Ye Lingchen knew a lot more than ordinary people, such as the Warrior's Department, Earth's Gate, and the genetic mutation incident. What the public knew was just the tip of the iceberg. In fact … even if they knew, it would be useless and would only add to their troubles.
Those thoughts flashed through Ye Lingchen's mind. When he looked at the scene again, he could not help but smile.
Those people who were either rich or noble were like peddlers at that time, setting up their own stalls with a plaque hanging in front of them and shouting from time to time.
"Premium saffron, freshly unearthed ginseng, 50 years old!"
"Looking to buy wild knotweed. Price doesn't matter."
"Buying beauty fluid formulas that haven't been released on the market. As long as it's genuine, the price is guaranteed to satisfy you."
There were stalls and naturally, there were also people asking for prices. One by one, they suddenly chatted like aunties in a vegetable market, which immediately lowered the pretentiousness of the scene.
However, if one listened carefully, they would find that the pretentiousness of the conversation was still very high. For example:
"My father is the head of the Li family in Tianhai City. If there's any problem with this formula, I'll make you regret being born into this world!"
"Hehe, I'm a medical expert in Murica. Would I lie to you?"
…
Ye Lingchen nodded to the middle-aged man who led the way, then began to wander around on his own.
It had to be said that the medicinal herbs there were much more abundant than the outside world. Coupled with the geographical reasons, Ye Lingchen had yet to collect many medicinal herbs. It was a good time to buy them all and plant them himself.
For some of the rarer medicinal herbs, Ye Lingchen only needed to buy seedlings and seeds.
Collecting medicinal herbs had become a habit of Ye Lingchen's. After all, he had a Wood Spirit Constitution. It would be a waste if he did not make good use of it. Moreover, regardless of whether they were useful or not, medicinal herbs might come in handy one day.
Along the way, many people recognized Ye Lingchen's identity. Their gazes were more or less strange. Although they were still buying and selling things, their attention was focused on Ye Lingchen.
Ye Lingchen, on the other hand, continued to stroll around as if nothing had happened.
At that moment, his gaze paused slightly and stopped in front of a stall.
The owner of the stall was an old man with a goatee. He did not shout, but the items in the stall surprised Ye Lingchen.
The items on display at the stalls were all rare herbs, such as Blood Lingzhi Mushroom, Rhodiola, Musk …
Although they were just seedlings with limited effects, they were of great use to Ye Lingchen.
"Boss, how much are these herbs?" Ye Lingchen asked casually.
The old man stroked his goatee and looked at Ye Lingchen with cloudy eyes. "If Mr. Y likes it, why not give it to you?"
Ye Lingchen raised his brows slightly and stared at the old man.
The old man did not mind. He looked at Ye Lingchen, then cupped his hands and said, "I'm the butler of the Mo family in Hidden City. I've been waiting here for Mr. Y."
"Waiting for me?" Ye Lingchen glanced at the middle-aged man who brought him over. At that moment, he was guarding the exit.
"It seems that Mr. Y likes to collect herbs. It just so happens that our Mo family has the most herbs. The ones I'm showing you are just a few randomly selected ones. As long as Mr. Y agrees, these herbs will be yours to use," the old man said.
"What are the requirements?"
"As long as Mr. Y hands over the formula for the rabies antidote, this matter will be as easy as lifting a finger for you," the old man said with a smile. "Our Mo family will also promise you many benefits. We won't disappoint Mr. Y.
"What if I buy these with money?" Ye Lingchen frowned slightly.
"Hehe." The old man laughed dryly, then said proudly, "Our Mo family not only controls 45% of the country's herb market, but also 25% of the pharmaceutical market. We're the largest shareholder of four listed companies and a member of the board of shareholders of ten listed companies. Do you think we care about money?"
Ye Lingchen said nothing.
It was obvious that the Mo family had invited him over for the formula in his hands.
That meant there was no room for negotiation.
He stared at the old man, wondering if he should find a chance to visit the Mo family and borrow some herb seeds. Since the Mo family had so many herbs, it should not hurt to borrow some.
Seeing that Ye Lingchen did not speak, the old man suddenly said, "If Mr. Y is willing to hand over the formula, I can make the decision to let Mr. Y become a director of the Mo family and control five percent of the Mo family's shares!"
As soon as those words came out, the crowd was shocked.
"Damn, five percent of the shares! We're going to be rich! "
"The words of the Mo family's director carry too much weight."
"Hidden City's Mo family. This is the Hidden City's Mo family!"
The crowd discussed among themselves, looking at Ye Lingchen with eyes full of envy.
The Hidden City's Mo family had absolute authority in Zang Province. The number of companies in their hands was uncountable. Herbs were like the lifeline of the people, and the Mo family was undoubtedly holding onto that lifeline tightly!
Moreover, ever since the Mo Clan rose to prominence, they had a history of more than two hundred years. Their rich heritage was simply shocking!
A rough calculation would put the Mo family's assets in the hundreds of billions. Five percent of the shares would be worth tens of billions. The most important thing was the annual dividends. Medicine was definitely a lucrative industry. Five percent of the shares would mean an annual dividend of more than five hundred million!
The old man added calmly, "You should know that it's useless to just have the formula. You still need herbs, manpower, and a large enough operating platform. It's hard to do it alone! Now, all you need to do is give us the formula and you'll be standing at the peak of this era! "
He was confident that the conditions were quite high. If Ye Lingchen were to keep the prescription, the value of it might not reach the height of the conditions he offered. Coupled with the Mo family's reputation, he felt that the matter would be settled.
Unexpectedly, Ye Lingchen quickly shook his head and said, "I only need some seeds or seedlings of herbs.
"I only need the seeds or seedlings of some herbs. I'm not interested in anything else."
The crowd was shocked. That was beyond everyone's expectations.
Ye Lingchen completely ignored the olive branch offered by the Mo family. He even turned a blind eye to the generous conditions. Crazy. That was too crazy!
That was the Hidden City's Mo family. From the perspective of ordinary people, that was a family standing at the top of the food chain. Take note, it was a family, not an individual!
The power of a family was much, much stronger than an individual!
Everyone's gaze toward Ye Lingchen gradually changed, carrying a hint of sympathy.
The Mo family was powerful not only because of their strength on the surface. In fact, they also occupied a large part of the underground forces in the Sichuan-Tibet region. Offending the Mo family here was no different from courting death.
The smile on the old man's face stiffened, and a haze flashed in the depths of his eyes!
How many years had it been since the Mo family rose to power more than a hundred years ago? They had never been rejected so mercilessly!
