Hearing Chen Yinxu's exclamation, Mu Jinyu couldn't help but be astonished and said, "You know about cultivators too?"
Having said that, he nodded and added, "That's right. For the Beauty Pill created from this prescription to have the stunning effects you experienced when you first took it, it indeed requires spiritual energy."
Chen Yinxu instantly showed a troubled expression and said, "So that's how it is, no wonder. But aren't items containing spiritual energy very precious? Then the cost of these Beauty Pills is too high. Although the effects are astonishing, I'm afraid it's difficult to turn around the company's current predicament!"
In Chen Yinxu's view, to obtain spiritual energy one would need top-grade jade or thousand-year great medicine, but using these for producing Beauty Pills would be too costly. One pill would need to be sold for at least ten million. Perhaps the wives of prominent officials could afford such a steep price, but how could ordinary people afford it?
Therefore, since it can't be mass-produced, the company's current predicament cannot be alleviated this way.
"It's very expensive?"
Wen Rou and Xu Qingya, hearing Chen Yinxu's words, exchanged glances and said in surprise, "Not really. We saw Director Mu making the medicine, and he didn't use anything particularly expensive!"
"That's because you don't understand." Chen Yinxu waved his hand, disinclined to explain.
Mu Jinyu, however, said, "They are right. I collect spiritual energy for the medicine without needing any high costs; just follow the prescription, and set up an assembly line production equipment, and it can achieve such effects."
"This…" On hearing this, Chen Yinxu was very puzzled and asked, "Without using thousand-year great medicine and top-grade jade, can you really gather spiritual energy and imbue it into the Beauty Pills?"
"You can, and you will know when the time comes." Mu Jinyu did not elaborate further.
Of course, he couldn't possibly stay by each batch of Beauty Pills to draw in the spiritual energy from the air and add it to the production of Beauty Pills; he didn't have that kind of leisure.
But, he could use some jade of neither particularly high nor particularly low quality, and set up a Spirit Gathering Array in the pharmaceutical plant. Naturally, this would add spiritual energy to the medicinal herbs during the production process of the Beauty Pills.
Of course, Beauty Pills produced this way naturally wouldn't compare to those he made personally, but by taking a few more pills, one could still catch up with the effects.
And explaining these principles was too bothersome, so Mu Jinyu didn't bother to elaborate to Chen Yinxu.
Seeing that Mu Jinyu was reluctant to say more, Chen Yinxu naturally did not feel it was right to ask further.
When they had finished talking, Xu Qingya then asked, "So Old Chen, does this beauty prescription need any modifications or further testing for any side effects, like developing acne or experiencing discomfort…?"
Before she could finish, Chen Yinxu gestured with his hand and said, "No, this beauty prescription, aside from needing spiritual energy, is quite perfect. I have studied the prescription, and it won't cause any side effects…"
"I see…" Upon hearing this, Xu Qingya immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Jinyu said, "I've already told you, there's no need to keep retesting it; you can start preparing for production directly, but you still wouldn't listen."
As he spoke, he paused, then Mu Jinyu added, "Well, now that Old Chen has also said it's fine, you can go ahead and purchase the medicinal herbs listed on the prescription, and also buy a thousand kilograms of jade. The quality doesn't have to be very good, but it must be genuine jade…"
"Oh, okay…" Xu Qingya and Wen Rou listened to Mu Jinyu's instructions, nodding repeatedly and noting down the various tasks to be handled.
Afterward, they left the R&D department to find the purchasing department to have them aggressively acquire the various medicinal herbs listed on the prescription.
Because Mu Jinyu had said, even if someone knew the specific composition of the Beauty Pills, there was no fear as without the spiritual energy, they would just be ordinary beauty medicine.
So this time, they did not add any superfluous or useless herbs to the list of ingredients they were buying.
Meanwhile, Wen Rou also went to find someone to buy a thousand kilograms of jade.
The price wasn't cheap, and given their company's current financial condition, it was probably a bit too much to handle.
When Mu Jinyu learned about this situation from Wen Rou, he hesitated and then still painfully decided to take out a portion of the tens of millions he had made in River City.
After handing the money to Wen Rou, Mu Jinyu saw that the company didn't temporarily need his attention, so he told Wen Rou to inform him once she had purchased a thousand kilograms of jade and then prepared to head home.
As he approached the entrance to the public relations department, Mu Jinyu suddenly thought of Lin Qiaoxia and, after a moment of contemplation, he walked in.
"Director, Director…"
As soon as Mu Jinyu entered the public relations department, the charming ladies inside, unlike yesterday and this morning's coldness and disdain, all stood up nervously and greeted him in a fluster.
"Mmm, continue with your work. I'm looking for Sister Qiaoxia."
Mu Jinyu remained expressionless, nodded slightly to them, said this briefly, and then walked toward Lin Qiaoxia, who was sitting in a corner.
As the crowd realized that Mu Jinyu was indeed there to see Lin Qiaoxia, they felt both jealous and envious, wishing they could replace her.
At the same time, they also regretted not having made a good connection with Mu Jinyu the day before.
Otherwise, by now, with Mu Jinyu revealing his true identity, they might have skyrocketed to success.
Lin Qiaoxia was sitting in the corner, staring at the documents on her desk, still somewhat dazed.
She was stunned by the transformation in Mu Jinyu's status.
She also worried that since Mu Jinyu was the company's major boss, he must be very busy. She had promised to invite him to dinner after getting her salary next month; now, it seemed unlikely he would have time to bother with someone as insignificant as herself.
Yet, she disliked owing others, which made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"What are you thinking about?"
At that moment, Mu Jinyu came over, saw Lin Qiaoxia in a distracted state, and asked.
"Ah?"
Lin Qiaoxia, startled by someone talking to her, thought she had been caught slacking off by a leader.
"I… I was…"
Lin Qiaoxia hurriedly tried to explain as she turned around.
When she saw that it was Mu Jinyu, for some reason, she felt a sense of relief and then slightly embarrassedly smiled, "I was just thinking about some things…"
Mu Jinyu didn't ask her what she was thinking about, but cut straight to the point, saying, "I think you are a good person, dedicated and down-to-earth in your work. I am planning to have you assist the three presidents, and later, when the company opens branches in other cities, I will have you go there as the general manager. What do you think?"
The ears of the entire public relations department had been perked up surreptitiously, and upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, they instinctively gasped, filled with regret and resentment!
Damn, this was truly a rocket to the skies!
Lin Qiaoxia was only an intern, what merits did she possess that made the big boss hold her in such high regard?!
They thought, it must be because Lin Qiaoxia was the only one willing to engage with Mu Jinyu the day before.
Otherwise, with her status, how could it have been possible to receive such a fortuitous opportunity.
