Chapter 119 Negotiation
When Zhou Dajiang heard the voice, he thought, "Oh, isn't this Shopkeeper Chen?" He quickly came ashore and said, "Brother Chen, how come you have time to come here today? Come on over and sit down. I'll pack up and go home soon."
He then ran to Da Dezi's house, cleaned himself up briefly in the Guo brothers' room, and changed into the clothes he'd left there. There was no other way, the downside to growing lotus roots was that you had to go down to the river. The water wasn't deep, but it was incredibly dirty, so he and Yu Quan and his son all brought a change of clothes.
Manager Chen's carriage did not leave, but stopped by the roadside waiting for him. Seeing that he had packed up and came out, he pulled him into the carriage.
Xue Jing was also in the car. "I received your letter and came here after finishing the things I was doing."
Zhou Dajiang: "Then how do you plan to deal with this matter?"
Xue Jing avoided the topic and said, "When you get someone together, we can talk about it together!"
Seeing that he looked confident, Zhou Dajiang thought he already had a plan. He was not in a hurry and would know the answer when the time came.
So, when he got home, he first arranged the two of them in the living room, then went to the greenhouse to call his wife and others back home, and asked Dali to go to the neighboring village to invite Qian Chuanbai over.
After lunch, Chen Xiuying, along with Yu Pozi, Qing'er, and Quan Dali, were working in the shed. The chili and tomato seedlings had grown and were ready for transplanting; the bok choy and leeks were ready for another batch. Little Xiangsheng was also very obedient, following behind his grandmother and playing by himself in the shed. Now that someone was here, everyone should stop working and hurry home to prepare dinner.
Manager Chen came to Zhou Dajiang's house because, firstly, Xue Jing was looking for him, and secondly, he had been waiting for Zhou Dajiang to come to the capital, and he didn't know if Dajiang's wife had developed any new dishes, so he took this opportunity to come over and take a look.
"Is my sister-in-law home? Oh, I didn't even get to eat the snack box last time. My grandfather took it away and asked me for more after he finished eating it. Where can I get it for him? I don't know if I can get my sister-in-law to make it for me again this time."
When Zhou Dajiang heard this, he realized that it was no wonder that there was no movement from his side. It turned out that he didn't get to eat! He must make clear arrangements for him this time. This not only concerns his own family, but also the breeding business of his eldest brother's family.
So he patted his chest and promised, "I will make sure that Brother can eat this time. You and Brother Xue sit for a while, I will go and arrange it for you now."
So Zhou Dajiang first told his wife, and then went to the factory in person to tell Xue Jin and Xue Ren that Xue Jing was at his house and would come over for dinner tonight.
I told my eldest brother to hurry home and get a few rabbits slaughtered. Don't be reluctant. This is your future rabbit sales client. If he leaves, who will you sell to? I don't care about sister-in-law, you decide for yourself. I've made an agreement with Xiuying, so hurry up!
After saying that, he didn't wait for Zhou Dahai to react and ran home. It had been more than ten minutes since he ran out. It would not be good to leave him alone for a long time.
After hearing what her husband said, Chen Xiuying knew that she had to make some arrangements. Now her family was raising chickens, and she would have to entice him to come to her house to buy chickens in the future.
So, she waved her hand and asked Mrs. Yu to go to Erwang's house and catch ten chickens. She didn't want old hens, but young roosters weighing two or three pounds. Don't ask if they can be eaten. With so many people, she will make sure there are no chickens left!
Shopkeeper Chen had tried the mouth-watering chicken before, so this time he wanted a change of pace. Spicy diced chicken! Teriyaki chicken legs! Pepper and salt chicken wings! Deep-fried chicken nuggets! Garlic chicken feet! And a braised chicken head! He'd chop up the rest and make the braised chicken. Unfortunately, they'd run out of potatoes last time; adding some would have made it even more delicious.
