Chapter 32
The Hot Weight Loss Pill, Everyone Is Grabbing It!

A few days later.

While the internet was abuzz with the news.

The Dragon Kingdom Drug Supervision Bureau approved the launch of a new drug, the Lightness Pill. The sales company was "Hanlong Pharmaceutical Company," its name clearly hinting at the company's impressive background.

This was indeed the case, as one of the shareholders behind this joint venture company was the New Han Jimin Company, while the other was a newly registered, unknown company.

If this were to happen a dozen years later, people would surely exclaim that a certain young master had started his own business.

The "Lightness Pill" quickly passed the Drug Supervision Bureau and was launched, attracting the attention of many.

Within three days, people were posting online.

Some said that they had seen the "Lightness Pill" sold at pharmacies in their area, while others said that they had seen it sold at hospitals.

However, this drug was not included in the medical insurance system.

It retailed at over 1,300 yuan per box, a price that made many people gasp in astonishment.

However, for those with high incomes, especially executives at large companies in major cities, and wealthy families, this was nothing.

Some people tried it with a sense of curiosity, thinking that if it sold for such a high price, it must have some merit.

If it worked, they'd continue buying it, but if it didn't, they'd consider the 1,300 yuan a loss.

After trying it, many people discovered that this weight-loss drug really did have an effect, that it really did reduce weight, and they started posting online, praising the drug.

"I was initially skeptical about this weight-loss drug called 'Lightness Pill,' but after actually using it, I realized that it really does work. Look, here's proof. In three days, I lost over two pounds, without dieting."

"Sister upstairs, does this weight-loss drug have any side effects?"

"No side effects have been found so far, but after taking it, I do go to the bathroom more often. I asked a friend of mine, and they said that this drug doesn't have any serious side effects. The reason why it makes people lose weight is that it enhances the body's metabolic rate, meaning digestion and excretion are faster, which results in the body not gaining weight and leading to weight loss."

"Wuwu, I really want to buy it, but I can't afford it. It costs 1,300 yuan per box, it's just too expensive."

"Yeah, if it were 100 or 200 yuan a box, I might bite the bullet and buy a box to try it out, but 1,300 yuan a box, who can afford that at that price?"

"Sigh, hopefully it can be included in medical insurance next year, so that we can get some reimbursement..."

"Yeah, if it could be included in medical insurance, I might be able to afford it."

"Don't worry, a doctor friend of mine said that there's a high chance this drug will be included in medical insurance. The reason is that this drug is extremely effective in lowering blood sugar and cholesterol, even more so than regular blood sugar and cholesterol-lowering drugs."

"That's great..."

As more and more people began to praise the effectiveness of this weight-loss drug.

Especially after some celebrities, such as overweight singers and actors, personally endorsed it, the effect was visible.

In just a week, 10 million boxes were sold in the Dragon Kingdom, generating revenue of 13 billion yuan. It's safe to say it was truly crazy.

Of course, most people bought many boxes, and there was even a phenomenon of scalpers.

Some actresses, who rely on their figures and looks for their careers, naturally bought many boxes, even dozens or hundreds of boxes, just to stockpile them in case they couldn't buy them later.

Such large-scale sales led to the local factory in New Han working overtime, and plans to further expand the factory were underway. After all, this was just the beginning, and once it was approved in the European and American regions, sales would increase even more.

...

New Han.

"Your Highness, this is the proposal submitted by the No. 1 Architectural Law Firm. According to their description, the entire island will be designed around the theme of tropical style.

An island road will be built around the island, and two yacht and ferry terminals will be built on the west and east sides of the island.

In the middle of the island, a resort villa area, a commercial shopping area, a hotel area, and entertainment facilities such as an amusement park and a zoo will be built..."

Before Lin Na could finish, Xiao Yunhai raised an eyebrow and said, "There's nothing special, it's just average. Next."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"The next one is designed by the No. 5 Architectural Law Firm. Its core theme is 'Sea Fortune Star,' focusing on vacation and leisure entertainment, highlighting the tropical island style. It includes an aquatic amusement city, a tropical aquarium, and other entertainment facilities. In addition, it also designs music and entertainment venues, suggesting that they regularly invite celebrities to hold concerts here..."

As Lin Na explained, Xiao Yunhai stared at the architectural renderings on the big screen. This architectural design was in line with what he had in mind, creating a tropical island, aquatic world themed resort island.

Just relying on swimming and snorkeling by the sea wouldn't keep customers, or they'd just come and go.

It had to have its own unique characteristics, that way, it would attract repeat customers.

So man-made entertainment facilities were a must.

"Take note of this."

Lin Na, who was in the middle of her explanation, was taken aback, then she realized what was happening and went back to her seat, quickly picking up her pen and paper.

"I'm planning to have a water park on the island, a big one. It has to be the most unique water park in the world. You can arrange for people to bid on it."

"Secondly, I want to build a large-scale ocean-themed park on the island. It has to be the largest ocean-themed park in the world. It needs to be big, with lots of fish. Don't worry about the cost, I want something unique."

"Thirdly, the same goes for the zoo. We need to build a large zoo on the island."

"Fourth, build Ghost Blows Out the Lamp South China Sea Return to the Ruins, Yunnan Worm Valley, two film-themed amusement parks. You can discuss this specifically with the Dream Chaser Film Company, letting them deeply restore the scenes based on the novels and create 3D scene maps."

...

Listening to Xiao Yunhai's suggestions, Lin Na said with a difficult look, "Your Highness, according to what you said, 1 billion US dollars in investment may not be enough."

"Don't worry about the money. 1 billion US dollars is just the base. It will be increased to 5-8 billion US dollars later."

Building a resort island wouldn't be possible with 1 billion US dollars, even if the government financed the construction of the airport and island road.

Just building an ocean-themed park would probably cost 10 to 20 billion US dollars.

Not to mention that Xiao Yunhai also wanted to create an underwater South China Sea Return to the Ruins scene for adventure projects.

In his expectations, at least 8 billion US dollars would be invested, and if there was a shortage later, he would sell land.

As long as the island's infrastructure was in place, and the entertainment value was high, the flow of people would increase, and companies wanting to invest in building real estate and hotels on the island would naturally emerge. At that time, land prices could be inflated.

Sell land and then use the money to complete the island's construction.

Xiao Yunhai, on the other hand, would earn popularity, and tourism would bring in service revenue, such as shop rent, entertainment venue income, hotel revenue, and so on.

In a nutshell, he would use an island to create a resort island city.

It didn't really matter if he made money or not, because even if he did make money, could it be more than he made from pharmaceuticals?

What he wanted was to boost people's incomes.

Once people's incomes increased and their living standards improved, they would be more supportive of the royal family, which is what he needed.
