"Of course, I want to cooperate with you. We've made up our minds like a turtle eating a scale, determined to bring the other down. If you think our Cheng family has a place to exert itself, then I hope you'll cooperate with us. I don't want to give up on this matter just like that."
As he spoke, Chen Yang's face showed an unprecedented determination. Seeing his resolve, Ye Tiancheng no longer wanted to object, as there was no point in making things too clear.
The only thing that mattered was to simplify the issue and make it suitable. Why do this? Naturally, for greater benefits.
If the Cheng family only hitched a ride on Ye Tiancheng's grand ship, they would be useless in the future. Their greedy hearts now felt like they had spotted a huge bait, and it was impossible not to take it.
Because human hearts are inherently greedy, everyone is pretty much the same. In the face of profit, no one can stand aside. Everyone seems eager to devour this bait. To get their hands on it, everyone becomes quite wicked, with wicked expressions on their faces.
Seeing their greedy expressions, Ye Tiancheng said nothing more, as nothing he said would be useful. Once profit is displayed so vividly,
No matter what you say, it's useless. Because you are accustomed to viewing everything in the world this way, you won't listen to anything useful. People always develop in the direction of profit, constantly seeking greater benefits.
This kind of thing also holds significant practical meaning for the literary side. If these things lacked substantial meaning, he would absolutely not consider them as what he desired. Because of this, no matter what happened, he would not easily change anything about himself.
If your heart is fixed on something, it will never change easily. At this moment, someone came to inform them that an auction would be held in the near future.
If someone's product was good, it would represent their ability to enter the traditional Chinese medicine market. This was a bloody battle. Since ancient times, the business world has been like a battlefield, with everyone's nerves stretched taut, all wanting to gain the greatest profit here. Ye Tiancheng was no different; he would never easily hand over the benefits he could obtain to others.
Upon hearing this news, he couldn't help but rejoice, because if anyone had good traditional Chinese medicine, it would undoubtedly be him.
"It has to be him. It seems you're forcing the issue. If you defeat the Black Cloth Society at the auction, all the traditional Chinese medicine markets in this area will fall under your name. But at that time, the people of the Black Cloth Society who have settled in the vicinity will absolutely not let you off. They will see you as a thorn in their side, a splinter in their flesh."
"It doesn't matter. I have to duel them sooner or later anyway. Sooner or later, I'll have to face them. Therefore, I care less about how they deal with me. What I care about is how to be considered the absolute best in the traditional Chinese medicine market?"
Ye Tiancheng asked knowingly. In fact, he possessed the Yellow Springs Flower, which could be used to refine excellent products. Once he refined this item, it would make these things even more profitable. Therefore, for him, anything that became truly strange would make people feel afraid.
"If that's really the case, then it's truly outrageous. You are an expert in alchemy yourself, yet you say such things. I don't know how you can say them."
No one would find him detestable for such a question. It was hateful that someone could speak so righteously. How could this not make people angry and dislike him? Perhaps sometimes people feel they are just drifting along like dead people, but in the eyes of others, some things are not meant to be explained too clearly and explicitly, which is why they are so hesitant and indecisive.
But it's not entirely their fault, as everyone is the instigator of their own interests. In the face of profit, no one is truly wise. What they think in their hearts is solely for the sake of profit. No matter what, as long as they can obtain the greatest and most comprehensive benefits, even if they have to pay more, it's all worth it. Therefore, in the face of profit, no one can easily stay out of it.
Ye Tiancheng knew this very well, but he didn't say it because some things, when explained too clearly, become meaningless.
Ye Tiancheng knew it in his heart, so his reluctance to speak was understandable. Explaining things too clearly would make Chen Yang very angry. Chen Yang was not Chen Xue. His brother was different. Chen Yang harbored very complex things in his heart. That is to say, Chen Yang was second only to Ye Tiancheng, but Ye Tiancheng.
He would not easily reveal his opinions, because appearing too clever at this moment would be annoying. Everyone dislikes someone who is exceptionally intelligent. When you cooperate with someone, appearing honest will make them feel you are reliable. If you always appear very smart, it will invite resentment.
