Upon hearing Kobayashi Tenno's explanation, Shen Bi's biggest concern and worry vanished completely.
But MacLehose's miraculous transformation and bursting vitality completely shattered his pride and skepticism.
Similarly, deep within himself... that corner of his heart, worn down by time and pressure, was also screaming wildly.
He had to verify the effects of the pills himself. There's a Chinese saying, "Seeing is believing," and Shen Bi was in a state of utter shock and disbelief.
Especially seeing Kobayashi Tenno's confident expression, Shen Bi's heart pounded.
After all, in essence, HSBC, which he represents, and Kobayashi Tenno are still allies on the same side.
His opposition to Governor Murray MacLehose taking the drug was merely out of rationality and for the greater good; it does not mean that he did not want Kobayashi Tenmoku to actually create such a miracle drug.
On the contrary, Shen Bi now desperately hopes that what Kobayashi Tenmoku said is true, and that the reaction he just saw with Mak Lei-ho can be replicated.
At that moment, he no longer hesitated, quickly grabbed the two pills, and without even looking at them, threw them into his mouth.
He didn't even bother to find some tea to moisten his throat; he just swallowed it down forcefully.
The pill slid easily down my esophagus, bringing a slightly cool, foreign sensation.
Then, Shen Bi closed his eyes and, just like MacLehose had done, began to concentrate on sensing every subtle change within his body.
A few minutes later, he suddenly opened his eyes, and an incredible light burst forth from his shrewd eyes!
A long-lost sense of power, even more intense and clearer than in my youth, spread through my limbs and bones like a warm tide, eventually converging at one point!
It works! It actually works!
Despite the previous positive results from MacLehose, the personal experience of regaining vitality brought a shock to Shim Bi that was incomparable.
He needs these pills too!
It's not just him; the market for this drug will be huge for every man over forty in the world.
Regardless of nationality or race, and to exaggerate a bit, if you are a man, you will eventually desperately need this miracle drug.
Shen Bi could hardly imagine how large the global market would be once this drug could be mass-produced.
He even began to speculate on how high the price of such a miraculous drug would be.
For him personally, even if they were sold at an exorbitant price of one US dollar per piece, he would immediately stock up on a batch without hesitation.
"God...this..."
Shen Bi's voice trembled violently.
He looked down at himself, then suddenly looked up at Lin Huowang, who was smiling at him. His eyes had completely changed, filled with an unprecedented sense of awe and wonder.
Today, it felt as if Shen Bi was truly getting to know this legendary and outstanding young man for the first time.
"Kobayashi! This...this isn't medicine! This is practically a miraculous substance that can turn lead into gold! It's an inexhaustible gold mine!"
As a senior executive at HSBC, he instantly saw the terrifying commercial value behind this little blue pill, a value capable of overturning the world.
If the cost and selling price can be reduced, and this pill becomes a readily available daily necessity, then the global sales volume will be an extremely alarming figure.
"Such effectiveness...such speed of action...such safety...God!"
As long as they hold the patents and can mass-produce and launch the product, let alone four billion Hong Kong dollars, it could be ten billion! Two hundred billion!
HSBC would dare lend to you! No! They'd be scrambling to lend to you! The value of this medicine far exceeds the entire Hongkong Land Group!
It will sweep the globe! It will make history! Kobayashi, you...you've struck gold in human history!
"I can approve the loan immediately! Four billion Hong Kong dollars, HSBC will fully support it! We can discuss the specific terms another day… but now is not the time for that! I… I must go home right away! Excuse me, Mr. Kobayashi!"
Before he could finish speaking, this financial magnate of Hong Kong Island, the head of HSBC, said...
Just like Governor Murray MacLehose earlier, he couldn't wait to rush out of the private room and hurry back to find his wife.
Lin Huowang remained alone in the luxurious yet empty private room at the Peninsula Hotel.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the gaps in the curtains, casting dappled light and shadow on his face.
He slowly leaned back in his chair, finally letting out a long sigh. The tension that had been building up finally eased.
At this moment, Government House, the white building symbolizing the highest power on Hong Kong Island, is shrouded in the tranquility of the evening.
MacLehose's car came to a screeching halt in front of the main building, like a raging bull.
Before the car had even come to a complete stop, the rear door was forcefully pushed open.
MacLehose practically jumped out, his movements so swift they seemed completely out of character for his age.
He moved with the speed of the wind, carrying an unstoppable, almost tyrannical momentum, and charged straight toward the heavy, carved door.
His usual calm and elegant demeanor had vanished; at this moment, he resembled a warrior driven by some primal instinct, eager to embark on a sacred mission.
"Jazz!"
The private secretary waiting at the door, holding a stack of urgent documents that needed immediate signature, rushed forward upon seeing MacLehose, his face displaying professional respect, and said, "Regarding the tender dispute for the Kowloon Bay reclamation project, officials from the Department of Justice and the Department of Public Works have been waiting for you in the conference room for several hours. The situation is extremely urgent, and we need your assistance..."