After the chickens, we'll get the pigs. Qing'er will go to town to buy the pork. Sweet and Sour Pork! Barbecued Pork! Shredded Pork with Fish Flavor! Braised Pork Cutlets! And finally, Boiled Pork Slices!
After I finished making the menu, I looked back and was shocked. Oh my god! Including the rabbit my sister-in-law sent, it seemed to be all meat.
Hurry up, sister-in-law, don't go. Please do me a favor and go to the mountain to pick some wild vegetables. I asked me to send everyone at home out, and we urgently need manpower to rescue them.
While Chen Xiuying was busy, her senior brother Qian Chuanbai also arrived.
Dali also came back. Seeing that his godmother was too busy, he asked his aunt to help her at home while he went to the mountains to look for wild vegetables.
On the other side, Xue Jing and Qian Chuanbai also started negotiations.
Xue Jing was very straightforward. He first took out a letter and some papers from his pocket.
The letter was from Zhou Dajiang. Xue Jing handed it to Qian Chuanbai first and said, "I came here mainly to read the letter Dajiang wrote to me. Please take a look at it first, and then we can continue our discussion."
Zhou Dajiang recalled that he had written quite a bit in the letter to persuade Xue Jing to come to Qingshan Town. He was moved by himself when he finished writing it, but he had never expected Xue Jing to use it as a negotiation weapon. His face flushed.
Qian Chuanbai was also curious when he saw this. What on earth had this junior sister's husband written that made such a big boss go to all the trouble to come all the way from the capital? Because he didn't think that "black rag" was worth such a big effort.
So he opened the letter and saw it written in plain language:
“Hey, brother, this time we discovered something good. It not only has good resilience, but also has good water resistance and plasticity, so we call it “rubber”.
If we have it, our car wheels can be improved into rubber wheels. Because of its resilience, we no longer have to worry about bumps when riding in a car.
And if you have it, the sealing problems of some machines can also be solved, because it can be used to make sealing rings. I have tested it myself, and the newly made water pumps and spraying rods have it, and it is effective!
I've even tested it, and it's incredibly waterproof. If we had it, we could use it to build boats, life jackets, and lifebuoys—all of which, you know, are strategic assets! With it, our soldiers would have an extra life!
If we use our brains, we may be able to use them to create many things that we couldn’t do before!
Now, although it has been discovered, my wife's senior brother is reluctant to give in because he is worried that its appearance will disrupt the medical market, causing many people to be unable to get medicine and save their lives.
"No, Brother Xue, you have to find a way. This problem must be solved! We have to take this rubber too! Because with it, not only you and I will benefit, but it will also benefit hundreds of millions of people and soldiers!"
Xue Jing saw Qian Chuanbai had finished reading, and without waiting for him to express his opinion, he continued, "After Dajiang told me the purpose, I couldn't calm down for a long time. In a person's life, there are only a few opportunities to benefit the people. I, Xue, am lucky enough to encounter this time, so naturally I will spare no effort to make it happen.
I understand your perspective. Doctors are like parents to their patients. No doctor wants to see their patients suffer or even die because they can't afford the medicine they need. This is something you, I, and none of us want to see.
Therefore, I also reported this matter to the higher-ups, and this is their advice." He then pushed the papers forward.
Qian Chuanbai took the paper and Zhou Dajiang also came closer to take a look.
"Hiss!" He couldn't help but gasp. He was familiar with this thing because he had signed it before, a deed to buy a mountain.
Xue Jing bought three mountains in the south at once! And unlike Zhou Dajiang who bought small ones, he bought mountains of nearly a thousand acres!
"Since the emergence of this thing can disrupt the pharmaceutical market, let's minimize this disruption.
I asked the head shopkeeper in the south to buy these. These mountains are also suitable for the growth of Eucommia trees, and we plan to plant more trees. Moreover, there are already many Eucommia trees on these mountains. "Sir, this should reassure you, right?"
