Chapter 481: Chapter 481 – Chinese Miracle Medicine

All sorts of pain and aching vanished where the warmth spread.
In particular, her gastric problems, herniated lumbar disc, and arthritis had been tormenting her.
However, her aching stomach no longer hurt when the warmth spread through her body. There was no more stabbing pain from her waist and her joints no longer felt the same swelling pain as they did in winter.
Even the fatigue from accompanying Gustav throughout the day had vanished without a trace.
This was practically a miracle medicine!
Of course, with how effective the herbal wine was, Zhou Rong was somewhat concerned that stimulants had been mixed into it.
In truth, though the effect of this drink was minimal on Wei Xiao Bei, the life force it contained and the roast meat’s effect of regenerating stamina and energy could be considered a miracle medicine to an ordinary person.
“If Ms. Zhou is still worried, you can have experts properly analyze the contents of the herbal wines. Speaking of which, before that, may I ask a question? How much could this herbal wine sell for if it was placed on the market?”
Wei Xiao Bei naturally understood Zhou Rong’s concerns when he saw the hesitation on her face. As such, he very honestly suggested what she should do.
Zhou Rong immediately returned to her state of mind as a successful businesswoman when he heard that Wei Xiao Bei intended to sell this herbal wine. She also finally relaxed when she heard this. Unless Wei Xiao Bei was truly a madman, he would never mix stimulants into a herbal wine he intended to sell.
After all, in her opinion, herbal wine like this would probably be so expensive that it could only be sold to people of status and wealth.
Of course, every person of status and wealth regarded their health with the highest importance. You would be looking for death if you tried mixing in stimulants in a product like this!
“It should be able to sell for a high price. If you dilute it with water that’s ten times the amount of wine, you could sell a bottle like this for ten thousand USD. Of course, the question is whether diluting the wine will destroy its effects.”
Zhou Rong didn’t speak without thought. She only started slowly speaking after she had properly considered the matter.
Dilute it by ten times the original amount?
Wei Xiao Bei was utterly impressed by Zhou Rong. This was a businesswoman.
The liquid in the bottle was already mixed with a pitiful amount of World Tree Sap.
It was one milliliter at the very best, mixed with a pinch of roast meat.
Of course, the World Tree Sap couldn’t be found anywhere else.
Calling it a peerless treasure wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
However, anything in this world could be tagged with a price in the eyes of businessmen.
As such, 0.1 milliliters of World Tree Sap being able to sell for ten thousand USD was already proof of the value of the sap.
Though diluting it with ten times the water will weaken its effects, it wouldn’t do so by much. It would probably weaken the effect proportionally, by ten times.
The money that those people of important status and great wealth used on annual healthcare was probably immense.
Even after being diluted with so much water, the liquid should still be able to protect them from major diseases for a few years. Their original pains and sickness would also be alleviated or even cured in a short time.
Given that to be the case, they would be making a profit in buying this liquid.
Of course, using a bottle every month was a necessity. In particular, the older billionaires might even need a bottle every few days. Those who were on their death beds would easily need to consume three to four bottles a day.
After all, the life force contained in such a diluted version of the sap had to be very weak. It would have trouble curing a person immediately.
“It won’t ruin the effect of the medicine. It will only weaken it slightly. If that is the case, I intend to leave this business to be run by Ms. Zhou? What do you think?”
Wei Xiao Bei couldn’t be bothered to deal with such a matter personally. An item as precious as this would be noticed by many people.
Who knows how much trouble he would attract if he attempted to personally run the business.
After all, in the eyes of the public, he was only an ordinary civilian. Well, an ordinary civilian that knew some martial arts.
However, Zhou Rong was different. Just the name of the Danish royalty would keep many people with ill intentions at bay.
“I could do it, but how do we split the profits?”
Zhou Rong kept a clear mind even in the face of such a profitable business. She then started negotiating with Wei Xiao Bei.
Huang Kun started babbling on the side. His thoughts were really simple. He didn’t think that his mother would start talking business with his master so seriously. He felt as if he was losing face in front of his apprentice sister.
It was almost as if he had betrayed his master. As such, Huang Kun was trying to push the deal to his master’s benefit.
In the end, Huang Kun was thrown out of the meeting room by both Wei Xiao Bei and Zhou Rong. Zhu Xin Yi felt a bit awkward listening by the side. As such, she asked her master for permission and went out to console Huang Kun.
Wei Xiao Bei might not have much experience running a business, but Zhou Rong wasn’t attempting to sweeten the deal for herself alone. Of course, she explained the matter of shares very well. After all, if this thing was to be associated with the royalty, then Gustav’s family had to have a stake in it as well.
After some discussion, Wei Xiao Bei held seventy percent of the shares, Zhou Rong twenty percent and the royalty ten percent.
In the end, Wei Xiao Bei borrowed a million euros from Zhou Rong and sent a hundred thousand of it to Andre.
