In the eting room of Zhang Bin’s Villa, Zhang Bin, Su Man, Xiao Fang, and the recently arrived Liu Ruolan were holding a eting.
They had originally wanted to bring Father Zhang to the eting, but he refused. He was a simple, unrefined man who only concerned himself with growing winter lons. Sales and profit maximization weren’t his strong suits, so he chose not to participate.
Besides, he could tell that Su Man likely had an unusual relationship with Zhang Bin. Since that made them practically family, it was only natural for Zhang Bin to manage and coordinate things.
He wasn’t a fool. He knew perfectly well that the winter lons he cultivated had beco a precious dicinal ingredient only because of the Spiritual Water. Otherwise, they would have been nothing special, and he’d have been lucky to get a few cents per jin for them.
"The Su Family has a total of eighteen hotels, located in major cities across the country..." Su Man began to explain.
Her father, Su Bingwen, had founded the Qingshan Hotel Group, which was valued at over 2 billion yuan. However, as Su Man was his only daughter and he was now 65 years old, Su Bingwen had stepped back from managent, leaving his daughter to run things. That was why she had the authority to represent her father in a collaboration with the Wenwu Group.
"If we sell the breast-enhancing food exclusively through the hotels, we won’t be able to sell it abroad," Xiao Fang pointed out. "Besides, managing sales across so many hotels will be difficult, and security will be a serious concern."
"It’s not impossible to sell abroad; we would just have to establish hotels overseas," Su Man countered. "Furthermore, foreigners could co to China for the treatnt, which would boost our national GDP. Managent and security are solvable problems, but the profits and reputation this would bring to our hotels are imasurable."
Xiao Fang fell silent.
Zhang Bin turned to Liu Ruolan. "Sister Lan, what are your thoughts?"
"Cooperating with the Qingshan Hotel Group is indeed the best way to maximize our benefits. I have full confidence in leaving the sales of the breast-enhancing winter lon to President Su. My only concern is that Wenwu Group’s equity will be slightly diluted. However, you urgently need funds to purchase Spiritual dicine to sustain your cultivation. As long as we can earn more money, any sacrifice is worth it." Liu Ruolan gave Zhang Bin an affectionate look. "So, I agree to the partnership with the Qingshan Hotel Group."
"Since Sister Lan agrees and the partnership will benefit Brother Bin, I agree too," Xiao Fang said coquettishly.
They’re truly too good to . Zhang Bin was deeply moved.
A radiant smile blossod on Su Man’s face, her beautiful eyes shimring with joy. She had finally established a connection with the Wenwu Group. It was clear to anyone that the company had boundless prospects and was destined to beco a world-renowned corporation. Moreover, with Zhang Bin’s miraculous abilities, he would surely develop other dicines or new health foods in the future. This partnership would definitely shatter the Qingshan Hotel’s operational bottleneck, allowing it to reach new heights.
She then made a solemn promise. "Xiao Fang, Ruolan, rest assured, I will work a hundred tis harder to turn this breast-enhancing winter lon into an astronomical profit for a win-win result. I also look forward to Zhang Bin growing stronger quickly, until he becos invincible. And I can’t wait for him to develop new dicines and grow even more vegetables and specialty crops."
The discussion then turned to equity. The eighteen hotels were valued at 2 billion yuan. Zhang Bin would contribute 1.5 billion yuan to acquire forty-nine percent of the Qingshan Hotel Group’s shares. The Su Family would naturally retain the remaining fifty-one percent, with Su Man holding all managent rights.
The winter lons were priced at 5,000 yuan per jin, and the vegetables at 300 yuan per jin.
Once the winter lons and vegetables were harvested, the Qingshan Hotel would purchase them at these prices. The profits from both the product sales and hotel operations would then be distributed according to the shareholdings.
However, Zhang Bin’s 1.5 billion yuan investnt wouldn’t be paid in cash; it would be deducted directly from his share of the profits. This arrangent was made because he needed a large sum of money for the upcoming Hero Auction to purchase Spiritual dicine.
In essence, Zhang Bin acquired a forty-nine percent stake in the Qingshan Hotel Group without spending any cash, simply by providing the vegetables and winter lons for Su Man to sell. It was an exceptionally favorable deal for him.
However, by securing the supply of the Zhang family’s cultivated vegetables and winter lons, Su Man ensured her hotels would beco wildly profitable, with earnings potentially five tis greater than before, or even more. She also benefited greatly.
It was a classic win-win business partnership.
Naturally, Su Man had consulted her father over the phone multiple tis.
After the contract was signed, there wasn’t much left for Zhang Bin to do. The three won took over, engaging in detailed discussions with radiant smiles on their faces. It was as if they had instantly beco sisters, ready to share weal and woe, honor and disgrace.
Zhang Bin went outside with his father to cut open the winter lons and extract the seeds. When finally weighed, the two winter lons tipped the scales at an astonishing 12,000 jin, valued at 60 million yuan. The sight left Father Zhang and Mother Zhang utterly dumbfounded.
And to think, there were still five more lons maturing in the field. Didn’t that an they were worth a total of 200 million yuan?
"Dad, 200 million isn’t that much, especially since it took several months to grow," Zhang Bin said. "For my cultivation, a single stalk of Ginseng over five hundred years old could cost several hundred million, or even over a billion. And that price might be in USD."
Despite this, Father Zhang was filled with trendous enthusiasm. He went back to the village to lease more land, buy large jars, and plant more winter lons using the seeds they had just collected. At the sa ti, he planned to plant more vegetables.
Zhang Bin didn’t stop him, rely reminding his father to proceed in moderation, as the supply of Spiritual Water was limited.
He returned to his villa on Mantou Ridge for a sound sleep before entering the Virtual World to study and cultivate.
「The next day.」
Liu Ruolan and Su Man held a press conference to announce that Wenwu Pharma had acquired a stake in the Qingshan Group. They also revealed that the breast-enhancing winter lon dish would be sold in their hotels imdiately.
The won who had been protesting the day before were so thrilled by the news they nearly fainted.
The Qingshan International Hotel locations beca hives of bustling activity. Su Man announced a new rule: hotel guests would get first priority for the winter lon. As a result, the hotels, which had previously struggled to fill their rooms, were now constantly at full capacity, even after their rates had been doubled. She instituted another rule: any guest whose spending exceeded 100,000 yuan would be guaranteed an opportunity to order the winter lon dish.
Furthermore, she limited sales to just one hundred portions per day across all eighteen hotels.
Naturally, each portion of the winter lon ca with an exorbitant price tag.
Consequently, business at all eighteen hotels bood, and they began raking in a fortune daily.
When Zhang Bin learned of these developnts, he was secretly impressed. This beauty Su Man isn’t just buxom; she’s brilliant. With her running things like this, how could she not get rich?
However, this wasn’t enough to rapidly grow Zhang Bin’s wealth in the short term. To afford the dicinal ingredients he needed at the Hero Auction, he had to find another way to get his hands on a large sum of money.
He still hadn’t figured out a solution when he received a phone call from Gao Si that left him utterly astonished.
