Leveling Up With My Pet

Chapter 191 Venom

?

Liu Yong has a deep understanding of Bawang's character and motivations. He knows that Bawang seeks revenge, and now that he has acquired a powerful weapon, he is likely to seek out trouble with the jellyfish. 

Liu Yong advises Bawang that taking revenge on the jellyfish is okay, but it is best to target individuals rather than in groups. 

This is a classic guerrilla warfare tactic, where one fights only when they can win and retreats when they cannot.

  Liu Yong believes that with his new weapon, Bawang should be able to handle two or three ghost-haired jellyfish without a problem.

With his giant spear, Bawang sets off towards Guam to seek revenge against the jellyfish who have wronged him.

In Wujiang Pharmaceutical Group:

Wujiang Pharmaceutical Group is the most renowned pharmaceutical company in Huahai City, boasting an impressive annual revenue exceeding 10 billion. Notably, it is also among the top ten pharmaceutical companies in China, with expertise in developing and manufacturing both Western and Chinese patent medicines.

The company is dedicated to developing a Chinese patent medicine plaster targeting rheumatoid arthritis. However, they have encountered a hurdle requiring a blind poison – the jellyfish's venom. Unfortunately, their supplies of this venom are dwindling, which threatens the success of the drug's development.

Upon learning of this, the company's chief researcher approached Cao Youpeng, the boss, to discuss the pressing matter. The situation was grave, as this venom was essential to the development of medicine. 

Cao Youpeng took a moment to ponder, his fingers lightly tapping on the desk, a tell-tale sign of his deep concentration when faced with challenging problems.

Despite the high stakes, Cao Youpeng resolved to find a solution to the problem. Abandoning the development of the drug was not an option. The company had already invested over 100 million yuan in the project, and, more importantly, the plaster has demonstrated significant efficacy, surpassing any rheumatoid arthritis drug currently on the market.

Wujiang Pharmaceutical recently acquired 100 grams of jellyfish venom for research purposes at a great price of 1,000 US dollars per gram, surpassing the value of gold. Cao Youpeng, who is interested in acquiring more venom, is informed that there is a limit to the amount available for purchase.

"Can we use the venom of other jellyfish species, such as the box jellyfish?" Cao Youpeng asks, considering alternatives.

"No, it must be the jellyfish's venom," The colleague informed him.

Cao Youpeng expresses concern about the difficulty of obtaining the venom of the ghost jellyfish, which resides at a depth of more than 2,000 meters. "It is too difficult to catch. Even if our drug is successfully developed, after mass production in the future, we will need more ghost jellyfish venom. The raw material will be one question," he says, worried.

A colleague reassured him, "Boss, even though the raw materials are hard to come by, the curative effect of this product is excellent. Once it is launched in the market, it will undoubtedly become highly sought after."

Cao Youpeng nodded thoughtfully as he considered the product's medicinal properties. "Yes, the product's curative effect is exceptional. It requires an ingredient as rare as ghost hair jellyfish venom, which speaks to its potency," he remarked.

"The curative effect is good, there is no way," agrees his colleague.

Cao Youpeng acknowledges that the drug's high price may limit its accessibility to only a few patients who can afford it. 

"The venom of the ghost jellyfish is challenging to deal with. It is estimated that the production batch of this drug will not be large in the future, so the price will be set high. Only a few patients can afford the high price. Anyway, the curative effect is there," he notes.

Given the difficulty of obtaining the venom of the ghost jellyfish, it is anticipated that the production batch of the drug will be small, leading to higher pricing. 

"The main problem now is how to get the venom of the ghost jellyfish," Cao Youpeng says, pondering the challenge ahead.

After contemplating the matter for a while, Cao Youpeng took the initiative to reach out to the person in charge of the foreign institution and expressed his desire to purchase at least 100 grams of venom. However, his hopes were quickly dashed as the other party informed him that their inventory was depleted and they had no venom of ghost jellyfish for sale.

This news left Cao Youpeng feeling a sense of unease as he wondered what his next move should be. His chief researcher noticed his anxiety and suggested a potential solution: "Boss, have you heard of Global Ocean Services?" Cao Youpeng affirmed that he had recognized it as an ocean shipping company with a massive capacity.

The chief researcher elaborated: "This company not only specializes in ocean transportation but also in deep-sea exploration and salvage. They might have a way to obtain the venom of the ghost hair jellyfish."

Cao Youpeng's eyes brightened at the prospect of a potential solution, and he decided to take matters into his own hands. He initially suggested that his chief researcher goes to the Universal Company but quickly dismissed the idea, realizing the importance of the case. 

"Forget it," he said, waving his hand. "I'll go there myself." The matter was simply too crucial to leave to anyone else.

In the office, Liu Yong was seated on the sofa, while Cao Youpeng, representing Wujiang Pharmaceutical Group, went to meet Liu Yong. 

He knocked on the door, and Liu Yong greeted him warmly. 

"So How may i help you Mr Cao?" Liu Yong politely asked.

"Well, I m in search of Ghots jellyfish venom", Ca Youpeng said.

Cao Youpeng expressed interest in acquiring a jellyfish's venom, which surprised Liu Yong. He had never heard of jellyfish venom being used as medicine before. Liu Yong realized their need for this venom was likely urgent, as the boss had come to discuss the matter.

After considering it, Liu Yong assured Cao Youpeng that obtaining the venom from the ghost jellyfish would be easy. Cao Youpeng was thrilled to hear this news and offered a premium of 10 million yuan for a single poison sac from the jellyfish. 

Liu Yong was surprised, as he had no idea the poison sacs were worth so much money. He asked Cao Youpeng how many poison sacs he wanted, leaving Cao Youpeng stunned, as the sacs were challenging to obtain. 

After regaining his composure, Cao Youpeng realized that his trip to Universal Company had been worth it. He agreed to pay 10 million yuan for as many poison sacs as Liu Yong could provide. Although the jellyfish's venom is diluted ten thousand times and used as medicine, the demand is still relatively high after mass production. Therefore, obtaining a few poisonous sacs could yield tens of millions of yuan.

After the deal was finalized, Liu Yong immediately contacted his pet, Bawang, and asked him to obtain the jellyfish's venom.

"Okay, Bawang You got some work", Liu Yong said. 

"Wow , what is it Master?" Bawang asked immediately. 

" Well, you need to get me ghost jellyfish venom as much as you can", Liu Yong instructed. 

"Sure Master !"
