I also find this feasible. I can even tell other companies to take as many orders as possible as they have priority over Huaxia. Theres no reason not to make money when doing business.

Okay, Ill do as you say. Ive already prepared a new position. You can take it when you come back, Luo Yi said.

Thank you for your trust, President.

Its already dark in Huaxia. Good night. Ill be waiting for your good news.

Good night.

After hanging up, Zhao Wen stood up. Theres nothing to worry about now. Go book two flights back to the United States tomorrow.

Got it, Director Zhao, Meng Haiqing said.

Oh right, Director Zhao, theres one more thing. I forgot to report to you just now. The evaluation experts in the negotiations called me a lot during the day to ask about the final price and whether their benefits will decrease.

Tell them that the money theyll receive will not decrease, Zhao Wen said.

Well still need them in the future. We cant be too stingy.

I got it.

Zhao Wen nodded. You should go back and rest too. Dont forget to book the plane tickets.

Okay.

After saying goodbye, Meng Haiqing left.

Zhao Wen took off her bathrobe and prepared to rest.

However, at this moment, her phone rang again.

Director Zhao, are you resting?

The person who called wasnt anyone else but Fan Qinan.

Im preparing to rest. Are you looking for me?

Its nothing major, Fan Qinan said with a smile.

I booked a boat and wanted to invite President Zhao to visit Jiangjing to have supper together. I wonder if you will do me the honor.

Im really sorry. I might have to let you down. There will be a second negotiation tomorrow, and Im really exhausted.

President Zhao is too polite, Fan Qinan said.

Since you cant come out, Ill ask you some questions over the phone.

Go ahead.

We have some information that the six major international pharmaceutical companies have raised the prices of 25 kinds of imported drugs. Is that true?

Director Fan, you may have asked the wrong person about this, Zhao Wen said.

The Fan family has been a big family in Zhonghai for decades. You cant ask me, a senior executive of a Meiguon company, about this kind of news, right?

I just feel that theres something fishy going on surrounding this. Its indeed a little coincidental.

I really dont know about this. Im really sorry.

Since Director Zhao is unable to answer this question, then Ill ask something else, Fan Qinan asked.

Tomorrow is the day of the second negotiation. Will Pfizer make any changes to the price of the medicine?

I already told you during the first negotiation that 289 is our bottom line. Forget 9.99, we wont lower our price by even one dollar.

Im relieved to hear that. See you tomorrow.

..

The next morning, Lin Yi drove to the Jinyue district and went to Zhonghai Huaxian Medical Hospital with Peng Xingguo.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Zhao Dongmei finally arrived. She handed an unwrapped medicine bottle and a thick brown paper bag to Lin Yi.

Yi, the goods are here. Ive told you countless times not to make things difficult for me.

Dont worry, Teacher Zhao. I know what Im doing.

Lin Yi opened the brown paper bag and looked at the report. It was exactly what he had expected.

Only then did he truly feel at ease.

But we had an internal meeting to study it. This is a very good proprietary Huaxian medicine. We want to do further approval and clinical trials, and we want to hear your opinion on this.

No problem. Ill write you an authorization later. You can handle the follow-up procedures yourself, Teacher Zhao. You dont have to ask for my opinion.

Really? Zhao Dongmei was excited. But dont worry, if you really pa.s.s the clinical trial, we wont take any credit away from you.

Youre too kind, Teacher Zhao. As long as I have this report, I dont care about anything else.

Lin Yi looked at his watch as he spoke. Teacher Zhao, I have something else to attend to, so I cant talk to you anymore. If you have any other questions, lets meet again in the future.

Okay, okay, okay. Its settled then.

Zhao Dongmei knew that Lin Yi had something urgent to attend to, so she didnt talk to him much.

Little Yi, you should go if you have something urgent to attend to. Dont worry about me, Peng Xingguo said. Ill just take a taxi back.

How can that be? Teacher Peng has helped me so much, so how can I let you go back by yourself?

Lin Yi insisted on sending Peng Xingguo back before driving to the bidding center.

Liang Ruoxu was already waiting there.

Are you all ready?

Liang Ruoxu didnt know what Lin Yi was doing, but she knew that he hadnt stayed idle that night.

Lets go, Ill bring you to witness a miracle!

That is fine, but why are you hugging my waist?

Theres a flight of stairs ahead, Im afraid youll fall.

No need, my legs are fine.

Then hug me. My legs arent fine.

What a hooligan. Liang Ruoxu ridiculed and then said,

When I go in later, what should I do? Do I need to match your words or put on an act?

Do you think this is a film?

When Liang Ruoxu said this, he was filled with an inexplicable sense of humor.

Just act normally, Ill do the rest.

Are you sure you dont need me to do anything? Liang Ruoxu asked. Are you sure there wont be any problems?

Dont worry, my skills are good. I can handle any kind of show. I guarantee that youll be satisfied and excited, and youll definitely come back again next time.

Okay then.

Liang Ruoxu was very curious. What could Lin Yi do to reverse the situation?

At that moment, everyone was present in the meeting room except for Liang Ruoxu and Lin Yi.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was very relaxed. The group of arbitrators were chatting and laughing, and there wasnt any tension at all.

Sometimes, they would even chat with Zhao Wen and Meng Haiqing about the local customs in Meiguo, just like they were on the same side.

Seeing the relaxed atmosphere in the room, Fan Donghuismiled and whispered into his sons ear.

I guess theres no escape. The price increase by the six major pharmaceutical companies must have been done by Pfizer.

