Chapter 236 Sky-high Price The people from Yiyantang in Yuezhou are very sincere in making a deal with Chen Jing and the others. Today¡¯s people don¡¯t have the concept of ¡°brand¡±. It's not that Zongdetang's medicine is particularly better, it's just that Zongdetang has accumulated a reputation over the years and everyone knows it. "If you go to the store to buy medicine and Mr. Zuotang prescribes other patent medicines, the people may not bother to ask. In addition, Chen Jing's patent medicine is more effective and much more affordable than Zongdetang, so it will be known to the people sooner or later. Yi Yantang is not afraid of not being able to sell. But for the first time we collaborated, no one knew the other person¡¯s character, so we were more careful. They talked for three days. Chen Jing has many patent medicines. There are some patent medicines that Yi Yantang has never heard of and no one has ever used them. However, Chen Jing's reputation is enough to guarantee the effectiveness of this medicine. ¡°Moreover, the patent medicine will be branded with Yuhetang¡¯s name. Even if something goes wrong, Chen Jing will bear the consequences. They spent two days talking about this alone before they reached an agreement. Chen Jing carefully told everyone in the Wen family the usage and effects of various patent medicines, and even wrote them down. The rest, how to purchase the medicine, how to ensure that Chen Jing¡¯s medicine is always of consistent quality, how to pay, etc., all need to be negotiated with each other. "We must first sign a contract for the supply of patent medicines within two years." When it was about to be finalized, Chen Jing finally said what was most important to him, "Yi Yantang wants to pay me in advance." The deposit of 10,000 taels, this money will be returned to Yi Yantang in full during our last business in two years, or it can be used as the cost of the medicine." It was like thunder on the ground, and everyone in the room was stunned. Mr. Ni and Zhu He were also present. Hearing this, the two looked at their boss in shock. They were no less surprised than the people in Yiyantang. "Boss, are you too fanciful? How can we do business here?" Zhu He cursed in his heart. He felt that Chen Jing's request was too much. Never seen anything like this. Ten thousand taels! How much money is that? Opening a medicine shop would cost only ten thousand taels if there were no valuable ginseng, gastrodia elata and other rare medicines. These ten thousand taels may also be the working capital of the entire Yiyantang. Who will spend so much money first? This is impossible. Everyone in the Wen family was also stunned for a long time. Especially Mr. Wen. Thinking that he didn't hear clearly, he asked Chen Jing: "What?" "First give me a deposit of 10,000 taels." Chen Jing said, "Later, I can safely supply the patent medicine to you. This is the rule of our Yuhetang." Chen Jing also has his own considerations. In this era, there are not many laws to ensure business acumen and dealings. Signing a contract has no legal effect. It is completely restricted by morality. It's impossible. The only thing they need is a deposit of 10,000 taels, which counts as the opportunity cost of their breach of contract. If they breach the contract and improve other patent medicines within two years, the money will belong to Chen Jing. Otherwise, Chen Jing wouldn't have had to talk to them for so long. What he wants to do is a long-term supply business, not retail. In retail sales, it will never be better than Zongdetang in Jiangnan or even across the country. "This" Mr. Wen couldn't think of any words to use to describe Chen Jing. He was at a loss for words. I have probably never seen such a person. "How can this be done?" Mr. Wen Er was displeased. "Dr. Chen, you are not sincere in doing business. Why bother us these days and ask us to make a trip?" "Of course you have sincerity to make such a request." Chen Jing said, "I have said it before. If we talk Naturally, the business needs to be supplied within two years. What can I do if you regret it and buy other patent medicines? "" Mr. Chen's family doesn't trust us?" Mr. Wen Er became even more angry. "Do you trust me?" Chen Jing asked back. There was another silence from the Wen family. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? That¡¯s indeed the case. The Wen family doesn't trust Chen Jing very much, and Chen Jing doesn't trust them either. Because of distrust, Chen Jing didn't want to sell a batch of medicine and count it as a batch. In this regard, Chen Jing refused to give in. He insisted on supply within two years. He is too ambitious in doing business. "Old boss Wen, you two officials, why don't you take a break first? It's noon and the weather is hot. Let's have lunch first and take a nap. We can talk when it gets cooler in the evening?" Zhu He stood up immediately. , said to everyone in the Wen family. In this way, the temporary tension is relieved. " Moreover, Zhu He and Mr. Ni also want to persuade Chen Jing. "That's fine." Old boss Wen said.? They came here to do business with sincerity, and Chen Jing¡¯s medicine is really good and will be of great benefit to Yi Yantang. Old boss Wen knows this very well. The effectiveness of patent medicines will make people in Xiao County think that it is Yiyantang's ability. From then on, Yi Yan Tang¡¯s business was good. They really want to make it happen. However, they really did not expect that Chen Jing would make such an excessive and rude request. The Wen family and his son also have to discuss what to do next. "Old boss Wen, let's take our leave now." Chen Jing stood up and addressed them. He took Zhu He and Mr. Ni downstairs. Before leaving the door of the inn, Mr. Ni couldn't wait to say to Chen Jing: "My boss, what do you think? You made such a request, do you not want to do this deal?" Mr. Ni thought that Chen Jing suddenly regretted it and did not want to do it. This business deal was deliberately made difficult for Yi Yantang. Otherwise, Chen Jing's brain would suddenly be flooded with water. I have never seen anyone doing business like this! This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world. "I want to do it." Chen Jing replied to Mr. Ni, "It is because I want to do this business that I made such a request. Mr. Ni, our Yuhetang medicine is the only one in the world. This is our strength. If If we don¡¯t make good use of it now, we will suffer huge losses when others figure out the secret recipe for our medicine or copy it. Then it will be difficult for us to make money.