Zhou Yuan opened his eyes wide and stared at the round object in Zhou Tong's hand for more than a minute before he finally believed that he had seen it right.
He looked at the eldest son in front of him with incredible eyes, as if he was seeing a ghost.
What happened?
Why did this eldest son, whom he had always regarded as a waste, suddenly become a first-level warrior?
When Zhou Tong took the college entrance examination last year, I generously provided him with various tonics and even spent a lot of money to hire a coach to teach Zhou Tong.
As a result, this kid's health level was not even high enough to reach the first line.
This year I am repeating my studies for a year. I am so disheartened with Zhou Tong that I have not spent a penny on him, not to mention the coach, and I have basically never even bought him any supplements.
Why did this kid's energy and blood rise instead? And he suddenly became a first-level warrior?
Wasn't what Zhou Tong said just now mocking himself?
Can he really inflate his Qi and blood by breathing in air?
"You...when did you become a first-level warrior?"
he asked with deep disbelief.
"Just these few days. I'm just a first-level warrior, what's the problem?"
Zhou Tong replied calmly, pretending to be cool without leaving any trace.
He's just a first-level warrior... What's so difficult...
The faint words made Zhou Yuan's mouth twitch slightly.
Listen, is this human language?
How many graduates in the entire Yuancheng City have reached the level of first-level warriors?
"Is something wrong? If nothing happens, I will continue to exercise."
Zhou Tong began to issue eviction orders.
"It's okay, it's okay, you can just exercise."
Zhou Yuan was still in a daze and kept saying that he was about to exit.
He originally thought that Zhou Tong had been giving up on himself these past few days. Although he, as a father, did not have much hope for Zhou Tong, he could not just watch his eldest son sink so lowly and wanted to teach him a lesson. Dunzhoutong.
Let him stop falling like this. There are only a few days left for the college entrance examination. No matter whether it is good or bad, he must give it a try.
Although he does favor his younger son Zhou Xiang who is more talented, the palms and backs of his hands are all flesh. After all, Zhou Tong is also his biological son, so he cannot completely ignore Zhou Tong.
But now it seems that my eldest son still needs to teach me a lesson?
The vitality and blood value of a first-level warrior is more than enough in the previous course. If you perform better, you can easily go to the key course!
"By the way, I have something to discuss with you."
He was about to exit when he suddenly heard Zhou Tong speak again.
"What's the matter? Don't worry about the supplements. Just buy whatever you need these days. If you don't have enough money, tell me..."
Zhou Yuan thought Zhou Tong wanted him to provide some tonics and subconsciously said.
If it were before, Zhou Tong would only get a scolding from him if he wanted to buy tonics.
His talent is so poor, if he takes the tonic in his stomach, he might as well feed it to a dog!
This is what he said to Zhou Tong in anger when he once hated iron for not becoming steel.
"I don't need a tonic."
Zhou Tong shook his head slowly, but what he said next made Zhou Yuan almost doubt whether he heard it correctly.
"I want to open a company and hope to get your investment."
start a company?
invest?
Zhou Yuan almost doubted his own ears. Looking at the eldest son in front of him who looked calm as if he was talking about a trivial matter, he felt for the first time that his eldest son had become so strange.
"You...you want to open a company?"
He repeated it again in disbelief.
Seeing the eldest son in front of him nodding calmly, Zhou Yuan felt extremely ridiculous.
"Are you crazy? Do you know what it means to open a company?"
He began to teach Zhou Yuan: "Opening a company requires not only funds, but also people and products with sufficient market competitiveness. Starting a company? What you said is easy. What is the company you want to open? What do you want to do?
Are you ready? You didn't think about anything, and you opened your mouth to open a company. Do you think you were just playing house? Besides, you are so young, you should put your studies first. Even if you want to open a company, you should at least do it.
Wait until you graduate from college..."
Facing Zhou Yuan's reprimand, Zhou Tong didn't say much, but calmly took out a small glass bottle from his schoolbag, which contained a gray pill.
He said calmly: "To be precise, it's not that I want to open a company, but that a friend of mine wants to open one. This will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our Zhou Pharmaceutical Company, as long as you are willing to invest and help my friend open it."
If we become a shareholder of the company, the benefits that our Zhou Pharmaceuticals will gain in the future are immeasurable, and we may be able to try to open up markets in other cities within a few years."
The Zhou family's Zhou Pharmaceutical is a well-known tonic industry giant in Yuancheng City.
However, he is just a local snake in one-third of an acre of land in Yuancheng City.
In the entire eastern Sichuan Province, except for Yuancheng City, there is no trace of Zhou Pharmaceuticals at all in other cities.
The development of Zhou's Pharmaceutical in Yuancheng City has long reached its limit. It has been in a stagnant period for so many years. Zhou Yuan is racking his brains almost every day to think about how to compete with pharmaceutical companies in other cities.
