At first, Bai Guanghai suspected Ling Tian was doing it on purpose, deliberately prescribing this medicine to torment Bai Haotian.
However, when he saw the things Bai Haotian vomited and excreted, which contained some green and black liquids emitting a strange smell, Bai Guanghai could only endure it. Da Feng Xiao Shuo Wang
“Boss Bai, the New Year is almost here, and everyone is very busy. Is there something you need?”
“Ling Tian, it’s like this, Boss Bai has an idea…” Wang Qing Tian, standing by, recounted Bai Guanghai’s idea.
It turned out that Bai Guanghai had approached Wang Qing Tian and proposed to exchange all of the Bai family’s shares in Bai Jin Home Appliances, which accounted for about fifty percent of Bai Jin Home Appliances’ shares, along with ten percent of Bai Jin Real Estate’s shares, for forty percent of Bing Tian Pharmaceutical’s shares.
This was a very significant opportunity. One had to know that although Bing Tian Pharmaceutical’s products were selling well and it had recovered its capital, its current market valuation was estimated at around 20 billion yuan, making forty percent of its shares worth 5 billion yuan.
Bai Jin Real Estate, on the other hand, had a market valuation of around 100 billion yuan, and a 10% stake would be worth 10 billion yuan.
Not to mention Bai Jin Home Appliances, which was currently valued at over 80 billion yuan, with a fifty percent stake worth 40 billion yuan.
In other words, the Bai family was willing to exchange assets valued at nearly 50 billion yuan at market prices for a forty percent stake in Bing Tian Pharmaceutical.
“Heh, very beautiful!” Ling Tian said out of the blue.
“Very beautiful, right?” Bai Guanghai said with a smile, thinking that Ling Tian was impressed by the terms he offered.
“I mean, you *think* it’s beautiful!”
Ling Tian suddenly said with a serious expression.
“Ling Tian, I came with sincerity. The price I’m offering, to put it bluntly, is enough to buy several Bing Tian Pharmaceuticals.”
Bai Guanghai was surprised by Ling Tian’s blunt refusal and his expression changed.
“Then go and buy them. There are plenty of pharmaceutical factories outside. Why are you fixated on our Bing Tian Pharmaceutical?
We don’t lack money now, nor do we need financing!
I believe other pharmaceutical companies would agree to your terms.” Ling Tian said indifferently.
“Ling Tian, do you have a prejudice against me? Then you underestimate me, Bai Guanghai. I, Bai Guanghai, am a businessman!
Although there are some conflicts between our families, you also saved my son. We can consider this matter settled.
In business, it’s about harmony bringing wealth, and a win-win situation is the true victory!”
Ling Tian suppressed his urge to laugh. The phrase “harmony bringing wealth” sounded so incongruous coming from Bai Guanghai’s mouth.
It was like a lion or a tiger telling a lamb, “Don’t be afraid, we don’t eat meat!”
“Boss Bai, isn’t it you who has the prejudice? We are both businessmen, and the purpose of doing business is to make money!
No one does business at a loss, and people will fight for profitable deals even if it means losing their heads.
The reason I disagree with your proposal is that I simply do not have a good outlook on Bai Jin Real Estate and Bai Jin Home Appliances!”
“Why is that?” Bai Guanghai asked, feigning ignorance.
“Let’s talk about Bai Jin Home Appliances first. The home appliance retail sector is already a sunset industry. Store rents have increased tenfold, yet the market is constantly being eroded by e-commerce.
Although this year Bai Jin Home Appliances has ranked second nationwide in terms of store numbers and sales, their profit is only tens of millions!
To put it bluntly, starting next year, they will face huge losses!”
“Little Ling, you can’t look at it that way. There are still many new emerging retail stores under construction, and traditional home appliance companies can also do e-commerce…”
“Don’t try to fool me with my youth. Traditional home appliance retailers already have such high cost pressures; they simply cannot compete with emerging e-commerce companies in e-commerce!
As for the new shopping centers you mentioned, that’s another topic. Real estate is also cooling down now.
In two or three years, the housing market might collapse even further. If I were to take over real estate projects now, I would have to worry constantly and invest a large amount of capital, with uncertain returns. What would I gain from that!”
Ling Tian spoke eloquently, analyzing the market environment faced by Bai Jin Real Estate and Bai Jin Home Appliances with great clarity.
Bai Guanghai almost gave him a thumbs-up. Ling Tian’s analysis was even more insightful and far-sighted than that of his own business elites.
“So, Boss Bai, I’m very sorry to have made you come all this way for nothing!”
“Ah, alright, let it be.
However, Ling Tian, President Wang, if your Bing Tian Pharmaceutical needs financing, or requires channels or partners, you can contact me. I will definitely show my utmost sincerity!”
“Okay, we will definitely think of you first,” Ling Tian said with a fake smile. Yet, to others, Ling Tian’s smile appeared incredibly sincere.
“That’s natural!” Bai Qing Tian also responded perfunctorily.
As Bai Guanghai was about to get up dejectedly, Ling Tian suddenly stopped him.
“Boss Bai, don’t leave yet. We actually have a business to discuss!”
“Oh? What kind of business are you referring to?” Bai Guanghai sat back down.
“I once said that you were seriously injured and would never be able to have children again…”
Bai Guanghai’s face immediately turned green. As the saying goes, don’t hit a man where it hurts; this was his biggest secret.
For a man to be unable to have offspring, regardless of the reason, was a deeply embarrassing matter.
“What do you mean?” Bai Guanghai’s tone was tinged with anger.
“I am not talented, but I know a little medicine. If you still have expectations for yourself, I suggest you let me give you a thorough examination. Perhaps, maybe, one day you will have another son or daughter!”
Ling Tian’s words completely stunned Bai Guanghai. This was truly hitting the nail on the head, striking directly at the part of him that held the greatest desire.
Because he could no longer procreate, he had placed all of the Bai family’s hopes on his son, Bai Haotian.
He had poured a tremendous amount of energy into Bai Haotian, wanting to cultivate him into an elite.
In some aspects, Bai Haotian was quite outstanding, but in other aspects, Bai Haotian had also developed an arrogant and conceited personality.
Initially, Bai Guanghai didn’t think much of this personality. After all, he was like that when he was young; youth without exuberance is not youth.
However, this time, Bai Haotian had implanted a蛊虫 (gu worm) in himself to become stronger, and then Ling Tian had dealt with him in such a manner. Bai Guanghai finally realized that this kind of personality would eventually lead to the downfall of the Bai family!
But, ingrained habits are hard to change. At Bai Haotian’s current age, it was already very difficult to alter his personality.
Yet, at this moment, Ling Tian told him that he might have another child. How could Bai Guanghai refuse such a temptation? Even if he knew it was bait with poison, he had to open his mouth and swallow it!
“Can you really cure my condition and allow me to have children again?”
“I only said there is hope. After all, I am a doctor, not a deity. Without a comprehensive examination of your body, I cannot make such a claim!”
