The intention behind such actions was, naturally, self-evident!
While other businessmen would have certainly lost their temper on the spot, Er Zhu remained calm.
"You can't acquire my assets. On the contrary, I have already acquired all of your Japanese pharmacies and Chinese medicine factories!"
Just when Xiao Tian Ci Lang thought Er Zhu was merely feigning composure, he was met with Er Zhu's audacious declaration.
This statement was so outrageous that not only Xiao Tian Ci Lang, but even Li Mei, who had just come downstairs, felt Er Zhu was boasting.
Although Er Zhu was the richest man in the capital, there were hundreds of Japanese businessmen engaged in the pharmaceutical industry in the capital!
Furthermore, they were all scions of prominent Japanese families!
"Haha, President Wang, aren't you afraid of bragging yourself into a coma? Let me tell you, the total assets of Japanese businessmen involved in pharmaceutical projects in the capital amount to hundreds of billions. You… Hahaha…"
As Xiao Tian Ci Lang's taunt echoed, he was eventually laughing so hard he couldn't speak.
Li Mei's face turned red as she sat on the steps. She wanted to defend Er Zhu, but this time she was truly speechless.
"Mm, there are indeed hundreds of billions."
Facing the mockery, Er Zhu remained as calm as ever. He glanced at the reports from his executives on his phone and nodded slightly.
Ring ring…
Just as Xiao Tian Ci Lang was about to mock him again, a shrill ringtone interrupted his thoughts.
"Mr. Xiao Tian, this is bad! All my pharmacies have been acquired by Wang Er Zhu's subordinates!"
As soon as Xiao Tian Ci Lang answered the call, he heard an anxious voice from the other end.
"What?" Xiao Tian Ci Lang's face instantly darkened, and he looked at Er Zhu in disbelief.
He had initially believed Er Zhu was spewing nonsense to save face, but he never expected it to be true!
"Yes, I asked for an exorbitant price, but he readily produced the money and bought them outright!"
Before Xiao Tian Ci Lang could ask further, the other party's response astonished him even more!
"Alright, I understand. I have another call coming in. We'll discuss your matter later!"
Xiao Tian Ci Lang wanted to say more, but suddenly his phone beeped. Before the other party could finish speaking, he had already hung up.
"Mr. Xiao Tian, all my Chinese medicine factories have been taken by Wang Er Zhu. What is going on?"
As soon as he answered the call, the urgency in the other person's voice was even greater than the previous one. If possible, he wished he could crawl out of the phone.
"How should I know? I'm not Wang Er Zhu!"
Seeing that another businessman's company had also been acquired, Xiao Tian Ci Lang grew impatient.
They had intended to acquire Wang Er Zhu's assets, only to be preempted by the other party!
Clack, clack, clack…
Right after hanging up the phone, Xiao Tian Ci Lang received numerous messages. These were pleas for help from Japanese businessmen whose companies had been acquired.
On the stairs, Li Mei's small mouth was agape as she gazed at Er Zhu on the sofa with shock and admiration.
She knew Er Zhu was rich, but she hadn't realized he was this rich!
With his own might, he had acquired the assets of Japanese businessmen in the capital!
This… was this the legendary wealth that could rival a nation?
Li Mei propped her chin on her hand, finding Er Zhu more likable the more she looked at him. If she could, she would have rushed to him right now!
"Wang Er Zhu, don't get too arrogant! We Japanese businessmen are not poorer than you. It's just that our money is scattered all over the world. Only country bumpkins like you keep all your money within your own country!"
Xiao Tian Ci Lang's eyes were full of embarrassment. He pointed at Er Zhu furiously and roared. Just as he was about to leave, Er Zhu's phone notification chimed.
"Master, the largest Chinese medicine factory in Japan has been successfully acquired!"
"President, the largest Chinese medicine factory in Korea has been successfully acquired!"
"Master, the largest Chinese medicine factory in White Country has been successfully acquired!"
…
These astonishing messages were like slaps, fiercely striking Xiao Tian Ci Lang's face.
It was only then that he realized Er Zhu's strength was beyond his imagination!
"I'm doing this so that everyone in the world can buy the Muscle-Regenerating Paste. I believe that as courteous Japanese businessmen, you wouldn't mind, would you?"
Seeing Xiao Tian Ci Lang's flushed face, Er Zhu smiled slightly and turned the tables on him.
"I…"
Xiao Tian Ci Lang wanted to question him, but for the sake of Japanese businessmen's dignity, he could only remain silent.
Moreover, he did not yet know Wang Er Zhu's true capabilities, so now was certainly not the time to confront him!
"Wang Er Zhu, you won't be arrogant forever! I will defeat you with the Beauty Cream!"
Just as Xiao Tian Ci Lang was about to leave, he suddenly remembered the Beauty Cream he had developed. He glared fiercely at Er Zhu and, after uttering these words, stormed away.
However, Er Zhu didn't even spare him a glance, nor did he seem to have heard what he said.
"Er Zhu, you are truly amazing! You defeated all the Japanese businessmen in the capital by yourself!"
After Xiao Tian Ci Lang left, Li Mei eagerly rushed down the stairs and hugged Er Zhu tightly, an inexplicable sense of pride surging within her.
"It's alright, Xiao Mei. You stay put for now; I have work to do."
Li Mei pouted and was about to kiss him when Er Zhu pushed her aside. Seeing Er Zhu act like this, Li Mei was both angry and anxious.
This Wang Er Zhu, despite being from a wealthy family, was a super straight man in her eyes!
"Then you continue with your work. I'll go back upstairs and take another nap."
Li Mei took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said this before heading upstairs.
Watching Li Mei's huffy retreating back, Er Zhu scratched the back of his head in confusion. He could sense Li Mei was angry, but why was she angry?
Alas, women's minds were truly complex, more so than Chinese medicine or Feng Shui!
Er Zhu shook his head in resignation and continued to work diligently. The River God in his mind sighed helplessly.
This kid's intelligence was getting higher and higher, but his emotional intelligence was becoming increasingly lower…
Meanwhile, in Xiao Tian Ci Lang's villa, the atmosphere was extremely tense.
More than a dozen Japanese businessmen clenched their fists. Although they were resentful, faced with the immensely powerful Wang Er Zhu, they could only endure it!
"Mr. Xiao Tian, could you please ask Mr. Xiao Tian to intervene? If the Xiao Tian family leads the way, I am willing to follow you to the death!"
"That's right, that Wang Er Zhu is too much of a bully! We proud Japanese businessmen have never suffered such humiliation!"
"Exactly! Does he think he's the only one with money? Truly arrogant to the extreme!"
…
The more the Japanese businessmen thought about it, the more indignant they became. They rose one after another to protest, their eyes burning with anger!
All their pharmacies and Chinese medicine factories had been acquired by Wang Er Zhu. That was the fruit of their labor for over a decade!
Some, unable to bear their anger any longer, were even preparing to hire Japanese ninjas to assassinate Er Zhu in the capital!
Just as Xiao Tian Ci Lang was about to say something, his phone suddenly rang…
