The matter that Xie Qingyan brought was indeed very important.
Or rather, anything that can be personally addressed by her, the chairperson of "Prism," is of utmost importance.
So, even Xu Shi was slightly surprised when he saw Ye Shanshan display the samples from the box.
"The products for the second phase of the 'Overlimit Project' have been developed so quickly?"
He knew very well how much effort the two conglomerates had put into this small vial. The only flaw was its appearance, which always reminded him of a certain virus drug that ravaged Raccoon City... even the color was bluish, which was quite ridiculous.
Are you "Prism" or "Umbrella," huh?
"It's just a sample. It will probably take some time before it becomes stable and effective without side effects."
Xie Qingyan smiled. "What? Chairman Xu doesn't know yet? Didn't his subordinates tell you?"
"With you coming in person, why would I need my subordinates to report?"
Xu Shi looked at her with a smile. In fact, he wasn't worried about the drug not being developed at all. He had given Xie Qingyan the lead, not to mention the resources and technology brought by the "Forgotten Ones." If they still couldn't make it, they might as well find a block of tofu and kill themselves. Oh, and remember to use frozen tofu.
"Ha, indeed, Chairman Xu only needs to play around with the people from the Inspection Bureau."
Xie Qingyan rolled her eyes at him. What did he mean? It sounded like I was his subordinate...
"As for how to sell the drug after it is successfully developed, I have thought about it carefully and I think we should wait."
Xu Shi ignored her little glance and continued, "Although chips and medicines are not in the same field, their effects are similar. If they are released too quickly, it will affect the interests of both of us."
"Or there's another way: we can bundle it together and sell it together. If you want to buy the medicine, you have to buy the chip as well. We can also make some secret improvements to the chip so that people can better enjoy the benefits of the medicine when they have the chip installed."
"In that case, they have no choice but to buy chips."
Anyway, the "twin" product's golden age hasn't ended yet, so it's impossible for it to be phased out so quickly. Even if the drug has better and more comprehensive effects, we still need to find a way to prevent it from taking away too much of the market.
"Of course, isn't that what we decided before?"
Xie Qingyan didn't object; her thinking was similar to Xu Shi's. "Also, the potion doesn't have a name yet. Why don't you come up with one?"
“…Let’s call it ‘Sublimation’.”
Xu Shi thought for a moment and casually said, "We'll have to trouble the 'Prism' team to put in the extra effort for further development and improvements."
"We can earn more if we work together."
Xie Qingyan smiled and said, "However, the issue I've been considering recently is the next step in product design."
"Qingyan, what are your thoughts?"
Xu Shi became interested and said, "I'm all ears."
"My idea is that specializations like 'twins' are actually more suitable as a future research direction."
Xie Qingyan said seriously, "I compared 'Twins' with 'Sublimation' and found that the latter's advantage is actually lower."
"General-purpose drugs, because they need to consider various types of 'upgraded' agents, inevitably weaken the strength of any single aspect. Better clinical trial data is only because we use superior materials and technologies. If we upgrade the 'twin' agent, this advantage will be even smaller."
"So I think that in the future we might be able to further reduce the breadth of our products and focus on developing their length?"
She continued, “Even if in the end a product can only be effective for one specific target, the benefits it brings are absolutely worlds apart.”
"...That's right."
Xu Shi paused for a moment, then nodded.
Goodness, they actually thought of that for you?
Xie Qingyan's words were convoluted, but they were essentially the same idea behind specializing in martial arts.
Xu Shi never denied that he had selfish motives. After all, he couldn't completely trust this woman, so he didn't mention the development of the special weapon to her, and even intentionally or unintentionally led her in other directions.
But it seems like it still can't stop it.
However, he wasn't surprised. Once you get involved in this project, it's only a matter of time before you start thinking about this direction. Besides, nobody's stupid. It would be strange if his fiancée, with her status, didn't consider it.
"Since you have this idea, you can definitely give it a try first."
He was a little surprised, though. Given that woman's personality, why would she share something so important with him directly? Goodness, this isn't like you at all…
"I just feel that there's no point in us competing with each other like this."
Sensing his thoughts, Xie Qingyan said seriously, "Since we are engaged and now business partners, wouldn't it be better to focus our scheming on others?"
Her expression didn't seem fake.
Xu Shigui was unconvinced; he had never won against him. Who could be convinced?
However, looking at the entire City of Night Sin, there's probably no more suitable partner than "Serpent Ring." Meanwhile, Xu Shi's power and influence are constantly expanding. Now, let alone "Prism," which of the six major conglomerates can keep him in check? All things considered, he might end up destroying himself…
Maintaining stability is especially important at this strategic pass.
"And what about 'Shark Tooth'...?"
Xu Shi blinked, clearly still processing her sudden change in attitude, and tentatively asked.
"I'm not going to give this to you; after all, I've been running this business for so long."
Xie Qingyan was quite generous, "Isn't it good to split it in half? As long as we don't hinder each other, do you think He Laosan can outmaneuver you, or He Laoda can outfight me?"
