God's imitator

Chapter 551 The Same Kind of People
Chen Guangming paused slightly before continuing:
"You deliberately kept us in suspense, subtly shifting the topic to Class M drugs, and then pretended that you decided to buy more Class M drugs based on the information I revealed, all to cover up the fact that you knew about the special nature of Class M drugs."

"But unfortunately, I'm in sales, and these simple little thoughts can't escape my notice."

Zheng Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, Chen Guangming hadn't brought any Class M drugs from the beginning. The high purchase price and small profit margin were only one of the reasons, or perhaps just an excuse.

The real reason is that he already knew this medicine was special, so he deliberately refused to sell it.

However, after this showdown, the two sides no longer needed to hide anything and turned into a more direct confrontation.

Zheng Chunhua's face darkened: "Fine, since you've brought things up, I won't keep you in suspense any longer."

"I only want Class M drugs; I don't want Class O or Class F drugs."

"If you sell to me, I can allow you a certain profit margin, which will definitely be enough to use up all your current medical points, but you'll earn a little less."

"But if you don't sell to me, that's fine too."

"Because there is another salesperson."

"Her attitude was obviously much better than yours, and the price she offered for the medicine was also significantly more reasonable."

In Zheng Chunhua's view, Chen Guangming probably had no other choice.

Because of the auditor's special position, drugs must go through the auditor to be sold in Zone D.

Chen Guangming and Bai Zhilan belong to different communities and do not know each other. Moreover, the two sales rooms are not connected by a door, so they cannot communicate directly.

This can also be seen as a miniature "prisoner's dilemma," with Zheng Chunhua, the auditor, undoubtedly having the advantage.

Of course, in terms of the rules, players have the theoretical possibility of communication: first select a room to 'monitor' it, confirm who is in the room, and then initiate a call.

However, there is a prerequisite for this operation: you must know exactly who the player is, because the player's community and name are written on a name tag on their chest, which cannot be seen in the surveillance footage.

Chen Guangming and Bai Zhilan are clearly players from different communities, and the possibility of them knowing each other and colluding is very low.

For ordinary players, there is no other way but to compromise with the reviewer.

However, Chen Guangming didn't care at all. He adjusted his posture in a relaxed manner and said, "No problem, then you can get the goods from that salesperson."

……

Zheng Chunhua was taken aback; Chen Guangming's reaction was unexpected.

Is it just a bluff? Or is there some other hidden story?
Chen Guangming smiled and said, "No need to guess, I'll tell you why."

"Because I have completely opened up the sales channels in Zone C."

“The auditors, doctors, and even patients are all working seamlessly together, so I can make enough profit just by dumping drugs into Zone C.”

As for Zone D...

"You can continue to insist on only Class M drugs, but I will not sell them."

"I don't care about the meager profits from Class M drugs."

"Furthermore, I already know that Class M drugs are quite special and important to you. But that's precisely why I'm not selling them."

"If you can get Class M drugs through other channels, I have nothing to say. It's just business, and you have to accept the consequences."

"However... I still advise you not to be so optimistic."

"In this game, the players who are chosen as 'sales' are most likely to be the same type of people."

"What you can't get from me, you probably can't get from other salespeople either."

Time was up for this round of the game, and the two sides failed to reach an agreement.

The medicines that Chen Guangming brought were all unwanted by Zheng Chunhua, so no transaction took place between the two parties.

Chen Guangming got up to leave.

However, before leaving, he turned around and said, "Your idea is very noble, and I admire it very much."

"But does it make sense to do this in the life-or-death game of the arcade?"
"Think it over carefully, and come find me when you've figured it out."

"I can help you make a fortune; we can earn at least 30,000 to 50,000 visa time in this game."

Watching Chen Guangming leave, Zheng Chunhua sighed silently.

Each auditor works with two sales representatives, but each sales representative also works with two different districts.

If what Chen Guangming said is true, and the entire C area has already fallen, having completely broken through the chain of auditors-doctors-patients, then the profits in the entire C area are indeed substantial.

Chen Guangming really doesn't need to sell M-class drugs in Zone D anymore: rather than worrying about this insignificant income, he might as well give it up and exchange it for another possibility with higher returns.

The possibility that Zone D may also fall entirely.

Zheng Chunhua and Qin Cheng certainly didn't want this to happen, but fortunately they had other options: another one selling Angelica dahurica.

...The fifth round of the game.

Zheng Chunhua met with Bai Zhilan again.

