"Li Tao is my only grandson!"
Old Li took a deep breath and said, "When Li Tao was very young, his parents died in a car accident, leaving us, grandfather and grandson, to depend on each other. This kid's heart isn't bad, he's just too fond of causing trouble!"
"He has no real ability, yet he dreams of starting a company and making a fortune every day. In the end, he didn't earn a cent, but instead accumulated a mountain of debt. He's disappointed me greatly, and I don't want to deal with him anymore; let him fend for himself!"
Old Li's face was filled with the expression of someone who is disappointed by their protégé.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi's gaze fell on Li Tao, and he asked, "You owe fifty million, don't you?"
"Mm!"
Li Tao nodded and said, "I was supposed to make a fortune this time, but I didn't expect a financial crisis to hit the Eagle Country, and my company was affected, causing me heavy losses, forcing the company to close down."
"I'll pay back this fifty million for you!"
Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
Upon hearing this, Li Tao's face was filled with surprise.
"Young master, thank you so much! You are truly my benefactor. Don't worry, when I make it big in the future, I will definitely repay you!"
Li Tao kept thanking Jiang Yi.
Old Li, upon hearing that Jiang Yi was going to help Li Tao pay back the money, quickly said, "Young master, this absolutely won't do."
"It's nothing, just fifty million!"
Jiang Yi looked at Old Li and said, "Thank you for managing the castle and the estate all these years. If it weren't for you, how could the estate have earned so much money? Consider this fifty million a token of my appreciation, but I know this amount is far from enough to repay your great kindness."
"This is all my duty," Old Li said quickly.
"Alright, this matter is decided. The fifty million that Li Tao owes, I will repay it," Jiang Yi said.
Seeing this, Old Li had no choice but to accept.
"Don't you like doing business? How about this, I'll fund the establishment of a medicinal materials processing company in the Eagle Country, and you can be the general manager. I'll give you a portion of the shares, what do you say? Are you willing to do it?" Jiang Yi asked Li Tao.
Li Tao was so excited that he couldn't speak when he heard this!
After a long while, Li Tao finally recovered.
"I am willing!"
Li Tao said quickly.
"Young master, no, Li Tao has no ability to run a company. If you let him manage it, won't you just be throwing money away?" Old Li quickly intervened.
"It's fine, I'm just letting Li Tao help manage the company. All the company's decisions will be in my hands, so there won't be any problems," Jiang Yi replied.
Jiang Yi knew that Old Li was acting in his best interest.
In fact, Jiang Yi also wanted to take this opportunity to help Li Tao. Old Li had contributed so much to the Jiang family that he had to help Li Tao no matter what.
Moreover, Jiang Yi opening a medicinal materials processing plant in the Eagle Country had another purpose: to conveniently supply Tiansheng Group with refined medicinal materials.
Even if he were an idiot, he wouldn't be able to bankrupt the company.
"I will not agree to this. I cannot watch you throw money away in vain!" Old Li said.
Old Li's attitude was firm.
"Grandpa, this is my only chance to realize my ambitions. Please agree!" Li Tao pleaded with Old Li.
"I won't agree, and that's final. Your words are useless. Don't I know how capable you are? If I let you manage the company, young master will surely lose a lot of money. I cannot let young master waste money and effort for your sake," Old Li said with a snort.
Li Tao's face was filled with helplessness.
"Young master, I won't stop you from starting a company, but you cannot let Li Tao manage it for you," Old Li said to Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi took a deep breath.
Since Old Li's attitude was so resolute, there was nothing he could do.
The company had to be established; as for Li Tao, he couldn't control that.
"Young master, young madam, I will go and tidy up your rooms. From now on, you will stay in the castle. This is your castle, and you should live here!"
After Old Li finished speaking, he led the servants to the second floor to clean the rooms.
Li Tao's face was filled with helplessness.
"Young master Jiang, wait for me. I will definitely find a way to persuade my grandfather. You have given me such a great opportunity, and I don't want to miss it," Li Tao said.
"Alright, I'll wait for you!"
Jiang Yi said, "Don't call me young master Jiang anymore, just call me Mr. Jiang. It feels strange when you address me like that."
"Mm!" Su Dan Novel Network
Li Tao responded, then strode upstairs, intending to persuade Old Li.
After Li Tao went upstairs, Dongfang Mei couldn't help but laugh and said to Jiang Yi, "Do you really plan to use Li Tao? I think Old Li is right; this fellow probably doesn't have much ability."
"Letting him manage your company will definitely cause your company to lose a lot of money. In my opinion, it's best to drop this idea. If you really want to start a company, why not call Chen Kun to the Eagle Country? Chen Kun is much more reliable than Li Tao!"
"Li Tao might not have great abilities, but he is familiar with the business world in the Eagle Country, so he should be able to help quite a bit. As for asking Chen Kun to come to the Eagle Country for help, you and I thought of the same thing!" Jiang Yi said with a smile.
"Then quickly call Chen Kun. You have quite a few things to handle now; not only do you need to start a company, but you also need to cultivate medicinal herbs," Dongfang Mei said.
Jiang Yi nodded and took out his phone.
Soon, the call was connected.
Jiang Yi explained the situation to Chen Kun.
He expected Chen Kun to hesitate, but to Jiang Yi's surprise, Chen Kun agreed immediately after he finished speaking.
Chen Kun said that he would fly to the Eagle Country the next morning.
Afterward, Jiang Yi made another call to Li Ping, informing her about the castle and the estate.
Furthermore, Jiang Yi also told Li Ping about starting the company and cultivating medicinal herbs.
Li Ping had no objections and was very supportive of Jiang Yi.
After making the calls, Jiang Yi put away his phone.
"Chen Kun, that kid agreed as soon as I asked!" Jiang Yi said.
"There's nothing strange about that!"
Dongfang Mei said with a smile, "Chen Kun followed you from Jiang Province all the way to the capital, wanting to achieve something. For him, the Eagle Country is a vast world."
"He probably guessed that you asked him to come to the Eagle Country because you want him to start a company and cultivate medicinal herbs there. If I were Chen Kun, I would also be eager to come to the Eagle Country to find you."
Jiang Yi smiled slightly; Dongfang Mei's words made a lot of sense.
It wasn't strange that Chen Kun wanted to come to the Eagle Country.
"By the way, when do you plan to return? We've been in the Eagle Country for two days, but we haven't caught Bo Ren, nor have we eliminated Wanhui Company, and there's still Ye Yanran, who is watching us covetously," Dongfang Mei said.
"I must finish dealing with things before I can leave the Eagle Country."
Jiang Yi looked at Dongfang Mei and said, "Your company has a lot of business. Jiang Xiaomei and Third Uncle probably can't handle it alone. Since you have nothing to do here, why don't you go back first!"
