"Debt collection? I don’t recall owing anyone money."
The reporter retreated without a change in expression, his hand hidden behind him, attempting to secretly dial the emergency number. The man’s sudden appearance was too eerie, cornering him in the alley, instilling in the reporter a sense of fear.
Bai Yan moved swiftly, appearing before the reporter like a specter; his agility over 100 points was enough to dazzle any ordinary person.
The reporter gasped in shock as Bai Yan slightly shook his hand and the reporter’s phone appeared in Bai Yan’s grasp.
Bai Yan crushed the phone expressionlessly, sparks flying in all directions.
"Let’s talk about the people behind you."
Bai Yan said softly, exhaling a puff of smoke.
"You! You’re from the Wanyan Company!"
The fear was evident on the reporter’s face as he had no more room to retreat; he was cornered at the very end of the alley.
"Tell me, who sent you here today? You came well prepared, bringing both patients and doctors to watch Wanyan Company become a laughing stock?"
Bai Yan flicked the cigarette ash, a smile playing on his lips.
"No one sent me! Let me go, or I will call the police!"
The reporter looked at Bai Yan with a tense face.
"Tch, what a waste of time."
Bai Yan shook his head and his hand moved like lightning, thrusting the cigarette onto the reporter’s face.
The searing heat scorched the reporter’s face, causing him to scream in agony.
He tried to struggle, but Bai Yan kicked out.
The reporter’s right leg snapped at the sound, leaving him to roll on the ground, crying out in pain.
"Last chance, who sent you?"
Bai Yan squinted his eyes, filled with murderous intent, as he looked at the reporter.
"Hengle! It’s the Hengle Pharmaceutical Group from country H, they sent me! They said as long as you’re taken down, they would give me two million US dollars! There are also online hired trolls, and leading domestic corporations involved, including Tianlong Pharmaceutical Group, Kellogg’s Pharmaceutical Group..."
The reporter cried out nonstop, his snot and tears flowing together, looking utterly miserable.
Bai Yan asked in a soft voice.
"That’s all, really! Don’t kill me, please, I’m not lying to you!"
The reporter cried out, the pain from his broken thigh bone incessantly jabbing at his brain nerves; at this moment, he deeply understood that the man before him was ruthless! This man could very likely kill him!
Bai Yan nodded thoughtfully, then placed his hand on the reporter’s shoulder, smilingly said, "Well, have a safe journey."
No sooner had Bai Yan’s words fallen than several thick vines appeared out of nowhere around the reporter, then, like steel spikes, pierced the reporter’s body from all sides.
The vines wrapped tightly around the reporter, rendering him unable to even scream, leaving him only able to stare with desperate, bulging eyes, unwillingly looking at Bai Yan.
Those despair-filled eyes seemed to say, "I’ve told you who was behind this, why do you still have to kill me!"
The reporter was filled with regret, wondering why he had been greedy and listened to those foreigners! If he hadn’t provoked Wanyan Company, perhaps he wouldn’t have to die!
But it was too late; the Demon Tree’s vines absorbed all his Life Energy, transforming it into a new portion of Life Juice.
The reporter never knew what killed him, nor did he leave even a pool of blood behind; his bones and skin were thoroughly drained clean!
Hengle from country H?
Reaching out quite far, not afraid of having their claws broken.
Bai Yan turned and left the alley, his eyes gleaming with a hint of brutality.
No one can touch my interests, no one can interfere with my growth!
Offenders, death is the only fate!
The product launch of Wanyan Company in the Mijing Technology Exhibition Hall has concluded perfectly.
The very next morning, patients from all over the country gathered in front of the Wanyan Company building.
Since early dawn, they have been eagerly anticipating the sale of Wanyan Company’s drugs, desperately hoping to get their hands on the miraculous Biological Potion No.1.
And as soon as midnight struck yesterday, drug orders from all over the country started piling up like snowflakes on Li Xiaoman’s desk.
Overnight, Wanyan Company became a national sensation!
The entire staff of Wanyan Company swung into frantic action as if wound up. Biological Potion No.1 sold out completely within just one morning, all 100 doses!
By that afternoon, Medicine No.2 and Medicine No.3 had been ordered by major pharmacies and hospitals all over the country!
In just one day, a month’s worth of Wanyan Company’s stock was completely snapped up!
