"Understood. For Baozhi, we'll focus exclusively on beauty and wellness products."
"Tianzi Group has eight subsidiaries. The managers and I have been discussing the possibility of reorganizing them into three new, complementary enterprises."
Tianzi Group's annual revenue is three hundred billion yuan, with a profit of thirty to forty billion yuan. Its overall strength is considerable. Lin Ziyi's plan is to consolidate the eight companies into three. Specifically, Taichuan Pharmaceutical will focus on the research and development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular drugs; Kangdexin Pharmaceutical will primarily engage in the research and development of drugs for diabetes, kidney disease, and other conditions; and finally, Chenhe Pharmaceutical will focus on developing low-profit basic drugs and advanced foreign generic drugs.
Ye Tian listened to Lin Ziyi's plan and found it agreeable. "Alright, I approve."
After lunch, Ye Tian drove to the Fu family's residence to treat the elders.
Upon arriving at the Fu family's home, Fu Ning and Fu Kang were at the entrance to greet him. Inside the main gate, the Fu family patriarch was also waiting, smiling. "Mr. Ye, thank you for gracing the Fu family with your presence."
"Patriarch Fu, you are too kind," Ye Tian replied.
Entering the living room, Ye Tian saw three men, all over eighty years old, seated there. Each had two or three people standing behind them, presumably their descendants.
Fu Kang introduced them to Ye Tian, "Mr. Ye, this is Elder Yao, this is Elder Song, and this is Elder Xin."
The background and influence of these three elders were second only to the Fu family. They were all prominent figures, though their influence was more in the shadows than in the open.
By relation, Fu Kang would refer to these three as grandfathers.
After exchanging pleasantries, Ye Tian proceeded to examine each of the three men. Each had his own ailments, and once he had a clear understanding, he called Fu Kang into another room.
Fu Kang eagerly asked, "Leader, how are they?"
"All three have some underlying conditions, but primarily it's due to old age, a decline in vital energy and blood, and their lifespan is nearing its end. However, I can provide them with some elixirs to extend their lives."
Fu Kang's eyes lit up. "Leader, how much longer can they live?"
"They can live for more than ten years, and if their condition is good, they could live past a hundred."
Fu Kang was overjoyed. "That's wonderful! As long as these three grandfathers are alive, they will be a great asset to our Tian Alliance!"
Ye Tian nodded. "I'll give them a simple treatment shortly, and then you can administer the elixirs to them."
Fu Kang smiled. "Excellent! Leader, the reason I'm helping these three families is because they can influence my father's and my brother's advancement."
Ye Tian nodded. "That's a good thing. If your brother advances further, his influence will be no less than your father's."
"Indeed. But it's mainly for my father. With the support of these three families, my father can place more personnel in various government departments."
Later, Ye Tian spent another half hour treating each of the three men before taking his leave.
Upon returning to Jiuhua Mountain Villa, he found Su Lingxi waiting for him.
"Tian-di, Zhang Longsheng has arrived in the capital. I want him to come up the mountain; he has something to discuss with you."
"Zhang Longsheng is Sister Xi's person, which means he's one of us. Let him come."
"He's in trouble, and this is something only Tian-di can help him with."
"I will help him with whatever I can."
After a brief chat, Zhang Longsheng's car drove up the mountain. It was an armored vehicle worth hundreds of millions, weighing over three tons and over six meters long. This type of vehicle was the same model used by Middle Eastern royalty.
As the car stopped in front of the courtyard, Zhang Longsheng alighted with two escorts, while the others remained in the vehicle.
Upon entering, Zhang Longsheng bowed deeply to Su Lingxi and then addressed Ye Tian, "Mr. Ye."
Ye Tian smiled. "Brother Zhang, please have a seat."
After settling in the living room, Ye Tian said, "Sister Xi mentioned you had something to discuss with me?"
Zhang Longsheng nodded. "Sir, two influential figures in the court are targeting me."
Zhang Longsheng, known as the King of the Southwest, achieved his current success and status not just through his fighting prowess but also due to the backing of powerful individuals. If he claimed someone was targeting him, he was in grave danger.
"What about your previous patron?" Ye Tian inquired.
Zhang Longsheng gave a wry smile. "That patron has fallen and can barely protect himself. Therefore, I am in a precarious position, liable to disappear at any moment."
