Act Eleven: Good Reason, Wise Decision, Extraordinary Courage
When the two of them had coffee after breakfast, Roger spoke, "Consul Tanny, I want to ask, do you think of my drug, penicillin?"
"Oh, my goodness! That is definitely the most magical thing in the East, no one! I swear, I will only see Chinese medicine in the future, and the doctors I know in the United States are all butchers who only know how to hold knives!"
Looking at Tanni with an excited expression, Roger smiled: "Mr. Tanni, I don't have much interest in whether you like traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine. I just want you to tell me, if I open a company and produce this drug on a large scale, will it make money?"
"Make money? This word is completely inaccurate. You should use robbing money!" Tanny was excited again, as if there was a mountain of gold in front of him. "For those patients, your penicillin is not a drug, an angel, and their lives! In order to save himself, they will pay no matter how much money!"
Well... this view is consistent with Manager Xu. Of course, Roger also has this view, otherwise he would not have brought penicillin to the Republic of China.
"Very good, then Consul Tanni, would you like to be a partner in my drug company?" Roger shook the cappuccino in the cup and smiled devilly to release a candy called temptation to Tanni.
Tanni stared at Roger in disbelief: "I!? Partner!? Is this kind of penicillin produced??"
"certainly!"
"I do!"
So straightforward! Roger was stunned: "But I haven't mentioned the conditions yet?"
"Needless to say, you write the contract and I will sign it right away! I agree to any conditions!" Tanni said his decision very firmly. He had seen the effect of penicillin with his own eyes. He naturally understood the value of such a magical medicine. What he understood even more was his strength - he was rich but not too many, had connections but not too wide. Cooperation can hit him with such virtues as his ancestors. If he was struggling with the details and failed to catch it, he would definitely commit suicide in regret!
Although the conditions are not unavailable, Tanni, unlike those tycoons, it is difficult for him to bully the owner when he cooperates with him. This is his advantage in negotiating conditions, but it is also a disadvantage - there are too many people like him, and he wants to negotiate conditions, but some are willing to negotiate conditions without negotiation! So he also has to agree unconditionally. And unconditional agreement can still get the other party's favor, and maybe there will be some unexpected gains.
Tanni had thought that he would use his power to force Roger to hand over the secret recipe. Although he could blackmail Deng Benyin without any scruples, as a devout Christian, he absolutely believed that if he did that kind of thing to the person who had just saved his wife, he would definitely go to hell, and would definitely burn in the flames of hell for ten thousand years! Besides, can he really get a complete secret recipe if he did this? He couldn't guarantee it.
"Well, since you said that, I'll tell you the conditions." After a pause, Roger continued, "You need to do a lot of things. First of all, I lack funds, you need to help me get the funds to buy the equipment I need; secondly, I'm going to set up a factory in Qiongya, and you know the situation here. I need you to help deal with some problems when necessary; thirdly, I'm not in enough staff here, and I need you to help register patents in various countries and find suitable sales agents. Of course, you don't need to do these things yourself, and it's okay to find some people you can trust to help. Relatively, as a reward, I will pay you 10% of the shares of penicillin drug. Although it does seem to be relatively small, I believe you will get a hundred times the return on investment in two years!"
"I have no doubt about this." Although I was not satisfied with 10% of the shares, Tanni still agreed, because he knew that even if 10% was 10%, the wealth he would bring him in the future would definitely be an astronomical figure!
"But I'm very surprised, why do you need to run a factory here? Isn't it good for the United States? Even if you don't like the United States, then you can go to Shanghai or even Guangzhou? Why do you need to know that there are not even two real roads on this island!"
Roger smiled slightly: "The only reason - I like it here."
"Very good reason, extremely wise decision and extraordinary courage..." Tanni shrugged and curled his lips helplessly.
"So, I wish us a happy cooperation!"
“Happy cooperation!”
...
After Roger came out of the consulate in the afternoon, he immediately took a rickshaw to Chen Fengqi, preparing to tell him about the progress of the matter. Although he was extremely disgusted with the warlord who killed people without blinking, he even wanted to solve him with one shot, but there was no way. If he wanted to gain a foothold here, local tyrants must not be offended.
"Brother Chen, fortunately, I have already made friends with Consul Tanni!" As soon as I entered the office, Roger pretended to be a smile. Although he was hypocritical, he was still smiling.
"Oh!? So smooth? Thank you so hard, I'm so hard. I wonder what Consul Tanni said? Are you willing to lower the price? Let me tell you in detail." When he heard that Roger actually had sex with Consul Tanni, Chen Fengqi immediately stood up with a smile, hurriedly gave Roger seat, and then served his tea to him, as intimate as a biological brother.
Roger didn't dare to drink Chen Fengqi's tea. After taking it, he put it aside and continued to talk about the compensation: "Consul Tanni and I didn't know each other at first, but her wife was sick and I happened to be able to treat it, so I got in touch with him. I told him about our money, but they didn't agree to the price reduction! No matter how I said it, it was useless, and they decided that we didn't dare not pay the money!"
Chen Fengqi sighed and sat back on his chair dejectedly: "Oh... I knew that those foreigners were all things that cost money, and they were not that easy to pass..."
"However, although they did not agree to reduce the money, I found an important news. Maybe if you make good use of it, you can make the foreigners surrender!"
"Oh!? Let's hear it."
"In fact, the compensation for this time is not a request from the US government, but the money the consuls asked for on their own initiative!"
"That's it!? What's the use of this? We can't afford to offend both the US government and the US consul. We still have to pay the money." After hearing Roger's words, Chen Fengqi's expression of disappointment was beyond words.
"It's different! If this is a request from the US government, then we can't reduce the money too much, but if it's the consulate's own ideas, we can tell the money! Since it's a matter of self-decision, it's definitely a matter of making money and making contributions, but if we lose, we will definitely take the blame!"
Chen Fengqi nodded in agreement. He often does such private work, knowing that it is such a rule.
"So, the American devils don't care about this little thing. He is sure that we dare not offend them. But if this matter is really big, it will become an international incident, which will cause trouble for the leaders of the Consul Tanni. Then Tanni and the others will not be able to afford it. Therefore, they are not willing to make a big deal. If the matter is big, we really offend the US government to death, but Tanni and his group of people will definitely have to put the bed and leave!"
"Then...you mean...we scare them and bargain?"
"Yes! However, we must grasp the depth. If it is really a big deal, we can't stop it, but we are not afraid of making small fuss!"
"Don't worry, we are the best at this!" Chen Fengqi patted his chest with a confident look on his face
