact, he was a very easy-going person. It was said that he also came from a poor family. He worked as a laborer in a landlord's house when he was a child. After the establishment of Xinlong State, he learned some skills from the street and was arranged to work in a traditional Chinese medicine factory. He has always been very motivated. After more than 20 years of hard work, he became the deputy director and had a good reputation among the workers.
As a result, he was dragged into the water by Kobayashi's sugar-coated bullet.
well!
Shu Jinyue felt a little distressed and angry, and she looked very disappointed with him. She was not pretending, but she really couldn't control her expression well. Especially when she saw him calling him "Mr. Kobayashi" in a servile manner, she could hardly hide the contempt in her eyes.
This scene made Xiao Lin very happy. He thought complacently: The backbone of the Dragon people has been bent for a long time. It's not easy to straighten it up again in just a few years. Humph!
"Doctor Shu, I came here today to talk to you about the prescription again. Do you have time?"
Look, even his tone is much more arrogant than last time. He seems to be sure of having her in his grasp!
Shu Jinyue nodded. Lao Zhu and Liu Jinbu were not there. "Please take a seat, both of you."
"Doctor Shu, we meet again. I think Doctor Xiaolin's suggestion is good. Would you consider it?" Deputy Director Su spoke first at Xiaolin's signal.
Jin Yue snorted coldly, "Should I inject 100,000 yuan into your factory and take my formula in disguise and ask for your equity, or should I buy it directly from me for 30,000 yuan? Director Su, you work so hard for me, I wonder how much benefits Mr. Xiaolin has given you?"
Deputy Director Su looked embarrassed. "Oh, that's impossible. I didn't ask for a penny. Mr. Kobayashi is generous, but I'm the director. I can't... I can't..." He became weaker and weaker as he spoke.
Shu Jinyue sneered, "Oh, so I really didn't give you any benefits. Then you are really kind-hearted to help for free."
Seeing a trace of resentment on Deputy Director Su's old face which had turned purple, Xiao Lin naturally knew that the Dragon man in front of him was a greedy guy. During the few days he took him to Shilan Hotel, he ordered the most expensive wine and the fattiest meat. After eating and drinking, he even hinted that he didn't have money to buy cigarettes, and took two packs of cigarettes from him.
This amount of money is nothing to Xiao Lin, but he just feels that Deputy Director Su doesn't deserve it, and the Long people don't deserve it.
He was thinking about the value of Deputy Director Su, who was also upset, and his expression faded a bit, "Of course I won't take the benefits, but the place for studying in Japan that Mr. Kobayashi mentioned last time, when I go back and tell him about it, my son really wants to go and see it. I wonder if Mr. Kobayashi..."
His son wants to study abroad in their great country of Japan? ! Kobayashi's perfect mask cracked again. He was just saying it casually to lure him, but this greedy guy actually took it seriously?
At the critical moment of the negotiation, it clearly means: If you don’t give me benefits, I won’t negotiate with you properly.
It seemed that it was not enough to just take him out for food and drink, he had to give him some practical benefits. It was definitely impossible for him to go studying abroad. Xiao Lin's eyes rolled, he took out a checkbook on the spot, and signed a check for three thousand yuan for him.
There was no expression on his face, but when he handed the check he didn't hand it directly to the other party, but threw it lightly...
Deputy Director Su picked up the thin check with both hands and stuttered, "This, this, this..."
"How about this, Dr. Shu? Anyone who cooperates with me will get benefits."
"Okay, tell me your conditions." Anyway, neither side pretended to be cultured.
"Since you are unwilling to sell the secret recipe to me and the Chinese medicine factory does not want to get involved in a lawsuit, then I don't want the secret recipe. I will just buy the finished medicine directly from the Chinese medicine factory." Just like Shu Jinyue said, he carefully calculated the account. Although he did not know which medicines were included in the secret recipe, when it came to Chinese medicine and efficacy, the medicinal materials of Japan were definitely not as authentic as those of Longguo. They didn't even have many of them and needed to import them from Longguo.
