Ling Yun knew that Grandpa Ling would definitely agree, so he smiled and spoke with assurance.
"First, I need to purchase a huge amount of medicinal herbs. It's best if they're unprocessed. The rarer and more precious they are, the more I have to get my hands on them …"
Ling Yun needed a huge amount of medicinal herbs for both talismans and alchemy. These had to be prepared in advance and purchased over a long period of time.
"No problem!" Ling Lie knew that Ling Yun's medical skills were amazing. He smiled and nodded without hesitation.
"Grandpa, you can just get Cui Lao to purchase the common Chinese medicine on the market from the Xue Family in Beijing. The Xue Family has their own medicine company in Beijing, as well as in the big and medium-sized cities around Beijing. They are very professional, convenient, and efficient …" Ling Yun smiled.
Ling Yun's words sounded dignified, but in his heart, he wanted to keep the goodies within the family. Miracle Doctor Xue had treated him so well, so naturally, he had to return the favor.
"As long as the Xue Family has it, purchase it all from them. Find a good warehouse and store it. I'll have a use for it when the time comes …"
"That's not a problem. How much do you plan to purchase?" Ling Lie smiled.
"Prepare two hundred million yuan of funds to purchase medicinal herbs!" Ling Yun said seriously.
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked. Ling Yun's generosity was too great. Two hundred million worth of medicinal herbs, ten thousand people eating together, was enough to last them for many years.
"Fourth Brother, no one in our Ling Family knows medicine. Why are you buying so many medicinal herbs? That's a little too much …" Ling Zhen was displeased to hear that Ling Yun was asking for money.
Ling Yun turned his head and looked at Ling Zhen with a faint smile. "Uncle, no one in the Ling Family knew medicine in the past. But now, someone does. I know it. I'm the only successor of the Immortal Physician Sect!"
This was the first time Ling Yun revealed his identity since he came to Beijing. The only disciple of the Immortal Physician Sect was a very intimidating title.
"Immortal Physician Sect? Why haven't I heard of it … "
"Yeah, I've only heard of the Miracle Physician Valley. Could it be another hidden sect?"
"No wonder Fourth Brother is so powerful. Just from the word 'Immortal', it can't be any weaker than the Miracle Physician Valley …"
After all, Ling Yong, Ling Feng, and Ling Li were young and couldn't hide their thoughts.
Ling Zhen was also shocked. So Ling Yun was from the Immortal Physician Sect. However, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he could not figure out when such a hidden sect had appeared in Ling Yun Hua Xia. Thus, he pretended to be interested and asked, "Immortal Physician Sect? Forgive me for being ignorant, but I wonder where your sect's mountain gate is located? "
Ling Zhen naturally wanted to find out more about Ling Yun's background. After all, Ling Yun was too mysterious. He was so powerful that Ling Zhen felt uneasy.
He felt that the seat under his butt was starting to sway again.
"Uncle, didn't I say that I'm the only disciple of the Immortal Physician Sect? My master has already passed on his mantle to me. Wherever I am, the Immortal Physician Sect will naturally be there …" Ling Yun said with a smile.
Ling Yun's words were as good as not saying anything at all. Ling Yun's casual words blocked Ling Zhen's line of questioning.
Ling Zhen was even more displeased. He put on the airs of the head of the family and frowned slightly. "Even if that's the case, what's the use of buying so many medicinal herbs and wasting so much money at home?"
Ling Yun was amused. "Of course there's a use for that. You don't have to worry about it, Uncle. As for wasting money … I'm buying medicinal herbs, of course I won't waste the Ling Family's money. I have my own money …"
With that, Ling Yun took out a cheque book and wrote a cheque of five hundred million yuan. He handed it to Ling Lie respectfully and said proudly, "Grandpa, this is a cashier's note from the Industrial and Commercial Bank. There's a total of five hundred million yuan. Two hundred million will be used to buy medicinal herbs. I have other uses for the remaining three hundred million."
Apart from Ling Lie and Cui Lao, everyone else was dumbfounded. They didn't expect Ling Yun to have so much money. He took out five hundred million in one go, yet he did it so casually as though it was a game.
Ling Yun smiled and didn't even look at Ling Zhen. This slap in the face was crisp and clear.
Ling Zhen's face was a little red. He was extremely embarrassed and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Ling Lie frowned slightly. He could tell from the fact that Ling Yun didn't kowtow to Ling Zhen just now that Ling Yun and Ling Zhen seemed to be on different sides. No matter what, Ling Zhen was the current head of the Ling Family, and Ling Lie had already decided that Ling Yun would be the next head of the Ling Family. If the two of them were to hold back, there would be problems sooner or later.
However, this wasn't the time to talk about this. Ling Lie didn't take the cheque from Ling Yun. He looked at Ling Yun lovingly and said, "My good grandson, Grandpa knows that you're rich, but tonight is the first time you've returned to our Ling Family. Not only did you save our entire family, but you've also brought so much hope to our Ling Family. Our Ling Family only has this much money now, and we don't have any gifts to give you. If we were to ask you to pay for some medicinal herbs, wouldn't we become a laughing stock if word got out?"
"Take back the cheque. No matter what it is, Grandpa will do it for you!" Ling Lie's words were unquestionable.
