That's right, it's just a piece of paper.
And it was a scrap paper that I don't even know which lab report I just tore off!
However, Xia Ye glanced at it and asked with some surprise:
"You've analyzed the ingredients of the Youth Preservation Pill?"
"what?"
Even with a logbook where one can make all sorts of wishes, the word "preserving youth" still has a huge impact on women, and all the beauties in the courtyard gathered around.
"It's been analyzed!"
Shiho looked around calmly and said:
"Although I don't know the specific ingredients, I've tested out their individual medicinal properties—"
"However, real-world medications generally don't achieve that effect; this formula is a simplified version that I've summarized."
"A simplified version~"
The onlookers quickly lost interest.
If the original Youth-Preserving Pill was good, at least it would save them time from making wishes and doing quests. But the simplified version isn't very appealing.
How brief?
Unlike them, Tomoko Suzuki immediately realized the commercial potential of this product.
These journal holders don't need such defective products, but there are plenty of ordinary women in this world.
The pursuit of eternal youth means that women are never stingy when it comes to spending money on cosmetics and health products, regardless of their age!
Shiho is so smart, of course she understands what Tomoko means.
She had thought of this when the formula came out, but she wasn't interested in money. Anyway, someone was already supporting her, so she could just ask Xia Ye for the money!
"Although it's a simplified version, the original is so powerful that, to put it simply, the experimental solution completely surpasses all skincare cosmetics and so-called beauty and health products on the market. If this were sold, brands like Lancôme and L'Oréal would be on the verge of bankruptcy!"
"so smart?"
Even Tomoko, who took the original version of the Youth Preservation Pill, is still using cosmetics, let alone others.
What Shiho said piqued their interest again!
"Hmm~"
Shiho nodded.
The Youth Preservation Pill was already practically a magic pill!
Although it has only one function, it is absolutely a woman's dream love potion, the kind that could start a war if word got out!
It's not surprising that the simplified version has the same effects as it does now.
"Xia Ye?"
Tomoko Suzuki looked at Natsume.
Although everyone knew that the prescription would be most valuable in her hands, she still chose to consult Xia Ye first.
This is the only way to highlight Xia Ye's image as the head of the family. After all, even the "half-queen of Japan" has submitted to Xia Ye, so the other women naturally have no objections.
"Should we leave it to Tomoko, Shiho?"
Xia Ye then left the decision to Shiho, since it was, after all, a birthday gift from Shiho to him!
"Hmm, I have no objection."
Although this was a birthday gift for Natsume, Shiho and Natsume no longer needed gifts to deepen their relationship. She only gave Natsume the prescription because she wanted Natsume to earn more pocket money...
"it is good!"
Tomoko Suzuki took the prescription and said with a smile:
"Leave everything else to me!"
"I will establish a new company specializing in the production of various products based on the Youth-Preserving Pill. As for the shares—"
"I'll take 10%, Natsume 40%, Shiho 40%, and the remaining 10% will be divided equally among the others present!"
"Ouch!!!" Wan.
Chapter 396 Yoko Okino's Life-Size Doll!
With Tomoko Suzuki personally handling the operation.
In addition, there was a prescription that Shiho had developed from the Youth-Preserving Pill.
The newly established company will definitely thrive and sweeping the cosmetics industry will be no problem at all!
At that time, the company's market value will be no less than L'Oréal's, which means at least 30 billion US dollars!
It's perfectly fine for Xia Ye and Shiho to get 80% of the shares, since Xia Ye provided the Youth Preservation Pill, and Shiho developed the formula.
As for Tomoko, actually, 10% is a bit too little for her.
After all, she was responsible for setting up the company, production, and sales, so it would be reasonable for her to take at least 30%!
However, Tomoko didn't care about any of that.
Money has lost its meaning for her.
As for the last ten percent...
No one present expected that they would be split equally.
Especially Miwako, Yumi, Makoto, and Kazuha.
Unlike Ran and Yukiko, who were very close to Natsume, the way Tomoko was assigned to someone was a bit unexpected, and they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise!
