Chapter 1318

In the conference room…

All the shareholders from the Renyi Group were seated around the conference table.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Fang Qiu, who had just entered the room.

“The stark reality?”

Yang Ningyuan and Li Qihua had just rushed over. They exchanged confused glances.

Near him…

He Xue was also very curious.

What was this stark reality that Fang Qiu had mentioned?

However, Zhao Shanlin, Zhu Benzheng, and the other two people didn’t seem curious about Fang Qiu’s words. Instead, they took what he said for granted.

The four of them mistakenly thought the stark reality mentioned by Fang Qiu was the chaos of the current Chinese Medicine market!

But Fang Qiu’s following sentence made them frown as well.

“It’s not about the case of counterfeit drugs or the Chinese Medicine market. Instead, I want you to know the stark reality that we’re all being pushed to the edge of a cliff!”

Fang Qiu’s gloomy voice was heard.

Everyone in the meeting room was shocked.

No one knew what was going on.

What did Fang Qiu mean by this?

Although everyone present hadn’t been in frequent contact with Fang Qiu, they knew Fang Qiu very well. Nevertheless, they had never seen Fang Qiu being so serious and gloomy.

Fang Qiu’s face darkened.

He was telling everyone they were in serious trouble!

“Fang Qiu, hasn’t the Foundation’s matter been temporarily settled? The police have already issued a notice that the Foundation was not involved in any way, right?”

Zhao Shanlin asked.

“Sure”

Fang Qiu nodded and said, “We can put aside the matter of the Foundation for the time being. It is just a trivial problem compared to what I’m going to say.”

“A small matter?”

All the others were shocked.

How could the crisis of the Foundation not be a big deal? Then, what big issue would Fang Qiu talk about?

They exchanged glances.

Everyone became very serious.

“The previous matter was directed at the Renyi Group and me from the beginning!”

Fang Qiu took a deep breath, looked at everyone, and said, “The truth of the matter has been revealed. These Chinese Medicine merchants in the current market united and elaborately planned the plot against the Foundation.”

The news came as a surprise…

In the conference room, the faces of the group changed in shock.

“Do you mean all the Chinese Medicine merchants in the market?”

Li Qihua asked, frowning.

“That’s right.”

Fang Qiu nodded with certainty and said, “I’ve got all the evidence. First, they found a widely known intermediary who engaged in all sorts of illicit trading in Yang Cheng. This man’s name was Li Guangsheng. These united pharmaceutical merchants provided him with a large outlay and benefits. Then Li Guangsheng came forward and found a few doctors and asked them to sell shoddy medicinal herbs. To ensure that their tracks would be covered, these medicine merchants transferred the funds from these illicit activities for Li Guangsheng to Chen Peilun’s bank card. Then, Chen Peilun, a pharmacy owner, would hand over the money to Li Guangsheng.”

“I’ve checked all the facts myself. Li Guangsheng was about to escape abroad but was intercepted at the airport. Chen Peilun also went to the police station to turn himself and I accompanied him!”

When everyone in the conference room heard this…

Their faces turned ghastly.

“Why would they do that?”

Zhao Shanlin asked in confusion.

“The Foundation is not their ultimate target. But by using it, they could attack you and eventually our Renyi Group?”

Yang Ningyuan asked and his frown deepened.

“You’re right.”

Fang Qiu nodded and said, “A few days ago, they sent a negotiator to talk to me. I had never figured out the real purpose of their attack against the Foundation. After I met the negotiator, I finally learned about their ultimate goal. They had no intention of overthrowing the Foundation. Instead, they’ve been coveting our cultivation technique for the Desert Cistanche, Snow Lotus, and Dendrobe!

“What?”

All the people present were instantly shocked.

“For our cultivation technique?”

He Xue’s face instantly darkened as she said, “These people are bold and highly ambitious. How could they set their greedy eyes on our cultivation technique?”

“We can’t give it to them.”

Zhao Shanlin shook his head and said, “No matter what, our cultivation technique is unique. We all know everything we have earned today is through it. They are trying to sap the roots of our group!”

At this moment…

They finally understood how serious this matter was.

No one had expected this.

...

How could those pharmaceutical companies be so delusional?

“The negotiator came and threatened me with the medicine prices. If I refuse to give them the cultivation technology, they would stop supplying all the Chinese Medicine drugs to our Foundation. In addition, they would raise all the prices of Chinese medicinal herbs. As a result, we would have no medicine for our patients, who were too poor to buy their medicinal herbs at higher prices!”

Fang Qiu’s eyes narrowed as he said this gloomily.

“What’s your decision?”

He Xue immediately asked.

“I refused.”

Fang Qiu added, “I’ve released a new subsidy policy for the Foundation. No consultation fees will be charged, and the Foundation will compensate doctors for their losses!”

“Mm.”

He Xue nodded knowingly.

When the others heard this, they nodded in agreement.

Indeed…

...

It seemed to be the best solution they could think of.

“Before this meeting, I met the second negotiator they sent.”

Fang Qiu said, “Compared with the threat last time, they seem to have come up with new tactics. They offered one billion to buy our cultivation technology, but I rejected them again.”

“Is the negotiator the man I saw just now?”

He Xue asked, cocking her eyebrows.

Now, she finally understood why Fang Qiu’s expression looked so strange when he saw that person.

“Yes.”

Fang Qiu nodded.

