Chapter 37: The Large Order

"What? An order worth over a hundred million?"
Upon hearing Ma Jiaojiao's words, everyone was shaken to their core.
After the recent drug poisoning incident, most had lost faith in the pharmaceutical factory's future.
Yet Dongjia Group was now placing a massive order worth over a hundred million—this was nothing short of breathing life back into the dying factory!
Wu Tao and several other executives looked at Ma Jiaojiao, unable to believe it was true.
Just moments ago, they had used business leverage to threaten Li Anan.
If this deal was real, Li Anan would be even more unrestrained.
Li Anan stood up abruptly, looking at Mo Han with excitement and astonishment in her eyes.
Previously, Mo Han had mentioned that someone might place an order within a few days. She had doubted it.
Unexpectedly, such a huge order had arrived today.
This was truly a lifeline.
Just as Li Anan was about to go out and receive the representatives from Dongjia Group, Mo Han said, "Tell them we're in a meeting. Let them wait a while."
The managers were immediately dissatisfied, their faces full of displeasure as they looked at Mo Han.
The company was in a difficult period, and yet he was putting on airs with Dongjia Group. If they took offense and canceled the order, there would be nowhere to cry.
Without business, the company couldn't even pay salaries—who would stay then?
Ma Jiaojiao was also somewhat unhappy and said, "Director Li, the Dongjia Group representatives said they're very busy and want you to respond as soon as possible."
"The price for Rejuvenation Pill hasn't been set yet. How can we negotiate?
Besides, we are the sole producers of Rejuvenation Pill. There are plenty of buyers lining up.
Since Dongjia Group specifically requested to pre-order Rejuvenation Pill, it means they've already received the relevant data from the specialists at People's Hospital.
So even if they have to wait a few days, they'll be willing."
Mo Han spoke calmly.

Li Anan understood and nodded, "That's right, Jiaojiao, go tell them to wait a bit. I'll meet them after the meeting."
"Alright." Ma Jiaojiao nodded and left.
Mo Han's words made her realize it wasn't the right time to meet Dongjia Group.
After all, with the price undecided, how could negotiations proceed?
"Will you leave on your own, or do I need to escort you out?" After Ma Jiaojiao left, Mo Han looked at Wu Tao and the others.
He could have called the police to have them detained.
But to him, Wu Tao and his group were nothing more than ants—not worth wasting his time on.
"Hmph. You got lucky today, but we'll see about tomorrow."
Wu Tao's face twisted as he threatened, "If you dare oppose Qin Haoran, I doubt you'll be arrogant for much longer!"
With that, he turned and walked out.
"Take this useless thing with you," Mo Han said, pointing to Yu Bing who had fainted.
Wu Tao and his group had no choice but to help Yu Bing out.
Hearing Wu Tao's words, the remaining managers realized he and his group were indeed in cahoots with Qin Haoran.
They no longer felt resistant to Mo Han and Li Anan's decisions.
"You all heard it. I never slandered them," Li Anan said.
"Director Li is wise. Wu Tao and his group are truly mad!"
"Indeed. They're senior managers—Wu Tao is even the general manager—and yet they tried to sell out the company. Who would ever hire them again?"
"Director Li, I say we should call the police and have Wu Tao and the others punished as they deserve."
"Yes, parasites like them belong in prison. That's the best outcome for them!"
Everyone began discussing, verbally lashing Wu Tao and his group.
They weren't foolish—the company had just dismissed four or five senior managers, leaving those positions vacant. Everyone present now had a chance to rise.

At this moment, siding with Li Anan was undoubtedly the smart choice.
"Everyone, I'll now announce the new appointments..."
Li Anan immediately promoted deputy heads of several departments to full positions, but set a probation period. If their performance failed during this time, they'd be dismissed.
Of course, the general manager's position was taken by Li Anan herself.
She had intended for Mo Han to take it, but he declined and agreed only to manage the security department.
In the end, Li Anan had no choice but to appoint Mo Han as head of security.
Next came the pricing discussion for Rejuvenation Pill.
Mo Han first outlined the pill's various effects, and then the managers discussed together.
After half an hour of analysis and budgeting, Rejuvenation Pill was positioned as a high-end supplement, priced at one hundred yuan per pill.
Usually, taking five to ten pills would fully activate a person's physical potential, making them healthier and stronger.
With a factory price of one hundred, the market price would be about one hundred and fifty.
But for a pill of such miraculous effect in modern society, even one hundred and fifty per pill wasn't expensive.
The reason for such a low price had three points.
First, while Rejuvenation Pill was potent, its formula used only common herbs.
Second, Mo Han had considered ordinary people.
He hoped that regular folks could afford Rejuvenation Pill, and that it could help improve the health of the entire population.
Third, the cost of producing Rejuvenation Pill was actually very low, especially with assembly line manufacturing.
Once the price was set, Li Anan went to meet the representatives from Dongjia Group.
The managers went to share the good news with their department staff.
