Chapter 173 Threat

After everyone sat down, Chu Yang and Jiang Yuntao found a seat in the corner and listened quietly to the conversation in the hall.

Lu Guangxiong sat down in his seat and asked straight to the point: "Lao Jiang, what you did this time is a bit unkind!"

Jiang Weiguo put down the tea cup and said calmly: "I don't understand what you are saying. What is wrong with my Jiang family that you need to bring so many people to hold you accountable?"

"Stop making excuses!"

Lu Guangxiong slapped the table and shouted: "My Lu family started with elixirs, but you took advantage of my unpreparedness and secretly used body-building pills to seize the market share of elixirs. This kind of behavior is abhorrent and simply outrageous!"

"That's right, when we settle down in Jiangzhou, we don't mess with each other. Now that you're interfering in the elixir industry, you've crossed the line!"

Zhao Tiancheng and the Lu family were on the same page, so he naturally wanted to support him. When the other people saw this, they couldn't help but echo a few words.

These people are all respectable people. Jiang Weiguo was outraged by the public, but he did not feel any shame. Instead, he asked with a cold face:

"Everyone, since ancient times, doing business has always been about mutual consent. The elixirs sold by my Jiang family are very effective. People are free to buy them if they want to. Could it be that because you can't sell the elixirs, you won't allow me to buy them anymore?" For sale?”

"Who discussed the efficacy of the medicine with you?"

Lu Guangxiong blushed and said sophistry: "What we are discussing now is the issue of industry rules. In Jiangzhou, if someone wants to get involved in a new industry, he must go to various companies to worship the dock. This is the most basic respect. Since you have refined Why don't you come to discuss the new drug with me? If it turns into vicious competition, won't both parties suffer?"

These words are indeed high-sounding, but if Jiang Weiguo had said it first, I am afraid that he would have been suppressed by the Lu family immediately. Maybe Lu Guangxiong would also use direct and brutal methods to nip the Jiang family's elixir business in the bud!

Regarding this issue, Jiang Weiguo was not prepared to quibble, but just nodded and said: "What the Lu family leader said is that this matter was my negligence, and I will pay attention to it in the future."

After hearing that he had given in, Lu Guangxiong and others were waiting for his next words. However, Jiang Weiguo refused to speak anymore, only sipping tea from time to time.

Lu Guangxiong cursed in his heart, Jiang Weiguo's attitude must be because his family's elixir business has gained momentum, and now he is confident and does not take his family seriously at all!

"Jiang Weiguo, let me make it clear. The purpose of my visit this time is to get you out of the elixir industry. Please give me an answer today!" Lu Guangxiong was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly stated his purpose.

This was Chi Guoguo's threat. Jiang Weiguo shouted angrily: "Lu, you are a little too arrogant. It's not you who have the final say in Jiangzhou. If you want my Jiang family to withdraw from the elixir industry, you don't want me to." Weigh yourself!"

"Don't be excited. If you quit the elixir industry, I won't let you suffer. If you quit the several businesses I took away from you, I will give them back twice as much. From now on, our two families will live in peace. You see how?"

Lu Guangxiong made conditions.

Everyone looked at Jiang Weiguo to see what his opinion was.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Weiguo shook his head: "This is impossible. The Jiang family has spent countless manpower and material resources in setting up the elixir industry. These costs cannot be recouped no matter what."

Lu Guangxiong had expected it, so he suppressed his anger and said again: "In this case, let's find a compromise plan. I am willing to use any of my business except pills in exchange for the formula of the body-building pill in your hand. In this way, we can always Is that okay?”

This condition is very attractive. Since the rise of the Lu family, it has begun to deploy in the real estate and financial industries. Now, in these two industries in the Jiangnan region, the Lu family is considered to be the leader.

If the Jiang family chooses one of them, it will be equivalent to directly becoming the industry leader in the Jiangnan region!

There was another silence in the hall.

If it was for money, maybe Jiang Weiguo would really consider it, but with the Jiang family's development to this day, what they lack is not money, but their own influence.

Since the rise of the Lu family, the Jiang family's position has been very passive. However, with the body-building elixir in hand, the Lu family can be said to be a unique existence. The Jiang family has no way to target it. Now it finally has the opportunity to restrict the Lu family. , it’s strange that Jiang Weiguo is willing to give up!

After a while, Jiang Weiguo shook his head and said, "I don't want to, but I can't make the decision in this elixir business!"

Lu Guangxiong said displeased: "Jiang Weiguo, I am here to talk to you sincerely. If you say you can't make the decision, are you deliberately trying to shirk it?"

Jiang Weiguo looked at Ling Yunzi in embarrassment, hesitating how to answer this question.

Lu Guangxiong and others also followed his gaze and saw Ling Yunzi standing up and saying: "Dear family heads, in fact, the body-building pills sold by the Jiang family are refined by me, Fuyun Temple. It is not because the old Taoist deliberately wants to steal business. It’s really a last resort, please don’t embarrass me for the sake of my Fuyun Temple.”

The body-building pill is the elixir provided by Fuyunguan?

Lu Guangxiong and others' hearts sank. Previously, they thought Ling Yunzi was just here to help, but they didn't expect that this business was actually owned by Fuyunguan. Now it's really a bit tricky!

Everyone murmured a few words, and Lu Guangxiong spoke up: "Taoist Priest, since Fuyun Temple can refine such powerful elixirs, why do you have to go far away to cooperate with the Jiang family? You know, my Lu family deals in elixirs." The business has been in business for more than 20 years, and all channels have been laid in place. If you choose to cooperate with our Lu family, the benefits you will receive will be several times greater than those of the Jiang family!”

After hearing this, Chu Yang felt that Lu Guangxiong's appetite was too big. If he got the body-building pills, the Lu family would probably become the overlord of the Jiangnan region overnight.

Ling Yunzi remained silent. Lu Guangxiong thought that the conditions were not generous enough, so he said:

"Master, if you are willing to transfer the pills to my Lu family for management, we will only take 10% of the profit, and the rest will belong to Fuyun Temple. At the same time, I am willing to transfer the real estate or financial industry to the Jiang family as compensation to avoid embarrassment for the Taoist master. This condition should be worth considering, right?"

After hearing this, Zhao Tiancheng and several others were very shocked. In order to reach an agreement, Lu Guangxiong had invested a lot of money and was willing to give up even his main business!

I thought that this condition was enough to attract Ling Yunzi and Jiang Weiguo. However, when Lu Guangxiong secretly observed the expressions of the two, he found that they had no reaction at all, and even their expressions did not change at all.

"Is it because I didn't offer enough?" Lu Guangxiong also thought about it. If he adopted his own method, the benefits for the Jiang family and Fuyun Temple would definitely be much higher.

In this plan, the only one who suffered was the Lu family. After all, the 10% profit could only offset the operating costs at most, which could be said to be basically no profit.

The only reason why Lu Guangxiong was willing to put forward this condition was to obtain the right to sell the body-building pills in order to continue to maintain the monopoly position in the pill market, so as to continue to increase the influence in Jiangzhou.

This approach is completely in line with the instructions from above. If it is handled well, the Lu family will surpass the Jiang family in status in a subtle way!
