Chapter 1831 Brothers Join Forces

The Deputy Minister was very happy.

very happy.

Lu Chengwen dared to speak and express his opinion at the critical moment, and this move was too ruthless!

If you keep arguing with me, I won’t sell it to you! This time, I could clearly feel the other party’s panic, and the other party’s trump card was exposed at once.

They need it! They need it badly!

Moreover, Lu Chengwen's logic is very reasonable and the beating is very painful!

If you don’t care about the lives of the people, then I won’t play this card. What I’m playing is your power!

Public outrage is boiling over, and as president, you're powerless to find a solution, unable to control the situation. You've even ruined a deal on a potentially effective, effective drug! How will you explain this?

What President Tianzhu is worried about now is not the lives of the people, but whether he can still sit firmly on his "throne".

He needs this medicine more than anyone else!

The deputy minister saw the other party's anger, hidden cards and character, and knew that the time had come.

It's time for him to stand up.

So he turned around and said gently, "Cheng Wen, when it comes to business, this is the way it is. You can't give up on cooperation just because the talks aren't going well!"

Lu Chengwen said, "It's okay if I don't do this business. Let the rich people in Tianzhu go to Huaxia to buy it themselves. I will do the purchasing for them. But the price will definitely not be the current price. It will definitely be the price of life-saving medicine. I can make a thousand yuan per box of medicine. Compared with the current profit of a few yuan per box of medicine (Lu Chengwen falsely reported), how much better is it?"

"You don't even have to increase production or add more production lines. I'll even immediately demand a production cut! Within a week, I can increase the price of this medicine a hundredfold! The price of my medicine will be the same as the price of gold!"

The other party didn't dare to say anything at this time.

Reality is stronger than people. If he really does this, no one can stop him.

Of course, you can go to the World Health Organization... the Presidential Agency, or some humanitarian organizations to sue and complain about him.

But he is a businessman!

Seven, I talked to you in advance, but we didn’t reach an agreement!

Besides, there is no point in suing. Those organizations can only condemn or send people to talk to Lu Chengwen again. It is better to talk to Lu Chengwen directly now.

He who holds the medicine in his hand is the boss!

The brown faces of the people on the opposite side were almost purple, and several people were breathing much heavier. The atmosphere on the scene dropped to freezing point.

The president smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, this is business (he still believes he is doing business). It's mutually beneficial."

Lu Chengwen cursed in his heart, "You cheap bastard."

That is... you said that we came here with full sincerity to help, to earn hard-earned money, for the sake of human conscience and justice, to save lives and heal the wounded.

Originally, both parties hit it off. I treat you well, and you let me make some money; I help you, and you say thank you...

Such a simple negotiation can be settled in ten minutes in China, and the other party even has to treat me to a meal and find some beautiful women to keep me company.

You guys just have to make your own president lose face. Even though it was a closed-door meeting, I got a president to give me a good scolding. How cool is that!?

Lu Chengwen did not reply at this time, but fiddled with a pen on the table with an unhappy look on his face.

At this point, you have to listen to your superiors. It's not that you can choose not to sell, but when to sell depends on the deputy minister giving the signal.

The deputy minister turned around and continued to discuss with Lu Chengwen:

"The people of Tianzhu are suffering. I know President Lu has always attached great importance to the fight against the epidemic and disease for all mankind. This matter concerns the lives and health of tens of millions of people. Cheng Wen, you can't act on impulse like this. We must talk."

Then he turned to look at the president. "Even close brothers can argue, right? We're neighbors. Even if we make less profit right now, don't let Mr. Lu lose all his costs. And as you can see, we're not just driving up drug prices or taking advantage of others' misfortunes. Mr. Lu said he was here to help from the moment he stepped on the plane. I hope Your Excellency and colleagues can appreciate this sincerity and my heartfelt gratitude for the people of Tianzhu."

The president quickly said, "Of course, of course. Mr. Lu, hahahaha, you have such a bad temper! We're all friends, don't you even give me a bit of face?"

The deputy minister and the president opposite him both started talking like this, and Lu Chengwen also quickly said:

"Sorry, I lost my composure just now. But Traditional Chinese Medicine is a cultural treasure passed down through the ages in China. Although there's currently no way to scientifically explain its specific therapeutic principles, pharmacology, and medicinal properties, thousands of years of practice have proven its effectiveness."

"Heavenly bamboo is located in the warm and tropical zone, so some medicinal herbs cannot be cultivated and grown. Even if they do grow, whether they possess the same medicinal properties as those grown in black soil requires a long process of research and experimentation. The people can't wait, and neither can you, Mr. President, right?"

The president opposite was feeling very sad, but he still had to keep a decent smile on his face.

Finished. This little bastard knows exactly what he's got.

"Okay, let's talk about the price! Forget about the hundred dollars, let's talk about a friendly price."

Everyone laughed together to save his face.

Lu Chengwen smiled and said, "Cheng Wu, you are now the president's think tank, right?"

"I guess so." Lu Chengwu said:

"I have a price in mind. I'll tell you and let you see if it's feasible!"

Lu Chengwu said, "We've packaged this batch of medicine in three different ways. The ingredients are the same, but they're divided into gold, silver, and copper boxes! The gold box is the most expensive, at $150 a box. The silver box is in the middle, at $98 a box. The copper box is the cheapest, at $39 a box!"

"We can use the inflated profits from the gold and silver boxes to subsidize the copper box. However, the price originally proposed by the Ninth Pharmaceutical Factory needs to be lower. After all... the President has been busy with this, so he can't end up paying for it himself, right?"

Lu Chengwu said, "Just think of it as us Chinese people making friends with the President. Minister, what do you think?"

The minister smiled.

These two brothers are talented!

Damn it, if I don’t tie you up, you’ll kill the Tianzhu people!

This way of selling medicine will definitely make money!

A rich man would pay fifteen hundred dollars, not to mention one hundred and fifty, and he wouldn’t care;

The middle class will definitely try their best to afford a higher price. If they are not sure about buying a box for 98 yuan, they will try to buy a gold box. As a second choice, they will buy a silver box.

In reality, only the lower classes, unable to afford such high prices, had to choose the copper box. But the good news is that the efficacy is the same.

This is equivalent to taking the money of the rich to fill the president's personal treasury, while also allowing the lower class to afford medicine.

This is a great move!

Putting aside the ethical issues of selling drugs and changing their packaging, this is an effective way to truly implement this matter, satisfy all parties, and truly make the president willingly save his own people!

As for the rich people in Tianzhu like you who got ripped off... well, just let them get ripped off.

So, Lu Chengwen quoted the lowest price.
