Su Yang did not mind when he saw the doubtful expression on Saddam’s face. That was exactly what he wanted. He smiled and did not say anything more. He just took the initiative to shake hands with Saddam before leaving his residence.
After Su Yang left, Saddam looked at the 100ml bottle of oral fluid on the table with hesitation.
After a while, he clapped his hands and called someone in. Then, he asked the person to take a few drops of liquid from the bottle to test it out first.
Evidently, Su Yang’s confident and mysterious actions had caught his attention.
‘It can provide immortality?
‘It can also cure all diseases?
‘No matter how I looked at it, this seems to be a common trick used by scammers. However, when everything is coming from a world-class corporation, I can’t just ignore it.
‘After all… No one can resist the temptation of being healthy forever and being able to live as an immortal.
‘But… Could all this be true?’
After sending the item to the research facility directly under Saddam, Saddam returned to his bedroom to rest. He was over 50 years old when he was in charge of Menes, and he had a lot of work to do in the country. Hence, because he was quite old, he did not have enough stamina.
The night passed uneventfully, and the next day, Saddam received a report from the researchers. The researchers did not find anything special about the liquid in the bottle.
They were all the most common and simple components. They wouldn’t cause any harm to the human body, but they wouldn’t have any effect either. In hindsight, they looked like ordinary bottles of glucose and zinc oral fluids.
Seeing this report, Saddam frowned.
‘Is this just a trick?
‘Could Jiadian Group be a fraud?’
At that thought, Saddam shifted his gaze to the table beside him.
On the table was another present that Su Yang had brought over: A glass phone.
Saddam could still remember the moment when he saw the glass phone. It was probably the most beautiful phone in the world. He even thought it was just a piece of glass…
If Su Yang had not shown him how to use this phone, he would not have treated this glass-like object as a cell phone for the rest of his life.
It was the most important and widely known invention by Jiadian Group.
In fact, even up to that point, Jiadian Group had not even registered a patent for this most important product.
The experts analyzed this point. Some thought that Jiadian Group wanted to publicize the technology to the world and not restrict the use of companies around the world.
However, Saddam thought this was bullsh*t.
He believed in another theory… ‘Jiadian Group doesn’t want to disclose the details of the technology, and they aren’t even going to disclose their company’s direction. This is because they believe that other companies would not be able to crack their technology in decades.
‘Hence, they’re going to be able to monopolize this technology for the decades to come.
‘After all, a real technological barrier was never its patent. It’s just a piece of paper that’s used to wipe their ass with. The real technological barrier is something that can’t be created even if you can see and analyze it!
‘That in itself is much more effective than patents!
‘Therefore, if Jiadian Group could create something that’s decades ahead of the world, would the bottle of oral serum Su Yang gave us really be a normal bottle of glucose and zinc oral fluids?’
Saddam felt that it was not likely.
Especially since it was a gift from the boss of Jiadian Group.
With that thought in mind, Saddam used a tool to suck out a drop of liquid from the bottle and tentatively dropped it into the pot beside him.
Inside the pot was a cactus plant.
As the liquid dripped in, the cactus seemed to have absorbed something nutritious and suddenly started to change rapidly.
Its plant had turned emerald green at a visible rate, and its needles were even longer and finer. Even its body size was visibly enlarged. Most importantly, there was a tender flower bud protruding from its top.
The scene before him shocked Saddam!
He rubbed his eyes and could not believe what he was seeing.
Then, he quickly took out his phone to record as he repeated the process.
This time, as the liquid dripped down, the cactus grew stronger and the flower bud slowly bloomed!
The video recorded the entire process and Saddam no longer doubted his own eyes at that point!
He called his subordinates and asked them to call all the members of his research team!
The researchers gathered in front of Saddam.
Saddam looked at them with a dark expression and threw his phone over. “Take a look at this!”
The people from the research team were confused when they were called over. They didn’t know what Saddam wanted to do.
After all, they felt that Saddam had been acting weird for the past two days. Last night, he had asked them to work overtime to check a bottle of glucose and zinc oral fluid, and now he had summoned them.
‘What’s this about?
‘Is the oral serum made of gold but we failed to detect it?’
With this question in mind, they started to watch the video.
After watching the video, the few of them exchanged glances.
In the end, it was the leading expert who spoke up. “Master Saddam, we… Really tested this drop of liquid according to your request. All the parameters shown were no different from ordinary glucose and zinc oral fluid.”
“Whether it’s the ingredients or the content, there’s just no difference.”
Saddam didn’t say anything. He said directly, “Experiment it on yourselves then.”
With that, he extended his hand and handed the bottle of ginseng oral fluid to the researchers.
The researchers carefully took it and tried it out according to the video.
At first, these researchers thought that the video was fake, but when they personally saw this miracle, they were shocked!
The most important thing to become a researcher was to have the heart to pursue science. Seeing this miraculous scene, the researchers could no longer remain idle.
Even though the person in front of him was the king of all of Menes, the chief expert still said directly, “Master Saddam, please give us another chance. We will test it again!”
The sly old fox, Saddam, nodded and said, “Move the equipment here. I’ll watch you do it myse;f.”
Obviously, from the bottom of his heart, Saddam started to believe the purpose of the oral serum and understood its value. Therefore, he was afraid that the researchers would use research as an excuse to squander it.
Or maybe… He actually believed in the experiment results of these researchers yesterday, so he was curious about what went wrong.
As the controller of the whole of Menes, Saddam could easily move the research institute, let alone the equipment.
Therefore, before long, a series of equipment were moved to his place.