According to the previous calculation, 10% of the shares are worth 3 billion US dollars. If divided among 10 people, each person would receive 300 million US dollars!
Such a large sum of money would shock anyone!
"this..."
Miwako raised her hand, her eyes hesitant, and said:
"Tomoko-san?"
"Isn't this a bit—"
"Not suitable?"
"Yes!"
Kazuha said seriously, "Although I don't know how much those shares are worth, they must be worth a lot of money. I can't accept them!"
Both of the girls who had already had that kind of relationship with Xia Ye said so.
Honesty and Yumi, who hadn't yet taken things to the final step with Natsume, were even more uneasy and both refused.
Yoko Okino, who was in the same situation, didn't react much.
In her mind, she already felt like Xia Ye was keeping her.
Three hundred million US dollars is a lot, but compared to something as magical as the log, it's just a small amount of money. So, I'll just accept it.
Anyway, she had no intention of leaving Xia Ye, and this "250" was already stuck with him for life!
"Okay~"
Pengzi waved her hand and smiled gently:
"Don't rush to refuse, listen to me, it's decided this way. Anyway, the shares can't be easily bought and sold, you'll just enjoy the dividends—"
"Consider it pocket money!"
"Cough cough~"
Seeing everyone looking at her, Xia Ye's expression turned serious: "Let's listen to Pengzi. With our relationship, we don't need to worry too much about this kind of thing."
"Good~"
Now that Xia Ye had spoken, the girls, who had initially been somewhat apprehensive, stopped insisting. Although they were still a little dazed, they were able to accept it.
Seeing that the atmosphere was still somewhat tense, Xia Ye's eyes lit up, and a mischievous smile appeared on his face:
"Speaking of which-"
"Doesn't this sound like I'm keeping you all as mistresses?"
"cut!"
The girls spat in disapproval upon hearing this.
Although the truth is similar.
But don't say it so bluntly!
Pengzi gave Xia Ye a charmingly disdainful look and said with a light reproach, "Are you sure you want to keep me as a sugar daddy?"
"Well...I can't afford to support her!" Xia Ye shrugged. "I'll just live off her!"
"Cuckoo~"
The beauties in the courtyard giggled. Although Xia Ye was a transmigrator with a system, when it came to keeping Tomoko as a mistress—
Hmph, not for at least ten years!
After the interlude.
The women stopped chatting.
Instead, they gathered together to see what the next gift would be.
After all, everyone had tacitly chosen to keep it a secret when they came today, and no one knew what birthday gift others had prepared for Xia Ye.
At this moment.
Everyone's attention was focused on Ran and Sonoko.
In this special "home", Xiaolan and Yuanzi are the two youngest and are deeply loved by everyone. Xia Ye, needless to say, dotes on them a lot!
and so--
Everyone was curious about the gifts the two of them received.
"Xiaolan~"
Sonoko nudged Ran, signaling her to go first.
Sonoko knew what Ran's real gift was, so she had no expectations for the one she was preparing to give her now.
As for her own gift, hehe, that's the grand finale!
"Hmm~"
Xiaolan glanced at her mother subconsciously, then took a bracelet from her pocket and handed it to Xia Ye, her eyes lowered as she whispered:
"This is what I picked out for you yesterday when I went to Flower Street~"
"Antique collectibles?"
Xia Ye took the bracelet, somewhat surprised.
The bracelet is probably carved from a precious jade such as Tianhuang stone. It has an orange-red color and a warm, smooth feel, and looks very valuable.
Ran herself didn't have that much money; she probably asked Eri for it, but—
Why would Xiaolan send something like this?
Besides Tomoko and her two daughters, and Yukiko, other girls who were unaware of the truth also had the same questions.
As for Xiaolan, Xia Ye would like anything she gave her, but well, this Tianhuang stone bracelet seems...
It doesn't show your sincerity!
However, no one said anything.
Xia Ye did not reveal her doubts.
He played with the bracelet for a moment, then put it on his wrist. His gaze softened as he looked into Xiaolan's bright, light blue eyes, and he smiled as he said:
"I really like it, and also—"
