Chapter 249: Thank you for the generous gift, here's an extra chapter! [Don't say anything untrue about the price.]

Watching Jiang Jing instantly switch from a patriotic entrepreneur to a "profiteer" mode, Staff Officer Zhang and Deputy Director Liu were stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! It should be! It must be expensive, make it expensive as hell!" Staff Officer Zhang slapped his thigh and laughed.

"That's right, earn their money ruthlessly, we absolutely support it!" Deputy Director Liu also chimed in with a laugh.

They were naturally happy to see this happen; not only could it compensate for Jiang Jing's "losses," but it could also generate significant tax revenue and foreign exchange income for the country—killing multiple birds with one stone.

After the laughter, the atmosphere became even more harmonious.

The main event that followed was the formal negotiation regarding the patent licensing and cooperation for the "Avatar" system.

Since both sides were extremely sincere, and coupled with clear instructions from higher-ups to offer Jiang Jing favorable terms, the negotiations proceeded exceptionally smoothly.

The Dragon Country official authorities spent a huge sum to purchase the usage rights for the technology, and the generosity of the terms surprised even Jiang Jing, far exceeding his initial expectations.

He understood that this was not only due to the immeasurable value of the technology itself, but likely also included compensation from the state for his charitable act of donating the Prosthetic limb.

"Happy cooperation, Brother Jiang!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Both sides stood up, shook hands firmly, and their faces were beaming with satisfied smiles.

With matters settled, Staff Officer Zhang and Deputy Director Liu stood up to leave.

Jiang Jing personally escorted the two to the manor gate.

Before getting into the car, Deputy Director Liu seemed to suddenly remember something, stopped, leaned in close to Jiang Jing mysteriously, and lowered his voice to say:

"Brother Jiang, remember to tune in to cctv news at 7 PM tonight."

He winked, a mysterious smile on his face: "There will be a surprise."

"Oh? A surprise?" Jiang Jing was slightly stunned, then smiled knowingly and nodded: "Alright, I will definitely watch it on time."

Watching the vehicle drive away, the smile on Jiang Jing's lips deepened.

cctv news?

A surprise?

It seems the state is planning to make a gesture.

"Hmm, today is truly a good day." Jiang Jing hummed a tune, deciding to go find his beauties to properly [express] this joy.

As for the evening news, he was genuinely looking forward to what kind of "surprise" the state would give him.

Remembering the export of the beauty serum, he placed a call to Jiang Yan.

The call connected quickly, and Jiang Yan's voice came through: "Boss, what are your instructions?"

"Jiang Yan, prepare yourself, the beauty serum can start being exported," Jiang Jing said directly. "The inventory should be enough for the first batch."

"As for the price..." He paused, a mischievous smile curling his lips, "Set it at 30,000 USD per bottle! After-tax price! Go ahead and publish it."

On the other end of the line, even though Jiang Yan was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but gasp upon hearing this price.

30,000 USD after tax, equivalent to over 210,000 RMB!

Over two hundred thousand for a small bottle; this price was basically holding a butcher's knife to harvest international leeks.

You have to know, the domestic price is only 10,000 RMB.

"Boss, this price... won't it..." Jiang Yan instinctively wanted to confirm.

"That's the price." Jiang Jing's tone was unquestionable. "Take it or leave it. Tell them production capacity is limited, first come, first served."

"Yes, Boss, I understand. I will handle it immediately." Jiang Yan understood what Jiang Jing meant—this was specifically to harvest those top foreign tycoons and celebrities.

She instantly became excited; such tough terms were so satisfying to execute!

The official website and major social media platforms of Xingchen Technology quickly updated with a blockbuster announcement.

Announcing that the huanyan beauty serum was officially accepting overseas pre-orders, and attached was that jaw-dropping price: 30,000 USD.

As soon as the announcement was released, there was an immediate uproar.

Domestic netizens discovered the announcement immediately and burst into laughter, flooding the Xingchen Technology official website and Weibo with comments:

"Holy crap, 30,000 USD?! And that's after tax?! Awesome!!!"

"Hahahaha! Butcher price! A blatant butcher price!"

"Well done! We should ruthlessly earn money from those foreigners! Support!"

"Selling for 10,000 RMB domestically, selling for 30,000 USD abroad? I love this double standard! Jiang Jing knows how to price!"

"Asking, is it too late to join a foreign nationality and buy it now? Oh wait, joining a foreign nationality might be more expensive? (Dog head)"

"I'm going to grab a bit more of the domestic version... Hehe..."

"Dashachun, what are you doing!"

Amidst the revelry, a few individuals online voiced different opinions: "Isn't this price a bit too expensive? Although the effects are good, isn't 30,000 USD too exaggerated? Won't this affect our international image?"

This post was quickly pushed up by netizens who loved watching the chaos.

Just as everyone was arguing, an account that no one expected suddenly descended into the comment section of this post and left a reply.

The person who replied was none other than Jiang Jing himself.

[Where is it expensive? Don't spread misinformation, okay? Domestic brands are having a hard time. Sometimes foreigners should look for reasons within themselves. After so many years, have their wages increased? Have they been working hard?]

After a brief silence, the entire comment section instantly exploded!

"Pfft hahahahaha hahahahaha..."

"Holy crap, the man himself is joining in on the meme?!"

"Hahahaha! It's like the eyebrow pencil guy possessed him!"

"Big Boss Jiang: That's right, I copied the homework, so what!"

"It's over, it's over, this has truly become an international meme!"

"Support Boss Jiang! If foreigners don't work hard, why should they use our Dragon Country's top luxury goods?"

"I'm dying of laughter, guys! I can laugh at this response from Jiang Jing for a year!"

The comment section was completely flooded with "Hahaha" and "Support," and that questioning post was instantly drowned out.

Just as this internet revelry reached its climax, at exactly 7 PM, the familiar opening music of cctv news resounded in thousands of households.

Jiang Jing also sat in front of the huge TV in the living room for a rare occasion, cuddling a girl in his arms, curiously wanting to see what Deputy Director Liu's so-called surprise really was.

After the previous domestic and international major news reports were finished, the screen changed, and the anchor said in a solemn yet slightly impassioned tone: "Next, we will broadcast a special report from this station."
