I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"I've approached many people, but no one is willing to invest."

"Now I don't know who else I can turn to, and there's no time left."

"I don't want to give up, but I'm powerless to do anything about it."

Xue Ze dusted himself off, smiled at Zheng Qiuyi, then nodded slightly to Qin Ge behind her before turning and leaving.

"Wait a minute!"

Zheng Qiuyi stopped Xue Ze, "You just told that person in the Bentley that investing in you would definitely make money, right?"

"I can invest in you!"

She's really rich now, with 300 million yuan in hand. She still has a sum left after selling the company, so making Qin Ge's stomach medicine probably won't cost that much.

Qin Ge's lips twitched. He finally understood how Zheng Qiuyi's previous company had suffered losses.

Have you even asked them what their situation is before you're ready to invest?

You just bumped into a stranger by chance, and you're already giving them money just because they're down on their luck? No matter how much wealth you have, it's not enough to keep them from being treated like this!

Xue Ze stopped and turned around, his eyes brightening before quickly dimming again. "Thank you for your kindness, young lady, but I need a lot of investment, and you can't help me with that."

"You yourself have to find investors and get rejected, so where are you going to get the money to invest in me?"

"Thank you for your kind offer anyway. I'll think of another way. If it doesn't work, I'll just have to give up."

"Who do you think you are?" Zheng Qiuyi said unhappily. "Tell me, how big is your funding gap?"

"If it really can make money as you say, I'm definitely willing to invest!"

Xue Ze eyed Zheng Qiuyi suspiciously for a moment, then looked at Qin Ge with a wary expression. "You're not from the Chen family, are you?"

"Is it really necessary to be so ruthless and eliminate them all?"

Zheng Qiuyi was completely confused. "What Chen family? What does that mean?"

"My name is Zheng Qiuyi, and his name is Qin Ge. We have absolutely nothing to do with the surname Chen!"

"What nonsense! Do you even want to invest?"

"If you're interested, tell me about your project and convince me that investing in you can really make money!"

"That's good." Xue Ze breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Sorry, I thought you were from the Chen family of Mo City."

"Ms. Zheng, are you serious? You really want to invest in me?"

"It's not that it's impossible!" Qin Ge said, "but you have to explain to us clearly what you need the money for, and also, what's the deal with the Chen family in Mo City that you just mentioned?"

"Don't tell me things that have nothing to do with investment; you need to show us your sincerity."

Xue Ze remained silent for a while, then looked around before finally making up his mind, "Okay, I'll take this gamble and trust you!"

"Would it be convenient for you two to talk somewhere else?"

Ten minutes later, the three arrived at a nearby coffee shop and went into a private room.

"You two should both know about the lockdown in Beidu, right? My factory is making vaccines against that flu virus!"

"We are currently in the mass production stage, which requires a lot of capital, and we have no income for the time being, so I can't continue."

"But I was unwilling to give up, so I had to ask around for funding through connections. As you all know, the result was basically the same as what you just saw."

Xue Ze gave another wry smile, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Who are you?" Qin Ge's face suddenly turned cold, startling Zheng Qiuyi. "Were you putting on an act for us in the parking lot just now?"

"Who sent you? You've got some nerve, setting a trap for me!"

Zheng Qiuyi tugged at Qin Ge, "What are you talking about? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Xue Ze was also bewildered. "Mr. Qin, what do you mean by that?"

"I don't know you at all. The people in the parking lot just now were from the Ye family. I was looking for investment from them, and you just happened to run into me."

"Where does this talk of a setup come from?"

"Still being stubborn?" Qin Ge scoffed. "Your words are full of holes, yet you still refuse to admit it?"

"Okay, I'll ask you."

"Firstly, how long does it take for a vaccine to go from the start of research to successful research, then to passing clinical trials and being ready for mass production?"

"Secondly, the Zhao family's vaccine was announced to be on the market today, didn't you know?"

"The Zhao family has already taken the lead. What makes you think you can compete with them?"

"Given this situation, where do you get the confidence to say you can definitely make money? What else is that but a scam?"

He was still wondering why the Zhao family's vaccine had come out just as Beidu was under lockdown, and now another one was coming out. Wasn't this ridiculous?

Could it be that those who conduct vaccine research all possess the ability to predict the future?

"So that's what Mr. Qin suspects." Xue Ze's expression calmed down. "I can explain, but it's a long story. Would you two like to hear it?"

"I originally owned a company in Mexico City, with my own factory and production line, Huize Biotechnology."

"Wait a minute, what company did you just mention?" Qin Ge felt like she'd heard the name "Huize" somewhere before. "You're Xue Ze, the boss of Huize Biotechnology in MoCheng?!"

Xue Ze was taken aback. "Mr. Qin knows me?"

"I know." Qin Ge nodded. "Go on, didn't Huize get messed up? How did you end up in Beidu?"

"And where did you get your factory from?"

Le Fei had told him that Huize Biotechnology Company in Mo City was framed and eventually ended up in the hands of the Zhao family!

This is getting interesting; Qin Ge sensed a strong undercurrent of conspiracy.

What is meant to be will be; what is meant to be will be.

Xue Ze looked at Qin Ge, hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "A few months ago, I learned about the existence of that flu virus in Mo City and discovered that it was highly contagious."

"At the time, not many people took it seriously. I reported it to the relevant departments several times, but the result was still the same."

"From that time on, I knew that this virus would eventually get out of control, so I had the company's R&D team start working on a vaccine."

"Everything went smoothly at first, but then I was set up."

"Those people colluded with the banks to cut off my company's funding, using various means to gradually push me into a corner, their goal being to acquire my company!"

"I gritted my teeth and held on for a while, but eventually I accepted reality and realized that I was powerless to change anything."

"However, I was cautious and made preparations in advance."

"I have a good friend in Taipei who also works in biotechnology."

"After discussing it with him, I gradually transferred my research team and research results to Beidu, where I continued to conduct research using my friend's research center, and later used the production line for production."

"But he wasn't in a good position either. The project was extremely expensive and didn't generate any returns, so he finally couldn't hold on any longer."

"If you're not willing to give up, you can only find someone to invest money."

"It's not that I'm pretending to be high-minded, but now my friends and I share the same idea: even if we don't make money, we still want to produce the vaccine."

"That flu virus is really not as simple as everyone thinks; quite a few people have already died!"
