Chapter 59 Making a Fortune
The Qian family, though worth billions, had recently encountered many troubles, causing their assets to shrink significantly to just over three billion, with only four to five hundred million in cash.
He simply couldn't produce that much money.
Having boasted too much, his expression turned somewhat unsightly.
"Young Master Qian, will this be an asset mortgage or a transfer?" Black Tiger asked with a smile.
Qian Shaokang felt uneasy but spoke stubbornly, "I'm not sure about the effects of these pills. Give me ten pills first, and I'll try them out back home."
Black Tiger was taken aback. The business had shrunk from over two billion to five hundred million, and he felt a pang of regret.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get me the medicine!" Qian Shaokang snapped when Black Tiger didn't move.
Hearing this, Black Tiger cursed inwardly, "Damn it, if you can't afford it, don't pretend! What a show-off!"
Despite his thoughts, Black Tiger smiled and said, "Young Master Qian, please don't be angry. I'll prepare the pills for you right away."
With that, Black Tiger immediately had his subordinate bring a jade box, place ten pills inside, and hand them to Qian Shaokang.
Qian Shaokang took the pills and then took out his bank card to pay.
At this moment, Qian Shaokang also felt a sting, as this was a significant portion of the Qian family's remaining funds, now all spent on the pills!
Despite the pain, it didn't stop Qian Shaokang from showing off and belittling others. Holding the pills, he boasted to Chen Xuan:
"Chen Xuan, see this? I have money! There's nothing I can't buy! You're just a good-for-nothing who relies on women!"
Chen Xuan chuckled ominously, "You're really something!"
Qian Shaokang immediately showed a smug expression, believing Chen Xuan's words were born from a poor person's envy of the rich and powerful.
"President Han, Master Moyang, let's go. This place reeks of a gigolo."
Qian Shaokang said to President Han and Master Moyang, pinching his nose as if the air carried a sour stench.
After Master Moyang and Qian Shaokang left, Black Tiger gave Chen Xuan a thumbs-up, excitedly saying, "Mr. Chen, you're brilliant! You've just made five hundred million. The entire distribution conference might not even bring in this much."
Chen Xuan smiled faintly, "When a foolish rich second-generation gives money away for free, why wouldn't I take it? Besides, for them, these pills only offer temporary life-saving benefits. As long as their bad luck isn't dispelled, they'll continue to face misfortune."
Black Tiger pondered the meaning of his words and was stunned, "Mr. Chen, the transformation of Qian Shaokang and Master Moyang into what they are now, is it related to you?"
Chen Xuan warned, "Ask what you should ask, and don't ask what you shouldn't!"
Black Tiger shrunk his neck and whispered, "Black Tiger understands."
However, he now knew that this matter was definitely related to Chen Xuan.
Qian Shaokang was one thing, but even Master Moyang, a revered feng shui master, had ended up like this. Chen Xuan was truly formidable!
At this thought, he broke into a cold sweat. Fortunately, he had chosen the right side. Otherwise, his fate would have been irreversible!
He shivered and immediately said respectfully to Chen Xuan, "Mr. Chen, I'll have someone transfer the five hundred million for the pills to your account right away."
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, "Five hundred million? Didn't we agree on an eight-two split?"
Black Tiger chuckled sheepishly, "Mr. Chen, I didn't really help much, so I feel unworthy."
Chen Xuan said calmly, "Let's do it by the rules. As for the money from selling the pills, it can all be transferred to my account after the distribution conference ends."
"Yes, Mr. Chen," Black Tiger replied respectfully.
After a few minutes, Chen Xuan felt it was about time and looked up at Black Tiger, asking, "When does the distribution conference start?"
Black Tiger glanced at his watch and chuckled, "Mr. Chen, the distribution conference is scheduled to start soon. However, we'll head over a little later. Otherwise, those arrogant rich people will take advantage of us. Let's keep them waiting for another ten minutes."
Chen Xuan's lips twitched. Black Tiger wanted to establish his authority and increase his own perceived value.
Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Xuan, too impatient to wait, motioned for Black Tiger to go to the distribution conference with him.
...
Meanwhile, Qian Shaokang walked out of the hotel triumphantly, still boasting, "Master Moyang, these pills are said to have excellent effects. Taking them will ensure our safety."
Master Moyang's anger surged upon hearing this. He sternly said, "Shut up! These pills are only worth tens of millions each, yet they were sold for fifty million. You've been tricked, and you're still gloating?"
In fact, Moyang had already seen through Chen Xuan's ploy to extort them. However, to obtain the life-saving pills, he had been enduring it all. He hadn't expected Qian Shaokang to flaunt them.
Qian Shaokang was stunned and immediately understood what was happening. His eyes flashed with coldness, and he roared in anger, "Damn it! Those two scoundrels dared to collude and trick me!"
Master Moyang looked at the belatedly enlightened Qian Shaokang with a hint of disappointment.
Although Qian Shaokang had acted impulsively, his mind was still immature.
If this incident were to get out, how could Qian Shaokang maintain his standing?
Qian Shaokang felt deeply humiliated and exclaimed, "No, I'm going back to find them!"
Master Moyang waved his hand, "Don't go!"
Qian Shaokang stopped, saying unwillingly, "Master Moyang, I've already lost face due to the issue at the Medical God Pharmaceutical banquet. If I lose face again, I won't be able to get by in Jiangzhou..."
Master Moyang gritted his teeth and said, "Black Tiger is determined to cling to Chen Xuan's coattails. If we return the pills, we'll never get them again. Let's hold on for another day or two. My teacher will be back soon. By then, let alone five hundred million, I'll make him cough up ten times, twenty times that amount, and even take his life!"
Qian Shaokang's eyes blazed with ferocity, and he excitedly said, "Then, I'll make him kneel before Yunxi!"
...
At the distribution conference, Black Tiger, wanting to enhance his status, had prepared an opening speech of ten pages, tens of thousands of words, delivered with great flair and emotion.
The wealthy individuals in the audience were falling asleep listening to Black Tiger's speech, but they dared not express their discontent.
After all, Black Tiger was in charge of distributing the pills!
Chen Xuan had other matters to attend to and didn't have time to listen to Black Tiger's unnecessary ramblings. He directly said, "The distribution conference will now begin. Let's move directly to the bidding process."
Black Tiger appeared somewhat embarrassed but dared not say anything. He coughed twice and said, "Fine, I won't waste any more words and will get straight to the point!"
The audience members cast grateful smiles towards Chen Xuan.
"Agency fee, ten million per pill!" a wealthy individual bid.
"Eleven million!"
"Twelve million!"
"Thirteen..."
Due to the limited quantity of pills, the final transaction price for the agency fees reached a staggering twenty million!
And this was just the agency fee. If these distributors managed to sell the pills, the actual selling price would reach an astonishing level.
However, Chen Xuan was no longer concerned with these details.
After the distribution conference concluded, Chen Xuan drove back home. As soon as he arrived, he received a text message from the bank.
Twelve hundred million had been deposited into his bank account!
