"What?"

Cao Jianguo exclaimed, "So the rumors are true. Sanqi Pharmaceutical Group really has a new owner, and this mysterious person who lavished 3 billion Chinese yuan is you?"

"good."

"Then how do you want to cooperate with me?" Cao Jianguo took a breath and felt cold sweat on his vest.

Horrible, so terrible.

And it's a huge investment, spending 3 billion. This is not scary. What's scary is that Xiao Jian prepared 100 billion Chinese yuan just to snipe Tang Xiaobao's Shenlong Group. Is it really that simple?

The Shenlong Group is at its peak, and it is not easy to defeat it, it is almost as difficult as climbing to the sky.

If we lose, that's 100 billion. Isn't that too much of a joke?

Just because of Chen Mengyao?

Just because of this woman?

Xiao Jian seemed to be able to read Cao Jianguo's mind. He only needed to glance at him to understand his thoughts. He smiled calmly and said, "You guessed it right. I am just willful and playful. Money is not important to me. Since I was twenty years old, I no longer regard making money as the goal of life. Conquest and creation are the real value of my life. Don't you think that defeating the Shenlong Group is an interesting goal in itself and worth 100 billion?"

Cao Jianguo smiled bitterly and was speechless.

"I think it's worth it." Xiao Jian continued, "Let's get back to the question. I want the formulas for several new drugs from Shenlong Group. I already have a complete research team. Aren't you planning to build a laboratory? I'll provide 100 million yuan for experiments. Later, this research team can enjoy 1 billion Chinese yuan in research and development funds each year. Once the new drug experiments are successful, the formulas will become our joint property. In other words, you can get up to 20% of the shares of Sanqi Group."

Twenty percent of the equity, with a market value of one billion Chinese yuan.

This is also a considerable income for the Cao family.

But this is not the point. If the Sanqi Group has a new formula and develops a new cancer drug, it can break the monopoly of the Shenlong Group. Relying on the Sanqi Group's many years of industry influence, it can easily re-establish its dominance in the industry. By then, the annual profit will be at least tens of billions. That means that every year, the Cao Group can get huge dividends from the Sanqi Group.

Cao Jianguo was somewhat tempted.

But he wouldn't agree so easily.

First of all, he didn't want to fall out with Tang Xiaobao too early. If he really took this step, if he lost in the future, he would definitely be tied to Xiao Jian and would fight to the death with Tang Xiaobao, which would be tantamount to betting the future of the family.

Secondly, even if there are many benefits, is this formula real?

Finally, even if the formula is true, how credible is what Xiao Jian said?

Did he really spend hundreds of billions?

What if he was just fooling me, taking the formula and then abandoning me?

Xiao Jian had just returned from Yanjing and had a close relationship with the Xu family. If they really fell out, and if the Xu family also stood up to help the other side, how could the Cao Group gain any advantage?

Cao Jianguo did not answer for a moment, but the expression on his face kept changing. It was obvious that he was struggling and conflicted inside.

Xiao Jian didn't rush, but just continued to make tea with a smile.

After a while, Xiao Jian poured tea for Cao Jianguo and did not disturb him. He picked up the cup and took a sip, looking intoxicated.

After a moment, Cao Jianguo's brow finally relaxed.

He looked at Xiao Jian and smiled calmly: "It sounds very tempting."

"Of course, I usually don't like bargaining when negotiating with people. Instead of wasting energy on this, it's better to give enough benefits at once. Therefore, very few people can refuse me. For example, today, I am very confident." Xiao Jian said with a smile.

Cao Jianguo said, "But today, I really have to reject you."

"No, you're not rejecting me." Xiao Jian said confidently, "You just want to see more of my cards, right?"

Cao Jianguo did not answer, but obviously agreed.

"It doesn't matter." Xiao Jian said, "I believe you will contact me in three days. Of course, if you really reject me, I promise not to contact you again. Opportunities are rare for everyone. Whether you can seize them depends on how you choose. I believe Mr. Cao is a smart man."

Xiao Jian was still extremely confident, and his tone was domineering and unquestionable.

…

Meng Gensheng had just been in the company for a week when he left quietly.

With Shen Hua's full support, Meng Gensheng set out with a team of nearly 60 people, taking almost half of the people in the marketing department.

Nearly twenty groups, consisting of three people in a group, went to various parts of the country to conduct research.

What Tang Xiaobao meant was that they should first conduct a preliminary survey of some areas based on the order situation in the last three months, but Meng Gensheng did not do so because he needed higher efficiency.

So he divided the domestic market into five major regions. He led the team to inspect the key areas, while the rest of the people went to more remote areas.

To this end, Meng Gensheng formed a research group and explained the discipline in advance. This was a secret operation, investigation, and evidence collection. No one was allowed to disclose the whereabouts and mission content. Every night, a video conference would be held to summarize and report on the day's work progress.

He plans to spend a week to complete the research work.

Then a summary analysis will be conducted and the second step will be carried out, which is to set up offices in some key cities. According to his idea, there is naturally no need to set up offices in every city, as that would be a waste of human resources. Similarly, the national market can be divided into several regions and regional offices can be set up.

In the future, such offices will not only be able to better regulate the market, but will also be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort if they really need to set up their own channels.

Meng Gensheng was full of energy and ready to do a great job.

On the third day after he left, a piece of news caused an uproar in the domestic business circle.

The news content all revolved around Xiao Jian, first a financial magazine, then several major portals, and finally many domestic TV stations followed suit in the report.

"Wall Street's legendary trader returns!"

"He's a Chinese-American hybrid, and he's also their teacher!"

"Xiao Jian, what does this name mean?"

"This world's top five business empire actually originated from his handiwork!"

"It turns out he was the one behind the Midas Touch."

All the well-known domestic TV channels are frantically flooding the screens with the news.

Similarly, websites of all sizes also began to follow suit.

"On the Three Musketeers under Xiao Jian!"

"The Capital Master has entered China, intending to stir up a bloody storm!"

"According to insiders, Xiao Jian wants to restore the former glory of China!"

"Xiao Jian personally admitted that he would invest 100 billion Chinese Yuan to create a new era of business empire!"

"Sanqi Pharmaceutical Group has been acquired by Zhengba Group with a 60% stake!"

"The CEO of Zhengba Group is actually Xiao Jian!"
