The Luckiest Dumb Doctor - Chapter 293
Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Harmony Brings Wealth_1
Marvin Simmons chuckled, “Taylor, busy, are you?”
Taylor Ware was about to stand up to greet him, but then she remembered what Greg Jensen had said and sat back down, nodding:
“Mr. Simmons, what brings you here?”
“Haha, I don’t visit the Three Treasure Hall for no reason.”
Marvin Simmons smiled, about to sit down, but he realized that Taylor Ware had no intention of offering him a seat, and neither did the four people sitting on the sofa.
His brows furrowed slightly, but considering the factory was waiting for materials to start work, he could only suppress his anger and said with a smile, “I’m here to talk to you about the supply issue.”
“You want us to continue supplying?”
Taylor Ware instinctively looked towards Greg Jensen, inwardly startled.
How on earth did he do it?
Marvin Simmons actually really wanted Jamae Herbs Factory to continue the supply!
“Taylor?”
When Marvin Simmons saw that Taylor Ware wasn’t speaking, he thought she was unwilling and hurriedly said, “I am aware of the previous incident; we were indeed at fault.
Rest assured, for the goods you lost, our Westland Pharmaceuticals will fully compensate. Also, from now on, we’ll increase the price of all goods by ten percent. How does that sound?”
Marvin Walker and Felix Cooper were also stunned, their faces showing utter confusion as they glanced from Marvin Simmons to Greg Jensen, brain struggling to make sense of the situation.
The stance of Westland Pharmaceuticals seemed quite low, not only offering compensation for the previously lost goods but also raising the prices of future supplies.
What exactly had Mr. Jensen done to cause such a dramatic change in Marvin Simmons’ attitude?
They even wondered if Taylor refused to cooperate, whether Marvin Simmons might actually beg them for supplies.
However, it was just wishful thinking.
Because of the loss of the right to supply, the workers below had been making a fuss for several days. They would be burning incense if they could get the supply rights back; they didn’t dare to hope for anything else.
Marvin Walker was desperately signaling with his eyes for Taylor Ware to quickly agree, but she just opened her mouth without saying anything, instead turning to look at Greg Jensen.
Marvin Simmons’ eyebrows creased slightly as he turned to Greg Jensen with a smile, “Mr. Jensen, what do you think?”
Greg Jensen raised his head leisurely and said indifferently, “I don’t think much of it.”
“Mr. Jensen…”
Marvin Walker exclaimed in shock.
Greg Jensen glanced coldly at him, and the latter immediately shut his mouth.
Marvin Simmons’ complexion darkened as he frowned, “So what do you want?”
“What’s up with that batch of goods, you and I know perfectly well, compensation? That should be settled with payment!”
Greg Jensen lifted his gaze, saying calmly, “Any problem with that?”
Marvin Simmons’ mouth twitched slightly, “No problem.”
Greg Jensen nodded, then continued, “Our medicinal materials are much better than common ones on the market, and they yield higher active ingredients, so a price increase is justified.
That ten percent you mentioned is far from covering the extra value.”
Marvin Simmons nodded, “You’re right, so let’s make it a fifteen percent increase. Happy now?”
Greg Jensen shook his head with a sneer.
Marvin Simmons’ face sank again and he said with an undertone of anger, “That batch of goods is only worth so much. I’ve already increased it to fifteen percent. What more do you want?”
Greg Jensen looked at him mockingly and scoffed, “We worked all winter long to supply your branch factory, and then you simply decided to stop our supply without warning.
Now you come seeking our supply again, and we must give it to you? Why should we?”
“You…”
Marvin Simmons’ face looked incredibly unpleasant as he retorted angrily, “Kid, think it through. Westland Pharmaceuticals is a Simmons family business.”
Greg Jensen laughed coldly, sitting upright, “Don’t fucking waste my time with this bullshit. If you want the goods, then fucking talk to me nicely!”
Marvin Simmons bellowed, “Do you… do you have a death wish?”
The office instantly fell silent; Marvin Walker and others were so frightened that they didn’t even dare to breathe heavily, and Taylor Ware’s forehead also broke out in fine cold sweat.
That was the Simmons family from the provincial capital!
Had he lost his mind to talk to a member of the Simmons family like that?
However, Greg Jensen didn’t take it seriously at all. Instead, he smirked and said, “You’re more than welcome to try and see if you can kill me.
Oh, right! I almost forgot to tell you, at this time, you won’t be able to find any stock on the market!”
“You…”
Marvin Simmons was gasping with rage, but thinking of the waiting Westland Pharmaceuticals branch factory, he forced himself to calm down.
He took a deep breath, trying his best to stay composed, and said, “Tell me, what exactly do you want?”
“It’s simple, a three-year exclusive supply contract. The goods for the Westland branch factory can only be supplied by our Jamae Herbs Factory.”
Greg Jensen said indifferently, “Sign the contract, and you can use that batch of goods right now, and as for the rest, you can have as much as you want.”
Upon hearing this, Marvin Simmons fell into deep thought.
The goods from Jamae Herbs Factory were indeed excellent; each batch extracted a significantly greater amount of active substances than ordinary herbs.
This meant that Westland Pharmaceuticals could save a substantial amount of production and time costs.
The expression on Marvin Simmons’s face changed a few times, and thinking of the benefits for the Westland Pharmaceuticals, his countenance softened considerably as he asked, “Can you guarantee that every batch of goods will be of such high quality?”
“I can’t,” Greg Jensen shook his head and took a sip from his tea cup.
Marvin Simmons’s brow furrowed slightly. Considering the high quality of the herbs, he was willing to grant Greg Jensen a three-year exclusive supply right.
But if the quality couldn’t be assured, that wouldn’t mean much.
He’d rather lose the previous breach of contract penalty than to be beholden to someone.
However, before he could voice his rejection, Greg Jensen suddenly spoke, “I can’t guarantee that future herbs will have the same quality because the quality of herbs to come will only get better.”
“Um…”
Marvin Simmons, quick on the uptake, hastily retracted his words, almost biting his tongue in the process.
He didn’t even care about the pain, and looked at Greg Jensen in shock, saying, “Are you serious?”
“What do you think?”
Greg Jensen didn’t directly answer him, but instead smiled nonchalantly.
The previous batch had come from Peach Blossom Village, and the Formation there had been set up with stones from Cold Pond.
The effect was far inferior to those set up with Jade Stone, and naturally, the quality of the herbs was somewhat less.
This was the confidence that Greg Jensen had!
Even if Marvin Simmons was shortsighted and couldn’t see the profit in this, Greg Jensen could still sell the herbs to other pharmaceutical factories.
Such fine herbs would sell like hot cakes!
Marvin Simmons, too, was a shrewd character, and he quickly said with a smile, “Okay, I agree, but we still need to talk about the price.”
Greg Jensen said indifferently, “There’s nothing to discuss about the price, if you don’t agree then forget it.”
Marvin Simmons laughed heartily and said, “Mr. Jensen misunderstands, I think the price can go up a bit, since the quality of the herbs to come will be even better, right?”
Greg Jensen was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, “No wonder the Simmons family could become a leading clan in the provincial capital, such foresight and magnanimity indeed surpass the ordinary.”
“Haha, isn’t doing business all about prosperous cooperation? Don’t you agree?”
“That’s right, harmony brings wealth!”
Greg Jensen stood up, smiling as he extended his hand, and said, “Then, I wish us a pleasant cooperation!”
“A pleasant cooperation!”
