I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack Novel - Chapter 367
367 Recrimination! (1)
Chu Cichen’s voice was calm. “Director Shen.”
The person who called him was precisely Shen Zhong.
Shen Zhong’s voice rang out from the other end. “I’ll take your raw materials.”
Chu Yuan. “!!”
!!
Although he had no idea what was happening, he was finally relieved. After that, he immediately made a gesture to Chu Cichen.
Chu Cichen asked, “The price?”
Shen Zhong replied, “50% of the market price. How about it?”
Chu Yuan immediately performed an ‘okay’ gesture.
Although they had spent a lot of money—over 100 million including the research costs—to get the technology and cultivate this batch of materials, the money spent was, in fact, to be used for connecting them to the Shen Family since they had just arrived at the capital.
The Chu Family had developed for so many years, and their net worth had long since exceeded a billion. So, losing $100 million wouldn’t harm them at all.
The main point was that if this batch of raw materials weren’t sold, it would signify a problem later on when the Chu Family tried to break into the pharmaceutical market of the capital!
Right now, the pharmaceutical industry in the capital was controlled by the Shen Family. The Chu Family couldn’t get a foot in it.
Only by cooperating with the Shen Family and getting them to circulate the news would it show that the Shen Family had relented and the Chu Family could finally establish themselves here.
Hence, honestly speaking, even if they gave this batch of raw materials to the Shen Family for free, as long as they managed to secure a long-term cooperation contract, this 100 million would have been worth it.
So, regardless of the price being 50% or 10%, Chu Yuan could accept it.
Sadly, Chu Cichen would never make a losing deal. He didn’t beat around the bush and directly spoke, “Director Shen, I know about the situation in F country. Currently, they can’t even take care of themselves, and you guys will be out of supply for two months at the very least. If their research period lengthens due to some reason or whatnot, the duration of you lacking the supplies will be even longer.”
Shen Zhong’s pitch rose. “What? Is CEO Chu preparing to raise the price?”
Chu Cichen lowered his eyelids. “I can sell them to you at market price, but I want you to sign a two-year purchasing agreement with me.”
Shen Zhong immediately laughed coldly and spoke imperiously, “Impossible! Chu Cichen, you better know what’s good for you. The Shen Family is already giving you face by wanting your goods. Do you think I have no idea about the purpose behind your company producing this batch of raw materials? Isn’t it to fawn on us? I’ve given you enough face by willing to purchase it at 50% of the market price!”
Chu Cichen’s voice also turned cold. “If you just want to purchase them in a one-off deal, sure. I’ll sell them to you at ten times the market price.”
Shen Zhong sneered. “CEO Chu, I think you are unclear about the situation. If we don’t take your materials, we can simply choose not to produce this medicine. But as for you guys, leaving aside the loss in investment, you will never be able to enter the capital market!”
Chu Cichen frowned. “From what I know, thousands of people are in need of this medicine every week. If you guys don’t produce it, what will happen to them?”
Shen Zhong’s tone became frivolous. “What do their lives have got to do with me? Oh, CEO Chu, it seems that you feel a very sense of responsibility toward society. Things are easy to solve then. If you don’t sell the raw materials to me at 50% of the market price, they will die.”
Shen Ruojing narrowed her peach blossom eyes and coldly glanced over, only to see Chu Cichen’s fingers tightening on his phone. The green veins at the back of his hands were throbbing in agitation.
Because the raw materials to produce this medicine were imported, their price was extremely expensive. The Shen Family priced each injection at $7,000, and those who needed this medicine had to spend $60,000 per month. That meant, just the thousands of people in the capital would create an income stream of hundreds of millions for the Shen Family!
Now that there was a crisis, Shen Zhong wanted to abandon them?!
He wasn’t fit to be a human!
Chu Cichen’s voice turned colder by a few degrees. “Director Shen, this is a huge income stream. If thousands of patients die, you guys will lose the income stream forever.”
“I’ve already investigated. The number of patients that require this medicine in China has been increasing every day, so the death of old patients won’t affect us much,” Shen Zhong nonchalantly replied. “In any case, the supply from overseas is quite much, so it’s definitely enough for the patients to use. In addition, not a single pharmaceutical company in China can produce this special medicine.”
Chu Cichen pursed his lips.
The companies overseas only provided a fixed amount of raw materials for the Shen Family every time. So if the number of patients increased, the medicine produced would naturally not be enough.
It was because of this that the Chu Family didn’t mind losing money to research and create the raw materials, so they could provide them to the Shen Family.
However, they hadn’t expected the Shen Family to actually ignore the lives of thousands of people.
Shen Ruojing’s breathing grew heavy as anger surged in her heart.
When she looked at Chu Cichen, she saw a hint of rage on the face of this normally composed man.
