Chapter 757: It’s good to have money
Zhao Tiezhu returned to the car and said to Lu Yiming, "Mr. Lu, they want us to keep the chili pepper."
After hearing this, Lu Yiming immediately understood and smiled, saying, "We bought these peppers with our own money. He said we can keep them, so what?"
Sheng Yongshi said: "That person is the Yinde Association, the one who wants to buy our peppers at a low price."
Ni Cong, who was standing next to him, was immediately filled with righteous indignation and sneered, "What era is this? How dare you use force? You really don't know how to write the word death."
Lu Yiming said calmly: "Let the convoy continue to move forward. I want to see if they have the courage to stand in front of the car."
"yes."
Zhao Tiezhu responded, then picked up the intercom and said, "Boss Lu said to keep going and ignore them."
After receiving the order, the vehicles started and continued to move forward.
Seeing that his threats had no effect, Yin Dehui became furious and shouted, "Stop! I told you to stop! Are you deaf?"
However, with Lu Yiming's order, no one would pay attention to the shouting of the Yinde Society, and the convoy continued to move forward. However, what no one expected was that the Yinde Society was so bold that they stood in the middle of the road with their people, watching the car coming, and had no intention of moving.
He really values money over life.
The car couldn't really run over them, so it had to stop. Lu Yiming had no choice but to call Zhao Tiezhu, get out of the car, go to the front of the team, and say to Yin Dehui: "What do you want to do?"
Seeing the positions of Zhao Tiezhu and Lu Yiming, the experienced Yin Dehui immediately realized that Lu Yiming was the boss. However, seeing that Lu Yiming was very young, he immediately looked contemptuous and said, "Where did you come from, you wild boy? Do you know whose territory this is?"
Lu Yiming frowned slightly and said, "Just tell me, what do you want to do?"
Lu Yiming had heard a lot of unreasonable people like this in his previous life. Especially here, close to the border, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, there are even more people like this.
He just didn't expect that even in this day and age, he would be able to experience it personally.
Yin Dehui sneered, "What do I want to do? Didn't I tell you? The people and the car can go, but the chili stays. That's what I like."
Lu Yiming said: "I bought it with my own money."
Yinde would shout, "So what if I bought it with money? That's what I like, just hand it over honestly."
Lu Yiming said: "Do you know who I am?"
Yin Dehui stared at Lu Yiming's face for a long time, thinking of many relatives in his mind, but he was sure that he had never seen a face like Lu Yiming. He suddenly became bolder: "Tsk, you want to scare me? In Qiubei County, even if the king comes, you have to lie down! Brothers, come on."
Electricity has only been available in this mountainous area for a few years, and televisions are a rarity. Not to mention that these people can't read a lot and are not the type to pay attention to current affairs. How could they recognize Lu Yiming?
Lu Yiming shook his head helplessly and said, "Hey, I've already given you a chance..."
Yin Dehui grinned and said, "Go ahead, beat him to death!"
Lu Yiming took two steps back and said to Zhao Tiezhu, "Bring the brothers along, just make sure no one gets killed."
Zhao Tiezhu nodded slightly and waved to the veterans.
Can a group of street thugs who can only show off their power in remote areas defeat veterans who have received professional military training?
Are you kidding?
The veterans who work at Tengyu Logistics can beat the shit out of them.
And this is indeed the case. Since the boss Lu Yiming has given the order to take action, the veterans will naturally not stand there and take the beating.
Unlike the thugs who can only make weird noises, the veterans remain silent before taking action. If they don't make a sound, they will make a stunning move!
A fierce counterattack, even though the number of people was only half of the enemy, turned the situation around in almost the blink of an eye. Three punches and two kicks made an enemy roll on the ground, unable to stand up due to the pain.
A moment later, Yin De would be dragged in front of Lu Yiming like a dead dog.
As for Lu Yiming, he got a rattan chair from somewhere and sat there with his legs crossed, drinking juice. His beautiful secretary Yu Jiayi was fanning him from behind, and a group of tall and mighty Zhao Tiezhu in suits and sunglasses acted as his bodyguards .
If people who don’t know him see him, they would think he is the villain.
Yin Dehui, who was kneeling in front of him, had a bruised face and wrinkled clothes covered with dust and shoe prints, looking like a poor old farmer oppressed by capitalists.
Lu Yiming sipped the juice and asked, "Name?"
Yin Dehui was still unconvinced: he shouted in pain: "I am Yin Dehui, my brother is..."
Lu Yiming was not interested in hearing him introduce himself, and he looked at Zhao Tiezhu directly and said, "Slap him."
Zhao Tiezhu had been annoyed with Yin Dehui for a long time, so he went up to him and slapped him in the face, making him swallow back what he wanted to say.
This slap not only knocked out Yindehui's back teeth, but also made Yindehui wake up. It is now unrealistic for him to act arrogantly by relying on the support behind him.
"Who asked you to do this?"
"No one, I came here by myself."
