The first heir novel (Master Yu Who Smokes) novel Chapter 115

They needed at least two billion in investments this time!

Henry could afford that much himself, but he could not possibly contribute so much at once. He would require approval and red tape from all parties.

That was why the medical developments in the country could not keep up with those from overseas.

Now that Mr. Clarke had agreed to invest that amount, though, that would speed up domestic research by at least five years!

Five whole years!

That would take so much blood, sweat, and tears from so many diligent medical personnel.

Henry Turner knew very well how much every medical researcher toiled away behind the scenes, doing what looked like mundane and meaningless experiments.

That was why he was so grateful.

It was not just him, either. His students in the room were extremely excited too.

They knew that their teacher had brought them here and treated this man to a meal for a reason.

They needed to find someone who was willing to donate two billion.

That was not a small sum by any means.

Who would ever want to invest in a medical project that could go five or even ten years without a tangible result?

Everyone was getting emotional, and they all cheered to Philip’s health.

It took a while before Henry finally calmed down. He ventured carefully, “Mr. Clarke, we need an astronomical amount of funding this time. Are you sure you’re willing to invest in us?”

It was not that Henry did not trust Philip. He was just being very cautious.

He did not want to see a ray of hope, only to have it dashed once more.

“How much money do you need?” Philip asked calmly.

Henry said with some difficulty, “Two billion. Also, we might not be able to give you a return on your investment within five to ten years.”

His heart was pounding.

It was only his initial celebration that he remembered just how enormous a sum two billion was.

The way Philip’s expression changed slightly when he heard that amount made Henry’s heart skip a beat too.

“I’ll give you four billion, but on one condition. Turner’s Hospital’s Riverdale branch must only have a contract with Beacon Pharmaceutical, and you must work with Wynn Johnston, an employee there.”

Philip suddenly said, completely composed.

At that moment, everyone in the room was stunned!

Only George Thomas stayed calmly drinking his tea without a word at the side.

Four billion really was not that much.

Back then, when the young master built a national statue of Confucious on Mount Fuji, he spent almost ten billion on it!

All so he could give them the finger!
