At nine o'clock in the evening, the headquarters of Longshan Capital was brightly lit, with the entire staff, including the general manager Du Qian, working overtime.
This was because Longteng Pharmaceutical Group had released an announcement that evening: Longteng Pharmaceutical would jointly establish a pharmaceutical company with the Su Group to produce and sell Qi and Blood Pills for martial artists.
Upon its release, this news sent shockwaves through the pharmaceutical industry and capital markets of Longguo, akin to a magnitude twelve earthquake!
On one hand, Longteng Pharmaceutical was the leading enterprise in Longguo's pharmaceutical industry, and every move it made attracted considerable attention.
On the other hand, the production and sale of Qi and Blood Pills were Longteng Pharmaceutical's largest source of revenue and one of the most profitable businesses in the world!
"Boss, the patron is truly formidable!"
"Indeed, I expected the Su Group to have a big move up its sleeve, but I never dreamed that Longteng Pharmaceutical would cooperate with the Su Group in the Qi and Blood Pill business!"
"Boss, how many times do you think the Su Group's stock will surge after the market opens tomorrow?"
...
In the conference room, the executives of Longshan Capital discussed excitedly, eager for the market to open.
"I am not a deity, so I cannot predict the exact increase in the Su Group's stock price tomorrow, but I can say with certainty that the Su Group will create a stock market legend, and all of us here are participants in this legend!"
Du Qian, the chairman of Longshan Capital, said spiritedly.
A legend!
Hearing Du Qian's words, no one in the conference room disagreed.
After all, not long ago, the Su Group's stock price plummeted from 100 yuan per share to 20 yuan due to raw material issues. Then, after signing a raw material contract with Longteng Pharmaceutical, it was speculated wildly to 200 yuan. Now, with this bombshell, it was entirely possible for the stock price to surge several more times!
This was unprecedented in the history of Longguo's stock market!
And just as Du Qian had said, Longshan Capital had bought in at the lowest point of the Su Group's stock price, becoming a participant in this legend. They would undoubtedly be written into the history of Longguo's stock market, becoming one of the most well-known institutions in Longguo's capital market in the future!
...
While Longshan Capital was working overtime due to the news released by Longteng Pharmaceutical, major pharmaceutical companies across Longguo, including the five that had previously harmed the Su Group because of Qiao Tianba, held emergency executive meetings that night to discuss the impact of this matter on the Longguo pharmaceutical industry.
Even some large foreign pharmaceutical companies were discussing the matter, though their focus was not on the Su Group but on Longteng Pharmaceutical.
In addition, major families in Sujiang and even Jiangnan also convened family meetings.
Initially, Qin Linhai and Li Lianyi visiting the Su family that afternoon, representing the Qin family and the Li family respectively, to wish Su Yuanshan a happy birthday was surprising enough.
Now, with Longteng Pharmaceutical allowing the Su Group to participate in the most profitable Qi and Blood Pill business, it had stunned everyone. It also made them realize one thing: the Su family was destined to rise, and would soon become one of the wealthiest families in Sujiang, even Jiangnan!
Under these circumstances, each family needed to discuss how to position their future relationship with the Su family and change their previous ways of interaction.
As all this was happening, Jiang Wuming, the mastermind behind it all, ended his conversation with Qin Linhai and returned to the Su family by car.
At ten o'clock, Zhong Gang parked Su Yuanshan's Rolls-Royce Phantom at the entrance of the Su family's ancestral home. As Jiang Wuming alighted, he saw Su Qiang squatting at the entrance, smoking a cigarette.
"Brother Wuming!"
Seeing Jiang Wuming get out of the car, Su Qiang immediately crushed his cigarette and went to meet him, greeting him with a gaze full of admiration.
Although he didn't know how Brother Wuming managed to accomplish such unbelievable things, he realized one thing: Brother Wuming was incredibly awesome!
"Qiangzi, were you waiting for me specifically?" Jiang Wuming asked with some confusion.
"Yes, Brother Wuming."
Su Qiang nodded, then said somewhat sheepishly, "This afternoon, you told me to think carefully about whether to become a martial artist and join the Martial Department, or work in the Su Group. I want to be a martial artist. Then, after my grandfather's birthday banquet, I asked my parents, and they told me to listen to you—whatever you tell me to do, I'll do."
Jiang Wuming couldn't help but smile wryly.
Although Su Shining and his wife did not strive for worldly fame, it did not mean they were fools. By telling Su Qiang to listen to Jiang Wuming, they not only believed that Jiang Wuming's chosen path for Su Qiang would surely be the best, but also wanted Su Qiang to follow Jiang Wuming and work for him.
After all, in many cases, following the right person was more important than doing the right thing.
They had ten thousand reasons to believe that as long as Su Qiang could follow Jiang Wuming, even if he was just shouting "666" behind him, it would be far more promising than Su Qiang working on his own.
"Qiangzi, follow your heart, do what you want to do, and live the life you desire—that's my advice to you."
After a wry smile, Jiang Wuming patted Su Qiang on the shoulder and said, "This is also the happiest life."
"Then I'll stick with my original choice. I want to be a martial artist and join the Martial Department. When that time comes, if Su Wu dares to show off to me again, I'll deal with him."
Su Qiang thought about it seriously, and by the end, he even seemed somewhat excited.
"Qiangzi, your vision is too narrow."
Jiang Wuming smiled and then walked into the Su family's ancestral home.
Su Qiang was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head sheepishly and shouted after Jiang Wuming's receding figure:
"Brother Wuming, I heard Sister Shiyun say you practice martial arts every morning. I'll come find you tomorrow morning and practice with you."
"Okay."
Jiang Wuming waved his hand without looking back, then saw Su Shiyun emerge from the room and proactively greet him, "Sister."
"Is Uncle Qin alright?"
Su Shiyun asked.
With her intelligence, she naturally understood that Qin Linhai's visit to wish Su Yuanshan a happy birthday indicated that the Qin family was willing to protect the Su family, and there must have been a price!
Jiang Wuming meeting Qin Linhai alone also confirmed her guess.
"He's fine."
Jiang Wuming smiled and shook his head. He did not tell Su Shiyun about his adoptive father, Su Shirong, being killed by the Yuan family.
It would only add to Su Shiyun's sorrow and indignation.
He did not want that, only wishing Liu Guifang and Su Shiyun a happy life for the rest of their days.
"By the way, Grandpa asked you to come back and see him."
Su Shiyun, being tactful, did not press further, and remembered Su Yuanshan's instructions.
"Okay."
Jiang Wuming nodded.
Originally, he intended to find Su Yuanshan after returning to the Su family's ancestral home to check on Su Yuanshan's recovery from his illness.
Although he had no doubt about the Li family's status in the medical field, nor about the medical skills of Li Lianyi, the "Little Medical Immortal," he would only be completely at ease once he saw that Su Yuanshan was truly fine.
When Jiang Wuming reached the door of Su Yuanshan's room, he did not knock immediately.
This was because he heard Su Yuanshan talking on the phone.
Afterward, Jiang Wuming stood at the door of Su Yuanshan's room for a full half hour.
During this half hour, Su Yuanshan received five phone calls, with almost no pause in between.
The owners of these five calls were the five most powerful family patriarchs in Sujiang!
After concluding their family meetings, they called Su Yuanshan at the first opportunity, not only to offer congratulations but also to show respect!
On this day,
The Su family soared to prominence thanks to Jiang Wuming!
