Chapter 62 Dao Sect News
Shanghai.
To the outside world, DiMax Biopharma is just an ordinary pharmaceutical company and is inconspicuous.
There is another mystery inside.
The company's real R&D team actually only serves one person, the actual investor behind the scenes - Wei Tianli, an invisible billionaire with a net worth of billions.
There is only one topic: how to prolong life.
It is not new that the rich extend their lifespans. There are many research institutions in various countries. The market potential is as high as two or three hundred billion US dollars, and the prospects were once promising.
For the super-rich, spending hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars to extend their lifespan by a few years is a great bargain.
On this day, Wei Tianli came to DM Company and, accompanied by chief scientist Dr. Chen, visited the latest .
Then enter the conference room and listen to the detailed report.
The more he listened, the gloomier Wei Tianli's face became. He interrupted Dr. Chen's long speech rudely, "After all this talk, in the final analysis, 40 million has been spent, but there are still no substantial results, right?"
He is 58 years old this year.
It's urgent.
"A breakthrough has been made," Dr. Chen said awkwardly.
"I don't want progress, I just want results, results, understand?" Wei Tianli said coldly, "If this is the case, then I can only terminate the cooperation."
He is not afraid of spending money, but he doesn't want to be a rich man either.
Upon hearing that their financial sponsor was withdrawing its investment, Dr. Chen and the only additional audience member in the conference room, DM Company President Xu Lang, felt as if they had lost their parents, as if the world had come to an end.
If this were to happen, not only would the DM company go bankrupt immediately, but all previous research would also be in vain.
"Mr. Wei, I have another piece of news. Would you like to hear it?" Xu Lang asked flatteringly.
"Tell me about it." Wei Tianli did not comment.
What he did just now was actually to put pressure on DM.
"Mr. Wei, have you ever heard of ancient martial arts?" Xu Lang asked.
"I've heard a little about it." The higher up you are in the social hierarchy, the wider the channels you have to access information, and naturally you'll be able to learn some news that ordinary people can't.
Of course, these are just glimpses of the real inside information. It is difficult to know the real inside information without going deep into that circle.
In the past decade or so, martial arts halls and kendo halls have sprung up rapidly. This is certainly due to cultural awakening, but the reason why it has developed so rapidly is actually because of the ancient martial arts sects and families who have been pushing it forward.
Xu Lang did not keep the secret and said, "In the past year, a strange thing has happened in the ancient martial arts circle. From the elderly to the martial artists who have just started to learn martial arts, they have all entered "Honghuang" and quietly developed their skills. It is said that this is because they found that the martial arts secrets in "Honghuang" can actually be used in real life."
"Is there such a strange thing?"
"It's absolutely true." Xu Lang said firmly , "I have a friend who comes from an ancient martial arts family."
"Even if it is true, does it have anything to do with what we are discussing now?" At Wei Tianli's current age, even if he has the secret book, it is too late to learn martial arts.
and,
I've never heard that practicing martial arts can increase your lifespan.
Most of them are short-lived.
"If it were just this one piece of news, it really wouldn't have much value. The strange thing is that in the past six months, my friend said that even the Taoist sect has begun to pay attention to "Honghuang."" Xu Lang said.
The ancient martial arts circle has some connection with Taoism, so they are more informed.
"Taoists also play games?" Wei Tianli was surprised.
"It's not a Taoist priest, it's a Taoist sect." Xu Lang corrected.
"Is there any difference?" Wei Tianli didn't understand the inside story.
Xu Lang explained: "The Taoist sect is a hidden sect. They spend most of their time looking for places to practice in secret, pursuing the illusory path to immortality, and are never known to the outside world. This time, it was because of the sudden purchase of the game cabin that some news was leaked and was noticed by the ancient martial arts family."
"Are you saying that there is really such a thing as practicing Taoism to achieve immortality?" Wei Tianli didn't believe it.
"I didn't dare to say it before, but now, I think it's somewhat certain." Xu Lang suddenly became mysterious.
"What do you mean?"
"My friend said that two years ago, a word was circulated within the Taoist sect."
"What word?"
"Spiritual energy is reviving!"
"Resurrection of spiritual energy? What does that mean?" Wei Tianli was confused.
Xu Lang shook his head. "This... I'm afraid only people in the Dao sect know about it. Even when people in the ancient martial arts circle ask about it, they remain silent. But just from the meaning of the words, it's already full of imagination."
"So what?" Wei Tianli did not comment.
"At present, the only channel to get the answer is the game "Honghuang". The fact that it is paid attention to by Taoism and ancient martial arts, the two most mysterious forces in China, shows its extraordinaryness." Xu Lang said.
"Have you ever investigated the background of "Honghuang"? " Wei Tianli asked subconsciously.
"We investigated, but we didn't find any useful information. The third-party agency responsible for operating "Honghuang" is only responsible for the maintenance of the official website and the sale of game cards. We know nothing else. The real game maker seems to have disappeared into thin air."
"The ancient martial arts circle also sent people to investigate, but also found nothing," Xu Lang added.
"Is it so mysterious?" Although Wei Tianli did not have a deep understanding of ancient martial arts, he also knew what kind of connections those ancient martial arts families had in the political and business circles.
That's it, nothing can be found.
"It's quite interesting." Wei Tianli muttered to himself.
Xu Lang took the opportunity to say, "Mr. Wei, what I mean is that it's better to persist in the research on NMN. It would be a pity to give up now. But at the same time, you can also pay attention to "Honghuang". Maybe there will be some unexpected surprises."
"Okay, I'll give you another year."
Because of Xu Lang's loyalty, Wei Tianli decided to give DM another chance. To put it another way, he couldn't find a better R&D institution for the time being.
Just make do with it for now.
"Thank you, Mr. Wei, thank you, Mr. Wei!" Xu Lang and Dr. Chen were both very grateful.
"That "Honghuang"? In your opinion, how should we pay attention to it?" His face was calm, but once it came to increasing lifespan, Wei Tianli's heart was still burning with excitement.
Xu Lang understood what he meant and said, "I suggest that Mr. Wei take the trouble to personally enter "Honghuang" to experience it. With your vision and talent, you might be able to discover something."
When it comes to flattery, Xu Lang is a professional.
"Me?" Wei Tianli was surprised. "People who play games are all young people. What can I do at my age?" He heard that there was fighting and killing all the time in the game, and he didn't want to be humiliated.
Xu Lang also knew Wei Tianli's concerns, and said with a smile: "Now that games have become professional , if Mr. Wei wants to play comfortably, he can just buy a game studio and guarantee that he can enjoy round-the-clock security services."
"That's pretty good." Wei Tianli nodded.
"Then... I'll arrange it?" Xu Lang wanted to take the opportunity to improve his relationship with Wei Tianli.
As for exploring the secrets of "Honghuang", Xu Lang himself didn't really believe it. It was too vague and he had no clue.
In comparison, money comes more steadily.
In order to get information from his ancient martial arts friend, Xu Lang spent a lot of money.
"Okay."
Wei Tianli naturally also knows how to employ people.
…
A week later.
The Huangsha Mercenary Group in Liaodong County, Youzhou, quietly replaced its leader.
The team leader's background is mysterious. He does not give his name, only calling himself Lao Wei.
The new head of the regiment’s first order was to respond to the call from the Liaodong Jiedushi Mansion, enter the eastern Xianbei territory, and cooperate in the sweep of the small tribes on the eastern Xianbei border.
