Zhong Xiaokai's words made Kaul blush and speechless.

That’s right, what they have been selling to the Xiafang market are outdated products developed more than ten years ago.

In the past, they made a fortune by selling this outdated medicine.

Now that prices are about to drop, it is certainly impossible to launch a new generation of products.

But they didn't expect that the other party would see through it right away.

Only then did Call believe what James had said before.

This person named Zhong Xiaokai is really not simple.

Several other experts from the association also raised questions to the foreign investment negotiation team.

"Please explain why you treat our market differently. Where is your sincerity?"

"Also, there are problems with the prices in the list you drafted."

"Your original price is the dealer's selling price, not your factory price."

"Shouldn't you use the factory price as the original price? Please explain this."

After repeated questioning, several members of the foreign negotiation team blushed.

The atmosphere in the entire negotiation area suddenly became tense.

Several people from the foreign investment negotiation team immediately started talking to each other.

Seeing them discussing again, Zhong Xiaokai sat there with his eyes on the nose and his nose on the mind.

The other people also sat in silence, their eyes fixed on the tips of their noses.

The foreign investment negotiation team discussed for a long time before stopping.

James looked at Zhong Xiaokai and said:

"President Zhong, please allow me to explain this issue to you."

"First, regarding the new and old products, this is our company's business layout."

"I can guarantee that there is no difference in effectiveness."

After hearing his explanation, Zhong Xiaokai showed an unpredictable smile on his face.

To be honest, this explanation was a bit ridiculous, and he was too lazy to respond.

James then went on to explain:

"Regarding the price in the listing, we believe there is nothing wrong with reducing the price based on previous sales prices."

"The factory price is a secret between us and the agent and cannot be disclosed."

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaokai spoke.

"Mr. James, there's no need to talk any further."

"I think that's fine. Without your medicine in our market, it won't have any impact."

"Everyone, please help yourself."

"No no...wait a minute."

James didn't expect Zhong Xiaokai to be so direct. He stood up and was about to leave.

He quickly called Zhong Xiaokai and said:

"President Zhong, please be patient and listen to me."

This tactic of playing hard to get really worked, Zhong Xiaokai was forcing them to show their cards.

Then he sat down again and said:

"Mr. James, please speak quickly."

James looked at several people in the team, and then said as if he had made up his mind:

“We can replace the products with the latest generation for our respective businesses.”

"Let's lower the prices by 30 percent. Is that okay?"

James believes this is their biggest concession.

After saying this, he looked at Zhong Xiaokai closely, waiting for his reply.

Zhong Xiaokai smiled and said, "Mr. James, I won't beat around the bush."

"To be honest, your concession does not satisfy me."

Hearing this, Kaul on the opposite side stood up angrily.

"What? I can't satisfy you yet."

"You have a saying: 'If you push an inch, you push an inch.' You are pushing an inch, do you understand?"

Although James was also very angry, he was the person in charge after all.

He held Kaur and calmed himself down.

He asked Zhong Xiaokai, "President Zhong, please tell me what it will take for you to be satisfied?"

Hearing the other party ask this, Zhong Xiaokai knew that they were still reluctant to give up the Xiafang market.

They have played all their cards, and now it's their turn.

Zhong Xiaokai straightened up and said slowly:

"Mr. James, then I will state our demands directly."

"First, regarding the price, we require that your price be reduced by at least 70% from the previous level."

"Seventy percent?"

Hearing this number, Kaul on the side stood up excitedly.

"Are you kidding, President Zhong? Do you know what 70 percent means?"

James's expression also became extremely ugly.

However, he was not as excited as Kaul, but said to Kaul with a serious face:

"Mr. Kaul, please calm down and listen to what President Zhong has to say."

Then, he looked at Zhong Xiaokai and said:

"President Zhong, please tell me if you have any other requests."

Zhong Xiaokai deliberately paused for a moment before slowly speaking:

"The second requirement is to open up your agency rights. Exclusive agency is no longer allowed."

Relaxing agency rights and giving up exclusive agency means having multiple agents.

This will prevent one company from dominating the market and engaging in malicious monopoly.

This is not a loss for foreign pharmaceutical companies.

So James agreed after just a little thought.

"President Zhong, I can promise you this."

"Well, Mr. James."

Zhong Xiaokai smiled and said:

"Then there's only one last request left."

"We hope that you can provide our association with the patented technical information of the products on the list free of charge."

"We do this to deepen communication within our industry."

Hearing this, the other side almost exploded.

James, who had been trying his best to control his emotions, couldn't control himself at this moment.

"What? Mr. Zhong, I think you are mistaken?"

"Technical information is confidential. I'm afraid I can't provide it to you free of charge."

Kaul on the side immediately responded:

"You are being blatantly dishonest. Our patented technology is state-of-the-art. Why should we provide it to you for free?"

James also reacted a little and asked:

"Mr. Zhong, do you have no sincerity in negotiating at all?"

Zhong Xiaokai twisted his mouth into a nonchalant expression.

"Mr. James, you can't say that."

"How could we not be sincere? We are just asking you to share our technology patents."

"You've done a lot of research on our Chinese patent medicine formulas, haven't you?"

"If you really don't want to, then there's no point in discussing this."

Hearing this, James stood up angrily.

Not only does he have no say in handing over patented technical information, even the shareholders behind him will not allow it.

Technical patents are what they rely on to make money, how could they possibly hand them over?

They knew too well how strong the replication capabilities of Xiaguo enterprises were.

Even if they had to give up Xia Country's market, they would never agree to this condition.

"Mr. Zhong, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach any conclusion."

Several other people also stood up.

Zhong Xiaokai sat in his seat and said nonchalantly:

"Then please."
