Chapter 114: Chapter 112: Unacceptable

Jiang Zhongming walked in with his men. "Mr. Lin, we’ll add another hundred million. What do you think?"

"One hundred million is too little. There are eight companies in total, so it should be 1.6 billion. Two hundred million per company is just right."

"Impossible! That’s far too much!"

Lin Feng said with an exaggerated expression, "In that case, there’s nothing more to discuss. I’ve decided I don’t want you to research it anymore."

Jiang Zhongming said urgently, "You can’t do that! We signed a temporary contract and have already shipped over our personnel and equipment.

If you back out now, you’ll have to compensate us for our losses."

"That’s not my fault. I originally intended to cooperate with just your company, but now so many others have gotten involved.

You should seek compensation from them. It has nothing to do with me. If it weren’t for them, our research would have been finished long ago."

"We’ll add another hundred million. Four hundred million total, that should be enough, right?"

"No. One billion! If you can offer one billion, I’ll agree to cooperate."

"Five hundred million. That’s the highest price we can offer and the bottom line our companies have given us.

If you don’t agree, then we’ll have no choice but to give up on this collaboration."

Jiang Zhongming watched Lin Feng’s expression shift. Lin Feng looked like he wanted the money but was also worried.

"Mr. Lin, weren’t you very confident at the beginning? If we don’t succeed in deciphering the formula, you’ll have gained five hundred million US dollars for practically nothing."

"Hold on, let me think about it for a moment."

Seeing the look in Lin Feng’s eyes, Hu Zhiming, who was standing nearby, interjected, "Brother Lin, I think we should just forget it. We can earn this much just by selling the medicine.

Nowadays, researching a single new drug costs at least two billion US dollars."

"That’s right. Our medicine is very effective against minor inflammation, it’s good for the lungs, and it can even completely cure chronic bronchitis.

If they really manage to decipher it and start producing this drug, we’ll definitely be the ones losing out."

"Right, right. No matter how you look at it, it’s not a good deal. I say we just drop it."

Lin Feng said hesitantly, "But five hundred million US dollars is a lot of money. With that, I could really develop Lin Xian Village."

"To develop Lin Xian Village, we could just get a loan from the bank using the medicine as collateral..."

Jiang Zhongming quickly cut him off. "Mr. Lin, a bank loan is never as good as your own money. You always have to pay back the bank.

How about this: we’ll add another hundred million. This is our absolute final offer. If this doesn’t work, we’re really calling it off."

Lin Feng looked at the other party, then glanced to his side. He saw Hu Zhiming give him a hand signal and understood he could push for more.

"No. Eight hundred million US dollars. One hundred million per company. If you don’t agree, we can forget it."

Jiang Zhongming didn’t speak, but instead looked at the others. This matter required their approval.

Someone checked their phone. "Alright, eight hundred million US dollars it is. We need to sign the contract and begin the experiment immediately."

"Fine. As soon as you transfer the money, you can start the experiment."

Jiang Zhongming breathed a sigh of relief. "Then let’s sign the contract. Our equipment and personnel can’t just wait here forever."

"Alright. The moment the money is wired, I’ll let you begin the experiment."

To avoid any unexpected complications and to quickly obtain the formula through the experiment, Jiang Zhongming had someone bring over a revised contract right away.

"A pleasure doing business with you."

"A pleasure doing business with you."

Looking at the money that had already been transferred into his account, Lin Feng felt an incredible sense of relief. He wouldn’t have to worry about money for a long, long time.

Once the contract was signed, Jiang Zhongming led his people and equipment into the site to prepare for the experiment.

"Don’t you go saying I cheated you. You brought the materials, you chose the location, and you picked the personnel.

If you can’t find the reason after the research results are in, you can’t blame me."

"Don’t worry. If we can’t figure it out, that’s our problem."

On a wide, open plot of land, the entire surrounding area had been cleared. A large number of researchers were currently running tests on the environment.

The array of different equipment was dazzling, and various cameras had been set up nearby to record the entire process.

Hu Xia watched the scene on the site and asked worriedly, "Lin Feng, can they really not detect it?"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "You can ask Daoist Feng and Shiyun. They’re the real experts on this."

Daoist Feng said, "It’s useless. They simply don’t understand. This medicine is just like that Arrow Tower—a complete waste of their effort."

Actually, he and his master had long suspected this, but unfortunately, experiments with other medicines didn’t produce the same results.

This made them suspect a connection between the medicine and the special environment of Lin Xian Village, but they couldn’t be certain.

Of course, others also suspected it was related to the special environment in Lin Xian Village. However, their results were the same: they found that other medicines produced in Lin Xian Village showed no special effects at all.

Apparently, this group of foreigners was probably aware of this too, but they had more faith in their own scientific research capabilities.

They believed that the people of Hua Country couldn’t decipher it simply because they lacked the ability, and they looked down on Hua Country’s medical research institutions.

Under these conditions, with comprehensive monitoring from every angle and perfect data collection, they refused to believe they couldn’t find the cause.

"How is it? Are all the data tests complete? Don’t miss a single thing."

"We’ve already run the most precise tests and analyzed the surrounding environment. There are absolutely no omissions."

Jiang Zhongming walked over to Lin Feng, who was standing in the distance. "Mr. Lin, we’re about to begin. This formula is enough to change the world. Thank you for your gift, Mr. Lin."

"We really should thank Mr. Lin. Perhaps we should propose Mr. Lin for the next Nobel Peace Prize."

"Mr. Lin is truly generous and noble. On behalf of all patients, I thank you for your contribution."

"..."

Lin Feng was speechless. These people were already mocking him before the results were even out.

"Well, thank you so much. I hope you can keep those smiles on your faces."

"Begin the experiment! Everyone to your stations! Don’t miss any data."

Under the watchful eye of the researchers and their equipment, Guo Hao took the medicinal herbs out of their sealed containers and began to process them.

Although it wasn’t his first time doing this, he still felt a little nervous, but his hands moved quickly.

In just over ten minutes, he had finished brewing the Medicinal Tea and stepped aside.

The other group, researching the pill form, was much slower, mainly because the powder had to be processed on-site.

"The Medicinal Tea is ready! Hurry and take it over for testing. Record all the data in detail."

At the same time, the Medicinal Tea brewed by their own people, who had mimicked Guo Hao’s every move, was also taken over for testing.

"Brother Lin, these guys are real professionals!"

"Of course they’re professional. They’re all senior researchers from top labs. Amateurs wouldn’t even get in."

Not far away, the representatives from Hua Country’s pharmaceutical companies watched the actions of these foreigners with very strange expressions.

’If this could actually work, we would have figured out the secret to the formula long ago.’

"These guys are professional, sure, but I have a feeling they’re not going to succeed."

"It’s not just a feeling. They absolutely will not succeed. Our own people once brewed it right inside that Medicine House and still failed."

"But these guys are actually helping us. If they fail, it proves the problem isn’t with the medicine itself."

After saying this, he looked toward Lin Feng. ’The current situation in Lin Xian Village is definitely related to him.’

They suspected that the methods this guy used were related to metaphysics—something science currently had no way of explaining.

It was mainly the Arrow Tower in Lin Xian Village, those miraculous Jade Grapes, and now the changes in the environment—it was all just too strange.

The fact that those scientists had researched it until now with zero results was proof enough.

"Oh my God! Impossible! Why is it that under the exact same conditions, one medicine is effective and the other is useless?"

Jiang Zhongming and the group of representatives waiting for the results looked as if they had been struck by lightning, completely unable to accept this outcome.
