549 Public Auction for Life First
The news continued to spread, and all the key figures in China learned about it.
They were incredibly busy because controllable nuclear fusion would greatly change the existing structure of energy.
They could completely abandon many things, such as thermal power stations, coal power generation, or hydraulic power generation.
However, Wu Mo knew that the sea monsters had not completely disappeared.
They could not underestimate the mysterious quasi sea monster and the fifth-ranking hellhound sea monster.
With the death of the other three giants, these two had become increasingly cunning. They had not shown themselves for about half a month.
In the meantime, the three major potions in the Institute of Special Biology had entered the late stage of popularization. Life First had increased the lifespan of many Chinese people.
Now, Wu Mo was ready to sell them.
Once news of this came out, there was a huge stir!
“Oh, my God, China is going to sell the Life potions!”
As soon as a senior reporter from a top foreign media outlet heard about this, he immediately went to China’s Institute of Special Biology for an interview.
The interviewees included Xu Wanqing and a few other researchers.
After all, Wu Mo had to travel between the Sea Monster Research Base and the Western Desert Nuclear Reactor Base.
As for the research site of the three potions, Wu Mo could pretty much leave Xu Wanqing and the others in charge.
They only needed Wu Mo’s authorization to open up the sale of Life First.
Following his advice, the remaining stock of Life First would be quickly sold to people who needed it abroad.
They would prioritize those who had made significant contributions to the entire human society, such as scientists or top talents in a certain field.
It was Wu Mo’s wish. He believed that Life First should never be used on useless individuals because it was a divine medicine that could increase one’s lifespan.
They could increase a useless person’s lifespan, but in the end, he would still be useless!
His words immediately caused a great uproar.
However, Wu Mo was a straightforward person. Once they understood his opinion, no one dared to refute him.
“May I ask where Mr. Wu Mo is?”
The reporter was a little disappointed when he arrived at the Institute of Special Biology.
He was there to interview Wu Mo, but he realized that Wu Mo was not around!
“Chief Engineer Wu is extremely busy at the moment. I’m afraid that it will be difficult to interview him,” a researcher said with a bitter smile.
“In that case, please assist me with this interview. How many units of Life First will be released for sale, and how much will it be per unit?”
Pricing was always the most important issue.
How much would Life First cost?
Right then, Life First’s price was finally revealed.
“A bottle of Life First with a standard dosage will be priced between twenty million to fifty million yuan,” a researcher said. “As for the specific price, we will only know when it’s officially on sale.
What the hell?!
Twenty million to fifty million?
Many people were shocked when they heard the answer.
Regular people abroad were also eager to buy Life First to extend their lives.
Some wished to become younger, and others who were born with more mature looks wished to change their appearance using this potion. It would act as another kind of beauty tool.
However, after they heard the astronomical figure, they were completely disappointed!
There was no doubt that they could not afford it!
“Sigh, only the rich will be able to play around with Life First. Why weren’t we given any consideration?”
Many regular folk sighed.
How could they understand the reasoning behind this decision?
Imagine, if Life First were sold at a cheap price, many people would stock up and hoard a large number of potions like scalpers.
Therefore, most regular individuals would still not be able to afford the potion.
As such, they had made the correct decision.
It was better to set the price slightly higher so that those who could afford it could also meet the standard line of purchase!
Some time later, there was a Life First press conference, and Wu Mo finally showed up.
It would have been unreasonable for him to not even show up at the press conference.
Numerous well-known media outlets from all over the world were present.
All the reporters positioned themselves in front of the camera as lights flashed, and they asked Wu Mo questions about Life First.
The atmosphere was unusually heated.
The first reporter stood up with great interest and sincerely asked, “Mr. Wu, we’ve all heard that Life First will cost somewhere between twenty million to fifty million yuan. Can you tell us the exact price?”
After the press conference ended, the official sales channel for Life First would be opened. When that happened, people could finally purchase it online.
The media hoped to get information about the potion’s price and reveal it first so that people would be mentally prepared.
Those who were capable could take advantage of the time gap to do their best in raising funds. Otherwise, they could just go bankrupt from buying the potion.
In reality, even if they had to spend all their savings, many people were willing to buy this magical potion.
After all, it would add thirty years to their lifespan and give them a youthful look.
With such results, they would not have to worry about earning their money back in the future.
Money could be earned, but an opportunity like Life First could not be missed!
People also predicted that once it was officially on sale, the first batch of potions would be sold out in an instant.
Many people in the world could afford to buy the potion. For one, the number of buyers was far greater than the supply of Life First.
Facing the camera, Wu Mo calmly replied, “We’ll launch about five hundred bottles of Life First in our first batch. The initial price of each bottle is forty-eight million yuan!”
They would not release all of it at once. It needed to be released in batches, so they set the first batch at five hundred bottles.
All the reporters present could not help but gasp when they heard the price.
Everyone had initially guessed that the price would be around thirty million yuan. They did not expect it to be as high as forty-eight million yuan!
The reporter pondered for a moment and asked a more pointed question, “Mr. Wu, are you deliberately selling Life First at such a high price so that you can harvest the money of the rich?”
He could not help but feel a little uneasy after he posed the question.
However, Wu Mo was clearly unmoved. He calmly replied, “Many parties decided on the pricing of Life First after multiple discussions. I didn’t make the decision alone. If you have doubts about the price, perhaps you should ask whether any other country or institution can develop such a magical drug?”
As soon as he said this, the people went into an uproar. Everyone realized what a great response it was!
