Humans - the underworld - the vampires. This is the old chain of interests.
Blood clan - underground world - people. This is a new chain of interests.
It's nothing more than that we used to provide blood banks for vampires, but now we provide blood banks for humans.
The vampires have now become frightened birds and have completely become a group of rats crossing the street.
Because of the underground's influence, companies acquiring vampires even spontaneously developed a sales grading system to distinguish high-quality and low-quality products. However, before this system could truly be implemented, the official authorities preempted it and released an official vampire procurement grading system. In reality, the two versions were largely similar, differing only in details. For example, vampires who possessed dark powers and could use dark magic were naturally superior to those without dark powers and unable to cast spells.
This is true even if the latter is older than the former.
Anyway, there are now countless business plans related to the vampire factor. Every day, some companies make shocking statements about the vampire factor. As expected, Osborne Industries has been ahead of everyone else and launched a new health product that is said to contain the vampire factor. The price is extremely expensive, but the sales are very good. It can be said that the supply cannot meet the demand.
It is said that even Norman Osborn, who led all this, was shocked by the sales volume. While the marketing of the blood factor products was restricted by the limited raw materials and finished products, artificially creating production anxiety, he increased production efforts and donated another 200 million US dollars to Heberon's Brooklyn Charity Fund.
Other companies were encouraged by this and felt more confident. This period was a period of chaos.
Some pastry shops and restaurants even took advantage of the situation to launch cakes containing vampire bone meal, soups containing vampire blood factors, and aphrodisiac vampire XX. They also introduced snacks and health supplements containing vampire factors. This reminded Luke of the so-called Kaiju beast covered in treasures.
It seems that these days, any product with the "Vampire Factor" label will sell like hotcakes. Regardless, the ingredient list will likely list the presence of a "Vampire Factor." As for whether or not it actually contains a "Vampire Factor," the public simply doesn't know. If anyone questions it, some companies will even display a few vampires in their company to prove they actually have the raw material!
As for the fact that they've sold so many products while the raw materials themselves remain vibrant and seemingly healthy, that's another story. What exactly is the vampire factor? How is it extracted? Does extraction harm the raw materials? They have a whole set of deceptive explanations prepared by biology experts—duh, an explanation package.
As long as Heibo Lun, the true authority on the bloodline, didn't start a fight, they had nothing to fear! Besides, they weren't completely ignorant. They'd already followed Norman's example and donated a large sum of money to Heibo Lun's Brooklyn Charity Foundation. They called it a gesture of love, but in reality, it was just hush money and protection money. Heibo Lun spent the money however he pleased, and they didn't care.
So now, as long as you actually have vampires, you can add vampire factors to your products! This is a barrier to entry! So, those who have vampires treat them like treasures. How could they kill the goose that lays the golden eggs? Vampire factors? They don't even know what the heck a vampire factor is! They just know that using them makes their products sell!
However, when the market began to saturate rapidly, these businesses had to find new models and start involution.
For example, the year they started focusing on vampires, etc. Some capable people even contacted Norman Osborn, wanting him to take the lead and let Heberon and the government establish a vampire federation to register and evaluate the vampires they have, and issue certificates that can be checked online!
At that time, those with certificates, high-quality certificate grades and high years will undoubtedly be able to be sold at a higher price. However, those without sufficient years and low grades will naturally not be able to be sold at a high price!
Even more extreme, in addition to certificates, product quotas are allocated based on the number of vampires each company owns. Each vampire level has a quota for product sales based on the number of vampires. Within a certain vampire limit, you can only sell a certain number of products. If the product sales quota is exceeded, you will be warned and fined.
This sales method can also be explained by, for example, the amount of blood factors that can be extracted from each vampire is limited. If you exceed it, it is definitely a fraud, and subsequent products will definitely not contain blood factors.
After these combined efforts, the civilian market has essentially been divided and distributed. The chaotic landscape will gradually shift towards normality. By then, those seeking to capitalize on the vampire factor will face significant barriers to entry, including the number, age, and rank of the vampires involved. Who knows, this might even spawn other businesses: vampire cloning and artificial "breeding."
While the market for vampire factors hasn't yet reached true saturation and reached a point of involution, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will likely develop in much the same way as described above. For example, Norman Osborn has personally visited Heybollen several times recently, discussing his business plans with Luke and Ina. He even hints at his desire to collaborate with Heybollen, even with each visit. He doesn't need Heybollen to contribute money, only its tacit agreement to his plans.
Norman's business plan is a similar plan. Once he and Ina have thoroughly discussed the issue of interests, at least half of the various blood clan factor companies that are now booming like mushrooms after a rain will be killed or injured, and then half of them will be swallowed up after a while. In the end, only a few such as Osborne Industries will be able to survive and enjoy the greatest benefits of the blood clan factors.
Norman's only concern now was that even with his extensive connections, he still struggled to secure many high-ranking vampires. The Battle of Brooklyn had undoubtedly been a feast, but the high-ranking vampires were being divided up by the official military, S.H.I.E.L.D., and Hebron. By the time Norman regained consciousness and began to maneuver, the vampires had already been largely divided up.
First, Heibo Lun received the smallest quantity, but the highest quality! Since Luke was the only one with the technology, and currently the only one capable of producing finished longevity and self-healing potions, Heibo Lun naturally got to choose first. Then came S.H.I.E.L.D. and the various government laboratories, who also wanted to crack the secrets of the vampire factor and create their own longevity potion.
In this situation, all Norman could collect were the stocks held by some parliamentarians and generals.
However, after discussing the ups and downs with Nick and Stark, Luke finally let go of the matter. In his mind, the matter was over. The rest, whether it was the various official research projects or Norman Osborn's bloodline factor business empire, had little to do with him.
The only thing that still concerns him now is the Infinity Stones and the wizard.
