America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

Chapter 133 Adam ran away with two hundred million.

Other Pinkerton detectives, who had been out of work and earning no money recently, heard that these Pinkerton detectives were making money and came to ask Adam if he could help sell longevity factors.

Adam accepted all who came.

"I have handed over the sales of longevity factors in the United States to the 800 detectives I previously worked with."

"It wouldn't be appropriate to hand it over to you now, so if you're willing, I can allow you to take the longevity factor to other countries to sell."

"But to be honest, taking longevity factors to other countries is too risky for me, so you have to pay half of the deposit first."

"In other words, you can buy the goods from me at $100 a bottle first, and then pay me the rest of the money after you sell them."

"Since you are selling overseas, it does take a lot of money, so I won't let you lose out. Just give me another $60 after you sell it."

"I'll give you a $40 commission for every bottle you buy."

"I'll take your $100 first to ensure I don't lose money, since my costs are $100 each."

"Of the remaining 60, 40 is my profit, and 20 is yours. That should be enough for you, right?"

How could it not be possible?

Yes, absolutely!

Pinkerton and the others readily agreed.

They've been detectives for so long, they must have some money on them.

If we ask them to buy too much, they might not be able to buy it all, but they can still get a dozen or so bottles.

Dozens of people acted together, each carrying twenty or thirty bottles, totaling one or two thousand bottles, and then headed towards neighboring countries.

Some even sailed towards Europe.

From June 1st to July 1st, over a period of one month, according to reports from several American newspapers, the Longevity House store saw its sales exceed $20 million due to the sale of longevity factors.

Moreover, this is only one month. According to various predictions, Changshouzhijia's monthly turnover will exceed 2000 million yuan in the future, and may even reach 3000 million yuan in some cases.

That adds up to two or three hundred million a year.

When this conclusion was put forward, it shocked many people.

Within a short period of time, multiple groups of people stormed Adam's research institute.

Adam could only continue to hire Pinkerton detectives to protect the research institute, and hire more people to protect himself and the shop.

In this situation, Pinkerton found Adam.

"Mr. Adam, you should have noticed the current situation. Many people are eyeing your longevity factor."

"After all, things that can extend people's lifespan are just too popular."

"During this period, there have been no fewer than 20 attacks on the research institute, no fewer than 30 attacks on you personally, and dozens of spying and actions against your shop."

"Even our Pinkerton detectives' sales outlets in other cities have been significantly impacted, and several detectives have lost their lives as a result."

"To be honest, we'd like to earn this money, but if the risk is too high, the compensation you're offering isn't enough."

Adam sighed.

"I had anticipated this situation, so I deposited every penny I earned into the bank as soon as possible, just in case my family gets robbed one day."

"I've also thought of what you mentioned."

"If this continues, I estimate I won't be able to keep the research institute, and I'll lose the shop and the longevity factor as well."

"But I have no choice now. How about this, Mr. Pinkerton, if you are willing to help, I am willing to share 10% of the profits with you, but I hope that Pinkerton Detective Agency can guarantee the safety of my products and my life."

However, Pinkerton shook his head and said...

"Mr. Adam, I think the best approach now is to sell the longevity factor in large quantities as quickly as possible."

"We will do our best to block attacks from the outside."

"When we can no longer bear it, you may be able to auction off the longevity factor publicly."

"Hand it over to other major powers for sale across the country and even around the world."

"If this still doesn't quell their greed, then we'll have no choice but to sell your formula completely."

""

"But before that, you should be able to make a fortune."

"If you agree to my plan, let's work together. You'll make a fortune, and I'll get a share too. What do you think?"

After thinking for a moment, Adam gritted his teeth and said.

"Okay, we'll do it your way."

"Tell me how much you want, and I'll tell you. My longevity factor costs close to $100, though not quite, but with other expenses, it'll be close to the final price."

"If you want too much, I might as well just sell the formula."

Pinkerton naturally didn't want the other party to sell the formula, because if they did, he couldn't afford to buy it back, and he wouldn't make any money.

So in the end, a price of 40% was offered.

Adam absolutely disagreed and was only willing to give 20%.

Finally, the two discussed the matter for more than two hours and agreed on a 3.3% split, or one-third of the profits.

After the two signed the contract, the entire Pinkerton detective team was mobilized.

The thousands of Pinkerton detectives no longer operate together. Instead, a few Pinkerton detectives hire a group of people to travel to cities across the country and even neighboring and European countries to conduct sales.

When the results were tallied on August 1st, it was discovered that the total sales of longevity factors sold in that month had exceeded 50 million.

At this point, even Detective Pinkerton was getting a little overwhelmed, so after Pinkerton consulted with Adam, a meeting of longevity factor agents began.

Agents in various American states sold $500 million worth of goods.

Agents in other countries sold another 500 million.

After the second-tier agency was completed, these agents took in another 2000 million yuan worth of goods.

At this point, Adam had already received one hundred million.

Of course, some of it will be taken out, but it's still more than 80 million.

The Pinkerton Detective Agency received approximately $2000 million as a result.

It's safe to say that the Pinkerton Detectives made a killing from this.

After establishing a global distribution network, shipments increased significantly, reaching 70 million units by September 1st.

Finally, someone couldn't sit still any longer and wanted to buy the formula for the longevity factor.

Over the past few months, Pinkerton has lost dozens of lives protecting its research institute and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities.

This time, they were subjected to heavy firepower, resulting in over a hundred deaths and injuries.

Pinkerton couldn't hold on any longer, and naturally, Adam couldn't hold on any longer either.

After losing dozens more people, Adam agreed to sell the formula through a public auction.

And they handed over the entire auction to the Pinkerton Detective Agency.

Adam himself had already withdrawn the money from the bank and, aboard the fleet of his clone Qian Changshun, set sail for the Far East.
