Chapter 147: Dong Mutian's Visit
Chapter 147: Dong Mutian's Visit
This place was relatively secluded, with no nearby neighborhoods or open shops.
However, compared to the surrounding wilderness and the Lingxi River, which lacked any signs of civilization, this area was undoubtedly much more developed.
Secluded, but with an enormous land area.
The tall walls and towering buildings within indicated the site's previous condition.
However, this once-bankrupt large factory park was now crowded with people.
Vehicles filled the parking lot within the park.
Some residents from the nearby Linzhou suburbs couldn't help but gaze curiously at the scene.
This 'Spirit Source Medicine Factory' had gone bankrupt five years ago.
However, due to contractual issues, the factory building and land had not been sold. A few days ago, someone suddenly announced that it had been sold.
In recent days, large shipping containers had been transported here, and no one knew what was happening. Now, it seemed like the time to reveal the mystery had come.
Within a few days, the factory building and courtyard had undergone a complete renovation.
Moreover, on the ten-story building in the courtyard, several large gold-plated characters were covered with red cloth.
Obviously, this was the new owner's company plaque.
From the morning, people had been entering the building without stopping.
At this moment, inside a minivan, two figures looked out the window, chatting intermittently.
One of them, around the same age as Li Shu, leaned against the window, curiously looking outside:
"Dad, what's the deal with this medicine factory? In just a while, I've seen over ten of your colleagues!"
Li Senlin fiddled with the camera in his hand and instructed the photographer beside him before glancing at Li Shu, scolding him:
"You tell me, what future do you have with me? Even if you become an editor, in the end, you'll still be earning a few thousand yuan a month at most. You won't have to worry about food and drink, but what about the future?
Su Ping was willing to teach you, but you, well, instead of seizing this rare opportunity, you ran away halfway!"
Li Shu shrank back, feeling helpless:
"I'm not a Lin Wolf Beastmaster, and this profession isn't a good fit for me either... I was responsible for reception and cleaning up after the beasts there, and it was so boring..."
Li Senlin glared at his son, feeling helpless as well. However, in the end, he could only sigh:
"Forget it. Behave yourself, kid. This time it's not a small matter. If something happens, even sacrificing your old man's life won't help."
"That's an exaggeration! No wonder those who have been sitting in offices for years still have to come out. Is this factory owner someone big? Aren't you journalists the uncrowned kings?"
Li Shu asked curiously.
Li Senlin glanced at his son, uncrowned kings? The issue was that the company behind this medicine factory was a real 'King'! He also looked at the equally curious photographer and assistant, then whispered:
"It's rumored that the new company's owner is Dong Queen from Tianyun Group..."
"Huh?"
"Tianyun Group?"
In Linzhou, in Jianghai, Tianyun Group's fame was so great that almost no one in the area didn't know about it.
Even in the entire eastern part of Dragon Country, it was the same.
Tianyun Group encompassed almost all pet-related industries and was closely related to all beastmasters.
Li Shu immediately became spirited:
"Dong Queen? Do we have a chance to see Dong Queen herself today?"
The photographer beside him quickly chimed in:
"Editor Li, I heard that Tianyun Group hasn't been calm recently!"
Before Li Senlin could speak, Li Shu, who had already become close to these people, asked curiously:
"Brother Zhang, what do you mean by not being calm?"
The photographer chuckled:
"Tianyun Group might be changing hands. It's said that Tianyun Group's subsidiaries, Tianyun Real Estate and Jingkong Entertainment, the two most influential companies, have been taken over by Dong Queen's brother, Dong Mutian!
Now, Dong Queen has started this new company. She's challenging the status quo! Indeed, the struggle for inheritance within the wealthy is more exciting than in TV dramas!"
Li Shu nodded:
"Speaking of which, doesn't Tianyun Group have a subsidiary for magic potion factories? Why did Dong Queen start another one?"
"Who knows, we can't understand the thoughts of big shots. But even so, Dong Queen's influence is truly immense. The media goes without saying, and I even saw several official figures, bank presidents, and people from other companies..."
"Are there any representatives from the Beastmaster Association?"
"There should be, but generally, the big shots from the association don't get involved in these matters..."
Beside them, Li Senlin frowned:
"Stop wasting time with all this nonsense. What does it have to do with us? Do you want to live a longer life?"
The photographer named Zhang shrank back.
Just then, someone knocked on the window:
"Are you from the Lin City Pet Express? It's almost time. Media friends, please go ahead and prepare!"
Li Senlin quickly smiled:
"Okay, thank you."
The person who gave the reminder didn't say more and left with a nod. Li Senlin hurriedly said:
"Quick, quick, let's go!"
The assistant, photographer, and Li Shu carried a pile of instruments and quickly arrived at the factory courtyard.
Seats, a stage, and other facilities had already been set up.
Even on the seats below the stage, there were already some figures.