¡± Mr. Ni was also slightly stunned. The secret recipe of the patent medicine is difficult to know. However, there are many capable people and strangers in the world. Not every medicine¡¯s secret formula can never be discovered. Even if it really cannot be known. As long as a drug sells well, someone will imitate it. When the time comes, we will create a medicine that is 40 to 50% more effective. The price is low and it will completely replace Chen Jing's medicine. There is no way to avoid these problems. The entire medical industry has been like this since ancient times. "But my boss, the Wen family will not give you a deposit of 10,000 taels first." Mr. Ni was persuaded by Chen Jing and did not refute his words. Mr. Ni is also a person in this industry. He knows very well that Chen Jing¡¯s worries are by no means unfounded, but will happen sooner or later. ??Everything is planned and established. Failure to plan leads to failure. Ten thousand taels is too much! If it is one thousand taels, it would be more reasonable. But one thousand taels. It's relatively small money. When there is a bigger profit, Yi Yantang may give up the one thousand taels. "Ten thousand taels would be hard for anyone to part with." Not even Zongdetang dared to do this. "Wait for them to think about it. If they are willing to talk and are willing to bargain with us, then it is possible." Chen Jing said, "If they refuse outright, the deal will really not be done" "If they still How much are you going to lower the price? If they don't do this deal, what will you do in the future?" Zhu He asked Chen Jing. "Compared to Mr. Ni's major, Zhu He is more skilled in money. He wanted to know Chen Jing¡¯s plan. "I must persist." Chen Jing stood still and said to Zhu He and Mr. Ni, "Once you lower the conditions, it means you have denied yourself. At that time, it will be difficult to climb up again." Chen Jing said this When I spoke, I was standing on a sunny street. The sunshine in mid-June is scorching hot. When it shines on the face, it feels like slightly hot water flowing through the skin, causing a tingling sensation on the skin. Sweat dripped down his forehead involuntarily. The back was immediately soaked with sweat. Chen Jing¡¯s eyes were firm. He was facing away from the sunlight, and his entire face melted into the shadows, making it difficult to see his specific outline. The sun was behind him, coating him with a layer of golden light. His strong figure is like a bottle of Buddha neither happy nor sad, which makes people feel awe and full of infinite hope. "My boss, I listen to you!" Zhu He couldn't help being persuaded by Chen Jing, "No matter what, we still do some small business. Anyway, with you, my boss, we won't be hungry." The current small business is actually pretty good, with a little bit of money every month income. Mr. Ni is also satisfied. "Since my boss has already made plans, I will do as you say." Mr. Ni also said. The owner is the owner of this shop and the maker of patent medicines. He has all the secret recipes. Therefore, he has the power to make decisions, and Mr. Ni and Zhu He cannot object. "Thank you both for understanding me." Chen Jing said, "Don't worry, if this deal fails, there will be others in the future. Our Yuhetang will become famous all over the world sooner or later." Mr. Ni and Zhu He both laughed. Not only did I feel that Chen Jing was whimsical, but at the same time I felt a little excited, as if the hot liquid had been ignited by the hot sunshine. "It's too hot." After Chen Jing said that, he smiled and said, "Let's find a place to cool down. I know where there is ice. It's cool in the house and you can eat icy fruits. It's still close to here. " Zhu He and Mr. Ni also felt hot. It is undoubtedly the best to be able to eat ice cream now. They followed Chen Jing and walked forward quickly. "Wanjun Pavilion?" When he arrived at the place where Chen Jing said, Zhu He looked up and saw that it was actually a brothel. Zhu He's expression suddenly became unnatural, and he hesitated: "My boss, the business has not been concluded yet. Isn't it appropriate for us to go out to drink wine?" Wanjun Pavilion is very expensive. A servant like Zhu He never dared to get involved. In Zhu He's opinion, a brothel like Wanjun Pavilion is just a gold-selling cave, but it still rarely touches on subtleties. "It's okay." Chen Jing said with a smile, "I am the walking doctor of Wanjun Pavilion, and I am Wan Niang's friend. Let's come over and cool down, Wan Niang will not charge our rates. Don't worry, you two." Chen Jing walked in quickly. Zhu He and Mr. Ni looked at each other. "Let's go." Mr. Ni was hot and thirsty and didn't bother to pay attention. Moreover, Mr. Ni from Wanjun Pavilion also comes often. Wan Niang is not a black-hearted old bustard, and she is quite enthusiastic when entertaining friends. They followed Chen Jing and entered Wanjun Pavilion. Gui Nu hurriedly welcomed Chen Jing, asked him to sit down in the private room, and went to report to Wan Niang. Soon, Wan Niang came over in person.
