Li Zhahe: "..."

His hand holding the highland barley wine was startled, then he sighed and drank the wine in one gulp.

"nothing."

"We're drinking today, so we won't talk about this."

He filled up the wine again, held the cup to Tang Li and said.

Tang Li had a drink with him.

As the drunkenness grew stronger, Li Zhahe gradually couldn't bear it anymore and began to express the frustration and depression in his heart.

It turns out that he was running a business of local specialties and medicinal materials, buying them from local mountain people and reselling them to outsiders to earn the price difference. The mountain people collected and picked them, and he was responsible for developing sales and ensuring fair prices. For more than ten years, he

Through cooperation, he has established a good relationship with the mountain residents and won a good reputation and trust.

But now, the business that has been running for more than ten years is facing a crisis.

Not long ago, a group company named "Chisheng" entered the Yunnan-Guizhou region. They are ambitious and intend to integrate the medicinal materials and specialty businesses in the Yunnan-Guizhou region, acquire businesses from various places, and annex them to expand their ambitions.

The mountainous area where Li Zhahe operates is also among the areas that Chisheng Group focuses on acquiring and merging.

In order to smooth the integration, it is said that the CEO of Chisheng Group has personally moved in to take charge.

"Seventeen years, I have been operating here for seventeen years."

"I didn't expect that everything would be gone overnight. So many years of hard work would be wasted..."

Li Zhahe drank the wine and murmured.

Looking at Li Zhahe, Tang Li sighed in his heart.

Tang Li could understand his pain. He remembered that he had been so sad and frustrated when his business failed. Although things were slightly different, the feelings were the same.

"I also thought about going to talk to them, hoping to cooperate in business. However, they are a group company worth tens of billions. What capital do I have to talk to them? I can't even see their face..."

With a bang, the wine bottle rolled to the ground, and Li Zhahe murmured and lay on the table.

He was drunk.

Li Zhahe did not go back that night and slept in the village.

"Seventeen years..."

"It's all gone."

While sleeping, Li Zhahe still murmured from time to time.

This incident seemed to have a really heavy blow to him.

…

The light is dim.

Lizahe wrapped himself in a blanket and finally fell asleep.

Tang Li sat on the spot and took out his mobile phone.

He searched for Chisheng Group on the Internet.

However, this group company is very low-key and somewhat mysterious. Apart from some introductions about its operations and main business, there is not much information.

After thinking about it, Tang Li opened WeChat.

"Do you know anything about Chisheng Group?" Tang Li asked Lu Ziyan.

Lu Ke and Lu Ziyan's brother and sister family run Tong Shan Tang, and they are also leaders in the medicinal materials industry. They may have some understanding of Chisheng Group.

"Chisheng Group?" Lu Ziyan quickly replied, "This group company is a bit mysterious. Master Tang also has interactions with them?"

Tang Li: "I'll ask my friend."

Lu Ziyan said: "Chisheng Group is also engaged in the medicinal materials business, but they mainly develop the market in the southwest region. The name of the boss of Chisheng Group is Jiang Huaizhen. He was a soldier and went abroad after he retired. It is said that he traveled around

Various countries, and even served as mercenaries in the Middle East. When he was forty years old, he returned to China and founded the Chisheng Group. In less than three years, it became a group company with assets of tens of billions and one of the best in the country."

"I wonder if Jiang Huaizhen had ever been a soldier or had experience as a mercenary. In business, Jiang Huaizhen also made great efforts, with a tough style and iron-fisted methods. Many of his competitors were either swallowed up or sadly withdrew from the industry."

"soldier."

"mercenary."

"Group CEO..."

Looking at the information, Tang Li looked thoughtful.

…

Early the next morning.

Li Zhahe woke up very early. Today, he planned to take Tang Li into the mountains to collect herbs to make up for his apology for not being able to entertain Tang Li well these days.

Tang Li carried his backpack and followed Li Zhahe into the mountains.

In fact, Tang Li had already become familiar with the mountainous area these days, but he did not reject Li Zhahe.

When Li Zhahe entered the mountain, he certainly felt sorry for Tang Li, but perhaps he also felt nostalgic. He no longer knew how many opportunities he would have to enter the mountain again in the future.

The morning light pours down.

The sun is high.

On the hillside, the green grass is like waves, swaying in the wind, causing waves to rise and fall.

From time to time, Tibetans appearing in the grass gathering medicinal herbs, hunched over, searching step by step, carefully searching for medicinal materials.

Li Zhahe stepped on the rocks and watched everything.

If Chisheng Group takes over, they will definitely have more professional personnel and more professional equipment, and these herb collectors will also face the crisis of unemployment.

Most of the herb collectors here are local residents. They have made a living by collecting herbs all their lives. If they lose their jobs, it will be a heavy blow to them.

Sighing softly, Li Zahe put on his hat, turned and left.

His back looked sad and lonely.

…

…

At noon, Li Zahe drove a van and took Tang Li to the town. The two had lunch at a local restaurant. Later, due to some matters, Li Zahe and Tang Li said goodbye and left, agreeing to meet again at some time.

The sun sets.

Night falls.

In the village, Tang Li sat cross-legged and breathed out softly.

Immediately, he put on a black sweatshirt, put on his hood, and stepped out.

After hailing a car in the town, Tang Li headed towards Kuncheng.

More than three hours later.

At around 9 p.m., Tang Li appeared in front of a villa in Kuncheng.

…

The villa manor was built on the mountainside. It occupies a vast area and is elegantly decorated. There is a stone lion standing in front of the door. It also has a rockery pond and is paved with expensive jade. In the corridors and halls, there are security guards patrolling in black and the security is tight.

at this time.

Manor, in a living room.

Jiang Huaizhen was sitting at the table, looking up documents.

Even though it was late at night, he was still neatly dressed, wearing a suit, cufflinks, leather shoes, and reviewing documents.

"Recently, those who are engaged in collecting medicinal herbs have not come around anymore, right?"

During the review, Jiang Huaizhen asked.

"No more. They have seen Mr. Jiang's attitude and already know that acquisitions and mergers are inevitable. No one will have unrealistic illusions anymore."

A middle-aged man stood behind Jiang Huaizhen. He had a slim figure and was wearing a white double-buttoned robe. Through the clothes, you could see the knotted muscles. There seemed to be a wild and wild aura in his body.

.

"Haha, I heard that some people once threatened to ask for a pair of my hands and feet. Now, they have no voice. It's a shame that I'm still waiting for them."

Jiang Huaizhen smiled as if he remembered something interesting.

"Mr. Jiang, someone is looking for you."

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.

"Um?"

Hearing this, Jiang Huaizhen raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a deep voice, "I remember that I didn't make any reservations for guests tonight."

There was a slight silence outside the door, and he said, "But, he is already sitting in the living room."

"What?"

"Where's the security?"

Jiang Huaizhen frowned.

The man outside the door said: "When the security found him, he was already in the living room. The security didn't know what to do, so they came here to ask for your instructions."

"oh?"

Jiang Huaizhen looked at the man behind him, a little surprised.
