Manager Yao, full name Yao Rui, now holds an important position in the procurement department.
All mountain farmers who come to sell their medicinal materials have to go through his process, and he has set a rule that he exploits at least twenty percent profit from each individual seller. Add to that his occasional acts of driving prices down, like he did just now with Su Wen's halved offer, and all the extra profit ends up in his pocket.
These individual sellers might seem small-scale, but three to five catties of medicinal materials from each person add up to thousands of yuan. With Xinmin Pharmaceutical's big sign hanging out there, there are at least seventy or eighty sellers visiting daily. This means medicinal materials worth around one hundred thousand yuan pass through Yao Rui's hands each day.
