Chapter 467 Hitting a wall everywhere
"This health supplement is quite effective. Its main functions are to cleanse the intestines, lose weight, and improve skin health. If it's convenient, you can take a look at the relevant information."
Kong Wange then instructed Xiaoxue to place the prepared documents on her desk.
Julia put down her phone, glanced at the folder, and without even opening it, said directly, "I've never heard of this before. Your product hasn't been on the market for very long, has it?"
Kong Wange understood her implication and explained, "Although it hasn't been on the market for long, this prescription is an old one. I'm a doctor, and I can guarantee that the medicine is absolutely effective. You can also check out the recent customer feedback on our pharmacy's website; the reviews are very positive."
"If you really have any concerns, I can send you two samples to try first. We can discuss cooperation after you've tried them."
Julia clicked her tongue, her tone mocking: "You guarantee it? What guarantees can you make at such a young age? This stuff goes into your mouth; just because it's fine now doesn't mean it won't be a problem later. You're giving it to me? I wouldn't dare eat it; what if it makes me sick?"
Kong Wange said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Miss Julia, even if you don't believe me, you should at least trust the Wen family's reputation, right?"
"Of course I trust the Wen family. Here's what we'll do: leave the documents here for now, go back and wait for my notification. I'll contact you again after I've reviewed them."
Kong Wange wasn't a recent graduate; how could she not hear the evasive tone in the other person's words?
Her smile faded slightly as she leaned back in her chair: "Ms. Julia, if you really have no interest in cooperating with us, you can just say so. I don't mind. Dragging this out is a waste of time for both of us."
Julia twirled the pen in her hand and suddenly laughed, "What are you talking about... The main thing is that new products are risky, you have to give me time to think about it."
“Miss Julia, time is money. Let’s make things quick. Just tell me what you want and what conditions you have.”
“Okay, then I’ll get straight to the point.” Julia said bluntly, “For the products sold, I’ll take 80% of the sales revenue and you’ll take 20%, plus a two million slot fee. If you agree, we can sign the contract now.”
Kong Wange scoffed, "Miss Julia, are you serious about this condition?"
Julia said arrogantly, "Of course, Miss Kong, please get this straight. You're the one who's come to me for cooperation. Let me tell you the truth, there are more than a dozen companies contacting me every day with similar products. With so many products waiting for me to choose from, it's already a big favor that I've taken the time to meet with you. If you don't think it's worth it, then you can leave."
Kong Wange looked at her for a while, her gaze playful.
“Miss Julia, your attitude is very firm, but a 20/80 split is definitely not possible. At most, it can be 40/60, no higher. If you are truly sincere about cooperating, please contact me within three days.”
She stood up and placed two bottles of Changqing pills on the table: "Our medicine is really good. I'll save two bottles for you to try. Xiaoxue, let's go."
After saying that, she waved goodbye, turned around, and strode away in her high heels.
After leaving the building, Xiaoxue said with some worry, "Sister Wange, do we really have to split the profits 40/60 with her? Our products aren't bad. Even if she's a big streamer, she can't bully people like this, can she?"
Kong Wange curled her lips and said confidently, "Don't worry, she won't cooperate with us."
"Huh?" Xiaoxue was taken aback.
Kong Wange put her arm around Xiaoxue and said, "Haven't you noticed yet? From the moment she walked in, her focus wasn't on us. She deliberately made such outrageous demands just to make us back down. I bet someone contacted her before we did."
"Actually, the series of setbacks we've encountered these past few days have made me vaguely feel that someone is watching us, and I roughly know who that person is. The reason I said 40/60 split was to try and inflate pork prices, since we're not the ones who will suffer losses."
Xiaoxue seemed to understand but not quite, and asked, "What if the person who bought the pig wasn't fooled, but the pig then tries to blame us?"
Kong Wange shrugged: "It doesn't matter. If the pig buyers are scared away by my bidding, I'd be happy to do so. At worst, we'll just earn a little less. Julia has nearly 80 million fans across the internet. If we can really cooperate with her, it won't do us any harm."
"Right now, what I want is product sales and reputation. As long as the first wave of sales goes up and the Intestinal Light Pills become a bestseller, will we still have trouble finding livestreamers to promote the product?"
"By then, I'm afraid all the streamers will be vying to work with us, and we'll naturally have the power to set prices. Of course, we can't do a losing business. The 40/60 split I mentioned today is the limit I can accept."
Xiaoxue looked like she had learned something and gave Kong Wange a thumbs up.
...
Inside the Mingliu Building.
Julia calmed herself down and then found a number to dial.
A moment later, Wen Luoyun's voice came from the other end: "How is it? Has the person left?"
“The person is gone, Miss Wen,” Julia said softly, turning to sit sideways and staring at the two bottles of intestinal tonics on the table. “However, this Miss Kong is very keen to cooperate with me; the terms she offered are truly tempting…”
Wen Luoyun paused, then asked, "What conditions did she offer?"
Julia truthfully stated, "The sales revenue is split 40/60, I get 60% and she gets 40%, plus a two million slot fee."
"She's actually willing to do that?!"
“Who knows?” Julia seemed to hear the sound of teeth clenching on the other end of the line. She smiled and said, “Maybe they really have no other choice. Miss Wen, no matter how good our relationship is, I still need to eat. It’s hard not to be tempted by this offer.”
Wen Luoyun on the other side pondered for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "I can accept the same conditions she offered you. In addition, I will add another five million to the slot fee, on the condition that Kong Wange absolutely cannot find any more top streamers under your management to cooperate with."
Julia smiled broadly: "Ms. Wen is so straightforward. Don't worry, our company is the largest MCN company in the entire Kyoto. I am both the streamer and the boss. If I don't give the word, no top streamer in the company will dare to take her job."
Wen Luoyun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Then, still somewhat uneasy, she asked, "Julia, are you sure you can make my beauty serum a bestseller?"
"Of course, I've tried your product, and it really works well. If a product like this doesn't become a bestseller in my live stream, then all these years of hard work have been for nothing, right?"
Wen Luoyun felt a little relieved. If it really became a hit, her current investment would be worthwhile, and she would earn it back sooner or later.
She smiled and said, "That's good. It'll be a pleasure working with you."
...
After Kong Wange took Xiaoxue back to the TCM clinic, everyone held an emergency meeting.
During the meeting, Xiaoxue tentatively asked, "Sister Wange, since the top streamers aren't going to cooperate with us, why don't we consider smaller streamers? As the saying goes, every little bit counts."
