Chapter 375 - 375 Bottom Line
375 Bottom Line
The butler smiled bitterly. “How can it be so quick?”
Ever since they came back to the Shen Manor, only half an hour had passed. Moreover, there were so many people in the Yun Family, and he had to investigate matters from two generations ago. Even if the national public relations system investigated this, they couldn’t possibly finish checking the relationship connection of such a large family within such a short time.
Old Master Shen sighed after hearing this.
A short while later, he pointed at the area opposite him. “Sit down and eat with me.”
The butler knew that Old Master Shen must be feeling lonely, so he nodded. “Hmm! I’m just afraid that you won’t find the food nice if you look at my old face as you eat.”
Shen Yuansong sneered. “No matter how untasty it is, you are still accompanying me.”
The two finished the meal and after that, Shen Yuansong got the butler to get Shen Zhong and Shen Chong to his office.
Shen Yuansong directly summarized the agreement between him and Chu Cichen to them. He also commanded, “For this matter, you guys are not to pull any tricks and sabotage the plan. The Chu Family already paid a sum of money to get listed overseas and import the medicine back. This is for the sake of the thousands of patients. You guys should show the proper attitude befitting our status. Understand?”
Shen Zhong was filled with reluctance. “Uncle, the Chu Family is too much! They want to steal our business and bypass us to sell the special medicine? How can we let them get away with something so beneficial?!”
Shen Yuansong angrily scolded, “Is this the time to talk about profits? Thousands of lives are hanging by a thread!”
Shen Chong also argued, “But, uncle…if we spare the Chu Family like this, everyone would know that they are still living well despite bullying us. How would the other families still fear us then?”
Shen Yuansong took a deep breath. “If you want others to respect you, you don’t have to do it solely through intimidation. Enough, I got you guys to come merely to inform you. You all can leave now.”
Shen Zhong and Shen Chong then left unwillingly.
After the two of them exchanged a mutual glance, Shen Zhong suddenly spoke, “Second bro, are you willing to let Chu Cichen exploit you?”
Shen Chong sighed. “Naturally not, but we can only comply with uncle. On the other hand, big brother, you should be the one who is feeling unwilling, right? You haven’t avenged your daughter yet!”
Shen Zhong coldly laughed. “So, we cannot listen to uncle!”
Shen Chong’s gaze flashed. “But what will happen if he loses his temper when he finds out?”
“What can he do?” Shen Zhong looked at him with a deep gaze. “No matter how angry he is, what can he do to us? Chase us out? If that’s the case, who should he hand the Shen Family to? Second bro, the two of us are the only successors. As long as we cooperate, uncle can do nothing to us. At most, we will be scolded!”
Shen Chong laughed. “Big brother is correct. What should we do then?”
Shen Chong actually minded the profits that numbered in the hundreds of millions very much.
Also, he despised Chu Cichen so much that he naturally wanted to punish Chu Cichen. At the very least, he had to make Chu Cichen beg.
Shen Zhong laughed. “Once their medicine is imported and placed in our hands, it would depend on us whether the medicine is sold or not.”
If the patients or hospitals came to purchase, they could simply say that they had no stock.
After that, they would simply tell everyone that no one came to buy the newly packaged medicine because the patients and hospitals were worried and didn’t dare to use them.
They could also modify the price.
Shen Zhong was very familiar with such unscrupulous practices.
By doing so, even if the Chu Family produced the medicine, they wouldn’t be able to deliver it into the hands of the patients!
Three days later.
The special medicine that was produced overseas was urgently imported back to the country.
Because it wasn’t the Shen Family’s medicine, it was labeled as imported and the packaging changed.
Lu Cheng was responsible for interacting with the Shen Family’s contact person. The other party soon received the first batch and asked, “What’s the price?”
Lu Cheng recalled Chu Cichen’s words and replied, “Still $7,000 per injection for the patients.”
With this price, the Chu Corporation was actually losing money.
Because they had to get listed overseas first before importing the medicine back, they had to pay additional import taxes.
However, since Shen Yuansong had compromised so much, Chu Cichen also didn’t wish to earn money against his conscience. On the flip side, if the imported medicine was cheaper than what the Shen Family had been charging, the patients might doubt the medicine’s effect.
The contact person from the Shen Family. “Sure.”
But when he interacted with the hospitals, he went against the agreement. “The medicine we got this time was imported, and everyone knows that the supply has an issue, so the price is extremely expensive. It will cost $30,000 per injection.”
The hospitals were shocked and they didn’t dare to carelessly order the medicine.
For those loose patients who went to pharmacies to buy, the salespeople all said to them that they didn’t have this medicine in stock. So, for a time, the special medicine produced by the Chu Family was stuck in the storage. It couldn’t be sold!
Lu Cheng was extremely anxious because of this.
He had no idea what the contact person from the Shen Family had told the hospitals.
As for the patients, he wasn’t able to contact them as he didn’t have their information.
“It’s too strange. Although only three days have passed, in the past, when the medicine was supplied to the market, it would be sold out immediately. After all, there are too many patients, and the supply was always lacking. But why wasn’t our medicine sold at all?”
Lu Cheng was pacing about in Chu Cichen’s office anxiously. He was puzzled as he asked, “Bro Chen, say something!”
Chu Cichen asked, “What was the Shen Family’s reply?”
Lu Cheng answered, “They said that many people would accumulate a week’s worth of medicine, so they wouldn’t be in need of the medicine within the first week. Also, patients are used to the Shen Family’s medicine. Now that the packaging and the production place have changed, the patients don’t trust it…”
Chu Cichen lowered his phoenix eyes. It was unknown what he was thinking about.
At this moment, his phone suddenly rang. When he picked up, Shen Chong’s voice rang out from the other end. “Mr. Chu, I have a solution to your problem. Do you want to hear it?”
Chu Cichen. “…Speak.”
“Actually, we can use our Shen Family’s packaging and name your company as the source as well. At that time, we will split the profit in a 20-80 way. How about it? Oh, we will be taking the 80% and you the 20%.”
“…”
Let alone Chu Cichen, even Lu Cheng couldn’t help but curse them loudly for being despicable.
In the past, they wanted to purchase the raw materials at a very low price. Now, they actually wanted to do the same thing for the finished product? Their hearts were simply too ugly!
In addition, the Chu Family’s medicine was placed in the Shen Corporation’s storage. Shen Yuansong was the one who said that he wanted to help and the Shen Family wouldn’t charge them anything for this service!
Chu Cichen’s expression sank and he asked, “Does Old Master Shen know of your plan?”
“Uncle’s body isn’t too good, so he has long since stopped caring about the company’s business. He won’t be able to do anything even if he wants to!” Shen Chong laughed. “In addition, we are also doing this to solve your problem, right?”
Chu Cichen directly hung up the phone.
Lu Cheng. “Bro Chen, why do I feel that he doesn’t seem afraid of Old Master Shen from his tone?”
Chu Cichen immediately spotted the problem. “Even if this matter is brought up to Old Master Shen’s attention, what can Old Master Shen do? In the end, the Shen Family would have to be handed down to one of the two brothers.”
Lu Cheng, “…Old Master Shen is too pitiful. He has led an honorable life of glory, but in the end, his reputation is going to be damaged by his two nephews!”
Chu Cichen also sighed silently.
This was indeed so!
–
At the same time, in the Shen Manor.
Shen Yuansong woke up and was still groggy, but he soon saw the butler standing before him. “Sir, I’ve investigated the matter you told me to.”
After saying that, the butler passed a stack of documents to Shen Yuansong.
