"Grandpa, I already said before, I didn’t find this elixir, I bought it, and at the ti I promised the Divine Doctor 2 billion in funds."
Su Yingxin stood up and said loudly.
As soon as Su Yingxin said this, everyone present fell silent. Although the Su Family’s assets exceeded 10 billion, holding absolute control over several publicly listed companies,
this is 2 billion, not 200 million. Such a large sum of money, even for the Su Family, is an imnsely huge number.
Su Yunhe was silent for a mont before finally speaking: "2 billion is too much..."
If it had been before, when Su Yunhe was dying, he would probably have been willing to spend 2 billion to save his life.
But now, he’s already alive, has forgotten the fear of death, and he’s a bit reluctant to part with 2 billion, such a large amount of money, causing him significant distress.
"But Grandpa, I’ve already promised them." Su Yingxin gritted her teeth and said.
Su Yunhe was silent for a while. As the Family Head of the Su Family, he couldn’t just say that he was welching on the deal.
"Yingxin, you’re still too young. That person does have so dical skills, but they jacked up the price. With one elixir, they want to sell for 2 billion, it’s just too ridiculous."
At this mont, a middle-aged man wearing black-frad glasses spoke up, wearing traditional Zhongshan suit, clean and tidy, he was Su Yingxin’s uncle, Su Tianhui.
"Uncle, what do you an?"
"What I an is, the 2 billion is absolutely impossible to give! What elixir could be worth 2 billion? Even at the top international clinics, hiring the most renowned professional physicians, wouldn’t cost even 100 million? Do you know what 2 billion represents? I’ll give you an example, a publicly listed company in Xiangjiang makes only 100 million in net profit a year."
"One elixir, priced at 2 billion, equals a public listed company’s 20 years of profit. Isn’t that absurd? Even if it’s an Immortal Pill, it’s not worth that price."
Everyone nodded, thinking Su Tianhui made sense. In reality, they didn’t really care whether Su Tianhui was right or not, they just needed an excuse, an excuse to ease their conscience.
Because in their minds, the decision on whether to pay, lies in the hands of the Su Family, so they only needed an excuse to convince themselves.
Su Yingxin was montarily taken aback, indeed, 2 billion was too extravagant. Not even the world’s most expensive dicine would be this costly, nor the most expensive hospital would require even one tenth.
But these most expensive dicines, the best hospitals, couldn’t cure her grandfather, while Feng Qingye’s dicine was indeed a true elixir.
Rare items are valuable, it’s soone else’s possession, they’re free to ask any price they want, she was the one who agreed at the ti, and when she brought the elixir back, Grandpa Su Yunhe was aware.
Now, everyone regretted it.
"Uncle, I already promised that person, our Su Family is at least a top family in Xiangjiang, going back on our word...isn’t pleasant."
Su Yingxin shook her head and spoke softly.
"I never said not to compensate him. He provided the elixir, saved the elder of our Su Family, it’s a rit, and naturally should be rewarded."
Su Tianhui said arrogantly, displaying a calm expression on his face.
"Our Su Family is not a penny-pinching family, how about this, we’ll give him 10 million, which should be enough to honor that doctor. An elixir worth 10 million, he should already be grateful to our Su Family."
Su Yingxin was instantly speechless, from 2 billion to 10 million, shrank by 200 tis, did Uncle really think that soone like Feng Qingye who could produce such an elixir, was just an ordinary person?
million, for soone like him, what does that count for?
Su Yingxin rembered the ancient words evaluating Feng Qingye.
"Peerless in the world!"
"Uncle, what if that person doesn’t agree?" Su Yingxin shook her head and asked again.
Su Tianhui imdiately showed a slight cold smile, saying: "Yingxin, don’t forget, we are the grand Su Family in Xiangjiang, it is not up to others to refuse!"
Bullying with power!
This word imdiately appeared in Su Yingxin’s heart. 2 billion is sothing promised, now only giving 10 million, and expecting gratitude.
Isn’t this bullying with power?
But Su Yingxin wasn’t opposed to this concept; in family feuds, in business wars, bullying with power is also a frequent occurrence.
As a descendant of a big family, no one is purely good.
Su Yingxin was worried that the Su Family’s approach might anger Feng Qingye, whose capabilities were too terrifying, even the ancient master wasn’t his match.
"Uncle, that Feng Qingye isn’t an ordinary person, he’s a Martial Artist, even the ancient master isn’t his opponent!" Su Yingxin said solemnly.
Everyone’s hearts trembled slightly, the ancient master’s strength and status were well known to all, considered a top expert in Xiangjiang.
Even with Su Family’s status, they dared not lightly ignore the existence of the ancient master.
Su Tianhui’s gaze slightly concentrated, coldly said: "So what if he’s a Martial Artist? Can one be lawless because of that? Our Su Family is a titan in Xiangjiang, in terms of financial, material, and resource connections, we’ve already beco a colossus, a Martial Artist could still cause trouble for our Su Family?"
"Forget about our Su Family, if he dares to make trouble, even the Chief Executive wouldn’t spare him, the police would naturally arrest him, failing that, the military would be mobilized."
"No matter how powerful a Martial Artist is, they can’t be a match for the military, right?"
Su Tianhui’s rhetorical question instantly made everyone nod in agreent, Martial Artists are indeed terrifying, but in the present society, it is ordinary people who form it, and the power of technology is enough to crush Martial Artists.
Even Martial Artists have to obey societal order.
"But..."
Su Yingxin’s words were interrupted by Su Yunhe, who gently slamd the table, concluding:
"Alright, that’s enough, the 3 billion capital injection from Lin Bank is essential, Lin Bank’s developnt is going well now, with the 3 billion, we can hold absolute control, which will have imnse benefits for our Su Family’s future developnt."
"As for that doctor, Yingxin you said yourself, you saw him fall off the thousand-foot cliff, and his survival is uncertain. It’s not even certain if he’s still alive, let’s not worry about unfounded concerns."
The elder had made the decision, and Su Yingxin was not in a position to refute it, for now, Su Yunhe was the Family Head of the Su Family.
Su Yingxin sighed inwardly, she could only hope that Feng Qingye had fallen off the cliff and died, although the person was remarkably spirited, also saved Su Yingxin and others from that odd person.
But compared to the Su Family, it would be best if Feng Qingye were dead.