How can a poor and narrow island country compare to the vast territory and rich resources of the Dragon Kingdom?
Add to that Japan's high labor costs, site rentals, and equipment purchases, and it will take many years to recoup the investment.
He is a businessman and must make the choice that is best for himself.
Shu Jinyue thought, here it comes, this is what she wanted, but - "I need the lowest discount from the factory, and I need to promise that you will only cooperate with me within the scope of Japan, and you cannot sell it to anyone else who may sell this medicine in Japan."
"You mean you want to monopolize the business, and you are the only one who can sell my stomach-raising liquid in Japan?" Shu Jinyue smiled, "Your condition is too harsh, and we can't meet it. We Longguo people open the door to do business, and we sell to whoever pays. You said that we are not allowed to sell to others. Do you know how much loss this will cause us?"
Due to poor sales, her dividends are also small, which directly harms her personal interests.
"So, I can promise to guarantee a purchase volume of at least 10,000 yuan every year."
Deputy Director Su frowned, "Mr. Xiaolin, it's not that I don't speak for you, this ten thousand yuan is indeed not a lot. In our Shilan Province alone, we make two thousand yuan a month. If you don't believe me, look, this is the delivery note I just prepared to bring back to the factory today. Look... You can't be such a big developed country, how can you be worse than our province? Although your country's land area is a bit small, but..."
Shu Jinyue almost laughed out loud. Deputy Director Su was really good at touching people's hearts.
Xiao Lin's face darkened. "Then the minimum is 30,000 yuan."
Deputy Factory Director Su's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to agree, Jin Yue refused again, "We are in the same province, making 2,000 a month, 24,000 a year, and you only make 30,000 a year, there's not much difference..."
"Eighty thousand."
Deputy Director Su smiled and complimented: "Mr. Xiaolin is very wealthy, it's really admirable!"
Not counting the cigarettes and alcohol he brought home, I just gave him 3,000 yuan as a fee for running errands!
But he silently did the math and said, "Eighty thousand is not a small amount. But when we add the costs and tariffs, the packaging over there must be more refined than ours. Taking these costs into account, eighty thousand won't buy much. According to Dr. Shu's instructions, a patient with moderate gastroptosis needs three courses of injections, and one course requires three boxes, so that is..." blah blah.
Xiao Lin was so busy looking for someone to inquire about the secret recipe that he didn't really pay attention to how much was needed for a course of treatment. According to Deputy Director Su's calculations, the payment of 80,000 yuan seemed large, but when converted into the quantity for export, it was not much at all. If it was converted into the amount used by patients, it would not be enough for many people.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Then how much does Deputy Director Yi Su think is needed?"
"At least 200,000 a year, right? It's not that I don't consider you, but let me calculate it for you, this and that..." He was a good talker, having worked his way up from the grassroots level, and was particularly good at accounting. His mouth was faster than other people's brains, and he would say it before others could even think of it.
Xiao Lin and Shu Jinyue could only follow his algorithm, and finally came to the conclusion that if the shipment volume of 200,000 could not be guaranteed, it would not be cost-effective for both parties.
"It's not easy for our factory to purchase raw materials. There are more than a dozen Chinese medicines. In order to keep confidentiality, there are some necessary costs. Mr. Xiaolin, please understand us."
Deputy Director Su's bitter face, which shows that he came from a poor family, is very convincing. As expected, Xiaolin did not refute, but he was not stupid either, and asked what the cost would be.
Deputy Director Su reported a number and Shu Jinyue's heart skipped a beat. This was three times the amount.
"I can't disclose the specifics, but the fluctuation is no more than 5%. In addition to the cost, you still have to feed our workers and keep them employed, right? There has to be some profit."
Xiao Lin nodded. Having said that, there would be no point in suppressing it any further.
