Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence-Chapter 326 - 166: The Role of the Friendship Boat and the Plan to Make Friends
"Everyone worked hard."
Jiang Tao smiled and greeted a few people before heading straight to the temporary office with the door open.
"President Jiang, you’ve arrived."
"Sorry for keeping Director An waiting."
"No, no, I just got here less than three minutes ago."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Jiang Tao and An Menglin began discussing the four genetically mutated blueberry trees.
"Mr. Jiang, the four genetically mutated blueberry trees owned by your company are indeed quite special. Our institute’s leaders are also very interested, but regarding the price..."
"Is there still room for negotiation?"
An Menglin looked at Jiang Tao, hoping to negotiate on the price further.
After all, ordinary blueberry plants are only a few bucks each.
Now Jiang Tao’s asking price is 200,000 per plant.
The price difference is thousands of times!
Even though the Agricultural Research Institute has decent funding, spending 700,000 to 800,000 for four blueberry plants would require a great deal of commitment.
"Director An, the price we’ve given you is indeed the lowest."
"If this variety of blueberry can be promoted widely, its economic value cannot be simply measured by money."
Jiang Tao trusted Brother Tongzi’s appraisal and was firm on the price.
He’s not currently short of 700,000 to 800,000.
Even if the negotiations with the Agricultural Research Institute fail, he could always talk to other institutions and wait for the right offer.
Seeing Jiang Tao’s determined attitude, An Menglin gave up the idea of bargaining.
Actually, her funding had already been approved; she was just trying to test Jiang Tao.
Since the price couldn’t be negotiated, she’d have to buy at the current price.
An Menglin looked at Jiang Tao and said, "Let’s go with President Jiang’s price then. You draft the contract; I need to take it back for procedures."
"Alright, Director An, just a moment."
Jiang Tao nodded with a smile and turned to look at Jiang Bing, who was processing orders on the computer:
"Vice President Jiang, please prepare the transaction contract for these four blueberry plants."
In front of outsiders, Jiang Tao still showed Third Brother respect by using her title.
"Okay, President Jiang."
Jiang Bing had been listening to their conversation attentively, and upon hearing that the deal was struck, she was secretly delighted.
Four blueberry plants sold at a high price of 800,000!
Simply unbelievable!
Second Brother’s eyes were like Fire Eyes Golden Gaze!
To pick out four such valuable pots from 10,000 pots!
Amazing!
In less than five minutes, Jiang Bing drafted a simplified version of the transaction contract.
She majored in accounting in college, so besides managing accounts, she could draft contracts as well.
The printed contract came in two copies.
Jiang Tao and An Menglin were the respective parties A and B.
The two signed in the designated places, stamped where necessary, and used their fingerprints where needed.
The entity involved was the shell company Jiang Bing established to open an online shop.
Each of the four genetically mutated blueberry plants was priced at 200,000.
The total value amounted to 800,000.
However...
An Menglin’s government unit didn’t pay as promptly as individuals.
The payment of 800,000 would be made in installments, taking four months to complete.
Even though it was a bit cumbersome, Jiang Tao agreed readily.
He didn’t have any urgent financial needs at the moment, so four months was fine!
With that, this business deal was completed.
After discussing the formalities, An Menglin didn’t linger any longer.
She bid farewell to Jiang Tao and left, taking the four pots of genetically mutated blueberry plants with her.
"Second Brother! Such expensive blueberry trees, and someone actually bought them!"
Watching An Menglin drive away, Jiang Bing finally showed her excited expression!
She had been excited and happy with An Menglin there but pretended to be nonchalant.
After all, if they saw her overly ecstatic expression, they might think they were being ripped off.
Jiang Tao said, "Just kidding, she’s actually my planted decoy."
"Do you think I’m stupid? I know you never mentioned sharing the profits—I know your little tricks!"
Jiang Bing moved forward and punched Jiang Tao in the arm, accompanied by a huge exaggerated eye roll.
"Ouch! Heavy Hammer Sister, take it easy!"
"How dare you call me Heavy Hammer! Watch this hammer!!"
"..."
The mischievous sibling duo laughed and goofed around before quickly snapping back to their normal selves as they returned to the greenhouse.
Now, the sales of the blueberry pots were in the final sprint stage.
The blueberry pots stored in the greenhouse were disappearing rapidly, visibly reducing daily.
In return, Jiang Bing’s distributor account balance was growing.
This blueberry pot project, which cost 800,000 in investment, was expected to bring Jiang Tao a net profit of approximately 1 million to 1.2 million.
Jiang Bing, as a partner, could earn nearly 300,000 in profit share.
The sibling duo’s collaboration was once again a win-win situation.
Back in the greenhouse, Jiang Bing resumed processing the incoming orders on the merchant backend.
Jiang Tao sat on a chair nearby, scrolling through his phone, glancing over his WeChat contacts.
"Close Friend..."
"How to enhance friendships, and develop more close friends?"
After reaching close friend status with Du Enan last night, he received a massive reward of 999,999.
Moreover, the usage instructions for the [Friendship Boat] clearly reminded him to make more friends in the future.
After all, collecting 10 [Friendship Boats] is necessary to exchange for a real luxury yacht.
Ring—
Just as Jiang Tao was pondering how to make friends, his phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the name "Zhang Chao" displayed as the caller ID.
Jiang Tao’s lips curled into a smile.
Having spent some time together, Jiang Tao and Zhang Chao’s relationship had become much closer.
