Negotiation

It wasn't entirely their fault, really. Jiang Fan was quite young, with a face that still held a touch of youthful innocence.

Especially after practicing the Breathing Technique, his skin was incredibly fine and tender, making him look even more delicate.

It was easy for people to misunderstand!

Sikong Yao stared for a long time, then tried to ask, "And who is this?"

Lu Bo smiled slightly.

"This is our client, Brother Jiang!"

Lu Bo stood up after speaking.

"Alright, since Brother Jiang is here, my task is complete!"

"The rest will be up to you yourselves?"

"Shall I excuse myself?"

He said, glancing at Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan nodded. Upon receiving the signal, Lu Bo walked towards the door.

Sikong Yao opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Lu Bo had already thoughtfully closed the door behind them.

Sikong Yao frowned and muttered.

"This old geezer, he didn't just pull someone random to fool us, did he?"

The few of them had given Lu Bo quite a few benefits to get information about the client.

Lu Bo took the benefits and promised to introduce them.

In the end, he brought all three of their families together and then, from who knows where, found a young man who looked like a high school student. Anyone would think Lu Bo was being perfunctory.

So, it wasn't strange for her to utter such a complaint!

After she spoke, she glanced at Xia Chengyang, but Xia Chengyang was in deep thought, not taking up the conversation, as if pondering a problem.

Jiang Fan picked up the tea by his side and took a sip, saying calmly.

"Oh?"

"If Boss Sikong feels Lu Bo was trying to fool you, you can leave now!"

As soon as Jiang Fan said this, Sikong Yao's expression changed.

She subconsciously wanted to get angry, but then seemed to recall something and held back.

Xia Chengyang looked at Jiang Fan in surprise.

Although Jiang Fan appeared to be a high school student.

His tone and aura were nothing like a high school student's.

To be so calm and composed in front of the three heads of the pharmaceutical groups was enough to prove that Jiang Fan was no ordinary person.

Seeing that Sikong Yao no longer spoke, Jiang Fan chuckled.

"Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Jiang Fan!"

"As you can see, I am indeed a high school student!"

"However, this serum was indeed refined by me!"

As soon as Jiang Fan finished speaking, Yu Jun quickly expressed his agreement.

"Brother Jiang, I believe you!"

"You're right, those who don't believe can leave!"

Sikong Yao was instantly infuriated, smoke practically rising from her ears.

"You!"

But in the next moment, she noticed Yu Jun's unusual reaction and turned to him with a smile.

"How could that be!"

"I was just speaking casually, I hope you'll forgive my offense!"

Xia Chengyang knew that Yu Jun had slightly more information than them. Although he also found it somewhat unbelievable.

But judging by Yu Jun's reaction, he knew that Jiang Fan was likely the person they were looking for.

So, ignoring the bickering between Sikong Yao and Yu Jun, he smiled and looked at Jiang Fan.

"Brother Jiang, allow me to introduce myself as well. I am the person in charge of Zhenyao Workshop, Xia Chengyang. I've wanted to meet you for a long time, and today I finally have the opportunity!"

"I believe you know the reason for our visit. We're all here to do business, so I won't beat around the bush. Let's be upfront: all of us are quite interested in the serum you have!"

"I was wondering if you have any thoughts about selling your formula?"

As soon as Xia Chengyang said this, Yu Jun and Sikong Yao stopped their argument and turned to look at Jiang Fan simultaneously.

Jiang Fan smiled faintly.

"Since Boss Xia is being so upfront, I won't waste any more words!"

"I am indeed interested in collaborating; otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to meet with you!"

Upon hearing this, the group became excited and exchanged glances.

Jiang Fan shook his head.

"However, when I say collaboration, I don't mean selling the formula to you!"

"Instead, I mean collaborating to develop new products!"

The group was taken aback, as Jiang Fan's answer was clearly beyond their expectations.

As everyone knew, the three major pharmaceutical conglomerates controlled the pharmaceutical resources of Jiang City.

Ordinary people couldn't get involved at all.

When they collaborated with others, their most common method was acquisition; there was no such thing as collaborative development.

With the resources of just a high school student, what grounds did Jiang Fan have to collaborate with them?

Sikong Yao chuckled charmingly.

"Jiang... Junior!"

"You might not fully understand the structure of our pharmaceutical conglomerates. We've never had rules about collaborating with other individuals or organizations!"

"I'm willing to pay 5 million for this bottle of serum!"

Jiang Fan's eyes narrowed.

On one hand, he was very uncomfortable with Sikong Yao's address.

On the other hand, he instantly passed a 'death sentence' on this woman!

5 million! Did she really think he was a child!

Jiang Fan ignored her and looked towards Xia Chengyang and Yu Jun.

"Do the two of you think the same way?"

Xia Chengyang and Yu Jun hesitated for a moment.

"This..."

Jiang Fan chuckled lightly.

"I presume the two of you have already understood the efficacy of this serum!"

"It costs half as much as the ordinary Fourth Generation Serum, but its efficacy exceeds that of the Fourth Generation Serum by 50%!"

The group nodded.

Ever since Yu Jun obtained this bottle of serum and its efficacy was analyzed, it was no longer a secret among the major pharmaceutical conglomerates.

Jiang Fan then swept his gaze across the group.

"Since you all know, you should be able to calculate the profits involved, right?"

Xia Chengyang spoke.

"Brother Jiang, if you're willing to sell, I'm willing to offer a reasonable price!"

"But regarding collaboration, I can't make that decision right now!"

When he said the word 'reasonable,' his voice clearly emphasized it, subtly poking at Sikong Yao.

Sikong Yao was furious, but she couldn't say anything to Xia Chengyang in front of everyone.

Jiang Fan, too lazy to bother with their petty thoughts, turned his gaze to Yu Jun.

"What about Old Yu?"

Yu Jun frowned in thought, deliberating for a long time, and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Brother Jiang, how would we collaborate?"

Xia Chengyang and Sikong Yao's expressions changed, and they looked at Yu Jun in disbelief.

They knew this old guy would mess things up, and sure enough!

Sensing their gazes, Yu Jun glared at them fiercely.

It wasn't that he was breaking the rules, but now, he had no other choice!

Zhenyao Workshop and Miaofang Pavilion both had baseline Fourth Generation products. Only their Anshi Hall had nothing. At this moment, if they stood on the same side as Xia Chengyang, it was possible that their entire Anshi Hall would be eliminated. Who would care about rules then?

Jiang Fan smiled slightly upon seeing this.

"It's very simple. I'll provide the formula and refining techniques, and Anshi Hall will be responsible for production and sales! The profit split will be 50/50!"

Upon hearing the 50/50 split, Yu Jun's expression changed.

"No way! 50/50 is too high!"

Jiang Fan shrugged.

"As far as I know, Anshi Hall doesn't have a Fourth Generation product yet. If this serum can be released, it will not only resolve the issues with the Fourth Generation product but also eliminate future worries for Anshi Hall..."

Jiang Fan paused and chuckled.

"The most crucial point is that the mass-produced version can undergo modifications. Although the efficacy will be slightly lower, the cost will be reduced, and the profit margin will be higher!"

Hearing this, Yu Jun looked at Jiang Fan in astonishment.

"It can be further improved?"

Jiang Fan said calmly.

"Of course!"

"The cost can be halved, but the efficacy will still be about 20% higher than the Fourth Generation product!"

Yu Jun's eyes lit up. He sat there pondering for a long time, but still shook his head.

"55 is still too high. If it were 46, I could make that decision!"
