Chapter 645: Wedding, Wealth and Friendship
He Youlong's agent forced Zhang Jingguang to apologize to Li Quan, Yanhuang Pharmaceutical and Shennong Group, which was actually forcing Zhang Jingguang to think about escaping from the Dahua pharmacy chain.
No matter how unsuccessful Zhang Jingguang is in business, he is still a well-known and influential figure in Demon City.
Especially in the field of pharmaceutical retail, it is one of the top players.
Before the incident at Dahua Pharmacy, only the bosses of major pharmaceutical companies came to him for help.
Now he was asked to apologize to the two pharmaceutical companies, which Zhang Jingguang could not accept in any way.
"Killing people is not enough. I'm done with this crappy company. I'm going to withdraw my shares."
Zhang Jingguang roared.
"Director Zhang, the company's current operating conditions are very poor. It would be a bit unfair for you to withdraw your shares at this time, right? It's inevitable that people will think that you are just looking for an excuse to cash out."
The agent continued to set a trap for Zhang Jingguang.
This is a typical case of taking advantage of others.
"I have been a hero all my life and have never bowed my knee to anyone. You want me to publicly apologize to Yanhuang Pharmaceutical and Shennong Group. Aren't you trying to ruin my reputation? Dahua Pharmacy is a lean camel that is bigger than a horse. Even if I withdraw my shares to cash out, the person who takes over will not lose anything. You have to agree even if you don't agree.
As for the buyer, I will find one myself."
After saying that, Zhang Jingguang slammed the door and left.
After leaving, Zhang Jingguang found an empty corner, sat down and smoked a cigarette.
After careful consideration, he felt that Dahua Pharmacy was now surrounded by enemies. It was definitely the wisest choice to withdraw shares and cash out while it was still standing.
After making up his mind, Zhang Jingguang began to spread the news through various channels, stating that he wanted to transfer all of his 49% shares in Dahua Pharmacy.
After the news was released, it was not as popular in the market as expected.
Even a little cold.
Three days passed and only a dozen people called to inquire.
After hearing Zhang Jingguang's offer, these people all disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Jingguang initially asked for 20 billion yuan.
He believed that the market valuation of Dahua Pharmacy was as high as 100 billion yuan at its peak. He held 49% of the company's shares, and only 20 billion yuan was considered a bargain.
But he also understood that Dahua was now on the decline and was in a rapid decline.
There's no way it could be worth that many more years.
So, he started to lower the price continuously, from 20 billion to 15 billion, then to 12 billion, and 10 billion.
Unfortunately, no one is willing to take over.
First of all, it is true that there are numerous billionaires in Shanghai, but there are not many who can come up with one or two hundred billion.
Millionaires with assets worth tens of billions are all cunninger than devils. Asking them to use up all their assets to buy a company that is rapidly going downhill and may even go bankrupt, one must be crazy.
Zhang Jingguang tried to transfer the company's shares for many days but failed to do so.
Just in these few days, Dahua has seen frequent incidents and scandals.
Zhang Jingguang was very anxious.
If this continues, the shares he holds would be good at just 100 yuan, let alone more than 10 billion yuan.
We must hurry up and sell it, even at a lower price.
It's better than having it fall on your hands.
Even if he sells it for 1 billion, he will be able to live a worry-free life for the rest of his life.
Just as Zhang Jingguang was anxiously looking for a sucker and someone to take over, his hard work paid off.
He actually met one.
This sucker looks like a fool with a lot of money.
After negotiations, the two sides finally agreed on a price of 3 billion yuan.
Zhang Jingguang transferred all the company shares and properties held by the company to this "sucker".
The two parties successfully signed the share transfer contract and quickly completed the relevant procedures, and Zhang Jingguang received 3 billion.
Although I feel a little heartbroken and lost, I feel more fortunate.
Finally threw it out at the last minute.
With these 3 billion, there is sufficient capital for retirement or to make a comeback and start a career.
…
At this moment, in a private room of a local restaurant near Huier Hospital, Li Quan and He Youlong were drinking happily.
Both of them had rosy faces and laughed continuously.
Secretary Zhang was eating the food on the table elegantly, watching the two men with a big age difference drinking together.
The two are as close as brothers.
She even had an illusion that He Youlong was taking care of his younger brother Li Quan like an older brother.
At the same time, Li Quan also made He Youlong the big brother.
The cooperation between these two people is a win-win situation.
