After the chemical analysis, it was confirmed that there was no problem with the quality of the essential oils. Hill began to negotiate the final price with them.
The Siguaraya company was very formal and had a set of standards for pricing.
Hill took the price book and checked according to the requirements. Finally, he gave the price. "Every ten milliliters is 258 dollars. You have a total of 4,855 milliliters of rose essential oil, so the total price is 125259 dollars. Any questions?"
Hans looked at Li Du. Li Du nodded. "You decide."
Hans was not satisfied with the price. He said, "We only listened to your price, buddy. I just checked. High-quality rose essential oil is now worth more than 500 dollars per ten milliliters."
Although Morocco was politically stable, the situation in Bulgaria and Turkey was very complicated. Hence, the rose essential oil market had been turbulent this year, and the price had soared.
Li Du felt that rose essential oil was more expensive than liquid gold. At 50 to 60 dollars per milliliter, he wondered how powerful it was to be sold at such a high price.
There were many things that ordinary people could not imagine. Rose essential oil had never been sold to ordinary people. It would not even appear in the counters of ordinary shopping malls. It was reserved for VIPs.
For celebrities and financial tycoons who needed to reduce stress, beautify, and protect their skin, this price was no problem.
Hill explained, "I understand what you're saying, but the information you found is from the terminal. It's the final selling price, not our purchase price."
Hans said, "I understand, but the difference is too big. These essential oils don't need to be purified. They can be used directly."
Hill shook his head and laughed. "You're thinking too simply, buddy. We're a second-tier supplier. The price of these essential oils will be audited by the big companies. We don't have the final say."
At this point, Li Du had to interrupt, "They will audit, but they will audit the quality. Since the production line has been handed over to you, they obviously trust you."
Hearing this, Hill was shocked and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Li Du smiled and said, "Raise the price a little, buddy. Let us both make money."
Hill frowned and asked, "What do you know?"
Li Du said, "I don't know anything. I'm just saying that the best way to cooperate is a win-win situation, right?"
Hill knocked on the table with his finger and said, "Raise the price by 10 dollars per milliliter. This is the biggest compromise I can make."
Li Du said, "Let's make it a round number."
Hill thought about it for a while, then reached out his hand and said, "Sure, we can work together smoothly."
Hans and Li Du looked at each other, then laughed and shook hands with him. "Our cooperation went smoothly." "Thank you, thank you for being willing to bid."
4855 milliliters of rose essential oil was sold for 131085. The cost was almost negligible. It was a good deal.
Li Du and Hans left Los Angeles with more than a hundred thousand dollars after signing the contract and receiving the money.
On the way back, Hans said while drinking juice, "When did money become so easy to earn?"
Li Du said, "From the time you believed in God."
With a serious expression, Hans drew a cross on his chest and said, "God bless me, bless me to make more money, hallelujah!"
Every time there was a big harvest, Li Du would give Big Quinn and Godzilla a bonus.
Before they parted ways this time, he gave each of them a thousand yuan.
After the two of them left, Hans said, "That's not a good way to lead a team. You're too generous, buddy."
Li Du gave him a sidelong glance and said, "Who am I the most generous to?"
Hans touched the butcher bayonet on his waist and said weakly, "You're too generous to me."
Li Du said, "Godzilla and Big Quinn are our good assistants in this business. They're not simple movers, you understand?"
Hans nodded. That was true. The two of them could save them a lot of trouble.
Of course, Big Quinn's appearance and Godzilla's past would also cause more trouble for the two of them.
Li Du said, "I used the strategy of paying them a high salary. They don't owe us anything, and we don't have any super strong personal charm. So to make them follow us wholeheartedly, we have to pay them a high salary."
Once the two of them got used to the high salary, they would not leave the team in the future.
To Li Du, this was just a small amount of money. Using a small amount of money to win over two confidants was a business worth investing in.
Besides money, they also brought back a whole truck of old goods from Los Angeles.
As it was getting late, they parked the truck and went home or back to the campsite to rest. The next day, they unpacked the truck.
Most of the things in the truck were bottles and jars used to extract essence. Big Quinn carefully moved them down, and Godzilla sprayed them with well water.
Hans squatted by the side and looked at the containers. He said, "Li, should we change our line of work to extract essence? I feel that extracting rose essential oil is more profitable than auctioning storage units. "
Li Du rolled his eyes. "Don't be silly, buddy. Didn't you hear what Hill said? The essential oil we got was extracted from more than 20 tons of rose petals. How much effort did you have to put in just to collect these petals? "
Hans sighed. "You're right. Money is really hard to earn."
Big Quinn glanced at him and said, "Big Fox, will you be happy after you pretend?"
Godzilla said, "A straightforward person doesn't pretend."
As the old goods were put on display, some old goods treasure hunters came to look for them on the same day.
The item that attracted the most attention was the fire extinguisher, which was made up of an engine and a high-pressure water gun. It was removed from a fire truck and could be used by installing a water tank.
This fire extinguisher had a complete function. Godzilla had used it to clean the glassware before to extract water from the well.
People kept asking how they could trade for the fire extinguisher. Hans shook his head and said no. Li Du asked, "Why?"
Hans said, "They don't have anything valuable. We can take it to the old goods auction. This fire extinguisher is very popular. It can sell for a few thousand dollars!"
Besides the fire extinguisher, there were other useful items: various kinds of furniture, functional appliances, glassware, alcohol burners, and so on.
Someone took a fancy to an alcohol burner and said, "I like this. I have a truck tire. Do you want to trade it?"
The Iron Knight had a spare tire, and it had only been used for a short time. There was no need to change the tire, so Li Du felt that it was useless and didn't want to trade.
At this time, Goatee Garter strolled over to the campsite. He was also interested in the alcohol burner. He said, "Hey, buddy, the things you prepared are too lousy. A tire? Ha, you haven't gotten the hang of old goods trading. "
Seeing this guy, Li Du couldn't help but laugh. No wonder everyone hated him. He was too sarcastic, and it was completely meaningless.
