Chapter 30: Selling the Rich Woman Happiness Pill
Moments later, under a Chinese parasol tree outside the entrance of Kyoto Polytechnic University.
Jin Congxue, clad in a coffee-colored woollen overcoat, looked at Su Xing with amusement and asked,
“What good stuff have you brought for me?”
Su Xing chuckled and handed over the twenty jin of Spirit Rice he had prepared in advance and then took out a Nourishing Face Pill and passed it to her.
“This is something special, give it a try! ”
Having simulated the scenario in advance, Su Xing felt quite trustful of Jin Congxue.
Jin Congxue took the Nourishing Face Pill and inspected it closely for a moment.
The elixir felt cool and crystal clear in her hand. When she brought it up to her nose, it gave off a faint scent of herbs.
With the pill in hand, Jin Congxue gave Su Xing a dubious look and said with a
hint of jest,
“You’re not trying to pull something shady on me, are you… like drugging me?”
Upon hearing this, Su Xing arched an eyebrow and responded with a laugh,
“Oh? Then I wonder if you, Jin Congxue, would dare to take it? Are you afraid I might do something bad to you?”
At his words, Jin Congxue let out a laugh and swallowed the Nourishing Face Pill, then looked at Su Xing with a challenging gaze.
Her seductive expression was bewitching, igniting a fiery sensation in Su Xing’s lower abdomen.
The pill dissolved instantly upon ingesting, and Jin Congxue uttered an intrigued sound, then carefully sensed her body’s condition.
On Jin Congxue’s fair skin appeared a thin layer of dirt, to her great surprise. She quickly pulled out a small mirror from her bag to check her face.
After carefully inspecting herself for a while, Jin Congxue froze, her voice filled with disbelief,
“Su Xing, how did you do this? The fine lines on my face have disappeared! My skin feels like it’s been rejuvenated by at least three or four years!”
Su Xing smiled slightly upon hearing this. Jin Congxue was not yet thirty years old, but because she took good care of herself, her skin condition was around that of a twenty-three or twenty-four-year-old.
But now, after taking Su Xing’s Nourishing Face Pill, her skin appeared to be that of someone around twenty!
Pointing to the Nourishing Face Pill in his hand, Su Xing said,
“How about that? This is an elixir that I’ve newly developed… the Rich Lady’s Delight Pill!”
“Rich Lady’s Delight Pill…” Jin Congxue murmured, her pretty face blushing slightly as she said in a soft voice,
“That doesn’t sound like a very serious name!”
Upon hearing this, Su Xing laughed and said,
“Who cares whether the name is serious or not? Just tell me if you feel happier after taking it.”
Upon hearing this, Jin Congxue subconsciously nodded her head. Women, especially beautiful ones, are particularly concerned with their appearance.
Su Xing continued,
“The Rich Lady’s Delight Pill can rejuvenate a person. One pill will last about a month, after which the effects will gradually lessen… For a thirty-year-old woman, it’s like returning to their twenties, and for a forty-year-old, it’s like returning to their thirties!”
Jin Congxue nodded her head, confirming that the effects she was experiencing matched Su Xing’s description, then she asked,
“So, what are you suggesting?
Su Xing took out a bottle of Nourishing Face Pills from his chest and said,
“I have fifty Rich Lady’s Delight Pills here, and I hope you can help me sell them.”
Jin Congxue paused, her voice filled with astonishment,
“Such precious elixirs, are you sure you want to sell them? Did you really develop these pills yourself?”
Su Xing nodded and responded,
“Yes, I can provide at least fifty Rich Lady’s Delight Pills every month. I hope to have a long- term partnership with your Jin Merchant Guild!”
Jin Congxue’s expression changed slightly. As a lady born into a merchant family, she quickly recognized the tremendous commercial opportunity this represented.
Feeling somewhat excited, Jin Congxue said to Su Xing,
“Let’s discuss this in detail! The Jin Merchant Guild has a villa not far from Kyoto Polytechnic University. Let’s go there to talk!”
Su Xing nodded after listening; based on Jin Congxue’s reaction, the Nourishing Face Pill must be extremely important.
Jin Congxue took out a cell phone, made a call, and soon a black Rolls-Royce arrived, eliciting amazed gasps from the surrounding students.
Su Xing got into the car, and after a ten-minute drive, the two arrived at a villa.
There were already three or four middle-aged men waiting inside the villa.
Jin Congxue introduced,
“Su Xing, this Nourishing Face Pill is not a common item; its value is immense… According to the rules of the Jin Merchant Guild, its value must be determined by appraisers together. You don’t mind, do you?”
After listening, Su Xing shook his head. He and Jin Congxue were friends, but business was business; it needed to be clearly discussed.
Soon, several appraisers took out specific tools to appraise the Nourishing Face Pill.
This world had a life profession known as appraisers, who mostly serve within certain powers, like the appraisers currently present.
After a careful inspection of more than ten minutes, one appraiser said with some astonishment,
“This elixir is indeed harmless to the human body, rather, it relies on a unique energy to temporarily alleviate aging, and can even rejuvenate!” After a discussion, the appraisers unanimously said,
“After our discussion, we feel that the value of this single elixir should be around one million Great Xia Coins. Although the elixir is miraculous, it can only be maintained for a month; it requires long-term use… If the price is too expensive, it likely won’t have a market.”
Having said this, the appraisers turned to look at Su Xing, wanting to see if he agreed to this price.
Just as Su Xing was about to nod in agreement, Jin Congxue interrupted,
“Respected appraisers, although you have spoken of the use value of this elixir… you have overlooked the commercial value behind it!”
The appraisers frowned slightly upon hearing this, but Jin Congxue bluntly said,
“Do you think ordinary people could afford this elixir?”
“According to my estimation, the overwhelming majority of those who purchase these elixirs will be middle-aged women… or rather, ladies from wealthy families!”
“By selling these elixirs to them, we could not only make money but also accumulate contacts and resources for the Jin Merchant Guild!”
“What do you say, is money more important, or are contacts and resources more important?”
Hearing Jin Congxue’s words, the appraisers fell silent.
For a regular businessman, perhaps money is more significant.
But for a huge entity like the Jin Merchant Guild of the Great Xia Country, accumulating contacts and resources is clearly more critical.
Jin Congxue continued,
“So, I believe… we should hold an auction in the form of an auction, helping Su
Xing to auction it off for free, to further expand the influence of the Jin
Merchant Guild! What do you think?”
After hearing Jin Congxue’s words, the appraisers showed peculiar expressions; with their experience, how could they not recognize the value of the elixir, but the intrinsic nature of businessmen is profit-seeking, and naturally, the more profit, the better.
But the Jin Congxue before them was clearly turning away profit!
The appraisers assessed Su Xing, seeing his youthful age, extraordinary appearance, and ability to bring out such an elixir.
Their minds stirred, thinking, could it be that this young man is a future son-in-law of the Jin Merchant Guild? And so, the appraisers quickly said,
“Everything is up to Miss Jin!”
Jin Congxue nodded, pleased, and then turned her eyes towards Su Xing, her gaze carrying a hint of seeking credit.
Soon after, a commercial contract was signed.
Su Xing provided the “Rich Madam’s Joy Pill,” and designated the Jin Merchant Guild as the sole distribution channel.
In return, the Jin Merchant Guild would give all the profits from the auction to Su Xing.
After the contract was signed, the appraisers quickly left with the Nourishing Face Pill.
Meanwhile, Jin Congxue looked at Su Xing with sparkling eyes and said playfully,
“Su Xing, I’ve helped you with such a big favor, how are you going to thank
