Chapter 1043: Chapter 1043
Ding Fan returned to Yongfan Island, and it was only then that he realized the situation here was even more difficult than what Hu Jin had described.
Now, almost all of the ten thousand Pills had been reserved. Yet, people kept coming to the island in droves. Even now, tens of thousands of people still arrived on Yongfan Island every day.
Yongfan Island had indeed become very crowded.
There were very few places to stay now.
Selling out the Pills was not the main issue; the most critical issue now was this:
The Pills had all been reserved, yet various national dignitaries and key figures, as well as some major merchants, kept coming to Yongfan Island to build connections.
Now Ding Fan and his team had to consider how to address these issues. They needed to ensure that everyone was satisfied, without being partial to anyone.
After returning to Yongfan Island, Ding Fan went straight to the municipal hall.
All the executives of various departments on Yongfan Island had come for a meeting.
After settling Prince Charlie, Hu Jin also hurried over.
"Island Master, I believe you fully understand the current situation now. I conducted a survey; there are over fifteen hundred national dignitaries and conglomerate leaders alone here to build connections."
Upon hearing Hu Jin's words, Ding Fan was taken aback. He hadn't expected there to be so many people.
Over fifteen hundred people; that many would take Ding Fan over ten days to refine if he did it by himself.
Hu Jin continued, "These people have immense power behind them. If we don't handle these matters properly, Yongfan Island will end up making enemies everywhere. If we satisfy all these people, what do we do when those governments and conglomerate powers, who are still observing, decide to build connections too?"
Everyone present agreed with Hu Jin's reasoning.
Solving the problems with the current dignitaries and conglomerate powers on the island would lead to new visitors. Wouldn't that create an endless cycle?
That would form vicious competition.
Ding Fan pondered for a moment, then said, "We can solve the issue with the Medicine Pills. Give me ten days, that's all I need."
Sun Qi's alchemy skills had improved significantly. With Ding Fan and Sun Qi refining together, one or two thousand Pills could be concocted within ten days.
"Waiting ten days is feasible. However, we still need to discuss how to distribute these Pills to these dignitaries," Hu Jin added.
Everyone present focused their attention. This matter was indeed challenging.
"I propose setting up a VIP project where dignitaries and conglomerates from other countries can purchase our Pills directly once they have our VIP card."
"I think this isn't a good idea. There are over two hundred countries in the world, and if they all want VIP cards, we'd be in trouble."
"In my opinion, we set a sales limit on our platform. Once we run out, there's nothing we can do... "
The meeting attendees engaged in intense discussions for a while.
After listening to everyone's suggestions, Ding Fan synthesized the ideas.
Firstly, he proposed announcing the number of Pills available in real-time through Yongfan Island's official platform. This way, if anyone approached them later, they would also have no solution.
After all, the production numbers of the ultimate versions of the Revitalizing Pill and Stabling Pill are still not catching up; these items simply can't be mass-produced.
If they could ever be mass-produced, the Pills would lose their value.
In addition to this, Ding Fan also presented another suggestion.
Since these dignitaries and conglomerates approached as international friends, Ding Fan might as well discuss friendship with them.
The most direct method would be hosting a Chamber of Commerce meeting.
This Chamber is linked with Pill sales: if you fund the construction of Yongfan Island, you will receive the Stabling Pill and Revitalizing Pill. If you do not contribute, all discussions are off the table.
Those unwilling to contribute, how could they deserve to establish connections with Yongfan Island?
Ding Fan's idea received widespread approval from everyone present.
Yongfan Island was still in its developmental stage, with many needs ongoing. Current developments still require a great deal of external assistance.
After discussions, everyone unanimously backed Ding Fan's plan.
Ding Fan's proposal not only resolved the current difficulties but also significantly benefited Yongfan Island's long-term construction efforts.
After the meeting, a consensus was quickly reached to set the event for three days later.
As for the participants, initially, there was consideration about focusing the Chamber of Commerce on elite figures, but someone offered a different opinion.
Since the Chamber was being held, why not make it a large one where whoever is capable participates, and whoever obtains the Stabling Pill relies entirely on their own abilities?
The reason for scheduling the Chamber of Commerce three days later was Ding Fan's strategic thinking.
Firstly, the two thousand-plus Pills still needed to be refined by Sun Qi, which would take time. Secondly, Hu Jin needed the time to send this information out.
With the plan settled, the meeting concluded, and everyone dispersed.
Exiting the conference room, Ding Fan went directly to the Hundred Grass Garden without visiting other places.
Those two or three thousand Pills still needed to be refined by Ding Fan.
Upon arriving at the Hundred Grass Garden, Ding Fan explained the situation, and Sun Qi readily agreed. Together, they set up the Pill Furnace and began refining.
