Chapter 159: What kind of sin did he commit!

Better resources?

For Tang Xingwen to say that, the resources must be quite impressive.

“Go ahead and tell me!” Shen Fei said seriously.

“It’s like this! After you gave the 50 million, I started looking for a suitable laboratory for the scar removal ointment’s development. But setting up a lab, finding a place, and buying equipment would be too troublesome… so I asked around among people I know if there were any labs nearby that fit my needs and were being shut down.”

“After inquiring, I found one! It’s also a cosmetics research lab, a small niche brand. But for some reason, they couldn’t keep it going, so they’re selling off their research lab! I took a look, and they have everything, so I bought it for 20 million!”

“Later, I focused on the scar ointment’s development! But then yesterday, that friend suddenly told me that the company was going under and planning to sell everything, including their factory. I thought, this is perfect!”

“This morning I went for a visit and found that their conditions are not bad! Shen, what do you think? If we buy it, we can directly set up a whole production, research, and sales chain! It’ll save a lot of trouble. Although the scale is small now, if we operate normally, it can still be profitable!”

“Once the scar ointment is developed, we can start production right away. The market channels are already in place, and soon it will cause a wave in the market!”

Tang Xingwen directly shared everything he had learned in one go.

Shen Fei lowered his head and stared at the table in front of him upon hearing this.

If others heard Tang Xingwen’s words, they would definitely laugh at him, thinking he was crazy!

Developing a scar ointment isn’t even finished, and he’s already planning to pave the way for it, even going so far as to buy a company and a factory.

If it succeeds, that’s fine!

But if it fails, all the assets will be tied up in that land, and the losses will outweigh the profits, eventually leading to the company’s demise due to oversupply in the market.

The risk is incredibly high. Even the richest person in China would hesitate upon hearing this.

But Shen Fei didn’t think that way.

As a reborn person, he knew very well that once the scar ointment was on the market, it would be snatched up by the market.

And having his own factory, rather than relying on contract manufacturers, was clearly more profitable.

Even if he didn’t need it now, when the business grows, he would still need to start a company, build his own management system, and marketing strategies, which would require a lot of effort.

Perhaps, he could also let Han Xinyan, who graduated with a marketing degree, practice during this time.

That way, she could have a fulfilling job too!

“Well, this is indeed a good opportunity! Do you know the price the company is asking for?”

Shen Fei asked with some confusion.

“Well… I think it’s probably around 200 to 300 million! This is a small company, with a single product and very low profits, leading to a deficit. If they don’t sell quickly, they’ll be done for!” Tang Xingwen answered directly.

“Alright! We’ll go check out the company first and understand the situation before making a decision!” Shen Fei said seriously.

Then, he directly asked, “Where are you at with the scar ointment?”

Hearing Shen Fei ask about the scar ointment, Tang Xingwen showed a hint of embarrassment.

“The scar ointment is almost ready, but when applied, it feels quite uncomfortable on the skin. I think something in it is too stimulating. But don’t worry, Shen, I’ll definitely figure out how to solve this problem! You can trust me! It won’t be long before the scar ointment is successfully developed!”

Fearing that Shen Fei might stop investing in the project, Tang Xingwen hurriedly explained.

Shen Fei, hearing this, gave a meaningful smile.

“Have you considered trying something else? Identify the source of the irritation and use a gentler plant to replace it or neutralize it?”

Tang Xingwen’s eyes suddenly brightened upon hearing this.

“Plant-based? Replace? Neutralize?”

He muttered to himself.

“Yes, for example, aloe vera can soothe irritation, and mung beans can provide a gentle stimulation. In fact, many traditional remedies describe how to replace stimulants and make the formula gentler. And using plants or flowers usually doesn’t have many side effects!”

Shen Fei explained.

Tang Xingwen found this advice very useful. He thought carefully about what Shen Fei had said.

“Plants? Replace? Neutralize?”

The problem that had been bothering him for days suddenly became clear, and he was hit with a moment of realization.

He was as excited as if he had found money.

“I got it! I got it!!!”

His exclamation was so abrupt that it echoed loudly in the quiet Z.G.C. restaurant.

Everyone turned their heads to look at him, their faces showing displeasure at the disturbance.

Tang Xingwen didn’t notice at all. He stood up excitedly and walked straight toward Shen Fei.

In the next moment, Shen Fei felt a warm sensation on his forehead.

Shen Fei was shocked!!!

What the hell was he thinking?!

As he was about to push Tang Xingwen away, Tang Xingwen let go of him and said excitedly, “Shen, you are my benefactor! Thank you! Thank you so much!”

Tang Xingwen said this with great enthusiasm before he quickly left without caring about his impression on Shen Fei.

Nor did he care about the exquisite dishes now served on the table.

After watching Tang Xingwen leave, Shen Fei couldn’t help but pull out a few napkins and quickly wipe the spot where he had been kissed.

Damn it!

How did I not notice before that this guy is so disgusting?!

After finally suppressing his feelings of disgust and the urge to curse, Shen Fei finally calmed down.

Unbeknownst to him, this scene was rather strange in the eyes of others in the restaurant.

Everyone looked at him with fear and confusion.

When their eyes met Shen Fei’s, he forced a wry smile and became uneasy.

He didn’t care, but he wasn’t indifferent enough to calmly eat while everyone gossiped about him.

Before all the dishes were served, he decided to pay the bill and leave.

Meanwhile, in the Business Department office of Zhongtai Trading.

From the moment Han Xinyan arrived at the company in the morning, she felt the intense attention she was receiving and the deliberate flattery.

Luckily, she had ordered takeout for lunch, otherwise, she would have had to endure even more insincere praise and flattery.

Having experienced the fickleness of human relationships, Han Xinyan, who had never been in such a situation before, couldn’t bear it anymore.

It was simply unbearable.

After struggling for half an hour, she suddenly stood up from her seat.

Although she felt some regret, she still resolutely knocked on the door of Chairman Hu Yuantai’s office.
