Phile shook his head, "No, far more. Of these thousand pills, five hundred will be sold normally, and five hundred will be auctioned. The final sales revenue should be between two hundred billion and three hundred billion US dollars."
Ye Tian smiled, "So, the supply price I give you can't be too low either."
"Of course, if both parties can make money, that's the way to long-term cooperation," Phile said with a smile.
Ye Tian: "Then let's say one hundred million US dollars per pill. You can keep the money from the auction."
Phile smiled, "Agreed. But I heard your company has even more advanced medicines."
Ye Tian: "Of course, we do. There's a pill that, when taken once every five years, can extend one's lifespan to over two hundred years."
Phile became instantly excited. He had taken countless medications to reach his current age. He asked, "Are there any side effects?"
Ye Tian shook his head, "No, even if there are, they are very minor and not worth mentioning."
Phile took a deep breath, "Name your price for this pill, and I'll take as much as you have!"
Ye Tian: "The quantity is limited. I can only supply you with fifty pills per year. Mr. Phile, what do you think such a pill is worth?"
Phile took a deep breath and said, "From my perspective, I would be willing to spend thirty percent of my fortune to acquire it!"
He pondered for a moment, "If it were auctioned, its price would not be less than ten billion US dollars. However, the number of people globally qualified to take it would not exceed three hundred. Only those at the pinnacle of power or possessing wealth beyond measure could consume it."
Ye Tian: "Then I'll supply it to you at ten billion US dollars per pill. Fifty pills would be five hundred billion US dollars. If you can sell them for a trillion, that's your skill."
Phile chuckled, "I am very grateful!"
Ye Tian: "We are currently developing an even more extraordinary drug. It can allow humans to surpass their physical limits, live to five to six hundred years or even longer, and only requires administration once every few decades or even a century."
Phile's eyes lit up, "Sir, when can this pill be available?"
Ye Tian looked at him and smiled, "You seem quite eager?"
Phile sighed softly, "My father is already one hundred and thirty-seven years old, and his health is very poor. He is kept alive almost entirely by machines. If this pill were available, he could regain his youthful appearance and vitality!"
Ye Tian: "The quantity of this pill is limited, so the price..."
"Please rest assured, no matter how high the price, we will accept it!"
Although he said to name his price, Ye Tian knew he couldn't be too outrageous. He said, "One hundred billion US dollars per pill, and I can only supply you with three pills annually."
Phile smiled, "You are truly a generous person. Others might ask for five hundred billion, or even a trillion."
Ye Tian: "We are doing long-term business, a steady stream."
Phile smiled, "Our family, starting from my grandfather, has been collecting clues related to longevity. We currently possess some very valuable materials. If Mr. Ye needs them, I can share them."
Ye Tian: "Is that so? That would be excellent."
They talked for over an hour, and Mr. Phile took his leave. Ye Tian saw him to the door.
Upon his return, Lin Ziyi said, "Brother Tian, if we hand over the business to the Phile family, what about Lingyan?"
Ye Tian smiled, "That's easy. Lingyan will be responsible for all future dealings with the Phile family. She will receive a ten percent profit commission annually."
Han Lingyan, who had been feeling a bit dejected, quickly waved her hands upon hearing this, "Ten percent profit is too high, I can't accept it."
Lin Ziyi: "Lingyan, this business was originally yours. Consider this compensation. Don't be polite."
Ye Tian: "Yes, the business with the Phile family is very important, and it requires your dedicated attention."
Lin Ziyi: "Brother Tian, with such a large transaction volume annually, we should register a company in a tax-free region."
Han Lingyan: "Yes, that will save us a considerable amount in taxes."
Ye Tian: "Alright, you two handle this matter."
Lin Ziyi: "The terms offered by the Phile family are very attractive, but I feel we aren't gaining much more benefit. So why cooperate with them?"
