Li Chengzhi had brought back one and a half Revival Elixirs this ti; half a pill was used for living-body experints, another half was being analyzed for toxins in the laboratory, leaving only the half inside the White Jade Vase.
Having witnessed the efficacy of the Revival Elixir, Park Young-joon didn’t hesitate to search his chest for the White Jade Vase and opened the red silk stopper.
As he poured out half of the Revival Elixir, a refreshing and invigorating scent assaulted his senses instantly.
"President, please, for the sake of the Second Young Master’s filial piety, help him!"
With blood still dripping down his head, Li Chengzhi was not as dizzy anymore. He mustered the courage to speak, "The Revival Elixir was specifically entrusted by the Second Young Master to be delivered to you as soon as possible."
"He said, with the Revival Elixir, our Park Bio would be able to advance further, and it would not take long for us to sit at the apex of the world’s pharmaceutical companies!"
Looking at Li Chengzhi, Park Young-joon’s expression softened slightly, and he gestured to his assistant, "Give Secretary Li a towel."
"Yes!"
The assistant hurriedly nodded and passed a white towel over.
"Taiyu was caught by that Mo Han, and there’s even a video. If I don’t pay 50 billion, this guy would really expose the video. The loss for Park Bio would be calculated in the hundreds of billions."
"Moreover, the tax evasion and underreporting in Jiuzhou this ti is particularly colossal. Given the Jiuzhou officials’ usual stance, they will definitely not let Park Bio off easily. The lightest punishnt would be a hefty fine, with the most severe possibly being an order for Park Bio to leave the Jiuzhou market!"
"That’s just Jiuzhou. If Taiyu ends up exposing the behind-the-scenes chaebol forces to save his own life, Park Bio will have no way out!"
"Though 50 billion is a lot, it is rely Park Bio’s one year profit from costics in Jiuzhou. Actually, it is bearable."
After much deliberation in his mind, Park Young-joon eventually decided to pay the 50 billion in exchange for his son, Park Taiyu, and that video.
"Father!"
Seeing that his father seed to be swayed, Park Taixin, standing behind Park Young-joon, started to panic.
He had just witnessed the miraculous recovery of Li Mingchuan, who had been in the late stages of lung cancer, within just a few minutes. Originally, his father was sickly and not expected to live much longer, but now, with such a miraculous dicine, his father could probably live at least an extra decade or two if he took it.
This ant that his own plan to take control of Park Bio would fall through.
In his view, he was a secure step ahead of his younger brother in the race for succession.
Yet, with Park Taiyu bringing back such a miraculous dicine and considering its therapeutic effect, it was definitely a dical miracle. Should Park Bio manage to analyze its components and develop it, they could certainly recreate Hui Huang’s glory.
By then, Park Taiyu would beco the family’s honor, and he, Park Taixin, would end up at a disadvantage in the competition for heir, possibly even losing his qualification to inherit outright.
"Hmm?"
Noticing his eldest son speaking out, Park Young-joon turned his head, speaking sowhat displeased, "Taixin, what are your thoughts?"
"Father, the effects of the Revival Elixir are indeed extraordinary, but I suggest that you best not take it imdiately."
Park Taixin’s forehead dripped with cold sweat, "How about we first observe the cured Li Mingchuan and see..."
Narrowing his eyes, Park Young-joon murmured, "So how long do you suggest we observe? Three months, half a year, or one year?"
"At least half a year," Park Taixin swallowed hard, not daring to et his father’s eyes directly.
"Half a year? How can you even say such a thing?"
Park Young-joon spoke coldly, "It seems to that you’re just hoping for my demise so you can take over Park Group!"
"No... not at all!"
Park Taixin hurriedly explained, "I’m only thinking of your well-being, father. Who knows if there might be side effects later on. Perhaps..."
"Shut up!"
Park Young-joon interrupted his son aggressively, "Don’t think I don’t know what you’re plotting!"
"Playing those little tricks in front of is useless!"
"I’ve made up my mind, I’ll take the Revival Elixir today! Additionally, I will also spend 50 billion to ransom your brother back!"
With things having reached this point, Park Taixin knew that nothing he said would make a difference. He nodded, forced a bitter smile, and stepped back to the side.
Park Young-joon took a deep breath and dialed the number, "50 billion, I agree! But, I have conditions!"
"I will transfer 20 billion to you in one go, the remaining 30 billion will be sent after Taiyu returns to Goryeo, and only if the original files are without issues!"
From the other end of the phone ca Mo Han’s contemptuous laughter, "President Park, do you think you’re in a position to bargain with ?"
"50 billion, to be paid in one lump sum!"
"Oh, and let give you so good news. I’ve already edited the contents of the email. I just need to hit the send button now, and by tomorrow, your company Park’s Bioscience will be all over the financial headlines."
"Just a friendly reminder, it’s been over an hour already. You don’t have much ti left..."
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Park Young-joon was infuriated by Mo Han’s attitude, but unfortunately, his hands were tied as his weakness was being exploited.
After venting for a good while, Park Young-joon took another deep breath and cald down once more, "If you provide with the formula for the Revival Elixir, I will transfer the 50 billion all at once!"
"President Park says this, you must have gotten your hands on the Revival Elixir, and even conducted experints on it, right?"
Mo Han spoke indifferently, "To be honest with you, my master is the one who concocted the Elixir, and I don’t know the exact formula."
"However, so of the herbal dicines in the Revival Elixir were collected by . I can give you the nas of these herbs. As for the quantities and how to mix them, that will be up to you to figure out."
On the other end of the phone, Park Young-joon thought for a mont before nodding, "Alright!"
"You compile a list of the herbal dicines you know and send it to . I will arrange for the paynt to be made within ten minutes."
Mo Han smiled slightly, "Sorry, paynt cos before delivery."
"Damn it! Who does business like this!"
Park Young-joon said with suppressed anger, "Can’t we both step back a little and negotiate properly?"
"Sorry, I’m in the driver’s seat here, and you’re not in a position to negotiate with ."
Mo Han said calmly, "I will send you a bank account later. You transfer the 50 billion to that account, and once the paynt is confird, I’ll send you the list of dicines."
"As for your son Park Taiyu and that precious original file video, I will arrange for soone to deliver them to you in three days."
"Don’t try to negotiate with , because there’s no room for that! That’s my stance!"
Bang!
Having said that, Mo Han hung up the phone.
He Chen, who was beside him, watched in disbelief, "Mo... Mister Mo, is this how you do business? Aren’t you afraid it will fall through?"
"It’s not who’s afraid of it falling through; it’s them that are afraid."
Mo Han said with an amused smile, "Don’t worry, it won’t be long before Park Young-joon transfers the money."
As he spoke, he glanced at Park Taiyu, "Mr. Park Taiyu, wouldn’t you agree?"
