Chapter 948 I doubt
Shennong Traditional Chinese Medicine Group was investigated one after another, and soon we heard that Chen Yuan, the barrister responsible for litigating Xu Chunliang's case, was hospitalized due to illness, and the chance of appearing in court in person was slim.
After the Zhou brothers transferred their shares to Cao Bingyi, one continued to be in jail and the other lived in seclusion. It was obvious that they should stand up and fight Xu Chunliang, but they hid instead, proving that the brothers were already afraid.
Cao Bingyi began to inquire about Xu Chunliang's background. As he got more and more information, he learned that Lin Sijin, who was in power at the Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, was Xu Chunliang's godmother. partnership.
Only now did he realize that Xu Chunliang might not be a sure loser in this lawsuit, and there might be a chance of a reversal.
Cao Bingyi had to consider a way out. In fact, Xu Chunliang asked him to ask for five million per year in trademark royalties. After all, Renhetang has many types of medicines. This brand is highly recognized in the traditional Chinese medicine market, especially Renhetang. Bone injury plasters have always been at the forefront of this type of online sales.
The reason why Cao Bingyi came to see Xiahou Mulan was because he knew that contacting Xu Chunliang would definitely lead to trouble. Through the examination of the six skills of the Weary Sect, one can become the legitimate sect leader of the Weary Sect.
During this period, important figures from the Weimen also went to Qiaocheng to visit Xiahou Mulan. Although there is a saying that Xiahou Mulan cannot pass the inspection of the Six Skills of the Weimen, but with Xiahouyuan's support, who knows whether the rules will be changed. Anyway, at present Xiahou Mulan has taken over the management of the tired sect, and it is also out of long-term considerations that she will visit the future sect owner in advance.
Cao Bingyi's motives were of course not that simple. He also wanted to take this opportunity to meet Xia Houyuan.
After some pleasantries, Cao Bingyi sent an order to buy two medicinal materials, Bobaishao and Duanxueliu from Mulan Base. Firstly, his pharmaceutical factory needs them, and secondly, these two medicinal materials from Mulan Base are of first-class quality. Whoever buys them is not Buying and sending orders can also show your goodwill.
Cao Bingyi said: "Miss Mulan, I have something else that I want to give to the old sect master in person. Is it convenient?"
Xiahou Mulan said: "He went out. I don't know where he went. If there is anything left, I can hand it over."
Cao Bingyi said: "It would be more appropriate to give it to him in person."
Xiahou Mulan didn't care about his things either, and said calmly: "Why would Mr. Cao come here in person for such a small order?"
Cao Bingyi said: "I came here mainly to congratulate Miss Mulan for taking charge of the overall situation of the family."
Xiahou Mulan said: "It's a temporary matter. You should know the rules of the sect. If you don't pass the test of the Six Wearing Skills, you are not qualified to inherit the position of the sect leader. You probably don't agree with it, otherwise you wouldn't call me that."
Cao Bingyi thought to himself, it seems that I have offended her. How can it be so easy to pass the Six Skills of the Exhaustion Gate? Since the establishment of the Kumen, no one has passed the examination of the Six Skills of the Kumen before the age of thirty. I am somewhat familiar with your level, Xiahou Mulan. If you can do it, you won’t delay it until three months later. Conduct assessment.
Cao Bingyi smiled and said: "I'm used to it. By the way, I heard that Mulan Group has been included in the support list of national traditional Chinese medicine planting bases."
Xiahou Mulan said: "There is such a thing. My news is relatively late. I applied at the last moment. Aren't you also shortlisted?"
Cao Bingyi sighed and said: "I had already passed the preliminary review, but I was dismissed when the results were finally announced."
Xiahou Mulan smiled and said: "I hope it is not the Mulan Group that has replaced you."
Cao Bingyi knew very well that Xiahou Mulan told him deliberately. In all likelihood, it was the Mulan Group that replaced his Shennong Chinese Herbal Medicine Group. I wonder what the relationship is between Xiahou Mulan and Xu Chunliang? She actually colluded with Xu Chunliang to deal with her fellow disciples.
“Actually, this support project is nothing. Even if it passes, it will just be the icing on the cake, just a formality.” When Cao Bingyi said this, it was a bit sour grapes.
Xiahou Mulan said: "You can't say that. Being on the list means being recognized by the country. On the other hand, it also proves the value of medicinal herbs. By the way, I heard that you have been targeted by the Traditional Chinese Medicine Administration recently. Many batches of products have been found to be substandard. Mr. Cao, you must be careful in handling this. In our industry, reputation is very important. Once the reputation collapses, the customers accumulated over the years may be quickly lost."
Cao Bingyi has already experienced this. Since the Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine targeted him, chargebacks have increased sharply and are getting worse. Otherwise, he would not have gone to Qiaocheng in person to seek a solution.
Cao Bingyi sighed and said: "Miss Mulan, I suspect someone is messing with me behind my back." As a member of the Weary Sect, if someone is setting up a trap, it is natural to seek help from the sect leader. Otherwise, why would I give you Mulan every year? The group places so many orders? Help your business? This is paying the protection fee in disguise. After I have paid the protection fee, you are obliged to protect my safety.
