276: Throwing it so fast?

Feng Rui trembled as he took a tablet out of his briefcase and opened a file.

"Mr... Mr. Lin."

"This is... the summary report of all assets for our... Four Major Pharmaceutical Companies: Juli Group, Fengxing Technology, Panshi Biology, and Qingyun Pharmaceutical."

He cleared his throat and began to read the figures, each of which was enough to make any nation tremble.

"The combined estimated total assets of the Four Major Companies are approximately two hundred and fifty trillion yuan."

As his voice trailed off, only Feng Rui's heavy breathing could be heard in the drawing room.

Wang Qingxuan's hand holding the document shook almost imperceptibly.

Two hundred and fifty trillion... What kind of concept was that? One-fifth of the global annual GDP?

"The liquid capital pool that can be mobilized instantly is approximately one hundred trillion yuan."

"The total annual revenue is approximately one hundred and twenty trillion yuan."

With every figure Feng Rui read out, his face turned a shade paler. This capital, which they had once been so proud of, had now become the guillotine hanging over their necks.

"Total drug inventory stands at eighty-eight billion vials, accounting for ninety-two percent of the global tradable drug inventory."

Lin Yu flipped a page of the report, seemingly indifferent to these numbers.

Feng Rui didn't dare stop and continued reading.

"Land control: The four companies collectively hold 0.03 percent of the Earth's surface as industrial land, approximately twenty-eight thousand square kilometers, equivalent to the area of Hainan Island."

"Production monopoly: Controlling ninety-five percent of global drug production capacity."

"Channel control: Directly controlling 1.8 million pharmacies and hospitals. Indirectly influencing over three million medical terminals."

"Transportation hegemony: Possessing a dedicated fleet of 1,200 drug transport planes, eighty thousand armed escort vehicles, and accounting for eighty-seven percent of the global cold-chain maritime shipping market."

These figures were no longer a business report, but a massive, airtight net covering the entire globe.

Feng Rui's voice grew increasingly dry.

"Daily cash flow: An average of three hundred billion yuan per day."

"Regarding pricing strategy..." He paused, not daring to look at Lin Yu.

"The comprehensive production cost of a single vial is approximately five hundred yuan."

"The 'friendship price' for governments and militaries ranges from ten thousand to fifty thousand per vial."

"The public selling price for high-end clients ranges from one hundred thousand to eight hundred thousand per vial."

"Through the black market or emergency channels, it can reach as high as two million per vial."

"The comprehensive... real profit margin exceeds ninety-nine point five percent."

Lin Yu's finger tapped lightly on the report, still silent.

Old Shi's heart sank to the bottom.

He knew that the most fatal part had yet to come.

Feng Rui took a deep breath and continued reporting on their deeper, intertwined influence.

"At the government level, we... we can influence the decisions of the health departments in seventeen countries, provide 'research funding' to forty-five percent of the world's medical regulatory agencies, and hold the status of 'National Strategic Reserve Supplier' in sixty-eight countries."

"At the military cooperation level, we provide special-supply drugs to the militaries of thirty-two countries and hold 'Wartime Production Compulsory Licenses' in twelve of them."

"Additionally, we possess a 'security force' totaling eighty-five thousand personnel."

A private armed force of eighty-five thousand people.

This was already equivalent to the standing army of a medium-sized country.

"At the financial manipulation level, we jointly control 2,800 offshore funds, capable of instantly shorting or longing the pharmaceutical stocks of any country, and have the ability to create or settle any raw material price crisis."

Feng Rui could no longer continue reading.

The tablet in his hand felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds.

This was no asset report; it was clearly... a list of evidence for their crimes.

A piece of evidence sufficient to nail all of them to the pillar of historical shame.

Old Shi took over the conversation, his voice hoarse and weary.

"Mr. Lin, besides these, there are the specific assets of each company."

"Juli Group wholly owns Juli Raw Material Drug Company, with an annual production capacity of 450,000 tons. It holds eighty-five percent of Juli International Logistics and seventy percent of Juli Medical Equipment..."

"Fengxing Technology's core is genetic technology, with 1,285 core patents and forty-two pipelines under development. It also controls two major subsidiaries: Fengxing Gene and Fengxing Diagnostics..."

"Panshi Biology monopolizes vaccines and plasma products, operating several high-level biosafety laboratories..."

"Qingyun Pharmaceutical holds seven national-level confidential prescriptions, has nine contracted National Medical Masters, and maintains deep cooperation with twenty-eight universities of Chinese medicine..."

With every sentence Old Shi spoke, it felt as if a portion of his strength was being drained away.

He was dismantling the commercial empire he and his companions had spent their lives building, piece by piece, and presenting it to Lin Yu.

Every subsidiary, every patent, and every partnership represented endless wealth and power.

And now, they were all about to change hands.

Finally, all the reports were finished.

The drawing room was terrifyingly silent.

Wang Teng and Feng Rui kept their heads bowed, their breathing cautious.

Old Shi stood there like a dried-up statue, waiting for the final verdict.

Lin Yu finally closed the report in his hand.

It was the one prepared by Li Mo and Wang Qingxuan, which was merely an "acquisition list" of all valuable researchers from the Four Major Companies.

But compared to the list in Feng Rui's hand, this thing was truly nothing.

Meanwhile, Li Mo, standing behind Lin Yu, had a brain that was currently a complete mess.

What happened?

How long had he been out?

He had just picked up Wang Qingxuan and confirmed the list. Although it took some time... how did the atmosphere turn into this upon his return?

The Four Major Pharmaceutical Companies, that behemoth perched upon the economic lifeblood of the Blue Star, to which even the military and officials had to show respect... they just surrendered like that?

And it wasn't just an ordinary surrender.

This was stripping down to their underwear and proactively pointing out every thread and every patch, for fear that you wouldn't see them clearly.

An asset report?

Li Mo looked at Old Shi's face, which seemed to have lost all hope in life, and then at Feng Rui, who was shaking so hard he was about to fall apart.

This posture clearly showed they had confessed everything down to their ancestors' eighteen generations.

He couldn't help but turn his gaze toward the Young Man sitting calmly on the sofa, who had done nothing but flip through reports from beginning to end.

Boss... tell me the truth.

Can you perform hypnosis?

Or did you secretly unleash some ultimate move while I was away?

Otherwise, this just doesn't make sense!

Not only was Li Mo stunned, but Wang Qingxuan beside him was so shocked her legs felt weak.

Two hundred and fifty trillion... one hundred trillion in liquid capital... three hundred billion daily income... As the daughter of the chairman of Tianqing Group, she believed she had a clear understanding of the scale of a commercial empire.

She had seen Heavenly Aegis's financial statements; it was already a giant that ranked highly in Linzhou and even the entire country.

But compared to them now... the difference was indeed far too great.

Wang Qingxuan's hand holding that "acquisition list" couldn't stop trembling.

She suddenly felt that her previous ambition to help her boss integrate the business landscape was incredibly naive and laughable.

She couldn't help but ask the greatest doubt in her heart.

"Old... Old Shi, forgive my boldness."

"The Four Major Companies... possess such terrifying strength, so why... do they seem to have so little fame internationally?"
