The establishment of Xinglong Pharmaceutical Company by the Goryeo chaebols this time was merely a matter of bribing several major pharmaceutical companies in Jiangbei City, thereby hoarding all the medicinal materials in their hands. Lu Yang’s objective was to make these major pharmaceutical companies fearful, forcing them to either surrender or go bankrupt. Once they went bankrupt, the medicinal materials would flow into the market, and even the Goryeo chaebols would not be able to consume them all. Lu Yang naturally would not stand idly by; he would acquire them in batches and ensure sufficient supply to the market to stabilize prices.
This was one of Lu Yang’s plans. His second plan, the worst-case scenario, was that the Goryeo chaebols would use a large amount of capital to bail out these pharmaceutical companies. If Lu Yang could not deal with them, he would contact his subordinate, oil magnate Gularhently, to import a large quantity of medicinal materials from abroad to stabilize the market.
With this thought, Lu Yang took out his phone and called Lin Guoxiong.
“Old Lin, find all the major pharmaceutical companies in Jiang Province. Go and contact them personally. If they are willing to cooperate with us and stand against the Goryeo chaebols, they are our allies. If they are unwilling to cooperate and choose to work with the Goryeo chaebols, then use funds to crush their stocks!”
Lu Yang said directly into the phone.
“Understood, Chairman. I will handle it right away!”
Lin Guoxiong did not ask Lu Yang why he was doing this. He knew that Lu Yang had his reasons and was only responsible for execution.
Soon, Lin Guoxiong contacted five major pharmaceutical companies in Jiang Province. Except for one that was willing to stand with Haitong Group to defend the order of the Jiang Province pharmaceutical industry and resist the tactics of the Korean chaebols, the other four had already been bought over by the Koreans. The Goryeo chaebols had already begun suppressing the stock prices of this particular company. It was evident that Han Cheng'en and Lu Yang thought alike, both employing similar tactics to seize market share.
“Provide support to this pharmaceutical company and boost their stock prices. Simultaneously, aggressively suppress the stock prices of the other four pharmaceutical companies. Befriending a wolf means they are seeking a quicker demise!”
Lu Yang said coldly, his eyes filled with ice. He detested traitors the most and would spare no effort in ruining companies that sided with the Koreans.
“Understood, Chairman. I have already initiated this plan. We have invested one hundred billion so far to operate in the stock market!”
Lin Guoxiong said respectfully to Lu Yang.
“Yes, I understand. Continue to monitor the situation and report any developments to me immediately!”
Lu Yang said directly.
After handling these matters, Lu Yang took out his phone again and called Gularhently.
“Oh, my dear boss, I finally received your call! I thought you had forgotten about me!”
Gularhently said to the phone with a playful smile.
“Where have you been lately, my boy? I haven’t seen you around.”
Lu Yang asked with a smile.
“There was a minor issue in Africa recently, and I’ve been dealing with it. I estimate it will take another week before I can head to China.”
Gularhently explained on the phone.
“If it’s a minor issue, let your subordinates handle it. You’re of an advanced age; shouldn’t you be enjoying your retirement?”
“Especially since your body is full of vigor again, you should start a family. With your assets, you can afford to have as many descendants as you wish!”
Lu Yang continued, smiling.
“Boss, you think so highly of me? Then you must continue to prepare some medicinal tonics for me. I feel like I’ve been too vigorous lately, and my body can’t keep up.”
Gularhently said with a pained expression, looking at himself with great dejection.
“Alright, I’ll help you recuperate when you get back!”
“However, there’s something I need your help with now. I need a large quantity of medicinal materials. Prepare them in advance, and we’ll have them transported when the time comes!”
Lu Yang said to Gularhently.
“No problem at all, boss. Coincidentally, one of my subordinates is in the business of medicinal materials and is quite successful. We can get as much as you need!”
Gularhently agreed readily. No matter how valuable the medicinal materials were, as long as they could be bought with money, Gularhently could procure them.
“Okay, I’ll send you the list of medicinal materials and their quantities later. Have your subordinate prepare them. We may or may not need them.”
Lu Yang continued.
“Please rest assured, boss. I guarantee the task will be completed!”
Gularhently continued.
“Alright, then I’ll wait for your return from Africa to help you recuperate again, aiming to help you have a harem and a house full of grandchildren!”
Lu Yang said with a smile and hung up the phone.
Having temporarily settled the issue of medicinal materials in Jiangbei City, Lu Yang could now set aside this matter and focus on the new energy vehicle business.
At three in the afternoon, Lu Yang was in his office at Haitong Group. A proposal was already placed on his desk.
After Lu Yang reviewed the proposal, he nodded.
“Good, we will proceed according to this proposal!”
“I already have a candidate for the general manager of the New Energy Vehicle Company. I will announce it once the company is officially approved!”
Lu Yang said to Lin Guoxiong with a smile.
“Understood, Chairman. Oh, right, there’s a small matter. What should we name our New Energy Vehicle Company?”
Lin Guoxiong suddenly remembered this and immediately looked at Lu Yang to ask.
“This…”
“How about ‘Ten Thousand Purples and Thousand Reds’?”
“The new energy market is developing vigorously, and our company will shine brightly. ‘Ten Thousand Purples and Thousand Reds’ has a good meaning.”
Lu Yang said with a smile.
“Alright, I’ll go and register the company now!”
After hearing Lu Yang’s words, Lin Guoxiong immediately took action to register “Ten Thousand Purples and Thousand Reds.”
Having arranged these matters, Lu Yang could finally sit back in his seat and rest.
However, before he could rest for a few minutes, someone Lu Yang did not expect appeared before him.
“Ling Que Wang? What brings you here?”
Lu Yang was very surprised to see Ling Que Wang. Given Ling Que Wang’s status, it was highly unlikely for him to visit Lu Yang unless there was something important, or perhaps he was looking for trouble because of their previous fight.
“Lu Yang, I’ve come to talk to you about something.”
“I originally looked down on you, but after seeing your recent performance, I feel I should change my attitude towards you. Perhaps you are not that detestable, and it might be my preconceived notions that were too strong, leading to such thoughts.”
Ling Que Wang said coldly, looking at Lu Yang.
“Haha, if Ling Que Wang can think this way, should I thank you?”
“Listen to me and thank you, because of you, the seasons are warm…”
Lu Yang started singing with a smile.
“Don’t be so flippant. A change of heart is just that, but your strength still doesn’t meet my standards, even though you have already entered the realm of Grandmaster of Martial Arts…”
“If Fei Hu Wang hadn’t mentioned you to me so often, I wouldn’t have made this trip!”
“I didn’t realize that the reason you were able to grow was with Fei Hu Wang’s help. I truly didn’t know this before!”
Ling Que Wang remained very cold, his demeanor refined, as he looked at Lu Yang and spoke.