Ye Tiancheng didn't want to be too clever, nor did he want to pretend to be too foolish. What needed to be expressed should be expressed. If what needed to be expressed was not expressed, then he would be very laughable and pathetic.
To fully display this purpose, his heart was very strong in expressing his intentions. As time went by, these intentions and thoughts became more and more mature. No matter what, this was something he was willing to see and something he was willing to pursue. As time went by, this thing might become more and more apparent.
Therefore, for Ye Tiancheng, his most urgent task now was to act honest and unassuming, not to let anyone suspect him of having any ulterior motives or wicked plans, otherwise, all his efforts would be in vain. One should not be too clever, nor too foolish; one must express their stance very firmly and appear harmless, and then you will succeed.
Therefore, for Chen Xue and her brother, such matters were a silent dialogue between them. As long as they felt that others had a good impression of them, they had already succeeded by more than half. Therefore, everything about them was in the hands of others. Regardless of whether they were unwilling or willing, these things would undoubtedly appear before them.
When all of this becomes reality, it will reveal a person's capability and their way of handling matters. Ye Tiancheng did not want to be too foolish, nor did he want to be too silent, because silence was a very sinful thing for him.
"You must persist in your stance to succeed. I believe you already have plans for what you want to do. There's no need for me to say it too clearly."
At this point, Chen Xue smiled faintly. In fact, she had no intention of smiling at Ye Tiancheng because she felt Ye Tiancheng was far too clever for her. It was very difficult to make a clever person feel that you were harmless, because everyone knew what the other was thinking.
Once things are made clear, they can see what the other is thinking in their hearts, they just haven't said it out loud. Some things are better left unsaid; once said, they can hurt feelings. It is precisely because of this that Ye Tiancheng did not express himself with words. What he said earlier was too blunt, and that was for the chesty but brainless Chen Xue.
If it were for her brother, it would truly be unacceptable. Her brother was much more capable than her. Therefore, when dealing with intelligent people, one should not speak too plainly.
"I heard you have a way to make yourself more powerful, so our worries are in vain. I believe you have your own methods. Since that's the case, let's not say any more. We'll meet at the venue in Jincheng then. I'll send someone to give you a ticket."
At this moment, Chen Yang said to Ye Tiancheng. He was already preparing and didn't want to waste time here. He was also a traditional Chinese medicine merchant, so he had to prepare for the auction where he would be bidding traditional Chinese medicine. To prove that his family was still viable, he had to take advantage of this early period to prepare.
He couldn't go empty-handed, or he would be laughed at by his peers.
Therefore, he eagerly bid farewell to Ye Tiancheng. Ye Tiancheng naturally understood what was on his mind, and after all, he also had to prepare. He couldn't wait to leave this place because the Black Cloth Society had not been completely eradicated.
They would rise again with this operation and might even duel Ye Tiancheng more intensely here. These people were not to be trifled with.
They were also a force that had been operating for many years, possessing their own unique advantages in terms of time, place, and people. Their connections were very strong, and it was extremely difficult to eliminate such people. Because he understood this principle, he was still a little worried.
After all, those who are about to leave must be prepared for everything. Without preparation, they will be swept out of the door. The business world is a bloodless war, and a moment of carelessness can lead to being completely devoured by the opponent. Ye Tiancheng, who had been in the business world for many years, would not easily admit defeat.
He would definitely fight them properly.
No matter how powerful the opponent was, as long as he approached it seriously, there would be a chance of victory. Ye Tiancheng always told himself this.
"So, goodbye then. I hope you can prepare thoroughly, and I can see what treasures you have."
At this moment, Chen Xue also said to Ye Tiancheng. However, Ye Tiancheng had not yet ignored her.
This woman was truly a disaster for him.
Fortunately, he hadn't been flirtatious with her back then, otherwise, that woman would have looked down on him, thinking he was desperate. He could lose anything, but never face. Because face is a banner, representing your ability in this world. With face, you can buy many profitable things. To put it plainly, others giving you face will also bring you endless benefits.