"Uncle, hello!"
"As you said, I bought more M and O class drugs this time."

As Bai Zhilan spoke, she placed several white medicine bottles on the table in one go.

Zheng Chunhua glanced at the bottles and found that out of nearly ten bottles of medicine, only two were Class M drugs, and the rest were all Class O drugs.

He frowned slightly, dissatisfied with the result.

Zheng Chunhua's previous request for Class O drugs was merely an add-on; he actually only wanted Class M drugs, but he didn't want to reveal unnecessary information to the sales staff by specifically requesting Class M drugs.

That's why Class O drugs were needed as a cover.

If Bai Zhilan brings five bottles each of M and O class drugs, then Zheng Chunhua can choose to buy all five bottles of M class drugs and buy two bottles of O class drugs as a token bonus.

But the more important question now is, why would anyone buy Bai Zhilan like this?
Could it be that she, like Chen Guangming, had realized the special nature of Class M drugs and therefore deliberately bought fewer?
Zheng Chunhua didn't directly question her, because that could still leak information. He needed to continue the charade until Bai Zhilan revealed her true colors.

"Okay, then I'll take two bottles of Class M drugs and three bottles of Class O drugs this time."

"Based on your previous quotes of 1400 and 300 respectively, I'll give you a total of 3700, is that okay?"

"However, why is there a difference in the quantity of these two drugs?"

“I still hope that you can supply goods stably in the future. If that happens, I can consider only getting goods from you and not seeing another salesperson.”

"What do you think?"

Bai Zhilan was delighted: "That would be great! No problem."

"But Uncle, do you seem to have a particular preference for M-type drugs? Why? Is it because they're expensive?"
"But judging its value solely by its price is a bit too hasty, isn't it? Uncle, have you figured out its medicinal prototype?"

Zheng Chunhua was silent for a moment, then shook her head: "No, I don't know the specific differences between these drugs at the moment."

"Didn't I also buy more Class O drugs?"

"I'm just curious why the quantities of these two medications are different. Do your vending machines have purchase limits?"

Bai Zhilan shook her head: "No, not at all."

"However... Uncle, starting from the next round of the game, the price of 1400 per bottle for Class M drugs may not be acceptable."

Zheng Chunhua frowned slightly: "Why? Are you trying to raise the price on the spot?"

Bai Zhilan quickly waved her hand: "No, no, no, actually it's because... the auditor in Area A also specifically requested Class M drugs, and she was willing to offer 1800 per bottle."

“I think this price is very reasonable, so I had already agreed to give her priority in supplying goods.”

"I have a limited number of medical points. Class M medicines are very expensive, and if I buy too many and hoard them, I'll have trouble with cash flow, so..."

"I prioritize supplying to Area A, so I can only allocate a small portion of Class M drugs to sell here."

"Uncle, please don't be angry. I also have to consider the risks I'm taking. I'm really sorry..."

Bai Zhilan apologized very sincerely.

She suddenly remembered something: "Oh, right, Uncle, how about I give you another sample bottle? I ate some myself before, and there are still four pieces left. You can take it first, and I'll try to bring you more for the next round of the game..."

As Bai Zhilan spoke, she took out a bottle of Class M drugs from her pocket.

Zheng Chunhua reached out and took it, unscrewed the cap and glanced inside. The seal had been broken, and there were only four pills inside.

He thought for a moment and put it aside for the time being: "Okay, but I definitely can't buy medicine at the original price once it's been opened."

"You should squeeze some out of the profit margins of other drugs."

"Adding all of these together, I'll give you 4500."

"If Area A is willing to buy it at 1800 per bottle... I can do that too."

Zheng Chunhua wasn't sure if the other auditor was really willing to buy Class M drugs for 1800. It was possible that Bai Zhilan was deliberately lying to him, or it could be true.

Regardless, Zheng Chunhua's immediate priority is to obtain enough M-class drugs so that there will be sufficient pain relief medication should a large-scale outbreak of infections occur later.

It's not a big deal if these salespeople make a little more money in the first few rounds of the game. The more M-type drugs they have in stock, the better they can negotiate with these salespeople.

Bai Zhilan didn't raise any objections; she quickly nodded, "Okay, okay."

Zheng Chunhua then unscrewed the other three bottles of medicine, carefully checked the bottles and seals for any damage, and then carefully put them away. She and Bai Zhilan then swiped their medical cards to complete the transaction.

Bai Zhilan took the remaining unsold Class O painkillers and left the room.
