Top-tier Unruly Master

"How much we choose to sell for is none of your business!" Ding Fan stepped forward, his face full of disdain.

"You..." Kojima Saburou's face turned distinctly ugly.

After all, Kojima was a man of some standing, and being verbally attacked so vulgarly in front of so many people, he couldn't possibly tolerate it.

However, with so many reporters present, he found it inconvenient to lose his temper.

Seeing Ding Fan, Hu Jin, who had been anxious, finally felt relieved. With Ding Fan stepping in, she didn't have to worry about the rest. Ding Fan had resolved many crises for the company before.

However, Ding Fan's use of vulgar language right from the start upset Kojima, which made Hu Jin feel it was somewhat inappropriate, as Ding Fan was the company's CEO and it wasn't good to burst out like that in front of so many people.

Even though she knew it wasn't right, Hu Jin felt it was quite satisfying.

The price dispute over the ultimate Pill originated from Kojima Saburou. It was clear that he was targeting their Pill specifically.

"My savior! Is it really you?" Just then, a scene that no one could have imagined occurred.

Dyna, a director of the World Red Cross Society, saw Ding Fan and approached him, full of gratitude.

Ding Fan naturally saw Dyna too.

Back in the day, Ding Fan had saved Dyna's boyfriend. Speaking of which, Dyna's boyfriend was quite a character, a vampire who had passed out due to the direct sunlight.

Latter, Ding Fan revived Dyna's boyfriend using Silver Needle. At that time, Dyna had given Ding Fan her card, and he then knew she was from the World Red Cross Society.

"Hello," Ding Fan greeted Dyna very politely.

My savior?

Kojima Saburou furrowed his brows tightly.

Kojima Saburou knew Ding Fan's identity—his own brother had been arrested because of Ding Fan, so he knew Ding Fan was the CEO of Jiangyuan Pharmaceutical Factory.

Kojima Saburou's targeting of the Pill and Jiangyuan Pharmaceutical Factory was primarily to seek revenge on Ding Fan.

But what Kojima Saburou hadn't anticipated was how Ding Fan could possibly be Dyna's savior?

To keep in mind, the World Red Cross Society held significant clout; Kojima Saburou had gone to great lengths to try to win them over. Now, in a blink of an eye, Ding Fan had become Dyna's savior. This development was a bit troublesome.

While Kojima Saburou was shocked, Hu Jin was also very confused.

Dyna represented the World Red Cross Society, and she did not understand how Ding Fan had become Dyna's benefactor.

"Director Dyna, do you know this person?" Kojima Saburou then asked.

Dyna nodded. "A friend of mine had a strange illness, and if it weren't for this Doctor, my friend would probably be dead by now."

With that, Dyna bowed deeply to Ding Fan again. "My savior, thank you."

The scene of Dyna bowing and thanking Ding Fan was directly recorded by all present.

To know, Dyna was, after all, a director of the World Red Cross Society. Such a figure bowing and thanking Ding Fan and even calling him a Doctor, was enough for Ding Fan to be admired by others.

Meanwhile, Hu Jin looked on, stunned.

This Ding Fan really did manage to surprise everyone. Without even realizing it, he had secured the favor of a World Red Cross Society director.

At this time, Kojima was also staring, stunned. He had not expected that with Dyna's status, she would bow and pay respects to Ding Fan in front of so many media.

Ding Fan waved his hand lightly. "It was just a reflex; do not be too concerned about it."

Ding Fan was casual and gracious, and Dyna was sincerely thankful. This photo quickly became iconic.

"I wonder, friend, what relation do you have with Jiangyuan Pharmaceutical Factory?"

Kojima then directly asked.

Kojima obviously knew Ding Fan's identity; his main reason for asking was because he wanted Dyna to understand Ding Fan's identity and subsequently understand his own stance.

Nonchalantly, Ding Fan said, "I am the CEO of Jiangyuan Pharmaceutical Factory."

Ding Fan had recently made many media appearances, so many reporters recognized him.

"My savior... you... you are the CEO of Jiangyuan Pharmaceutical Factory?"

At this, Dyna opened her eyes wide, seemingly unable to believe it.

Initially, Ding Fan had helped Dyna's friend without charging a single cent for medical expenses, and Dyna had always regarded Ding Fan with great admiration. Dyna had not expected that Ding Fan was actually the general manager of Jiangyuan Pharmaceutical Factory, which was currently being scrutinized.

Ding Fan nodded his head. "Yes, that's right, I am."

