"It's all from Douyin, I think it's great. Ancient Chinese people did this, and I think with your current status, you should find a concubine!"
Shen Yiman continued, unwilling to give up.
"I'll pass, how about I find you a young master concubine!"
Lu Yang sneered and looked at Shen Yiman.
"Um... I have something to do, I'm going back to my room!"
Hearing this, Shen Yiman quickly returned to her room with a blushing face.
"Hmph, trying to play me before you've even grown your wings!"
Lu Yang sneered and returned to his room.
The next morning, the entire Jiangbei City's medicinal materials market was flooded with tens of thousands of tons of medicinal herbs, imported from surrounding countries at very low prices. They were instantly snapped up, and the prices of medicinal materials in Jiangbei City plummeted.
Meanwhile, Han Cheng'en was still sleeping with two beauties, while his confidant was anxious like an ant on a hot pan, constantly knocking on the door.
"Fuck, why are you knocking so early, are you trying to die?"
Han Cheng'en opened the door and cursed loudly.
"Young Master Han, something has happened. The medicinal materials we have in stock are probably unsellable!"
The confidant said in a hurry.
"What do you mean? Explain it properly!"
Han Cheng'en immediately sobered up and looked at his confidant, asking further.
"At dawn today, I don't know from where, tens of thousands of tons of medicinal materials poured in, directly impacting the medicinal materials market in Jiangbei City. Now the prices in the entire market have dropped significantly, even lower than our previous acquisition price by ten percent. What should we do now?"
"With twenty billion worth of medicinal materials in hand, at the current price, we've already lost two hundred million!"
"Not to mention labor costs and the loss from long-term storage of medicinal materials!"
The confidant quickly explained.
"What? Tens of thousands of tons of medicinal materials flooding in from outside? How is that possible? I've been sending people to investigate medicinal materials in nearby provinces and cities for the past few days, and there's no stock. How could so much pour in at once? Are you sure it's true?"
Han Cheng'en's mind went blank, and he looked at his confidant, asking again.
"It's absolutely true. I've confirmed it. The medicinal materials are currently being snapped up by all manufacturers. It's estimated that in a short while, these tens of thousands of tons of medicinal materials will start circulating in Jiangbei City, and the prices of medicinal materials will fall further!"
The confidant said with a tearful face, not knowing what to do.
"Who did this? Damn it, this is clearly a declaration of war against our Goryeo conglomerate!"
Han Cheng'en's expression turned extremely cold, and he roared.
"I investigated and found a medicinal materials dealer from Jinling City. He is handling everything and distributing all these medicinal materials to the smaller dealers below!"
The confidant continued.
"Find this person for me! Who gave him the guts to go against our Goryeo conglomerate? I want his entire family dead!"
Han Cheng'en roared angrily.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Han Cheng'en's words, the confidant immediately went to find the medicinal materials dealer.
Two hours later, it was already seven in the morning. They finally found the medicinal materials dealer. However, after inquiring about his background, no one dared to act.
"Young Master Han, it seems we can't touch this medicinal materials dealer. He's connected to the African oil tycoon Gulaheng Deli, and it was Gulaheng Deli who brought in this batch of medicinal materials for resale!"
The confidant's face had turned dark green, and he said to Han Cheng'en with great speechlessness.
"African oil tycoon, Gulaheng Deli?"
"Why would he get involved in this?"
Upon hearing this, Han Cheng'en narrowed his eyes again. With his keen intuition, he realized that this matter was not simple.
"Perhaps Gulaheng Deli saw a business opportunity by chance and just made a fortune in Jiangbei City!"
Han Cheng'en's confidant continued.
"Impossible. I know Gulaheng Deli quite well. He wouldn't be interested in such small amounts of money. His assets can rival our Goryeo conglomerate!"
"Unless he's doing a favor for someone. Could he be helping Lu Yang?"
Thinking of this, Han Cheng'en felt incredulous. The longer he dealt with Lu Yang, the more he realized that this young man in his twenties was unfathomable. Every move he made caught Han Cheng'en off guard and turned defeat into victory.
"Lu Yang?"
"The chairman of Haitong Group?"
"He's just a small boss with a net worth of two to three hundred billion. Why would Gulaheng Deli care about him? How is that possible?"
Han Cheng'en's confidant said in surprise.
"We can't conclude anything yet. You go and investigate this matter thoroughly. I want the results by tonight at the latest, otherwise, you know the consequences."
A hint of killing intent flashed in Han Cheng'en's eyes, making the confidant tremble all over.
"Yes!"
The confidant quickly agreed and left.
Lu Yang also soon received the news, and he was very satisfied with Gulaheng Deli's methods.
"As expected of an oil tycoon, the richest man in Africa!"
Lu Yang couldn't help but praise.
The Wanzihongyuan New Energy Electric Vehicle Company was also developing rapidly, and Haitong Group's business was expanding very quickly. Black Dragon Capital would be hosting a grand banquet tonight, which was a cooperation with a giant from Snow Country. Lu Yang had entrusted this matter to Gulaheng Deli, who clearly stated that he would bring a Snow Country tycoon tonight to discuss cooperation with the person in charge of Black Dragon Capital.
During the rest of the time, Lu Yang would browse Douyin and watch videos. However, with Bai Shumin not around recently, Lu Yang had lost a lot of fun. He couldn't watch Bai Shumin's live streams at night anymore, which was quite boring.
"I wonder how Bai Shumin's matters are going? If she needs any help, she should just call. She's an adult, yet she's still so troublesome!"
Lu Yang sighed in his heart.
"Director Lu, there's an auction tonight at the Guoxing Hotel. They are auctioning rare curios and calligraphy and paintings by famous people. If Director Lu is interested, you can come. The private room has already been arranged!"
Just as Lu Yang was thinking about this, Huang Henei called and informed him of this news.
"Okay, I'll be there on time tonight!"
Lu Yang was quite interested in rare curios and might find some treasures. As for calligraphy and paintings by famous people, they weren't that interesting, and Lu Yang didn't like collecting them.
After all, Lu Yang wanted these treasures to be useful to him, and perhaps there were some magical artifacts among them. Most people nowadays didn't recognize magical artifacts or precious gems. If he could find any, it would be very beneficial for Lu Yang's cultivation.
