A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 723: No one is rich without windfall

Afterwards, Lu Cheng took the female python and searched the mountains and forests within a radius of dozens of miles. He was busy until dawn, but except for finding two lone male pythons, he did not find any trace of the blood orchid.

At this time, Lu Cheng's storage space had already contained the skulls, gallbladders, flesh, skins, etc. of 16 giant pythons, accumulating enough materials for scientific research experiments.

Therefore, Lu Cheng did not kill the remaining female python and two male pythons, but allowed them to continue to reproduce, hoping that he could harvest them again in the future.

In addition to these giant python materials, Lu Cheng has collected more than 400 blood orchids this time. He also specially collected a dozen cubic meters of soil where blood orchids grow to facilitate future planting and cultivation.

After these blood orchids enter the storage space, they remain in an absolutely static state, making them convenient to access at any time.

After finishing all this, Lu Cheng left the jungle and ran along the Toku River. Before noon, he caught up with the raft that Captain Bill and his crew were on.

When Bill saw Lu Cheng catching up with him, he quickly pulled the raft to the shore and let Lu Cheng get on board.

"My friend, you finally caught up. How is it? Did you harvest the blood orchid?"

"of course."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng took out two blood orchids from the backpack behind him and placed them in front of everyone.

Captain Bill took a look and said, "Isn't this just an ordinary orchid? It doesn't seem to be anything special."

Ms. Shan said, "Mr. Lu, can you show me this blood orchid?"

"no problem."

Shan had been Jack Byron's assistant before, and had assisted him in studying blood orchids. She had a deep understanding of blood orchids. She smelled the scent carefully, looked at the state of the flower, and nodded, "It's a very fresh blood orchid. If the damn Byron was still alive, he would definitely be willing to spend $10 to buy this flower.

However, Jack Byron and Gordon Mitchell are now staying in the jungle forever, and the Byron Mitchell Biotech they co-founded will eventually go bankrupt. And I will have to find a new job when I return."

Ge Er couldn't help but say, "Now, we, Weihe Venture Capital, are the major shareholder of Byron Mitch Company. We have the right to sell it in a package, but I don't know if anyone is willing to buy it."

Lu Cheng became interested after hearing this: "Ms. Shan, can you give me a detailed introduction to your company? Please focus on describing the relevant equipment configuration of the laboratory. Maybe I will be interested in acquiring it."

Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Lu Cheng: "Lu, are you still interested in biology?"

"Of course, I may not have told you. I come from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and have done extensive research in medicine and herbal medicine. This blood orchid is very special and may be able to become a new medicinal herb."

"Chinese traditional medicine? I heard that it's just a kind of witchcraft."

Captain Bill agreed, "I have seen Chinese traditional medicine, and it does have its merits. It has amazing acupuncture, and can also set bones."

Shan then said, "Okay, let me introduce our laboratory to you first. Our laboratory is located in New York and has the most advanced experimental equipment. These experimental equipment originally cost most of the investment of Weihe Venture Capital. However, our technical team is mainly led by Jack Byron.

Although that damn guy is a scumbag, he is indeed very professional in this area. In addition…"

After listening to Ms. Shan's introduction, Lu Cheng looked at Ge'er, the representative of Weihe Venture Capital: "Ms. Ge'er, in your opinion, if I want to acquire this biological company, how much money do I need to prepare?"

"In fact, our Why Venture Capital has invested three times, a total of 2500 million US dollars. According to my estimation, our company's top leaders will price the biological company at more than million US dollars. Of course, it may be difficult to sell at this price. After all, this biological company has not created any decent value yet, let alone invented many patents.

If I were a senior executive of the company, I would definitely sell it as soon as possible, even if the price was 1000 million lower. Rather than letting the company rot in my hands, it is better to recover the losses as soon as possible..."

After listening to this, Lu Cheng nodded and said, "I will go to New York later to inspect this company. If the price is right, maybe I will really acquire it."

Now that we have enough blood orchids and python materials, the next step is to invest our energy in scientific research and turn these things into the scientific research results we want and usable medicines.

It is still 2004, and the millennium has just passed. China's industrial base and scientific research facilities still have a certain gap compared with the United States.

If you want to have a most advanced laboratory, going to the United States is a better choice.

Moreover, the United States is a true capitalist society with a higher degree of freedom. In addition, this kind of scientific research needs to be carried out in the later stages, and certain human experiments are required.

Free America, gun battles every day.

In the beacon of freedom, there are many criminal gang members, hooligans, and some illegal immigrants and runners. When the time comes, we can catch some of the most heinous guys and conduct preliminary drug trials. After confirming that the drug is safe enough, we can directly lure them with benefits and let some people voluntarily accept clinical trials. It doesn't take much effort.

Therefore, Lu Cheng prepared to go to the United States to establish a biotechnology company, focusing on the research of blood orchids and giant pythons.

Of course, before going to the United States, Lu Cheng also has to prepare a new identity for himself.

The group drifted on the water for another day and night, until the evening of the next day, when they arrived at the city downstream and could finally have a good rest.

Over the past few days, everyone has been traveling through the dangerous tropical rainforest, and they have to be on guard against sudden attacks from giant pythons at any time, so they are all in a state of high tension. Now that they have arrived at the hotel, they have taken a shower and went to rest.

Lu Cheng also had a good rest for the night before going out the next day, wandering around the city, treating it as a tour.

At noon, Lu Cheng had a meal with Captain Bill and others, then took out $50,000 and handed it to Captain Bill: "Bill, this is the reward you deserve."

"No, Lu, we are friends, I can't take your money anymore."

"Because we are friends, I cannot let you suffer any loss. In order to take us to the jungle, your Bloody Mary was destroyed there, and I should compensate you."

"That junky boat isn't even worth $5. I'm asking for too much."

"But you worked hard to protect everyone's safety and clear the way for them. This alone is worth $5. You may not be able to receive Jack Byron's reward, so this $5 is all compensation."

"Well, you are a very generous fellow. Here's a toast to you."

After dinner, everyone exchanged contact information and then went their separate ways.

Lu Cheng also left Borneo and returned to the Golden Triangle. He wiped out two local warlords overnight and burned a large number of poppy fields.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng left Cape San Shan and went to Hong Kong.

Lu Cheng stayed in Hong Kong for three days, prepared a new identity for himself, applied for various certificates, and opened several new accounts in Swiss banks. Afterwards, Lu Cheng processed the accounts of the three warlords he had destroyed in Swiss banks, and used advanced technical means to transfer the funds in those accounts to several accounts he opened.

After this operation, Lu Cheng had more than 200 million US dollars in his account.

In addition to these, the various gold and jade seized from the three warlords are even more valuable.

The total amount of funds raised this time has exceeded 500 million US dollars.

It has to be said that these warlords who kill people, burn things, and get gold belts and do business in contraband are really rich, otherwise they couldn't afford to support an army.

In comparison, the fraud gang that was previously wiped out is nothing compared to this one.

With a new identity and sufficient funds, Lu Cheng boarded a plane and flew to America...
