After hearing the old man's words, everyone looked at each other, and no one was willing to speak first.
The old man smiled and said, "Then, according to tradition, Yu Lin, you go first."
Wang Yu Lin nodded expressionlessly. She used to be the financial director of all enterprises under the Wang family, and she always spoke first in meetings, listing data.
Now that the family had split, Wang Yu Lin's family had also received several enterprises.
These enterprises were not in particularly good or bad condition; they were either barely surviving or operating at a small loss.
After listening to Wang Yu Lin's report, everyone was a little surprised, because under Wang Yu Lin's leadership, these enterprises had actually turned losses into profits.
Although the profit amount was not large, they had at least started making money.
Everyone was incredibly astonished that this eldest daughter of the Wang family, who was usually taciturn and spent her days dealing with numbers, actually possessed such capabilities!
"Very good, Yu Lin, you have done an excellent job. It seems that splitting the family indeed has its benefits. You have sacrificed too much for our Wang family in the past!"
"Father, you flatter me!" Wang Yu Lin replied calmly.
The second speaker was Wang Bing Xia, representing Wang Qing Tian's lineage.
Soon, Wang Bing Xia's report stunned everyone. The reorganized Bing Tian Pharmaceutical had launched two products just about 40 days ago, achieving a sales record of 3 billion yuan!
This meant that if nothing unexpected happened, their annual sales could even reach over 30 billion yuan!
Everyone present were seasoned veterans. They all knew how profitable cosmetics were. After deducting costs, the net profit for the year would be as high as 10 billion yuan!
Wang Qing Hai and the others felt a pang of envy.
At this moment, a sarcastic voice was heard.
"Tsk, the old man really favors Ling Tian, giving Bai Jin Pharmaceutical, such a cash cow, to Ling Tian."
The speaker was Wang Chun Feng's youngest daughter, Wang Yu Fei. She relied on being the youngest child in the family and always spoke without reservation.
After all, the elders in the family usually favored the youngest child.
Wang Qing Hai quickly chimed in, "Yu Fei is right. Bai Jin Pharmaceutical has infinite potential. Ling Tian has truly struck a great bargain...
If you ask me, Bai Jin Pharmaceutical should use its profits to subsidize the other industries of the Wang family..."
"Why!" Wang Qing Tian protested.
"We have all split up now and are living our own lives. Whether an enterprise operates well or makes money is a matter of individual capability!
What, now that we've made money, you want to redistribute the wealth?"
"Brother, don't get angry. What I'm saying is the truth.
With Bai Jin Pharmaceutical's profitability, why did we need to split the family in the first place?
This cash flow would be enough to support the other projects we've invested in."
Wang Yu Lin smiled, as if discussing an ordinary matter. In reality, she was indeed instigating conflict. The anger of the other members of the Wang family was subtly ignited, and their attention was directed towards Wang Qing Tian.
Just then, a chuckle suddenly echoed in the conference room. Everyone turned to look and realized that the one laughing was Ling Tian.
"What are you laughing at?" Wang Qing Hai asked, his tone displeased.
"Of course, I'm laughing at you all. Back then, you treated Bai Jin Pharmaceutical as nothing. It wasn't that the old man didn't ask for your opinions, but what was the result? You all refused it.
And my father-in-law, along with Bing Xia, we put in tremendous effort to make the pharmaceutical company profitable, and now you're envious, aren't you."
Ling Tian's words made several people present blush, as that was precisely what they were thinking and doing.
However, it was embarrassing to have it stated so openly.
"Ling Tian, although you saved the old man's life, the old man has already rewarded you!
To be honest, you shouldn't have taken the shares of Bai Jin Pharmaceutical, because what you contributed is not worth it!
Even though you are Bing Xia's fiancé, you are not yet married. Legally speaking, this money should not be yours!"
Seeing her second brother falter, Wang Yu Fei spoke up again. This woman was very clever; she directed her attack towards the legality of Ling Tian's acquisition of these assets.
As a result, her action angered Wang Bing Xia.
"Aunt, what you're saying is not right. To tell you the truth, Ling Tian has not taken advantage of our Wang family at all!
There is a significant reason why Bing Tian Pharmaceutical is profitable, and one of the reasons is the substantial capital investment!
And this capital was precisely brought by Ling Tian!"
Wang Bing Xia's words made everyone pause. They knew about the capital injection, but they were not clear about the details, nor did they know where the money came from.
"Where did he, a mere Daoist priest, get so much money?
In other words, even if he injected capital, how much could he inject?" Wang Qing Hai said dismissively.
Wang Bing Xia sneered, "At that time, Bai Jin Pharmaceutical's market value was less than 9 billion yuan. Ling Tian injected a full 5 billion yuan into the company!
Therefore, he holds a 50% stake in Bing Tian Pharmaceutical, and he truly hasn't taken advantage of our family!"
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped. 5 billion yuan in cash was an astonishing figure.
Even the tycoons on China's rich list probably couldn't produce such a sum of money without batting an eye.
"Impossible, where did he get so much money..." Wang Qing Hai muttered, unable to accept this reality.
"My master gave it to me!" Ling Tian replied with a smile.
At this moment, the old man spoke, "This is very normal. I have met Ling Tian's several masters. Those individuals are all extraordinary talents, reclusive masters.
If they want to make money, they have plenty of ways!"
With the old man's endorsement, no one could question where Ling Tian's money came from anymore.
Wang Bing Xia continued, "Another important reason why Bing Tian Pharmaceutical was able to turn losses into profits is the series of cosmetic products we launched.
These products are entirely pure traditional Chinese medicine formulations, and the formulas for both products were also provided by Ling Tian.
So, it is Bing Tian Pharmaceutical that has benefited, not Ling Tian!"
Everyone was speechless. What else could they do? The money was his, the formulas were his, so it was only right that he made such great profits.
Even if Bai Jin Pharmaceutical had fallen into their hands back then, it probably wouldn't have been revived. Without the injection of so much money and those miraculous prescriptions, they could have done nothing!
Next, it was Wang Qing Hai and the others' turn to report.
The meeting then turned into a session of lamentations.
As the year-end approached, Bai Jin Real Estate needed to spend a large sum of money to settle accounts with suppliers and pay wages to migrant workers.
And although Bai Jin Home Appliances had some profits, the profits were much less than last year!
