Lan Feng smiled and said, "Of course. After the boxing match is successful, I will hold ninety-five percent of the shares. I can give Mr. Ye forty percent of the equity."
Ye Tian waved his hand, "This will be a company with profits of hundreds of billions of dollars annually. How can I accept it for free? What is your current valuation of the company?"
Lan Feng replied, "Approximately fifty billion US dollars."
Ye Tian stated, "Forty percent means twenty billion dollars. You must accept this money."
Lan Feng said helplessly, "Alright. But I still feel it's inappropriate for Mr. to participate in the boxing match."
Ye Tian retorted, "What's inappropriate about it? If I can get the equity, I don't mind fighting ten matches."
Kusuo Tamaki smiled, pursing her lips, "It seems Mr. enjoys fighting."
Ye Tian responded, "I don't particularly like it, but I don't dislike it either."
He then asked, "Who has the opponent sent for this boxing match?"
Kusuo Tamaki explained, "His name is Takeda Ichiro. Ten years ago, he was the champion of peak combat and killed an Earth Immortal. After that, he went into seclusion for cultivation. We have intelligence that the current Takeda Ichiro should possess an Immortal Body."
Earth Immortals at the Immortal Body realm have robust physiques, much stronger than those in the early Earth Immortal stage.
Ye Tian remarked, "Even as an Earth Immortal, he still fights for others."
Kusuo Tamaki elaborated, "Cultivation requires vast resources and immense wealth. He does this to earn more money. Although Earth Immortals are powerful, they are not invincible."
Ye Tian, still thinking about the gene editing company, asked, "Do you have time this afternoon to visit the company? I'd like to see the effects of gene editing."
Kusuo Tamaki nodded, "I'll accompany Mr. there."
After hosting Ye Tian for lunch, Kusuo Tamaki accompanied him to the company in the afternoon. As the Lan family were major shareholders, they had unimpeded access, proceeding directly to the core laboratory.
Inside the laboratory, there were various experimental animals: monkeys, mice, pigs, sheep, and others. There were also some gene-edited products: a pig with delicious meat and no pork odor; a monkey with a blue left eye and a green right eye, whose sense of smell was amplified tens of thousands of times.
Seeing these, Ye Tian inquired, "Tamaki, is the success rate of this gene editing high?"
Kusuo Tamaki replied, "Currently, the success rate exceeds ninety-nine percent. A while ago, the military wanted to cooperate with us to help them cultivate super-soldiers."
Ye Tian asked, "What's the difference between these super-soldiers and gene-modified soldiers?"
Kusuo Tamaki explained, "Those gene soldiers are administered gene serums in the later stages, and the success rate is very low. The company's modified gene project has a high success rate, but it takes too long. It takes nearly twenty years for a person to grow from a fetus to eighteen years old, and those people don't have the patience to wait."
Ye Tian asked, "Have you already cooperated with the military?"
Kusuo Tamaki replied, "Not yet. The Japanese military believes this gene editing takes too long and they are still accustomed to using American gene serums."
Ye Tian's heart stirred, "Tamaki, can you obtain American gene serums?" Ren Ping could also procure such serums, but he wanted more, as the serums provided by both sides would inevitably be different versions.
Kusuo Tamaki responded, "Yes. The military once sent the company a batch, hoping we could research the serum's components. If Mr. needs them, I can give you some."
"What levels of serums are they?"
Kusuo Tamaki listed, "There are C-class serums, B-class serums, A-class serums, and S-class serums. Of course, the most powerful are SSSS-class serums, but Americans don't sell them."
Ye Tian asked, "Can S-class serums cultivate S-class experts?"
"Yes, theoretically. However, the success rate is very low, less than one percent."
S-class warriors are roughly equivalent to Martial Kings in strength. The number of Martial Kings in this world is not large, so the effect of these serums is quite astonishing.
Ye Tian inquired, "How much does one dose of American S-class gene serum sell for?"
"Ten million US dollars."
Ye Tian calculated, "Cultivating one true S-class warrior would consume at least a hundred bottles, costing over a billion dollars!"
