"If you can cure this strange illness, you will be a great contributor. I will do whatever I can to grant you any benefits you desire!" Prince Matthew looked at Jiang Yi and said, "Tell me, what benefits do you want!"
Tracy and the nobles also looked at Jiang Yi, all curious about what he desired.
"Prince Matthew, I wish to contribute! Therefore, I hope you will entrust me with the task of manufacturing the medicine. The Dasheng Group has many pharmaceutical factories, and I will definitely produce a large quantity of medicine as soon as possible to treat the citizens afflicted by this strange illness!" Jiang Yi grinned. "Actually, I want to take this opportunity to earn a little money!"
"No problem, the task of producing the medicine will be yours. I have full confidence in your capabilities!" Prince Matthew agreed on the spot.
"Thank you, Prince Matthew!" Jiang Yi said gratefully.
Jiang Yi rejoiced inwardly. Although producing this medicine would only earn a small profit on the surface, it would actually yield significant wealth. The primary ingredient in the medicine Jiang Yi developed was Jerusalem artichokes, which were rampant in Eagle Country. When Jiang Yi was still in Simon State, he owned many farms where large quantities of Jerusalem artichokes were grown. Therefore, the cost was very low, and the Tiansheng Group could make a substantial profit from it. This strange illness had already spread to many countries, and the Dasheng Group was the only group capable of manufacturing the medicine to cure it. This meant that the medicine was monopolized by the Dasheng Group, and their pharmaceuticals would soon be sold worldwide. It was impossible for the Tiansheng Group not to prosper now.
"Jiang Yi, there's no time to delay. Hurry and have the Tiansheng Group mass-produce this medicine! We absolutely cannot give the Eagle Country Royal Family any chance to gain an advantage!" Prince Matthew said with a grave expression. "If you need anything, just ask, and I will fulfill your request!"
"Yes!" Jiang Yi nodded and replied to Prince Matthew. "Prince Matthew, my previous Jerusalem artichoke plan was very successful. It not only solved the problem of the rampant Jerusalem artichokes but also brought prosperity to the people of the four states. Although the economy of the four states is now top-tier in Eagle Country, it has undergone tremendous changes. The Jerusalem artichoke plan has caused the four states to become rapidly prosperous!"
"What are you trying to say?" Prince Matthew asked.
"Prince Matthew, to be frank, the main raw material needed to manufacture the medicine for this strange illness is Jerusalem artichokes. I want to incorporate it into the Jerusalem artichoke plan and have everyone present invest some money to contribute to overcoming the strange illness!" Jiang Yi said.
Prince Matthew was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.
"We are willing to do our utmost to contribute to overcoming the strange illness!"
"Yes, we will gather funds for investment even if we have to sell our possessions!"
"We are nobles of Eagle Country, and it is our duty to contribute to the general populace. We are duty-bound to do so!"
The nobles spoke volubly. Jiang Yi was now considered a god of wealth by everyone. Those who followed Jiang Yi had all become wealthy. Naturally, these nobles did not want to miss this opportunity to strike it rich when Jiang Yi launched an investment. However, being nobles, they could not appear to be misers, so they all framed their participation as contributing to the populace. Prince Matthew knew that these nobles wanted to get rich by following Jiang Yi but did not expose them. Greed was a highly respected trait in Eagle Country's culture.
"You can do as you see fit; I have no objections!" Prince Matthew said. "But you must guarantee that the pharmaceutical manufacturing process proceeds without any errors or disruptions!"
"I understand!" Jiang Yi nodded.
Seeing that Prince Matthew had nothing else to add, Jiang Yi turned to the nobles. "Everyone, the Priest's Manor will be renovated soon. I hope you will all grace us with your presence then." After speaking, Jiang Yi turned and left the hall.
Upon arriving in the courtyard outside, as Jiang Yi was about to get into his car to leave, Tracy suddenly emerged. "My adoptive father said that the Eagle Country Royal Family will continue to target you. He is worried and has asked me to stay by your side during this time to protect you!" Tracy said. "Don't worry, I am not monitoring you this time; it's purely for protection!"
"You don't need to protect me. I won't be in any danger!" Jiang Yi stated. "Many of the castle bodyguards I trained have already arrived in the capital. You have seen their skills; any one of them is far more formidable than a member of the Royal Guard. The Eagle Country Royal Family cannot do anything to me!" After speaking, Jiang Yi directly got into his car and drove away from the castle.
Jiang Yi drove all the way to the capital's branch company. Upon arrival, Jiang Yi instructed his secretary to arrange an online meeting. This online meeting was conducted via video conference, with Oriental Mei, Shen Lu, Dong Rui, Xu Yun, and many branch managers participating. In short, all high-level executives of the Tiansheng Group would attend. Even Liu Hong and Jiang Xiaoxin, who were far away in the capital, joined the meeting.
"Everyone, the Tiansheng Group has an opportunity!" Jiang Yi announced. "Many people in Eagle Country, Meimei Country, and dozens of other countries have contracted a strange illness. I have already developed the medicine to cure this illness, and many people are awaiting these medications! This is not only an opportunity for the Tiansheng Group to make a fortune but also a chance to expand our influence. I hope we can cooperate and work together to create brilliance!"
Upon hearing this, applause erupted from the attendees. Afterward, Jiang Yi invited everyone to share their thoughts and opinions, and they immediately began to speak freely. The meeting lasted a full three hours. Although this was an online meeting and not as spectacular as an offline one, it would propel the Tiansheng Group to the pinnacle of the world.
After the meeting concluded, everyone gradually departed, except for Liu Hong and Jiang Xiaoxin.
"Mom, Xiaoxin, are you both well?" Jiang Yi asked Liu Hong and Jiang Xiaoxin through the video.
"We are well!" Liu Hong replied. "Your sister and I are worried about you. Oriental Mei has informed me about your intention to take action against the Eagle Country Royal Family. This matter is too perilous; you must be careful!" Liu Hong's voice was filled with concern.
"I will be careful!" Jiang Yi nodded. "I actually don't want you to risk yourself for revenge. I believe that if your father and master knew, they would also not wish for you to take risks for revenge!"
"I know your temperament. Once you decide to do something, I can't stop you! So I know that no matter how much I try to persuade you, it will be futile!" Liu Hong took a deep breath.
