Chapter 120: Chapter 36: Massive Yin Souls
After signing the contract, Song Chengde's smile was impossible to conceal.
Because of the car manufacturing, he had accumulated a huge personal debt.
Now, with this acquisition deal, he wouldn't just be able to repay the bank loan, but also start anew with a sum of capital, which naturally made him very happy.
Otherwise, if it really came to the bank taking over and auctioning off Mu Hua Company, he figured he wouldn't be left with much at all.
“Mr. Su, be wary of Yikang Company, the turmoil at the entrance of the breeding farm today might have been their doing.”
Song Chengde reminded Su Jie before leaving.
“Oh, Yikang Company?”
Su Jie's gaze shifted to Liu Yingying, seeking an explanation.
“Yikang Company is also a large-scale breeding firm, currently valued at 12.5 billion. During our participation in the negotiations to acquire Mu Hua Company, they also stepped in with an offer, but their price showed little sincerity, and they were eliminated from contention right from the start.”
Liu Yingying had done her homework; she had researched a lot about the breeding industry and was familiar with the major companies.
“Yikang Company's CEO, Yu Duanchong, has always been competing with me in this industry. Apart from my own reasons, I suspect that Yikang Company played a part in the crisis of Mu Hua Company, kicking us when we were down and hoping to acquire my company at a low price.”
Song Chengde explained, emphasizing that he was not making unfounded accusations.
Liu Yingying felt somewhat guilty and said, “Mr. Su, my background check wasn't thorough enough.”
If they had known that Mu Hua Company was being targeted by a malicious competitor, then they would have had to think twice about the acquisition, as the opponent might very well consider Su Jie, whom they thought had taken their business, as a new rival.
“It's alright,”
Su Jie gestured dismissively and said to Song Chengde, “Mr. Song, if you have any information on Yikang Company, send me a copy.”
“No problem. Yu Duanchong of Yikang Company tends to be quite aggressive; you'd better be careful,”
Song Chengde readily agreed and reiterated his warning.
He hadn't mentioned Yikang Company earlier for fear that Su Jie would hesitate to take over. Now that the acquisition deal was completed, he felt free to speak his mind.
Su Jie chuckled nonchalantly and said, “Business competition is all it is, and we're quite skilled at that.”
“How old are you to be skilled at anything!”
Hearing Su Jie's words, Song Chengde inwardly sneered, thinking that young people were just arrogant and might need to face some hardships.
After all, as far as Song Chengde was aware, Su Jie was managing Tianyuan Home, and although it had been making a splash in the home market recently, it was mainly due to their high-end materials overpowering competitors, with no cunning business battles involved, let alone any experience in the breeding industry. He had no idea how deep the waters were.
“Well, I wish Mr. Su prosperous business and to quickly become the leader in the breeding industry.”
Song Chengde didn't say much more. He had decided to exit the industry anyway, and since he had so little attachment left to Mu Hua Company, he wouldn't have sold it so readily otherwise. Whatever happened afterward was none of his concern.
As they watched Song Chengde leave, Liu Yingying voiced her concern, “I'll have our people be more vigilant immediately, just in case Yikang Company really causes some trouble.”
“Yeah, go ahead and do that. And you needn't worry too much. Small tricks are fine, but if they go too far, I'll step in,”
Su Jie's expression was deep as he spoke, startling Liu Yingying.
“Mr. Su, you wouldn't be thinking of… this is domestic, if you resort to guns and violence, it could get too out of hand for us to manage.”
Liu Yingying felt extremely uneasy, recalling what Su Jie had done in the Mande Region.
Those who crossed Su Jie ended up miserably, so she couldn't help wondering if he planned to employ the same tactics in Hua Country.
But Hua Country is different from the Mande Region!
In Chan Country, there was already division and chaos, so if you killed someone in Hua Country, it wouldn't be so easy to get away with it, and you would be more likely to trap yourself.
“What are you thinking? I'm a law-abiding businessman, so why would I do such a tasteless thing? I won't act rashly,” Mr. Su said with a smile, but he did not mention one thing, which is that to cause someone's death, you need not necessarily resort to knives and guns.
Guangyi County, Mu Hua No.1 Breeding Farm.
When the acquisition was completed, Su Jie immediately began his transformation work.
It took several days to hire a construction team, which transformed the place completely according to his own vision.
Inside the slaughterhouse, several altar-like structures were built, enclosed by high-strength glass for protection.
On the altars were enshrined several deities from Hua Country, such as the Jade Emperor, Guanyin, Lord Guan, and others.
Hidden among these statues were Soul Summoning Banners, not just one, but quite a few.
After all, Soul Summoning Banners were cheap and simple to make, so Su Jie made several more to cover the entire slaughterhouse.
“Hmm, not bad, this looks very comfortable.”
Standing in front of the altar, Su Jie lit the incense and placed it in the incense burner, nodding in satisfaction as he observed his masterpiece.
There were some workers around, but actually many of them were stealing glances at this spot, incessantly gossiping behind the scenes, feeling that Su Jie was too superstitious, building altars in this place when they weren't running a temple.
“Mr. Su, the altars have also been built in the other slaughterhouses according to your requirements,” reported the person in charge of the breeding farm, as Mu Hua Company owned multiple breeding and slaughtering facilities, some not located in Guangyi County, and all had undergone similar transformations.
“What do you think, do these altars look good?” Su Jie asked as he wiped the statues, which were not ordinary—for the exterior was the likeness of the gods, but inside, besides Soul Summoning Banners, there were Spirit Stones and even some rudimentary prohibitions set up.
In this way, even without Su Jie's control, the Soul Summoning Banners could automatically absorb souls.
“Um, I… I think, the workers have some minor complaints, slaughtering pigs all day and then looking at these statues, it seems a bit unnatural.”
The person in charge chuckled awkwardly, carefully conveying the workers' sentiments.
“You're wrong. These statues are specially invited by me. It is exactly because the killing is too heavy that we need the altars for evil-suppressing and disaster-relief, to protect our safety.”
Su Jie shook his head with a smile, but as he spoke, from the pigs that had just been slaughtered in the facility, streams of Soul Light Balls flew like swallows returning to their nest, entering the statues, and eventually being absorbed into the Soul Summoning Banners.
If a cultivator from Tianyuan World were here to hear Su Jie's words, they would surely curse loudly.
For what Su Jie was doing was the terrifying method of Soul Extraction and Yin Refining, and far from being used for evil-suppressing and disaster-relief, these Soul Summoning Banners were the most evil objects of all.
The person in charge twitched the corner of his mouth, treating this as the new boss's superstitious quirk and silently gazed at the statues atop the altar.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but he felt that these statues really had some inexplicable aura, as if they were discreetly watching him, a sinister chill making him somewhat uneasy.
“It's just an illusion; I'm not superstitious,” the person in charge shook his head and looked again, finding the statues appeared completely ordinary.
But what he didn't know was that, inside the statues, eerie shadows were wildly twisting on the face of the banners, and as the black Soul Banners grew increasingly defined, more and more Yin Souls were taking shape, their weird and cold gazes chilling to the core.
