Abandoned the Immortal Cultivator, returned to his hometown to farm and sing

Chapter 1350, Section 1337: The Intent to Kill Arises

We returned to Ping'angou from Secretary Wang's place.

In the afternoon, Luo Yihang also called a meeting with everyone.

He's been away for so long, and he needs to know how things are going at home, especially with all those businesses. As the boss, he should know the real situation.

Others also need to understand what he's doing so they can cooperate.

At 1 p.m., a Mercedes-Benz G-Class led the way, followed by a Maybach bringing up the rear.

They were surrounding a Rolls-Royce.

It came to a steady stop in front of the office of the three-story building of Qingyin Agriculture.

Click.

The rear door of the first G-Class opened.

Two burly men jumped out of the car, slammed the doors shut, and jogged to the Rolls-Royce, gently opening the doors.

Both men were dressed in black suits and white gloves. They opened the door very gently and even placed one hand on the top of the door to prevent the VIP from bumping their head when getting out of the car.

Two men and two women got out of the Maybach behind them. They were all dressed in suits and gold-rimmed glasses, carrying document bags, looking like elites.

They don't mind the heat even in the middle of summer.

The four men also snapped to attention and stood on either side of the Rolls-Royce.

At that moment, a person got out of the Rolls-Royce from either side.

The one on the left is wearing a gray round-neck linen shirt with a deliberately washed-out vintage look; her lower body is wearing beige cropped wide-leg pants with banana leaf patterns on both pockets, which show ochre shadows in the sunlight.

She wore hand-woven and dyed canvas shoes, with a band of blue indigo tie-dye decorating the top of the shoes.

A jade bamboo-shaped safety buckle hung on her wrist.

His hair was combed until it was shiny, and he had a small mustache. He smiled before he even spoke, looking at the person opposite him with a smile.

The woman coming down from the right is a tall, beautiful woman.

She wore a bright red silk dress, which appeared as a royal vermilion in the sunlight, but turned into a wine ochre in the shadows.

The design draws inspiration from the Song Dynasty's beizi (褙子) style, transforming the straight collar and front opening into a single-shoulder ripped seam that reveals the collarbone.

She wore gold sandals with cow horn heels.

Her hair was permed into big waves and dyed a plum red color. She wore a Chiwen glass hair ornament with a large red agate inlaid on it, which looked like a blood bead when the sunlight shone on it.

Luo Yihang stood at the window, shaking his head. "Su Jing should really come and take a look. Look at these two, so domineering, even more domineering than a typical CEO. If you look at Xihongshi, you'll definitely be able to relate... Bullshit! What CEO has this kind of entourage? Four assistants and a foreigner with blond hair..."

"Oh my, adjusting your collar? Why aren't you holding hands? You're not even hiding behind anyone anymore, are you..."

"That's called being spontaneous. A domineering CEO doesn't care about rules; he is the rule. He does whatever makes him comfortable..."

Luo Yihang muttered to himself as he left his office.

I arrived at the spacious, empty office outside.

It's pitiful, all the employees are on vacation.

Even though he's the boss, he still has to go to work and attend meetings.

The two sides met.

Luo Yihang opened his arms and warmly embraced the man with the mustache.

She took the opportunity to reach out and rub his body.

Upon closer inspection, the clothes were wrinkle-free, which was disappointing.

He turned and shook hands with the woman in the red dress, praising her, "Shaotong is getting better and better in terms of taste. Did you put together Yingzi's outfit? It's so well done, she looks like a real person now."

"Brother Luo, is this a compliment or an insult?" Liu Ying, also known as Liu Piaoliang, was the first to object.

Luo Yihang smiled and said, "What you think is what you feel. Do you think I'm praising Shao Tong or scolding her?"

Upon hearing this, Ke Shaotong glanced at Liu Piaoliang out of the corner of his eye, his expression remaining unchanged.

Liu Piaoliang is very good at reading people's expressions. She immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "Yes, it's definitely a compliment. It's a compliment to Shaotong for her good taste."