The Yinde Association, which does not want to suffer any more, is now so cowardly that it dares not call itself "boss" anymore.
Lu Yiming was speechless after hearing this. He was indeed terribly stupid. He did all the fighting himself. If he was caught, wouldn’t he be hopeless?
There was no challenge at all to deal with such a mentally retarded opponent. Lu Yiming had no motivation at all. He had been thinking about engaging in a battle of wits and courage with the opponent, but he didn't expect the opponent to kill him at the very beginning.
This made Lu Yiming somewhat bored. He waved his hand and said, "Take him away, report the case directly, and hand it over to the local police. By the way, let Lao Li find out who is behind him. Since he doesn't want to say, then we will investigate it ourselves and take him down once and for all."
As the saying goes, if you don't remove the roots, the grass will grow again in the spring breeze. Lu Yiming planned to engage in business activities here for a long time, so of course he didn't want anyone to disturb him.
Now they dare to do such a thing just because they bought some peppers. When the factory is built in the future, Lu Yiming dare not even imagine what these people will dare to do.
Yin Dehui was so frightened that he was paralyzed. No matter how stupid he was, he could tell that Lu Yiming was going to "confiscate the property and destroy the entire family"!
As the saying goes, the arrogant are afraid of the stupid, and the stupid are afraid of the desperate. Lu Yiming launched a dimensionality reduction attack right from the start. How could the Yinde Society withstand it?
He immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, but Lu Yiming had already made up his mind and ignored him.
Sheng Yongshi, who was standing behind him, saw this scene and felt a little sorry for it. She said, "Why not just forget it? The Yindehui family is a big family in the local area. I heard that Yindehui has an uncle who is very powerful. When will the cycle of revenge end?"
In her opinion, the cause of such a big commotion was that the Indo-German Association wanted to monopolize chili peppers. Now that everyone has been beaten and the Indo-German Association has admitted its mistake, this matter can be put to rest.
It has to be said that after all, he came from the village. Even though he was admitted to a prestigious school like Fu Ri University, Sheng Yongshi still had a very simple view of good and evil. He believed in forgiving others when possible and made avoiding conflicts his primary goal.
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Why? Are you still worried about retaliation? Don't worry, I'm here. No matter if he or his backers make any movement, I can kill them with just a flick of my hand."
Let's not talk about his connections with Mr. Xu, who has direct access to the emperor, and the military background of Tengyu Logistics. How many veterans are retired every year in the local garrison? How to solve the employment problem of these veterans?
What’s more, the company plans to invest here, but what should it do if the business environment is not good?
These are all problems that can be solved with money. As for the power behind the Yinde Association, Lu Yiming could just blow it away with a breath, without even causing a ripple.
After all, who made them block other people's financial path?
"Junior sister, you can rest assured. From today on, none of these people will jump in front of you again."
After a while, local police who received the report rushed over, as did Li Baolong and other government officials.
Li Baolong had just received the various cooperation agreements signed by Lu Yiming and the county, and was dreaming of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich, but suddenly he received news that Lu Yiming, who was on his way home, was blocked by someone. He immediately became anxious as if his butt was on fire, and rushed over here with his men.
Lu Yiming is the God of Wealth of Qiubei County. If you make Lu Yiming unhappy, you will be doomed, right?
With Lu Yiming's current status and influence, many things can be done with just a word.
The Yunnan-Guizhou region has been economically backward and people's lives have been difficult since ancient times.
In this situation, if a rich sponsor finally comes and wants to invest, anyone who dares to stop him will be a sinner for all eternity!
Blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents, not to mention that you are even blocking their path to promotion. Who else can we punish if not you?
In just half an hour, the Indian and German people were taken away.
Li Baolong vowed: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, this matter will be handled strictly and severely, and I will give you a satisfactory answer."
Lu Yiming nodded slightly, but didn't say much. He just said, "Just enforce the law impartially."
Li Baolong nodded repeatedly and said, "The county town is just ahead. It's time for lunch now. Why don't we have a meal first before continuing on our journey?"
According to the plan, Lu Yiming and his friends were also going to stop to eat. Now that Li Baolong brought it up, Lu Yiming naturally followed suit.
At the dinner table, Lu Yiming and several local bigwigs were drinking and chatting.
As for what kind of bloody storm will be set off behind the scenes, and how many people who stand in the way will be unlucky and fall, the people present don't care at all.
After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, whether he was drunk or just playing the sympathy card, Li Baolong said with deep emotion: "Hey, Mr. Lu, the people here have a hard life."
Lu Yiming sighed and said, "Life here is really hard. On my way here, I saw many children who couldn't even wear shoes and were running around barefoot."
The poverty in Yunnan and Guizhou has not been completely resolved even after 20 years, let alone now. In some places, the poverty is beyond the imagination of city dwellers.
When Lu Yiming said these words, he was also emotional, but his power alone was too weak. Even if he was the richest man, he was powerless in the face of the poverty problem of hundreds of millions of people.
