Merchant of the Underworld

After I went back, I searched on my mobile phone and found that Li Wanli was originally in the snack business. The spicy strips and chicken feet I ate when I was a child were produced in his small workshop. Although it doesn't sound very high-end, it sold very well that year and earned him his first pot of gold!

Li Wanli is a very pragmatic businessman. After that, he quietly made a fortune and expanded his business to toys, clothing, electronic products and many other fields. It can be said that he started from scratch and now has accumulated a net worth of hundreds of millions.

But in recent months, the father and son suddenly started to engage in charity frantically, providing benefits to employees and donating all their property. It is said that one time Li Wanli saw an old man collecting rags on the street. He felt that the old man was very pitiful, so he forced his Ferrari into the man and drove away.

The father and son spent their fortunes desperately and did not care about the company's business at all, causing the company's stock price to hit rock bottom. Many competitors took this opportunity to madly acquire Li's subsidiaries. Some internal staff also took advantage of the situation, poaching others, and bringing out talents and customers to start a new business. There were already rumors that Li's company was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Seeing this, I felt a sigh of relief. It is easy to start a business but difficult to keep it. Li Wanli lost all his wealth in less than half a year after working hard all his life. The people around him not only did not stop him, but also took the opportunity to line their own pockets. This shows that the world is in trouble!

Based on my intuition, this should be someone deliberately trying to trick them. This kind of behavior is no less vicious than seeking money and killing people.

Immediately I started to worry, this time someone didn’t take the initiative to invite me, so why should I get close to this father and son? Of course, if you wait for them to go bankrupt and live on the street, you can just spend some money to buy Ruan Nang from them, but I can't accept this bad idea in my conscience. If possible, I still hope to save the Li family and his son. Accumulate virtue and do good deeds. Secondly, the snacks produced by Li Wanli brought a lot of joy to my childhood. I don’t want them to disappear like this.

When I was sitting on the sofa looking at my phone, Yin Xinyue had been sitting in front of the computer, typing on the keyboard with a pair of delicate hands, and soothing music was playing in the speakers. Maybe I was too tired during this period, but I was holding my phone without knowing it. I fell asleep unconsciously.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, I was woken up by a stinging pain in my hand. When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was already bright. Oudama was holding my arm and sucking blood. When she saw that I was awake, she said coquettishly: "Bad brother, I clearly said I wanted to reward someone last night, but I forgot about it, which made me hungry all night..."

"Where's the new moon?" I asked.

"Sister Xinyue left last night after watching you fall asleep. Before she left, she told me that she got some news from her friends. She will ask for details today and asked you to wait at home." Xiao Weiyu said.

Only then did I notice that there was a blanket covering me. Yin Xinyue was so considerate to me, and I felt warm in my heart.

After I got up, I simply made some food and read for a while. Yin Xinyue called me excitedly: "Husband, there is good news. Do you know how to burn mercury to make elixirs?"

"Burning mercury to make elixirs?" I was confused. That stuff was out-and-out feudal dross. I didn't believe it at all.

Yin Xinyue said that Li Wanli was recently obsessed with burning mercury to make elixirs, and he was looking for talented people everywhere, so he was defrauded of millions. But he didn't care about the money, he just wanted to make the elixir of immortality. Yin Xinyue thought I could take advantage of this opportunity. Get close to the Li family and his son.

It seems that Ruan Nang is crazily influencing the father and son, making them lose money to new heights and new tricks!

Celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties were crazy about pursuing immortality and studying mercury-burning alchemy, which was all unreliable. Apart from the two inventions of tofu and gunpowder, I don’t think alchemy has produced anything good since ancient times. I don't know how many people have died from eating the 'Nine Transformations Golden Pill', because it is essentially sulfur and mercury, which is highly toxic to the body.

When I was in middle school, I read an article written by Lu Xun about the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It was said that celebrities at that time were popular in taking a medicine called "Five Stone Powder". Its ingredients were stalactite, sulfur, white quartz, and amethyst. , red stone resin and some herbal medicines. This medicine is so expensive that only rich people can afford it.

After taking the ‘Five Stone Powder’, you have to run vigorously to allow the medicine to dissipate. You will also feel hot all over your body. Your skin is very sensitive and will break if you rub it lightly, so you can’t take a bath at all. Many celebrities have a peculiar smell and have lice on their bodies. When they sit together and chat, they often catch lice. There is an idiom called "Talking after lice"; and they cannot wear clothes that are too tight or shoes, so Celebrities from the Wei and Jin Dynasties in ancient paintings all wore wide robes with big sleeves and wore wooden clogs, which became a fashion at that time.

I said to Yin Xinyue: "I don't know how to make alchemy, so why can't I think of some other way?"

"No!" She said: "My friend said that this father and son are like crazy now. Two days ago, they called a big Hong Kong customer a hypocrite full of money and lost hundreds of millions of orders in one go. If you If you can’t do what they want, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get close to them at all…”

I thought to myself, this is too tortuous. I am just trying to collect a ghost, making it look like Infernal Affairs, and I have to first infiltrate the enemy with a special identity.

Although I had a bit of a headache, I still agreed: "Okay, I'll hurry up and make up for the rest of the class. I'll try to catch up and see if I can fool Li Wanli."

"Okay, I'll ask my friends to help clear things up in the past two days and raise your identity in front of Li and his son. We'll go see them together in two days." Yin Xinyue replied.

"How can I thank you?" I asked.

"You're saying such outlandish things. If you really want to thank me, take me out to play when the matter is over." Yin Xinyue laughed.

After hanging up the phone, I went out and bought a few books on this subject, which gave me a headache. Suddenly he thought that Li Mazi was more suitable for pretending to be a master and deceiving people, so he called him and asked him to come over for dinner, saying that there was a surprise waiting for him.

Li Mazi rushed over excitedly and asked me what the surprise was. I said we would eat first. We found a teppanyaki restaurant and ordered a few bottles of beer. After eating and drinking, we returned to the store. I took the alchemy books When the book was put in front of him, Li Mazi opened his eyes and said, "Brother Zhang, this is what you call a surprise. Have you been too busy recently to study these things?"

"You will learn as long as you live. If you read these books thoroughly first, I guarantee that there will be great benefits waiting for you." I said.

Li Mazi immediately reacted: "Did you take on another job?"

Since he guessed it, I didn’t hide it and told him the whole story. When he heard about the five million reward, Li Mazi was very excited, but also a little worried: “You didn’t ask the Macau boss, what is the five million reward?” Is it RMB, Macau Pataca or US dollars?”

"I'll ask back. I'm not sure whether I can get paid. Our task now is to successfully gain the trust of Li and his son and get this secret thing." I said.

"Okay! I read books very quickly. I can read ten lines at a time. Are these just the books? I'll finish reading them tomorrow." Li Mazi promised, beating his chest.
