There were many kinds of ginseng in this world. Common ginseng, American ginseng, red ginseng, purple ginseng, and wild ginseng. Amongst them, the rarest and most expensive of them all was none other than the purple ginseng.Moreover, ginseng itself had a lifespan, and most of them could not live for more than a hundred years. Therefore, if a ginseng plant was not picked, it could easily become a century-old ginseng or a few-hundred-year-old ginseng. After that, it would eventually come to an end.Any ginseng that could live for two or three hundred years was the best type of ginseng. Furthermore, any ginseng that could live for more than five hundred years was very precious and extremely rare. Some people who had been collecting ginseng for their entire life might not even have the chance to see it at all.As for the ginseng that was more than a thousand years old, it was even more valuable than anything. It almost only existed in legends, and it was really rare for anyone to take
When Anthony heard Ichiro’s open denial, he replied coldly, “I remember that you have three types of medicine that are marketed all over the world, namely the stomach powder, clear throat powder, and an eczema lotion. All of these three medicines originated from Chinese medication. One of it is from the Chinese physician, Zhang Zhongjing’s ‘Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases’, one of it is from ‘The Han Dynasty’s Medicinal Report’, and the last one is from the ‘Compendium of Materia Medical’. Am I right?”The expression on Ichiro’s face was a little ugly, but he continued denying it even at this time. “Dr. Simmons, are you joking? Those ancient Chinese pharmacopoeias one or two thousand years ago are basically rubbish without any clinical application and scientific basis at all. Why would such a big pharmaceutical company like Kobayashi Pharma use this kind of backward pharmacopoeias from one or two thousand years ago? This is really insulting!”When the other Chinese phy
After he was done speaking, Ichiro turned around and left immediately.At this time, Charlie said to Anthony, “This Japanese man seems a bit insidious. If he really thinks that you have the prescription for high-level paraplegia, you should be more careful. After all, once this magical pill is mass-produced, he would be able to gain absolute wealth in this world.”There was a movie called ‘I am not the God of Medicine’ not too long ago, and it was about a Chinese leukemia patient. Since he could not afford the extremely expensive medicine produced by Western cultures, he could only go to India to buy some imitation medication.Through this movie, you could actually see how black-hearted those large pharmaceutical groups could be just because they wanted to make some money. When a new drug was developed, a patient needed to spend at least twenty to thirty thousand dollars a month to afford the medication. What else could the patient do?Kobayashi Pharma also wanted to get their hand
Moreover, it was not that difficult to refine the Terminal Lucidity Pill.All that was needed was just some of the more common medicinal materials.As it was not time for the auction of the purple ginseng to begin yet, Charlie took advantage of this opportunity to look for Graham before he gave him a list of a dozen medicinal herbs and materials that he needed.Graham hurriedly gathered all of the medicinal herbs and materials for him.After that, Charlie went to the lounge that had been rented by Graham before refining four of the Terminal Lucidity Pill on the spot.Chinese medication was always made out of different medicinal herbs and materials. Therefore, after boiling the herbs, no matter what the medicine was for and no matter how different it was, the color of the medicine would still be dark brown.It was also the same for pills.The color of the Terminal Lucidity Pill was almost the same as the previous magical pill that he had concocted before this. Moreover, Charlie d
Jeffrey knew that if people continued bidding for the premium purple ginseng, the price of the purple ginseng would probably cost twenty to thirty million dollars in the end. Therefore, he simply doubled the price of the purple ginseng in the first bid just so that he could frighten some people away. He was also hoping that he would be able to take the purple ginseng away at a lower price instead!“Eleven million dollars.” A middle-aged man in the hall also shouted as he raised his placard.Jeffrey glanced at the man in disdain before he raised his placard again and said, “Fifteen million dollars.”“Sixteen million dollars.”Someone spoke up again.“Twenty-five million dollars,” Jeffrey yelled as he held up his placard again.In fact, Jeffrey was simply helping Kenneth to participate in the auction this time. Kenneth would be the one bearing the price of the bid today. Therefore, he did not feel distressed at all.The price of twenty-five million dollars made many people think o
Many people at the scene knew that Kenneth had once knelt before Charlie and had called him his father and grandfather. Therefore, they laughed out loud as soon as they heard Charlie’s words.Kenneth, not wanting to lose any more face, grit his teeth as he said, “Okay, then! You really have the guts! I will pay ninety million dollars for it!”Jeffrey tugged at his sleeves before he said, “Chairman Wilson, ninety million dollars is way too expensive for the purple ginseng! That thing is not worth that much money. Don’t act so impulsively and be fooled by that b*stard!”Ninety million dollars just to buy that purple ginseng?! No ginseng was worth that much money unless it was for a ginseng that was more than a thousand years old!Even though Kenneth was extremely rich, he was not an extravagant or wasteful person. He already felt a burn in his pocket when he had to spend fifteen million dollars just to have sexual intercourse with Wendy. Kenneth could really feel the hole in his wall
What if he had accidentally thrown the cheque into the washing machine to wash with his clothes?Oh my God! It was shocking for them to even think about it.Kenneth’s face twitched faintly in anger. He really did not understand why this piece of trash could actually have so much money. Wasn’t he just a useless son-in-law of the Wilson family?Charlie asked the host, “Since no one can outbid me and since I can afford to pay one hundred million dollars for it, the superb purple ginseng should belong to me now, right?”The host regained his senses and said immediately, “Now, I am going to announce that this three-hundred-year-old purple ginseng belongs to…”Before he could finish his sentence, Kenneth hurriedly said, “Stop! I am going to increase the bid now!”Everyone at the scene was shocked yet again.The auction had begun at five million dollars, and the bid was already at one hundred million dollars now. Was he really going to continue bidding and increasing the price?The pu
Everyone looked at Kenneth at this time.Kenneth felt very ashamed and annoyed, and he cursed out loud, “You are the impotent one! Your whole family is impotent! I am still very able and well!”Charlie smiled faintly before he said, “Whoever is impotent would know for themselves. Some people cannot get hard where they should and only have a hard mouth. What is the point in that?”Everyone laughed out loud at this time.Was it true? The famous and reputable Chairman Wilson had really lost his manhood?It seemed as though it was true. Otherwise, why would he try so hard to bid for a premium purple ginseng? Moreover, he was even here with Jeffrey from the Weaver family today.Everyone here today was people from the medical field. Everyone knew that the Weaver family was currently studying a new drug that could strengthen male virility and greatly restore a person’s manhood. It seemed as though the reason why Kenneth and Jeffrey were here together today was simply because Kenneth wan
