891: Chapter 887: Trouble Cos From the Mouth!
Super Project!
“Xiao, what’s this…?”
Wang Cong’s smile instantly turned awkwardly sweet.
Wu Jie had just walked the dog away and hadn’t taken the gift with him, and Tang Xiao imdiately handed back the invitation.
What did that an?
What did it an to have the gifts and invitation you gave returned?
Had his words just now offended both Wu Jie and his wife?
“There’s no particular aning, just wishing your dad an early happy birthday!”
Tang Xiao smiled faintly and turned to leave.
Wang Cong panicked and hurriedly called out,
“Xiao, wait a mont!”
“I…
I was just joking earlier, Jie isn’t actually upset about that joke, right?”
Tang Xiao laughed, “How could he be?
He just went downstairs to walk the dog!”
Wang Cong said hesitantly, “Then this invitation and the gift…”
“There’s no need for the gift, I appreciate the thought.
As for the invitation…
we both are busy and can’t make it, so we just wanted to send our blessings to Wang in advance!”
After saying this, Tang Xiao stepped away and left.
Wang Cong stood stunned in place, taking several seconds to snap back to reality.
The birthday party was next month, and they were saying they couldn’t go so early…
It was as good as saying outright they didn’t want to attend.
Wang Cong humphed twice and collapsed onto the sofa.
He rested his head on one hand, deep in thought about what he could have said wrong.
It must have been the Detox Pill!
Blaming the drug middleman Sun Liang shouldn’t have made Wu Jie angry.
Since the Detox Pill is not a pharmaceutical, its sale, transportation, and consumption aren’t illegal, and Wu Jie was even seen laughing and talking with Sun Liang, so how could he be angry?
The only possibility then must be that his demand was way too high.
Billion!
Fifty thousand Detox Pills!
A wholesale price of twenty thousand per pill…
For the Detox Pill, regarded as a miracle drug, that price was ridiculously cheap, practically a giveaway.
Even though there was a continuous supply of Detox Pills, and up to this day, several million Detox Pills had circulated into society through various channels.
Yet, their demand had only increased, never decreased.
Those wanting to cure illnesses, detoxify their skin, or prolong their lives…
After all, there are over seven billion people in the world!
Therefore, at today’s noon auction, the Detox Pills were still bidding at two hundred and ten thousand.
Those experts who thought that a continued large-scale supply of Detox Pills would inevitably lead to a constant drop in price were left red-faced.
Thus,
Thinking of buying fifty thousand Detox Pills from Wu Jie with one billion was like literally ‘robbing’ him outright.
Could such a thing be considered a joke?
It was like asking soone who uses connections to sell his house for ten thousand, his car for a thousand, and his phone for a hundred…
If the person objects, you claim they can’t take a joke…
Anyone would think they’re insane!
Wu Jie and Tang Xiao didn’t curse on the spot; that was already showing considerable tolerance.
Sigh!
Wang Cong slapped his forehead, feeling utterly stupid.
Even if he was strapped for cash, he shouldn’t be making a joke out of this, should he?
Offering a hundred billion for fifty thousand Detox Pills from Wu Jie would be more like it!
So in this case…
Was it Wu Jie and his wife who were being narrow-minded, or was he just being too naive?
Did he need to think twice?
Was he obsessed with money?
What was most ridiculous was…
While expecting Wu Jie to sell him Detox Pills at an ultra-low price, he simultaneously bragged about how his group was flush with cash, able to cash out a few billion anyti by selling off so assets.
Damn it!
Not short on cash, yet wanting to ‘extort’?
Was he underestimating Wu Jie’s intelligence, or assuming their tight relationship would allow him to egregiously take advantage?
Sigh!
He sighed again, and Wang Cong couldn’t help but shake his head repeatedly.
“I’m really not cut out for big business deals, too blunt and thoughtless, and way too naive!”
Pocketing the invitation, he picked up the gift.
As he left, Wang Cong casually handed the gift to his assistant.
“The gift hasn’t been accepted; pass it along to your parents instead!
Consider it an early Mid-Autumn Festival greeting!”
“Thank you, Cong!
Thanks!”
The assistant was thrilled, this was an unexpected windfall!
But…
Wang Cong felt utterly dejected.
After going downstairs, not spotting Wu Jie walking the dog, he sighed quietly and got into his rcedes-Maybach.
After hesitating for a mont, he still made a call to his father.
Relaying the events honestly, naturally resulted in a strong scolding.
“Have you gone numb from playing gas?
How could you let such nonsense slip out, are you displaying the limit of your intelligence?”
“One billion for fifty thousand Detox Pills…
why not just kidnap them directly while you’re at it?”
“This is utterly ridiculous, if soone wanted to buy Wanda Plaza for a billion, what would you think?”
“You might show off your wealth and feel superior among ordinary people, but what are you doing in front of that couple?”
…
Wang Cong kept silent.
After a while, he finally responded in a low voice:
“Dad, I honestly didn’t an it, it just slipped out!”
“I thought I had a pretty good relationship with Xiao, and we’re all friends.
Jie didn’t even get mad at his old colleague acting as a drug interdiary!”
“So I thought, maybe I could wholesale so dicine myself and make a bit of money.”
Wang Jian scoffed coldly and said:
“Aren’t you a bit too full of yourself?
You want to wholesale Detox Pills, fine, but your offer is hardly sincere, is it?
Why not ask them to give you a few billion for free!”
“Now look what you’ve done, you’ve alienated them, they don’t want your gift, won’t accept your invitation, how am I supposed to negotiate financing and cooperation with President Tang?
How do we resolve our financial difficulties?”
“Do you know how tough the real estate business is right now?
‘Survive’ is the new motto of Wan Ke Real Estate, do you get what that implies?
Hard to sell properties, hefty debts, this market trend will surely do away with a bunch of real estate developers!”