Having said that, Ding Fan walked up to the podium where a microphone was set up, and he directly picked up the microphone.

"There is a lot of discussion about the price of the ultimate version of Pill right now, but I am not here today to argue with everyone whether the ingredients are worth this amount or not. Everyone knows the effects of the Pill. If the Pill were useless, then there wouldn't be so many people coming to Dancheng Party to buy it."

As soon as Ding Fan appeared, a director from the Red Cross Society bowed in greeting, so when Ding Fan spoke, the entire scene was very quiet. Everyone was listening to what Ding Fan was about to say.

"Now let me talk about the method of refinement for the Pill," Ding Fan said very calmly.

Refinement method?!

Hearing what Ding Fan had said, the audience was shocked. They knew that what Ding Fan was about to reveal were serious business secrets, yet Ding Fan was ready to disclose these secrets in front of so many people.

Hu Jin also frowned slightly. However, she did not say anything; she trusted Ding Fan, believing he had his reasons for everything he did.

Ding Fan continued to speak.

"First, let's talk about the herbs required for refining the ultimate version of the Pill. These herbs include Nine-tailed Herb, Dragon Bone Flower, White Clover..."

Ding Fan was seriously listing the names of the herbs in front of all the media.

Xiao Dao's brow slightly furrowed at this point, knowing well that these recipes were corporate secrets, and he really did not understand why Ding Fan was so readily disclosing all these formulas.

Even now, Xiao Dao was beginning to doubt the authenticity of the names of the herbs that Ding Fan had mentioned.

Actually, Xiao Dao was suspecting without basis.

The names of the herbs that Ding Fan was mentioning were indeed essential for refining the ultimate version of the Pill, and Ding Fan was not hiding anything at all.

The main reason Ding Fan publicly declared the herbs used in the ultimate version of the Pill was not because he had gone mad, but because, even if others gathered all these herbs and Spirit Grass, Ding Fan believed they would still fail to refine it.

Ding Fan had access to the Ancient Cauldron and the Nine Luminaries Fire, which is why he could refine the ultimate version of the Pill with such ease.

No one else had these treasures. They would never be able to refine the ultimate version of the Pill.

Ding Fan continued to speak. "To refine just one Pill, the herbs needed must be soaked for over a year. That is why we only sell five hundred pills per year."

Upon hearing Ding Fan's words, everyone at the event couldn't help but gasp.

Just soaking the herbs takes so much time, which is truly a painstaking effort.

Ding Fan continued. "While these herbs are being soaked, various supportive herbs must be added daily for stirring. As for which herbs to stir with, I won't elaborate further, but you should be clear that it takes a full year to stir these soaked herbs, otherwise they cannot achieve the desired medicinal effects."

The complexity of the steps Ding Fan described elicited sighs from the audience. Taking care of these herbs daily for a year indeed required a tremendous amount of effort.

Ding Fan went on to say, "After a year, these soaked herbs are taken out and then tempered over a mild fire for forty-nine days. During these forty-nine days, the fire temperature must remain consistent. If the temperature is too high or too low, it will affect the refinement of the ultimate version of the Pill."

The people present, including the interviewing journalists, let out signs of amazement.

The ultimate version of the Pill was indeed very difficult to refine. Not to mention the other aspects, just maintaining a consistent temperature for forty-nine days was something many people found challenging.

Ding Fan continued. "Many people think that after forty-nine days of tempering, the ultimate version of the Pill would be successfully refined, but that is not the case..."

Ding Fan glanced around and then said, "For every thousand Pills refined, only one is successful. That is, the successful refinement of one Pill requires a one in a thousand chance."

Boom...

As soon as Ding Fan finished speaking, the people present began discussing among themselves.

"The Pill is incredibly complicated. The success rate of one Pill is just one in a thousand..."

"If it weren't so difficult to refine, why would they charge two hundred thousand US dollars for the ultimate version of one Pill?"

...

Soon, public opinion at the event once again shifted in favor of Ding Fan.

"I believe many of you can understand my words. To refine one Pill, we have to discard a thousand Pills. Seeing how diligently and earnestly we have refined the true heart treatment Pill, do you think two hundred thousand US dollars is expensive?" Ding Fan looked around and asked.

"Not expensive!" The people present echoed Ding Fan's statement.

After listening to the people, Ding Fan smiled faintly and then said, "That's the price for the ultimate version of the Pill. Those who want to buy it, line up; those who don't, go home!"
