Gu Zhongtian was a little confused when he saw Prime Minister Li surrounded by so many dignitaries, including Gu Tian and even Gu Taozhi!
As the head of a noble family in the capital, what surprised Gu Zhongtian was not how prominent these dignitaries were or how generous the gifts they brought, but...
The sincerity and respect in their eyes came from the bottom of their hearts!
This cannot be faked!
Even if it is him, there are still people who are dissatisfied with him as the head of the Gu family. Especially at the dinner party, everyone has their own evil intentions and just goes through the motions and gets over with it.
But now, these old foxes in business and politics are so pious that they have put aside their previous identities and status and yearn for Prime Minister Li's eyes like children begging!
Why didn't this shock him!
"Thank you all! Thank you all! I have received your thoughts, Li Xiang! Please take your seats quickly and start the banquet as soon as possible!" Li Xiang hurriedly thanked you and said.
"You're welcome, Divine Doctor Li! If you hadn't developed the ointment, how would we have had the chance to come and join in the fun?"
"Yes, Divine Doctor Li, we didn't dare to take a seat in advance because you haven't arrived yet, for fear of losing etiquette!"
"Divine Doctor Li..."
These people talk to each other and it's really lively.
Gu Tian sat back at this time, leaned next to Gu Zhongtian and asked, "Master, wouldn't it be more polite to come early to this banquet and wait at your seat until the time is up? Why do these people think that
Is it disrespectful to sit down before the main event guest arrives?"
Gu Zhongtian glanced at the pile of gifts at the door and said slowly, "As you just heard, someone came here to book a room in advance for fear of missing the banquet time. This means that someone arrived earlier than us."
"As long as the first person to arrive lowers his profile outside, the people who come after him will have exactly the same psychological suggestion."
"Since no one is seated, it's better to wait for the host of the banquet to arrive first and then behave yourself in person. In this case, this is the situation."
"Master, what you said is absolutely true!" Gu Tian sighed and said,
"It's just Master... I'm afraid there won't be so many people who respect you so much even on your birthday!"
"This is also what surprises me." Gu Zhongtian thought thoughtfully, looking at Li Xiang who looked like a star holding the moon in his arms.
And Gu Taozhi...the stars in his eyes were shining brightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"The Tang family, the Ren family is here!"
Following an announcement, people from the Tang and Ren families walked in.
The waiter guided us to the table where Gu Zhongtian was sitting.
The leaders Tang Hailou and Ren Shanjian saw Gu Zhongtian and the other three sitting on the table at a glance. They quickly raised their hands and said respectfully, "Commissioner Gu!"
"No need!" Gu Zhongtian stretched out his palm to indicate that there was no need to be polite.
Those following behind were naturally Tang Ren, Ren Zhengguo and others, and the people behind them...
I saw two figures, one black and one white, coming together in front of Li Xiang.
"Happy Doctor Li Xiaoshen Day!"
"Hmph! Happy birthday to you!"
Ren Yunyi and Tang Wangshu had done their homework today, and the dispute was spectacular and quite eye-catching!
Tang Wangshu was dressed in a white dress, looking quite graceful and elegant, while Ren Yunyi was dressed in a black dress, and with her tall figure, she was quite noble and sexy!
It's just that Ren Yunyi was unhappy, giving the little mute an advantage every time, which naturally made her feel unhappy.
"Okay, I'd like to thank you both!" Li Xiang returned the greeting with fists clasped.
Not long after, it was time to start the banquet.
After Li Xiang greeted all the guests to take their seats, he placed the gifts he received on the reception desk, walked to Gu Zhongtian's table and sat down.
Ren Shanjian saw Li Xiang sitting down. As the first person he knew, he spoke first and said, "Little friend Li, happy birthday today. How old will you be this year?"
Although the last sentence seems a bit redundant, after all, almost everyone present has a clean background of Prime Minister Li.
"Thank you, Mr. Ren, for turning eighteen this year!" Li Xiang replied with a smile.
After hearing Xiang Li's answer, everyone in the audience squeaked secretly.
Just turned eighteen!
What a promising young man!
"Li Xiaoyou is really young and promising!" Ren Shanjian said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.
"Brother Li, you are a real man! You actually keep your word and lead our family to make a fortune in silence! I never thought that one day I, Tang Hailou, would be able to do business openly and honestly. Even several officials from Shonan Province saw this.
You have to be polite when you come to me, this is the first time I have been treated like this in my whole life of working in the underworld, and it’s all thanks to little brother Li!”
"Brother Li, let me toast you and wish you a happy birthday!" Tang Hailou laughed loudly, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Li Xiang was embarrassed, so he had to pick up a glass of white wine and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tang, for your kindness!"
After the two old men finished toasting, it was the turn of the direct descendants of the Tang and Ren families from other tables to toast. Basically, they were all people Li Xiang had never met before.
After Tang Wangshu and Ren Yunyi paid their respects, Li Xiang's face turned red and he was leaning on the table with his elbows, feeling a little unconscious.
