Fade walked to the center of the stage, gesturing for the crowd to calm down. The crowd immediately fell into silence.
Fade's imposing manner made Loomis frown. Loomis had a bad feeling about Fade's arrival.
Fade said, "I know that you are all very concerned about the Alstom Antibiotic. I'm here for this matter today."
As soon as they heard that Fade had come to address the issue with the antibiotics, everyone got excited. The conference regained its rowdiness.
"Mr. Chen, are you going to continue with the mass production of the Life Elixir Wine?"
"Mr. Chen, may I ask ask about your thoughts on this?"
"Mr. Chen, do you support the cooperation between the Dragonville municipality and Maritime Ocean Pharma?"
Listening to these questions, Loomis also became interested in hearing Fade's answer.
Fade's expression chilled. He glanced at Loomis and snapped, "Cooperate with Maritime Ocean Pharma? That's impossible!"
As soon as he said that, the reporters burst into an uproar.
"Mr. Chen, are you saying that you oppose the cooperation between Dragonville city and Maritime Ocean Pharma?"
"Mr. Chen, can you tell me the reason why?"
"Mr. Chen, Maritime Ocean Pharma has proposed such a good offer, but you're even objecting it. I'm disappointed."
Hearing these, Fade sneered and said, "A good offer? Are you ignorant or are you just an imbecile?"
"The original price is several hundred yuan, but now the price has shot up to five thousand yuan. The good offer that you are talking about makes me wonder if you had your maths taught by your Physical Education teacher?" Fade shot back.
Suddenly, everyone who had been present at the conference fell into silence and subsequently lowered their heads.
A lot of the people started to analyze the offer proposed. Sure enough, they had been blinded by the facade of a discount. Having heard Fade's wake up call, they realized that the so- called discount was not worth mentioning in the face of the ridiculous price.
Loomis' face crumbled. He quickly sent winked meaningfully to a couple of people in the crowd.
Almost immediately, someone came forward to ask Fade, "Mr. Chen, you are against the cooperation. How about the illness of the commoners? Are we going to drag on like this? Or should we buy your Life Elixir Wine?"
When he threw out the question, he paused in deliberation. Then, he popped a question out of the blue, "Mr. Chen's Life Elixir Wine has gotten a lot of sales during this time of crisis, hasn't it?"
His words were misleading as it had an underlying malice beneath it.
There was no doubt that he was suggesting to everyone that the reason why Fade had opposed to the cooperation was on the basis that he wanted to sell his Life Elixir Wine. The man hinted that it was the instinct of businessmen to seize this opportunity to make a fortune, and that Fade did not care about everyone's health at all.
Sure enough, the crowd looked at Fade suspiciously, they started whispering amongst each other, their prior opinions had also changed.
"I hadn't thought of the fact that he is the one who manufactures the Life Elixir Wine."
"Yes, as long as we don't cooperate, the sales of Life Elixir Wine will continue to rise."
"I thought he was speaking for us, it turns out to be a business tactic huh?"
How could Fade not see through his opponent's scheme? He glared at the member of the audience who spoke and chided, "Nonsense."