Besides Li Senlin, other local media personnel were also setting up their cameras, aiming their lenses at the stage above.
Li Senlin only needed a glance to confirm what his assistant and photographer had just said; indeed, some rather influential figures were already seated.
Present were representatives from major banks and companies with considerable reputations in Jianghai.
However, Li Senlin couldn't help but click his tongue.
These people were indeed big shots.
But they were only big shots in their own right; in fact, just earlier in the parking lot, he had been sitting in the front passenger seat and had a clearer view than the rest.
He had actually seen some people entering the building above.
These people hadn't yet emerged.
And the seats in front were also unoccupied, clearly indicating that the truly significant figures had yet to make their formal appearance.
At this thought, Li Senlin instinctively raised his head and looked up at the company building behind the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Through the morning sunlight, Li Senlin saw a figure standing before the large floor-to-ceiling window of an office on the sixth floor, overlooking everyone gathered below.
For some reason, in the morning sunlight, Li Senlin's first impression was that the somewhat blurry figure seemed vaguely familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
It was as if he had met this person before, but before Li Senlin could take a closer look, the figure turned away, not giving Li Senlin another chance.
Li Senlin furrowed his brows.
Then he shook his head.
No, that couldn't be right.
He must have been tired and seeing things since he hadn't been resting well lately.
Although he did know some people in Linzhou, none of them were the ones he recognized. Even the people sitting outside at this moment were, to him, from a different world.
Those who could appear in that building above were probably just service staff, and it was unlikely he would know any of them.
With that thought, Li Senlin stopped overthinking and picked up the topic card again. He glanced at the question on it, which was prepared by the other party for promotional purposes. Both their newspaper and the other party had already coordinated on this, which was why he, as the chief editor, had come in person.
Su Ping yawned.
He felt somewhat bored.
It was evident that he hadn't slept well the previous night, or perhaps he hadn't slept at all.
After a night of meditation, his spiritual realm had improved slightly.
He was now closer to Elite Rank 4.
Without the corresponding resources and without the secret method to activate space absorption, his progress was indeed slower.
However, Su Ping wasn't too concerned; he considered it a consolidation of his skills.
In fact, his rank advancement speed was already way ahead of his peers.
In just three to four months, he had advanced from his initial awakening to Elite Rank 3.
Among his classmates, those who could reach Ordinary Rank 6 or 7 were considered to have exceptional talent.
Of course, Su Ping didn't feel tired at all; he was purely bored.
For him, haggling was already a mundane task.
And now, Su Ping realized there was something even more tedious: watching others haggle.
He glanced at the two people beside him.
Su Ping couldn't believe that Dong Muchun, a businesswoman with extensive experience, would be so skilled at negotiation.
But what surprised him even more was Lin Shizhang, the master breeder with thick eyebrows, who was also exceptionally adept at bargaining.

At 6 a.m., Master Breeder Lin had already arrived.
Then, together with Su Ping, they arrived early at the new company factory park, in which Su Ping held a 60% stake.
After receiving the guests and instructing the reception staff, they tested the effects of Wolf Heart and began their discussion.
At this moment, Su Ping even felt a bit nostalgic.
Where were Sun Chaorju and the people from the Breeder Association? Listening to these two haggling was far less interesting than chatting with the Breeder Association about pet cultivation.
Perhaps he could even get some benefits out of it.
Unfortunately, in the past, when he hadn't thought about these people, they would appear faster than anyone else. But now, it was already past eight o'clock, and they still hadn't shown up.
Master Breeder Lin, you know that for a magic potion with such effects, we can't compare it to those ordinary products on the market! Yes, I know that the auxiliary potion 'Pet Spirit Potion' is priced at only 40,000 yuan per bottle, and it can also be effective for the vast majority of pets.
However, for the same effect, the Pet Spirit Potion can only assist in absorbing magic potions by a maximum of 7%. And with repeated use, the effect decreases!
How can we calculate its value using multiplication? If the average effect of Wolf Heart is four times that of the Pet Spirit Potion, then if the pricing is also just four times higher, can four bottles of Pet Spirit Potion match the effect of Wolf Heart?
Master Breeder Lin, you're not a child. When the effect of a magic potion is increased by one time, its value should be increased by ten times, if not more, right?"
Dong Muchun spoke clearly:
"Of course, we can't sell Wolf Heart for one or two million yuan each; that's not in line with our Pingyun Company's principles. So, the pricing I've given you is already very reasonable!"
Lin Shizhang took a sip of water to moisten his dry throat:
"Miss Dong, the issue is that the effects of Wolf Heart haven't been fully determined. After I bring this batch back, there's still some risk involved! I can't really justify the price of 200,000 yuan. You know, this time, even if we don't have 2,000 orders, we'll definitely have at least that many."
