Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!-Chapter 698 - 414: Blood Gold and Whitening Liquid (6K)

The blood-buying campaign by the Jieke Group is overwhelming, spreading not just in the Beautiful Country but globally as well.

Out of the 197 countries in the world, those ranked below seventy in terms of monthly per capita income already have a monthly income of less than 500 US dollars.

As for the Jieke Group's external blood-selling quotations, considering the added costs like transportation, the recent price has risen, with the cost of one milliliter of fresh blood fluctuating between 1.2 and 1.3 US dollars.

A person selling 400 milliliters of fresh blood would make about 500 dollars, which exceeds the monthly income of people in many countries.

Not to mention those low-income countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, where many ordinary people struggle to even fill their stomachs.

And now by just selling blood, they can earn nearly five hundred dollars, which is an astonishing thing.

Of course, through layer upon layer of exploitation, most blood donors do not get this price, with some getting less than half.

Even so, many poor people still flock to it.

In countries where the annual income is only a few hundred US dollars, like Liberia, nearly ninety percent of the population is on the brink of poverty, with a per capita GDP of only a few hundred dollars, and most citizens living on less than 1.5 dollars a day.

Donating blood once allows them to earn half a year's income.

Therefore, when this news reached the local area, the scene was incredibly shocking.

There were crowds of poor people applying to donate blood, like zombies released from their cages.

In this world, there are too many poor people. For a few hundred dollars of blood money, there is no need for any coercion; poor people rush to sign up to donate blood for fear that if they are late, they will miss out on the chance.

The enthusiastic behavior of people from impoverished areas towards donating blood also signifies extremely rich profits.

In the past, there was no way to extract profits from the poor, but now by merely selling blood, there are immense profits to be gained.

As a result, this industry, artificial created by Jieke Group, is also referred to as the Blood Gold industry, signifying the wealth contained in the blood.

Jieke Group has invested trillions of dollars into this, so the quantity of the collected fresh blood is naturally terrifyingly large.

A lot of fresh blood is transported from all over the world to the Jieke Group located in Southeast Asia; some of these blood come from African black people, some from Latin America, and some from Europe and America.

Capital will enter any profitable industry, let alone a massive industry worth trillions of dollars annually.

With such a huge flow of funds, related upstream and downstream organizations were born accordingly, including blood trafficking intermediaries, transport vehicles, smuggling channels, blood black markets, and so on.

In places where the influence and power of Jieke Group cannot reach, there is capital to help Jieke Group complete the acquisition and transportation of blood.

Blood development companies are established one after another, and even multinational blood companies are developing rapidly. Some countries even have their governments participate in organizing this blood trade themselves, saving these blood companies from constantly bribing their officials and engaging in corruption; they make money directly.

This industry has made Jieke Group the source of all evil.

Endless amounts of money are thrown, in exchange for a massive quantity of fresh blood.

This is still limited by Jieke Group's financial capability, and they cannot buy more. After all, there are nearly a billion hungry people globally. Otherwise, the quantity of fresh blood collected would be even higher.

"In a country situated on a sea of blood, what on earth is the Jieke Group's true intention?"

"Is it enslavement or charity? Please tell us your thoughts."

"Beware of Jieke Group creating genetic viruses using blood. Selling blood now means selling our future lives."

Such large-scale blood acquisition by Jieke Group cannot possibly escape the outside world's attention. Moreover, Jieke Group has made no attempt to hide it, publicly announcing it on their official website.

This approach has sparked debates among various media, with public opinions being extremely polarized.

Online, most condemnations of Jieke Group are harsh.

The idea of selling blood itself sounds inhumane and unrelated to justice; they can also find a lot of evidence of crimes.

As it involves blood, it is inevitably linked to coercion, evil, bloodshed, bribery, and danger. Calling it a violent and corrupt grey industry is not wrong at all.

But in the eyes of those poor countries and people, Jieke Group is undoubtedly a living Buddha showing great compassion and great mercy!

Their blood-buying policy has significantly improved their lives; many have used the blood money to build houses, send their children to school, and treat their elderly relatives.

Regardless of others' criticism or praise, Jieke Group continues to act as it pleases.

The truth is unimportant; in a world of power and capital, everything is just business.

The Black Palace of the Beautiful Country!

CIA Director Judith, NASA Director Burton, and the Beautiful Country President Lawrence Fernando are having a meeting.

"...The situation is as such, the blood-selling phenomenon continues to intensify. Numerous capital interests have been drawn into this Blood Gold industry, making it a highly lucrative market in the eyes of investors. Semi-public blood transactions are everywhere on the streets, giving rise to a vast number of related black industries."

Judith explained the situation he had grasped, with the recent frantic blood-buying behavior of Jieke Group leaving him, the Director, puzzled.

"Is Jieke Group buying blood only in our country, or is it happening in other countries as well?"

"Many countries are involved. The poorer the country, the more prevalent this blood-selling behavior is."
