Chapter 133 - Churning out gold (1)

Li WangJin gritted his teeth but sold 5% of his stock anyway. He thought hed at least be able to get 2B yuan from that, but he was only able to fetch 1.5B yuan.

Li WangJin was infuriated. In fact, he had a canker sore from being so angry. The physical and mental pain had prevented him from having a good nights rest for days.

And the other party felt very justified.

Little brother Li, you ought to know that Ayron now is not the same as Ayron from a year ago. Your company has had so much negative publicity as of late and the stock price has dropped. Its unrealistic to want to sell your stock at what it used to be worth. I am already offering you a very decent price because we are friends.

As far as Li WangJin was concerned, the other party was merely taking advantage of the situation that he was currently in. Yet he desperately needed money to invest and turnaround, so even though he knew full well that he was being taken advantage of, he had no choice but to go along with it.

He comforted himself. Once he started making money from the Beautify Pills, he would never again be friendly to him even if he came crawling to him and begged.

Things could turn around in a very short period of time, and his days would come sooner or later.

As furious as he was, he still transferred his stock.

Once he had gotten hold of the money and after some more difficulties, he was finally able to secure the formula for the Beautify Pills.

Looking at the formula, Li WangJin couldnt help but laugh out loud.

He couldnt wait to head over to Zhang Bi and handed him the formula. As a pharmaceutical family, the Zhangs background wasnt something that he could measure up to. As soon as they have both formula and the capital in hand, the factory launched into action immediately.

The first batch was completed quickly. He quickly calculated the cost of it. As they were only making a small batch, the cost would naturally be higher. Even so, a box of Beautify Pills only cost about 30 yuan. Less than 100 yuan even after cost and labor. Fang JunRong had been selling them for 888 yuan a box. That was like highway robbery.

Li WangJin tsked. He was excited. As hot as the Beautify Pills were, a million boxes a year would not be a dream if they didnt put a cap on it. That was like churning out gold.

Next month would be Chinas Shopping Festival month.* They would be able to crank out a batch before then and put them on the market. Even though there was only two weeks left, if they hurry, that should not be an issue.

*(T/N: 11/11 is China is like our Black Friday.)

As it was the Shopping Festival, then they could launch it with a series of promotional discounts. Same products, but cheaper than Fang JunRongs, the customers would know how to choose.

The idea of it made Li WangJin restless. After a discussion with the Zhangs, they have decided to name the product the Cherry Blossom Pills, as in users would have cherry blossom-like skin.

The test result from the Zhangs had come back. The ingredients were very similar to that of Fang JunRongs Beautify Pills. They had clinical trials as well and users did observe whitening of skin after consuming the product.

All of the sudden, both families were very excited. They could already see mountains of silver and gold piling up in front of them. Zhang Bi, who had made this happen, had risen in status among the Zhangs and he was high spirited.

Zhang Bi and Li WangJin had common language when it came to badmouthing Fang JunRong. One of them would say that Fang JunRong was vile and vicious and the other one would call her manipulative. They felt like they could read each others mind and only wished they could become brothers.

Zhang Bi even wanted to introduce his own sister to Li WangJin. He expressed that his sister was age-appropriate for Li WangJin, tender and virtuous, and decent looking. If they were to form a marriage alliance, they could further solidify their relationship.

The Zhangs status was there for all to see. Li WangJin was very tempted. Recalling how the Dengs had snubbed him and that even the Zhangs were reaching out their olive branch to him. He had certainly come a long way.