And this is just a test. In the future, the orders from the Legion will definitely not be few! Moreover, although the Legion cannot directly provide money, they can exchange for corresponding resources. You should know that the price of some resources is far higher than their market value!"
Dong Muchun sighed and glanced at Su Ping, who was standing nearby. She helplessly said, "The problem is the price of 180,000..."
Su Ping, who was standing beside her, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Are you telling me that 180,000 isn't enough?
This is already a 500% profit.
Isn't it said that when capitalists face a 100% profit, they are already risking the gallows? Can 300% trample everything? Even 500% is not enough.
Sure enough, I'm not cut out to be a capitalist. So, Su Ping spoke up, "Miss Dong, that's enough. After all, Lin Shizhang is a member of the Legion, and he has taken good care of me. By selling this potion to the Legion, aren't we also enhancing the strength of Dragon Country and further protecting our country?"
Lin Lei chuckled and gave a thumbs up.
"Your awareness is high, Miss Dong. What do you think? If it's possible, let's sign the contract right now! Later, even if we don't mention anything else, as long as the effect of your product is promoted, you won't have to worry about the supply. I'll help you contact my old classmates and comrades-in-arms from all over the country, right?"
Upon hearing this, Dong Muchun's eyes lit up.
However, she still pretended to be reluctant and said, "Well, if that's the case, then I guess..."
The negotiation went smoothly, causing Dong Muchun to smile slightly.
If possible, it would be even better to send the Wolf Heart into the Legion at a lower price, and there wouldn't be any issues.
However, the same words still applied: the effect of the Wolf Heart was too good, making it hard to believe that its cost was so low.
After the contract was finalized, both of them relaxed their tense nerves.
Lin Lei took another big gulp of water and sighed, "I've heard of Miss Dong's reputation before, and now I truly believe that hearing is not as good as seeing. Compared to your brother..."
At this point, Lin Lei's words faltered, and he smiled awkwardly.
It was impolite to evaluate the other person's brother in front of his sister.
Dong Muchun didn't seem to mind, but she also didn't continue the conversation along this topic. After all, Dong Mutian had disgraced the Dong family.
Up until now, she was still considered a member of the Dong family.
Su Ping, on the other hand, looked on with interest.
Previously, he had only heard about Dong Muchun's brother, who was said to be in the Legion, but he wasn't clear about which Legion it was.
Now it seemed that Old Lin also knew the eldest son of the Dong family.
Lin Lei took a long breath and stood up. "Miss Dong, Su Ping, I'll go report to General Zhao. Excuse me for a moment!"
"Please!"
After Lin Lei went to the next room to make a phone call, Dong Muchun finally heaved a sigh of relief and gave Su Ping a thumbs up.
"Good teamwork!"
Su Ping blinked, "Teamwork for what?"
Dong Muchun took another sip of water, "The price of 180,000 could have been agreed upon earlier. I was waiting for you to speak up, so that this Lin Shizhang would owe you a favor, and there wouldn't be any further disputes or troubles regarding the price. But you spoke up too late, and I thought you weren't satisfied!"
Is that so?
Su Ping was a bit skeptical.
So, he had been waiting idly for half a day, and it was his own doing? He had unknowingly become an accomplice to the capitalist? Damn, there were too many schemes, and a kind-hearted and inexperienced young man like him was too easily manipulated.
Shaking his head helplessly, before Su Ping could speak, a phone rang. It wasn't Su Ping's phone, but Dong Muchun's.
However, when Dong Muchun took out her phone, her smile-filled expression immediately changed to a frown and impatience.
At this moment, in this situation, the only person who could make her react this way was one person.
"Hello, Dong Mutian?"
Was it that Dong family's eldest son again?
Su Ping raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything further.
However, it was visible that Dong Muchun's expression suddenly became even more unpleasant.
"Dong Mutian, how dare you follow me?"
But soon, Dong Muchun's expression changed again, becoming extremely strange and filled with a hint of playful mockery.
"What, do you want to come in now, but you have to notify me in advance? Why don't you just use your tamed beast to force your way in?"
"Hehehe, okay, okay, give the phone to the guard."
"Yes, I'll let him in. You can come directly to the reception room on the sixth floor!"
After hanging up the phone, Su Ping looked at the coldly smiling Dong Muchun. He always felt that whenever she smiled like this, something bad was about to happen.
However, this time, it probably had nothing to do with him... right?
At the same time, at the entrance of the company's park, Dong Mutian also walked in with a cold smile.
Beside Dong Mutian was a middle-aged man with a wooden expression.
"Dong San, you must remember what you see here and tell Father! This despicable woman not only dares to use the group's assets to keep a gigolo, but now she's even using the group's resources to set up this dog-shit company in her personal capacity! What does she want to do?"
After speaking, the two of them ignored the astonished gazes of the people in front of the ribbon-cutting stage and walked straight into the building!