Gu Zhongtian, who had been silent until now, saw this opportunity and looked at Tang Hailou curiously and asked,
"Mr. Tang, I just heard you say that Li Xiang made you rich, how did it happen?"
Regarding the identity of 'Director Li', the identity of 'miracle doctor' is the key that has always attracted him.
"A month ago, Brother Li Xiang united our two families. I was responsible for providing the money, the Ren family was responsible for providing assistance, and then Brother Li Xiang was responsible for refining the ointment!"
The more Tang Hailou talked, the more excited he became.
"Brother Li Xiang's ability to make ointments is really amazing! Once the medicinal materials are in his hands, they are 100% sure to be turned into ointments! The money we have made this month can make us laugh even in our dreams!"
Gu Zhongtian and Gu Tian were frightened when they heard this. No matter how they managed their facial expressions, they could not hide the surprise in their eyes at this moment!
100% refined ointment?!
What is this concept?
No matter how powerful the Chinese medicine practitioners are, they would not dare to say that the refining is 100% successful!
In the best case, the medicinal materials are boiled into water, and in the worst case, the medicinal materials are boiled dry and may not become a paste. If you want to refine it again, you have to prepare another portion of the same amount of medicinal materials.
This is not only a question of money, but also a question of time and manpower!
The process is just like refining sand and panning for gold, it is extremely difficult!
As for the value of the ointment, after the minimum standard of hundreds of medicinal materials has been repeatedly refined many times, the costs in all aspects have skyrocketed. A piece of the most basic ointment costs over 100,000 yuan!
This is also talking about the cost price, the actual selling price is far more...
Gu Zhongtian's expression could no longer calm down, and his heart felt like a turbulent sea. Looking at the half-drunk Li Xiang beside him, there was still a slight change in his eyes.
"Commissioner Gu, Brother Li Xiang's ability is obvious to all. Coupled with his current age... I'm afraid his future is limitless! I'm so envious of you, old man!" Tang Hailou said while drinking, a little drunk.
.
"Yes, your daughter's vision is incomparable to mine. Old man, I would like to congratulate Commissioner Gu in advance!" Ren Shanjian agreed.
Their granddaughter is dressed so gorgeously today, and she cannot escape the support of her grandfather.
In addition to coming to the banquet, there is another biggest purpose, which is to explore Li Xiang's hot spots and get him drunk by the way, so that my granddaughter can take advantage of him!
But now it seems... there is no chance.
There is no other reason than that the other party is simply too strong!
Just one Gu family in Beijing is beyond their reach!
And Gu Taozhi herself has a noble temperament, just like a fairy descending to earth.
Even if they have this intention, they don't have the old face to mention this matter, because people always have self-awareness, right?
After hearing this, Gu Taozhi felt very happy, and the proud look on her face was overjoyed.
Gu Zhongtian's eyes gradually became intense, and he asked the two old men, "Then... how much money did Li Xiang bring you in this month?"
The two old men looked at each other. Although such secrets could not be revealed to the public at will, as the future father-in-law of Prime Minister Li, he had to speak.
Tang Hailou said in a tactful tone, "We two old men didn't make much money, and little brother Li Xiang made most of it. After all, refining the ointment is the most important part, and we are just doing odd jobs behind."
of!"
"This... you have provided resources and channels, how can you be just a handyman?!" Gu Zhongtian didn't know why.
"Commissioner Gu, you know that in our business, the price difference can make the cost negligible, can you understand this?" Ren Shanjian said with a mysterious smile.
"I know a little about this." Gu Zhongtian tapped his chin.
"Then you can calculate how much money you made this month." Ren Shanjian said leisurely,
"Almost all the people at the one hundred or so banquet table have bought Li Xiaoyou's ointment. Counting ten people at one table, that's equivalent to ten thousand people here. But since some people came with their families, we counted it as five thousand people."
"And the lowest price we can sell for a piece of ointment is one million..."
When Ren Shanjian said this, no matter how unclear Gu Zhongtian was, he understood it at this time and immediately exclaimed,
"Wha, what?!"
"Five hundred million?!"
Even Gu Taozhi was a little shocked and opened his mouth slightly.
These 500 million are working capital!
It’s a huge sum of money for every aristocratic family in the capital!
And this Li Xiang...went from being penniless to...a billionaire just by relying on one hundred percent success!
This is simply...
Ren Shanjian smiled and did not answer, but said, "Commissioner Gu, I am only talking about the lowest price, and the highest price is in the millions! Because this is a monopoly technology, this number will have to be doubled several times.
, and our 'salary' is deducted from his 'second' number!"
After saying this, Gu Taozhi was fine, but Gu Zhongtian, Gu Tian and some of the younger members of the two families all looked shocked, with horror in their eyes!
Gu Zhongtian swallowed secretly and moved his eyes to Li Xiang with difficulty.
Li Xiang happened to be looking at him with narrowed eyes.
Especially the take-out clothes on Li Xiang's body were particularly dazzling at this time. There seemed to be a smile on his face, and he looked at Gu Zhongtian meaningfully,
