Chapter 98 The New Year
Time always passes by inadvertently. Before I know it, it is the end of the year, and we are about to usher in the 18th year of Tianyuan.
The 17th year of Tianyuan was a turbulent year. If we add the 16th year of Tianyuan, these two years were probably the most turbulent years in recorded history.
So many things have happened in the past two years. From the discovery of the Xuanhuang World, to the discovery of the Hetu World, as well as global voyages and great discoveries in astronomy and geography.
In addition, various conflicts and even wars emerged one after another, all the way to the North-South World War, and finally the slogan "One World, Two Groups" was raised.
Especially in recent months, there has been a global plague. This is really exciting.
In fact, people of insight were very worried about the outbreak of a super war that would destroy the world. However, the emergence of the plague, or to be precise, the emergence of 'world-destroying flying insects', made things turn for the better.
Finally, the war was contained before it broke out, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief. But the subsequent plague really shocked everyone.
Fortunately, Dayang Group finally came up with a solution before things got out of hand.
More than two months have passed. With the efforts of Zhongcheng Pharmaceutical, the plague around the world has been effectively controlled.
Yes, it is only effective control for the time being, and it cannot be called ‘extinguishing’. Because Zhou Xueyao’s research can only contain the germs, but cannot directly kill them. To kill the germs, you must also rely on the body’s immunity.
Under such circumstances, infections still exist. However, the danger level of the plague has also been reduced from 'world-destroying level' to 'ordinary influenza level'. At this moment, most people have regarded this plague as a
There's a different kind of cold.
However, behind such results, there is another game. That is, the distribution and sale of the antidote, etc.
Zhongcheng Pharmaceutical is a pharmaceutical factory established specifically to deal with the plague. It is probably the first professional pharmaceutical factory in the world.
Everything in the factory is only used to produce 'antidote' for the plague, which is now officially named 'antidote'. Antidote is available in many forms, including pills, injections, oral liquids, hanging bottles, etc. Targeted at different age groups (
Such as teenagers, adults), different cultivation levels, different physical constitutions, etc., there are already detailed classifications of antidotes.
But all the ingredients of antidotes come from marine life. This has also caused the international prices of marine drugs and monster materials to rise a lot.
However, for representatives of all parties, what matters most to them is not the price, but the 'equity' - Zhongcheng Pharmaceutical does not distribute medicines for free. In order to ensure the good operation and long-term future of the factory, the antidote is sold for a fee.
It's just that the price is not high and the profit is very low. Basically, it is still within the scope of charity and cannot be completely considered as a commercial scope.
However, the problem lies in the distribution rights. The sale of the antidote is not a 'bid sale', let alone a free sale, but is divided according to the equity. When the factory directly ships the goods, it is apportioned according to the equity and the payment is paid.
If you want more, you won’t have it; if you want less, you won’t have it!
Of course, everyone actually wants more. Those who want less or don’t want have yet to meet them.
But here comes the problem. Even more than two months later, patients within the Xuanhuang Group still account for about 30% of all patients in the world; and Xuanhuang Group only holds 16.41% of the shares of Zhongcheng Pharmaceutical.
To put it simply, Xuanhuang Group has a shortfall of about 50% in antidotes - in fact, Zhongcheng Pharmaceutical's production capacity is not enough and can only meet about half of the market demand; that is to say, Xuanhuang Group actually has a shortfall of about 70% to 75%.
Antidote!
Zhongcheng Pharmaceutical's participation is allocated based on equity, so the antidote that Xuanhuang Group lacks can only be purchased from other 'shareholders'.
And these so-called other shareholders are mainly from strategic alliances such as Dayang Group and Qixia Kingdom.
Take Dayang Group as an example. Because Dayang Group promotes the scientific concept of development under its governance, it responds in a timely manner. This results in generally fewer and milder cases of disease within Dayang Group.
The patients treated by Dayang Group account for about 3% of the world's patients, but Dayang Group owns 21.795% of the shares of Zhongcheng Pharmaceutical.
About 15% of the antidotes within the Dayang Group are rich - and the Dayang Group's ally, Xinglintang itself, has the ability to produce them.
What to do with the extra antidote? This is medicine, not elixir, and cannot be taken randomly, so it can only be sold. However, if it is resold, it will be a different price.
However, for this kind of medicine that is related to the lives of the majority of people around the world, it would be bad to directly raise the price. Dayang Group will not tarnish the reputation it has worked hard to build for such a small amount of money. Even this kind of thing, under the rule of Dayang Group
It is best for the public not to participate.
But if it is sold at such a low price, it will be too cheap for the Xuanhuang Group, as well as those neutralists (weeds), and those who are vaguely hostile to Dayang Group.
Fortunately, Dayang Group also has a solution - give it away for free!
Yes, you read it right, Dayang Group will give it away for free. However, there are conditions. You must come to Dayang Group in person to receive it.
