"Why are you selling this medicine?"
"Do you have a pharmacy?"
"You don't get much, so you don't get much discount. You might as well get it from me. I can give you a good discount..."
I don't know if it was because the idea of wholesale medicines to William was not realized, or because he didn't like William, a black man. All in all, the pharmacy owner was very reluctant, and he didn't want to contact the manufacturer of Yangming Pills. Way to William.
As he spoke, William became angry. Although nothing could be seen on his face, he looked at the pharmacy owner quietly, and his expression said everything.
"Okay, ok, job, let me tell you, this is it, you take this to call and ask them for their address!"
The pharmacy owner finally realized that something was wrong and could only give a phone number.
After William took it, he said "thank you" and turned to leave.
The owner of the pharmacy looked at William's back, and let go of the handle of the pistol with one hand under the table. He couldn't help muttering and cursing: "Damn nigger, it's really strange that you want to sell our Xia Guo medicine." of."
William couldn't hear the pharmacy owner's words. After he left the pharmacy, he walked away quickly, then took out his phone in a corner, and immediately called that phone number.
After a while, the call was connected.
William asked if the manufacturer of Yangming Pill was on the other end of the line, and only after confirming that did he explain the purpose of his call.
The other party seemed a little surprised after William finished speaking, and said: "Sir, at present, our Yangming Pills are only sold in pharmacies. Your situation is a bit different. We really have no way to change it for you alone. company strategy."
Hearing such words, William couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and quickly said: "I really think your medicine is very good, I like your medicine very much, so I want to wholesale a batch of your medicine and try to sell it in our community , um, I think your drug has a huge market in our black community and has a bright future, so it should be worth your while.”
The other party pondered for a while and said, "How about this, sir, why don't you come to our company and we can meet and talk, is that okay?"
William thought for a while and asked, "Now?"
"Yes, now too."
"Can you tell me your address?"
"Okay, we're in Sunnyvale..."
…
After more than an hour.
According to the address given by the previous person, William came to the headquarters of the manufacturer of Yangmeiwan.
The name of this company is "M-city" and it is a newly established company.
There are not many people in the company, only a few people, almost all of them are descendants of Xia.
After William arrived, he was warmly welcomed into the meeting room, and then three descendants of Xia came to meet him. They were the three principals of the M-city company.
Their attitude was very good. After asking about William's situation, they directly asked a very realistic question, wanting to know how much William was planning to spend on wholesale of their Yangming Pills.
William was embarrassed when he heard the question.
He didn't have any money in his pocket at all, and he probably didn't even have enough for lunch. He had already emptied his pockets of steel coins when he arrived by car.
Seeing William's reaction, the three persons in charge of M-city knew a little bit, and couldn't help but glance at each other.
After a short period of embarrassment, William quickly reiterated his optimism about the prospects of Yangming Pills: "Gentlemen, I really think the medicine produced by your company is very good. My grandma is your user. In a By chance, I took your medicine and got a very miraculous effect.
I think if you can tell more people about the miraculous effects of your medicine, so that more people can benefit from taking your medicine, I think it will be a very cool and cool thing.
I really want to wholesale a batch of your medicine and sell it in our community.
I will be able to sell your medicine, I know our community, I know what our community needs, those old people are suffering from illness, if they can take your medicine, their life will be better than before, I hope help them…”
William worked hard to express his thoughts. He had no money, but he had enthusiasm. He felt that as long as he could bring back a batch of medicine, he would definitely be able to create miracles.
The three persons in charge stared quietly, and after listening to it, they told William that we need some time to discuss it, and then they started chatting in Xia Guo dialect.
William couldn't understand what the three responsible persons were saying, but he could see that the other party had a dispute, and it was quite intense.
After a while—
The three persons in charge seem to have reached a consensus, and one of them said: "Okay, Mr. William, your sincerity has impressed us, we can try to flexibly adjust our sales strategy..."
Half an hour later, William walked out of the M-city company's office carrying twenty boxes of Yangming Pills.
"Thank you, Mr. Zheng, thank you, I will definitely sell these medicines as soon as possible."
William was very excited to express his gratitude to the people of M-city company.
At this moment, he really felt that Xia Guo people were very nice, and he couldn't help but feel guilty for robbing that Xia Guo old man before.
Because the people from the M-city company not only agreed to wholesale the medicines to him, but the price was only a little higher than those pharmacies, and at the same time, he didn't need to pay for the twenty boxes of medicines, so he let him sell them first.
This is equivalent to giving him the medicine directly, and after selling the medicine and making money, he will come back to pay the bill.
This approach is simply the most perfect for William. He is penniless. If he really wants to take out a sum of money, he may only have to go to those usury loans.
Now that he doesn't have to worry about the pressure of usury, he can get the goods and start the business, which makes him full of goodwill and gratitude for this M-city company.
Carrying the medicine, William quickly returned home.
Ignoring grandma's suspicious gaze, William put the medicine back in his room, then walked out the door with two boxes in hand.
He went directly to the family he was most familiar with in the apartment building, and was going to recommend things to his acquaintances first. He thought it would be easier because they were acquaintances after all.
"Hey nigga, long time no see, how are you doing?"
The person who opened the door for him was a tall and thin black man who was about his age, and he bumped fists, palms, chests and backs with style from the moment he came.
This black man is Doug, also known as Flower Dog, who is William's best friend since childhood.
It's just that William had no parents since he was a child. In order to support his grandmother, he entered a factory before graduating from high school, while Duge wandered around the streets and became a gangster. The contact between the two gradually decreased.
