Zhao An's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, as if he were pondering something, or perhaps brewing some cunning scheme.
Watching Zhao An's movements, Bai Qiuling's heartbeat began to accelerate unnaturally. She was afraid Zhao An would ask embarrassing questions, leaving her unsure whether to agree or not.
"Medicine is fine, but I have to go back and take a look. I always leave these kinds of business matters to my wife. Just contact Yuling later. I won't get involved; I'll just provide the technical support." Zhao An implicitly complimented his woman. It was best to leave these professional negotiation skills to Qian Yuling, who would also satisfy her feminine nature.
Sure enough, Qian Yuling's eyes were beaming, practically blooming. No matter what, her man always put her first; it was a symbol of status.
"Okay, can I know which drug you're talking about? I'll give you two shares of the kidney failure treatment I'm developing. Without your help, it would have taken a year to develop." Bai Qiuling was decisive, demanding 20%.
"Two shares is too little. We want three, and only technical support. My husband must also be named on the patent. This is non-negotiable," Qian Yuling suddenly said. Zhao An had discussed this matter with her before, including the oral sex reward.
"Deal." Bai Qiuling was also decisive. Three shares is three shares. Even though a lot of resources had been invested in development upfront, it would be impossible without Zhao An's help. The most crucial part was the subsequent pharmaceuticals Zhao An would provide; that was the biggest payout.
"But for any new drugs you develop, at least two of them must be prioritized with us." Bai Qiuling made another request, a concession in exchange for future cooperation.
"Okay, no problem. Happy working together!" Qian Yuling said, extending her hand.
"Happy cooperation." Bai Qiuling extended her delicate hand and shook it. Ever since Zhao An handed the reins to Qian Yuling, she knew she was dealing with a seasoned shrew, and a rather shrewd one at that.
"Here's my thought. What's the most difficult disease to prevent and treat in the world right now? AIDS, leukemia, and cancer." Zhao An pulled out his laptop and displayed the survey data.
"At least 30 million AIDS patients have been identified so far. The majority of these people are prostitutes and their clients. Of course, there are also professional hookers. These people have limited financial resources and can contribute a small profit, but they won't make a fortune. However, we can sell this drug to the government. The profit doesn't matter; the connection can secure policy support." Zhao An displayed the survey results.
"This drug only generates prestige, with minimal profit." Qian Yuling knew the result at a glance. Indeed, developing drugs does have a good reputation, but what good is that reputation? Profit is still more appealing. Reputation is something only people of high moral character pursue; vulgar people are more focused on financial gain.
"Do you have any treatments for leukemia and cancer?" Bai Qiuling was more interested in the other two drugs than the AIDS medication. You have to understand that these two diseases aren't related to sex; no one can say for sure why they develop; the key is whether they can be cured.
"As I've said, early-stage leukemia can be cured with medication. In the middle stages, a more advanced treatment plan is needed. The profits are quite good. I estimate the medication costs per patient to be around 300,000 yuan, which means the profit will be at least 200,000 yuan, and that's a conservative estimate. With good management, it could be even higher." Zhao An lit a cigarette and spoke slowly, his air of confidence and maturity gradually emanating from him.
Both the beautiful mature woman and the young Bai Qiuling were drawn to Zhao An's demeanor. Such a man is undoubtedly more charming and unforgettable.
"That's great. When can you develop it?" Bai Qiuling nodded. "Doesn't this include other nutritional supplements?"
"Of course not. It's just the medical expenses, and nutritional supplements aren't counted." Zhao An smiled, seeming somewhat pleased with himself.
"Including the nutritional supplements, a full course of treatment for one person would cost around 200,000 yuan, and that's based on the average person. A wealthy individual would spend even more. This is truly a great money-making idea. If we run it further, we'll not only profit, but also gain fame. Your name recognition will be even higher. Haha, by then, you might even win the Nobel Prize." Bai Qiuling picked up her red wine glass and clinked it with Zhao An's.
"I don't value fame. Does wealth mean you need to seek status? I don't think so. These drugs should be able to continue development for at least next year. Right now, I'd rather enjoy life. I'm going to the bathroom. Excuse me." Zhao An smiled and stood up to leave. Xu Yan had also gone to the bathroom.
Qian Yuling continued her conversation with Bai Qiuling. The remaining tasks were to be divided up. There were also specific aspects of the collaboration that needed to be discussed, which were unavoidable. For example, raw material procurement and pharmaceutical processing guarantees, among other things.
Xu Yan entered the restroom and turned to close the door when Zhao An squeezed in with a lewd smile and slammed the door shut.
"What are you doing here? Get out!" Xu Yan stripped down to her underwear and confidently used the restroom in front of Zhao An.
The gurgling sound of water made Zhao An's cock harden once again. "I came here to use the restroom, too. I need to relieve myself first. Otherwise, how can I pee with my cock so hard?" He said, and then he stuffed his cock into Xu Yan's mouth.
"Hmm!" Xu Yan sighed. Her delicate hand grasped Zhao An's cock and began to suck it gently and carefully. She knew that since he had dared to come in, he couldn't hide it from Qian Yuling. If he wasn't afraid of his sister-in-law finding out, what else did she have to worry about?
Feeling ready, Zhao An pulled out his cock and pulled Xu Yan up, pressing her against the bathroom door without even taking off her pants. He slightly spread her legs apart, one hand resting on her voluptuous waist, the other caressing her soft breasts. With a push of his waist, he effortlessly entered Xu Yan's body.