"Brother Li, you did a great job with the capital speculation, the maneuvers, and the constant resale, right?" He Youlong asked with a smile.
"Brother He, you are this! When it comes to capital operation, I have no one to lean on but you." Li Quan was also rarely humorous.
Anyone would be happy if they could easily earn hundreds of billions.
"Hehe, we each spent 3.5 billion and finally succeeded in acquiring Dahua Pharmacy. This is a pharmaceutical retail company with a valuation of hundreds of billions. And we acquired it at a cost of less than 10 billion.
Just wait and see, within a month, Dahua Pharmacy will be able to regain new vitality under my full management.
It will even be stronger than before.”
He Youlong raised his glass.
"With the layout of drug retail, my Shennong Group and our Yanhuang Pharmaceutical will no longer have to worry about being strangled by pharmacies and hospitals. If you develop any new drugs in the future, we can sell them directly in our own pharmacies. We make money, promote drugs, and at the same time, the people can benefit."
This matter really kills several birds with one stone.
"Brother Li, you will soon become a super-rich man with a net worth of over 100 billion. Do you believe it?"
He Youlong asked with a smile.
"Yes, I believe it! Because of you!"
Li Quan actually has no idea about money.
Be it a hundred billion or a thousand dollars, he thinks it is enough as long as it is enough.
"Brother, do you know that the rich are also divided into different levels? Those with a net worth of more than 10 million can barely be called rich. In fact, they are just at the threshold of being rich. Those with a net worth of more than 100 million are considered real rich. There are many rich people of this level. Those with a net worth of more than 10 billion can also have a head in a place like Magic City where many dragons dance together.
As for a net worth of over 10 billion, it is enough to be called a big boss.
My previous net worth was only in the tens of billions.
But since I met you, you have made me successful, and my net worth has the potential to exceed 100 billion. In this life, if I hadn't met you, I might have been lucky to have the opportunity to become a 100 billionaire before I die of old age.
As for trillionaires, there are only dozens of them in the world.
I can't even imagine it.
But I think you might have a chance to do it in the future.”
It was the first time that Li Quan understood the classification of the wealthy so intuitively.
In the eyes of ordinary people, perhaps someone with tens of millions of dollars is already considered rich.
I even feel that there is not much difference between tens of millions and hundreds of millions.
In fact, the gap is very large for every order of magnitude difference.
"I have never thought about becoming a trillionaire. I just want to have enough food to eat, clothes to wear and a house to live in. That's enough. My biggest interest is to study medicine and try to make more contributions to the motherland and mankind."
Li Quan's ideal is to revitalize traditional Chinese medicine and carry forward its medical skills.
But blindly praising traditional Chinese medicine is definitely not the way to go.
History is the most fair judge.
It will automatically eliminate some people or things that are not motivated.
There are many reasons why traditional Chinese medicine was eliminated, including the intervention of foreign forces and market competition itself.
Therefore, Li Quan planned to truly develop the integration of Chinese and Western medicine.
Bang bang bang!
After listening to this, He Youlong couldn't help but applaud.
Even Secretary Zhang looked at Li Quan with admiration.
It is not easy to have money and still keep your original intention.
It is also extremely rare.
"Brother Li, I toast you with this glass. I wish you can realize your dream soon." He Youlong raised his glass again.
…
A month passed very quickly.
It has been some time since Li Quan brought his parents to Shanghai.
Tomorrow is the day he and Sophie are getting married, and the wedding invitations have already been sent out.
Li Quan only invited close friends or superiors to his banquet.
For example, Professor Liu, who was his teacher and also his superior when he was not yet successful.
Now that Li Quan is getting married, he must be invited.
Some colleagues from the hospital will also be present.
As for the ordinary employees of the hospital, Li Quan was not planning to mobilize a large number of people.
Don't even let them know.
Xi Xiang Feng Hotel is a quasi-seven-star hotel in Shanghai.
Whether it is the hotel's decoration or the hotel's service, they all reach seven-star level. However, the rating of seven-star hotels is very strict.
This also means that it has not yet reached the standard of a seven-star hotel.
At the entrance of the hotel, Li Quan, dressed in a bright red robe, stood at the door in person to welcome the guests who came to celebrate.
Each of them is a well-known and influential figure among the demons.
The lowest level is chief physician of a Grade 3A hospital.
"President Li, congratulations! You look particularly festive and energetic in this Tang suit today." Director Yang is always so eloquent.