But he would help as many people as he could. Lu Yiming was not a saint, and he could not eat coarse food to help the poor. But after he and his family lived a rich life, he could give them some help within his ability.
And as he controls the two major e-commerce channels, Taobao and Luming Mall, he can indeed do it.
The two expressed their feelings to each other, and it was not until Lu Yiming vowed that he would do a good job in the chili business that Li Baolong felt relieved.
Why is the county town so poor? Isn't it because there are no places and channels to make money? As long as Lu Yiming's factory is established, the peppers grown by the villagers can be exchanged for money, and it will only be a matter of time for them to get rid of poverty and become rich.
Therefore, Li Baolong knew very well how important the chili factory was.
It was also because of this that when he learned that India would cause trouble, he rushed over as soon as possible.
If the law did not allow it, he would have wanted to chop off the head of the Yinde Society on the spot to express his firm attitude to Lu Yiming.
Li Baolong said: "Mr. Lu, actually our county has a special product."
Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Oh? What is it?"
Qiubei County's peppers are very famous, which Lu Yiming learned about through channels later in life. As far as he knows, Qiubei County's geographical indication products are only peppers. Now that Li Baolong said there are good things, Lu Yiming couldn't help but feel surprised.
As for specialty agricultural products, Lu Yiming certainly doesn't have too much. He has already decided to produce peppers. If he can concentrate on producing a few more products and spread the transportation costs, Lu Yiming will be happy to do it.
Li Baolong said: " We have many forests here, with high mountains and deep forests. These forests are rich in various high-quality Chinese medicinal materials."
When Lu Yiming heard this, he suddenly understood. Generally speaking, these places with few people are indeed ideal places for some Chinese medicinal materials to grow. For example, in the deep mountains and old forests, there is a high possibility of growing century-old wild ginseng. Many villagers would go into the mountains to look for these treasures during their spare time.
Lu Yiming has always been very interested in Chinese herbal medicine, and immediately asked: "What do you mean?"
Li Baolong said: "There are several Chinese medicinal materials processing factories in the county, which are township enterprises. However, because the transportation is too inconvenient and they don't know how to connect with relevant buyers, they suffer serious losses. Can you help me think of a solution?"
Lu Yiming thought about it and said, "I can take out a sum of money and invest in some local companies to help them expand production, and then use shopping websites to help them open up sales channels. In this way, companies that were originally struggling may be able to turn losses into profits, or even expand production scale, increasing the income and employment rate of local residents."
Hearing that Lu Yiming was willing to help, Li Baolong was overjoyed and said quickly: "This way, we can create a lot of jobs. Mr. Lu is really a conscientious entrepreneur."
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "As the great man said, we should let the rich first drive the poor to achieve common prosperity."
Li Baolong said: "Oh, if only everyone could have such a broad-minded heart as you."
Because Li Baolong mentioned the matter of medicinal materials, Lu Yiming and his team stayed in the county for another day, and Li Baolong led them to inspect several pharmaceutical companies. Lu Yiming acquired several private pharmaceutical companies of relatively good size.
Xu Tengyu found it hard to understand Lu Yiming's large-scale acquisition and asked, "These pharmaceutical factories are not large in scale and their technology is not very good. Can they make money?"
In his opinion, these factories may go bankrupt at any time, so it is enough to brag about it at the wine table. At most, he can invest some money in one or two factories, and he will not feel bad if he loses money. But now it is obvious that Lu Yiming is serious about it, which makes him feel a little confused.
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "It's not very profitable now, after all, the domestic economy has not yet risen, but in the long run, pharmaceutical companies still have great development prospects. After all, if you are sick, you need to take medicine."
"That seems to make sense! Then I'll try investing in a few companies."
Xu Tengyu was immediately tempted. After all, facts have proved that there is no industry that Lu Yiming is optimistic about that will not make money. Now that Lu Yiming said that medicine has great potential, Xu Tengyu certainly wants to seize the opportunity to get on board. A business that can make money is a good business, and he, Xu Tengyu, cannot miss it!
Before his rebirth, Lu Yiming felt sad and angry about traditional Chinese medicine. Whenever he read news about the decline of traditional Chinese medicine on the Internet, or saw traditional Chinese medicine being slandered and defamed, he felt his blood pressure soar.
However, at that time, he couldn't even get enough food to eat, so naturally he had no ability to pay attention to these illusory things. Apart from feeling heartbroken, there was nothing he could do.
But now it’s different. He is the richest man in Asia, worth 160 billion.
In terms of social status, what he says has voice and people listen to him.
In terms of financial resources, he can also support some manufacturers and actually inject some vitality into this industry.
Therefore, regardless of whether this matter has economic prospects or not, Lu Yiming will do it.
What’s more, as the post-90s generation enters middle age, their recognition of traditional Chinese medicine is much higher than that of previous generations. There is great potential for the development of traditional Chinese medicine!
