I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack Novel - Chapter 366
366 Things Were Different From What They Were
The manager’s shout caused the two directors to jump in fright.
Right now, Shen Zhong’s identity was Shen Yuansong’s successor, so he had authority in the company. When he heard the tirade, he immediately started reprimanding the manager. “What caused you to be so panicky? Have you lost all propriety!?”
On the other hand, Shen Chong always convinced others by virtue. He adopted a mature demeanor and looked at the manager, saying, “Big brother, the manager is also here. Don’t you think we should discuss with him how much we should be paying the Chu Corporation to purchase their raw materials? Manager, do you think a 50% discount is the lowest they are willing to compromise? You have been purchasing materials for so many years from overseas and should understand the cost the best…”
Shen Zhong coldly laughed, “50%? Second bro, I think you still don’t understand the situation. Even if we purchase their raw materials at 10% of the price, it is already equivalent to our Shen Family giving them face. They crippled my daughter’s leg, so do you think I’ll allow the Chu Corporation to stay in the capital?”
!!
Shen Chong tried persuading again. “Big brother, the main situation is more important…”
Shen Zhong. “The one crippled isn’t your daughter, so you naturally wouldn’t mind! In any case, I’m telling you this. As long as you don’t let me vent my anger, we will not purchase any raw materials from the Chu Corporation!”
After saying that, he looked at the manager. “I want to see if the purchasing department can afford to issue such a sum of money without my signature.”
The purchasing manager. “…”
He listened to their quarrels and felt a little speechless.
Right now, was it really the time for them to discuss whether they should purchase the raw materials or not? The problem was whether the Chu Corporation wanted to sell them or not!
He hurriedly interjected, “Directors, stop quarreling! Because the temperature of the environment has been rising, the raw materials from overseas have a problem. We cannot use them anymore! They just gave me a call and said that they won’t be able to provide any raw materials for two months!”
“What?!”
Shen Zhong abruptly stood up straight and looked at the manager in disbelief. “How is it possible that they cannot provide any raw materials for two months? Even if they had to adjust their recipe, they would at most need half a month to be able to cultivate a new batch, right?”
The manager wiped the sweat off of his forehead. “Director Shen, they have to provide the raw materials to companies in their own countries first before they can supply to us…”
This unique technology for growing this bacteria had always been monopolized by companies overseas.
Moreover, they had always been filled with wariness toward China.
Back then, it was Shen Yuansong who personally went to F country and negotiated this cooperation. But even so, the other party was still very wary of them and was afraid that China might steal their technology.
During these years, the Shen Family had always been investing in research, wanting to have a breakthrough in this subject. Although they had some achievements, they still couldn’t completely solve the issues yet.
Shen Zhong then started before continuing, “In that case, we will resume selling two months later. We won’t produce any of this medicine during this time. No one would die from that, right? We can’t possibly allow the circumstances to hold a noose around our necks!”
After Shen Zhong said this, the manager and Shen Chong exchanged a mutual glance.
Shen Chong then explained, “Big brother, this medicine is used for treating genetic diseases, and patients will need to inject two doses of it every week. Currently, many patients in the country are in need of this. At the very least, there are a few thousand people in the capital who depend on it. If you suddenly break the supply, people will really die.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhong’s expression grew heavy.
Although the issues with the suppliers had nothing to do with him, he knew that his uncle Shen Yuansong was someone who loved his country. If his uncle learned that he couldn’t resolve this crisis, his position as the successor might not be stable any longer!
Shen Zhong frowned and finally began to view this problem seriously. “Don’t we have any reserves from the past?”
Shen Chong spoke, “There are too many people using this medicine, and the number of patients is increasing every year. How can we have excess?”
Shen Zhong was dumbstruck and he began to frown. After that, he smacked the table in anger and coldly snorted. “The Chu Family has such good luck. In that case, we will purchase the raw materials from them!”
The manager also heaved a huge sigh of relief upon hearing that.
–
Chu Corporation.
The raw materials worth hundreds of millions were currently stored in the labs. Because the materials were only for a specific medicine that the other pharmaceutical companies didn’t produce, the raw materials couldn’t be sold to them. Right now, in China, only the Shen Family needed to buy these materials.
But these few days caused Chu Yuan to be burdened with worry.
He was currently grumbling in Chu Cichen’s office, “I really don’t understand why you want to produce this bacteria…”
Shen Ruojing sat on the sofa and was also looking at Chu Cichen hesitantly.
Ever since Chu Cichen returned to China, he had been pushing the Chu Corporation to develop in the pharmaceutical industry. Moreover, during these few months, he had sold all the Chu Corporation’s other businesses and channeled all the funds to focus on this. He had even constructed a very large scientific park in Sea City. Right now, one could say that the Chu Corporation was in debt due to paying immensely for research…
Did his sharp senses discover something? Or was this a coincidence?
Chu Yuan was still complaining, “…The Shen Family has always been purchasing this raw material from overseas. Since you produced it, I am sure you have the intention to cooperate with them. But if that was the case, you shouldn’t have formed a grudge with them due to a moment of impulse.”
Chu Yuan was a businessman and didn’t understand the hot-bloodedness of young people.
However, Chu Cichen’s expression was still calm when he heard his third uncle complaining. He reassured Chu Yuan, “Third uncle, don’t be anxious…”
“Can I not be anxious? Cichen, honestly speaking…after you returned to the country, I couldn’t understand the way you are operating the company. I can support you, but I don’t understand your impulsive behavior. You can convert to the pharmaceutical industry, as we were doing very well in Sea City. But why did you suddenly want to relocate to the capital…”
Chu Yuan rambled on and on and finally spoke in exasperation, “What do we have to compete with the Shen Family?”
“Capability.”
Chu Cichen seriously spoke, “Third uncle. The Chu Family has always depended on capabilities regardless of the industries we are involved in. Don’t worry, the Shen Family will take the initiative to contact us.”
Back in Sea City, the commotion had allowed Chu Cichen to ‘cleanse’ the company of unworthy people. Right now in the Chu Corporation, there was no one who could go against his decisions.
Hence, although the Shen Family was suppressing them, no one other than Chu Yuan dared to doubt Chu Cichen’s strategy.
Chu Yuan couldn’t help but ask, “When will they look for us? Cichen, it isn’t that I’m doubting your judgment, but we have endured this for one week…”
He truly couldn’t tolerate this anymore.
However, the moment he spoke, Chu Cichen’s phone suddenly rang. Chu Cichen then glanced at his phone before laughing as he spoke to Chu Yuan, “It’s here.”
Chu Yuan. “??”
He stared at Chu Cichen’s phone in disbelief and felt that his nephew must be joking.
(What is here?)
(It can’t possibly be that the Shen Family Leader personally called and said that they wanted to purchase the raw materials from the Chu Family, right?)
Just as he thought of this, he saw Chu Cichen picking up the call and switching on to speaker mode.