After saying that, he leaned close to Luo Yihang's ear and whispered, "Okay, okay, Brother Luo, you're amazing, you're awesome, you've already set a trap for me the moment we met."

His words were sarcastic and had a hidden meaning.

Luo Yihang pushed him away, took a step back and looked Liu Piaoliang up and down, "Not bad, you look quite energetic. Judging from your appearance, you're in high spirits when something good happens. You've been having a good time lately."

Similarly, there are hidden meanings and implications in the words.

Liu Piaoliang ignored this and complained, "Brother Luo, you're really relieved. You've been gone for months, riding horses and gambling and drinking. I've been so busy."

“It wasn’t several months, it was only a little over a month,” Luo Yihang retorted.

That's all I can say I can refute.

After saying that, he asked in return, "Did the news spread so quickly?"

Before Liu Piaoliang could speak, Ke Shaotong spoke first, "I haven't congratulated President Luo yet on closing such a huge deal, which is said to be worth trillions."

“That’s right, Brother Luo is amazing! I can’t even imagine how big a deal trillions is. Tell us about it, let us learn from you,” Liu Piaoliang chimed in.

Luo Yihang nodded. "Come sit in my office for a while."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Liu Piaoliang followed, but after taking a couple of steps, he remembered something and turned to the group of people who had come with him, saying, "Please sit wherever you like, and help yourselves with your water."

"Yes, Mr. Liu," they answered in unison.

Wow, impressive.

Ke Shaotong reached behind him and immediately a female assistant handed him the folder she was holding.

Without even glancing at it, Ke Shaotong took a few quick steps to catch up with him, saying, "President Luo, I happen to have something to report to you."

Look at their cooperation and trust. They don't even need to say a word or make eye contact; they naturally know what each other wants.

Luo Yihang was truly envious.

Look at these few he has here.

Xiao Zhao talks more than the boss when giving instructions, and he likes to gossip about the boss behind his back. He also gives him nicknames and writes long essays. Now he's even making short dramas, comics, and animations.

Luo Qingcai isn't very bright. You have to list out everything in detail when you need to give him instructions. If you try to wink at him, he'll think you've got sand in your eye.

Wenying, a master, not to be trifled with.

Alas, sad.
-
Upon arriving at the office, Luo Yihang made tea for him.

The three of them sat down and chatted.

Luo Yihang briefly explained the $160 billion deal.

Theoretically speaking, Luo Yihang mainly played the role of connecting the parties in this big deal, and it had little to do with him personally.

Even if there is a connection, it's about Wang Shaopeng's Nongsheng Group.

At most, the only thing Pretty Cat can do is open a few more stores after her reputation improves.

In fact, reputation is not necessary. There are already quite a few stores in the Middle East, and they can open up the market entirely based on their hard power.

However, winning the UFC fight was a pleasant surprise, as the Sunset League desperately needs a breakthrough.

During a chat.

Qiangwa has arrived too.

He was driving the same little Wuling from yesterday, parked right next to Liu Piaoliang's Rolls-Royce.

He was wearing a tank top and shorts, carrying a tattered bag that looked like something he'd just bought casually from a roadside ten-dollar store.

It was stuffed full and bulging, and it just swung in.

Chu Jie arrived shortly after Qiangwa.

He's been in his office in the city all this time, still driving his old, uncomfortable Jeep Wrangler.

Wearing a striped T-shirt, casual pants, and perforated sneakers, with a buzz cut, he doesn't look like the head of a major entertainment industry at all; he looks more like an office worker.

Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting.

We were still in that pure white conference room at Qingyin Agriculture, which looked like a hospital.

There were only five people in total, and they all sat down on one side, sipping their tea.

Qiangwa also swiped two bags of sunflower seeds and a few oranges from the snack shelf in the large office.

They threw everything on the table like they were having a tea party.

Look at this group of people. Apart from the two domineering CEOs, they don't look like the heads of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate at all. And there are multiple of them.

That's right. Nongsheng Group alone is valued at over 100 billion yuan.

