Gu Yubai calmed down and took a deep breath. "Then what exactly happened in that video between you and Li Binyuan? Why were you two so close? Even if you were discussing business with him, you shouldn't have been acting so intimately."
Jiang Ruoning felt anxious upon hearing this. She had no idea how to explain it to Gu Yubai, because she couldn't say that she felt terrible after seeing him with Fu Qingshu.
But she quickly realized something. "I was too excited at the time. I originally wanted to ask Li Binyuan for investment, but I suddenly found out that Fu Qingshu had already approached Li Binyuan for cooperation before me. Now that the Fu Family and the Li Family are cooperating, what chance do we have? At the time, I wanted to question them about why they broke the agreement, but it was just a problem with the camera angle, and someone with ulterior motives used it to sow discord between us. Please don't misunderstand."
Hearing this, Gu Yubai, though still somewhat doubtful, felt a deep sense of relief. Regardless, he still trusted Jiang Ruoning, and upon reflection, the fact that the video was deliberately sent to him seemed suspicious, almost like an intentional act.
The Fu Family is truly wicked; they actually schemed against them like this. It seems that getting investment from the Li Family is definitely out of the question.
Moreover, the news of Fu Yunqi and Lin Shihua's public relationship is now known throughout the internet. He originally wanted to get to know Lin Shihua, but before he could make a move, he heard about this, Fu Family once again beat him to it.
All of this is so bizarre. The investors he wanted to develop the business with were all snatched up by the Fu Family, leaving him absolutely no way out.
The Fu Family is now the first major threat he needs to eliminate. If the Fu Family isn't eliminated, they will continue to oppose him, and things will never get better.
However, the most urgent task is to find investors as soon as possible to revive the company; otherwise, it will never have a chance to develop.
Thinking of this Gu Yubai said to Jiang Ruoning, "Do you remember the business banquet Zhang Wanhao attended last month? There was a shooting incident there, and I was there too."
Jiang Ruoning finally felt relieved when she heard that Gu Yubai had finally stopped mentioning the matter.
"Yes, I heard that it was originally aimed at the Zhang Family, but someone took the blame for Zhang Wanhao, so in the end nothing happened."
Gu Yubai later had someone investigate and found that the person who helped Zhang Wanhao block the shot was Xie Muling.
After that incident, I heard that the Zhang Family and the Xie Family started to cooperate, and it was obvious that it was because of this.
So he wondered why the other person was so lucky to save someone by chance, and why he, who was also at the scene, wasn't the one who blocked the shot.
Moreover, Xie Muling's injuries were very minor, making this risk too worthwhile. If it were him who saved Zhang Wanhao, the company would be saved, not just saved, but perhaps expanded many times over, and the goal could be achieved very quickly.
It's a pity that such a great opportunity was taken away by others; there was no chance to even try and snatch it back.
Gu Yubai is now truly anxious. If he can't find a way out, he won't be able to repay the money the Gu Family invested in him, and he won't be able to explain it to Old Master Gu. The Jiang Family is in the same situation.
So after much deliberation, he concluded that his only option was to look for targets among the Gu Group's clients.
He wanted to bring Gu Group's clients over to become his own company's clients.
Gu Yubai ended his call with Jiang Ruoning and the next day met with many of Gu Group's long-time clients.
These long-term clients are not opposed to Gu Yubai, after all, Gu Yubai is currently in charge of Gu Group's projects, so communication is very smooth.
Among his many clients, Gu Yubai learned about the medical pharmaceutical industry from a conversation with a pharmaceutical company owner.
They also discussed the previous shooting incident involving Zhang Wanhao.
"The collaboration between Zhang Wanhao and zerio Pharmaceuticals didn't go through. Actually, Zerio was on the verge of collapse; their only valuable asset was their vaccine patents. So there was no need to invest heavily; they could just acquire them at a lower price when the time was right. If the price was right, I'd like to acquire them. It's a great project because I have inside information. Infectious disease experts in Country G discovered that last year's NF Influenza Virus vaccine had mutated. Zerio's lab has the most comprehensive collection of influenza strains in the world. Their research in the field of influenza viruses is absolutely leading. While their price can't compete with their peers, their team is incredibly talented."
"So just for their research team, it's a very good business."
Gu Yubai was also tempted by what they said, but he really didn't have the money. If he had the money, acquiring this vaccine company would not be a problem at all.
But the key issue is that I don't have the money right now, so I can't acquire the other party at all. If it really is an opportunity, I'll have to watch it slip away because I don't have the funds.
I'm so desperate! Where can I get the money? Where can I get the money?
For the first time Gu Yubai felt so helpless; without money, it was impossible to move an inch.
He shouldn't have ended up in this situation. If that business deal with West Suburb Woods had succeeded, he would conservatively estimate that he would have earned billions by now, and acquiring a struggling pharmaceutical company would have been a piece of cake.
So Gu Yubai hatred, hating the Fu Family for opposing him, and wishing he could tear Fu Huaiyan to pieces.
On the other side, Fu Huaiyan had already secretly gone to acquire...
Zerio Pharmaceuticals Pharmaceutical Company.
He acted earlier than others, and his price was fairer.
Because they knew others were still waiting to go bankrupt, they quickly acquired zerio Pharmaceuticals Pharmaceutical Company. However, the news is still being kept secret, as it's not good to be high-profile about this, and many people are watching. They don't want it to be exposed too early.