"Two hundred thousand is too much, one hundred and fifty thousand."
Shu Jinyue shook his head, "No, at least 190,000."
The two men were at a stalemate, neither of them willing to take a step forward (backward). Deputy Director Su was like a fluttering moth, trying to please the left and negotiate with the right, and finally the price was settled at 180,000.
Shu Jinyue still looked dissatisfied and didn't even want to sign the contract.
The more dissatisfied she was, the happier Xiao Lin was, thinking that he had gotten a good deal. Seeing that she was unwilling to sign the contract, his goatee trembled with laughter, and he immediately told his lackey, Deputy Director Su, that he was going back to China and needed to sign the contract as soon as possible.
Deputy Factory Director Su immediately tried to please the left and coax the right, "Okay, okay, we can sign it now. I'll have someone send the contract over right away. It must be made clear that the contract is signed for three years. It cannot be terminated at will without special reasons. At the same time, there is a small problem..."
Xiao Lin was very pleased to see Shu Jin getting more frustrated. He didn't mind even if there were ten questions, let alone one. "Tell me."
"Because our factory has limited funds, unlike you, Mr. Xiaolin, who is rich, we need Mr. Xiaolin to prepay half of the payment every year. Then we will pay the balance according to the delivery progress. You don't know that our Long Country is poor, especially our Shilan Province, which is so poor that it can't be compared with your country of Japan. My son's biggest wish is to be able to go there... Hehe, I know that a generous person like you will not refuse."
Xiao Lin was too lazy to listen to him babble, "Okay, I'll pay 90,000 yuan first, it will be there in three days, let's sign the contract first."
Shu Jinyue wanted to push it again, but Deputy Director Su quickly pulled her back, almost crying: "Oh my dear, Mr. Xiao Lin is so sincere, please don't hold us back and affect the speed at which we earn foreign exchange for the country!"
He lowered his voice and said, "My son wants to go to Japan, please don't ruin his plans."
Shu Jinyue showed an expression of disappointment.
Xiao Lin watched with a smile, and he found that the more Shu Jin suffered a setback, the more comfortable he felt.
Of course, this contract was not signed casually, because it involved foreign exchange transactions and the two countries had just established diplomatic relations. Shilan Province could only export a handful of cheap labor-intensive products, not to mention such a large order volume. The province attached great importance to it and sent special staff and departments to contact, accompany and guide.
Shu Jinyue needed to show up simply because she had added a clause when signing the contract that year, which required her personal consent if any transaction was involved.
It took Shu Jinyue two days to get everything settled before he rushed back to work.
As soon as she arrived, Kang Yongxin followed her and laughed as soon as he entered the door, "Jin Yue, you played this trick, Xiao Lin thought he got a great deal, 180,000, you really are..."
Exports of 180,000 a year may not be a big deal in later generations, but in the 1970s, when the entire country was not yet open, 180,000 was not a small number, not to mention the inland mountainous provinces. An ordinary Chinese medicine factory created so much foreign exchange in a year.
"Our factory's annual output value may not even be this much."
Shu Jinyue was stunned. "That's not right. Didn't your Deputy Director Su say the other day that the sales volume of Weishengye alone in the province was 2,000 yuan a month?"
Kang Yongxin was stunned at first, then he laughed out loud, "He said that? How is that possible? Look at how much you got as a commission last year. If it's only 2,000 yuan a month, wouldn't you be counting money until your hands cramp?"
"You mean, Deputy Director Su 'lied about military intelligence'?" Shu Jinyue was stunned, and suddenly remembered his attitude that day. Although it seemed that he was bribed by Xiaolin and was always thinking about him, in the end he bargained the price of the medicine that Xiaolin was only going to buy for 10,000 yuan all the way down to 180,000 yuan.
When you help someone bargain, it doesn't make sense to bargain more and more.
His position is obviously on the side of Dragon Country!