Xiahou Mulan said: "Who is this person?"
Cao Bingyi looked around and saw that there was no one else. He still lowered his voice and said: "It should be Xu Chunliang."
Cao Bingyi sighed and said: "It's not because of my acquisition of Renhetang shares." He told the cause and effect again. It was clear that Xiahou Mulan knew it, but he had to repeat it, mainly because he hoped that Xiahou Mulan could see it from his point of view. to look at the problem. Cao Bingyi didn’t think there was any problem with his acquisition of the shares held by the Zhou brothers. They were willing to sell them to him at a low price. As a businessman, wouldn’t it be contrary to destiny if he didn’t take advantage of the situation? And he didn't know there were so many troubles involved. If he had known that the inside of Renhetang was so complicated, he would not have taken the initiative to cause this trouble.
Xiahou Mulan knew as soon as she heard that this guy was not telling the truth and made him look like a victim. With Cao Bingyi's level of cultivation, he would never buy the shares from the Zhou brothers without even knowing the ownership of the trademark. He would have already He knew that someone was going to file a lawsuit against Xu Chunliang over the ownership of the trademark, and he was convinced that Xu Chunliang would definitely lose, so he took advantage of it. If he was greedy for it, he would just pay it back. If he was colluding with others to deal with Xu Chunliang, It can only be said that he is out of his wits.
After hearing what he said, Xiahou Mulan frowned and said, "You have said so much, but I still don't understand why Xu Chunliang messed with you. It was obviously you who provoked others."
Cao Bingyi said with a sad face: "Don't you know that Xu Chunliang's godmother is Director Lin of the Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine?"
Xiahou Mulan said: "So you suspect that Xu Chunliang is dealing with you in the recent series of things?"
"if not?"
Xiahou Mulan said: "Don't talk nonsense without evidence. It seems that you must also think that I squeezed you out of the support list."
“No! I never did!” Cao Bingyi said hard.
Xiahou Mulan said to her heart that I don’t care even if you have her.
Cao Bingyi added: "I'm just a businessman, and I always pursue harmony to make money. I have never dealt with Xu Chunliang in the past, how could I take the initiative to become his enemy?"
Xiahou Mulan said: "Mr. Cao, are you talking about the wrong person?"
Cao Bingyi said: "I don't want the feud between us to get deeper and deeper. If he and I turn against each other, I will definitely not sit idly by and ignore him."
Xiahou Mulan looked at Cao Bingyi coldly and said, "Are you kidnapping the entire tired family?"
Cao Bingyi's heart trembled, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Miss Mulan's words are wrong. The disciples of the tired sect are in the same spirit. No matter who is in trouble, the same disciples will give a helping hand. Am I not a member of the tired sect?"
Xiahou Mulan said: "Weimen has its own rules. The disciples of Weimen are in the same spirit, and it is good to help each other, but they do not have to help in everything. Why was Wu Yuanyi purged from the family? Because he violated the law and discipline, we naturally We will not sit idly by when the disciples of the Tired Sect are bullied, but if the disciples of the Tired Sect are at fault in the first place, we will not protect their shortcomings either."
These words were so categorical that they made Cao Bingyi's heart tremble. Yes, Wu Yuanyi and Xia Houyuan were sworn brothers. Even he was expelled from the tired family, let alone himself.
Cao Bingyi said: "Miss Mulan, I can guarantee that I have no intention of harming others. Xu Chunliang must have misunderstood."
Xiahou Mulan said: "You told me this because you want me to explain it to him for you?"
Cao Bingyi said: "I heard that you are friends with him."
Xiahou Mulan said: "Just ordinary friends." When he lied, his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up. How could there be ordinary friends like them? They were all happy. Thinking of the time he spent with Xu Chunliang, he felt even more disgusted with Cao Bingyi. I hinted at you early in the morning, but you didn't give me any face at all. Now that you've been beaten and you know it hurts, you come to me again. Do you think your face is big enough?
Cao Bingyi said: "To be honest, Xu Chunliang came to me once before, and he proposed a trademark royalty of five million per year."
Xiahou Mulan said: "Five million per year for Renhetang's trademark is quite reasonable."
Cao Bingyi sighed and said: "If there is no problem with the trademark ownership, I will agree. But now someone has come forward to sue him, demanding to get back the trademark ownership of Renhetang. It is said that there are problems with Zhou Renhe's original will. It's not legal. How could I agree to it under such circumstances?"
Xiahou Mulan smiled and said: "Do you think Xu Chunliang will definitely lose? So you plan to bet on the other side."
Cao Bingyi said: "Anyway, from what I know, the possibility of him winning this lawsuit is very slim."
Xiahou Mulan said: "In this case, you can boldly bet all your treasure on the other side."
Cao Bingyi said with a grimace: "I suddenly realized that no matter what the outcome of this lawsuit is, I may be a loser."
