All Are Equal Beneath the Holy Light (Continued)
"Mr. Zhang, what about that batch of Santonin deworming medicine from the Britain Gaili Subsidiary Company, Jiali..." Song Tianyao looked at Zhang Yuliang eagerly.
Zhang Yuliang lit a Ho Choi cigarette. "Of course, Secretary Song is straightforward and told me everything about Likang's financial dealings, so I must keep my word. European Coast Company can sell Likang Trading Company Hong Kong dollars 700,000 worth of Santonin deworming medicine."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, thank you very much." Upon hearing this, Song Tianyao happily stood up from the sofa and said to Zhang Yuliang.
Zhang Yuliang waved the cigarette in his hand and looked at Song Tianyao with a bright smile, saying, "Secretary Song is young after all, no need to rush. I haven't finished yet. The price of the 'Shan Santonin' deworming medicine is different from what I sold to Likang before. There has been a slight change. This time, the price is Hong Kong dollars 1,600 per kilogram. After all, if you make a little profit, I should also make a little profit, right?"
As if struck hard on the head, Song Tianyao swayed slightly. He looked at Zhang Yuliang, bewildered, and said, "Mr. Zhang, I called Gaili Subsidiary Company in Britain. The ex-factory price of the Santonin' deworming medicine is only Hong Kong dollars 800 per kilogram. Now, because of its low toxicity, this deworming medicine is not selling well. To dispose of this batch of medicine as soon as possible and avoid loss-making destruction, the price has been lowered to less than Hong Kong dollars 700 per kilogram. You previously partnered with Fu Zhong Trading Company to resell it at Likang Hong Kong dollars 1200 per kilogram, making hundreds of thousands..."
"Last time, Chu Xiaoxin didn't throw that cup of tea in my face, so I only made a few hundred thousand from Likang. But now that cup of tea has made me lose face. Even if Zhang Yuliang face is worthless, it's worth more than a few hundred thousand. Go back and think about it slowly. I'm not in a hurry. European Coast Company won't do business like Likang to build its reputation, but it's hard to say about other small companies. If Likang can do it, so can they." Zhang Yuliang, with a cigarette in his mouth, stood up from his desk, picked up the cat in his arms, and turned to the window to admire the scenery. "Secretary Song, I only did this because I saw that you are smart, so I kindly gave you a lesson in advance. This time, I won't let you fall so hard that you can't get up. Instead, I'll let you remember this. Don't be like your boss in the future, rushing to spill your secrets in the face of profit. It's like you think that European Coast Company can't produce low-toxicity drugs to impersonate high-priced drugs, so you think it won't threaten me. But such a big piece of meat, if I don't do it, I can't let Chu Xiaoxin benefit. Wouldn't it be better to let my relatives and friends benefit? Be smarter next time."
Song Tianyao stomped his foot hard behind him, turned around and walked towards the door. As he left, he still looked at Zhang Yuliang, who had his back to him, with resentment.
"Mr. Zhang, Hong Kong dollars 1,200 per kilogram..."
Zhang Yuliang lowered his head and teased the cat in his arms, gently shaking one of the cat's front paws as if talking to it. "When someone tries to scare you, don't rush to scratch their hand. Instead, suddenly stab their throat so they can't even scream when they try to grab their neck."
Upon hearing this, Song Tianyao sighed deeply and left in disappointment.
After Song Tianyao left, Zhang Yuliang gently put the cat down, returned to his desk, and muttered to himself, chin in hand. "This Song Tianyao, who doesn't understand business and only has some unscrupulous quick wit, may be able to maneuver and prolong Likang's life for a few years, but after a few years, he'll probably be driven to desperation. His trick of quickly making money by selling inferior goods is indeed clever, but unfortunately, he's still too young. Chu Xiaoxin is also an idiot, mistaking a piece of shit for a treasure."
He picked up the landline on the table and dialed a number. "Lawyer Pan, help me register a trading company under my brother-in-law Kuang Junlang's name, and then contact a small-dose medicine bottle processing plant and a powder processing plant to order a batch of Penicillin- labeled bottles, approximately four hundred cases of Britain- made Penicillin. Have them produce and package the medication according to the dosage of four hundred cases. I'll have Ah Lang meet with you and ask him to help you."
After he finished speaking, he put down the phone and called out to the door, "Dai Feng."
The young man named Dai Feng, as if he had been waiting outside, pushed the door open from the outside and looked at Zhang Yuliang: "Boss."
"Have someone book a private room at the Xinhui Restaurant in Shek Tong Tsui. Remember to remind me this evening to meet the young master of Jiyuan Hongxi Pharmacy Xinhui Restaurant; I have business to discuss with him." Zhang Yuliang was quickly calculating something on a piece of paper, not looking up, and said, "After booking the room, also find out where my elder brother's Wei Lin is, then drive me there to see him. Go."
"Yes, boss." Dai Feng closed the door and left after hearing Zhang Yuliang's instructions.
At this moment, Zhang Yuliang also stopped writing. After a row of calculation formulas on the paper, he found the profit that could be obtained after disregarding the cost of one kilogram of Santonin deworming medicine being counterfeited as Penicillin powder.
Song Tianyao, who left the European Coast Company close to noon, did not go to a restaurant or tavern for lunch. Instead, he took a rickshaw and rushed to Hong Kong Anglican Church Cathedral of St John, which is also in Central and located on Garden Road. This is the mother church and cathedral of the Anglican Church Hong Kong and Macao Diocese of Hong Kong and Macau. To put it bluntly, it is like the main church where Big Brother of Hong Kong triads are stationed.
Song Tianyao initially considered holding the Oxfam founding ceremony at venues such as the Hong Kong City Hall, Tung Wah Hospital, or even the University of Hong Kong Auditorium. However, it was Angie Perlis who suggested holding the Oxfam at Cathedral of St John. Her reasoning was that most Britain in Hong Kong were Anglican Church, and this was especially true of Mrs. Bess, one of the Britain founders of Oxfam. Choosing another location instead of a church would seem strange. Given the abilities of the Shek Chi-yik couple, they should be able to invite Anglican Church Ho Ming-wah. Hall, the Anglican Diocese of Hong Kong, to attend the ceremony. Bishop R. O. Ho Ming-wah's influence among the British in Hong Kong, and even among many China person, was greater than that of Governor Grantham. His attendance would subtly increase Oxfam's influence.
Moreover, Cathedral of St John does not charge venue rental fees for charitable activities and provides many parishioners to help maintain order in the venue.
Song Tianyao felt more and more that the Foreign Girl lawyer was a perfect partner to him. Angie Perlis had taken into account the issue of faith that he had not noticed and the religious beliefs that could be used as a reference. He naturally nodded in agreement.
Angie Perlis also told Mrs. Bess last night that Mrs. Bess was very pleased to hold the inauguration ceremony at Cathedral of St John. She also specifically told Angie Perlis last night that she and her husband, Shek Chi-yik, would come to Cathedral of St John at noon today to donate some food to the disabled people who are housed and provided with internships and employment at Cathedral of St John, and that they would stay at Cathedral of St John to have lunch with the church members.
