Chapter 978: Giving in
It was only after Cao Bingyi tasted the pain that he realized that he was no match for them at all. He made a special trip to Qiaocheng to admit his mistake to the acting sect leader Xiahou Mulan, and reluctantly transferred the shares of Renhetang in his hands to Xiahou Mulan at a low price.
But this still did not gain Xu Chunliang's understanding. Xiahou Mulan suggested that he come to Dongzhou in person and have a good talk with Xu Chunliang face to face, so today's visit was made.
In fact, Xiahou Mulan had greeted Xu Chunliang before and told him that Cao Bingyi might visit him recently.
Xu Chunliang asked Kang Yueqi to invite Cao Bingyi to his office, but he couldn't kill without nodding. Since Cao Bingyi has transferred the shares of Renhetang to Xiahou Mulan, he has shown enough sincerity and cannot turn him away.
Cao Bingyi is forty-one years old and one of the most powerful figures in the Weimen Medicine Sect. Of course, this strength refers to financial strength, not how powerful his martial arts or his medical skills are.
In today's era, money has become the most common measure. Having money represents strength. Although Cao Bingyi's status in the tired family is not as good as that of the four elders, there has always been a saying that the strength of his Shennong Traditional Chinese Medicine Group is compared to The Mulan Group is even stronger, and of course the richest person among the tired family is recognized as Zhai Pingqing, one of the four elders.
The figures on the books made Cao Bingyi lose himself for a time, and even thought that he had the strength to challenge the owner of the door. It was not until he stumbled on the acquisition of Renhetang that he began to re-examine himself. If he didn't feel the pain, he would He would not be willing to give up the fat he had obtained, nor would he put down his body and come to Dongzhou to see Xu Chunliang.
Cao Bingyi had a good face and looked sanctimonious. Cao Bingyi worked hard to do his homework before coming to Dongzhou. The more he got to know Xu Chunliang, the more he regretted his involvement in Renhetang.
Enter Xu Chunliang's small office, Cao Bingyi's face was full of joy. As soon as he entered the door, he stretched out his hand: "Hello, Director Xu, I am Cao Bingyi from Shennong Traditional Chinese Medicine Group."
Xu Chunliang stood up to greet him and shook hands with Cao Bingyi: "I've admired you for a long time, I've admired you for a long time. Mr. Cao, please sit down."
Cao Bingyi sat down opposite Xu Chunliang, and Xu Chunliang asked Kang Yueqi to pour a cup of tea for the guest.
After Kang Yueqi left, Cao Bingyi smiled at Xu Chunliang: "I made a special trip to visit Director Xu today."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Mr. Cao is so busy with work, so don't make a special trip. The same goes for talking on the phone if you have anything to do. It's not like we haven't talked on the phone before."
The last phone call was not pleasant. Xu Chunliang took the initiative to give in, but Cao Bingyi did not agree to the conditions he gave, but there is no regret medicine in the world.
Cao Bingyi sighed and said: "Some things are better to be discussed in person to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
Xu Chunliang motioned for him to drink tea.
Cao Bingyi took a sip of tea and said, "I came here mainly because I want to explain to you in person that I don't know much about the affairs of Renhetang. At that time, I just wanted to take advantage of it, but I didn't expect to be tricked by the Zhou Yiwen brothers."
Xu Chunliang looked at Cao Bingyi with a smile. It's weird if you believe me. Cao Bingyi is also an old fox. He must have thought that the ownership of Renhetang's trademark was unclear, and there was something wrong with Zhou Renhe's will, so he chose to intervene in Renhetang, but he wanted to pick it up. Cheap for sure.
Xu Chunliang said: "It's best not to interfere with other people's housework. Mr. Cao is a man who knows the general situation if he retreats bravely."
Cao Bingyi thought to himself, "Can I not retreat?" You used tricks to make a group of competent authorities take turns to investigate my company. If I can't see the situation clearly, I'm afraid my basic market will be thrown into chaos by you and I will have no peace.
Cao Bingyi nodded and said: "Director Xu, the misunderstanding has been clearly explained. Please don't take it to heart in the future."
Xu Chunliang said: "Mulan told me, don't worry, Mr. Cao, peace will make you rich, and Mulan will need more support from you in the future." Let Cao Bingyi go, not just because Cao Bingyi obediently handed over the shares of Renhetang, Taking into account the influence of this person within the tired gate.
If Xiahou Mulan wants to successfully become the official sect leader of the Kumen, she must not only pass the assessment of the Six Skills of the Kumen, but also obtain the support of the big guys within the Kumen. The three months they have won are to use During this buffer period, we will first settle things internally, but there is still a lack of a suitable middle candidate.
Xu Chunliang looked at Cao Bingyi in front of him and felt that this guy was very suitable.
Cao Bingyi said: "That's for sure." He just said it with his mouth and thought secretly in his heart, support it? How to support? We already have a competitive relationship. If we just support her, I will drink the northwest wind.
Xu Chunliang did not discuss it in detail with him. Cao Bingyi came all the way and had to make his attitude clear.
Cao Bingyi didn't know whether he was concerned about his face or felt that his sincerity was enough, so he didn't make any other expressions. The two exchanged a few words. Cao Bingyi felt that Xu Chunliang's attitude towards him was a bit perfunctory, so he decided to get up and leave. In fact, he came here just for a walk. Cutting through, expressing your attitude, the real conditions must be met through Xiahou Mulan.
