My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!
Chapter 815 - 815 815 Spendthrift Wife!

815: Chapter 815: Spendthrift Wife!

Old acquaintance?

Wu Jie frowned.

Such a formidable person right by his side?

That’s incredible!

Whether it was exchanged with lost cultural artifacts or obtained through high-priced auctions.

Either way, the several hundred thousand Detox Pills that had been exported abroad were in the hands of a few international pharmaceutical companies.

Wu Jie believed that, true to the nature of capitalists, these Detox Pills would definitely not be used to save their ordinary civilians.

Government officials, social elites, wealthy individuals…

After these people had their share, the Detox Pills would definitely leak out, but the price would certainly not be cheap.

After all, Yincheng won the first auction at a sky-high price of 400,000 yuan per pill.

But who could blame them, when the Detox Pill’s medical effects were miraculous and almost capable of curing all diseases?

Scarcity enhances value!

The production and sales of the Tianyuan Tang’s Pharmaceuticals Detox Pill had been indefinitely halted, unavailable through cultural exchange or auction bidding.

These several hundred thousand Detox Pills, naturally, became rare goods.

The more they were used, the less they remained, and the rarer they became, the more expensive they got.

And for human beings, desperate to survive and extend their lives, what wouldn’t they do?

Additionally, many people believed in “you get what you pay for,” thinking that Detox Pills that could sell at sky-high prices must be effective.

So…

Thinking about what Xu Wei had said earlier.

The Detox Pills that transacted at auction for merely 200-300 thousand, but once trafficked back from abroad, cost at least 500,000 per pill, and even then, availability was not guaranteed.

Damn!

Even drug trafficking, punishable by death, wasn’t as profitable, right?

Wu Jie guessed that if not for the Security Bureau’s strict isolation and protection of the Tianyuan Medical Center, many people would have tried to sneak in, smuggling out the medicinal Detox Pills to make a fortune.

People die for wealth, as birds die for food!

But searching through his memory, Wu Jie really couldn’t recall such a formidable person.

Someone who could connect with those few international pharmaceutical companies and traffic their scarce Detox Pills back to the country.

“How about it?

Guess who it is?

Moreover, the other party promises it’s genuine medicine!” Xu Wei smiled.

Wu Jie shook his head: “Fuck, I really can’t guess.

Who is that incredible?”

Xu Wei didn’t keep him hanging anymore and said directly:

“Of course, it’s the Xu Family of Liuli City!

I thought you might have guessed, as deals like this can’t be done without powerful forces and extraordinary ability.”

Wu Jie slapped his forehead, smiling wryly.

“Damn it!

I didn’t think of Mad Xu!”

“The Xu Family of Liuli City… haha, that domineering and powerful family, always so incredible!”

Xu Wei laughed, “That contact also mentioned that the famous Mr.

Xu of Liuli City has a very good relationship with you!

Temporary supplies are imported from abroad, but later they will be able to get the goods directly from your hand…”

Wu Jie patiently listened till the end.

These days, people who hustle really love to boast!

Well, since bragging doesn’t cost taxes!

But…

Am I really close with Xu Feng?

Can he really get goods from me?

Hearing that, it sounds like I’m some big-time merchant.

And Xu Feng has his own messaging and phone, he hasn’t contacted me recently!

Could it be that he wants to open up the market and then negotiate?

“Alright, enough, those black-market Detox Pills—who knows what they’re made of?

The production and sales have halted, making many people anxious, giving the scammers a chance to make money!”

After listening, Wu Jie kindly reminded him.

Xu Wei smiled, “Don’t worry, Jie!

Starting from 500,000 yuan per pill, if you really want to buy, who knows how much extra you’ll need to pay!

Anyone with a bit of sense will do their math right, and those fooled deserve their fate for being foolish and wealthy!”

After chatting for a while, Wu Jie hung up the phone and immediately called Zheng.

The supply of Detox Pills at the Tianyuan Medical Center should be temporarily cut off, and any unused medicine must be strictly safeguarded, to prevent people from getting greedy.

Furthermore, security control at Tang’s Pharmaceuticals should be thoroughly reinforced.

The current price of Detox Pills was more expensive than damn jewels, making it difficult to ensure that people wouldn’t take extreme risks for huge profits.

However…

Zheng also reported a particularly worrisome situation.

Due to the miraculous medical efficacy of the Detox Pill, almost a cure-all.

The network monitoring center discovered many cancer, AIDS, leukemia, and other severe disease patients quite actively communicating.

Some wanted to sell everything they owned, take out loans to buy the secretly trafficked Detox Pills but were afraid of being deceived.

Others wanted to start a petition to lift the production and sales ban, allowing civilians to voluntarily spend money on the purchase.

And some, even more directly and crazily, wanted to form groups to come to Tianyuan, and sit in front of the Tanglong Industrial Group building, willing to make a big fuss, to draw worldwide attention!

They wanted the special task force to end the investigation and allow the Detox Pills to continue being produced and sold.