Pretty Little Cat is no slouch either, aiming for a hundred billion.

As for Qingyin Agriculture, it's impossible to value it; nobody knows how much the Breeding 4.0 Laboratory is worth.

It doesn't matter if it's a tea party or not. The things we talk about are all serious matters.

Luo Yihang first explained his side of the matter, and then went over the expansion of Nongsheng Group's operations. Wang Shaopeng wasn't there, so Luo Yihang took his place.

There are also large transactions where the payment terms are shares of Western industrial groups, which are then exchanged for cash or other resources through multiple transactions within China.

Luo Yihang's shares, worth billions of euros and US dollars, which he had overseas, will also be redeemed this time.

Most of the principal came from the drunkards at Qiao Xiaomao's place; we need to discuss what to exchange it for, cash or something else.

There will also be issues related to financial settlement.

Liu Piaoliang flipped through the directory and spotted something he liked: a warehousing company controlled by a domestic petrochemical new materials enterprise, which included large warehouses with tens of thousands of storage spaces across the country, as well as supporting automated sorting systems.

Ambient temperature warehouses can be upgraded to cold storage for fresh produce by adding temperature control modules, and the sorting system can also shorten the fresh produce circulation process and make inbound and outbound operations more efficient.

This is a great thing. If we integrate Qiaoxiaomao's existing cold chain logistics into it, we can build our own supply chain.

Liu Piaoliang decided on the spot that she would choose it; she didn't want to acquire or control it, she just wanted to take a stake and become a major shareholder.

Backed by petrochemicals, we can leverage this connection and climb the petrochemical giant's coattails to greatly increase logistics efficiency and significantly reduce costs.

Luo Yihang naturally agreed.

He casually tossed it to Liu Piaoliang and told him to handle the negotiation himself.

Liu Piaoliang was so angry that she kept complaining, saying that Luo Yihang was like a slippery eel.

Then Luo Yihang went on to talk about the Breeding 4.0 Laboratory's direction of "one county, one specialty; one township, one flavor"—small but beautiful.

Recent achievements include Guizhou Tongzi specialty products, Qiuyan No. 16 and Wolf Tooth Potatoes.

Once this is made, it will definitely be given to Pretty Cat; it's sure to be another hit.

Another carrot was hanging in front of Liu Piaoliang...
-
These are the few new things happening on Luo Yihang's side, and each one is a big deal.

Next, Chu Jie gave his report.

His biggest project recently is the second season of "Seeking Flavors," which has finished filming and is currently being edited by him.

He also held an auction.

With the release of several hit shows such as "A Taste of Life", "New Taste", and "Xixi Village and Three Fools".

Han Yun's reputation soared.

Han Yun's products are great; they not only have economic benefits but also social benefits. They bring in money and fame, with a huge long-tail effect.

"A Bite of China" has been around for so many years, but it still occasionally makes a appearance on the streaming charts.

It's always fresh and interesting, and countless people enjoy watching it while eating.

When news broke that "A Bite of China" was filming a second season, the four famous chefs would reunite, and the production would be on a larger scale and with more luxurious production.

Most importantly, it has more episodes.

It immediately attracted the attention of all video platforms.

Everyone wants it, so the price keeps going up and up – it's definitely a seller's market.

In order to maximize profits, Chu Jie decided to stop negotiating with each company individually and instead held a public auction.

Besides the second season of "A Bite of China".

Chu Jie's side also includes the Middle Eastern Food Competition, various overseas versions of programs, Cat Head, Super Malan Grass, Jiao Qiqi, Sushan Ice Cream, Pork, Pretty Little Cat, Master Niu, and so on, promoting and building reputation for various industries.

Two cats have supported half of the internet's content creators.

Then there's the zoo.

The zoo belongs to the cultural tourism industry and is also under the Hanyun Group.

Planning, design, construction, recruitment, purchasing animals, disease prevention, research, rescue, as well as designing the surrounding area, arranging restaurants and shops—there are so many things to do.

Chu Jie had a lot of complicated and tedious things to do.

