Chapter 507 Auction Methods
Heh! Dmitri hadn't expected the pill he'd overlooked to be even more potent, and was momentarily stunned.
"Ninth Master, we'll still offer the same quick-acting recovery pills as before. We won't charge any fees for the goods you bring into R Country."
Dmitri felt that these two pills would allow him to rise to a position in the Brotherhood that rivaled that of the leader.
Putting everything else aside, this "perfect tonic" alone is incredibly rare and highly sought after in their own red-light district. Besides, Hua Yan said their trade volume isn't large, so they won't suffer any losses; all that's left is profit.
Oh! Right, he hasn't asked about the price of this pill yet!
"Ninth Master, how much are you planning to sell this pill for?"
"In countries A and J, we sell them through auctions, with a starting price of ten thousand US dollars per pill. This is because the pill is very precious, made from rare medicinal herbs, and has no side effects. It can not only strengthen the body but also prolong life. Moreover, only I can make it, so the quantity is limited."
As soon as Hua Yan finished speaking, Dmitri almost couldn't catch his breath. He knew that this pill couldn't be cheap, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive.
Haha! What did he hear? It can even prolong life! Oh my god! They'll be fighting over it like crazy.
"Ninth Master, the conditions I'm offering are unique to you, there's no other company like it. You'll see how powerful Kang Si is in the future."
Although Dmitri acted on his own initiative, he was confident that he could get the leader or family to agree. The reason was simple: the fact that this "perfect tonic" could be auctioned for $10,000 a piece was something that not everyone could do.
Haha! When Hua Yan first brought out the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pills, she didn't expect them to be so popular. Later, she had to put them up for auction because everyone who had taken them knew their benefits. They were willing to buy them all for $10,000 each, so they ended up having to auction them off.
Hua Yan only provides each region with 300 units per month. She doesn't have time to refine more than that, especially given the recent plans of Country A to overthrow the Chinese government and Country J's biological weapons program, which have left Hua Yan overwhelmed with work. That's why she limits the quantity.
However, now that she has Qiu Bao refining the medicine in her space, she has plenty of medicinal herbs. She can give Qiu Bao the prescription and give him some pointers on the refining techniques, so Hua Yan doesn't have to worry too much.
"Then you, Cons, must guarantee that we will not be interfered with by any organization within R country. If there are any losses, you must compensate us, otherwise I will not cede so many benefits."
“Okay! As long as your goods enter R country, we will send people to protect them throughout the process, and we will compensate you for any losses.”
Dmitri really does have a lot of power; he agreed to such a big thing so readily. It seems Hua Yan underestimated him.
“Then let’s draft a formal cooperation agreement. Let me make this clear from the outset: if my goods suffer damage and you do not cooperate on compensation, we will immediately stop supplying the pills.”
Hua Yan must ensure the safety of trade. In R country, they are outsiders, and having such a backer makes their actions relatively safe and allows them to develop more rapidly.
"Okay! Let's put all of this into the cooperation agreement."
Dmitri didn't believe that Hua Yan's goods could have any problems under their protection; it was impossible, not even a one percent chance.
Without asking anyone else, Hua Yan drafted a cooperation agreement herself, including all the relevant details. She wasn't worried that they would back out, because given the popularity of the "Ten-Ingredient Tonic" and "Quick-Acting Recovery Pills" in Country A and Country J, she could imagine their prospects in Country R.
Regarding the quick-acting recovery pills, many gangs from countries A and J approached An Xin to purchase them, or even to cooperate with him, but An Xin refused them all, which made the Yamamoto family very grateful.
Even the governments of both countries approached An Xin, requesting to purchase large quantities of the pills, but he ultimately refused. Therefore, the Yamamoto family now treats An Xin with great respect, considering him a man of his word.
Now, if anything happens, An Xin's influence at the Yamamoto family's house in Japan is very strong.
Hua Yan also gave An Xin advice: if the Yamamoto family could open up markets outside of Japan, then the profits would be shared with them. If An Xin and his team developed the markets themselves, then the Yamamoto family wouldn't get any of the profits.
Huayan's cooperation with Kangsi also adheres to this principle: as long as it is a market they develop, they can get profits; otherwise, they have nothing to do with it.
The agreement signed with Dmitry not only bore the signatures of both parties but also their official seals. Hua Yan affixed the seal of Jiu'er Trading Company, while Dmitry affixed the seal of the Cons Brotherhood—both carries significant weight.
After the agreement was signed, Hua Yan didn't stand on ceremony and immediately called Chai Lu to ask for the exact location. Then she asked Dmitry to send someone to escort her safely.
Dmitry kept his promise and immediately sent someone to meet up with Chai Lu and his group, and thoughtfully provided a Chinese translator.
Hua Yan also showed her sincerity, giving three hundred of each type of pill, and then asked An Xin to send someone over to take over the task.
An Xin assigned Pan Bo to be in charge of the red-light district in R country and gave him specific instructions.
An Xin is currently stationed in Country J and has dispatched all his top generals there. Gao Wei has been sent to Country A to make contact with Liu Liang.
Now they are gradually infiltrating Asia, America, and Europe, and have begun to implement the Flower Face Project.
Hua Yan's trading partner with Country R is Nikolai of the Vononov family in Moscow. Their family is mainly engaged in oil and gas extraction. Nikolai's family has been marginalized by the family, so they have turned to trading. Nikolai mainly deals in Asian trade. Before coming, he told them to help purchase animal furs and grains.
When Chai Lu led his group to trade with Nikolai of the Vononov family, Nikolai was very surprised because the escorts were from Cons, and they all wore distinctive armbands. Anyone in R country who knew the ropes could tell who they were at a glance.
Nikolai was initially worried that Chailu and his men wouldn't be able to arrive safely, but it turned out that Chailu had connections with Cons, which guaranteed the safety of their goods. It was all good and no bad.
When Hua Yan arrived, Chai Lu was already loaded with two carts of animal pelts and eight carts of grain, waiting for her.
"Dad Chai, is everything going smoothly?"
Hua Yan could tell from Chai Lu's smiling face that things should go smoothly.
"Hehe! Everything went smoothly. Nikolai said that the people escorting our goods are from Cons, and they are quite intimidating."
Since meeting Sergei, Chai Lu had been worried that his business in R country would not be able to continue, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better and went much more smoothly than he had imagined.
"Yes! It's from Cons. I have a cooperative project with their brotherhood, and they guarantee the safety of our goods entering R country."
"What cooperation?"
Upon hearing about the potential collaboration, Chai Lu's curiosity was immediately piqued.
"It's about medicine; I've put Uncle Xin in charge."
Hua Yan didn't want to say too much, because only Liu Liang and An Xin knew about the information gathering; no one else was aware of it.
When Chai Lu heard that it wasn't someone he was familiar with, and since Hua Yan had already found someone in charge, he didn't ask any further questions.
"Jiu'er, there are too many goods. I don't want to waste time. I want to take everyone out for a meal and then head back."
"Okay! That's what I think too. We haven't found a railway route yet, so we can only use road transport. We have to be careful."
Hua Yan didn't have any strong connections in Heilongjiang Province, and she was too embarrassed to bother Gao Wei, a high-ranking official, with these small matters, so there was still no progress on the railway transportation issue.
"Jiu'er, shall we turn back the way we came?"
"Yes! Let's go back the way we came. After all, we're familiar with the area, so the chances of something unexpected happening are lower."
Chai Lu nodded in agreement.
After the meal, the convoy drove in a grand procession through the streets of Mo City, with Chai Lu and Hua Yan still escorting the vehicles from the front and back.
