Chapter 978 Raising Funds From the World

The time is quietly another seven or eight days, and Dayang Group has entered the golden autumn of October. However, this golden autumn, no one can get excited.

The plague has been raging all over the world for more than half a month. Although the whole world has established isolation zones one after another under the call of Dayang Group, the effect is not satisfactory.

Cultivators are too mobile, plus germs flow with the air, there is no real safe zone in the whole world.

The wild monsters have begun to fall one piece after another.

The practitioners who have the disease have already accounted for 20% of the known practitioners, and it continues to spread; there are millions of serious illnesses, and these people choose to seal and wait for the opportunity. At this time, there seems to be no hope for everyone.

The whole world panicked. Society was also severely damaged. By this time, Dayang Group was also under too much pressure.

People may have been rational at the beginning, but as the plague spread and exploded, and a large number of people were critically ill and sealed, people gradually turned their grievances on Dayang Group.

Yes, no matter how nice your Dayang Group says, at least now the disaster broke out because of your Dayang Group's direct cause.

In short, Dayang Group really burst into tears for doing good deeds this time.

The negotiations between the Dayang Group and the Xuanhuang Group have basically come to a halt.

Under such circumstances, if everyone still caresses about negotiating and wrangling, then it is really cutting themselves off from the people.

The Xuanhuang Group wanted to take the opportunity to exert pressure, but the Dayang Group declined all negotiations because of disaster relief.

The only good news is that the plague has still not affected those in the foundation-building period and below.

So now it is a group of "masters" in the foundation-building period who maintain the operation of the society!

Oh, and there are Dharma-level ones. After actual observation, everyone found that as long as the practice is really popular and it is running continuously, the infection can basically be eliminated; but this is the privilege of a master of the Dharma level.

In particular, it needs to be pointed out that not everyone is qualified to practice real fire—most of those who follow the royal path cannot practice, which is a problem caused by the practice system.

Therefore, the current situation of Xuanhuang Group is not very optimistic. The Dayang Group is now under enormous pressure from public opinion, while the Xuanhuang Group is under enormous pressure to survive.

Under the huge crisis and pressure, Xuanhuang Group is also actively looking for solutions. But this time the plague was too extraordinary. Using the traditional and imperfect medical explanation of the practice world:

This is caused by the invasion of external evils, rather than the problem caused by heatstroke, cold, etc.; therefore, conventional treatment methods are almost useless. Even taking pills indiscriminately will aggravate the condition.

At present, the only thing that has a palliative effect on the disease is the practice of real fire.

In addition, there is half good news - the mermaids of the Dayang Group discovered a phenomenon, that is, marine life does not seem to be affected, including the mermaids themselves!

Marine life is almost unaffected, but most of the terrestrial freshwater monsters are affected.

After Dayang Group disclosed the news, the prices of marine medicinal materials rose accordingly, and a large number of marine monsters were hunted down—well, marine life was still affected.

However... no use! Everyone has no way to get what they need from marine life and medicinal materials. The elixirs that were refined indiscriminately caused many deaths.

Dayang Group specifically reported on this matter.

There are also people who try to practice in the sea, thinking that it is caused by the environment of the sea. But the result is obvious, or useless.

Therefore, the discovery that marine life is not affected can only be regarded as half good news. It can only be said that it has brought a little hope to the world, but nothing more.

The outside world is still chaotic, or panicked.

But Zu Qianyue was not easy either. At this time, Zu Qianyue was sitting in the embassy - it was only recently built here by Dayang Group; and the problem Zu Qianyue was facing at this time was a sum of funds: 240 million Lingyuan/top-grade Lingshi.

And this is not the first grant.

Speaking of which, at the beginning, the Xuanhuang Group wanted to procrastinate so hard that it would be fine. But they underestimated Dayang Group's means too much.

First of all, the Dayang Group allocated 3 billion Lingyuan very simply, and the Green Boat Bank jointly established a "plague fund" with the banks and financial systems of all parties in the strategic alliance.

The office address of the Plague Fund is right here at the headquarters of the Dayang Group, that is, in Ninghe City, where a floor of office building is temporarily rented.

The Plague Fund issued reward tasks in the fund office or the mercenary guild by issuing tasks, mainly for the plague.

For example, the mermaids discovered the characteristics of marine life. After approval, the Plague Fund finally gave the mermaids a reward of 1.8 million spirit yuan/top-grade spirit stones.

It's just a discovery, but it's the first discovery after all, and it's of great significance, so 1.8 million spirit yuan is not bad.

From the perspective of fairness and justice, the establishment of this fund is still of positive significance; but for the Xuanhuang Group, for Zu Qianyue, this so-called plague fund is like a bloody mouth, and it is facing the Xuanhuang Group.