His busy schedule is starting to affect his relationship with his wife.

Shi Juan was busy too.

The couple now feel like strangers to each other when they meet...

In contrast to Chu Jie.

Qiangwa is fine.

His business involves routine production, sales, transportation, and delivery.

Production proceeds in an orderly manner. Large industrial enterprises rely entirely on rules and regulations, which are formulated in great detail. Each workshop director is also a conscientious and responsible expert.

Many of them had received favors from Qiangwa, just like the righteous and helpful Song Jiang.

I've helped countless people without hesitation.

If anyone has an emergency or encounters any trouble, finding Qiangwa is always the right thing to do.

Luo Minghai also helped out. He really brought out the workshop director who had trained him. He was a good person and very capable. He could handle everything from machine production planning and quality control to cost control.

He worked as the deputy director of a food factory.

This man had worked in the factory his whole life and had received kindness from Qiangwa. When his mother suddenly fell seriously ill, Qiangwa went to ask Master Shi for help, and Master Shi saved her with three acupuncture needles.

Out of gratitude, he swung the hoe so fast that he shamelessly dug into the fields of all the skilled people he had met or heard of.

In addition, the salary and benefits far exceed those of the industry average, so I don't feel wronged.

The factory is developing rapidly, with broad prospects and smooth upward mobility.

From workshop directors to foremen and section chiefs, shouldn't they all work diligently and conscientiously?

If you do a good job, a new production line might open one day, and you'll be promoted immediately, your salary will skyrocket, you can go on a trip at the end of the year, you can even get gold, and the boss will even sing for you.

So there's absolutely no worry about production, and we don't need to put in much effort.

Sales are effortless; it's all about taking orders, with customers coming to you.

The transportation is either handled by local supermarkets themselves or they use Qiaoxiaomao's logistics services, so there's not much to manage.

Even when the goods were shipped, they were all dumped on Liu Shuyi.

It's called exercise.

Qiangwa spends his days looking at reports, eating, drinking, and wandering around.

It's so leisurely it's infuriating.

Damn, he's even more free than Luo Yihang.

They should be beaten to death!

This is the shared sentiment of everyone else (except Luo Yihang).
-
Even Ke Shaotong felt murderous intent after hearing Qiangwa's report (bragging).

She's not only busy, she's also worried.

Ke Shaotong is now mainly responsible for luxury goods and overseas markets, taking a high-end approach and striving to become a fashion icon.

My work during this period naturally revolved around the Sunset Alliance.

Good news! We've finally reached an agreement with Delphina on all the details of the Sunset Alliance.

After the spy assassination incident, Delphine had no time to argue anymore and made significant concessions.

The bad news is that as soon as the Sunset Alliance reached an agreement, that family went back to Europe to fight. Old Arnault was furious, literally furious, and launched a full-scale war.

It's understandable. The eldest son, who was perfectly fine, was seduced by those scoundrels, causing a rift between brothers. He even tried to seize power, almost killing his own brother, and was made a fool of.

How could the old man not get angry?

I need to vent.

He simply refuses to admit that he failed to designate an heir early enough and messed up the balancing act.

Anyway, there are bad people.

With Arnault's actions, the Sunset Alliance's overseas expansion will inevitably be hindered.

The old man has no interest in business; he's busy fighting all the time.

Delphine was also busy taking over Antoine's forces and had no time to deal with her allies.

After working hard for half a day, we only managed to secure the second-tier channel buyer store deal; the rest are still pending.

Left with no other option, Ke Shaotong had to shift his focus to work in China.

Discover emerging domestic luxury brands.

She actually found quite a few.

"Everyone, please look. The outfit Mr. Liu is wearing is the work of an independent designer recently discovered in Shanghai. The brand is called 'Suyun'..."

Liu Piaoliang immediately stood up, moved out of her seat to the side of the conference room, puffed out her chest, raised her head, and even turned around.

Look at how capable he is, trying to be a model or something?
A bunch of guys who got force-fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection) are so jealous...