Zhao Wen dared to keep the price so high just because she had this card, Fan Qinan said. These people are really ruthless. They really dont take Huaxia seriously.

Its normal for capitalists to chase after fame and fortune, Fan Donghui said. Didnt we get excited because of this 289-a-box medicine? Money is something that must be grasped in ones own hands. Thats what money is.

Anyway, this doesnt affect us. As long as theres money to be made, well be alright.

Thats the way to do business. Good people cant do business.

Still, Im very curious, how will a woman like Liang Ruoxu deal with this matter?

How? Could she make the people of Huaxia stop taking their medicine? There wont be any change unless they dont want to live anymore.

Tsk tsk tsk, Pfizer really has some skills to be able to make such a strong woman lower her head in front of money, Fan Qinan sighed.

Thats inevitable. Otherwise, it wouldnt be possible to become the number one pharmaceutical company in the world.

At that moment, the crowd heard the footsteps outside the door and stopped talking.

Liang Ruoxu was here!

Everyone stood up at the sight of Liang Ruoxu and Lin Yi, showing them the highest form of respect.

Even when they saw Lin Yi still standing by Liang Ruoxus side, they didnt change their expressions and greeted him with smiles.

Its been three days. I think everyone has already made up their minds about the price. Lets start now. Liang Ruoxu looked at Zhao Wen.

Just state the starting price.

Mayor Liang, after our repeated research, theres really no room for further price reduction. 60 milligrams of ibuprofen for 289 a box.

Theres no change in the price?

Yes.

Everyone in the meeting room was silent. They looked calm on the surface, but in their hearts, they were watching a good show.

Pfizer had the technology and capital, so how could they negotiate with them?

It would be good if they didnt raise the price.

How could they try to lower the price?

Are you guys idiots?

Huh?

The sudden words stunned everyone in the meeting room.

What was this kid doing? Mayor Liang hadnt said anything yet, so why was he speaking out?!

Moreover, he was spouting nonsense!

Please speak with respect! Zhao Wen said with a cold face, This is the city bidding center, not a place for you to behave atrociously!

Lin Yi had said some crazy things during the first negotiation, but Zhao Wen had endured it.

He was doing the same this time, but Zhao Wen couldnt take it anymore!

Even if Liang Ruoxu was sitting next to her, she couldnt control her emotions.

This was because this time, she held the initiative!

Im really sorry, I was too rude just now.

Seeing that Lin Yi had admitted defeat, Zhao Wen didnt say anything else.

However, she despised Lin Yi even more in her heart. A Tiger doesnt show its power, but instead treats me like a sick cat?

I hope youll be more careful next time!

Okay, okay, okay, Ill definitely be more careful next time. Lin Yi said with a smile.

But, Id like to say a few words regarding the price of the medicine.

Speak, were listening. Zhao Wen said expressionlessly.

Are you guys idiots? I told you before, theres no room for negotiation at 289. Now that weve started the second negotiation, why the f*ck are you still quoting this price? Lin Yi said.

Whats going on? Why are you running your mouth like that? Did tadpoles infest your brain? Im sorry, I cursed again. Ill be more careful next time.

Everyone was dumbfounded again. With your personality, youll definitely repeat your crime again!

Liang Ruoxu nudged Lin Yi lightly. Even if he was angry, he couldnt scold her like that.

Mayor Liang, we came with sincerity. We hope that you can ask this gentleman to negotiate with us normally and not act like a lunatic.

Firstly, I dont see your sincerity. Secondly, I will restrain him and the negotiations will proceed normally.

Everyones faces darkened. You dont have any intention of restraining him!

Mayor Liang, we have already quoted the lowest price. We cant go any lower.

After that, Zhao Wen added, Theres no room to reduce anymore.

Lin Yi tilted his head and looked at Liang Ruoxu. Lets go. Theres no need to continue the discussion.

Liang Ruoxu frowned. She didnt know what Lin Yi was going to do.

However, now, she could only listen to him.

He was the leader of this negotiation.

Mayor Liang, are we not going to talk anymore? w.a.n.g Yanxing stood up and asked.

If they dont lower the price, theres no point in continuing the discussion.

Zhao Wens expression didnt look too good. Such an outcome was beyond her expectations.

The prices set by the six major pharmaceutical factories had already risen across the board. Did she not know what was going on?

They were leaving just like that? Did the boss of Huaxia not take his medicine this morning?

Seeing that Liang Ruoxu was really leaving, Zhao Wen couldnt help but stand up and say,

Mayor Liang, the price of ibuprofen will remain at 289 for the time being. But right now, the raw materials for medicines around the world are rising. I dont know what the price will be in the future. If the Huaxia market needs ibuprofen in the future, you can come and negotiate with us then.

Zhao Wens words were a threat. No one here was an idiot, and anyone could understand its meaning.

Lin Yi p.r.i.c.ked his ears and said.

Actually, we came here to give you a chance, but you didnt cherish it, so we can only say goodbye to you idiots.

What do you mean by a chance? Isnt this second negotiation a chance in and of itself?

Not really.

Lin Yi threw the bottle and the doc.u.ments in his hand over.

This is a newly developed proprietary Huaxian medicine, and its effects are the same as ibuprofen. Lin Yi said.

Youre from Huaxia, so you be aware of the situation surrounding Huaxian medicine. The side effects from taking them are even weaker. The doc.u.ments in the paper bag are certificates issued by professional organizations. As for the rest, I wont say anything else. You can read them yourself.
