791: Chapter 791: You’re such a bad boy!

World in great chaos?

Wu Jie couldn’t help but laugh with surprise,

“Is it really that serious?

I’m selling medicine to eliminate the virus crisis!”

As he spoke, Wu Jie walked over to the sofa, sat down, and poured himself some tea.

Tan chuckled lightly and stepped forward to take a seat opposite Wu Jie.

“Do you realize what would happen if we actually did as you suggest?”

Wu Jie held his cup, furrowed his brow, and thought for a moment.

“Your wish would soon be fulfilled, and I…

would make a lot of money!”

Tan laughed and scolded, “Money, money, money, you little rascal, why is your head always filled with thoughts of money?

The money you’ve made is enough for dozens of lifetimes.

Do you still want to make more?”

Wu Jie put down his teacup.

“Sigh, actually, I’ve already lost interest in money.

I just feel that doing this is in the best interest of the nation and its people!”

Tan’s lips curled up into a wry smile,

“By doing this, they will surely exchange their resources and materials for Detox Pills in a frenzy, allowing us to obtain a massive quantity of resources and goods at extremely low prices, while also exporting various industrial products to them, yielding hefty profits.”

“We are bound to prosper, and those who cooperate with us will also reap huge benefits, but have you thought about those who didn’t attend this meeting?

What about them?”

“Faced with a sufficiently large market demand, rarity commands the price, and Detox Pills will inevitably skyrocket in value, becoming a form of currency even more valuable than Gold!”

“The representatives downstairs will surely do everything they can to buy all the Detox Pills and then selectively mark up the prices for the clients they wish to sell to, thus maximizing their profits!”

After a short pause, Tan spoke seriously,

“Have you considered what will happen to those who can’t afford the Detox Pills but are greatly suffering from the virus epidemic?”

“Oil is valuable, and wars can erupt over the fight for oil fields.

And Detox Pills are not only valuable but can also save lives.

Can you imagine the madness they may incite?”

“If they can’t afford them, they’ll resort to looting.

If they can’t win by looting, they’ll band together to attack, instigate wars.

So what you’re doing really could throw the world into great chaos!”

Wu Jie fell silent, his face adorned with a faint smile.

After lighting a cigarette and taking a puff, he laughed mockingly.

“Elder Tan, you’re not wrong, but have you considered?

Besides my method, is there a better choice?”

Tan sank into contemplation.

Wu Jie let out a long sigh of smoke.

“I, too, want to save all of humanity!

I wish everyone could live happily with their families, but is that possible?”

“Without this virus crisis, there are still people starving and dying every day, losing their lives in conflicts and wars.”

“Moreover, the virus is not to be underestimated, and even if Detox Pills work, they require time and cost to produce!”

“It’s not as if I could publish the formula and process and other pharmaceutical companies could learn it and quickly mass-produce Detox Pills.”

“I can only do my best to accelerate the production of Detox Pills and sell them—that would be an accomplishment.”

“Look at it from another angle.

If the Detox Pills become monopolized for sale and the price skyrockets, people will value self-protection even more!”

“If Detox Pills were worthless and cheap, think about it, who would still pay attention to the prevention and control of the epidemic?”

“For instance, if smoking, drug abuse, and heavy drinking didn’t harm one’s health, how many people would become addicted?”

“Without paying a price, how can we get people to take notice and prevent and treat accordingly?”

…

Tan kept nodding, offering no rebuttal to Wu Jie.

After Wu Jie finished speaking, Tan let out a sigh and said,

“I’m not saying what you’re doing is bad, simply that it seems a bit rushed!”

With a pleasant demeanor, Tan continued, “I originally just wanted you to negotiate with them first, to probe their intentions and bottom lines.

I didn’t expect that you had already settled on the terms of cooperation!”

Wu Jie laughed and said, “People are dying every second across the world, and we can’t afford to dilly-dally.

The more efficient our actions, the fewer people die, time is life, Elder Tan!”

“By reaching an agreement with them as soon as possible and supplying Detox Pills to the world quickly, that is the true representation of reducing deaths and embodying the spirit of humanitarianism!”

“To put it bluntly, if I had no compassion, I could completely refuse to export the Detox Pill and ignore the lives of the other six billion people, letting the virus wipe them out.

Wouldn’t the whole Earth be ours then?

Wouldn’t that be even better?”

Tan was stunned for a moment.

Wu Jie’s high-efficiency negotiations with various countries for medicine was a very clever choice.

Instead of letting the international situation fester until everyone gave up in despair and blew up the planet in mutual destruction.

Think about it.

Wu Jie’s seemingly ‘rash and impulsive’ decision actually revealed shrewdness and great wisdom at every turn.

Tan furrowed his brows tightly and pondered deeply for a long time.

Without realizing it, Wu Jie was nearly done with his third cigarette.

“Alright!

I’ve thought about it for a long time, and I haven’t come up with anything better than your plan!”

Tan couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up.

“Wu Jie laughed, “I only proposed the general concept.

How exactly we operate and negotiate the details of the medicine purchase with the attending countries still has to be arranged by you, Elder Tan!”

“Professional matters should be left to the professionals.

They know how to maximize our interests for the country and our citizens, legally and reasonably!

As for me…

I’ll head back after dinner, I need to hurry up and find a way to expand the production capacity of the Detox Pill!”

Tan nodded slightly and said, “Yes indeed!

According to the latest reports from various countries, the globally confirmed infected have already surpassed a hundred thousand, and those not yet diagnosed are still uncountable!”

“Due to the lack of strong pandemic control, the number of infections will continue to surge, so you must increase production capacity and provide more Detox Pills!”

Wu Jie shook his head and laughed, “You’re wrong, we can’t supply too much!

Scarcity increases value.

We can’t let the supply of Detox Pills exceed demand and sell them at the price of cabbage.

If we did, how then would they desperately compete to buy them?

And how would the public take precautions to avoid infection?”

Tan lifted his finger to Wu Jie, his face stifling a laugh as he said:

“You…

you little rascal are truly wicked!”

“Let’s go!

Let’s have a quick meeting next door!”

A quick meeting?

Wu Jie flashed an awkward smile for an instant.

The joke of a ‘quick meeting’ had already become a running gag among the higher-ups to tease him.

Because a meeting with Tang Xiao that was supposed to be short ended up taking two hours, causing him to miss the luncheon.

“Alright then!

I’ll bring my notebook and get the website set up as well!”

“That would be best, allowing those willing to cooperate to familiarize themselves with the trading rules tonight!”

…

Time quietly slipped away.

The setting sun dyed the evening sky red.

The afternoon meeting place gradually became lively.

Delegates from various countries buying medicine returned one after another, gathering in small groups to chat.

Each country had its team of elites, all full of smart individuals.

The cooperative proposal Wu Jie had made naturally went through many people’s diligent thought, analysis, and verification.

Pooling their wisdom, they analyzed how to use the method in conjunction with their respective national situations to maximize their interests…

At six in the evening,

to everyone’s anticipation, Wu Jie and his group finally arrived.

They were greeted with joy and genial conversation.

The atmosphere was completely different from what it had been before.

Even Watanabe Taizo approached with a bow and exchanged warm smiles and handshakes with Elder Tan.

Even Perrio invited Wu Jie to a secluded spot for a private chat.

After exchanging pleasantries, Perrio suddenly asked in a hushed tone:

“We spent over a decade sending twelve astronauts to the moon and brought back something special!”

“Decades have passed, and we have yet to fully understand it.

Can I trade some of it for the Detox Pills?”
