Hong Wu usually regards this place as his own office. As long as he doesn't go out for business, he stays here.
Smith was taken to Hong Wu's tea room. As soon as he saw Hong Wu, who had a strong aura of martial arts, he hurriedly stepped forward and said politely: "Hello, Mr. Hong! My name is James Smith, from Washington, USA!"
Hong Wu shook hands with him, invited him to sit down across from the sea of tea, and said with a smile: "Mr. Smith, please sit down quickly and have a taste of our Chinese tea!"
Smith quickly sat down and took the tea handed over by Hong Wu. He didn't care about tasting it and said impatiently: "Mr. Hong, I would like to ask your help to make an appointment with Mr. Wei Liang of Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical. I wonder if it is convenient for you here."
?”
Hong Wu said with a smile: "Convenient! Of course it is convenient! As long as the public relations fee is paid, I will make an appointment for you immediately. Then you will make an appointment in the diamond box of my Tianxiang Mansion. You will definitely have a table!"
Smith was overjoyed, but when he thought that Hong Wu would definitely charge a fee, he asked tentatively: "Mr. Hong, I wonder what the public relations fee is?"
Hong Wu chuckled, looked at Smith like a butcher looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and said with a smile: "If you ask Mr. Wei out for dinner, the public relations fee will be five million US dollars at a time!"
"How many?!"
Smith was so frightened that he almost couldn't sit still.
Five million dollars?! Isn’t this price too outrageous?!
The public relations company I worked with had previously quoted Wei Liang only US$50,000.
Why did Wei Liang increase the price a hundred times when he arrived in China?!
I had spent too much of my savings on treating my child, so how could I get as much as five million US dollars?!
Thinking of this, he said with a sad face: "Mr. Hong, to tell you the truth, my financial situation is far from as good as you think. Let alone US$5 million, even US$50,000, I may have some difficulties now...
..”
Hong Wu shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Then there is no other way, Mr. Smith, five million is a fixed price, there is no room for any discount, and I will tell you that from now on, every day, this price
It will increase by one million dollars. In other words, if you haven't paid before 12 o'clock tonight, then after 12 o'clock, it will be six million US dollars.
"
Smith felt dizzy.
He thought to himself: "Is Wei Liang's revenge mentality too strong? Even if I did something wrong, there is no need to directly increase the public relations fee a hundred times, right?"
When Hong Wu saw that he was silent, he took out his business card, handed it to him, and said calmly: "Mr. Smith, you can think about it carefully. When you think about it, you can call me.
"
Smith knew that Hong Wu had issued an eviction order, so he couldn't continue to stay here. He could only say helplessly: "Mr. Hong, I will discuss it with my family and contact you as soon as there is a result.
"
After coming out of Tianxiang Mansion, Smith had mixed feelings in his heart.
The more he encountered obstacles in China, the more he regretted his original attitude towards Wei Liang.
However, regret is regret, and he also knows very well that he will never give up like this now.
Therefore, the only way is to meet Wei Liang first through this Hong Wu.
But the cost of this meeting was indeed astonishingly high, five million US dollars, which was completely beyond what I could bear.
Just when he was at a loss what to do, he suddenly remembered that the Ministry of Health had greeted him before, so he immediately picked up his phone and called the other person back.
As soon as the phone call came through, the other party couldn't wait to ask: "Smith, have you met the person in charge of that pharmaceutical company?"
Smith sighed: "Not yet. Their person in charge said that the meeting needs to go through an intermediary, and that intermediary asked for an intermediary fee of five million US dollars..."
"Five million?!" The other party was dumbfounded and blurted out: "Are they crazy? Do they really think that dollars can drop from the sky?"
Smith said helplessly: "That's the attitude they have now. I don't have any other options, and I can't come up with so much money. If you can help me solve this cost, then I will talk to their person in charge."
If we meet again, if you can't solve it, then there's nothing I can do.
"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and Smith could even hear the gritting of teeth on the other end. Then, he heard the other party say angrily: "Damn it! Five million is just five million! This money comes from the budget of our Ministry of Health!"