Isn’t it because the instinct to survive is innate to humans?

If one were to attempt a direct rescue, the panicked drowning person might very well drag the rescuer down with them.

In short,

humans will do anything to stay alive.

As for this trend in public opinion, although it’s still small in scale, it will escalate as time passes.

Once the news media, who love sensational stories, get involved, it will explode…

When that time comes!

If, as they predict, millions of people flood into Tianyuan…

then this city will be overwhelmed and bring unpredictable safety hazards.

Not to mention traffic and lodging, the key issue is the huge crowds.

What if a stampede occurs?

How many would die?

They are already suffering terribly from struggling against the disease!

If they encounter disasters after coming here, wouldn’t that be even worse?

The situation is very bleak.

If Wu Jie’s phone hadn’t been turned off earlier, Zheng would have called to report the situation sooner.

After listening, Wu Jie pondered for a moment.

“Halting production and sales for investigation…

This is the predetermined strategy, and we must teach those who are ignorant a profound lesson.

Let them know that we are not to be trifiled with!”

“As for this craze about seeking medication, hasn’t the special task force already arrived in Tianyuan?

Let them hold a press conference first, informing the world that the investigation won’t last more than seven days, and the results of the investigation and actions will certainly be announced within those seven days!”

Zheng laughed heartily, “Seven days…

what a special time frame!”

The implication of his words was that the patients infected with the Sakuragi Hana disease wouldn’t even survive seven days!

With the current global epidemic and chaos everywhere, no one wants to wait even a second.

Asking them to wait seven days…

Many places will probably already be a complete mess, as if ravaged by war.

Moreover, what kind of investigation results there will be is still uncertain.

Even if the investigation concludes, and they are only subjected to heavy fines and compulsory price reductions,

Wu Jie would still have many reasons to delay for a long time.

Such as needing to purchase new materials due to the long halt in production, recalibrating the production lines, etc.

There are many plausible excuses to delay for another ten days or half a month without being faulted for it.

By comparison,

there are no patients with the strange disease domestically; those who are desperate to buy the medication are other seriously ill patients.

With today’s medical technology, even late-stage cancer can be held off for a month or two.

Not like the Sakuragi Hana virus where if the disease manifests for two days, there’s no need to treat, and death is certain within seven days.

Continuing with such delays, the number of deaths and destruction caused might be even greater than that seen in the last two great wars.

After discussing for a while, Wu Jie returned to his study.

In the financial markets, having money does allow for caprices.

According to regulations, if a listed company commits acts against public safety or health, it can be forcibly delisted.

Now, the subsidiary’s production of Detox Pills had been indefinitely halted and was under investigation…

This provided Tang Xiao with the perfect reason to forcibly delist!

Because the previous benefits from Graphene Composite Batteries and Tianyuan Green Energy Autos had driven the stock prices significantly high.

Forcing a delisting now meant buying back these shares at a high cost; naturally, this isn’t a little expense.

But previously, Wu Jie tricked the Northern Fox Organization, wildly winning bets on the Brune Cruise, compensation from three international giants…

It proved that Tang Xiao’s judgment was not wrong.

At that time, many people in the world thought the Star Federation had the strongest technology, causing many investment institutions to crazily buy Gold Coins in an attempt to avoid a market crash, which led to a strengthening of the Gold Coin.

Yet Tang Xiao did the opposite, trusting Wu Jie’s suggestion, converting all the massive amounts of Gold Coins into paper money.

Turns out that while the Star Federation struggled with the virus epidemic, the situation in Liuli Continent stabilized first.

Tang Xiao’s move not only perfectly avoided a collapse of the international financial market but also made a fortune.

With too much money to spend, Tang Xiao could afford such capricious and forceful repurchasing.

“Finally done!”

Tang Xiao stretched, feeling particularly relaxed.

“How much did it cost?” Wu Jie asked curiously.

“Not too much, just over a hundred billion,” Tang Xiao replied with a nonchalant smile.

Wu Jie’s lips twitched.

Over a hundred billion…

and that’s considered ‘not too much’?

“You really are a big spender, huh!

You could have manipulated the market to drop the stock price to rock bottom before repurchasing!”

Tang Xiao laughed, “It doesn’t matter!

We’re not short of money, and I’m actually planning to talk to other shareholders.

If they’re willing, I want to repurchase more shares to aim for a 90% stake!”

“All that money in the bank account is meaningless if not spent; it’s just a string of numbers.

Why not make the corporation our personal property, and then see who dares gossip about us?”

Wu Jie had nothing to say but gave a thumbs up.

The domineering CEO is indeed extraordinary!

So bold!

So assertive!

However…

Suddenly, Tang Xiao said, “Dad is planning to let the whole family know that my old injury has already been cured by the Detox Pill.

I think he wants us to start trying for a baby soon.”

“And speaking of having children…”

Tang Xiao’s gaze suddenly turned sharp, staring fiercely at Wu Jie:

“What exactly is your relationship with Lin Yuan?”