The revenue for that day exceeded 50 million dollars!
After deducting the costs for wholesale purchasing of live poultry and staff expenses, Wanyan Company raked in a clear profit of over 40 million dollars in one day!
For Li Xiaoman, this felt like a dream come true!
Even winning a top lottery prize couldn’t match the profits Wanyan Company made in one day!
However, this was still not the end. From that day on, as more and more stories of terminal illness patients being cured by Medicine No.1 kept coming from across the country, a growing number of patients converged at Wanyan Company’s doors, all yearning and pleading for more of Medicine No.1!
And the orders for the other two medicines were also skyrocketing, with people queuing up, and the latest orders being scheduled for three months later! All this happened in just three days since Wanyan Company opened its doors!
But no wonder people are going crazy; after all, diseases that used to cost tens of thousands to treat, whether acute or surgical, could now be completely cured by a 500-dollar dose of Medicine No.2 from Wanyan Company, with no risk of recurrence!
Dammit, only fools wouldn’t rush to buy it!
The nation was in a frenzy! Wanyan Company was pushed to the forefront of the craze!
Whether it was Medicine No.1, No.2, or No.3, all of them were in high demand and hard to find!
In all major pharmacies and hospitals across the country, Wanyan Company’s drugs would be sold out as soon as they hit the shelves, leaving not even a second for consumers to try and snap them up!
There were even black market auctions for Wanyan’s medicines, with the highest transaction price for Medicine No.1 exceeding one million dollars!
Even Medicines No.2 and No.3, which were slightly inferior in efficacy to Medicine No.1, were experiencing a shortfall in supply.
Li Xiaoman specifically sought Bai Yan’s direction regarding the current shortage of Wanyan Company’s medicines.
Bai Yan’s solution was to raise the price for Medicine No.1 to one million dollars per dose and to limit sales to 1000 doses per month, while providing as much of Medicines No.2 and No.3 as possible in large quantities and urging the R&D department to develop new health and preventive drugs based on Life Juice, all to alleviate Wanyan’s current pressure.
Yes, indeed it was pressure!
So many hospitals and pharmacies across the country were waiting for Wanyan Company’s three drugs, and countless terminal patients were longing for Medicine No.1. Regardless of the reason, Wanyan Company needed to ramp up production.
Moreover, the more drugs Wanyan sold, the more money they made, the greater their influence grew, the more poultry they could purchase, and the more Demon Energy they could provide to Bai Yan.
As Wanyan Company’s influence steadily expanded, Bai Yan’s power would also grow rapidly.
Increasing drug prices and production volumes was an imperative move!
Of course, to also consolidate Wanyan Company’s positive reputation, Li Xiaoman made a special announcement that each month, the company’s official website would randomly select ten terminally ill patients who could not afford the expensive medicine, and Wanyan Company would treat them free of charge.
This move undoubtedly earned Wanyan Company unanimous high praise!
All major media outlets went into a frenzy covering Wanyan Company, and the online narrative followed suit; everyone was paying attention to Wanyan Company, and everyone was praising it.
"The Savior of Humanity? A Living Hua Tuo? No, none of these! She is the most compassionate pharmaceutical company of the 21st century, and her name is Wanyan!"
"A Miracle Medicine Appears from Nowhere! Sweeping Across All Major Pharmacies in the Country! Famously called ’Bodhisattva Medicine’!"
"Wanyan Company, a company that gives terminal patients hope for life!"
"Biological Potion No.1! A great merit for mankind, the desire of millions!"
When it comes to Wanyan, nobody fails to give a thumbs up!
Some might ask, isn’t the one-million-dollar price for Medicine No.1 ripping people off?
If you had a terminal illness, on the brink of death, and Wanyan’s Medicine No.1 could give you life again, allow you to continue living, then that one million is nothing!
Even if the poor contracted such illnesses and could not afford Medicine No.1, it would not matter, as they could participate in online registration, where only the poor are allowed by Wanyan Company! There are ten free treatment slots provided every month!
Moreover, those critically ill and on the verge of death are given priority for Wanyan Company’s free treatment!
From every point of view, in this invisible battle of commerce, Wanyan Company has emerged as the unequivocal victor!
Popularity! Reputation! Fame! Money! Influence!
Wanyan Company reaped a grand harvest in every aspect!
