Chapter 589 - The Dumbfounded Lance (1/2)
“I’m sorry, our CEO doesn’t drink.”
As An Ya’s a.s.sistant, Ai Jinqi tried to help her.
“Miss An Ya, you have to understand that you must compromise if you want North Qiong Corp to enter the European and the American markets. I just want you to drink a gla.s.s of wine, but some others want to swallow the entire North Qiong Corp. Which one would you choose?”
Eddie was still holding the gla.s.s, staring at An Ya.
There was a hint of struggle in An Ya’s eyes. A gla.s.s of wine was indeed nothing compared to the development of the corporation. Besides, not even pure alcohol would intoxicate her since she had reached a certain level of cultivation.
“Alright…”
When An Ya was about to agree, Chen Fan suddenly said, “Forget about it. They’ll come and beg us to sell them our product in the future,” Chen Fan said confidently.
Since the Vitality Serum was diluted, its effect wasn’t really visible, but people who used it would have a stronger body over time. They would never get sick and would have a prolonged life. They might even develop a Spirit Root and cultivation talent in the future.
The effect wasn’t obvious right then as only two years had pa.s.sed. Around three to five years later, the effect of the Vitality Serum would truly show. By then, Europe and the United States would take the initiative to open the market for North Qiong Corp, or they would possibly miss the chance for their economies to grow.
“Do I know you?”
Eddie narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Fan.
The Lance Family had hired experts to research the Vitality Serum since it appeared on the market.
They accidentally discovered that there was a weird energy inside the Vitality Serum that could stimulate human evolution. Those who drank the serum had a possibility of becoming an Extraordinary ten times higher than normal people! Such data was terrifying.
Since then, the Lance Family regarded the Vitality Serum as one of their most important targets and would die to get the formula. Everything the European Union and the politicians like Earl Downey had done was part of Eddie’s plan.
He knew that An Ya would go there so he chose to attend to pressure her, so that she would hand over the Vitality Serum formula. Out of his expectations, Chen Fan got in his way.
“It’s just one gla.s.s, Xiao Fan. I’ll be fine,” An Ya comforted Chen Fan.
“No, Sister An, you don’t know what you have in your hands.”
Chen Fan put his hands behind his back and looked at everyone. “They might look supercilious and reserved right now, but once they know the true power of the Vitality Serum, they will kneel and beg us to give them the serum.”
Earth was a dead planet. There was no way to cultivate, just like h.e.l.l.
The Vitality Serum was the only way out Chen Fan had given this planet. Whoever controlled the Vitality Serum would control the key to the evolution of the future human race.
“Shut up!”
Earl Downey and the others were enraged.
“You’re talking to the heir of the Lance Family. How can you be so disrespectful?” Sir Brad said furiously. He had never thought Chen Fan would be so bold.
The United States was the dominator of the world and the Lance Family played an important role in the country. They had over a trillion dollars of a.s.sets and could control the political situation. The heir of such a powerful family had a higher status than the Princes and Princesses in the world. The Lance Family could even overthrow the regime of some small countries if they wanted to.
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and said, “Do you know who I am?”
“I don’t need to know who you are. You wouldn’t scare me even if you were the Prince of j.a.pan or a member from some top family in China,” Eddie Lance said arrogantly.
This was the confidence of the Lance Family.
After that, he ignored Chen Fan and bowed to An Ya. “Miss An Ya, I look forward to meeting you again. Contact me anytime if you change your mind.”
He then turned around and left.
After that, Earl Downey and Sir Brad snickered as they shook their heads, then left together with Eddie Lance.
In a blink, Chen Fan, Viscount York and a few others were the only ones left in the entire party hall.
“Miss An Ya, the Lance Family is extremely influential in Europe and the United States. Without their permission, there’s no way North Qiong Corp can enter the western market,” Viscount York frowned and said.
An Ya was also struggling. It was indeed a golden opportunity.
But after taking a glance at Chen Fan, she calmly told Viscount York, “Since the Western World doesn’t welcome us, North Qiong Corp will withdraw all our businesses from the region.”
“What?”
Viscount York’s eyes popped out.
The European and the American markets were the largest in the world, accounting for half of the world’s GDP. Without this market, the North Qiong Corp would suffer from a severe blow.
“Don’t you have to think about it more thoroughly? Why don’t you call for a board meeting first?”
Viscount York was anxious.
The Royal Bank of Scotland was helping North Qiong Corp to develop their business in Europe and the United States; even Viscount York wanted to get a share from it. All his plans would be ruined if North Qiong Corp pulled back.
“No, our President has made the decision.”
An Ya chuckled and looked at Chen Fan.
An Ya hesitated at first, but she soon knew what to do. North Qiong Corp was established by Chen Fan, so she valued his opinion more than anything, regardless of the situation.
When Viscount York walked them out, he was still trying to convince An Ya to think it over, but she had made up her mind.
“Miss An, are we really stopping all our businesses in the West?”
Ai Jinqi wondered after they got out.
