Chapter 267 An unprecedented opportunity to get rich quick is presented before us
The Sampdoria parliamentarian also seemed vaguely uneasy. He brought his champagne glass to his lips, then put it down, thought for a moment, and said with a smile:
"No matter what the problem is, I can confirm that China lacks the core raw materials for producing Bis-Extended Release Agent. There is an old saying among them: 'A clever housewife cannot cook rice without rice.'"
The M country commissioner said in Mandarin, "Even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice."
Senator Shanpota, who did not understand Chinese, paused for a moment and asked, "Commissioner, what are you saying?"
The M country envoy revealed a smug look, "I'm talking about the ancient Chinese saying you just told me, but in their language, Mr. Congressman."
“Oh! My esteemed Commissioner, it turns out you are an expert on China!” Congressman Shanpota quickly praised, then continued, “Then you must understand what I mean. What I’m saying is that no matter how capable they are, they cannot produce a sustained-release formulation or an alternative drug. They can only continue to import from our country, Shanpota.”
"Perhaps the exorbitant price has made them hesitate, trying to stall for time and then try to negotiate a lower price with my people. However, Mr. Commissioner, I will not agree. China will ultimately have no choice but to accept, because their people will not stand by and watch millions of patients in their country who need extended-release bismuth subcitrate die every year!"
The Sampdoria parliamentarian spoke with great conviction, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
He not only wanted to reassure the M country's envoy, but also wanted to dispel the inexplicable unease that had arisen deep within him.
The M country envoy smiled. "Mr. Congressman, you are the most shrewd businessman I have ever met among the officials of Shanpota. You are also the smartest person who listens to M country the most. We will do our best to help you win the election next year and make you the absolute ruler of Shanpota."
Having received clear affirmation from a representative of his master, the Shanpota parliamentarian was so excited that his face turned red. He hurriedly took out an emergency pill and swallowed it in case his heart couldn't take it.
Although Santorini is a developed country in Europe, it is too small in size.
Its total population is just over ten million, and its area is only about the size of a state in the United States or a province in China.
They've always been following in the footsteps of the US to make a living.
This congressman was just an ordinary doctor in his youth. By chance, he participated in the research and development of Bismuth extended-release agent. He then used some shady means to drive away the other members of the research team and monopolized all the research results.
He then transformed himself into the inventor of Biss extended-release formulation, quickly gaining favor with many investors in Sanport and the United States, and rapidly establishing Biss Pharmaceuticals, which developed into a large conglomerate.
Then, thanks to the unique monopoly of core pharmaceutical raw materials in the country of Sanpota, and the huge demand for this drug in China, his wealth skyrocketed, and he made it onto the list of richest people in Sanpota at a young age.
Immediately afterwards, a super-rich family that ranked among the top three on the list of wealthy families in Sumbatta took a liking to him, arranged for him to marry the family's eldest daughter, and made him a member of the Sumbatta National Assembly.
Now in his early fifties, he is backed not only by a powerful family but also by the assistance of the United States. His momentum is unmatched, and he is undoubtedly the next leader of Shanpota.
His immense wealth and near-peak status fascinated him, and he became hopelessly addicted to the feeling of ruthlessly extracting huge sums of money from China through the Bis Pharmaceutical Group.
He didn't care at all whether millions of people in China would be unable to afford the expensive price of Bismuth Substances each year.
If you can't afford it, you'll die; if you don't want to die, you can only buy from his group.
He had absolute control, and incidentally, he could both bleed China dry and sell to the US and some allied countries that were on good terms with the US at a price slightly above cost, thus currying favor with the US.
It must be said that his meticulous management over the past decades has been extremely shrewd and effective.
The thought that he was about to reach the pinnacle of power in the Kingdom of Shanpota, and that his wealth would increase several times or even dozens of times, made his heart beat faster and faster. One emergency pill wasn't enough, so he took two more to control his heartbeat.
"Mr. Congressman, are you alright?" The M country envoy noticed that his face was flushed and then returned to normal, and that he was sweating a little, so he asked him with concern.
