The younger sister mistakenly identified her brother when visiting relatives and was kissed by the c

He was slightly overweight, with a round face and a neat crew cut, looking very energetic and down-to-earth.

"Hello, Director Sun, I'm Qiao Xinxin." Qiao Xinxin stood at the door and greeted him politely.

"Oh, it must be Comrade Xiao Qiao! Please come in, please have a seat!"

Sun Changming looked up and saw a sweet-looking girl with a soft voice. His smile immediately became more genuine. He quickly invited Qiao Xinxin to sit down on the single sofa next to him and even poured her a cup of hot water in an enamel mug.

Qiao Xinxin took the hot water and held it in her hands. Without beating around the bush, she took out the small glass bottle from her pocket and gently placed it on the coffee table between the two of them.

"Director Sun, this is the hemostatic powder sample I mentioned to you on the phone yesterday. My brother used up a lot of it before, and now we only have this little bit left. Please take a look."

Sun Changming's gaze was instantly drawn to the small bottle.

He stretched out his rough, calloused hands, carefully picked up the glass bottle, unscrewed the plastic cap, brought it to his nose, closed his eyes, and smelled it.

In an instant, a cool, slightly bitter scent, yet carrying an indescribable herbal fragrance, rushed straight to the top of his head. The smell was very peculiar, unlike any Chinese herbal medicine he had ever seen before.

Sun Changming's expression immediately turned serious. He tilted the bottle slightly, poured a tiny bit of dark brown powder onto his left index finger, and then gently rubbed it between his thumb and forefinger.

"Hmm... this powder is ground extremely finely, with almost no grainy texture. And the aroma is so pure, without a single impurity."

Sun Changming looked up at Qiao Xinxin, a hint of undisguised admiration flashing in his eyes:

"Comrade Qiao, to be honest, I've been in the pharmaceutical business for over ten years. I can tell the difference between good and bad medicine just by smelling it and touching it. This powder of yours, just by its color and smell, is definitely a good product! My cousin said it stops bleeding incredibly fast when used externally, and it seems he wasn't exaggerating at all."

Hearing Sun Changming's confirmation, Qiao Xinxin's anxiety finally subsided. She smiled sweetly, leaned forward slightly, and whispered:

"Well then, Director Sun, let me tell you about the specifics of this powder."

"Okay, go ahead, I'm listening." Sun Changming put down the bottle and looked at her seriously.

Qiao Xinxin spoke clearly and logically:

"The main ingredients of my medicinal powder are several rare herbal plants. Because these herbs have very demanding requirements for their growing environment, they are almost never seen on the market, and their production is quite limited. However, I have already started to expand their cultivation scale myself. Once this new batch of herbs matures and is harvested, I can absolutely guarantee a stable and continuous supply of raw materials to the factory. Moreover, I will provide the core formula and raw materials, and I can also provide full guidance on the production process, ensuring that the efficacy of the medicine will not be compromised."

Sun Changming nodded repeatedly as he listened, looking at Qiao Xinxin as if she were a shining God of Wealth.

Sun Changming didn't interrupt her and listened attentively the whole time. After Qiao Xinxin finished speaking, he lowered his head and carefully looked through the simple recipe instructions written in pen in his hand.

He hesitated for a moment, gently tapped the papers on the table, aligned them, and then looked up, speaking earnestly:

"Comrade Xiao Qiao, I absolutely trust the effectiveness of your medicine powder. I know my cousin's temper; he wouldn't be recommending it to me so eagerly unless he'd truly witnessed a miracle. Our factory's qualifications are also readily available; helping you with registration and contract manufacturing is no problem at all. However, even close brothers should keep clear accounts. I need to lay some groundwork beforehand so we can avoid conflicts in future cooperation."

Qiao Xinxin obediently picked up her teacup, took a sip of water, and smiled, "Director Sun, please speak, I'm listening."

Sun Changming cleared his throat and held up a few fingers:

"First, there's the manufacturing fee. Our factory's operating costs, worker costs, and machine depreciation—these are all real costs. I won't charge you much; I'll charge you five cents per bottle of powder. Second, there's the profit sharing. Once the powder is produced and enters the hospital's purchasing channels, we'll split the net profit based on a percentage. You provide the technology and core raw materials, which is the bulk of the profit, so you get 60%; our factory is responsible for the qualifications, production, packaging, and sales channels, so we get 40%. Does this ratio work for you?"

Qiao Xinxin's long eyelashes trembled, and she lowered her head, quickly calculating in her mind.

A five-cent processing fee per bottle is incredibly fair given today's price levels. As for the 40/60 profit split, she doesn't need to set up a factory, provide labor, or even worry about the complicated registration procedures; she can steadily take 60% of the profits—it's practically a windfall. Sun Changming is indeed an honest person; she didn't try to lower the price just because she's a young woman.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xinxin raised her head, a bright smile spreading across her sweet little face:

"Director Sun, the price you offered is very fair. Let's proceed with this plan for now! I'll be responsible for preparing the core raw materials, and you'll handle the registration and production. Once the first batch of powder is produced, if any hospital is willing to purchase it, the profits will be split according to the ratio you mentioned."

"happy!"

Sun Changming slapped his thigh and burst into laughter. He liked dealing with people who were straightforward and decisive.

He opened the drawer of his desk, pulled out a blank cooperation agreement with red checkered lines, took a pen, quickly filled in more than a dozen lines, and then pushed the paper and pen in front of Qiao Xinxin:

"Come on, Comrade Xiao Qiao, take a look. I've written down all the conditions I just mentioned. Take a close look and see if there's anything that needs to be added or modified. Let's bring it up now."

Qiao Xinxin took the somewhat rough letter with both hands and read every word carefully from beginning to end.

The terms and conditions were clearly written, with neat handwriting, without any ambiguity or bias towards the pharmaceutical company.

After reading it, Qiao Xinxin breathed a sigh of relief, unscrewed the pen cap, and carefully signed her name, Qiao Xinxin, in the lower right corner.

Her handwriting was neat and elegant, with a delicate beauty unique to girls.

Sun Changming smiled and accepted it, signing his name and affixing the official seal of Chengxi Pharmaceutical Factory. Two copies were made, and the two kept them separately.