By noon, five thousand ceramic bottles from China arrived.
By this point, Wei Xiao Bei had already finished mixing the herbal wine in his room. He followed Zhou Rong’s suggestion and diluted it with water.
Once the bottles arrived, Wei Xiao Bei, Huang Kun, and Zhu Xin Yi worked to fill the five thousand bottles.
Until now, he had exhausted five hundred milliliters of the Ordinary Inferior World Tree Sap.
Wei Xiao Bei felt a sense of achievement when he looked at the bottles that had been stacked all over the room.
This was fifty million USD. Receiving seventy percent meant that he would be effectively making thirty-five million USD.
What a pleasant feeling.
A monopoly was the only true way of profiteering, and profiteering was the only true way of making money.
Zhou Rong then took all the bottles away. She then had people use lasers to imprint words upon the bottles in Chinese, Danish, English, French and a few other languages.
The meaning of the three words- Chinese Miracle Medicine!
Wei Xiao Bei felt like Zhou Rong’s talent for naming things was just like his, simple, to the point, and stylish!
Andre finally arrived on the third day, bringing his family along with him.
Since Andre had arrived, Wei Xiao Bei had no reason to delay any longer. He bid farewell to Zhou Rong, who had no objections about Huang Kun returning with Wei Xiao Bei, partly due to their business venture. She had a car bring them to the airport and gave them a bunch of Danish specialties, pretty accessories and even electronic products.
Wei Xiao Bei once again experienced the chatterbox nature of Andre on the flight back.
“What a waste! What a waste! Two more days and my house could have sold for another five thousand euros! Five thousand euros!”
The same stuff over and over. Wei Xiao Bei couldn’t help but glare at Andre and say something from between his clenched teeth: “If that is the case, how about you go back and sell your house and return a hundred thousand euros to me?”
“Hehe, it’s just a joke, just a joke.”
Andre didn’t dare to keep babbling on with his nonsense when he saw the look on Wei Xiao Bei’s face. Instead, he turned his attention to Huang Kun and started conversing with him.
You could call it learning from each other if you were being nice.
Nobody knows how much of Andre’s Norweigan Huang Kun understood.
The plane landed at Cui Hu International Airport. Wei Xiao Bei had just grabbed all of his luggage and placed it on his dusty SUV when his phone rang with a message.
Wei Xiao Bei finally took out his phone to check his messages once everyone was on the car and he had driven onto the lane.
However, upon seeing the messages, he almost drove the car straight into the paddy fields beside him.
A Simple Prank, Or Something Else?
Terrifying Monsters Appear, the Consequence of Modern Pollution?
Murder, Unsolved!
…
Most of these messages were from mobile newspapers. The content made Wei Xiao Bei slightly shocked.
Lots of things had happened in Cui Hu City in the time he was away.
Things like a dozen students dying mysteriously in Cui Hu University without any explanation.
Things like someone killing themselves in Cui Hu Lake in the middle of the night every two weeks.
Things like beetles that bit people appearing in some places.
Some people even claimed that they were attacked by little green people holding knives. However, the police reported it as a wild dog biting incident and the units started a program to deal with vicious dogs.
Wei Xiao Bei used his phone to check the web.
Most netizens did not believe these rumors.
Of course, they were only rumors. Even Wei Xiao Bei would not have believed such wild claims in the past.
However, he knew that all these incidents had to have something to do with the Dust World.
A similar incident had happened before- the zombie incident back at the old rental street.
However, he had quickly disposed of the zombies then. Moreover, they didn’t possess the ability to spread any kind of zombie virus. As such, the incident didn’t affect many people and passed over without much effect. Anyone who didn’t witness the incident themselves quickly forgot anything ever happened.
However, there were more incidents this time, causing there to be a much more widespread effect.
Before Wei Xiao Bei could think of a way to deal with these things, Huang Kun started shouting in a panic, “God, the Dust World is invading reality?”
There was no doubt that Huang Kun had also received similar messages on his phone.
Compared to other people, Huang Kun naturally believed the news. After all, he had been to the Dust World and had some idea of what was happening.
Wei Xiao Bei glared at Huang Kun. He didn’t need to worry about Xin Yi or Andre, but the problem was with Andre’s wife and children. They were all ordinary people and shouldn’t know of such matters.
Fortunately, they did not know Chinese and couldn’t understand what he had said.
Huang Kun stuck his tongue out and put his phone back into his pocket.
Wei Xiao Bei settled Andre and his family in the dojo once they arrived. At any rate, there were plenty of rooms. Andre’s wife was also a good cook and a diligent person. It was almost as if they had hired help around the house.
One of Andre’s children was sixteen while the other was thirteen. Wei Xiao Bei asked Shan Bing to enroll them in an international school. It cost a lot, but he couldn’t possibly hold up the studies of someone else’s children, could he?
Of course, Andre’s children were not quite used to this new and foreign environment yet