The Sampdoria MP was deeply moved. “I’m fine, I’ve never been so fine. Commissioner, I’m so happy that you’ve been so kind to me. Considering our years of cooperation, I’ve decided to let you make another fortune.”
Upon hearing this, the M country envoy became very interested, put the champagne back on the table, and looked at him intently.
The congressman said excitedly, "I've been preparing for months, investing a lot of money and making thorough preparations. Tomorrow, I will be promoting my Biss Pharmaceutical Group globally. With the signing of a new round of sales contracts with China, Biss Group's stock will definitely skyrocket to an unimaginable level!"
The M country envoy's eyes lit up instantly, his pupils even trembling. "So, Mr. Congressman, you mean..."
The congressman put down his champagne glass and firmly grasped the hand of the US envoy. "There are still more than ten hours until tomorrow, my dear envoy. In the meantime, you'd better use all the money you have to buy shares in Bis Pharmaceuticals. I guarantee, no, I swear, this will be the most worthwhile investment of your life. When the stock price of Bis Pharmaceuticals soars to its peak, I will promptly remind you to sell! At that time, you will definitely make money you can't even dream of!"
The M country envoy's breathing became rapid.
His position in the official department of country M was not high, and his salary was barely enough. He mainly earned extra income by being responsible for supervising the Bis Pharmaceutical Group in the country of Shanpota for more than ten years, as ordered by his superiors. This led him to become friends with this congressman.
Now that an unprecedented opportunity to get rich is presented to him, how could he not be tempted?
“But…” the M country representative said with a regretful expression, “I can only raise a little over three million US dollars at most right now.”
Congressman Shanpota said with a regretful tone, "Only three million? Hmm... But it doesn't matter. I estimate that after you use this money to buy shares in my group today, it will become at least thirty million within a month! This is the most conservative estimate. If nothing unexpected happens, it might even become one hundred million US dollars."
“One…one hundred million…” The M country envoy felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He forced himself to calm down and asked, “And you, Mr. Congressman, how much money will you use to buy stocks?”
Congressman Shanpota laughed and said, "I will use all of my personal assets, plus 90% of my wife's family's assets, and all the funds from my supporters' group to buy shares in the Bis Pharmaceuticals Group. That's a total of approximately 2.3 billion US dollars. In fact, I started buying a month ago, and as of yesterday, I had used up exactly 2.3 billion. If I can raise more funds, I will continue buying without hesitation before the stock market closes today! I can also secretly tell you that, under my arrangement, the Shanpota Congress has also secretly invested a huge sum of money to buy a large number of shares in my group; the amount is not convenient to disclose..."
Upon hearing these words, the M country envoy's rapidly beating heart seemed to stop for a few seconds, and his mind went blank for a moment.
Two billion US dollars!
This guy really put all his savings into it!
A surge in Bess Pharmaceuticals' stock price is inevitable, so... $2.3 billion will easily become at least $23 billion! Or even more!
Moreover, even parliamentary groups from the country of Sanpota have become involved.
Crazy, absolutely crazy!
Although it's crazy, it also proves how safe this is!
“My wife should still have a million,” the M country envoy said through gritted teeth, “but that’s temporarily being held by the company she works for…”
The legislator immediately asked, "How long will it be stored?"
The M country representative thought for a moment and said, "About two months."
“Very good, plenty of time!” the congressman said decisively. “My secret operation will not take that long at all, a month, at most a month. By then, selling the stocks will not affect your wife handing the money over to the company. Everything will be done without anyone knowing.”
The M country commissioner didn't hesitate to take out his phone and call his wife. After some persuasion, he finally got her consent.
Then he quickly used all his family's savings, along with the one million, totaling more than three million two hundred thousand US dollars, to buy shares in Bess Pharmaceuticals. After buying them, he still felt it wasn't enough, but unfortunately, he couldn't get any more money.
Senator Shanpota also showed him his stock account, with its dazzling astronomical figures that made him extremely envious.
“Alright, Mr. Commissioner,” Senator Sanpota said with a smile, picking up his champagne again. “Just wait for the good news. Cheers to another windfall of wealth for us.”
