"Oh?"
Li Qinyi heard this, and her eyes flashed with a hint of surprise as she couldn't help but scrutinize Qin Chuan.
It was only then that she realized Qin Chuan was just in his early twenties.
At this age, he should still be in college, right?
"Mr. Qin, there's a profit of tens of millions involved here, are you sure?" Li Qinyi, concerned that Qin Chuan might be unaware of the ramifications, specifically reminded him.
"I'm sure."
Qin Chuan said calmly.
Indeed, he was in dire need of money. Cultivation is a bottomless pit, and the Nine Dragon Creation Skill is even more of a money-eater.
But, for the Phantom Group to monopolize the pharmaceutical business in Jiang City, they had to have some formidable means.
Cooperating with them is not exactly negotiating with a tiger, but close enough.
He didn't want to create trouble for himself.
Qin Chuan was not blinded by the immediate profit.
"Then, in that case, I shall take my leave."
Li Qinyi was decisive, without a hint of hesitation.
Her goal for coming today was the Yang Gathering Pill.
Qin Chuan disagreed, so there was no point in staying any longer.
The Phantom Group had its pride. There was no way they would compromise their dignity for a single Yang Gathering Pill deal.
Seeing Li Qinyi about to leave, Qin Chuan said with confusion, "But what about the medicinal herbs? We can talk about the herb business, I genuinely want to buy them."
"The herb business is not under my jurisdiction."
Li Qinyi said straightforwardly, the organizational structure of the Phantom Group was clear, and there were specific colleagues responsible for selling herbs.
Simply put, her responsibilities were more advanced and more important.
She wasn't interested in getting involved with something as trivial as herb sales.
Qin Chuan heard this and frowned: "The herbs I need are quite special, ordinary sales might not cover it."
Li Qinyi paused slightly upon hearing this, and looked back at him: "What kind of herbs do you need?"
"Herbs over two hundred years old, or even older, specifically, I need to inspect the goods first before deciding." Qin Chuan replied.
Li Qinyi nodded.
Herbs over two hundred years old were considered rare even within the Phantom Company.
The inventory was not large.
Indeed, it was not something ordinary sales could access.
However, Li Qinyi was still uninterested in involving herself.
She had only stopped out of curiosity as to what Qin Chuan intended to do with these herbs.
"Are you planning to create new elixir pills?"
Li Qinyi asked curiously.
They had long since researched the ingredients of the Yang Gathering Pill.
The herbs used were very common and ordinary, with low years.
Qin Chuan suddenly asking for herbs over two hundred years suggests that he might be using them for alchemy, and possibly making elixirs even better than the Yang Gathering Pill.
If they couldn't compete with the Yang Gathering Pill business, perhaps collaborating on this new elixir could be just as profitable.
Moreover, it seemed like this new elixir would be costly to produce.
It should also have larger profit margins,
Ordinary people couldn't afford it, but the Phantom Group could definitely find the right clients.
Of course, this was just Li Qinyi's preliminary thought, everything would ultimately depend on what kind of elixir Qin Chuan intended to make.
"Uh... not at all." Qin Chuan responded.
"Are you playing me? Hmph!"
Li Qinyi's face darkened instantly, feeling she'd been toyed with, and she was ready to leave immediately.
Qin Chuan felt a headache coming and said, "Is it necessary to collaborate for you to sell me the herbs? Can't I just pay for them?"
"Herbs over two hundred years old have a price but no market; with your current situation, you don't meet our client requirements."
Li Qinyi said without turning back.
Although she wasn't in charge of sales, she understood the value and importance of herbs over two hundred years old.
Such scarce herbs weren't sold to just anyone who could pay.
There were other interests involved.
If you had the right connections, being gifted for free wasn't out of the question.
In short, these herbs wouldn't easily be sold by the Phantom Group, not even to Jiang old master.
Qin Chuan heard this and clicked his tongue, looking frustrated.
Buying herbs had so many rules.
Not collaborating with them seemed like a wise choice.
But, that said.
Apart from the Phantom Group, he really didn't have a better channel to purchase these herbs.
Qin Chuan glanced at Li Qinyi, who was about to reach the door, and bit his lip: "Are you interested in the Beauty Cream business?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qinyi slowly turned back: "Beauty Cream?"
Qin Chuan nodded: "An ointment with beautifying effects, it can restore damaged skin to infant-level smoothness."
"Can you demonstrate the effect?"
Li Qinyi didn't easily believe Qin Chuan just based on his words.
"Uh... not right now, you'll have to wait until tomorrow." Qin Chuan said awkwardly.
He had already made seven furnaces of Yang Gathering Pill today, depleting his spiritual power greatly, leaving not a single drop.
Under such circumstances, he simply couldn't create the Beauty Cream.
"Come to the address found on this card tomorrow, and contact me when you arrive."
Li Qinyi nodded and left her business card before leaving Tongde Hall.
Qin Chuan picked up the business card, glanced at it, and then placed it in his pocket.
On the other side, after Li Qinyi left, Jiang old master immediately stood up and bowed to Qin Chuan.
"Mr. Qin, I will never forget your great kindness." Jiang old master said gratefully.
"No need, no need."
Qin Chuan helped him back up: "I simply don't want too deep an involvement with the Phantom Group. I'm too carefree for their stringent rules."
"Regardless, since Mr. Qin has entrusted the Yang Gathering Pill to Tongde Hall, you are my benefactor," Jiang old master said earnestly.
While he had a significant reputation, it paled in comparison to the miraculous Yang Gathering Pill.
Tongde Hall had a big group of apprentices and employees relying on him.
The Yang Gathering Pill was undoubtedly Tongde Hall's golden signboard.
Subsequently, the two discussed raising the price of the Yang Gathering Pill.
Since even the Phantom Group showed interest, it proved the Yang Gathering Pill's value exceeded its current price.
Initially, Qin Chuan disagreed with raising the price, but upon hearing Jiang old master's suggestion to use the Yang Gathering Pill to form connections with high-status people, he agreed.
At six thousand yuan, ordinary people could still afford it with a pinch.
Bumping it up to fifteen thousand yuan essentially filtered out irrelevant candidates.
With the Yang Gathering Pill's current reputation, fifteen thousand per pill still had a market.
This time, Qin Chuan didn't monopolize this portion of the profit; at fifteen thousand, he only took thirteen thousand, with the remaining two thousand being Tongde Hall's profit.
Jiang old master blushed with embarrassment.
Yet, with Qin Chuan's insistence, he reluctantly accepted it.
Seeing it was late, Jiang old master called Wen Yaxin over: "Yaxin, please see Mr. Qin off."
"Alright."
Wen Yaxin cheerfully grabbed the car keys, as if she had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
Qin Chuan watched her enthusiastic demeanor and shivered inexplicably, feeling like there was some conspiracy waiting for him.
