140: Spring water testing, trace elements

"Manager Ma, I have the detailed inspection report for the sample I gave you."

Jiang Chuan called Manager Ma and said with a smile.

"Yes, President Jiang, we conducted a comprehensive test on the spring water you provided."

"We found many microorganisms in it, including trace elements that inhibit the growth of diseases. This is one of the reasons why the villagers in that village can live long lives."

"At the same time, we also discovered a trace element that can slowly alter physical constitution. This trace element is too scarce; we only found it after countless tests. To slowly improve one's physical fitness using this spring water, one might need to consume it for twenty years or more."

"...President Jiang, the final result of the spring water sample you provided is that this spring water is indeed beneficial to humans, but the trace elements inside are too few to have an immediate effect; it requires a process."

"If we were to develop a biological agent using this spring water to inhibit human diseases, it would be very difficult."

"Based on our projections, we can use the trace elements to create a product that maintains skin vitality. After all, the spring water contains these trace elements. Using our product for just one month can show results, stimulating skin vitality and even delaying skin aging if used continuously."

Manager Ma gave his final conclusion and simultaneously stated the research direction.

He is an Expert in biology, and developing products that delay skin aging is easy, but developing a specialized medicine that inhibits or even eradicates diseases is too difficult, given the scarcity of trace elements.

"I understand."

"If I can continuously supply you with this spring water, would you be able to extract the trace elements and develop a specialized medicine that inhibits or even eradicates diseases?"

Jiang Chuan understood Manager Ma's meaning and asked solemnly.

"President Jiang, if you can continuously provide this spring water, we can certainly try. Even if we cannot develop a fast-acting medicine, we can still develop products that delay skin aging, and the effects would be even better."

"Because we initially thought the spring water was scarce, we believed we would only be able to artificially synthesize these trace elements through technological means. If we can continuously receive the spring water, our research directions can greatly expand."

Hearing that Jiang Chuan could continuously supply the spring water, Manager Ma spoke with great excitement.

"Alright, you can start the research. Once I've finished communicating, I will have someone send the spring water to you."

Jiang Chuan smiled as he heard Manager Ma's words.

"Understood, President Jiang."

Manager Ma waited quietly for Jiang Chuan's reply.

Jiang Chuan ended the call and, without hesitation, immediately contacted Steel Gun King, wanting to know the phone number of their village elder.

Steel Gun King told Jiang Chuan that their elder did not use a cell phone, but he did have the number of another villager.

Jiang Chuan requested the other villager's number, introduced himself, and stated his purpose.

Thanks to the development and promotion by Tianxia Group, many people have recently traveled to Changsheng Village, this primitive settlement, thereby increasing the villagers' income. Especially since Jiang Chuan buys the spring water every year, making every one of them wealthy, they naturally agreed to his request immediately.

"Elder, President Jiang called me; he wants to discuss something with you."

The villager found the elder and spoke respectfully.

"Give me the phone."

The elder nodded and agreed.

"Elder, I want more spring water from Changsheng Village, and of course, I will pay for it."

Jiang Chuan directly stated the reason for his call.

The elder's face instantly darkened. Seeing his expression, the villager was completely dumbfounded, unsure what Jiang Chuan had said to the elder.

"Boy, are you trying to push your luck? Although you are..."

The elder said coldly, his face gloomy.

"Elder, you misunderstood; I didn't explain myself clearly," Jiang Chuan said with a wry smile, realizing the elder's misunderstanding.

"Elder, the reason I want more spring water is that I had it tested. It is highly possible that this spring water can be used to develop a specialized medicine that inhibits or even eradicates diseases. If successful, we might be able to cure cancer. This is something that will benefit the people of Huaguo."

"As you know, many people outside Changsheng Village are suffering from diseases..."

Jiang Chuan revealed the true purpose of wanting the spring water.

"Are you telling the truth?"

The elder was a man with a deep sense of patriotism and duty. Learning that Jiang Chuan intended to use the spring water to help those suffering in Huaguo, he asked seriously.

"Elder, I can guarantee this is true. You can supervise me, and you can also have my grandfather supervise me."

Jiang Chuan said with great certainty.

"Once the fast-acting medicine is researched, what will your selling price be?"

The elder knew the influential person backing Jiang Chuan, and he trusted that man, so he asked about the outcome instead.

Jiang Chuan hadn't expected the elder to think ahead to the success of the medicine. He promised solemnly: "Elder, I guarantee that I will sell it at the lowest possible price domestically. I can even unconditionally give it to those who need the fast-acting medicine but cannot afford it."

"As for the price abroad..."

"As long as you can guarantee that the fast-acting medicine, once successful, will be sold at the lowest price and given to those suffering, I can agree to provide you with the spring water."

"As for foreign countries... you handle that as you see fit."

The elder agreed to Jiang Chuan's request.

"Thank you, Elder."

Jiang Chuan laughed happily; the elder and the young man had settled the issue of the spring water.

"Brother Long, find some trustworthy people to return to the country. They need to come back to transport some materials for me. These materials are extremely important and must not be discovered by others; they require secret transportation. If people find out, we will be targeted, and that village will also be in danger."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chuan felt that the spring water was crucial as it concerned a life-saving fast-acting medicine. He contacted Dragon Soul Mercenary Group, asking him to arrange for some highly capable and trustworthy personnel to return to Huaguo.

"Alright, Xiao Chuan, I will have them rush to Huaguo immediately. However, some of their identities are quite sensitive, so you might need to handle that matter."

"Understood. You need to warn them beforehand: once they arrive in Huaguo, they must abide by Huaguo law. If they dare to violate any Huaguo law, I will personally kill them."

Jiang Chuan knew that the guys in the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group were a bunch of ruthless individuals, so he instructed Dragon Soul Mercenary Group to give them a heads-up.

"Don't worry, the personnel I send are reliable and will comply with our Huaguo law."

Dragon Soul Mercenary Group understood Jiang Chuan's meaning and said with a smile.

The two ended the call, and Dragon Soul Mercenary Group immediately arranged for trusted confidants to fly to Huaguo.

After resolving the spring water issue, Jiang Chuan also informed Manager Ma that the spring water would be continuously delivered to him in a few days. He stressed that as long as they could develop the fast-acting medicine, Manager Ma should not worry about the cost or fear failure, as long as the final result was beneficial.

Manager Ma happily agreed.

After finishing his conversation with Manager Ma, Jiang Chuan began returning calls one after another.
