Chapter 135 Effects in Five Minutes
Xia Liu's concern was not unfounded.
He knew exactly what the medicinal liquor he had concocted was capable of.
And sure enough, not even five minutes had passed before Liu Liguang's face turned rosy.
Even his neck was becoming flushed with heat.
Liu Liguang kept his head down, his face sporting an odd expression.
He had never anticipated the medicinal liquor to take effect so swiftly, and his buddies had already been stunned.
"Uncle Liu, how does it feel?"
Despite feeling somewhat embarrassed, Xia Liu still asked.
"It's effective, but I may need to excuse myself," Liu Liguang nearly burst into tears. Despite the super awkwardness, he had to leave.
If he endured it any longer, he was truly afraid he might explode.
Without waiting for Xia Liu's response, Liu Liguang hunched over and hurriedly left the private room.
"This guy has been hanging around Binlai City for a long time, he should have ways to handle girls," Xia Liu muttered to himself and nonchalantly poured himself another drink.
About ten minutes or so later, the door to the private room was pushed open.
Xia Liu didn't turn around, but a puzzled look crossed his face.
The effects of the medicinal liquor shouldn't have worn off so quickly.
"Xia Liu, what did you do to my dad?" A sharp voice rose from behind Xia Liu, the anger in the tone was crystal clear.
Liu Lanxin was very angry at the moment. She had originally come with Liu Liguang.
Before Xia Liu had arrived, she had made an excuse to leave, after all, the medicinal liquor involved an embarrassing aspect.
But she never expected to wait in the car for quite a while, only to be informed by a call from the server.
Liu Liguang had run out of the private room, hunched over with a face full of panic.
"I mean, Miss Liu, what are you doing here today?" Xia Liu was speechless. This girl actually dared to come and confront him.
Doesn't her brain turn at all, thinking the medicinal effects could subside so easily for Liu Liguang?
"Testing medicine!"
"Well, that settles it then. Your dad is having a reaction now, so coming to me is pointless," Xia Liu said unabashedly.
Liu Lanxin's face immediately drooped, this...
"Hehe, your dad has been in Binlai City for so many years; he must be prepared, so don't worry," Xia Liu couldn't help but say it, but seeing the girl's naive reaction, he decided to tease her instead.
"Shameless! Do you think everyone is like you?"
Hearing Xia Liu's implications, Liu Lanxin's face changed again and she snapped at him angrily.
...
Just as Xia Liu was about to speak, Liu Lanxin's phone rang.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
She quickly picked up and saw that it was Liu Liguang calling.
"Hello Dad, how did the negotiation go?" Even though she knew what happened, Liu Lanxin wouldn't acknowledge it to Liu Liguang.
"Not bad, Xia Liu is a good person, working with him will definitely pose no problems, let's leave it at that for now."
Liu Lanxin could tell from her father's voice that he was in a hurry.
She began to imagine wildly, wondering if it could really be as Xia Liu had said.
However, before she could speak, a female voice on the other end said, "Lan Xin, your dad just called and asked me to come over, we are going to attend an event, I'll have to leave you now."
"Okay, Mom, take care while driving."
Liu Lanxin quickly caught on and felt a weight lift from her heart.
Indeed, Xia Liu was right; her dad had been in Binlai City for many years and there was no social scenario he hadn't encountered.
Testing the medicine naturally comes with an antidote.
Wait a minute! Liu Lanxin was stunned by her own exclamation, how could she think like that!!!
She couldn't help but blush.
Xia Liu was shocked into a blank expression on the side.
Liu Liguang was indeed prepared, even bringing his wife along.
Xia Liu had no choice but to give a thumbs up, that was just too freakin' awesome.
"Heh heh, Miss Liu, can you rest assured about my medicinal liquor now?"
"Rest assured my ass, it's all your fault!" The more Liu Lanxin thought about it, the redder her face became, and she ended up blaming everything on Xia Liu.
"Alright then, if you're not reassured, I can only look for another partnership, alas..." Xia Liu didn't argue, just went along with the girl's mood and put on a distressed face.
"What! You dare to run away!" Liu Lanxin suddenly raised her head, if she were close to Xia Liu, she would definitely grab his collar and give him a few good slaps.
"Dare not, dare not..."
"Let's talk about the partnership."
Seeing Xia Liu compromise, Liu Lanxin proudly puffed out her chest and said.
About the partnership, Xia Liu had already prepared for it.
Just like before, he would get the medicine at cost price, plus fifty percent of the profit after deducting the cost from sales.
Liu Lanxin was very satisfied with this clause, as Beauty Mud operated on the same model.
Now, what needed to be discussed was the selling price and the cost price.
"I plan to sell the medicinal liquor in bottles of 300 milliliters, the cost for 300 milliliters is five thousand Huaxia currency."
"Hm, that price is about right. So, what do you think is an appropriate selling price for a bottle?" Liu Lanxin nodded, the effect of the medicinal liquor was evident, and as long as it wasn't too outrageous, people from all walks of life could afford it, that's how it would become outrageous in a good way.
"Let's set the domestic selling price at ten thousand Huaxia currency."
"Three hundred milliliters for ten thousand? Isn't that a bit..."
"Don't worry, you just need to drink a little bit of the medicinal liquor for it to be effective. Three hundred milliliters, if used sparingly, can last for a year."
Xia Liu understood Liu Lanxin's concerns but knew that pricing the medicinal liquor too low wasn't good for either himself or Tianluo Pharmaceutical.
Throughout this discussion, Liu Lanxin always felt a bit awkward, but she had no choice and had to plow through.
"Wait, you just said the domestic selling price is ten thousand, what about internationally?"
It was only then Liu Lanxin realized that this guy had quite big ambitions.
"We do not accept online orders for the medicinal liquor. If we export it, each bottle's selling price has to be ten thousand pounds."
"That..."
Liu Lanxin didn't know how to respond, ten thousand pounds, when converted to Huaxia currency, that's a hundred thousand!
The price went up ten times once it left the country, that was just outrageous.
"Foreigners are all quite wealthy, and they're open-minded, indulging themselves from a young age, and many above twenty have various issues."
Seeing the skepticism written all over Liu Lanxin's face, Xia Liu leisurely began to explain.
...
"Alright, since you're the one who created it, Tianluo Pharmaceutical is simply an agent." Liu Lanxin didn't want to argue with Xia Liu about such an awkward issue, whatever he said would go.
In the following time, Xia Liu and Liu Lanxin continued discussing the medicinal liquor.
From the price to packaging, from promotion to storefront planning.
Two hours later, Xia Liu signed his name on the contract that Liu Lanxin had prepared.
After Xia Liu finished signing, the door to the private room was pushed open.
Liu Liguang walked in with a radiant look, and seeing his daughter there, he quickly improvised, "Xia Liu, I'm really sorry, I had an important business event."
"No problem at all, work is important." Xia Liu looked at Liu Lanxin, responding with a bitter smile.
