Ling Tian saw clearly that for Bing Tian Pharmaceutical to become a top pharmaceutical enterprise in China, it could not rely solely on cosmetics.
Cosmetics should only be a side business, providing them with substantial cash flow.
In Ling Tian's view, they had more important things to do, and this Bing Tian Xiao Ke Wan, specifically for treating type 2 diabetes, was Bing Tian Pharmaceutical's flagship product, their first drug-related product launch!
"By the way, Bing Xia, what's the situation with the Sha He Pharmaceutical Factory now?"
"All the renovation and expansion projects for the winery have been completed.
The medicinal herbs processed by our Shi Li Pharmaceutical are sent there, sorted, and then begin the process of soaking for medicinal wine.
It is estimated that after two months, this medicinal wine will be filtered, bottled, and launched.
The company needs you to attend a meeting to determine the pricing for our medicinal wine product," Bing Xia explained.
"What is the approximate production cost?" Ling Tian asked.
"According to our calculations, the production cost for each bottle of medicinal wine is around 160 yuan. Including packaging, transportation, and other costs, it's about 200 yuan."
Ling Tian pondered for a moment. "Then let's tentatively set the ex-factory price at 680 yuan per bottle. As for the selling price, that will depend on the distributors' capabilities and market response."
Wang Bing Xia was somewhat surprised to hear this.
"Ling Tian, isn't this price a bit too high?"
Ling Tian smiled and shook his head.
"Bing Xia, you must understand that the medicinal wine our company is launching is absolutely not ordinary medicinal wine.
You don't drink, so you don't know the wonders of this wine.
Let's stick with this price for now. Once sales pick up, we can increase the price!"
Ling Tian was also very confident about the medicinal wine. The medicinal wine carefully concocted by his teachers was by no means ordinary.
"By the way, Ling Tian, what's going on with Xian Yao Technology that you acquired?
What are your plans for this company?" Wang Bing Xia asked again.
"This company is definitely a treasure trove, but they need a lot of capital for research. Once they achieve results, Xian Yao Technology will be like a hen laying golden eggs."
"Then how much do you think is appropriate to invest in them? And should we also talk to Professor An about acquiring more equity in the company?"
"No need. Professor An is the soul of this company. Without him, it would be difficult for others to manage it.
I don't intend to dilute Professor An's equity; this company is the culmination of his life's work.
How about this: transfer 100 million yuan in cash to them as an advance payment. I want to purchase a large quantity of seedlings and seeds from them."
"What do you need so many seeds for?" Bing Xia asked curiously.
"You'll know when the time comes!" Ling Tian displayed a charming smile.
Around noon, Ling Tian began practicing the Lie Yang Jue again.
Now, after dual cultivation with Bing Xia, Ling Tian felt his progress in the Lie Yang Jue was very rapid.
Especially during cultivation, he no longer had to worry about accumulating heat toxins within his body due to excessively fast temperature rises.
Even if some heat toxins remained, Ling Tian could neutralize them by introducing Bing Xia's profound ice inner energy into his body during dual cultivation.
In the afternoon, the sound of a truck suddenly echoed from outside.
Ling Tian went out to see that it was an extended refrigerated truck that had arrived outside the courtyard gate.
Judging by the license plate, it was a vehicle from the capital.
Ling Tian went up to inquire and learned that it was sent by Xian Yao Technology.
The day Ling Tian signed the equity transfer agreement, he immediately asked Professor An to prepare a portion of all their traditional Chinese medicine seeds and currently cultivated seedlings and send them to his home.
Professor An's execution was quite efficient. The next day, he arranged for his subordinates to prepare a large quantity of seeds and seedlings.
Ling Tian had the workers unload the truck into the garage in the courtyard. After settling the driver's fees, the truck departed.
Coincidentally, Wang Bing Xia returned home in the afternoon and went out shopping with her mother. Ling Tian closed the garage door and, looking at the seeds and seedlings spread across the floor, with a thought, they vanished, entering the spiritual realm space.
Ling Tian strolled into the spiritual medicine garden. Looking at the seeds and seedlings spread before him, with another thought, the seeds suddenly broke out of their packaging and floated in mid-air.
Immediately after, different seeds drifted towards different colored plots, automatically seeking out the soil suitable for their survival.
Subsequently, small pits, about the thickness of a thumb, appeared on the ground, and the seeds automatically floated into them.
Next, with another thought from Ling Tian, soil descended from the sky, directly filling these seed-filled pits.
Afterward, a light rain began to fall from the sky over the spiritual medicine field.
This rain was not heavy but was filled with spiritual energy, as it was rain transformed from the spiritual spring.
After the seeds were planted, Ling Tian followed the same procedure to plant the seedlings.
Most of these seedlings were not in good condition after the long journey, even though the refrigerated truck maintained their temperature.
However, once these seedlings were planted in the ground and watered with spiritual spring, almost all of them seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.
Ling Tian could feel the vigorous life force contained within these seedlings.
Ling Tian was immensely satisfied. He hadn't expected the spiritual medicine garden to be so powerful. At this rate, within half a year, he could harvest hundreds of types of rare medicinal herbs.
Even seedlings that were difficult to grow and propagate through artificial cultivation would receive excellent care from Ling Tian, and might even evolve into more vital varieties suitable for artificial cultivation!
Ling Tian planted all these seeds and seedlings in the spiritual medicine garden. As soon as he emerged from the spiritual realm space, he heard Wang Bing Xia return, and her voice was filled with anxiety.
"Ling Tian, Ling Tian! Where are you... it's dying!"
Ling Tian was puzzled. Dying? Was someone sick?
Ling Tian immediately ran downstairs and saw Wang Bing Xia rush in, holding a blanket.
Ling Tian initially thought she was holding a child in the blanket. However, when he took the blanket and looked, he found a small tiger wrapped inside.
This little tiger was only the size of an infant, emaciated, with sparse fur, clearly suffering from malnutrition.
Furthermore, the little tiger's eyes were full of discharge, indicating it was severely ill.
"Bing Xia, where did you get this thing? This is a national protected animal!"
"As we were returning, the authorities were inspecting the national highway for wildlife smuggling. They discovered a truck carrying many animal carcasses, including tigers.
I went forward to watch, and I saw this little one still had a breath of life, so I told them that I knew someone who could save this little tiger!"
