He won 900 million in the lottery.

Chapter 360 Negotiation

A very open occasion.

The other party casually arranged to meet me at a coffee shop.

It turned out to be a woman.

Her waist-length curly hair was dark brown and as smooth as silk.

She wore a light khaki straw hat, had an oval face, clear brow bones, a high nose bridge, full lips, and a delicate jaw.

She wore a white short-sleeved ice silk shirt, with the top two buttons undone and the cuffs casually rolled up to her forearms. She wore a pair of jade bracelets on her wrists, pink nail polish, and neat, rounded fingers. She paired it with a high-waisted beige long skirt, creating a clean and sophisticated light-colored ensemble. Her crystal chain high heels, in particular, swayed with each step.

She's a stunning beauty.

He walked over and sat down opposite the woman.

"I never expected Mr. Shen to be such a handsome and talented man."

"I never expected that the mature-sounding man on the phone would actually be such a beautiful young woman in real life."

The woman covered her mouth and chuckled: "The person on the phone isn't me, it's my father. He hasn't fully recovered and has difficulty moving around, so I'm speaking on his behalf."

"Enough with the small talk, let's get straight to the point."

"This is YS health supplement."

Curious, I took the insulin syringe-like thing the woman handed me.

"How do I use it?"

"Just like injecting insulin, you just inject it into your body."

"What are the effects?"

"Makes you look younger, prolongs your life, makes you energetic, and keeps you young forever."

"Really?"

I looked at the instrument in my hand with great surprise.

"Go back and try it, then you'll know."

Put the syringe away safely.

I looked up: "Tell me, what exactly is your purpose?"

"This YS drug requires the extraction of a substance called 'growth hormone' from the bodies of minors. We currently have collaborations with various countries around the world. Mr. Shen owns the largest tertiary hospital in Liancheng City, so he is naturally one of our partners."

Is extracting this substance harmful to the body?

"It will only slow down their growth for a while, there are no lasting effects."

"I'm worried about the impact on the hospital and the group, after all, the public outcry over the organ trafficking case has only just subsided."

"President Shen, you have connections, influence, and resources, but that's limited to Southern Province. You're the king of Southern Province, but what about outside of it?"

I frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

"I have a friend who said you crave power, you crave supreme power."

I've only ever said this to one person: Yuan Beichen.

If what the woman said about collaborating with hospitals to extract "growth hormone" is true, then Yuan Beichen is likely her biggest collaborator.

It's even possible that Yuan Beichen was the mastermind behind it all.

"You need to make it clear that I need to confirm that your abilities meet my requirements."

"Long Ping'an is your wife's political rival, right? What if I get him to give up his competition with your wife?"

"What a joke! The Long family has a Grand Secretary. Do you think he can just give up like that? Long Ping'an has no choice in the matter."

"How about we make a deal?"

"you say."

"If Long Ping'an is not promoted to deputy director within three years, then Deputy Director Liu will have an absolute advantage and be far ahead in the political arena. As for you, I have a list of hospitals in the Southern Province. You just need to find ways to turn these hospitals into my cooperative clients."

"No, they are ours."

The woman looked at me.

I looked at her too.

"King of Southern Province, this joke is not funny."

"I'm not joking. Li Kuangliang is currently in Liancheng. The Provincial Public Security Department has set up a special task force with police from other areas to investigate this case. Sooner or later, they will find you. Hong Kong is also part of the country. If you want to stay in the country, you'd better think about how to compensate me."

"Threatening me?"

"Yes, the literal meaning."

My expression was indifferent, but I was determined to win this negotiation.

Since they want the Southern Province market, they must use my influence and connections.

"You said it yourself, I am the King of Southern Province. There is no problem within Southern Province that I cannot solve. I don't need to look at the list of hospitals you have. Regardless of their backgrounds, in Southern Province, no one has a stronger background than me. Money, power, your resources and connections—I want them all."

"You're too greedy!"

"Am I not good enough for her? Or does this beautiful woman think I'm not worthy?"

"I need some time to consider it."

The woman was still hesitating, but she had no choice in the matter.

I got up and walked to her side, violently pinched her chin, and then tucked the hair that was covering one side of her face behind her ear, revealing her ear with headphones on.

My strength is so great that the woman has no way to resist.

Gently, I breathed into the woman's ear and said, "I said, I want both money and power. We can cooperate not only in the South Province, but also in the four provinces of the East, West, South, North, and South. But I want to see your sincerity in apologizing to me. You have three minutes to consider. After all, Li Kuangliang already explained the issues between you last week."

Less than a minute.

It should only be a dozen seconds.

"I agree."

The woman took off her headphones and threw them away.

Then he stood up and shook my hand.

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is He Qingche, the King of Southern Province."

"Such beautiful hands, it would be such a waste for Yuan Beichen to touch them."

I reached out and took her hand. The woman struggled a few times but couldn't break free.

After experiencing its softness to my heart's content, I finally let go.

"Then it's settled. I'll wait for news of Long Ping'an's withdrawal."

In this world, nothing is off-limits for trade; the only problem is that you don't have enough bargaining chips.

Yuan Beichen, Song Xin, and the woman in front of us—their assets are not primarily located in China.

Moreover, they are different from the Wang family. Wang Wei is patriotic and has always wanted to live in China.

These people are merely playing a game of cat and mouse between various powerful factions, all for the sake of profiting from others.

provincial capital.

I rushed back overnight.

They handed over the items in their hands to the best medical laboratory in the provincial capital for testing.

Half an hour later, the other person told me with an incredulous look, "It really works, but the medicine contains a large amount of growth hormone that is only found in the bone marrow of minors. This dose might..."

This is a counterfeit YS potion, but it really has the effects of YS.

"What's wrong with just one dose?"

"One dose may require the volume of 3 to 5 people to extract."

Although I've seen it on TikTok, the reality is much harsher than I realized.

"Testing records?"

"Don't worry, the director instructed that no trace should be left."

"Thanks for your hard work."

He handed the other party a wad of cash.

YS Club in the provincial capital.

This team, formed by Lulu, Wu Yingrong, and Chen Yuanyuan, is quietly growing stronger.

"Boss!"

Lulu came to me immediately. She is the face of YS and is already a top-tier female celebrity in China.

"How is it?"

"We have contacted 6 people, and 3 of them are already using it."

"The other three have stopped contact. How long have the current three people been taking the medication?"

"The longest was six months, the shortest was one month."

"It should take about a month to see results, right?"

Lulu nodded.

"Let these three people take charge. I want to acquire all the top-tier hospitals in the four provinces of the east, west, south, and north. If they are unwilling to open their own hospitals, I'll stop their medication immediately."
