“Young man, perhaps you really shouldn’t have thrown away that business card.”
An Guangyu said suddenly, with a hint of dejection.
“Professor An, what do you mean by that? Are you willing to see your company fall into the hands of the Japanese?”
“Mr. Ling Tian, the fact that you can buy my company is an acknowledgment of me, and I am very grateful.
However, I must tell you that my company’s situation is far worse than you see!”
“I’m eager to hear the details.” Ling Tian said very seriously.
“At first, I designed a very brilliant blueprint for the company, but when I actually started to push this project, I realized it wasn’t as simple as I imagined.
The extinction of many precious medicinal materials is not only due to over-harvesting, but rather because these drugs themselves have very strict requirements for the natural environment.
We invested a lot of capital, manpower, and material resources, but the survival rate of seedlings for some rare and valuable endangered medicinal materials is very low, and it simply cannot meet the requirements for mass production…
In fact, there is still a long way to go for the company to be profitable, and it requires a large amount of investment, which may not bring you any profit in the short term…”
Ling Tian was very surprised by An Guangyu’s honesty. He did not expect this person to reveal the company’s affairs.
Although Ling Tian had already acquired the company’s shares, it was not impossible for Ling Tian to refuse to pay the amount and complete the auction on the grounds of incomplete information.
“Mr. Ling Tian, this is the reality. I suggest you think it over carefully.”
“No need to consider it, I know what I’m doing!
I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Ling Tian.”
“I know, you introduced yourself just now.”
“Professor An, actually, I have another identity. I am an independent director of Bing Tian Pharmaceutical and the largest shareholder of Bing Tian Pharmaceutical.
Therefore, you don’t need to worry about the company’s investment issues at all. With Bing Tian Pharmaceutical backing us, R&D funds are not a problem.
As long as you deliver results, I will turn them into money!”
Hearing Ling Tian’s words, An Guangyu found it hard to believe. He felt as if he had been struck by a pie from the sky.
How could he not know Bing Tian Pharmaceutical? This pharmaceutical company that suddenly appeared out of nowhere had almost disrupted the entire domestic high-end cosmetics market.
Their daily profit was probably enough to buy several Xianyao Technology companies.
“Furthermore, I have another identity. I am a major shareholder and independent director of Shen Nong Agricultural Science.
We have a large demand for Chinese medicinal materials every year, and our demand for high-quality Chinese medicinal material seedlings is also very large.
Most importantly, we also have our own research institutions and experimental fields, with strong R&D capabilities!
You can provide me with seeds and seedlings, and I have a way to help you cultivate healthier and more vigorous seedlings!”
Ling Tian’s words were like a shot of adrenaline, injected into Professor An’s heart.
The two chatted for a while longer and felt that their ideas were very compatible. Both of them were very happy.
The auction house was very professional and even provided professional lawyers. The two parties immediately signed the equity transfer agreement.
Ling Tian was still accustomed to being a hands-off manager. He directly called Wang Bingxia and asked her to send someone to liapple with Professor An Guangyu. Ling Tian then entered Hall No. 6 to continue participating in the auction.
Soon, it was time for the private jet auction. To Ling Tian’s surprise, there were more than a dozen private jets up for auction.
These were all planes that wealthy individuals had to sell due to financial difficulties or bankruptcy.
Precisely because there were too many planes to choose from, Ling Tian managed to acquire a Gulfstream G550 private jet at a very fair price.
This plane, which had only been in service for two years, had brand-new interiors, and its owner had barely used it a few times.
The auction house’s after-sales service was excellent. They even helped contact an airline for the plane’s parking, maintenance, and even crew. The airline had dedicated personnel to handle everything, making it extremely convenient.
Wherever Ling Tian wanted to go, he just needed to call his dedicated flight secretary two hours in advance. They would then contact the airline, refuel the plane, have the crew in place, and apply for flight routes.
After buying the plane, Ling Tian thanked Gu Jiafu. Gu Jiafu had company matters to attend to, so he left first. Ling Tian continued to browse the auction alone.
He went up to the second floor of the auction house, where, in the largest hall, the auction of various jewelry and luxury goods began.
In this auction hall, there were hundreds of guests, all top wealthy individuals from home and abroad.
The level of this auction was extremely high, so high that all the people displaying the goods were well-known male and female movie stars from the country.
Among these stars, Ling Tian also saw Han Yueyue. Today, Han Yueyue was wearing a pink ruby the size of an egg on her chest.
The dazzling gem and the beautiful and radiant Han Yueyue complemented each other, earning praise from the attendees below.
After a while, the host walked forward.
“The next item for auction is the Golden Armor, a masterpiece created through the combined efforts of internationally renowned jewelry masters Simon, Seck, and Arishi, which took five years to complete.
The masters consulted a vast amount of literature and perfectly recreated European armor from hundreds of years ago to create this set of golden armor!
This set of armor uses nearly thirty kilograms of gold and several priceless gems…”
Although Ling Tian didn’t understand what art was, looking at this set of armor, he understood that the armor exuded the words: valuable!
Especially the matching golden sword, the blade was an alloy of gold and silver, and the hilt was inlaid with gems and diamonds.
This set of golden armor had a starting bid of five hundred million, with two-thirds of its value attributed to the golden sword.
At this moment, the model displaying this set of armor was none other than Wu Kun, who had a grudge against Ling Tian.
Although this guy was annoying, Ling Tian had to admit that Wu Kun really had a good appearance!
Wearing this luxurious and extravagant armor, he truly looked majestic, and many women present screamed with excitement.
Next, Wu Kun, wearing the armor, paraded around the auction hall.
Wu Kun was extremely smug. It was not easy for him to get this opportunity. Everyone seated below was a billionaire. If he could hook up with some rich woman or a princess from a wealthy family during this opportunity, he could save decades of hard work.
Suddenly, Wu Kun lowered his head and saw Ling Tian sitting among the guests.
As the saying goes, when enemies meet, their eyes burn with hatred. The animosity between these two was naked. Wu Kun had also heard that Ling Tian had a great deal to do with his departure from his previous company!
