“I’ve got good news for you.”

In response to Yang Ningyuan’s question, Fang Qiu smiled and took a sip of tea. Then he asked, “What do you think of Siqi Pharmaceutical Company and Taikang Pharmaceutical Company?”

“Huh?”

Yang Ningyuan was at a loss. He gazed at Fang Qiu with a puzzled look and asked, “What do you mean?”

Mr. Li, who was sitting on the ground in another tearoom separated by an ancient screen next door, was also confused when he heard Fang Qiu’s question.

What Fang Qiu said was clearly something he and Yang Ningyuan had not expected.

Nevertheless, it was also because of this unexpected topic that both of them became more confused and curious about Fang Qiu’s visit this time.

Over there, Fang Qiu put down the teacup and asked with a smile, “I mean, what do you think of taking over the two companies?”

Yang Ningyuan and Mr. Li were shocked at the same time the moment they heard what he said.

Siqi Pharmaceutical Company and Taikang Pharmaceutical Company were the top pharmaceutical companies in the country. They could be ranked among the top 10 pharmaceutical companies. How could such pharmaceutical companies be taken over so easily?

Moreover, pharmaceutical companies were something that millions of people wanted to own stocks in these days, but they were not short of money at all. No matter how much money you had, it was almost impossible to own such stocks!

Before Fang Qiu asked this question, Yang Ningyuan had never thought that he could be associated with pharmaceutical companies.

Now, since Fang Qiu had mentioned it, he thought it was quite interesting.

“Are you kidding me?” Yang Ningyuan replied in surprise.

“I’m not kidding.”

Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “These two companies are about to go bankrupt!”

“What?”

Yang Ningyuan was astounded!

Mr. Li, who was behind the screen, was also startled by the news.

Two of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies in the country were going to go bankrupt so easily?

How was that possible?

However, unlike Yang Ningyuan, Mr. Li immediately recalled that these two companies seemed to have been exposed by Fang Qiu for problems with their drugs before when Fang Qiu mentioned these two companies.

Then, what did Fang Qiu mean by saying that the two companies were going to go bankrupt?

Yang Ningyuan asked in surprise, “What’s going on? As far as I know, Siqi and Taikang are among the top 10 pharmaceutical companies in the country. These two companies are flush with cash, have almost no loans, and maintain a high degree of liquidity. How could they possibly go bankrupt?”

“You’ll know the specific situation soon.”

Fang Qiu didn’t make it clear. He just asked, “If Siqi Pharmaceutical Company and Taikang Pharmaceutical Company are on the verge of bankruptcy, are you willing to buy these two companies?”

From the beginning, Fang Qiu indeed had considered Yang Ningyuan as the person who would take over the two companies. On the one hand, it was because Yang Ningyuan was a businessman. On the other hand, it was because Yang Ningyuan had the financial resources.

The reason why he went to find Yang Ningyuan was that on the one hand, he had to fight back because these two companies had framed him. The result of his counterattack would be the bankruptcy of the two companies.

If these two companies really went bankrupt, their employees would be deprived of their source of livelihood. In order not to affect these employees, Fang Qiu had to find someone to take over the two companies, not only because Yang Ningyuan had the financial resources and strength to do that, but also because Fang Qiu needed a business partner.

On the other hand, Desert Cistanche’s cultivation had proved to be successful at present, and Fang Qiu’s next step was to set up a company. Nonetheless, if he rashly set up a company, he would inevitably be suppressed by the business world.

That was because people in the business world knew how much impact Fang Qiu’s establishment of his own company would have on the business world. They, especially the pharmaceutical businessmen in the business circle, would never allow him to steal their market shares so easily.

Even if no one suppressed him, Fang Qiu knew nothing about running a business at all at present. Even though the company was established, it would surely grow slowly since he had no managerial experience.

Therefore, before setting up a company, Fang Qiu needed a reliable partner and guide, and Yang Ningyuan was undoubtedly a good candidate.

Not only did he have a good personal relationship with Fang Qiu, but he was also a famous business tycoon.

In every way, he was the best candidate.

To Fang Qiu’s surprise, Yang Ningyuan was shocked as he heard him.

He didn’t know where Fang Qiu got the news that Siqi Pharmaceutical Company and Taikang Pharmaceutical Company were going to go bankrupt. Logically speaking, Fang Qiu could not have known such news in advance. Even if this matter really happened, it would inevitably spread in the business circle first. However, nothing was happening in the business circle these days.

There was no problem with the current state of Siqi Pharmaceutical Company and Taikang Pharmaceutical Company.

In this case, why was Fang Qiu so sure that these two pharmaceutical companies would go bankrupt?

The only possibility was that Fang Qiu was the man behind the scenes!

“Is it Fang Qiu who wants to bankrupt these two listed companies?”

The more Yang Ningyuan thought about it, the more shocked he felt!

Over there, Mr. Li was shocked as well.

He reacted quicker than Yang Ningyuan did because he had thought that these two companies held a grudge against Fang Qiu a long time ago, so he was somewhat mentally prepared.

Nevertheless, when Fang Qiu was sure that the two companies would undoubtedly go bankrupt in the way he asked, Mr. Li was dumbfounded.

He and Yang Ningyuan had thought about 10,000 reasons for Fang Qiu’s coming, but they had never expected that he would come here to talk about the survival of two listed companies.

These two companies were listed and were among the top 10 pharmaceutical companies in the country!

