Because of money.

I didnt expect you to be such a materialistic woman. Arent you even the slightest bit tempted when looking at me?

What I mean is that you dont lack money, so you will have more integrity and are more suited for this job.

Im very poor. When I go out, I can only drive my Lykan and Phantom. The air conditioner of my car is broken, and I cant even fix it. The women who sit in my car all say that theyre hot. How can my life be considered easy?

Cut the cr*p. Wheres do you live? Ill pick you up tomorrow.

Jiuzhou Pavilion.

Which unit?

All nine units are mine.

Beep beep beep

Lin Yi was at a loss when he heard the dial tone on the phone. Did I say something wrong?

Even if all nine units in Jiuzhou Pavillion are mine, Im still poor.

After hanging up, Lin Yi lay down to rest.

However, this time, Lin Yi couldnt sleep.

Hed never done anything like this before, not even when he had billions in his hands.

It was as if he had the power of life and death in his hands.

Whether civilians would be able to take the medicine, and whether they would be able to buy it at the lowest possible price, all seemed to depend somewhat on him.

He got up and walked to the window, looking at the rolling waves in the distance.

Lin Yi muttered to himself, Power, thats an interesting thing.

Zhonghai, Jiangnan Spring Hotel, 1802 presidential suite.

A man and a woman sat in the suite. The womans calves were slender, and she had a good-looking oval face. Her hair was wet, and she was wearing a bathrobe. It was obvious that she had just come out of the shower.

A man in a suit stood beside her.

The womans name was Zhao Wen. She was the director of the global marketing department of Pfizer Pharmaceuticals.

The mans name was Meng Haiqing, and he was Zhao Wens subordinate.

Meng Haiqings position in the global marketing department was not very high. However, because they were discussing a deal with Huaxia, Zhao Wen ignored the other higher-ranked colleagues and brought Meng Haiqing over.

Have you settled everything?

Ive already discussed it with thirteen experts. The final price will be set at 289 yuan per box, Meng Haiqing said.

These people are very difficult to deal with. They are simply asking for too much. The public relations fee this time is close to 100 million yuan. Mr. Hayes is already very dissatisfied. Fortunately, the president is supporting us.

Tell that baldy that I can earn back 10 times the amount of money spent. Tell him not to take it to heart.

Got it, Director Zhao.

Youve done well with these matters. Its getting late. Go back and rest. Prepare well. Tomorrow is the day of the official negotiations.

Meng Haiqing nodded. Director Zhao, do you need me to inform the Fan family?

After a few seconds of silence, she said, Theres no need. Ill call them personally.

Alright, then Ill be leaving first.

Okay.

At Yangshan Courtyard in Zhonghai City.

Yangshan Courtyard was not a villa. It was more similar to a courtyard in Yanjing City.

However, it did not appear as dated as a typical courtyard. It gave off a modern vibe. The design that featured a chinese-western combination gave it a unique sense of beauty. As expected of the wordYanjing.

At two in the morning, a red Ferrari stopped at the entrance of Yangshan Courtyard.

Fan Qinan got out of the car and walked in in a hurry.

In the hall, a man wearing blue pajamas and gla.s.ses was pacing back and forth in the living room.

The mans name was Fan Donghui. He was the head of Dongheng Pharmaceutical, the largest pharmaceutical company in Huaxia.

Dad, why did you call me back in such a hurry? I still have things to do over there.

You only know how to fool around every day. Have you forgotten the task I gave you?

I know. Didnt you ask me to partic.i.p.ate in the negotiation tomorrow? Fan Qinan said.

That is serious business.

We are agents. We dont directly partic.i.p.ate in the negotiation. We just go and observe. Its not that important. Then why are you so uptight?

You rascal, this matter concerns our familys future interests, and you dont even care about this? Fan Donghui said with disappointment.

Pfizer just called me. The price of the medicine has been set. 289 per box. Well take 8% of the agent fee for each box.

Ah?!

Fan Qinan was stunned. Really? Ibuprofen is a regular medicine. A box of 60 milligrams will only last someone a week. They will need 4 boxes a month. Who can afford this?

They have their own costs to cover. Its none of our business.

I dont mind. The higher it sells for, the more we earn. But what about the evaluation experts? Is there any news from Pfizer?