Other cities open their markets.
However, when he heard Zhou Tong's words, Zhou Yuan was not surprised at all, but he only felt ridiculous in his heart.
He even had some doubts about whether there was something wrong with Zhou Tong's head.
Are you kidding me?
Zhou's Pharmaceutical has been developing in Yuancheng City for so many years and has become the leading pharmaceutical company in Yuancheng City.
For so many years, he has been trying to expand Zhou Pharmaceutical's territory to other cities, but to no avail.
Now Zhou Tong actually said that as long as he invests in his friend's company, he can help Zhou's Pharmaceutical open up markets in other cities?
Do you really think he is the richest man in a certain tomato company, investing in all projects?
The disadvantage is that you don't pay taxes because you are bragging, otherwise you can contribute half of the country's GDP!
"What does that friend of yours do?"
Although he felt that his question was a bit redundant, Zhou Yuan still asked.
"He is a student from Yuancheng No. 2 Middle School."
Zhou Yuan was almost carried away in anger, and his whole body laughed out of anger.
a student?
Do you dare to make such wild claims that you can help Zhou Pharmaceutical develop the market?
I think you two colluded to defraud me of money, right?
"Okay, okay, if you are short of money, just ask me for it directly. There is no need to use such low-level tricks to defraud me of pocket money."
Zhou Yuan was too lazy to talk nonsense to Zhou Tong and waved his hand, not taking Zhou Tong's words seriously at all.
"This is what my friend is going to introduce, a brand new tonic."
Zhou Tong also heard the disbelief in Zhou Yuan's tone, but he didn't take it seriously.
He spoke calmly, handed the glass bottle containing gray pills to Zhou Yuan, and said: "You can take it for testing first. If you still haven't changed your mind after the test results come out, then just pretend that I haven't mentioned this matter.
"
Brand new tonic?
Such a title made Zhou Yuan feel even more ridiculous.
What so-called brand-new tonic can a high school student have?
He originally didn't even intend to take the glass bottle from Zhou Tong's hand, but looking at Zhou Tong's calm expression, he didn't know why, but he took the small glass bottle over by some mistake.
Zhou Tong didn't say anything more, strode out of the room, sat at the dining table, and started eating the leftovers on the table.
Zhou Yuan looked at Zhou Tong's back sitting at the dining table, then looked at the gray pills in his hand, and felt an unknown feeling in his heart.
…
Early the next morning, Zhou Yuan arrived at the company and began to deal with a lot of company affairs, forgetting about the small glass bottle for a while.
He was busy until the afternoon, when he had some free time, and then suddenly the small glass bottle containing gray pills in his pocket rang.
He took out the small glass bottle and looked at it carefully in the sunlight. The gray pills were dull and dull, and there was nothing surprising about them.
"Is this a tonic? Can it be sold?"
Relying on the first instinct of a businessman, Zhou Yuan was certain that based on its appearance, it was impossible for anyone to buy this so-called tonic.
But thinking of Zhou Tong's calm eyes last night, he thought for a moment and asked his secretary to come in and hand him the glass bottle: "Send this pill to the technical department and let them test it to see if it is the same as the other pills on the market.
What’s the difference between supplements? Once the test results come out, they’ll be sent to my office.”
The secretary took the glass bottle containing the gray pills and left quickly.
Zhou Yuan didn't have much hope for the gray pill at first, thinking that the little gray pill was just for fooling people, and it wouldn't take long for it to be detected by the technical department.
Anyway, I had nothing to do in the afternoon, so I simply waited in the office for a while, planning to wait for the test results to come out.
Unexpectedly, the wait lasted all afternoon. Even after the off-duty time, the test results still had not been sent to his office.
He got a little impatient and got up and was about to go to the inspection department to inquire. Suddenly, his office door was pushed open and a figure in a white coat strode in, his face full of excitement.
"Dr. Jay, the test results are out!"
Zhou Yuan knew this person who suddenly broke into his office. He was the head of the inspection department and an expert he hired with a high salary.
"Come out as soon as you come out, why are you in such a hurry..."
He was a little dissatisfied and was about to scold, but when he saw the white coat in front of him said excitedly: "Dr. Jay, the gray pills you sent to the inspection department have a nourishing effect on qi and blood, which is better than the best tonic in our company at present."
It is more than ten times higher! The most important thing is that the materials of that pill are all cheap medicinal materials. Where did you get this pill? The person who prepared this pill is simply a genius among geniuses.
Being able to use so many cheap medicinal materials to prepare such a powerful tonic..."
Zhou Yuan didn't listen to a word of what he said next.
His head was already buzzing, and only the words Zhou Tong said to him last night were echoing in his mind.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Zhou Pharmaceuticals..."
He originally thought this was Zhou Tong's crazy talk and didn't take it seriously at all.
