Chapter 473 Xu Zhiyun's life has been confused ever since
Long Aotian said: "Little brother Ritian, you and I have some minor frictions, but..."
"You call instantly killing me over a hundred times minor friction!?" Zhao Ritian's eyes widened: "Or is me beating you until you sprayed shit all over the room minor friction? Speak clearly!"
Long Aotian looked at him, suppressing his anger: "I instantly killed you over a hundred times, yes! You beat me very embarrassingly, correct! Isn't it even now?!"
Zhao Ritian mumbled: "You think it's evened out, I think I suffered a loss."
Long Aotian said: "Okay, you go find Lu Chengwen. How did he become your Dage? Hmm? Tell me the whole process."
Zhao Ritian said: "Dage treated me to dinner, lobster, abalone, sea cucumber! Also gave me money, a full two million! And that car, my sister-in-law Jiang Shihan gave it to me! And also..."
"Enough, enough, enough!" Long Aotian said: "You've been tricked by him!"
"Impossible, he already gave them to me!"
"He did give them to you, but, these little things, to Lu Chengwen, that's just for shooing away beggars!"
Long Aotian said: "Two million? Lu Chengwen's watch alone is worth more than two million! He has so many tens-of-millions-worth cars in his garage he can't even drive them all. When he used to play with cars, buying and modifying, one car costing a hundred million was very normal!"
"Two million? Lu Chengwen casually attends a charity dinner, bids on a celebrity's worn jacket for over four million!"
"And the car, a Mercedes-Benz made you so elated?"
Zhao Ritian said seriously: "It's a Mercedes-Benz Da Ji (Big G)."
"What G or not G, isn't it just a car!" Long Aotian clapped his hands: "He gave Zhao Gang a Porsche 918! Counting the modification money, it's twice as expensive as yours! That Zhao Gang is just a lackey running around him!"
"And that Jiang Shihan, what sister-in-law is she? She's just one of Lu Chengwen's bed-warming human toys. Not to mention working to death making money for him, he casually pulls her over and bullies her. Lu Chengwen's girlfriends are Xu Xuejiao, Leng Qingqiu!"
Zhao Ritian covered his mouth: "Some things, you still don't know."
"What!?"
"Not telling you."
"Anyway!" Long Aotian said: "You've been tricked by him."
Zhao Ritian said: "If he tricks me, he has to trick something out of me, right? He gave me money, gave me a car, gave me good things, even let his girlfriend accompany me for dinner. What about you? What did you give me? If you have the ability, you trick me too!"
Long Aotian thought, Heavens, you are definitely number two (an idiot)!
Long Aotian took out a card: "This card has one hundred million in it."
"One hundred million!?"
"Right!" Long Aotian said: "To show sincerity, how about it? You casually find a bank, talk to the manager, if the annual interest isn't four million, you turn around and leave. Am I more sincere than Lu Chengwen or not?"
Zhao Ritian took the card: "Here... really one hundred million?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
"I beat you until you sprayed shit, and you still give me a hundred million, you... are you crazy?"
Long Aotian suppressed his anger: "I treat you as a brother!"
"You also treat me as a brother?! Then why didn't you treat me as a brother before? And repeatedly instantly killed me?"
"Weren't we unfamiliar back then!"
"I'm not familiar with you now either!"
"Do you want this money or not? If not, give it back!"
"Don't don't don't, I want it. With it, I can spend money like dirt, date Xu Xuejiao."
Long Aotian wanted to be angry, yet wanted to laugh.
A natural born idiot!
Lu Chengwen tricking him really is... just spending some money to shoo away beggars can fool him into a daze.
With this kind of character, still wants to pick up Xu Xuejiao... If you can pick up Xu Xuejiao, I'll cut off my brain and let you kick it like a ball.
"Go, your marriage contracts are a hundred percent with Lu Chengwen. He's just bullying your honesty, bullying your trusting nature. If I had the marriage contracts, wouldn't I have taken them out to find Xu Ziyun long ago? You can also see, Xu Ziyun and I have a good relationship. With these marriage contracts, why wouldn't I marry Xu Xuejiao home after so long, still waiting for you to come find me?"
Zhao Ritian held the card, thought for a moment, slapped his thigh: "Lu Chengwen tricked me!"
"He just tricked you!"
"Then what should I do!?"
"Go find him! You can't let him treat you like a fool!"
"Right!"
Zhao Ritian stood up: "I'll go find him right now! If he doesn't return my marriage contracts, I'll beat him to death!"
Long Aotian smiled: "That's right."
Zhao Ritian looked at Long Aotian: "You're really damn malicious."
"Hmm!?"
"Your Shidi kept telling me not to harm you, to talk things out properly if there's an issue. You wish I would beat your Shidi to death!"
Long Aotian really was...
How he wished he could just punch this idiot's head and smash a big hole in it!
But... this grandson was unfortunately very strong.
Trick him, pass the ball to Lu Chengwen. Best if he and Lu Chengwen fight like two tigers, beat each other bloody, then I can reap the benefits!
Long Aotian suppressed his anger and his deep disdain for Zhao Ritian, feigning gentleness:
"Little brother, Lu Chengwen deliberately said such things. He knew you were a good person, so used such words to make you admire him. Actually, he's an unscrupulous merchant, different from us. His head is full of interests, all sorts of conspiracies and calculations. The bad things he's done are too numerous to count. If you believe him, then I really have nothing more to say."
