Back in his room, Lin Xiao Tian did not go to sleep immediately. Instead, he took out the millennium ginseng he had saved and began to continue absorbing its medicinal properties.
Compared to yesterday, Lin Xiao Tian absorbed the millennium ginseng at a much faster rate this time. In just one night, he had absorbed more than a dozen roots. At this pace, he would be able to fully absorb the entire ginseng in another week.
Thus, without realizing it, morning had arrived.
Lin Xiao Tian dozed off in his room for a while until Qin Yu Xiang called him for breakfast.
Although he hadn't slept all night, Lin Xiao Tian was actually resting while meditating. Even now, being called by Qin Yu Xiang, he was still full of energy.
"You're awake! Come and have breakfast." Qin Yu Xiang's gentle voice echoed.
Today, Qin Yu Xiang was wearing a short-sleeved top and shark shorts. Combined with her voluptuous figure, she looked incredibly sexy.
"Sister Yu Xiang, you look so beautiful today."
"You brat, is your mouth smeared with honey today?"
"I don't know, do you want to try it?"
"Try what?"
Qin Yu Xiang didn't react immediately.
But in the next second, she felt a soft touch on her lips.
"You scoundrel!" Qin Yu Xiang cursed, but she didn't push Lin Xiao Tian away. Last night, she had already agreed to let Lin Xiao Tian kiss and hug her.
Seeing that Qin Yu Xiang wasn't resisting, Lin Xiao Tian became even bolder.
The two embraced for a while until Qin Yu Xiang reminded him, and Lin Xiao Tian reluctantly let go.
After a simple breakfast, Lin Xiao Tian resumed his alchemy task as usual. After absorbing the medicinal properties of the millennium ginseng for the past two days, his qi circulation was now much smoother.
Thanks to this, he could now consistently refine twenty Firming Yuan Pills at a time!
If it weren't for the limited conditions at home forcing him to use these crude tools, Lin Xiao Tian guaranteed he could refine even more.
"By the way, the book mentioned a method for making an alchemy furnace. If I could make one, wouldn't refining Firming Yuan Pills be a piece of cake from now on?" Lin Xiao Tian suddenly remembered.
With that thought, Lin Xiao Tian immediately pulled out a blueprint and began to sketch on it.
In a short while, a design for an alchemy furnace was in Lin Xiao Tian's hands.
Lin Xiao Tian sent the blueprint to Liang Xu, asking him to help find someone to custom-make it.
After doing this, Lin Xiao Tian took out the Rejuvenating Grass to dry.
At the current pace, in another two to three days, the Rejuvenating Grass would be ready to be used for making beauty cream.
As Lin Xiao Tian was busy, his phone suddenly vibrated. Lin Xiao Tian opened it to see a bank deposit notification.
"Your account ending in 626 has received ¥31,000,000. Your balance..."
Lin Xiao Tian counted. Tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands. A total of thirty-one million. It seemed the funds from the auction house had arrived.
After confirming that the funds were correct, Lin Xiao Tian calmly put away his phone and continued with his work.
Anyone else would have been jumping with joy by now.
But Lin Xiao Tian knew this was just the beginning!
With his abilities, earning this much money again in the future would be absolutely effortless!
Around noon, Lin Xiao Tian received a call from Wei Long.
"Xiao Tian, I've already asked around for you. Xu You's family company is indeed in trouble and urgently needs money."
"They had secured investment from Cao Yun Tian and others, but after the KTV incident, Cao Yun Tian directly announced he was withdrawing his investment."
"Xu You's company was already preparing for its IPO, but this incident directly caused a cash flow shortage. Many existing shareholders saw this and started to withdraw their investments, and the bank also decided not to continue lending them money."
"In short, Xiao Tian, if they don't get the money now, the company will completely collapse!"
Listening to Wei Long's explanation, Lin Xiao Tian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "Fatty, you're amazing! You can even find out the financial situation of their company?"
Logically, a company in such a critical situation would usually try to conceal its financial status. Otherwise, if everyone knew the company was on the verge of collapse, who would be willing to invest?
But Wei Long had managed to uncover their predicament, which made Lin Xiao Tian give him a thumbs-up.
"Hah! Xiao Tian, don't praise me. Besides my own brilliance, the more important reason is that this Xu You is incredibly foolish. I just said you were interested in investing, and Xu You blabbered everything out." Wei Long said proudly.
"Could it be that Xu You deliberately said that?" Lin Xiao Tian was suspicious.
"No!" Wei Long replied with great confidence.
"You're so sure?" Lin Xiao Tian was slightly surprised.
"I've investigated their company's situation and asked employees. In comparison, Xu You's account sounds even worse. Moreover, a company with a net profit of over ten million a year is now reporting a debt of over ten million. And they are asking you for over ten million. If they were trying to scam someone, they should have asked for a larger amount!"
Wei Long's reasoning was sound, which further increased Lin Xiao Tian's trust in Wei Long's professionalism.
"Fatty, what do you think... is Xu You's company worth investing in?" Lin Xiao Tian asked tentatively.
"Xiao Tian, to be honest, I can't guarantee I'm right, but based on my analysis, it's worth investing!"
"How so?" Lin Xiao Tian continued to ask.
"Firstly, their company is facing cash flow problems simply because they were too eager to expand. If Cao Yun Tian had continued his investment, his company would definitely have succeeded in going public."
"Another point is that their management team is quite capable. Although Xu You is a useless second-generation heir, Xu Chang is truly a remarkable person. Since he took over the company, its profits have been soaring year after year."
"Can you imagine that before Xu Chang took over, they were just a company with an annual profit of tens of thousands?"
Wei Long spoke eloquently on the phone.
Lin Xiao Tian pondered.
He would have to contend with the Jiang Group in the future. Having one or two industries in Jiang City would undoubtedly save him a lot of trouble.
"Fatty, I want to acquire shares in Xu You's company. Can you help me?"
Wei Long on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment.
"Xiao Tian, this is such a big matter, do you trust me?"
"If I didn't trust you, why would I specifically tell you about it?"
"Alright! Xiao Tian, don't worry, I will do my best to handle this and ensure you get control of their company at the lowest possible price!"
"Then I'll trouble you!" Lin Xiao Tian smiled.
They chatted for a while longer. Lin Xiao Tian gave Wei Long Liang Xu's phone number, telling him to contact Liang Xu if there were any urgent matters, and then hung up.
The moment Lin Xiao Tian hung up the phone, he suddenly noticed a sneaky figure at the window.
"Ermao? What are you hiding there for?" Lin Xiao Tian patted his head.
"Shhh! Xiao Tian, be quiet, don't let anyone find out." Li Ermao glanced around cautiously.
"Playing hide-and-seek again?" Lin Xiao Tian rolled his eyes.
"No!" Li Ermao said urgently, "I have something very important to tell you!"