"Oh, you haven't heard about it yet, but I heard someone say yesterday that Lao Su has been very generous recently and donated a sum of money to all the welfare homes in the city, totaling at least 3,500 yuan! But it was in the name of the factory, he paid for it himself, and did good deeds without leaving a name. We are talking about him behind his back, maybe he has something wrong with his brain."
Shu Jinyue's heart moved. Xiao Lin gave him three thousand yuan that day like a lapdog, and he also exchanged all the food, drinks, cigarettes and good wine he had spent on those days into cash. Thinking back carefully, the various costs he calculated that day were not right. The cost of raw materials alone was three times more than she knew!
Ridiculously high!
"As you know, there is not much room for maneuver in the cost of raw materials, but Deputy Director Su has put a lot of effort into the packaging. The materials used for the medicine bottles are very good, and even the medicine boxes are more refined than usual. They look very beautiful."
"But no matter how beautiful she is, she can't get what he offers..."
Kang Yongxin laughed, "Of course, it seems you don't know about Deputy Director Su yet."
It turned out that Deputy Director Su did come from a poor family. The family he belonged to had some savings and was considered well-off. However, after the Japanese invaders entered the city, they first robbed the wealthy families, and after that even small families like theirs could not escape. The head of the family just tried to stop them and was stabbed to death with a bayonet.
Watching someone who had done him a favor die in front of him was a huge shock to him when he was young.
Shu Jinyue then realized that he had misunderstood Deputy Director Su. The organization must be good at judging people, to have him rise from a poor, illiterate boy to the current deputy director of a state-owned pharmaceutical factory, his character must be impeccable.
The organization judges people accurately.
Xu Duan is at least better at judging people than she is.
"But it doesn't matter. He is just like me. He doesn't care about reputation. As long as the benefits reach our own people, that's enough."
Shu Jinyue nodded. This was truly a huge benefit. To be honest, her "secret recipe" only had two herbs. The technical content of this secret recipe was simply not worth mentioning in the eyes of insiders. It was so simple that if Kang Yongxin hadn't reminded her at the beginning, she wouldn't have thought of keeping it secret... and such a recipe could now create 180,000 foreign exchange reserves for the country every year, which Shu Jinyue could never have imagined in her dreams!
She believed that as long as Xiao Lin realized the "magical effect" of gastric fluid, he would increase the dosage, and once the number exceeded this number, given the shrewdness of Deputy Director Su, the price would definitely not be the same.
The more Shu Jin thought about it, the bigger gain she would get would be if she could use this as a lever to attract orders worth 40,000 to 50,000 yuan a year. She didn't expect that Xu Duan would find such a powerful character for her.
Yes, in the whole thing, many people contributed to it, either openly or secretly. Except for Kang Yongxin and Hu Rongsheng, who were planned by her from the beginning, the biggest surprise was Deputy Director Su. This flexible negotiation king did not appear out of thin air, but Xu Duan was the one who made the effort behind the scenes.
"Master Kang, don't worry. When the factory transfers the dividends, I will give you 20%. I am sorry for wronging you this time and ruining your reputation."
"Well, what's the big deal? I'm not seeking fame. Deputy Director Su is able to bend and stretch, so who am I?" Kang Yongxin said nonchalantly, but Shu Jinyue disagreed.
"Don't refuse. Aunt Kang still needs to take care of her health. It costs money to hire a nanny. If you don't want one, think about Aunt Kang, right?"
Kang Yongxin didn't say anything then. Kang Yuqiong really needed money.
Shu Jinyue didn't have much money before, and could only repay Kang Yuqiong's help by buying him food and drinks, providing him with free medical treatment and acupuncture therapy. But this time, after the dividends, the money in her hands was not a small sum.
With six percentage points of the selling price and an output of 180,000, she can get a dividend of 10,800 yuan. Even if she only gets half of it in the early stage, it is still 5,400 yuan!
