Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 229 Bet



The press conference was scheduled to begin at nine o'clock, and although it wasn't yet time, the conference room was already filled with many people waiting.

Many newspapers and television stations had sent reporters to attend the press conference.

Previously at Jiangyuan Pharmaceutical Factory, Ding Fan used an ordinary Pill to awaken a comatose patient, exposing the conspiracy of the Japanese, and now Jiangyuan Pharmaceutical Factory was at the height of its fame. With such a move, how could the media not pay attention?

Hu Jin had been preparing for this press conference for a long time, so all aspects of the preparation were quite adequate.

As soon as Hu Jin and Ding Fan appeared at the venue, even though the press conference had not yet started, the surrounding reporters flocked over.

"Manager Ding, in Dancheng, the Pill now occupies 75% of the market share for similar products, and this number is still climbing. How does Manager Ding view this situation?"

"Manager Ding, regarding the second generation of the Pill that has been developed, does it have any special effects?"

"Yes, what adjustments have been made to the second generation of the Pill?"...

A torrent of questions came one after another in quick succession.

Ding Fan had anticipated this situation, as the Pill had become the most attention-grabbing topic ever since he used it to cure a comatose person in front of the media.

"The second generation of the Pill has been adjusted. The previous emergency heart disease medicines were only symptomatic, not curative, but with the new Pills, as long as one persists in taking them for one treatment course, no matter the condition, it will quickly improve.

In addition to the Pills, every year, Jiangyuan Pharmaceutical Factory will also have a batch of the ultimate version of the Pills," stated Ding Fan, delivering his already prepared remarks.

"The ultimate version of the Pills?" The crowd was stunned.

Hu Jin was also stunned; today's press conference was meant to promote the second generation of the Pills—when did an ultimate version come out?

With Ding Fan's current level of cultivation, it wasn't difficult at all for him to refine a Medicine Pill that could completely cure heart disease; such a Pill didn't even qualify as a high grade level. Mainly composed of hundreds of years old Wild Ginseng and combined with Spiritual Energy, it was just a simple refinement.

With Ding Fan's current power, making such Pills was a matter of minutes, and producing a hundred or eighty Pills in one batch was not worth mentioning.

Having had three days of free time, he had managed to refine some Pills. For convenience and easy remembering, Ding Fan had dubbed these Pills the ultimate version of the Pill.

"May I ask Manager Ding, what is the difference between the ultimate version and the regular one?"

Ding Fan gave the reporter a slight smile, his expression full of confidence. "The ultimate version of the Pill can indeed completely cure various heart diseases!"

What?!

A complete cure!!! For all kinds of diseases!!...

This statement was simply too bold, and the reporters at the scene immediately buzzed with discussion.

It was well known that heart diseases were the most difficult to cure, and with modern medicine, completely curing heart disease was nearly impossible—treatments mainly focused on improving the condition of the heart and alleviating pain.

And now, Ding Fan had declared in front of numerous media outlets that he could completely cure heart disease...

Hu Jin also looked at Ding Fan with a face filled with disbelief.

In this world, how could there be medicine that completely cures heart disease? At that moment, she was somewhat worried that Ding Fan was perhaps overstating his case. One couldn't talk nonsense in front of the media; haphazard statements could greatly damage a company's reputation.

"The Huaxia people really know how to brag, cure all kinds of heart diseases?" At this moment, an indifferent voice sounded from the crowd.

Many reporters turned to follow the voice, and there, a blonde, blue-eyed foreign girl stood, clearly dismissive, obviously the one who had spoken.

This foreign girl, in her early twenties, had a figure that, though also tall like the slender Eastern girls, was fuller and more voluptuous.

"My name is Elisa. The Far East representative of the Halley Pharmaceutical Factory from the United States," the foreign girl stated directly without waiting for others to ask.

The Halley Pharmaceutical Factory from the United States!

Once those words were spoken, the numerous reporters present were stunned.

The Halley Pharmaceutical Company from the United States was a large international pharmaceutical company, its products not only dominating America but also holding strong positions in Europe and Yahuan State.

In the latest annual ranking, the Halley Pharmaceutical Company from the United States ranked first globally amongst pharmaceutical enterprises. Truly overlooking the world, they were the best there was.

The reporters hadn't expected that the representative of such a formidable global pharmaceutical empire would attend Jiangyuan Pharmaceutical Factory's press conference, especially considering that Jiangyuan and Halley Pharmaceutical Company simply couldn't be compared.

The manager of Fenghuang Factory, standing in the distance, saw Elisa step forward and a cold smile crossed his lips.

