Chapter 703 – Bluff Part 2 of 2
“Mr. Feng, this is all the information for this research. It is worth at least 8 million USD, and it is because we have not gone far with this research. If not, we will not sell even for 10 million USD!”
8 million USD? Damn! You think I am a fool?! You don’t even get that much when you rob the bank.
“Mr. Victor. You also said that you all have not progressed far for this research and the data is so little. How can it be worth 8 million?”
“The prospect for this project is good. You all will get high returns after you developed the medicine successfully.”
“If this project is so good, why are you all selling it? I am guessing that a large amount of funds is needed to carry on with the research, or there are problems with this research. No matter what’s the reason, the potential of this project is not as good as what you claim.” Liu Michael said.
Victor frowned. This translator was really one of Feng Yu’s negotiator. He could discover the flaws from what I said. Damn! If it wasn’t for this translator, Feng Yu might have already agreed to the price!
Before Victor could retort, Liu Michael continued: “Unless you all can package all these research together and sell everything to us.”
Victor was stunned. Pack everything together and sell as a package? The effects of these medicines are similar, but if these medicines were mixed together, they might become poison. Do these people know what they were doing?
Even if they were ignorant about all these, Professor Wang should know.
The Chinese were all like this. Their traditional Chinese medicines also mixed all sorts of herbs together and claimed it can cure ailments. They have no standard drugs, and the medicine formulas were all thought up by their doctors. It’s a miracle for the Chinese to survive so long!
“Mr. Feng, is this what you want?” Victor turns to Feng Yu.
“Yes. How is it? It cannot be done? Isn’t all these research half completed? You all should not have spent a lot on these projects. Are you worried that the effects of these drugs will clash? We can just add some inhibitor in it, and it will solve all these problems.” Feng Yu replied with an “I am also an expert, don’t try to fool me” look on his face.
Victor was surprised that Feng Yu knew what an inhibitor was.
Inhibitor could be used to stop or lower the effects of chemical reactions between substances. It is a negative catalyst.
But even if inhibitor was added, it could not stop the chemical reactions of the drugs completely. An ignorant person is not scary. What’s scary is an ignorant person thinking he knows everything.
In Victor’s eyes, Feng Yu was such a person. But this type of people has one plus point, which was they will be easily tricked when you use some jargons they do not understand.
Liu Michael added: “Pfizer should have a lot of inhibitor products. You all can also sell us some inhibitors. We are willing to pay.”
They still want to buy inhibitors? Pfizer does have lots of inhibitors that were added to their medicines. But if they were to sell the inhibitors, it must be useable, or at least in the experimental observation stage.
“Mr. Feng, I need to speak to my company first. Can we discuss the prices for the other research?” Victor asked.
Feng Yu waved his hand: “We have to discuss the prices for all these drugs. We want to combine all these to create a super-effective medicine. How can we just discuss the price of one medicine?”
Damn! Do you think you are making a fruit platter? Mixing all these drugs together will not create a super-effective medicine. You will get a super poison!
Feng Yu did not give Victor any chance to persuade him and returned back to his hotel.
Victor was feeling disappointed. He thought Feng Yu would buy at least two abandon research today and he would hit his target of 10 million USD easily.
If Victor could sell these research higher than 10 million, he could still get a handsome reward. But what were these people thinking? They really believe that getting more research data and combining everything together, they will get new medicine?
Victor reported to George and George was also hesitating. The inhibitor must be effective if they were to sell to Feng Yu. There was no way for them to fool Feng Yu for the inhibitor. But the inhibitors were developed by them and had spent lots of funds. They had never considered selling these inhibitors.
But if they package the inhibitors together with the other research, they would be able to sell off those useless research data and get more than 10 million USD. This was like money dropping from the skies.
“Mr. George, if there is an inhibitor included, they will surely buy our products, and I am confident that we can sell them at higher prices. It will surely be more than 10 million USD!”
“No. We had also spent a lot on developing the inhibitors. 10 million is not enough. We must get at least 20 million USD! Can you do it?” George made his decision.
Victor gritted his teeth and said: “Yes if you can tell Mark to let them choose the ones they wanted from all our inhibitors!”
“No problem. I trust you, and I hope you will not disappoint me. If this deal is successful, I will not forget you. But if you fail, I will transfer you to Africa!”
Africa? Victor would never want to go to Africa!
Victor was determined to complete this deal. He needs to use some underhand methods.
“Mr. George, I need a sum of money to entertain them.”
“How much?”
“1 million USD. I promise I will be able to sell the research data for more than 21 million USD. We will be able to cover back these entertainment expenses! In China, the Chinese like to accept gifts.”
George looked at Victor for a while and then pick up the phone on his table to call the finance department: “Prepare a million USD for Victor as entertainment expenses.”
Victor thanked George and left. He was confident that he will succeed!
In the afternoon, Feng Yu received a call from Victor. Victor told him that the company had approved the sales of inhibitors. He asked Feng Yu to go over to Pfizer’s lab to see which inhibitors they want.
Feng Yu told him straight that he was tired. Professor Wang and the translator will go on his behalf.
Victor did not expect things to proceed so smoothly. Feng Yu will not be around, and the two who he wanted to bribe will be going over to the lab.
Professor Wang was looking through the production techniques of Pfizer’s inhibitors. He also spotted the research data which Feng Yu was looking for.
“Professor Wang, you have come to America for so long, will you be buying some souvenirs for your family?”
“Oh, I will be buying some.”
“Professor Wang, this is a gift for you. You can also cash it in China.” Victor passed a few cheques to Professor Wang. Victor knew Professor Wang likes money when they were playing Blackjack on the plane.
Professor Wang narrowed his eyes. 100,000 USD? This Victor really wants to bribe him.
“Mr. Victor. I cannot accept this gift.”
“Nonono…… This is for you. I think you need this, don’t you? No one else will know about this. After you return to China, I will still give you a sum of money.”
“What do you want from me?” Professor Wang asked.
“I only want to know which research data does Feng Yu wants and how much will he pay for it?”
“I only know which research he is interested in. But I do not know how much he will pay for it. Translator Liu does know about that.”
“Thank you. It is enough to know which research he picks.”
“Don’t you think 100,000 USD is too little?” Professor Wang suddenly said.
Victor laughed. He was not afraid of Professor Wang wanting more. He was worried that Professor Wang does not accept his bribes.
“I will pass you another 200,000 USD after I got the information.
“300,000 USD.”
“Hahaha. Professor Wang, you are so direct. Ok. 300,000 USD. I will pass it to you later. Looking forward to working with you!”