The Ocean Group currently has three main pieces of land: the mainland of Fertile Continent, the territory located to the northwest of Taotu Continent, and the land located on West Kunlun.
Currently, Dayang Group is planning to establish a principality in the land of West Kunlun. As mentioned earlier, Dayang Group's development model is only a vine type. Dayang Group is the vine itself, and the melons hanging on the vines are satellite countries.
Okay, I'm going too far. In short, Dayang Group currently has three major pieces of land. If you want to get the antidote for free, please come and collect it. We have given it for free, so you can't let us deliver it to your door.
In fact, these antidotes are distributed to the public for free within Dayang Group. In Dayang Group's own words - the usual taxation is just for the present, to serve the people.
In short, taking advantage of this plague, Dayang Group once again refreshed its moral standards to a new height.
However, what is free is the most expensive - especially for outsiders.
The people under the rule of Dayang Group will feel excited and proud. Dayang Group has gained a wave of public support. But in other countries and holy places, it is another matter.
If you want to come to Dayang Group to 'receive' the antidote for free, you must first come to Dayang Group - you can't let Dayang Group pay for the travel expenses!
Secondly, when you come to Dayang Group, why don’t you live on the street? Ordinary people can forget about it, but the people who are sick this time are at the Golden Core stage at their lowest cultivation level, and they are always a bit weak. Living on the street will have a bad impact.
Also, you are all suffering from the plague. When you come to the control area of Dayang Group, how can you be allowed to run around and easily cause panic?
But even so, everyone is still flocking to it because the price of antidote is not cheap - to obtain medicinal materials from the ocean and then extract the useful ingredients, it takes an average of tens of kilograms of medicinal materials to extract the amount for one person.
In addition, different cultivation levels require different levels of medicinal materials, so the cost price can be regarded as "expensive" - the minimum is 2 spirit yuan, which is 20,000 low-grade spirit stones.
For ordinary people, this is a huge sum of money; even for Jindanqi, it is almost everyone’s net income for three to five months. This is because the business atmosphere has been good in the past few years, and it is relatively easy to make money.
Anyway, those who are sick this time are at the lowest Golden Elixir level, so they always have some savings - if not, they can take out loans or pay on credit.
In short, the antidotes currently sold by officials around the world, except for Dayang Group, Qixia Country, are free, and Tiandu Sect is half price, Mingjiao, Liang Dynasty, Xianyin Sect, and Xuanzhen Sect are all sold at low prices - you still have to pay for management and transportation.
cost.
Most of the rest are sold at a premium. Some of them are ruthless, or some villains have taken advantage of them, so the price is hard to say.
However, if you come to Dayang Group to get it for free, the total travel expenses, accommodation fees, etc. can basically be controlled within 1.5 spiritual yuan - in total, Dayang Group still has to lose money.
However, since you have come to Dayang Group, can you go back empty-handed? Travel expenses and accommodation are just that, you have to eat and drink.
Also, Dayang Group has many private practice guidance classes, as well as various science popularization education classes, as well as all kinds of fun and useful things. Dayang Group has the cheapest industrialized spiritual materials, magic weapons, etc., if you want
Don't want some?
When you come to the prosperous area of Dayang Group, there are really not many people who don't donate generously.
If you have withstood the temptation, someone will whisper: The single crystal spiritual materials and various elixirs here in your Dayang Group are all at wholesale prices. Even if you don't use these things, you can buy some and sell them locally.
Ah, or give it to relatives.
However, for Dayang Group, the biggest benefit is not this, but - talents from all over the world are flowing to Dayang Group again. The talents, reputation, etc. gathered by Dayang Group in this process are the biggest gains.
It's just that Dayang Group is doing this, and of course others have opinions.
For example, now, many representatives have come together. After more than two months of influence, everyone finally mustered up the courage. Under the instigation of Xuanhuang Group, a large number of neutral people, as well as those who are not friendly to Dayang Group, came to our door.
.
But at this time, Zhang Hao was discussing with the emissary from Tiandu, Elder Gu Changfeng, about Hua Baixiang's marriage - now the war in the Xuanhuang world should be considered over, right? Mr. Zhang, you said it before,
After the war, we got married!
After all, Hua Baixiang is the left guardian of our Tiandu sect, one of the top leaders. If you continue to maintain the current relationship, the Tiandu sect will not look good. This is said in a rather vague way, but the general meaning is this.
"Let's celebrate the New Year." Zhang Hao finally made a decision. It's already mid-December and he's been busy for so long, so it's good to celebrate the New Year.
After receiving a positive answer, Gu Changfeng left.
Zhang Hao then met with representatives from all parties. After briefly listening to everyone's opinions, Zhang Hao made a decision directly: "Well, it was agreed at the beginning that Zhongcheng Pharmaceutical's shares will be listed.
So on the first day of the new year, Dayang Group will officially sell its shares in Zhongcheng Pharmaceutical.
Chapter completed!
