C113 Rising Prices Again
"What?"
Xu Fann couldn't help but be surprised. Didn't we agree to only raise it by 30%? Why did Xia Yanyu give him another 20% increase?
"President Xia, did you remember incorrectly? We agreed on 30% higher, but now you're half higher?"
Xu Fann looked confused. He did not understand Xia Yanyu's intention in doing so.
"Xu Fann, the reason why the price is 20% higher than what we agreed upon earlier is because I want to apologize to you. What happened just now was our fault. "At the same time, I thank you. If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have noticed these problems. It seems like it's time to clean up."
Xu Fann grinned. He seemed to have helped Xia Yanyu a lot?
He looked at his ordinary appearance, and the fact that he was riding in a huge truck, this kind of ordinary appearance, was indeed able to help Xia Yanyu detect many problems with her Xia's.
"Sigh, perhaps it's because of these reasons that our Xia's cannot compete against the Star City this time around …"
As a result of this incident, Xia Yanyu seemed to recall her recent troubles and couldn't help but sigh.
She slightly wrinkled her willow brows, her charming face was filled with grief due to the heavy matters on her mind. Looking at her made one's heart ache.
It wasn't easy for Xia Yanyu to carry such a heavy burden at such a young age.
Xu Fann looked at Xia Yanyu seriously, and asked: "President Xia, why don't you tell me, what kind of trouble did the Xia's meet with?"
"Eh?"
Xia Yanyu didn't expect Xu Fann to be curious about this. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Fann.
She didn't expect Xu Fann to help her at all. She just wanted to find someone to complain to, so she started talking.
"Speaking of which, this matter is actually quite complicated. Xu Fann, have you ever heard of Star City Potions?"
"Star City Potion?"
Xu Fann frowned. This name sounded familiar, as if it was something he had seen on TV before.
Wu Tie nodded and said, "I have a slight impression of him. President Xia, what's the matter?"
Xia Yanyu sighed and explained, "Ever since my grandfather established Xia's Medicine, the relationship between him and the Star City Medicine has never been very good. He's always been a competitor …"
"My grandfather is known as the genius doctor. Under the influence of this halo, many successful pharmacists turned to our Xia's to make medicine. As a result, in all these years of struggle, even our Star City has been unable to compete with our Xia's."
Seeing Xia Yanyu's gloomy expression, it was clear that the trouble with Xia's this time around was related to it.
Xu Fann asked: "If that's the case, then the Star City has always been suppressed by the Xia's, and in my heart, I'm definitely not convinced. My guess is, what methods did the Star City use recently, is it starting to counterattack?"
Xia Yanyu glanced at Xu Fann, nodded, and said, "That's right, the current CEO of Star City Pharmacy is Xiao Buqi. This person has a ruthless nature, and he has always been unscrupulous in the pursuit of his goals. Ever since he assumed the position of the Star City's CEO, his previous dejected look had changed, and he's begun to attack our Xia's. "
Xia Yanyu's expression could not help but turn serious as she sighed and said: "I wonder what kind of method Xiao Buqi used. In these past few days, quite a few of the alchemists in our Xia's have been poached by him, so it can be said that his Xia's is in danger right now."
In these past few days, Xia Yanyu had been busy dealing with Xiao Buqi. Unfortunately, no matter how she tried to persuade him to increase the salary, the number of alchemists in Xia's were still decreasing.
Xia Yanyu had never encountered such a large-scale excavation, not to mention at this critical juncture!
A few days ago, under the request of the army, Xia's began to develop a healing medicine that could quickly heal wounds.
Xia Yanyu had spent countless nights and days working for this project, but just when the project was about to be completed, something happened.
One by one, the project team's pharmacists left Xia's Pharmacy and were all dug out by Star City Pharmacy!
What was even more outrageous was that not only did these pharmacists jump off the charts, they even took away the results of the research which they had worked hard to achieve, leaving behind not a single bit of results for the Xia's.
After working so hard for so long, she ended up being plotted against by the enemy. To Xia Yanyu, this was undoubtedly a huge blow.
You have to understand that there are a lot of cooperation between the Xia's and the military. If we are unable to provide a sample of the healing medicine on time, at that time, the military might cancel their long-term partnership with the Xia's medicine!
At that time, Xiao Buqi could bring Xia Yanyu's hard work to the military to cooperate and turn the situation around in one fell swoop! It would establish her position as the overlord of Star City medicine!
This ambush could be said to be a setback for Xia's Medicine, but Xiao Buqi was even more powerful than he thought.
In order to ensure that this plan was foolproof, she continued to take action even after she dug up Xia's's project team.
In order to prevent the Xia's from being able to develop healing medicine before the time limit was up, she did not hesitate to spend a huge sum of money to coerce and lure people who used Xia's and medicines to do so.
As a result, it was no longer possible for the remaining pill refiners of Xia's Pharmacy to reconstitute their research and development team. The only thing Xia Yanyu could do was to struggle on the edge of death.
After Xia Yanyu explained the situation to Xu Fann in detail, she couldn't help but sigh and said with a wry smile, "Xu Fann, I really have no other way out. But still, thank you.
"President Xia, actually …"
Xu Fann saw Xia Yanyu's forced smile and could not help but feel his heart ache. He wanted to tell her that he could actually provide her with even more powerful medicinal plants than these wild herbs, but at this moment, he saw a group of people walking towards them from not too far away.
"Oh?" President Xia, are you really that optimistic? Do you really think that you can turn the tide just with this little bit of wild medicinal herb? "
Xu Fann frowned and kept his words, then looked to the side.
He saw a slightly fat eyed man carrying a seductive woman. Under the protection of two bodyguards dressed in black, he walked over arrogantly.
When Xia Yanyu saw the other party's face, her expression turned cold. She gritted her teeth and cursed, "Tianfeng, what are you doing here!?"
"Oh?" President Xia, why are you so angry? "