They already sent a 100 million for the public relations fee. Its all settled.

Pfizer is really awesome. They sent so much money.

Their new director of global marketing is very impressive. Shes very tough, Fan Donghui said.

My original agency fee was 11% , but in the end, it was cut to 8% . She was very difficult to deal with.

Pfizer is the worlds largest pharmaceutical company. Becoming their director of global marketing would not be possible without some skill, Fan Qinan said.

But cutting you down 3% in one go is really impressive.

Thats why you should get to know that woman when you go to the audit tomorrow. You might be able to learn a lot from her.

Got it.

The next morning, Lin Yi received a call from Liang Ruoxu before he could even open his eyes.

Your wake-up call service is really thoughtful.

Its getting late. Hurry up and wash up, dont delay our work.

It was 8:10 in the morning, and Liang Ruoxus car had arrived at the entrance of Villa Number One right on time. She picked up Lin Yi and immediately drove off.

Its nice of you to prepare breakfast. Lin Yi said.

Well, Im getting free labor, Liang Ruoxu said. You wont get this food for free though. You have to perform well later and give me some ideas.

My performance will depend on you.

Depend on me?

The less you wear, the better Ill perform.

As long as you can negotiate a satisfactory price, I dont mind.

Huh?

It was Lin Yis turn to be stunned.

He was just joking, yet she actually took it seriously?

Whats your price?

60 milligrams, 138 a box.

Then Ill get you price.

Okay. Liang Ruoxu nodded. As long as you can get the price to this level, and as long as its nothing too crazy, Ill wear whatever you want to see.

F*ck, youre really crazy. I was just casually saying that.

This is related to livelihood of the people. We cant be careless.

Ill try my best.

They drove all the way to the city tender center. Although it wasnt a public tender, official negotiations were usually held here.

The staff greeted Liang Ruoxu as soon as they saw her, and Liang Ruoxu responded to them one by one.

They took the elevator to the conference room on the fourth floor.

The conference room was filled with people. Lin Yi scanned the room and saw an old acquaintance in Fan Qinan, whod hed raced with the day before.

He glanced at the table in front of Fan Qinan and saw that the words Dongheng Pharmaceutical were written on it.

Lin Yi understood what was going on. He must be one of the negotiators.

Fan Qinan was surprised to see Lin Yi.

He didnt think that Lin Yi would show up here.

However, Fan Qinan didnt show too much emotion at this moment.

They could settle their grudges in private. He couldnt let this affect his money.

Soon, Lin Yi locked onto the main target of this negotiation.

Pfizer Pharmaceutical!

He locked onto their negotiator as well. Unless he was wrong, it should be the woman in red.

Lin Yi felt a lot more relaxed after figuring out the ident.i.ty of the people present.

The next step was to see how the negotiations would go.

Mayor Liang, youre here.

Everyone stood up to greet Liang Ruoxu when they saw her come in, showing her respect.

Youre too kind. I see that everyones here. Lets get started.

Liang Ruoxu looked at the woman in the middle and said.

Mr. w.a.n.g, youll be our representative for this negotiation. Ill leave the rest to you.

Okay.

Lin Yi glanced at the man Liang Ruoxu had referred to as Mr. w.a.n.g. His name was written on the table, w.a.n.g Yanxing.

After a few simple instructions, the two took their seats. The negotiation was about to begin.

Both of them were just representatives for this negotiation. They only needed to give their opinions at crucial moments. The rest would be handed over to w.a.n.g Yanxing.

Before the negotiation started, w.a.n.g Yanxing took a deep look at Lin Yi. He was curious about why Liang Ruoxu would bring a stranger here.

Could it be that there was an unspeakable relations.h.i.+p between the two of them?

Soon, w.a.n.g Yanxing retracted his gaze and adjusted the materials on the table.

Director Zhao, if you are ready, the negotiation will start now. I hope you can give us a satisfactory price.

Zhao Wen nodded with a smile, especially when she saw Liang Ruoxu. She even bowed slightly to show her respect.

Honorable Mayor Liang, judges, our company has been doing a lot of research on the pricing of drugs these days. Due to the particularity of the Huaxia Market and the quality of our drugs, we have set the price at 459 yuan per box.