Today, William took the medicine and the first person who came to find him was Duge. That was because Duge’s mother also had joint problems, which was very similar to William’s grandmother, except that Duge’s mother was slightly better and did not need a wheelchair at all. Can barely walk with a walker.
"My brother, how are you doing recently? I heard that you have done a few big things recently, and your reputation has spread far and wide!"
William knew what to talk about. He used to be quite envious of Doug who was on the street, but he didn't join the gang with Doug because of his grandma.
Sure enough, Duge couldn't help laughing when he heard William's words, showing the shiny gold tooth on his front teeth: "So you've heard of it too? Hehe, those night cats are so arrogant. Let them know how powerful we are, and they will be honest."
"That's right, this can only be our 'Nineteenth Avenue' site."
William entered the door, and casually put the life-saving pills he was carrying on the table.
Seeing the two boxes of Yangming Pills, Duge asked curiously, "My brother, what are these?"
William was waiting for this, and quickly said: "This is a kind of Xia Guo medicine that I am selling. It has a very powerful effect on treating rheumatism. My grandma stood up from the wheelchair after taking it for a week. Now I have started to practice walking."
"Are you serious? Your grandma can still get out of her wheelchair?"
Duge played with William since he was a child, knew about Grandma William's situation, and couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard William's words.
But his mind changed quickly, and he said in a rapping tone: "My brother, you are not bragging, if you need money, just tell me directly, and I will find a way. It may be something under witchcraft, I can't believe it."
William has long been used to Dug's way of speaking, this is the way of hanging out on the streets, and it always gives people a "who gives a shit" awesome feeling.
William didn't speak, just dropped a box of medicine, and said to Doug: "My brother, I have kept the medicine, you give it to Aunt Mary, and we will see the result in a week."
After finishing speaking, he shook hands with Dugla, turned around and carried another box of medicine, and walked out the door.
Duge glanced at William's back, picked up the box of medicine and looked at it, and couldn't help muttering: "Madfake, this damn Xia Guoyao, doesn't it really have witchcraft?"
William took black steps, let the baggy trousers wander between falling and not falling, and walked to the next house.
There was also an old man in this family who suffered from the same pain as his grandmother, with a broken hip bone and poor mobility.
Although William didn't know whether Yangming Pill would work for such a disease, but William was also very familiar with this family, so let's try it for now.
Soon, he "delivered" the two boxes of medicines he brought from home.
This is the way of communication between their black acquaintances, give things first, as long as it is effective, there will be money later.
As for not being an acquaintance, it can only be sold by word of mouth.
For several days, William roamed the apartment, looking for suitable families and selling his Yangmei Pills.
After all, Yangming Pill is Xia Guo medicine, and it is not well accepted by black people. Many people look at what William is promoting, and they have a mentality of reading a joke.
In just one week, William got the title of "medical liar", which made William quite helpless.
This week, William only sold two boxes of Yangming Pills, and the two people who bought Yangming Pills were still friends with him. Knowing that he was unemployed, it was a little support.
William decided to start getting out of the apartment next week to sell the life pills to more people.
Although the sales performance is not as good as he expected, he is still full of confidence. After all, he is very clear about the efficacy of Yangming Pill.
He saw his grandma with his own eyes, and now she doesn't need to support things to stand up. Although she still needs to support things when walking, the whole feeling is very different. At least going to the toilet is no longer a kind of torture for the elderly. What about taking a bath? He is also able to take care of himself very well, which makes the old man's face slowly recover and regain his confidence in life.
William is very happy about his grandma's situation, and at the same time, he is very confident that the sales of Yangmei Pills will be boosted.
On the first day of the new week, William tidied himself up, put on his decent clothes, and opened the door to leave.
He was carrying a backpack with five or six boxes of Yangmei Pills in it. He was going to go out of the apartment and go to several nearby streets to sell Yangmei Pills door to door.
Just as he was walking to the elevator, he waited for a while, but before the elevator came, he saw the door of the corridor opened, and Doug, dressed in a very hip-hop outfit, came out from the inside.
"Yo nigga, you gonna get out?"
Doug came over directly and gestured with William.
The two clashed fists, palms, chests and backs again. Duge said, "Brother, I'm here to look for you. Do you still have your medicine?"
"Um?"
William was taken aback for a moment: "Brother, what's wrong?"
Du Ge said: "My mother took your medicine and it really helped. Now she can walk by herself. Although she can't walk fast, brother, she said that she hopes to buy some more medicine from you."
"Is this true? Brother, can Aunt Mary really go?"
"Yes, brother, your medicine works. Thank you, brother!"
Doug took William's hand again, and there was a chest bump.
William smiled, and immediately took out a box of Yangming Pills from his bag and handed it over: "Here, brother, come and get it from me if you need it."
Duge took the medicine, thought for a while, and said, "I owe you, brother, do you need me to do anything?"
Duge didn't talk about money, but William didn't care. William nodded bluntly and said with a smile, "Brother, help me spread the word. My medicine is very useful. Make sure everyone knows it. Come sell medicine here."
"no problem!"
Duge nodded, shook hands with William, turned around and left quickly with the medicine.
William couldn't help smiling, and clenched his fists.
He took the elevator downstairs, and as soon as he walked out of the apartment door, he heard the phone ring. It was his grandma's phone. As soon as he connected, he heard grandma say on the phone that another family he had delivered the medicine to inquired about the medicine. up.
"He said that Sandy didn't need to take painkillers for the past two days, and he slept very well. He said that your medicine was very useful and made him feel better..."
"He wants to buy your medicine and asks when you'll be back..."
"Why don't you come back, after all, your Uncle Sandy has helped us a lot..."
