Chapter 316
Chapter 316 - He Had a Plan
“Don't be like that.” Zhang Xiaolong waved his hand, “We are of similar age, and we are of the same generation. If not, it would be uncomfortable for everyone.”
“Okay, okay, then I'll call you Mr. Xiaolong.” Jiaang Mei quickly smiled, but after a pause, she hesitated and said, “But in front of my dad, I don't dare to call him that, or else he will definitely yell at me.”
“That's true. Then let's be brothers in private. In front of the older generation, we should be more restrained. Otherwise, we will be nagged again.” Jiaang Yu also said so.
Zhang Xiaolong understood that in a place where inheritance was important, seniority was also important. Compared to the village, where seniority was not valued, it was even more important. Especially for the older generation, they would follow their words.
After taking a glance at the contract list, he saw that there were quite a number of equipment names listed on it.
“What is this thing?”
Actually, he was not too proficient in this area, but Zhang Xiaolong felt that this equipment was a little strange. He felt that if there was something fishy about this, it was most likely related to this.
“Intelligent acupuncture device?” Jiaang Yu looked at it and was puzzled.
He had never seen anything real, so he did not know much about this thing.
“Yes, I heard that it's a set of equipment developed by A Country that can recognize the acupuncture points of the human body and complete the acupuncture process automatically. It's very high-end, but it's not that expensive. So, I added some of it here, but I didn't care about it.” Jiaang Mei asked curiously, “Is there a problem with this?”
Zhang Xiaolong nodded, “If I'm not wrong, this time they are looking for you to do business. It is a trap. Their goal is to borrow your company's reputation. More specifically, they want to use Jiaang Qin's reputation to promote their intelligent acupuncture machine.”
“But if this thing is really that good, why can't we promote it?” Jiaang Mei was even more confused, “It can allow ordinary people to perform acupuncture, lowering the threshold of acupuncture, and it can also help us earn money. Isn't this a good thing?”
“I don't really understand business matters, but there must be something wrong with this matter. Otherwise, they wouldn't offer such a low price.” Zhang Xiaolong thought that what Jiaang Yu said was right. There must be something wrong with this matter. Now, he was even more clear about the source of the problem. “Someone in A Country is using the name of communication to challenge the C Country Traditional Chinese Medicine. Because of this, your brother was almost kidnapped, and now, someone is coincidentally using this opportunity to sell the intelligent acupuncture machine at such a high price. Don't you think it's strange?”
Jiaang Yu and his sister nodded their heads. Although the two siblings were not old, they had more experience in business than Zhang Xiaolong.
If one thing was taken out alone, there would indeed be no problems. But if something was coincidentally mixed together, then there must be something wrong.
“Forget it, I already said that they are not so kind-hearted to give us such a huge profit. There is a big conspiracy behind this.” Jiaang Yu thought for a moment and threw the contract into the trash can, “Although we siblings are doing business, we are also considered to be a family of traditional Chinese medicine. This matter is a small business trap. If we take it to the bigger picture, it might be related to the development of C Country Traditional Chinese Medicine. If we really do something wrong, Dad will definitely strangle us with silver needles. I don't want to take this money!”
Zhang Xiaolong's eyes were filled with praise. Initially, he was a little disappointed when he heard that Jiaang Yu was Jiaang Qin's son. He thought that this guy would be unable to move after seeing a woman, no different from a playboy. But now, he felt that being able to resist such a great temptation and giving up such a huge profit without any certainty was indeed a good thing.
As for the beauty, even a man would like her. If it wasn't for that fake air stewardess being so proactive, he believed that Jiaang Yu would not have done anything out of line. One side had the intention to seduce her, while the other side was mesmerized. It was inevitable for a normal man to fall for her.
“What a pity, what a pity that I spent so much effort and this business failed. Dad will definitely force me to go to work.” Jiaang Mei pounded her chest and stomped her feet, as if she had suffered a great calamity.
“Don't you go to school? Looking at you, you don't even look like you are eighteen years old, do you?” Zhang Xiaolong asked curiously.
Jiaang Yu thought that this little girl was just playing around and came to Jiaang Yu's company to help. Who would have thought that she was serious?
“My sister doesn't like to go to school since she was young, but my dad allows her to. In his words, learning useful things is knowledge, and the rest is bullshit,” Jiaang Yu said with a smile, “Don't look at how young she is. She is very good at acupuncture, and her medical knowledge is far better than mine, who graduated from a medical college. So my dad hopes that she can help in the clinic instead of playing around in my company.”
“Impressive!” Zhang Xiaolong had a new understanding of Jiaang Mei. After being exposed to the world of medicine since she was a child, she was more knowledgeable in this field than she was in the university.
“Mei, why don't you go to the clinic and work? With your medical skills, you can indeed help.” Jiaang Yu advised.
Jiaang Mei was not very willing to accept the offer. “I didn't say I won't go, but I really want to prove to you that other than medical skills, I am better than you in business.”
“I will go.” Jiaang Yu did not expect her to give such an answer, and his face distorted. “You look better than me, and your medical skills are better than mine. If you are also good at business, can you even let me, your brother, live? Can't you at least give me a way out?”
“Hehe …” Jiaang Mei giggled, “Alright, seeing that you are sincerely begging me, I will not fight with you over business.”
Zhang Xiaolong felt that the two siblings were quite funny. Although they looked like they were fighting for victory, they were actually very harmonious.
Suddenly, a thought flashed across his mind, and he thought of something fun. “Mei doesn't do business, but this matter might not end just like that. Other people have given me such a good opportunity to earn money. It would be a pity if I don't take it.”
“Oh? Do you have a good idea?” Jiaang Yu also knew that the reason why the business had been pushed to such a low price was because of Jiaang Mei's playfulness. Otherwise, he would not have been able to discover such a big flaw.
“It's simple. Since these medical devices do not have any problems with quality, it must be due to the use. If we remove the parts that we can use…” Zhang Xiaolong smiled.
Jiaang Yu was a business expert, and his eyes lit up the moment he heard Zhang Xiaolong's words. However, he shook his head and said, “I'm afraid it's not that easy. Since the other party has the intention to design it, how could they be so easily deceived by us?”
“That may not be the case.” Zhang Xiaolong chuckled, “The thirty-six stratagems were invented by our ancestors. Even the West Military Academy treated it as a teaching material. This time, we will make use of the stratagems and make them pay only for it.”