Ling Yue also spoke up. "Fourth Brother, Second Uncle, please listen to your Grandpa on this matter. We definitely can't let you pay for the medicinal herbs!"
Ling Yue had already made up his mind to stand on Ling Yun's side no matter what. Even if he angered his big brother, he would accept it. Ling Yun glanced at Ling Yue and revealed a bright smile.
Ling Yun looked at Ling Yue and flashed him a bright smile. He insisted, "Second Uncle, I'm quite well-off recently. There's no use for this money in my hands. Since I have nothing better to do, why don't I use it to increase the strength of our Ling Family? We're all one family, so there's no need to say such things …"
After saying that, Ling Yun turned his head and forcefully stuffed the cheque into Ling Lie's hands. He smiled and said, "Grandpa, keep this money well. I still have other things to do!"
Ling Lie had no choice but to accept Ling Yun's cheque. He smiled bitterly and said, "Child, Grandpa really can't do anything about you. Tell me, what else do you want?"
Ling Yun said, "Secondly, even though I have six pharmaceutical companies in Jiangnan Province, distant water can't quench our present thirst. Furthermore, we'll be purchasing medicinal herbs in the long term. Therefore, I want to purchase a medicinal herb company as soon as possible. That way, it'll be convenient and justifiable. Grandpa, what do you think?"
This time, Ling Lie decided. "Alright, that's easy. Your Second Uncle knows some leaders in the pharmaceutical industry. If you want to establish a company, we'll do it. If you want to purchase it, we'll do it. I'll leave this matter to your Second Uncle. Is there a problem?"
Ling Yue chuckled. "Father, I understand what Ling Yun is trying to say. In my opinion, we should just acquire it directly. We'll acquire it fully. The factory, equipment, vehicles, and employees are all ready-made. Even though it will cost a little more, we can use it after we buy it …"
Ling Yun chuckled. "Thank you, Second Uncle. That's what I think too."
Ling Yue smiled and nodded. "Fourth Brother, do you have any other requirements for this medicinal herb company?"
Ling Yun smiled. "Yes, but there are only two conditions. The factory has to be big, and the warehouse has to be big enough!"
Ling Yue smiled and expressed that there was no problem. He promised Ling Yun that everything would be settled within a week.
Ling Yun was rich. Even though the Ling Family was in decline, they were still one of the seven big families in Beijing. They still had some connections in various aspects. With money and connections, it would be a piece of cake for them to spend a large sum of money to purchase a company.
After this matter was settled, Ling Yun immediately brought up the third matter.
"Grandpa, I still need to purchase a large metal smelting factory in Beijing and a coal company. What do you think?"
Ling Yun left Qingshui City before he could purchase the metal smelting factory. Of course, he had to complete his plan and make sufficient preparations for his future forging.
Who knew that when Ling Yun said this, everyone in the Ling Family, from Ling Lie to Ling Xiu and Ling Yong, would turn gloomy. No one spoke for a moment.
Why? It was because the non-ferrous metal and coal companies were under the Ling Family's control eighteen years ago. It was a pity that they had been taken away because of the incident eighteen years ago. Who in the Ling Family wouldn't be gloomy?
"Sigh …" Ling Lie let out a long sigh. "Grandpa promises you, but the pollution in Beijing is very serious now. The country is trying to crack down on these companies. Therefore, there aren't any such companies in Beijing. Even if there are, they are all state-owned enterprises. We can only purchase from the major cities nearby …"
There was another point that Ling Lie didn't say on the spot. The Ling Family had been in decline for eighteen years. If they were to suddenly purchase a medicinal herb company, a non-ferrous metal company, and a coal company, it would definitely alarm the other families. This would be very disadvantageous to the Ling Family.
With Ling Yun's intelligence, he naturally knew why the members of the Ling Family didn't look too good. He also understood why Ling Lie sighed deeply. Seeing that Ling Lie had finally agreed, he smiled proudly. "Grandpa, you don't have to be upset about anything. You don't have to worry either. I will take back everything that the Ling Family has lost in the past eighteen years!"
Ling Yun's words shocked everyone in the room. It was like a thunder in spring, shocking everyone in the room!
Two words: Domineering!
Absolute domineering, arrogant, and domineering!
Everything that they had lost would be taken back!
Ling Lie's body shook violently. Ling Zhen's heart trembled. Ling Yue smiled calmly. Cui Lao's clothes were drenched in tears. Ling Xiu and the rest felt their blood boiling!
Thinking, looking forward, holding back, waiting for this day. How long had he waited?
Eighteen years!
Using a popular saying, they had waited until the flowers had withered! They had already thanked him eighteen times!
The Ling Family's day of pride was just around the corner!
Ling Lie was stunned for a long time. He stood up abruptly and released the powerful aura of a Xiantian Realm Level Eight expert. His clothes fluttered in the wind, and he clenched his fists tightly. After staring at Ling Yun for a while, he suddenly laughed out loud!
"Good child, with you in the Ling Family, Grandpa's heart is satisfied! Alright, I'll do as you say. However, where are we going to buy these two companies? "
Ling Yun's figure flashed and appeared on the wall of Ling Lie's room. There was a huge map of Huaxia hanging on the wall. He smiled and pointed casually!
He said confidently, "Zhangjiakou City!"
