“Lin Yi!” Liang Ruoxu said in a low voice, but Lin Yi didn’t react at all.

She turned her head and saw that Lin Yi was asleep!

“Lin Yi!” Liang Ruoxu said

“Huh? Are we done?”

Lin Yi sat up in shock. “I’m sorry, I slept too late last night, and I’m still a little sleepy.”

!!
Everyone in the meeting room had different expressions on their faces, and they all felt different things toward Lin Yi.

However, no one dared to say anything out of respect for Liang Ruoxu. Moreover, this wasn’t their main concern at the moment.

The price was set, and they were just waiting for Liang Ruoxu to make the final decision.

Everyone would be happy after this, and they could take the money and leave.

“We’re done. 289 a box,” Liang Ruoxu said softly.

“Ah?” Lin Yi’s expression was exaggerated. “You accepted this price?”

“This is the lowest price they can offer. I can’t get it any lower,” Liang Ruoxu said.

“But weren’t you aiming for 138? 289 is too high.”

Hearing the price of 138, everyone present had interesting expressions on their faces.

At 138 a box, they might still have been able to profit, but Pfizer weren’t fools. How could they sell it so cheaply?

It was a joke.

“138 is the price I expected. There’s a difference between what I expected and what I am seeing now.”

“Since there’s a difference, let’s not talk about it anymore. 289 for a box of regular medicine, with 60 milligrams in each box. This will only last for a week, so it’ll cost 1156 a month. Are you here to steal money from Huaxia?”

Lin Yi’s voice was very loud, and he didn’t bother about the identity of the people present.

He directly pointed out the elephant in the room that was previously keeping the negotiations peaceful.

“Mr. Lin, I hope you can look at this from a professional point of view. The quality of our Pfizer products are undeniable. The cost of raw materials, production costs, and transportation costs are all very high. I hope you can consider these before we talk about the price,” Zhao Wen said.

“And I’ve already told all the leaders and experts just now that although the other identical types of medicine are very cheap, its effects are incomparable to ours. Moreover, there are side effects, so our price isn’t considered high anymore.”

Zhao Wen continued chattering non-stop.

“Since you were willing to sit down and discuss this, you must regard our medicine positively, but I don’t see your sincerity.”

Liang Ruoxu didn’t say anything as she listened to Lin Yi quietly.

“You want to talk about professionalism and sincerity with me, right? I just woke up, so let’s have a good chat. Get your pens and notebooks ready. Take notes if you don’t understand. Then, you can go back and ask your leaders.”

“The drug ibuprofen is mainly used to treat cardiovascular diseases, as well as some people with high blood pressure. Its main ingredient is metoprolol tartrate, and its chemical name is 1-(Isopropylamino)-3-(2-(2 methoxyethyl) phenoxy) propan-2-ol… Alright, I won’t say much about the chemical name, you won’t understand even if I tell you, and you won’t remember it even if you understand.”

Zhao Wen, “…”

Where the hell did this b*stard come from?!

“Actually, this drug is already very mature. Forget Pfizer, even a company from Mars wouldn’t charge more than six yuan for it. You skyrocketed the price to start negotiations at 459 and then acted like you’re settling for 289. Don’t claim that your transportation costs are high. What, are you going to use a rocket to transport it?”

Liang Ruoxu looked at Lin Yi in surprise. She didn’t think that Lin Yi would know so much about this.

This negotiation today was so difficult. Could it be that he had spent the whole night searching for information?

Everyone’s expression changed when they heard Lin Yi’s price.

How did he know about such a professional topic?

“Mr. Lin, Pfizer has our own production system. Please don’t comment on our products without evidence,” Zhao Wen said.

“Don’t get too excited. You’re from Pfizer. You know better than me what’s going on, but you’re a businessman. It’s normal for businessmen to chase after fame and profit, so we’ll set the price at 9.90 yuan. This is our offer,” Lin Yi said.

“If you agree, we’ll sign the contract. If you don’t, the door is right behind me.”

Lin Yi’s words made the atmosphere in the meeting room strange.

“The price you’re offering is nonsense!” Zhao Wen said in exasperation.

Zhao Wen couldn’t maintain her cool, which was understandable.

Liang Ruoxu’s price was equivalent to cutting the price of a hundred-yuan dress in half. There was still room for negotiation at that point.

However, Lin Yi’s way of bargaining was different.

Zhao Wen was naturally unable to calm down when he said this. It was though he had explained the process of making a hundred-yuan dress. After this, he told them that the cost was only two yuan, and then asked them to buy it for three yuan. Naturally, Zhao Wen couldn’t stay calm when faced with this.

“I’m talking nonsense? Is your price not nonsense too? You gave us a price of four hundred and fifty-nine and then asked so many people to play along with your show. Do you think we’re all idiots? You just want us to give you the amount that you would like. That’s what you want, isn’t it?”

“I didn’t mean that. We’re just discussing the price according to the market rules.”

Lin Yi laughed coldly. “This is the Huaxian market. We can only accept this price.”

Zhao Wen was furious. She felt like the man in front of her was a scoundrel!

She would soon become a shrew if she were to keep talking to such a person!

“Mayor Liang, I hope that we can continue the discussion according to the price just now. The consultant by your side is just an amateur. He doesn’t know anything!”

At the same time, Fan Donghui could not sit still.

“Mayor Liang, we are Pfizer’s agents. Originally, I did not have the right to speak, but this consultant of yours clearly does not know anything. He only knows how to stir up trouble. If we let him continue like this, the negotiation today will not be able to proceed.”

Liang Ruoxu folded her hands together and said lightly,

“But he’s a top cardiologist in Zhonghai. If you claim that he’s an amateur, then nobody can be considered a professional.”

Everyone present was shocked by his words.

They were all surprised by Lin Yi’s identity.

He was so young, yet he was actually a top cardiologist?

However, with Liang Ruoxu’s identity, she wouldn’t lie.

“Even if he is a top cardiologist, he doesn’t have the right to meddle in the pharmaceutical industry, right?”

“Even so, I agree with his words. Perhaps the price of 9.99 is a little ridiculous, but the price of 289 is indeed not within my expectations either.”

“Be that as it may, 289 is our final price. It can not be lowered any further.”

“The door is behind us. Take care.”

The negotiation had reached the point where it was on the verge of breaking down. Unless one side made a big concession, then everyone would continue pursuing their own interest.

If that were to happen, the negotiation could very well end here.

However, Zhao Wen and the others didn’t leave because Liang Ruoxu was the head of this negotiation.

“Then let’s end it here. Meeting adjourned.”

Liang Ruoxu stood up, took her things, and prepared to leave.

“Mayor Liang, you should know just how big of an impact it will have on public health and safety in Zhonghai if we don’t have Pfizer’s medicine. Do you really want to let this man control this negotiation?”

“He naturally doesn’t have the right to set the price, but I myself have many doubts about the price of the medicine,” Liang Ruoxu said.

“The decision on whether we can continue the discussion or not is firmly in your hands.”
