Chapter: 3847
Smith said, "Mr. Ye is the person in charge of operations at Jiu Xu Pharmaceutical, handling all matters related to pharmaceutical sales. Last time, it was him who approved our order for twenty boxes of Jiu Xu Rejuvenation Pills."
Miss Fee asked again, "What's this Mr. Ye's name?"
Smith thought for a moment and frowned, saying, "I only met with him once last time, I think he didn't introduce himself by name, Wei Liang just called him Mr. Ye when introducing him to me."
Miss Fee asked again, "What does this Mr. Ye look like? How old is he?"
Smith thought for a moment and opened his mouth to say, "He's probably in his early twenties, slightly taller than average, with a good appearance, but if you ask me to describe him specifically, I don't remember too well since it was just one meeting."
As he said this, Smith remembered something else and added, "Anyway, this person is very powerful, young, but when we were discussing business together, the pressure was overwhelming."
Miss Fee nodded, her mind already basically confirmed that this Mr. Ye was probably the same Mr. Ye she had met earlier.
Thinking about this, she asked Smith again, "Mr. Smith, you're here only for Jiu Xu Rejuvenation Pills, right?"
Smith didn't know what Fee Xin meant, but thinking about CIA matters couldn't be exposed, so he nodded and said, "Yes, I'm here for Jiu Xu Rejuvenation Pills, Miss Fee. Why are you asking?"
Fee Xin paused for a moment, her expression serious, and asked him, "Mr. Smith, have you ever heard of Returning Spring Pill?"
Smith shook his head, looking puzzled, and asked, "What is Returning Spring Pill? Is it another kind of medicine too?"
"It's something like that," Fee Xin said. "According to legend, taking one pill can cure a hundred diseases, or even extend one's life by ten or twenty years."
"This... This kind of medicine... shouldn't exist, right..." Smith exclaimed, his eyes wide with astonishment.
Fee Xin smiled slightly and said frankly, "Whether it exists or not, I'm not sure. But in a few days, Jinling will have an auction, and Returning Spring Pill will be the highlight."
Smith looked embarrassed and said, "Miss Fee, if I'm not mistaken, you're a high-achieving graduate from Stanford University? I've heard that you entered Stanford at 15 and received your Ph.D. at 21, right?"
Fee Xin nodded and laughed wryly, saying, "Mr. Smith, are you trying to say that as someone who graduated from Stanford, I shouldn't believe in things that defy scientific logic?"
"Yes... I don't believe it," Smith said seriously. "I don't think there's any medicine in this world that can cure a hundred diseases or extend one's life by ten or twenty years. If such things existed, the entire world would probably go crazy."
Fee Xin sighed and said, "To be honest, I don't believe it either. However, many top-tier wealthy individuals deeply believe in it, including my grandfather."
"As she was saying that, Fee Xin added, 'Unfortunately, this spring dan auction mechanism has extremely high confidentiality and absolutely impossible to take it out of the auction venue. So, even if it really has such effects, I'm afraid outsiders won't know about it, and even if they do know, without solid evidence, they would be skeptical just like you.'"
Smith fell silent for a moment before speaking up, "Miss Fee, how does one participate in this auction? Can I take a look?"
"There's no chance," Fee Xin said seriously. "The registration has closed. Mr. Smith, if you want to participate, just wait until the next time, okay?"
Smith's curiosity was piqued by Fee Xin's words and he asked her, "Miss Fee, which auction house is hosting this auction? I might be able to find someone to help me get a spot."
At that moment, Smith didn't feel like his words were improper. As the head of FDA, he had many connections in high society, and he knew many people from various industries.
However, when Fee Xin heard his words, she couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "Mr. Smith, this spring dan auction is not ordinary. It's being hosted by a local antique company in Jinling, with extremely high registration barriers. Only those with assets over 10 billion yuan have the qualification to participate. I estimate that your connections are unlikely to touch on this level."
Smith was stunned and exclaimed, "10 billion yuan?! This is too outrageous!" JrNovels.com