After Cao Bingyi left, he asked the driver to take him to Enheng Pharmaceutical. He and Enheng Pharmaceutical are long-term partners, and he just happened to stop by for a visit this time.
Cao Bingyi is very familiar with Sheng Chaohui and Liang Wenjing. He and Sheng Chaohui are even called brothers.
Chao Bingyi came to Enheng headquarters. Sheng Chaohui was doing exercises in the gym at this time. This guy was a Sanda athlete. Although his life style was not very strict, he was quite self-disciplined in exercise and insisted on exercising every day.
Cao Bingyi went directly to the gym. When he saw Sheng Chaohui running, Cao Bingyi smiled and said, "Brother Sheng." Sheng Chaohui waved to him, indicating that he still had five minutes.
Cao Bingyi visited his gym. After Sheng Chaohui finished running, he wiped his sweat and said, "Brother, I'm sorry, I must complete the tasks I give myself every day."
Cao Bingyi said: "Brother Sheng's self-discipline is admirable."
Sheng Chaohui smiled and shook his head and said: "Your body is deteriorating and can only be improved through exercise. Brother, you have gained weight. You need to increase your exercise. At our age, we must control our body fat rate."
Cao Bingyi smiled and said, "I don't live as carefully as you do."
Sheng Chaohui asked his secretary to take Cao Bingyi to the lounge first. He had to take a shower. This showed that he did not regard Cao Bingyi as an outsider.
Not long after Cao Bingyi sat in the lounge, Sheng Chaohui came over and sat down next to Cao Bingyi: "Brother, why didn't you say hello in advance when you came here this time?"
Cao Bingyi said: "I just happened to pass by, so I came to take a look." He handed the two boxes of high-quality deer antlers and deer whip to Sheng Chaohui, knowing what this guy likes.
Sheng Chaohui patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll make arrangements for the evening. Let us catch up on old times and let you experience Dongzhou's night scene."
Cao Bingyi laughed loudly, took out a box of cigarettes, handed one to Sheng Chaohui, and lit one himself. He came to Enheng Pharmaceutical not just to reminisce about the past, nor to experience the Dongzhou customs, so he took a puff of smoke. : "Brother Sheng, Enheng's purchase volume has decreased a lot recently."
Sheng Chaohui sighed and said, "It's not easy. You must have heard that Enheng Pharmaceutical encountered some troubles a while ago and a salesman died."
Cao Bingyi said: "The one who jumped off the building?"
Sheng Chaohui nodded. The guy's name was Chen Jianxin. He was not a fool. Chen Jianxin was Zhao Xiaohui's ex-boyfriend. In the past, he had never looked down on this spineless waste. It was Chen Jianxin who asked Zhao Xiaohui to take the initiative to approach him in exchange for his kindness. Heng's promotion, but Chen Jianxin obviously didn't expect that he would be in trouble.
It wasn't until Chen Jianxin jumped off the building that Sheng Chaohui learned from some sources that this guy actually had a good relationship with his wife Liang Wenjing. Sheng Chaohui knew very well that he must have been cheated on. From that time on, the cold war between the couple became more and more intense. Sheng Chaohui tried to get half of the family property through divorce, and at the same time get the freedom he longed for, but Liang Wenjing refused to let him get his wish, and the couple is now actually separated.
Cao Bingyi said: "I heard that you have given some orders to Mulan Group recently?"
Sheng Chaohui said: "I'm not too sure about this. You know, I don't have decision-making power in the company." In fact, he knew very well that Enheng Pharmaceutical has made some adjustments to its purchase channels in recent times. Take the purchase of Chinese herbal medicines as an example. In the past, 70% of the goods were obtained from Shennong Traditional Chinese Medicine Group, but now more than half of the orders are allocated to Mulan Group.
The main reason for this is Xu Chunliang's matchmaking. Of course, the quality of the Chinese medicinal materials produced by Mulan Group is indeed higher than that of Shennong Chinese Medicine, and the price is similar. Under the same price, of course, we should choose the one with better quality.
Cao Bingyi said: "Brother Sheng, after all, we have cooperated for many years, and we have always been very happy."
Sheng Chaohui said: "Brother, under the same conditions, Enheng will definitely consider cooperating with you first, but now that you have found the business, let's talk about it. Recently, there are indeed some problems with the quality control of your medicinal materials."
Cao Bingyi said: "This has always been the standard. I can guarantee that our products have always been stable."
Sheng Chaohui said: "That is because you have not been making progress in terms of products for so many years. Let's compare the same medicinal materials with Mulan Group."
When Cao Bingyi heard that Mulan Group had snatched his order again, he couldn't help but sighed and said, "It turns out to be Mulan Group."
Sheng Chaohui said: "Originally, I wanted to help you get more orders, but we are still friends there, so we have to settle the matter with a bowl of water. You also know the character of your sister-in-law."
Cao Bingyi said: "Sister-in-law, don't you think about our friendship?"
Sheng Chaohui said: "Mulan Group was introduced by Xu Chunliang, and we have a very good relationship."
“Xu Chunliang?” Cao Bingyi sighed inwardly, it was Xu Chunliang again, Dongzhou was Xu Chunliang’s headquarters, and with his connections in Dongzhou, these local enterprises in Dongzhou had to give him some face.
Sheng Chaohui said: "I heard that you had a lawsuit with Xu Chunliang?"
Cao Bingyi smiled bitterly and said, "Where did you hear the news?"
