Chapter 347: Chemical Analysis

Los Angeles was a melting pot of diverse cultures and a city of crime. These two aspects of LA were similar to Detroit.

LA had been fighting a war on drugs for decades. Thus, as for yesterday and today, that explained why the police had rushed over so quickly once there was a tip-off.

Li Du had initially been enraged by the sudden raid, but knowing Godzilla’s past, he couldn’t feel anger anymore. He could only sit in silence.

However, since they were having a legal business negotiation here, the police couldn’t just create trouble for them due to Godzilla’s past.

Under Hill’s suggestion, the cops sat down for coffee.

The lead policeman examined Godzilla’s green card and driving license. He then contacted the station to see if he had any criminal records.

Naturally, Godzilla’s records were clean. The only allegation he had was an unauthorized entry into a neighbor’s kitchen. However, that case had been dismissed and Godzilla hadn’t gone to court for it. There had been no negative consequences for him.

With the misunderstanding cleared, the team leader downed his coffee in one go, and said, ”Alright, we’ll be leaving now. However, sir, you better get rid of that tattoo on your chest.” Godzilla gave a low grunt in response; it was unclear if he agreed.

”We can still continue with the deal, right?” Hill asked.

”Why not?” Li Du said. ”In Chinese, we have a saying; ‘Good things come to those who wait.’ Clearly, there will be wonderful things that will happen for us soon.”

Hill nodded with a smile and said, ”That would be wonderful.”

Alice continued her tests. After about half an hour, she and Hill went to a corner and secretly discussed something.

Once they finished their conversation, Hill was beaming. ”Mr. Li, Mr. Fox, I believe we can start talking about prices now.”

”These essential oils are all fine, right?” Hans asked.

”The physical appraisal is very positive. Our company is willing to buy them. However, we still have to rely on the chemical testing to determine the exact composition. We can negotiate a minimum price now.”

Setting a minimum price meant that they were willing to seal the deal. Regardless of the final test results, as long as they were sure that this was rose essential oil, they would at the very least make the exchange with the minimum set price.

Of course, if the chemical testing found that these bottles were not rose essential oil, but just high-quality imitations, then the agreement would be discarded.

Both parties were facing each other at the table when they started the big negotiation battle. Li Du was observing, while Hans and Hills exchanged blows with their words.

The result of the fight was that the minimum price was set at 660 dollars for every ounce.

The international market price was 1,500 dollars per ounce, but that was for premium rose essential oil from Bulgaria, Morocco and Turkey.

The essential oil that they had was made with common ingredients. The main component was Rose Alba and not Damask Rose, so the value was lower.

With the contract in place, they packed up the rose essential oil and drove to the Siguaraya company in LA.

Siguaraya was a second-tier supplier. They didn’t have a brand of their own. They mainly imported essential oil from other countries like Bulgaria, refined them, and sold them to famous brands like Chanel and Dior.
