Just as Xia Liu was mulling over a problem without results, a phone call sparked his inspiration.
The call was from Liu Lanxin, asking if he had the time to make a trip to Binlai City if it was convenient.
Xia Liu didn't refuse, as he had been wandering around the county town these days.
He aimed to understand and discover ways to make money, but Hejing County's economic scope was very limited.
With many rural households, if you tried to do a high-end business, you'd definitely lose your way to from losses.
The greatest development was tourism, with two hotels sufficing to cope with it.
If he wanted to make everyone in Osmanthus Village earn money, he had to do something big.
Now, receiving the call from Liu Lanxin ignited his inspiration.
What he was best at was medicine and martial arts, and let's not even talk about martial arts for now.
As long as he could excel in medicine, working with medicinal herbs, that was the real path to success.
The results of Beauty Mud were still fresh in his mind; how could he overlook such a lucrative industry?
With Binlai University having a few days off, Liu Lanxin heard from her family as soon as she got home that Beauty Mud might be gone in the future.
This made her a bit anxious, because this project was her achievement.
Beauty Mud had significantly elevated her status in the family, gaining more Continue reading more chapters on NovelHub for the best experience.
If Beauty Mud ran out, there would certainly be gossip within the family.
In order to help her family continue to rise, Liu Lanxin decided to take advantage of the holiday to meet Xia Liu.
Today, Liu Lanxin reserved a high-level private room at Wanqing Grand Hotel.
She also asked the waiter to light a few candles and then quietly waited for Xia Liu to come over.
Half an hour later, Xia Liu appeared in the private room.
The dim lighting, the faint candlelight.
Xia Liu almost thought he had walked into the wrong room; if it hadn't been for seeing Liu Lanxin, he would have turned around and left.
Because the atmosphere in the private room was astonishing, with a thick romantic ambiance.
He was certain that if it were a couple deeply in love,
eating here wouldn't finish before they began hurting each other.
"Brother Xia Liu, come over here and sit." Seeing Xia Liu arrive, Liu Lanxin stood up, pulled out a chair for Xia Liu, and warmly served him to his seat.
Xia Liu furrowed his brows, what was this situation, not seeing each other for more than two months, this girl seemed a bit different.
"Look, sister, this ambiance is pretty romantic; you didn't call me over today to confess your feelings, did you? Just so you know, I already have a girlfriend."
Having taken a seat, Xia Liu straightaway revealed his bottom line.
Lately, he really didn't have the luxury of time for such concerns, plus the two girls at home had already been tormenting him to near collapse.
Every day staring at two fairies he couldn't touch.
For any normal man, this was agony.
Liu Lanxin was startled by Xia Liu's bluntness; had she been drinking something, she would have certainly sprayed it all over him.
"You're overthinking it, Missy just wanted to light a few candles today, someone sure is full of himself."
"Alright then, Miss Liu, what good news do you have for me today?" Xia Liu rubbed his hands together, clearly anticipating something.
"Nothing much, just wanted to treat you to a meal and inquire about the Beauty Mud situation."
"Ah, Beauty Mud, there's a long story behind that, let's talk over drinks." When he got the call from her, Xia Liu had guessed what she invited him over for.
But that was normal, after all, Beauty Mud was a collaboration with her.
With no product currently available, he definitely had to explain why.
Xia Liu detailed the situation with the herbs, but he didn't mention anything else for the time being.
"Uh uh, so it's a scarcity of herbs, huh? I thought you were collaborating with others at a high price..." By the end, Liu Lanxin's words became quieter and quieter, to the point where she was mumbling at a volume that only she could hear.
"What! What did you just say?"
"Nothing, nothing!" Seeing Xia Liu's demeanor grow somewhat intense, Liu Lanxin grabbed her cup and took big gulps of her drink, obviously flustered.
Xia Liu smiled slightly; he had caught every word she said.
It was completely within reason for her to have such thoughts.
How popular the Beauty Mud was could be known just by turning on a smartphone.
If Tianluo Pharmaceutical had not been conscientious, a box of Beauty Mud that sold for twenty thousand could definitely have sold for a hundred thousand or even more.
There was a lengthy silence before Xia Liu suddenly asked, "Miss Liu, do you think it's easier to make money from women or from men?"
"That can't be certain; after all, money is hard to earn no matter what, but you're an exception," Liu Lanxin had intended to spout some grand truths, but when she recalled the money she paid to Xia Liu, she swallowed them hard.
"I have a project that we might collaborate on."
"What project!" Liu Lanxin perked up as soon as she heard Xia Liu mention a project.
His ideas, as long as they were achievable, would definitely cause a sensation across the nation.
Take the Beauty Mud, for instance; the initial negotiations had been as casual as a joke.
Yet in less than a day, he actually brought the Beauty Mud to market, and after a series of events, it went viral nationwide.
This was enough to prove Xia Liu's capabilities.
This time he was the one to bring up a collaboration project, which surely meant he had considered it for a long time; it was likely to be more stable and long-lasting than Beauty Mud.
"Vigor Wine!" Xia Liu lightly sipped his red wine and spoke slowly.
Liu Lanxin's actions came to an abrupt halt.
What had she just heard? Vigor Wine!!!
She was still a pure little girl, how could she listen to such impure talk?
"What's wrong, do you feel unwell?" Seeing Liu Lanxin's mood change instantly, Xia Liu asked with concern.
"No, no." Liu Lanxin snapped back to reality in an instant, reminding herself in her heart that they were here to discuss business, not jokes!
"The idea of Vigor Wine is good, there are many fake wines on the market as well as many that don't work very well. If you can produce a wine with assured quality, it's sure to sell like crazy."
Although the topic made Liu Lanxin feel awkward and even somewhat hurt, she still had some understanding when it came to trends.
For instance, Tianluo Pharmaceutical also produced such medicinal products, but their effects were very minimal.
That's why many people didn't pay much attention to this kind of medicine.
Of course, not paying much attention didn't mean they weren't interested in it; it's well known that when America launched the first Viagra, it exploded in popularity across the globe.
One could imagine the frenzy if a Vigor Wine of guaranteed quality were to appear.
Its popularity would absolutely rival that of Beauty Mud!
And it might even have the chance to go beyond Huaxia and reach the whole world!
If it reached that level, it wouldn't just be about wealth, but more about honor.
Personal honor, family honor, national honor!
Xia Liu nodded in satisfaction; it seemed this gal was knowledgeable about various medicinal products.
The idea of Vigor Wine had only appeared in Xia Liu's mind recently.
As the village doctor, everyone knew of his exceptional medical skills, so a villager had sought him out secretly.
It was all to cure his condition of being a Quick Spear.
Though it was a bit embarrassing, Xia Liu examined the villager for a while, then prescribed a few herbs and cured him.