Having been put in his place by Ding Fan just now, Wang Enming had no chance to get revenge, and still had to maintain a pleasant demeanor. But now Ding Fan was arrogant enough—despite Wang's attempts to be amiable, Ding Fan didn't so much as glance his way.

Wang Enming snorted. Curing all types of heart diseases! Such bragging! Such posturing! Halley Company is the most powerful pharmaceutical enterprise in the world, and you're bound to fall flat on your face.

At this moment, Hu Jin also had her head in her hands, frustrated with Ding Fan's reckless grandstanding. Now look at the mess he's in, she thought, wondering how he would extricate himself!

Just when Jiangyuan Pharmaceutical Factory had started to show some signs of improvement, it seemed that after this moment of hubris, all previous efforts would go down the drain!

"Mr. Ding, did you say your medicine can cure all types of heart disease?" Elisa snorted coldly. "We heard before that someone could use a single pill to treat someone in a vegetative state, so I came to see for myself. But now I've realized, Mr. Ding, you're not a genius in the pharmaceutical world—you're a genius in the world of bullshitting!"

Elisa's words were met with a round of laughter.

Ding Fan, unbothered, glanced at Elisa. "You haven't even seen my medicine. How can you be so sure I'm just boasting?"

Elisa gave Ding Fan a look. "Currently, there's no medicine that can cure heart disease completely. As everyone knows, current medicines mainly aim to improve and stabilize the heart's condition. Even our Halley Company wouldn't dare claim we can cure heart disease. Are you saying you can do what we can't?"

Witnessing Elisa's sharp retort, Wang Enming couldn't hide his schadenfreude. It was as if she was taking revenge on his behalf.

At this stage, Hu Jin was at a loss for words.

Halley's scientific research power is the best in the world of medicine, after all. Just within Halley Company, they have Nobel laureates in medicine, not to mention the various other talents they have recruited over the years from around the world.

As Elisa said, if even Halley Company couldn't do it, how could Jiangyuan Pharmaceutical Factory possibly achieve it?

However, at this moment, Ding Fan appeared utterly unconcerned.

"What makes you think that just because your Halley Company can't cure a disease, we can't either?"

Holy crap!

Everyone present was stunned. Nobody had expected Ding Fan to challenge anyone at this juncture, let alone the world's leading pharmaceutical enterprise, Halley Company.

Right then, all the reporters excitedly documented the scene. A small pharmaceutical factory challenging the world's industry leader—what explosive news.

Elisa's brow furrowed slightly, then she huffed lightly. "It seems you have a lot of confidence in your ultimate version of your heart-stabilizing pill."

Ding Fan nodded. "If I didn't have confidence, I wouldn't be holding a press conference here."

"Then do you dare to bet with me?" Elisa was not pleased with Ding Fan's confrontational attitude; she jutted out her jaw in a haughty manner.

"Why wouldn't I dare!" Ding Fan stood with his hands behind his back, exuding a proud and unflinching air.

At his side, Hu Jin cautiously looked at Ding Fan, certain she didn't believe in a pill that could cure heart disease. What puzzled her was, where was Ding Fan's confidence coming from?

"Since both of you want to bet, I'll take the initiative to act as a witness," Wang Enming interjected, walking over.

Ding Fan cast a glance at the vigorous Wang Enming, well aware of the other's intentions—Wang Enming was simply looking forward to seeing him made a fool of.

But Ding Fan was indifferent.

Elisa looked at Wang Enming. "Fine, I have no objections."

Wang Enming smiled ingratiatingly at Elisa, then said, "To make it fair, how about I call the hospital right now..."

"There's no need for that much trouble!" Before Wang Enming could finish, Elisa cut him off, saying directly, "My secretary has congenital heart disease. If Mr. Ding can cure my secretary with his pill, then he will have won."

After Elisa finished speaking, a young African-American woman stepped forward from behind her.

Ding Fan looked at the African-American woman and then said to Elisa, "Then there should be a wager involved for the winner."

Elisa paused, then said, "If I win, Jiangyuan Pharmaceutical Factory must shut down completely! And if you win, I am willing to give you the agency for Halley Pharmaceuticals in Huaxia Country."

Shutdown! Elisa was playing hardball. If Ding Fan made one wrong move, the newly revived factory would be shut down immediately.

However, the terms offered by Elisa were also tempting; the regional agency for Halley Pharmaceuticals was something many could only dream of, given that it was a leading global enterprise!

"That won't be necessary," Ding Fan shook his head slightly. "I'm not interested in your so-called agency. If you lose, you just need to make a public apology in the newspaper for what you just said!"

The crowd was taken aback, utterly surprised by the terms Ding Fan proposed.
