"Of course it's for exorbitant profits!"

Lü Tianfang spoke with conviction, "Everyone in the business world knows that monopoly is the most profitable. They acquire pharmaceutical companies to monopolize all the sales channels for goods. Once their products are launched, won't they be able to set whatever prices they want without any competitive pressure?"

Lu Wenqiang seemed to understand somewhat, looking at Lü Tianfang doubtfully, "You mean, Mr. Lü..."

"Right now, all the pharmaceutical companies in Zhou Yi District have been acquired by our Sanzhu Commerce Alliance. We have also acquired one-third of the pharmaceutical companies in Yizhou Province. And now, Yi Chen wants to negotiate with us for the pharmaceutical companies we hold."

Lü Tianfang's face darkened, "If it was just a business acquisition, we wouldn't fear at all. But they've declared that if the pharmaceutical companies aren't sold to them, they will cut off our supply, causing all pharmaceutical factories to stop providing medicine to us, and even use some coercive methods to force our pharmaceutical companies out of business. This is simply bullying too much."

"Mr. Lü, it seems like this doesn't really concern me?"

Lu Wenqiang vaguely understood something and pretended to be confused, "Our Lu Family is just a small commercial household in Shuqing City, we cannot contend with the Yi Chen Corporation."

"Mr. Lu, as I said, if it were solely a business merger, we wouldn't fear at all. What we fear is them using coercive tactics, such as... using the forces of the Martial Dao World along the river to pressure us!"

Lü Tianfang said proudly, "If it were in Zhou Yi District, our Sanzhu Commerce Alliance wouldn't fear them using martial arts tactics, but in Yizhou Province, we have to admit, their martial arts connections are stronger than ours. Therefore, I would like to ask for Mr. Lu's assistance."

"Mr. Lü, I'm afraid I can't help you. Our Lu Family is merely a commercial family without martial arts connections." Lu Wenqiang gently shook his head.

"Mr. Lu, you are being too modest. If your family had no martial arts connections, how did you manage to cultivate to the Semi Innate realm?" Lü Tianfang said with deep implication.

"What? He is a Semi Innate expert?!" Chen Gang's complexion changed as he exclaimed.

Lu Wenqiang furrowed his brow and sized Lü Tianfang up.

Buzz!

A powerful aura emerged from Lü Tianfang's body, briefly flashing.

"Innate Grandmaster?!"

Lu Wenqiang's face changed with astonishment as he looked at Lü Tianfang. Then his expression turned stern and he spoke somewhat angrily, "Is Mr. Lü threatening me?"

"No no no! Of course not!"

Lü Tianfang waved his hand and lightly chuckled, "I just wanted to ask Mr. Lu to introduce us."

Lu Wenqiang slightly narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Lü Tianfang, his eyes showing a hint of suspicion.

"Mr. Lu, there's no need for euphemisms before the wise, is there?"

Lü Tianfang spoke with a smile, "Yi Wu Mountain, Grief Cliff, and below Grief Cliff, Unchanging Valley! Isn't the seaside resort that you manage a property of Unchanging Valley?"

"How do you know that?" Lu Wenqiang's face darkened as he spoke coldly.

"I can't tell Mr. Lu that, but I've come with the utmost sincerity!"

Lü Tianfang continued persuasively, "I think Mr. Lu doesn't need me to introduce the distribution of martial arts forces on Flame Dragon Continent. In places along the river where martial arts family forces dominate, as a Martial Sect, Unchanging Valley must not be having an easy life. Just look at the Five Great Families Along the River, none of them are from Unchanging Valley."

"This time I came to ask Mr. Lu to introduce us to the elders of Unchanging Valley. With such a big move by Yi Chen Corporation, they must have significant intentions. As long as we can keep this one-third of the pharmaceutical companies in Yizhou Province in our hands, we can surely secure a substantial profit from Yi Chen Corporation. Then, I will leave 10% of the profits to Mr. Lu's Lu Family. What do you say?"

Lu Wenqiang's brow furrowed slightly, and he spoke faintly, "Unchanging Valley generally does not interact with other martial arts forces. It might not be easy for them to make an enemy of others for your sake."

"That's not something Mr. Lu needs to worry about. We will naturally find a way to make them agree. We just need Mr. Lu to introduce us and take us to Unchanging Valley, just this one trip can secure you 10% of the profits. Mr. Lu, it's a guaranteed win for you."

"This... I can't decide alone, I need to report this."

Lu Wenqiang hesitated for a moment and then spoke softly.

"Alright, I'll wait for Mr. Lu's good news." Lü Tianfang spoke confidently.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Lü."

Lu Wenqiang softly instructed and then rose to leave the private room.

After leaving Lü Tianfang's private room, Lu Wenqiang headed toward Room No. 1. This matter indeed wasn't something he could decide on his own, as Unchanging Valley was not a place just anyone could enter.

Knock Knock Knock!

Arriving at the door of Room No. 1, Lu Wenqiang knocked on the room's door.

"Come in!"

A shout came from inside the room, and Lu Wenqiang pushed the door open and walked in.

You Ye eyed Lu Wenqiang curiously, asking softly, "What's the matter?"

"Miss You Ye, Mr. Shen, there's something I need to ask you both about."

Lu Wenqiang entered, shut the door behind him, approached the table, and bowed to You Ye and her brother.

"What is it?"

You Ye asked, puzzled.

Lu Wenqiang glanced at Jiang Chen and hesitated slightly.

"There's no need to hide anything from Mr. Jiang." You Ye frowned slightly and spoke sternly.

Taken aback by You Ye's slight displeasure, Lu Wenqiang hurriedly said, "It's like this, the people from Sanzhu Commerce Alliance in Zhou Yi District found me. They said they want our family to help confront Yi Chen Corporation."

"They want our help to confront Yi Chen Corporation?!"

You Ye looked at Lu Wenqiang with a bemused expression.

Jiang Chen chuckled as he glanced at Lu Wenqiang, a lightbulb going off in his head, "Is it two young men?"

"Yes, Mr. Jiang, do you know Mr. Lü and them?"

Lu Wenqiang looked at Jiang Chen, surprised.

"Two young men?"

You Ye's expression shifted, and she spoke sternly, "Are those what's-his-name Lü Tianfang and Chen Gang?"

"Yes, those two, Miss You Ye, you know them too?" Lu Wenqiang's face showed shock.

A chill flashed across You Ye's eyes, a fierce aura of killing intent emanated as she spoke coldly, "Throw them out! If they dare come back and bother us again, kill!"

"Understood!"

Lu Wenqiang's heart jolted, not daring to ask more, he quickly nodded in agreement.

"Wait a moment!"
