Chapter 347 Price Increase
After talking with Evelin, Lu Chen immediately flew to California.
Not long after Lu Chen left, Shanzhong Erbi came to the villa in a hurry again. Upon learning that Lu Chen was not at home, Shanzhong Erbi could only leave Lu Chen's house in frustration.
As soon as Lu Chen and his party landed at an airport in Los Angeles, California, a group of people immediately surrounded them. This frightened Lu Chen so much that he immediately ordered Hans and others to be on guard.
When the crowd got closer, Lu Chen finally saw the person coming. He saw Green in a tuxedo, walking in front of the group with a smile on his face. Seeing that the person coming was Green, Lu Chen let Hans and the others relax, and then walked towards the crowd.
When the two groups met, Lu Chen and Green hugged each other. After the hug, Lu Chen looked Green up and down, and then joked:
"Brother Green, you weren't wearing a military uniform. I almost thought some boss had come with his men to block me. I had already asked Hans and the others to prepare for a fight, but I realized it was you.
So how come you have time to pick me up? Shouldn't you be in the Philippines?"
Green said to Lu Chen with an unhappy look on his face: "What Philippines? I am no longer in the army. Why am I still staying in the Philippines?"
Green is no longer in the army. This news is shocking. Lu Chen asked:
"Brother Green, you are not in the army, so what are you doing now?"
Green said: "I am currently helping my family manage a company, and I am going to run for senator next year."
Lu Chen looked at Green in surprise. Then he smiled and said:
"You've given up martial arts to pursue literature. What kind of congressman are you going to run for? Do you need my help?"
Green said: "I am going to run for state legislature in California first."
After hearing this, Lu Chen could only shake his head and said, "California, then I can't help you much."
Green smiled and said, "It's okay. I have the confidence to take down this congressman without your help. After all, I have accumulated a lot of connections over the years, and my family will also help. It won't be difficult for me to take down this congressman."
After the two chatted for a while, they left the airport with their people and headed towards Green's new manor.
After arriving at Green's new manor, Lu Chen learned from Green's introduction that Green's new home was not far from Lu Chen's pharmaceutical factory. It was only a few kilometers away.
When Green mentioned the pharmaceutical factory, Lu Chen immediately brought the topic back to the pharmaceutical factory. He said:
"Since you are so close to the pharmaceutical factory, have you ever been there to see it?"
Green nodded and said, "I've been to see it. Your factory is doing well."
Lu Chen agreed and said, "I also think that I have run this factory well. Both the output and the quality are very good now. But I recently discovered a problem. Why are there so few people buying penicillin in American hospitals? Is this drug difficult to sell? If it is difficult to sell, I can take back the sales rights and sell the drug myself, so that you don't have to waste it."
Green didn't expect Lu Chen to ask this. He smiled and explained:
"Brother Lu Chen, why do you care about this? It's not like you don't have medicine to use. You just need to produce the medicine. Don't worry about the sales. We will take care of it."
Lu Chen continued with a smile, "I have great faith in your sales ability. After all, you can sell penicillin for 20 yuan per bottle, which is already a very impressive ability. But isn't this yuan per bottle too expensive? You see, not many people in this hospital buy this medicine. How about I give you less penicillin every month? This way, you can lose less money."
How can we reduce the supply of penicillin? Penicillin is a very popular drug now. So Green immediately said:
"No, no, this penicillin sells very well. The ones you give us every month are not enough to sell. So you really don't need to reduce the supply."
Lu Chen said, "Brother Green, you don't have to force yourself. If it's not selling well, just tell me. I won't blame you. So, starting from next month, I will give you 100,000 fewer penicillins each month. This way, you will be less stressed. We will sell the remaining 100,000 medicines ourselves."
Green finally realized that Lu Chen was not saying that the sales of penicillin were not good, but that the price he offered was too low. Lu Chen felt that he made too little money and was going to sell the medicine himself to make money. After realizing it, Green smiled and said:
"Brother Lu Chen, just tell me how much you plan to raise the ex-factory price to."
Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Is the factory price low? I don't think it's low. I think the current factory price is pretty good."
Green rolled his eyes at Lu Chen in displeasure. You are very satisfied with the current factory price. If you were satisfied, you wouldn't have said anything about reducing supply. Green smiled and said:
"I also think the price you offer is fair, but I can't bear to see those workers working overtime in the factory and only getting a dozen yuan a month. So, for every penicillin we sell, our family will donate three dollars to the factory so that the factory can raise the wages of those workers."
You sell one and you give me three dollars. That sounds good, but how can I know how much you sold? If you say you bought one, then you only have to give me three dollars. Lu Chen certainly couldn't accept Green's statement, so he said:
"I don't think this is good. It's too much trouble for you to hire someone to count how many medicines you have sold. This is too much trouble. I think I'd better forget it and reduce the supply."
Green didn't know what Lu Chen meant, so he said:
"Well, there's no need to go through so much trouble. We'll just calculate based on the amount you give me. As long as the pharmaceutical factory gives us one dose of penicillin, we'll donate three dollars."
The price of one cigarette increased by three dollars, and the factory price was only four dollars. Lu Chen felt that it was still a bit low. After all, Green and his friends sold it for twenty dollars. Lu Chen felt that even if he didn't want half of the sales price, he should at least get 30% or 40%. Lu Chen was silent for a while and said:
"The workers are really hard-working every day. They have to work overtime for seven or eight hours every day to meet your demand for goods. I plan to let them work less overtime. Brother Green, you know that many of Big Ivan's brothers have come here recently. They advocate that the workers should fight for more power. If we let the workers work day and night to rush the goods, it may be difficult."
Green gritted his teeth and said, "How about this? I'll donate five dollars for each bottle of medicine. This is the greatest sincerity we can offer."
Six yuan per stick, a price Lu Chen could barely accept. So he said, "I didn't expect that you, Brother Green, care so much about the workers. I would like to thank you on their behalf. So, in order to let you feel the enthusiasm of our factory, I decided to invest some more money in the pharmaceutical factory to buy equipment, so that I can supply you with more goods every month. What do you think?"
Green said: "Thank you so much, Brother Lu Chen."
