Lu Fan nodded with satisfaction as everyone agreed.
Although these people were insignificant in his eyes, like grasshoppers, they were all influential figures in Jiangnan. It would be a good choice to bring them under his wing.
After everyone left, Lu Fan turned to Manager Chen, "Is the private room booked?"
"It's booked, at the Phoenix Pavilion," Manager Chen quickly nodded. "Since Mr. Lu is personally hosting, I naturally handled it with utmost care."
Lu Fan nodded with satisfaction. "I trust your work. It won't be long before Taikang Pharmaceuticals enters the medicinal materials industry and becomes a leader."
"I am also full of fighting spirit!" Manager Chen nodded eagerly.
At the corporate level of Taikang Pharmaceuticals, many people were discussing.
"I heard that the Spirit Liquid's release attracted quite a few investors, some of whom are big names from other regions."
"I heard that too, I heard that too. The sales of the Spirit Liquid are extremely popular. It's likely that Taikang Pharmaceuticals will go public soon."
As these conversations progressed, the eyes of everyone were filled with anticipation. They had been with Taikang Pharmaceuticals for so many years, and now that it was rising so easily, it felt like a homecoming for them.
In the sales department, Lin Ke was organizing documents when Xiao Qi walked over. "Our company's chairman is truly amazing, to be able to develop such a miraculous medicinal material as the Spirit Liquid. It's likely that Taikang Pharmaceuticals will become the leading figure in Jiangnan before long."
"This is a good thing!" Lin Ke said with a smile while organizing documents. "This way, we'll have room for advancement."
"I also heard that the chairman is hosting a banquet for all the big shots at the Phoenix Pavilion," Xiao Qi said with a smile. "I heard that the chairman is handsome and dashing, and around our age. Why don't we go to the Phoenix Pavilion tonight too, and try our luck? Perhaps we might even run into the chairman."
"I don't think that's a good idea!" Lin Ke shook her head. "I still have many documents to review, I'm afraid I won't have the time."
Xiao Qi looked helpless. "Since you became the team leader, you've become a workaholic. But it's true, you became a team leader not long after starting work, unlike me!"
"Look at what you're saying!" Lin Ke rolled her eyes. "It's just that everyone has their own aspirations."
In the Yang Corporation's office, Yang Jiaqi rushed to Yang Ding Tian's office after receiving the news. "I just received news, and I don't know why, but Lord Lu is hosting a banquet for all the big shots at the Phoenix Pavilion!"
"Lord Lu is hosting a banquet for all the big shots?" Yang Ding Tian asked in surprise. "What is this for?"
"I'm not entirely sure of the specifics, but there will be no shortage of influential people at tonight's banquet," Yang Jiaqi said repeatedly. "As long as we can meet Lord Lu, the Yang family might still have a sliver of hope."
"We cannot be too rash!" Yang Ding Tian waved his hand. "If we go now, it will only annoy Lord Lu. As long as we can remain patient, there will still be opportunities."
"Grandfather, why is that!" Yang Jiaqi asked, confused. "As long as Lord Lu says the word, the Yang family can be completely revitalized!"
"Alright, there's no need to say more!" Yang Ding Tian waved his hand. "I have my own plans for this matter."
Seeing Yang Ding Tian's stubbornness, Yang Jiaqi looked helpless and extremely dissatisfied. After all, in her eyes, that Lord Lu was the last lifeline of their Yang family.
As night fell, Lu Fan arrived at the Phoenix Pavilion, accompanied by Manager Chen.
Many of the big shots had already arrived in the private room. Upon seeing Lu Fan's arrival, they quickly stood up, not daring to delay in the slightest. "Lord Lu, please come this way."
"I have no other intentions in coming here today, I just want to ask all of you if you are willing to cooperate with Taikang?" Lu Fan sat down. "If you are willing, you will have to follow my instructions from now on. If you are not willing, you may leave today."
"It is my honor to be dispatched by Lord Lu," Fatty Chen said first. "Lord Lu, rest assured, I have no objections whatsoever!"
"We are also greatly honored!"
The others eagerly stood up, not daring to delay. They could clearly see that if they were even a step behind, it might leave a bad impression, which was what they feared most.
"Since you all say so, I won't say much more," Lu Fan nodded. "From now on, I will be involved in all of your respective industries!"
"This..."
The brows of many big shots creased slightly. They had not expected Lu Fan to be so direct. Su Dan Novel Network
Han Yunhai also walked in from outside, standing beside Lu Fan, appearing quite obsequious.
"What, you are unwilling?" Lu Fan slowly took a sip of tea. "I just said, those who are unwilling can leave!"
"It is our honor to become subordinates of Lord Lu," Old Master Zhao cupped his fists.
Lu Fan nodded. "Your financial resources are too scattered, and you are powerless in everything you do. By bringing you together, I am uniting you as one. Then you will grow stronger and stronger."
The big shots also nodded one after another, not daring to show any disrespect. No matter what Lu Fan said, they would listen. In the face of absolute strength, any financial resources were insignificant.
"I propose that Lord Lu be made the chairman, the chairman of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce," Fatty Chen suggested. "This way, we can unite as one and gradually expand."
"I agree!" Boss Chu nodded. "With a chairman leading us, we will surely prosper in the future!"
"You are quite clever!" Lu Fan nodded, and then said with a wry smile, "From now on, no matter what trouble you encounter, I will step in to resolve it. This is my promise to you. However, since I am becoming your chairman, all the consortiums must be under my control!"
"There is certainly no problem with that!" Old Master Zhao quickly said. "As long as Mr. Lu is willing."
The others also nodded, showing considerable trust in Lu Fan.
After the banquet ended and everyone left, Han Yunhai came to Lu Fan's side. "Mr. Lu, the matter of the Ghost Gate has been investigated!"
"Who was responsible for the death at Bailong Town?"
Lu Fan asked directly, "How did the Ghost Gate's forces form?"
"His name is Shen Bihai, the senior disciple of Yang Bei Tian, a hall master of the Ghost Gate, possessing a realm of half-step Grandmaster!" Han Yunhai stated directly. "As for other information about the Ghost Gate, the investigation is ongoing, but..."
"But what?" Lu Fan asked in surprise. "Please speak freely!"
"But I just received news that the Ghost Gate has hired assassins with a large sum of money, aiming for Mr. Lu's head!" Han Yunhai said, avoiding eye contact.
"Tsk tsk..." Lu Fan sneered. "The Ghost Gate has quite some ambition, wanting my head. Is that assassin a Grandmaster realm expert?"
"Once one enters the Grandmaster realm, they transform like a dragon. Even a powerful entity like the Ghost Gate may not have experts in the Grandmaster realm!" Han Yunhai chuckled. "That assassin is likely not in the Grandmaster realm!"