"Cheers! Mr. Congressman!" The M Country Commissioner excitedly downed the champagne in one gulp.

After entering China, Pierto spent two hours trying every possible method before finally making contact with Mr. Yan.
Mr. Yan agreed to meet with Ning Jinli, since he had already finished his business with her.
Pierto then had his private jet fly to Xinghan City, and after landing, he and his secretary went straight to the pharmaceutical company that Mr. Yan had mentioned.
It was a little after 3 p.m. that day.
In the reception room, Pierto finally met Mr. Yan.
Pierto was instinctively ready to confront her, but his eyes were involuntarily drawn to Ning Jinli, who was sitting on a chair to the side.
He had seen countless beautiful women in China, but the one he saw this time was not only beautiful, but also had a unique charm.
"Mr. Yan, is this your secretary?" Pierto asked in fluent Mandarin.
Mr. Yan laughed, "I don't have the ability to get Miss Ning to be my secretary."
"Oh? Her name is Miss Ning?"
Pierto quickly approached, extended his right hand, and tried his best to be a gentleman. "Hello, Miss Ning, my name is Pierto."
Before this guy arrived, Ning Jinli already knew his identity and that for more than ten years, he had completely disregarded Mr. Yan by relying on the Bis Group's monopoly on the production of Bis sustained-release agents.
Moreover, this time, the United States of Sanpo used blatant threats to force its citizens to accept the price increase of Bismuth subsalicylate.
Mr. Yan originally planned to tell Pierto directly over the phone that he would no longer import this drug from Santorini.
But Ning Jinli felt that since the person had already come, how could she not make things difficult for them after all those years of arrogance?
Ning Jinli did not reach out her hand in response to Pierto's greeting.
Pierto added, "I am from Sanpota."
Based on his past experience, even though he wasn't handsome, he often attracted women in China with his distinctly Caucasian features. If he also mentioned his nationality, the effect would be even more pronounced.
This enormous advantage allows him to naturally stand out from the crowd in many developing countries and regions, as well as in underdeveloped areas.
Ning Jinli still didn't shake hands with him, only raising her eyes slightly and giving a perfunctory smile, "Hello, Mr. Shanpota."
Pierto paused for a moment, then reminded her in an instructive tone, "Miss Ning, don't you even know that Sanpota is a famous developed country in Europe? You are more ignorant than many Chinese women I've met, but I don't mind. Now you should know. Also, I said my name is Pierto, you should call me Mr. Pierto."
“Okay,” Ning Jinli said with a slight smile, “Mr. Pi.”
Pierto finally noticed her unusual attitude, and when he heard her address him as "Mr. Pi" instead of as she had said, he frowned, glanced at Mr. Yan, and said, "Mr. Yan, I didn't expect there to be such an impolite woman in China."
Mr. Yan used to have no choice but to be polite to Piltover. Now that the lifeline of the Kingdom of Sanpota is no longer being squeezed by the Kingdom of Sanpota, there is no need for him to be polite to such bullies.
The so-called rudeness that such people talk about is nothing more than not being fawned over and flattered by them.
So, he replied slowly, "Under normal circumstances, we Chinese people are polite to others."
Pierto's Chinese language skills were quite good, but he wasn't Chinese after all. He only vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the sentence, and judging from the tone, it seemed like he had been insulted, but he couldn't understand exactly how he had been insulted.
But he was pressed for time and didn't have the time to deliberately find fault with Mr. Yan and make things difficult for him like he used to when signing contracts. He put on a long face and had his secretary behind him take out a thick stack of documents.
“Mr. Yan, we have already signed, you can sign it now.” Pierto didn’t even bother to reach out his hand, and simply gestured for his secretary to hand over the contract documents.
Mr. Yan didn't reach out, but pointed with his chin to the conference table next to him, "Put it there for now, I just finished and need to rest."
Pierto's secretary looked at him with a shocked expression and disbelief.
Pierto's expression was similar to his secretary's, and he immediately questioned in an exaggerated tone, "Mr. Yan! What are you saying?!"
