For the Remains of the Maps
Not to mention that if it wasnât Fatty Lai facing Yu Kun, but other families who were impatient to climb up into the bigger houses such as House Kang, they would shed tears of gratitude no matter how bad Yu Kunâs attitude was.
It was House Yuâs prestige and people of House Yuâs pride. From House Yuâs perspective, there was nothing wrong with Yu Kunâs attitude. A collaboration from House Yu was a charity, a blessing!
However, they seeked the wrong target this time. In Fatty Laiâs heart, Lin Yi was the almighty boss, and House Yu was nothing but a piece of garbage in front of Lin Yi. If House Yu was so great, why did you want to purchase my Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing from us?
"The question is simple. You once bought ripped remains of a map during House Yuâs auction, may I know why you need it?" Yu Kun asked straightforwardly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He didnât think that Fatty Lai would hide anything from him in front of House Yuâs prestige. Those who attended their auction obviously knew the background. Who dared to rebel against House Yu?
"Remains of a map? What?" Fatty Lai was bewildered. When did he do that?
Fatty Laiâs expressions confused Yu Kun. He practiced martial arts and he was skilled in observing peopleâs expressions. From Fatty Laiâs surprised expressions, it seemed like he didnât know much about it.
However, Fatty Lai suddenly recalled that he indeed bought a part of a map for Lin Yi. Did House Yu come for this? The collaboration and benefit were all excuses?
Fatty Lai thought that it was most likely their goal! Obviously, Yu Kun came with a goal and it was the map! What secrets did the remains of the map hide?
"Mr. Lai, an eminent person has a short memory, isnât it?" Yu Kun sneered at Fatty Lai, "You bought it during the auction, and you canât even remember that?"
"I just remembered," Fatty Lai knew that he couldnât keep it a secret to him and confessed, "But I only bought it out of curiosity. You suddenly asked and I totally forgot about it! Indeed, it was a ripped map made out of sheepskin."
"Since you remembered, thatâs great. Can you tell me your intention of buying it? Or perhaps, do you know other parts similar to this?" Yu Kun was eighty percent certain that Fatty Lai didnât know the usage of the map. Otherwise, he wouldnât be surprised at his question!
"I was just curious, nothing big. As for similar maps, no, I have not seen any," Fatty Lai shook his head.
"Really?" Yu Kun obviously didnât believe Fatty laiâs words. Although Fatty Lai didnât know the secret behind it, why would he buy it if he had never seen any other parts before?
"Naturally," Fatty Lai smiled.
"Alright. If thatâs the case, give me the map and I will still give you a benefit," Yu Kun decided to change his strategy and make Fatty Lai give him the map. If the map was indeed useful to him, he definitely wonât give it away. But if it was useless to him, Fatty Lai wouldnât keep it.
"Oh, you will give me a benefit? So will Mr. Yu tell me about the benefit first?" Fatty Lai didnât answer Yu Kun straightaway but asked.
"Thereâs no harm in telling you. If you give us the map, House Yuâs Trade and Commerce will take the role of Miracle Doctor Guan Medical Companyâs national dealership for all your future products." Yu Kun replied indifferently, "You just have to sit here and wait to count money."
"Ha?" Fatty Lai stared at Yu Kun in disbelief. This is beneficial for him? Arenât you a greedy person? Asking for the national dealership of my company? Are you stupid or am I stupid?
The future sales of Miracle Doctor Guan Medical Companyâs products could be easily predicted. Fatty Lai was well aware of Lin Yiâs capability and knew how effective the products were! In other words, agents of the company would earn a fortune! Fatty Lai didnât plan to give this power away. He had a trading company and combined it with the medical company, becoming the sales department. He had an independent sales channel. Why did have to give profits to others?
Indeed, if it was an unknown small business, they wouldnât have to worry about their sales if House Yu acted as their agency. House Yu had vast connections, and all of the wealthy gentlemen around the country will give them respect!
So if this were the usual situation, the company would save a lot of efforts if House Yu took over a new product. They wouldnât only avoid fees for the sales channels and ads, but they wouldnât even need to worry about sales! Someone from House Yu would naturally take care of all of it!
However, to Fatty Lai, it was nothing but a lion opening its mouth for a bite. How was this a benefit? It was obvious that they wanted to seize profit from Fatty Lai!
"What do you think. Isnât the benefit great?" Yu Kun saw Fatty Laiâs shock, and he was pleased with himself since he thought his generosity shocked Fatty Lai.
"Haha, if thatâs you want, then I wonât be able to make the decision. In our company, we have a marketing department and sales channel ourselves," Fatty Lai smiled apologetically, "However, if House Yuâs Trade and Commerce would like to order a batch of products, I will give you a generous discount."
"What do you mean?" Yu Kunâs face immediately dropped since he didnât expect Fatty Lai to decline the offer!
House Yu took the initiative to be your agent and you refused it? Yu Kun felt like he had lost all his dignity! Not only his but House Yuâs, as well! This was something that others would beg them for, yet Fatty Lai thought that it was unnecessary!
Didnât he know the connections that House Yu had? They only have a product which hasnât even been introduced into the market, yet he fantasies of having his own sales channel? The market was reigned by Miracle Doctor Kangâs Golden Creation. How dare you dream of a new brand?
Indeed, you built some prestige amongst those of the upper class in the society, but arenât you daydreaming about the public approval that your brand will have without House Yuâs help?
"Haha, Mr. Yu, this company doesnât belong to me alone. I am merely a manager, and I am only authorized to discuss the supply of the products in the market. As for the agency, I do not have the power to decide since the main point of our company was to be our own agent," Fatty Lai shrugged.
"Well, very well. I hope that you wonât regret your decision made today!" Yu Kun glared at Fatty Lai loathly and thought, how is this man so ignorant?