Then, under the watchful eyes of Saddam himself, these researchers carried out another test.
Soon, half a day had passed. The test results came out one by one, but the researcher’s expressions were getting uglier, while the mockful expression on Saddam’s face grew even more serious.
Because…
The results were exactly the same as last night.
Which meant that even though the experiments were done in front of Saddam, and even after all the researchers had reexamined it with professional instruments, the conclusion still showed that… It was an ordinary bottle of glucose and zinc oral fluid.
When all the reports were out, the researchers were stunned.
The chief specialist thought for a while. He did not even ask for Saddam’s opinion and directly ordered, “Do another test. This time, expand the scope of the tests!
“Try not to miss any micronutrients in it!”
Very soon, the research team began to test again…
At that moment, Saddam slowly returned to his room with the fifth bottle of oral serum.
He felt like he had guessed something.
In the next two days, no matter how hard the research team tried, they could not detect anything abnormal about the oral fluid. They started to doubt themselves or whether there was something wrong with the equipment!
During this period, Saddam conducted many experiments himself as well.
His experiments began from lab rats to people around him, which also caused him to be left with only 10% of oral fluids left.
After all, it was impossible for Saddam to not be careful when drinking something he did not know what it was.
Thankfully, all the creatures and humans in the experiment showed no signs of abnormality. In fact, with the help of the oral fluid, their bodies became healthier.
This also made Saddam believe that the oral fluid contained some magical substance that could not be detected by modern science.
This magical substance could cure all diseases and provide immortality!
The reason he came to this conclusion was because he had tried to give the liquid to several people with different illnesses, and with the medical equipment, these people’s illnesses and illnesses had improved.
He even gave it to an old man, whose mental state improved after drinking it. Plus, Saddam could see the man’s hair slowly turning from white to black.
These miraculous effects made Saddam believe in Su Yang’s words of ‘cure all illnesses and immortality’!
His heart was pounding, and he had a wild ambition. ‘If I can obtain an unlimited supply of this oral fluid, would I be able to rule over Menes for 10,000 years?’
After all, no one who became the ruler of a country wanted to die. Otherwise, why would so many ancient emperors pursue immortality?
Saddam was no exception.
That night, he called Su Yang.
This time, his tone was much gentler. “Hello, Mr. Su, it’s Saddam.”
Su Yang smiled and said, “Oh, Mr. Saddam. What’s the matter?”
Saddam deliberated for a moment before saying straightforwardly, “I’m very interested in the gifts you gave me previously. I would like to buy some in bulk. I wonder how much you’re selling them for?”
Obviously, Saddam treated the bottle of oral fluids that Su Yang had left for him as a sales pitch. He thought that Su Yang wanted to sell this oral fluid.
Of course, Su Yang would not treat this as a transaction. He rejected the offer directly. “I’m sorry, Mr. Saddam, but they aren’t for sale. Our production is also very limited. I gave you a bottle the last time because it was our first time meeting.
“Right now, I don’t even have that many bottles left in stock.”
Saddam treated Su Yang’s words as a request to raise the price. Hence, he said, “I’ll pay 10,000 USD per bottle.”
Su Yang smiled. “You must be joking.”
Saddam frowned slightly. “50,000 USD.”
Su Yang rejected him. “Mr. Saddam, to be honest, your offer price isn’t even enough to cover our costs.”
Saddam frowned. He thought for a while and said, “One million USD.”
Then he added, “But you have to ensure that I have enough to drink every week.”
He felt like he had shown enough sincerity. The 100 ml bottle could probably last him a week at most. If that was the case, he would need to drink tens or hundreds of bottles a year, and that would cost him hundreds of millions of USD.
This was equivalent to one-thousandth of Menes’s GDP, which made it extremely expensive.
However, Su Yang still rejected him.
This time, Su Yang rejected him directly. “Mr. Saddam, I feel like you’ve misunderstood my words. They really aren’t for sale.
“Besides, a million dollars huh. Do you think… I’m in any shortage of money?”
When he heard Su Yang’s words, Saddam suddenly realized that Su Yang was one of the richest people in the world. With Jiadian Group and Samsung, he could be considered one of the richest people in the world.
Plus, he had plenty of cash, so he did not seem to care about how much money he was being offered.
However, at the thought of this, Saddam was furious. ‘Since Su Yang doesn’t lack money, why did he have to “promote” himself?!
‘It would have been fine if I didn’t know that such things exist in this world, but now that I know there’s something that can give me immortality, how could I possibly not want to get my hands on them?’
However, Su Yang acted as if he did not know what he was thinking. He said a few words coldly before hanging up the phone. It was as if he was angered by Saddam’s rude request.
After hanging up, Saddam’s face turned dark with anger.
Just as he had thought earlier, if he did not know that such a thing existed, then so be it. Now that he knew, his mindset was completely different.
He would feel that what he had lost was not just oral fluids, but a chance at gaining immortality!
Various methods to obtain the oral fluids started to appear in his mind.
For example, he could head out to Su Yang’s base and kidnap him to demand for the oral fluids.
Or, spending hundreds of millions, or even billions of USD to buy them.
Or, he could work together with some of the leaders in Central Asia to nurture Su Yang so that he could specially produce the liquid for them.
However, he denied almost all of his ideas.
That was because he realized that Su Yang was no longer someone he could touch. Putting aside Su Yang’s power and money, just the complicated relationship he had backing him was more than enough.
‘Among America, China, and Korea, which country would be the easiest to offend?
‘Could the people standing behind Su Yang be drinking his oral fluids as well?
‘If I make my move against Su Yang, would I get obliterated directly?’
