Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Get Together_1
“Speak up.” The three women rarely spoke in unison.
If this problem could be solved, then the matter would be well handled. They only needed to follow protocol and they would earn astonishing profits.
Xu Yixue was under even more pressure with a bet made with her family. Have the family’s industry in Zhonghai City double within six months. Now, nearly a month had passed, and while Xinghai Media Company had already improved significantly, they were still far from that target.
She was aware that the bet was obviously meant to constrain her; it was only because of the family head Xu Xuanyi’s face that she was given this half-year respite. But after six months, things would still be the same. After all, it was a bet that was impossible to fulfill.
Knowing it was deliberate difficulty, Xu Yixue still gritted her teeth and accepted the challenge because she didn’t want to live a life she wouldn’t like and couldn’t bear to leave Tongtong behind.
Therefore, she bore immense pressure, constantly pushing herself to strive towards that goal.
Initially, she harbored little hope, which could even be described as slim, but the smallest hope is still hope.
However, owing to Xu Fan’s change of heart and comeback, Xu Yixue’s hopes began to blaze more intensely.
As long as Xu Fan was by her side, miracles would become commonplace.
An impossible bet would see a favorable turning point.
Xu Fan said, “We can find replacements for Red Profound Wood and Ink Mist Grass. Although the effect will be much weaker, the cost can be greatly reduced.”
“How much weaker, specifically?” The three women couldn’t help but worry.
“About five percent of the current medicinal effect.”
“That’s not too bad.”
Having five percent of the medicinal effect was already quite good. With multiple uses, the cumulative effect would still achieve a decent outcome.
Chen Shiyu calculated, “If it takes ten minutes for the original ointment to remove scars, using this weakened version of the beauty cream could remove scars in three to four hours, which is still quite impressive.”
Xu Fan couldn’t help but laugh, “Aren’t you oversimplifying things? The efficacy of medicine can’t just be linearly superimposed. Its weakening isn’t just about time, but also includes the overall effect. Thus, I estimate it will take a month to see results, two months to achieve what the original does in ten minutes. Of course, the cost has been reduced a lot, just two to three hundred to produce a bottle.”
“Hmph!”
Being told by Xu Fan that she was oversimplifying, Chen Shiyu rolled her eyes, thinking to herself that me, a beauty like her, couldn’t possibly be simple-minded?
But medicinal efficacy indeed couldn’t be simply added up linearly, so she had no argument.
Xu Yixue pondered over these words and analyzed rationally, “If it can completely remove scars in two months, that would be astonishing and enough to sweep the entire market. After all, the skincare products currently available can’t compare to yours.”
“Of course, we can’t give up on the original. The effect of the original is so amazing it has an absolutely eye-catching impact. Immediate results, perfect for advertising promotions, virtually unbeatable. Those upper-class people who aren’t short on money will naturally favor the original.”
“Therefore, we should release two products. This original one, aimed at the top tier of society, with the price set as you mentioned. The weakened version aimed at the general female population, not neglecting any market segment.”
“In doing so, no one in the skincare industry will be able to compete with us, and we will completely dominate the market.”
Xu Yixue’s comprehensive thinking made Xu Fan nod repeatedly in agreement and he immediately concurred, “Xue’er, you’ve made good points. Let’s do it this way.”
Chen Shiyu and Ye Xiaoning also nodded in agreement. Only with such an approach could they maximize profits while taking the market into account.
Having set the general direction, Xu Fan also began contacting the entire list for the complete industrial chain plan. He called Lu Chennong, Cui Dong, Lin Yaoshi, and Black Dragon, arranging to meet at the Junlin Grand Hotel. He didn’t specify what the meeting was about, after all, it couldn’t be explained in a few words.
Xu Fan’s initiative to invite them surprised the recipients, but they were more than willing to accept.
Lin Yaoshi chuckled. He was responsible for contacting the herbal medicine suppliers for Xu Fan and had some idea about the matter. Furthermore, Xu Fan had said that he would have samples ready by the evening and promised to give him a surprise. It seemed promising results had been achieved.
Well, he was looking forward to the evening coming quickly.
…
At the entrance of the Junlin Grand Hotel.
Sun Lihua had arrived early and was waiting at the entrance by 7:30 pm. He still remembered the last time Li Yecai provoked Xu Fan by challenging the special forces Xu Fan had recruited. This time, he wouldn’t allow such an incident to happen again. Last time, it was just Xu Fan and his men, but this time, if Xu Fan brought relatives and friends, and if anyone dared to offend them, Xu Fan probably would not let it go, potentially creating a scene like the one that happened at the Jun Tian Grand Hotel.
Every time he thought about how Xu Fan created chaos at the Jun Tian Grand Hotel, his mood became very cheerful.
The Qin Family and the Sun Family rivaled one another, even the names of their hotels were in competition: his was the Junlin Grand Hotel, and the Qin Family’s was the Jun Tian Grand Hotel, as if to surpass his own.
Therefore, he didn’t have much fondness for the Qin Family.
Guests entering and leaving the hotel were surprised and curious to see Sun Lihua, the owner himself, waiting at the door.
With Sun Lihua’s status, even the head of the Sun Family demanded respect, arguably a big figure in Zhonghai City. He was known for his sense of justice and strong gangster-like presence, hence many people wished to be associated with him. But there were only a few who could make him wait at the entrance to greet them.
People speculated who could be so prominent to warrant such deference from Sun Lihua.
For a while, many people stayed in the lobby, eagerly awaiting to catch a glimpse of the coming guest.
And in Zhonghai City, the highest standard hotels were none other than Jun Tian and Junlin, which meant esteemed and affluent people frequented these establishments, all distinguished in their own right.
After waiting for nearly ten minutes, a luxury car came speeding from the distance, pulling up in the parking lot. As the car door opened, a man in his thirties, tall and burly with a distinct chiseled face, dressed in a suit, got out with an impressive demeanor.
This man was none other than the owner of the Night Castle, Black Dragon, also known as Brother Long.
Two muscular bodyguards in black followed closely on either side of Black Dragon, their eyes sharp and fierce, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
“Big bro, this suit is really uncomfortable. Wouldn’t it be better to wear a vest and shorts? Why the whole suit?” The bodyguard on the left was obviously not used to his attire restricting his movements.
“Yeah, big bro, we’re the ones who do the chopping, not the snobbish dandies. And it’s just the three of us? Shouldn’t we call some brothers for backup?” The other bodyguard voiced his insecurity.
“Stop your whining. We’re here for a meeting, not a fight. Just relax, both of you.”
With a snort, Black Dragon warned, “The person we’re meeting this time is very important, so don’t make a fool of yourselves. Even if it’s uncomfortable, you’ll just have to bear with it. Besides, I haven’t complained, so why are you two starting to make a fuss? How does that look?”

Ahua and Abin quickly changed the subject, asking eagerly, “Big bro, who are we meeting that you’re making such a big deal about it?”
“Hehe, don’t worry, it’s someone we know, someone you’ve met before. The one who took his kid to the zoo,” Brother Long said with a meaningful smile.
Hearing this, Ahua and Abin instantly turned a few shades paler…