Zhao Ritian nodded: "I'll go find him right now!"
"Good good good, go quickly, or he'll get off work."
...
Xu Ziyun was sick.
Long Aotian, he couldn't afford to provoke; he was the kind of character who could kill when he flipped.
Zhao Ritian, he couldn't afford to provoke even more; he was an idiot who might flip at any unpredictable word, and when he flipped, he was even more lawless, you wouldn't know what he'd do.
Lu Chengwen, he couldn't afford to provoke even, even more.
Xu Xuejiao as CEO, in a few months, Houde Group's liquid funds continuously flowed into the Chengwen District project.
It could be said, Houde Group was the largest shareholder in Chengwen District besides Lu Chengwen.
The pharmaceutical industry makes money fast, profits are high.
But different from general industries, the investment is actually also very large.
The terrifying salaries of high-paying R&D teams, updates of various high-precision lab equipment, import and consumption of various high-tech raw materials...
The pharmaceutical industry is, drugs aren't valuable, can even be said to be very cheap, frighteningly cheap.
Many injections sold for tens, hundreds of thousands, if you really calculate the cost, it's actually just one or two hundred yuan.
But, this is all based on, your R&D team having succeeded after years of large-scale investment, passed clinical trials, official testing, production line customization, sales channel expansion... etc., etc., numerous money-burning stages.
Especially some cutting-edge drugs, the money previously thrown in was hundreds of millions, tens of billions, even hundreds of billions in investment.
These investments definitely need to be earned back.
And this is still based on the premise that one team, one project, is guaranteed to succeed.
If you simultaneously have seven teams throwing money, investing, and only one succeeds, while the other six continue to burn money, does this successful drug need to recoup its costs?
But Xu Xuejiao had gone crazy.
She just set her sights on the Chengwen District project, just kept investing in it.
What good thing did Lu Chengwen feed her? Worth her risking Houde Group's entire fortune to gamble with him!?
Shouldn't have gotten hot-headed back then and let her be CEO.
Now great, dismissing Xu Xuejiao requires overly cumbersome procedures, and Lu Chengwen would definitely go berserk.
Long Aotian would also lose his temper.
He was suddenly sidelined, so strange!
Houde Group was considered number one in Xuecheng's pharmaceutical industry, and among the top few in the entire North Kingdom. But looking at the whole country, it definitely couldn't rank in the top hundred.
Only those with strong capabilities could poach top-tier talent, form the strongest, most famous teams.
His own team didn't have many high-end development projects.
The nation's, the world's most cutting-edge projects were all in the hands of truly large groups. Houde Group's positioning in the national pharmaceutical industry was basically equivalent to a middle class.
Completely incomparable to the big shots above, no competitiveness either, just a bit stronger, a bit more decent than ordinary small fries, not much more.
That's all.
Now Houde Group's operations and layout were completely different from what Xu Ziyun envisioned.
And Xu Xuejiao's personal emotional relationships were complicated enough to give him a headache.
Two otherworldly masters both wanted to marry Xu Xuejiao, with the domineering and ruthless implication that if they couldn't marry Xu Xuejiao, they would wipe the Xu family off the face of the earth.
What to do!?
What to do ah!?
Xu Ziyun lay in bed, moaning and groaning.
The main door opened, Chen Qingbin walked in: "Old Xu? Why are you sick?"
Xu Ziyun insisted on sitting up: "Aiya, Old Chen is here, sit sit sit, been stressed these few days."
After Chen Qingbin sat down, he said smilingly: "You usually have the best health, why stressed now? Your Houde Group is the most profitable, what's there to be stressed about?"
"Ai! Difficult!"
"Alright alright, don't overthink it, take care of your health, let's play golf together, play mahjong."
Xu Ziyun said: "Old Chen, you are..."
At this moment, the main door opened again. Lu Guanghong and Leng Tianhao also came in.
"Old Xu! Heard you were sick? We came to see you! Hahaha!"
Leng Tianhao was very bold.
Lu Guanghong was much more composed, walked inside, greeted, then quietly sat down on the side.
The four old men gathered again. Everyone looked at each other, then laughed together.
Xu Ziyun didn't laugh, he was worried.
"Gentlemen are all thoughtful, Ziyun thanks elder brothers for your concern."
Leng Tianhao said: "Ai! Why be polite, with our relationship, it's expected, expected."
Several people chatted for a few sentences.
Chen Qingbin was the first to ask the key question: "Old Xu ah, your daughter recently... seems to still be close to Lu Chengwen. No, who exactly is your daughter dating?"
Xu Ziyun feared them asking this the most.
Because he didn't know!
He himself wasn't sure who Xu Xuejiao was currently with.
You say she's with Lu Chengwen? She and Long Aotian are also... quite good, and she's undercover, he and Long Aotian both know this.
You say she's with Long Aotian? She seems quite friendly with that Zhao Ritian recently, even a bit flirty with Zhao Ritian.
You say she's with Zhao Ritian?
This girl... I don't know!
But, if others ask, he has to answer.
Otherwise... what kind of person would his daughter become!?
Dating everywhere?
"Uh... uh just... just... mm..."
Leng Tianhao even felt tired for him: "So uncertain?"
Xu Ziyun sighed: "Brothers, can we talk about something else?"