If a leader cannot speak, it is impossible for him to climb to the high position of director.
"Director Yang, I didn't expect you to come and celebrate with me in person. I'm really flattered. You must have a couple of extra drinks later. Please come in."
Li Quan quickly invited Director Yang in.
Next, Li Quan’s relatives and friends arrived one after another.
At the same time, the woman’s relatives and friends also came to congratulate her.
At this moment, a somewhat timid figure appeared in Li Quan's sight.
The man was a little afraid to come over and hid himself.
"Han Dong, I thought you had forgotten about my marriage?" Li Quan strode over quickly.
Han Dong and he are close friends.
Although with Li Quan's rapid rise, the two had less and less contact.
But that friendship has always been deeply hidden in Li Quan's heart.
"Hey, how could I forget about your wedding? I was a little busy at work today, so I came a little late. Please don't be offended." Han Dong's skin is now tanned and he hasn't even trimmed his hair.
The clothes he was wearing looked like cheap street goods.
This shows that his current financial situation should not be very good.
The cost of living in Shanghai is very high.
Han Dong's wife was pregnant and unable to work, so it was really hard for Han Dong to earn money to support the family alone.
The pressure is definitely great.
After all, his ability to make money is limited.
There is one thing that Li Quan particularly admires Han Dong for. No matter how hard and tiring the job of delivering takeout is, Han Dong has never come to Li Quan for help to find a job at Huier Hospital.
"Li Quan, this is my gift to you. I still have work to do, so I won't go in. I wish you and Miss Su a long and happy marriage, and may you have many children and grandchildren."
Han Dong's eloquence is average.
Now he can speak so fluently, there is only one possibility, that he has done sufficient homework in advance.
"I accept the gift, but you have to go in to eat. By the way, where's your wife? Ask her to come along. It's more fun when there are more people." Li Quan pulled Han Dong.
He knew that Han Dong was just inferior and was worried about being laughed at when he went to the hotel to eat.
After all, Li Quan is getting married today and some of his college classmates will be there.
In fact, quite a few of Li Quan’s college classmates came.
These people had little contact with Li Quan on a daily basis, and no one knew how they got the news this time, but they all came to curry favor with him.
"I really have something else to do. If I don't work hard and my boss fires me, what will happen to my wife and unborn child?" Han Dong declined again.
He refused to go in no matter what.
"Let me tell you, the principal of our school and the head teacher of our class are all here. Some classmates are here too. I specially arranged for them to sit at the same table. I also told them that Han Dong will also be here later. Han Dong is my good brother. I will let Han Dong accompany me for drinking."
Li Quan's words almost made Han Dong's eyes wet.
After becoming rich, very few people can still remember their old relationships.
Han Dong's current status is far inferior to Li Quan's, but Li Quan has not forgotten him.
Or treat him as your best brother.
In addition, the house that Han Dong and Wu Juan live in now was bought with money from Li Quan.
"Well, isn't it just a drink? I'll do it." Han Dong also knew that the groom Li Quan must have a lot of things to do today.
Li Quan needed his help, and he agreed without hesitation.
"Haha, this is my good brother. With you here, if someone wants to make trouble for me at the wedding, you can take care of me. Where's your wife? Let her come along."
Li Quan said.
"this……"
Han Dong hesitated.
"I'll arrange a car to pick her up immediately. She's at home, right? Give her a call." Li Quan treated Han Dong as a brother, and Wu Juan was equivalent to Li Quan's sister-in-law.
Since marriage is such a big event, she must be invited.
"No, no, I'll go answer it." Han Dong said, and ran away.
After seeing Han Dong running away, Li Quan rode an electric bike.
We have to find a way to help Han Dong, at least let him make money and live a decent life.
Li Quan felt uncomfortable seeing that his good brother was not having a good time.
Less than five minutes later, Han Dong came over with Wu Juan.
This time, Han Dong did not shy away from it. Instead, he rode his electric bike and took Wu Juan to the hotel entrance.
"Juanzi, I've been waiting for you. Let me tell you, my wedding won't be perfect without you and Han Dong." Li Quan strode forward to greet her with a smile.
"Haha, thank you Dean Li for remembering us." Juanzi thanked with a shy smile.
"Are you being polite? Don't say that I'm just a small dean. No matter how high your position is, you are still my good friends." Li Quan said with some reproach.