In fact, being able to refine Pills alongside Ding Fan was something Sun Qi had long looked forward to.
Collaborating with an expert like Ding Fan in refining Medicine Pills is a great opportunity to learn valuable techniques. This is an excellent learning chance.
For the remaining three days, Ding Fan and Sun Qi were engrossed in refinement.
For others, the Stabile Pill and Revitalizing Pill are quite remarkable, but for Ding Fan and Sun Qi, they're not that challenging.
The two of them spent three days and managed to concoct over a thousand Medicine Pills. Although there's still a gap with the targeted number, it should suffice for a while.
Today is the day the investment meeting kicks off.
The venue for the investment meeting is right inside the city hall of Yongfan Island.
At this moment, although the meeting hasn't officially started, the place is already packed with people.
Keep in mind that Stabile Pills and Revitalizing Pills are the dream of many to obtain.
The continuous flow of people to the island is because many want to buy these Medicine Pills at high prices from those who've acquired the ultimate version of Stabile Pill and Revitalizing Pill.
This is why, even though all the Medicine Pills on Yongfan Island have been sold out, people still keep coming.
The venue is lively and bustling.
"What exactly does this investment meeting mean?" Google seaʀᴄh 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥
"What else could it mean? It's about seeing who is willing to invest in Yongfan Island, and in doing so, they can get Revitalizing Pills and Stabile Pills."
In a corner, two people were discussing.
"Does that mean investing will definitely get you Stabile Pills and Revitalizing Pills?" the person speaking's eyes lit up.
As of now, a single Revitalizing Pill and Stabile Pill on the black market has broken ten million US dollars, and they are hard to come by despite having a price.
If investing could get you Stabile Pills and Revitalizing Pills, that would be amazing.
"You're dreaming; not just anyone can invest in Yongfan Island."
"Even spending twenty million US dollars to invest in exchange for a Medicine Pill would be great, but who knows if I have that kind of luck..."
Charlie sat in a corner at this moment.
Today, Prince Charlie was evidently quite displeased.
In his view, he belongs to the American Royalty, and he considers himself quite the superior existence. Regardless of the situation, you should properly arrange things for me, right?
Even if you organize some investment meeting, you should at least set up a good and prominent seat for me, right?
But they just ignored him completely.
The principle of this meeting is to find your own seat, sit wherever you find a spot.
Charlie was a bit dumbfounded. Initially, he thought he would have a private VIP seat, but because he arrived late, he ended up sitting in a corner.
If it was the old Charlie, he would've already exploded.
But now, Charlie didn't dare utter a single word.
Although Charlie hadn't been in contact with Ding Fan for long, he could tell that the guy was undoubtedly a wild card, and if he offended him, Ding Fan wouldn't hesitate to ignore his royal status and kick him out.
So now, Charlie could only sit quietly in the corner, full of grievances.
"Your Highness, I've already contacted the person in charge of Yongfan Island, and they said that as long as you show enough sincerity at this meeting, you can choose either the Stabile Pill or Revitalizing Pill." At this moment, the secretary who had been with Charlie walked over and said.
"Hmph, isn't that basically publicly begging?" Charlie snorted lightly.
"Shh..." The secretary beside him listened to Charlie's words and became quite nervous. "Your Highness, you must be careful with your words here..."
Previously, because of Charlie's reckless words, Ding Fan had directly cornered him, and now Charlie had become a global laughingstock.
Charlie furrowed his brows, and although he was visibly upset, he indeed refrained from saying more.
The secretary continued, "I just got in touch with the American Royalty, and they stated that no matter the cost today, they must secure the Revitalizing Pill. The Queen's condition is worsening."
Charlie nodded. "Today, I intend to bombard them with money. I don't believe that with all the money I have, I can't spend it!"
Just then, a stirring music melody started to play.
The previously chaotic crowd quieted down instantly. For a moment, everyone's gaze turned towards the entrance.
Under the gazes of the crowd, Ding Fan, surrounded by Hu Jin, Zhou Ruoran, Fang Ruohan, Ye Ningbing, and other beauties, walked into the venue.
The onsite crowd instinctively applauded enthusiastically.
Charlie spotted Ye Ningbing beside Ding Fan at first glance.
He felt even more displeased. His gaze at Ding Fan now carried a hint of hostility.
From the first moment he laid eyes on Ye Ningbing, Charlie had taken a liking to her. In Charlie's view, his affection for Ye Ningbing was a blessing for her, and she had no reason to reject him.
But later, the Ye Family said that Ye Ningbing had thrown herself into Ding Fan's arm.
Charlie truly couldn't understand what made him inferior to Ding Fan and why Ye Ningbing wouldn't like him...