This was already a huge sum of money that she could not imagine. She suddenly did not feel any pain when she gave Kang Yongxin another thousand yuan, after all, he really helped her.
As for Deputy Director Su, he had donated all the money he had taken from the Kobayashi devils, so he would definitely not take her money.
This means that I made more than 4,000 yuan directly from this transaction! Shu Jin felt like she would wake up laughing in her sleep. She had no idea how to spend so much money and it always felt too hot to handle.
"Hey, what's wrong with you lately? You even walk with a shaky face?" Zhao Wanqiu discovered that Shu Jinyue had been smiling recently. She heard that he had done some business with the Japanese, but she didn't understand.
"Hey, mom, just wait and enjoy the good life with me."
"Come on, I don't dare to count on you. Just let me worry less. I can still enjoy myself. If you want to enjoy myself, let me live in a big courtyard house." She said it in anger because she felt that her daughter could not do it, so she might as well say it out loud to vent her anger.
"Like Sun Laoliu from the Central Courtyard, I heard that he has really made a name for himself this time. A few days ago, he went to Huaishu Hutong across the street and bought a small courtyard house. He said that he would bring his grandmother over to live happily there in a few days, and he would sell the bungalow here."
The Sun family also bought out the property rights back then. Because the old man of the Sun family was far-sighted, he even borrowed money from relatives and friends and directly bought three rooms in the central courtyard. They lived very comfortably.
"Are all the three houses in the middle courtyard of their family going to be sold?"
"Yes, I heard that a single room costs 300 yuan, but if you buy it together, it only costs 800 yuan. It is much more expensive than the main house you bought last year, but there is no other way. Last year, the Wang family was in a hurry to leave, and you took advantage of it. This year, Sun Laoliu is not in a hurry, so he will sell it slowly."
If it were any other time, Shu Jinyue would stick out his tongue whenever he heard the number “eight hundred yuan”. It was too scary!
But now, as long as the pharmaceutical factory dividends arrive, she will immediately become a wealthy woman. This amount of money is nothing at all, and when she doesn't know how to spend the money, isn't this a ready-made way to spend it?
Now that there are many people in the family, she can buy the house and let everyone live in it first. At least her name is on the certificate. In a few years, these houses will be upgraded, especially after the housing reform, these bungalows with independent property rights will also be in great demand.
Liuye Hutong has an excellent geographical location. When it is converted into a building in the future, any small bungalow can be exchanged for a building with double the area. It can be sold or exchanged for a building in the future, both are good investments.
Shu Jinyue's heart moved, and he whispered a few words to his mother, who was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth, "Shu Jinyue, do you really have so much money?"
"Hush, I should be able to get it, but I haven't got the money yet." Then Balabala told Xiaolin's story again, "This little money will depreciate if I keep it in my hands. It's better to exchange it for physical objects to be safer."
The protagonists of stories from other periods make a lot of investments, such as buying houses, land, antiques, stamps, and ancient paintings. She doesn't have those skills, and she is also afraid of being cheated by investing carelessly, so she simply switches to a house, which is safer.
After all, she can tell whether a house is good or bad, and no house can be too bad.
Sure enough, the Chinese medicine factory was very fast.
A week later, the factory asked Kang Yongxin to bring people to give money to Shu Jinyue. After much persuasion, he was finally willing to accept only 800 yuan. This means that Shu Jinyue suddenly has 4,600 more yuan in her hands. Combined with her previous savings, she is now a wealthy woman with a savings of 5,000 yuan!
Hey, he’s half a millionaire, even more powerful than Xu Duan!
Shu Jinyue was really feeling high as he walked this time. Five thousand yuan, do you know how great that is? If she had earned this money by working overtime and staying up late, she would not have felt such a sense of happiness from cheating someone - is there anything more satisfying than using a "secret recipe" that requires no technical skills to cheat the devil out of so much money?
If there is, it is that he will continue to increase the order volume next year and the year after. The more he buys, the more Shu Jin will get!