“I shouldn’t have brought him in.”

He Xue shook her head as she spoke.

“It isn’t your problem. Even if you didn’t bring this person in, they would find other ways to negotiate with me.”

Fang Qiu soothed her.

Aside…

The others could no longer conceal the shock in their hearts.

“May I confirm it? A group of Chinese Medicine companies has been trying to grind us down. Are there only a few companies or all of them?”

Li Qihua asked.

“There are more than 80% of the Chinese Medicine companies that have earned themselves a reputation. Only those unknown small companies didn’t join them.”

Fang Qiu said.

“So many?”

Zhu Benzheng exclaimed in surprise.

Before this, everyone thought their rivals were just the 30 Chinese Medicine merchants that cooperated with the Foundation. But it turned out that there were many more opponents in addition to them.

They were under the siege of the entire Chinese Medicine industry!

The more they thought about it, the more stunned they became.

“Damn it. They must be green with envy, right?”

Zhou Xiaotian stormed, “They all rise against us when we have found a different way to make a buck. How could they come up with so many insidious and caustic tricks? ”

“These people are seized with crazy ideas.”

Sun Hao also denounced indignantly, “They’d better hope I don’t find any chance to deal with them. I’ll crack them down at any opportunity!”

“It seems they still don’t know the relationship between Fang Qiu and the Renyi Group. They wouldn’t have dared to do this if they had known it.”

Zhu Benzheng said.

“You’re wrong.”

Yang Ningyuan said, shaking his head, “Once they know Fang Qiu is the Renyi Group’s chairman, they will do something even more insane!”

After such a statement…

Fang Qiu, Li Qihua, and He Xue nodded in succession.

“Our Renyi Group is the largest company on the market. They don’t dare to offend us only because they don’t know who the Renyi Group’s chairman is. They are afraid of displeasing anyone they shouldn’t and can’t provoke. They might even suspect that the Renyi Group belongs to the country, so they daren’t do anything to the Renyi Group. Then, they could only try to find out why the Renyi Group could outshine others. At last, they dug out information about our cultivation technology.”

Yang Ningyuan analyzed the situation. “If they discover Fang Qiu is the Renyi Group’s chairman, they will go even further and make a desperate move. Therefore, we should keep it a secret. At least, they know that Li Qihua and I are managing the group. We have some prestige and power in the business circle, but we still work under the chairman. Think about it. How can anyone have the guts to go against such a mysterious and powerful leader?”

“It’s exactly what I’m thinking.”

Fang Qiu nodded approvingly.

“Let’s talk about this.”

Yang Ningyuan changed the subject. “Now, we’re in the open while our opponents are undercover. They can do everything possible to deal with us, but we can’t expose the evidence of their crimes in our hands. After all, this matter involves too many things and people. Once we produce the evidence, this issue will become a major public scandal and exert a devastating impact on society. The stock market will be severely affected, not to mention the Chinese Medicine industry. The local authorities won’t allow their evidence of crimes to be released.”

Everyone heard his words.

Their faces darkened.

Zhu Benzheng and the other two felt even more aggrieved. Their eyes turned red with anger, but they didn’t know what to do.

“They’ve sent over two negotiators in a row. These pharmaceutical companies seem to be determined to get our cultivation technique. The first time, they failed to intimidate us. The second time, what they offered didn’t work. This time, I guess they may soon use unscrupulous means.”

Yang Ningyuan said with a worried frown.

The others also looked solemn.

The most unfortunate thing was that they didn’t know what dirty tricks the other party would use. Even if they wanted to defend themselves, they didn’t know where to start.

For a moment, everyone began racking their brains for a solution.

“Let’s take corresponding measures as the situation calls for!”

Seeing how the others were so worried, Fang Qiu broke into a smile.

“Do you have a good solution?”

He Xue asked hastily.

“I shared the information with you because I need your help.”

A mysterious smile flickered across Fang Qiu’s face. After turning the second negotiator out of the door, he suddenly had an idea.

In the past, after taking into account the social stability and the current hard-won situation of Chinese medicine, he couldn’t bring himself to ruin everything.

As a result, his opponents thought he was at their mercy.

Fang Qiu admitted that he didn’t dare to wreck the overall situation, but it was the same with his rivals, wasn’t it?

It was hard to say which side was more likely to bow down before threats!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He wanted to have some fun with these people without damaging the overall situation.

He would crack down on these profiteers!

The bad guys should get their just deserts!

The world needed justice!

Righteousness is doing what is right!

Then, he said, “Next, all of us should pay more attention to their movements. Meanwhile, Brother Yang and Brother Li, please keep an eye out for their dirty tricks. If they start doing anything evil, I’ll make them sorry. But I will make them suffer even if they do not make any moves!”

“Hey.”

Hearing this, Yang Ningyuan frowned slightly and asked, “You want to do it in a big way regardless of the consequences?”

“No.”

Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “I’m going to give them a nightmare! I’ll make sure they can never wake up from it!”

“A nightmare?”

Li Qihua paused and asked with a smile, “I’m quite curious about it. What are you going to do?”

“They’re convinced I couldn’t bear to jeopardize our overall interest. Yes, they’re right. I can suppress my indignation and swallow the insults.”

Speaking of this, Fang Qiu sneered. “Because I have to consider the overall interest, I can’t punish them on a grand scale. But, I can crush them one by one!”