“I don’t know why you are so sure that these two companies will go bankrupt. Even if Siqi and Taikang do go bankrupt, I can’t take them over.”

Yang Ningyuan suppressed the shock inside him, frowned, and continued with a serious face, “Different trades, worlds apart. Medicine is indeed profitable, but I know nothing about it. Even if I buy them and succeed, these two companies can only continue to depreciate. I’m not in such a losing business.”

Hearing that, Fang Qiu smiled.

He knew it was time to sweeten the pot.

If he didn’t give them some profits, how could these businessmen feel free to do whatever they wanted when he was dealing with them?

“Help me boil a pot of clear water and get a few clean cups.”

Fang Qiu opened his mouth.

“What are you going to do?”

Yang Ningyuan was stunned at first, but then he nodded to the steward outside the tearoom and motioned him to do as Fang Qiu told him.

Sometime later, the steward came over with a tray.

On the tray were six clean cups and a pot of freshly boiled water.

After the steward put the water and cups on the table, Fang Qiu fished out a small wooden box from his pocket, opened it, and took out two slices of Fairy Desert Cistanche. He put one in each clean cup and soaked them in the boiled water.

“What’s that?” Yang Ningyuan asked in confusion.

“Desert Cistanche.”

Fang Qiu smiled slightly and explained, “It’s one of the nine magic herbs of the Taoist school. It helps enrich yang without bringing about dryness-heat and tonify yin without being excessive. Yet this one in my hand is not ordinary.”

“Oh?”

Yang Ningyuan was curious.

Neither did he have much research on medicine, nor did he know what the nine magic herbs of Taoist school were. He only knew that Desert Cistanche was a kind of medicine that could nourish kidneys. Although he was not familiar with herbs, he knew very well that Fang Qiu was a top-notch Chinese Medicine practitioner. Since Fang Qiu took out this stuff, it meant that it was extraordinary.

It was only when Yang Ningyuan thought of this that his interest was piqued a little.

If it were in normal times, he would have asked someone to shut up if he or she told him anything about medicinal herbs or something like that.

It took him a lot of effort to wait for the water to cool down, and then he raised his cup and took a big sip with expectation.

After that, he felt refreshed and energetic in an instant.

“How is it?” Fang Qiu asked with a smile.

“Hey, you didn’t give me a stimulant, did you?”

Yang Ningyuan stared at the slice of Desert Cistanche in the cup in surprise.

“Of course I didn’t.”

Fang Qiu shook his head and added, “I’m a Chinese Medicine doctor. I only use Chinese herbal medicine. Both the cup and the water are yours. What’s inside the cup is indeed Desert Cistanche. If you don’t believe me, you can take it to have a check!”

.

Yang Ningyuan immediately opened his mouth and said, “Of course, I do. But isn’t this stuff too refreshing?”

Fang Qiu smiled faintly and said, “That’s just a superficial feeling. The real effect must be beyond your expectation.”

“Then I’ll take a few more sips.”

Yang Ningyuan laughed out loud and drank a big mouthful of water.

“The reason why I took it out is that I have successfully cultivated Desert Cistanche, and mass-production is available.”

Fang Qiu opened his mouth and continued, “The effect of the mass-produced Desert Cistanche is about one-tenth of that of this one. Meanwhile, I can also provide an exclusive prescription, which can guarantee excellent health preservation and effect in a very short time. Now, I wonder if you’re interested in taking over the two companies, Siqi and Taikang?”

Fang Qiu smiled.

Over there, Mr. Li could no longer suppress the curiosity inside him. He stood up, pulled the screen open, and walked over.

Fang Qiu was not surprised at Mr. Li’s appearance at all. He had already known that someone was next door, so he deliberately prepared two cups of Desert Cistanche Water.

“May I have a try?”

Walking into the tearoom, Mr. Li directly faced Fang Qiu.

“Please.”

Fang Qiu was not surprised at all. He directly pushed the cup of warm Desert Cistanche Water in front of him to Mr. Li.

Mr. Li couldn’t wait to raise the cup and take a big sip.

He frowned as the water entered his mouth.

Then, he slowly swallowed it.

“Amazing.”

After drinking it, Mr. Li took a long breath. He felt much more comfortable and relaxed. The blockage of the blood in his body, caused by sitting in the next room and not daring to move, was instantly eliminated.

“It’s genuinely wonderful.”

Feeling the changes in his body and the great improvement of his spirit, Mr. Li couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

After that, he exchanged a glance with Yang Ningyuan, and the two laughed at the same time.

“This is Mr. Li.”

Yang Ningyuan quickly introduced him to Fang Qiu and said, “Mr. Li is the top business tycoon in Huaxia. It’s rare for him to come to my place. He heard that you were coming, so he listened to our conversations next door. You don’t mind, do you?”

“I believe in you.”

Fang Qiu pointed to the cup in front of Mr. Li with a smile.

The two of them instantly understood.

“Hello, my name is Li Qihua.”

Mr. Li stretched out his hand to Fang Qiu.

“Nice to meet you.”

Fang Qiu nodded with a smile.

“Well, now that Mr. Li has come out, shall we get on with business?”

As Fang Qiu spoke, Yang Ningyuan and Li Qihua looked at each other again, and they saw interest in each other’s eyes.

“Can the effect of the medicine you mentioned be truly about one-tenth of that of this one, and it can be mass-produced?” Yang Ningyuan asked.
