Chapter 50: Farewell and Rise

Yuelai Inn.

As the reputation of Limin Trading Company spreads, Yuelai Inn has now become the most popular restaurant in Foshan, without a doubt.

"I heard from the people of the former Dongyang Trading Company that after Dongyang Trading Company was merged into Limin Trading Company, their salary increased by more than two times. It is really enviable."

"Of course I heard about it. Oh, by the way, did you see the opening ceremony of the Limin Academy? Wow, the owner of the Limin Company was really generous. He spent a lot of money to go to the provincial capital to hire more than 200 teachers, including more than a dozen foreigners."

"That's right. All the powerful people in the government went to show their support. Even the newly arrived admiral came to show his support. Also, the big merchants and big sea merchants from the surrounding areas went. Wow, this is an unprecedented event."

"I really envy those who work for Limin Commercial Bank. Not only are they paid well, but their children can also attend school at half price. Especially the children of the guards can go to school for free..."

"I heard that the pharmaceutical workshop under Limin Trading Company has started to work in three shifts. Even so, it still cannot satisfy the merchants who come to purchase medicines. It is simply a money-making beast..."

……

At this time, the lobby on the first floor was already crowded with people, and the sounds of conversation and shouting were endless. There were all kinds of people there, and they looked particularly excited, talking to each other about a series of major events that had caused a sensation in Foshan during this period.

It took the two major trading companies more than five months to complete all the merger matters, and many other plans were also on track. At this time, the reputation of Liming Trading Company was well-known throughout Foshan, and even in the provincial capital and surrounding counties, many people knew about it.

Especially with the publication of the National Martial Arts Weekly, the reputation of Limin Trading Company is spreading to the whole world at a terrifying speed, and the commercial potential of this newspaper is gradually revealed.

Port terminal.

On the river bank, where the ground was compacted and leveled, forty burly men in black tights stood upright, like ancient pines rooted in the earth. A merchant ship was quietly docked on the shore, with sixty fully armed merchant guards standing on it.

"Teacher, you must pay attention to safety on this trip..."

Li Da looked at Wang Yi in front of him with a somewhat lonely expression. He didn't know when they would meet again after this separation. The feeling of following his teacher really made him reluctant to leave.

The feeling of being able to get answers to any confusion he had and making progress every day made him a little addicted to it.

Wang Yi patted Li Da on the shoulder and taught him earnestly: "Remember, only by having a far-sighted vision and insight into the changes of the times can you make long-term plans. In the face of risks, only by careful planning can you make steady progress."

"The key to managing people is to identify and cultivate talents, so that they can be used to their full potential. In socializing, one should keep one's word and establish good relationships with integrity. Only by being virtuous and doing good deeds can one win the hearts of the people. When facing a hungry wolf, one should show thunderbolt means, not be soft-hearted. Only by combining the kingly and hegemonic ways can one control the big ship of Limin Commercial Bank."

Seeing Li Da nod and take note, Wang Yi felt relieved and continued, "If there is an emergency, please leave a code in the National Martial Arts Weekly. I will contact you by telegram after seeing it. I will send you the required content of the National Martial Arts Weekly by telegram every month. Remember! You must ensure the normal operation of the National Martial Arts Weekly at all costs."

Li Da bowed respectfully in response. He knew how much his teacher valued the National Martial Arts Weekly, and he understood even more how important this newspaper was to the business company and even to martial artists all over the world.

During this period of time, the teacher has explained in detail everything that should be explained. If he still cannot get things done, then he has no face to call himself the other party's student.

After seeing the two finished their conversation, Li Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "My friend, you are such a hands-off boss that I don't know what to say... I hope that my friend can overcome his mental barriers and make further progress in martial arts."

He was really helpless. Just when many matters of Limin Trading Company were getting on track, this kid couldn't wait to start traveling around the world.

I don’t know if the other party really trusts them, father and son... or is really confident that he can control everything even if he leaves... Where does this confidence come from?
Wang Yi nodded solemnly and reminded in a serious tone: "Yes. Mr. Li must protect the pharmaceutical workshop and let the company's guards be proficient in using foreign rifles. This is the confidence of the company to deal with those hungry wolves." One point of origin can be converted into a hundred foreign rifles and a hundred bags of musket ammunition. This ratio made him feel distressed for a long time. If he used ten thousand taels of gold to buy it, it would probably be more than ten thousand. This cheating ratio directly cut off some of the thoughts in his mind.

Li Yuanshen nodded: "Don't worry, my friend. I will personally participate in this matter, but the government office..." As he spoke, a look of hesitation appeared on his face.

Taking over the militia, expanding the guards, purchasing foreign guns... plus the increasingly powerful Limin Commercial Bank... these actions look like treason... He doesn't believe that the government has no idea at all.

"Don't worry about the government office. My garrison commander title will be removed after a while. Just keep the scale in check."

"Tsk... defense? My friend's method... this makes me feel relieved. I wish you a safe journey." Li Yuan said with a surprised look on his face, and bowed his hands in blessing with a smile.

He was already completely sure in his mind who owned the 20% stake in the business. This was a good and clever move.

Wang Yi smiled and nodded, looking at Huang Feihong, Aunt Thirteen, and Liang Kuan, and reminded them: "The White Lotus Sect is making a lot of trouble in the provincial capital. Master Huang must be careful when he goes to the provincial capital to attend the International Medical Conference."

Huang Feihong bowed and smiled, "Thank you, Brother Wang, for reminding me. You should also pay attention to safety on this trip. I wish you can overcome your difficulties and get what you want as soon as possible."

Thirteenth Aunt, who was standing by, stretched out her right hand with a sweet smile and said in foreign language: "Hello, I heard from Huang Feihong that you also studied abroad in the West? I wonder which university? I see that your management of Limin Commercial Bank is very similar to that of a large foreign company. This management philosophy..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, she talked nonstop. She had bright eyes, white teeth, a round face, and her every frown and smile revealed her charm. Against the backdrop of her Western-style clothing, she looked particularly bright and charming.

This made Liang Kuan, who was beside Huang Feihong, stunned.

Wang Yi smiled, but did not extend his hand to shake that of Aunt Thirteen, nor did he pay attention to her question. He bowed and said loudly: "Everyone, we will meet again in the mountains and rivers. I have to set off now. Goodbye." After that, he turned around and got on the boat with Zhang Shan along the ladder.

Yan Zhendong waved his hand and said in a low voice, "Let's go." Then he and Li Hu followed Wang Yi onto the boat.

Upon hearing this, the forty black-clad guards around him turned around and followed behind him with steady steps.

Seeing the merchant ship sailing away, Huang Feihong retracted his gaze and looked at Li Yuan and his son. He smiled and bowed, saying, "Huang must hurry to catch the steamer, so I'll take my leave first." After that, he took the depressed Thirteenth Aunt and Liang Kuan and walked out of the dock.

Li Yuan waved his hand to signal the guards around him to retreat. Looking at the surging tide in the river, he sighed, "I'm afraid this world is going to stir up some storms. I'm really looking forward to it."

Li Da shook his head slightly, his tone very firm: "The world is too small, the teacher is focusing on the whole world, this child can feel it..."

"The world... It seems like I should exercise my old bones... It's better to be safe than sorry..."

"Teacher, you have great courage. My father always says that I am not decisive enough, but this time I want to make a real decision..."

"Hahaha... Very good! Then let's make this decision while I still have some strength left!"