In just a few days, the Dayang Group and the strategic alliance headed by the Dayang Group have continuously injected capital into the plague fund.

Each injection is not much, except for the initial large-scale injection, basically every two days will be injected once, and each family is about tens of millions; but when gathered together, it is not a small number. Almost every time the overall capital injection is around 200 million.

Dayang Group and the strategic alliance use this to hype and control public opinion.

At the beginning, Zu Qianyue was somewhat reluctant to take out 100 million yuan and inject it into the plague fund; but following the actions of Dayang Group, Zu Qianyue suddenly understood that this was not a fight for wealth, but an alternative war.

Therefore, the Xuanhuang Group has to express something, and it can't be too low.

But here comes the problem. This plague fund is completely a white glove of the strategic alliance itself. No matter how much money they inject, it is a matter of left-handed and right-handed. But when Xuanhuang Group injects capital into the fund, it is throwing out real money—money is not such a waste, not to mention that Xuanhuang Group is now stretched.

Next to him, Zuo Baihong looked at Zu Qianyue's hesitant and even trembling hands, and couldn't help but said, "Master, why don't we create a fund ourselves?"

Hearing this, Zu Qianyue smiled wryly, "It's easy to say. But we don't have experience in this field, let alone talents in this field.

And Dayang Group already has this fund, if we open up another one, what do you think others will think of us? Do you think Dayang Group will let go of this opportunity? "

Zuo Baihong opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word. Yes, if Xuanhuang Group sets up another fund, Dayang Group will never let go of this opportunity—under such circumstances, your Xuanhuang Group wants to split, what do you mean?

But Zuo Baihong was not reconciled to accepting the exploitation of Dayang Group. Of course, Zu Qianyue and the Xuanhuang Group were not reconciled either.

But no matter how unwilling he is, he can only grit his teeth right now.

However, the matter did not end there. Only three days later, less than 20 days after the outbreak of the plague, Dayang Group finally made an official announcement:

The laboratory has achieved decisive research results. Zhou Xueyao led a research team to extract multiple groups of active substances from marine life, which can specifically inhibit the fungus of this plague.

Yes, suppression, not extermination. But for cultivators, as long as they can suppress the reproduction of fungi, their strong physical fitness can heal themselves.

Zhou Xueyao's team extracted a variety of active ingredients from marine life, to be exact, amino acids possessed by several marine life.

Some of these amino acids are slightly toxic, but have significant effects; some are non-toxic, but have weak effects.

The sources of amino acids are also different, some come from seaweed, some come from jellyfish, some come from high-level dragon monsters, and some come from low-level and ordinary fish monsters.

Different amino acids need to be used for different cultivation bases, different constitutions, different practice methods, and even different illnesses.

The specifics are still being studied, but at least for now, it has been confirmed that these amino acids extracted from marine life have miraculous effects.

And after clinical trials, these carefully selected amino acids have very little side effects; at least for cultivators, even if they are used wrongly, it will only cause a bad stomach. Compared with the current plague, it can be completely ignored.

When the news spread, it immediately caused a storm.

Most people only see the surface, thinking that the plague has been solved by Dayang Group again.

However, people who are a little bit smarter—or maybe even smarter—began to speculate: the 'antidote' was produced in less than twenty days. Could it be that the Dayang Group deliberately made this plague? Needless to say, such a statement is very marketable, and there are some unscrupulous guys behind it to fuel the flames.

But the really smart people see it more profoundly: in the face of unexpected events and global disasters, Dayang Group's coping methods and efficiency are amazing.

From the red flying insects at the beginning to the plague now, Dayang Group's strong coping ability is... disturbing!

But there are smarter people, who saw the turmoil that will follow: Dayang Group has an 'antidote', so the relationship between Dayang Group and Xuanhuang Group may be shaken.

Previously, the Xuanhuang Group had promoted the slogan of "One World, Two Groups" either explicitly or implicitly, and had received wide support; especially those that were not against the Dayang Group and some neutral forces.

But now, the situation is afraid to change.

Now the majority of smart people are more concerned about: what is Dayang Group going to do next?

With the attention of the whole world, Dayang Group finally took action the next day: Dayang Group applied for financial support from the "Plague Fund" and planned to build a factory completely against the plague;

The factory adopts a joint-stock system and raises funds from all over the world. The amount of shares occupied by each party is calculated according to the capital injection of each party; and the shares will also be directly related to the distribution of the "antidote" in the later stage.

At present, Dayang Group is only a proposal for the time being. More specifically, it is natural to hold a 'World Congress'. When the news spread, there was an uproar.
