Chapter 328: Ants and Elephants

As night fell, in a warehouse next to the Haicheng train station, Gu Chen was busy at a console.

Soon, he heard the sound of the main door being pushed open behind him.

Turning around, he immediately saw the Ji Family’s butler, Bai Guang, dressed in a grey casual outfit,

with a cap on his head and a weary expression on his face, standing before him.

"Son-in-law, I’ve arrived," Bai Guang said.

Bai Guang, looking at the reagent Gu Chen was holding and the neatly arranged pots of various plants in front of him, couldn’t help but ask curiously,

"Miss mentioned earlier that you had a way to deal with the Xu Family. Is this it?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen’s face lit up with a smile, and then he raised the test tube in his hand.

In the light, it looked clear and shimmering, and he said confidently,

"Exactly!"

Bai Guang couldn’t help but startle, asking with a trembling voice, "You... you aren’t planning to have me poison Xu Qingmu, are you?"

Gu Chen couldn’t help but laugh and cry at this statement, and then explained with a helpless expression as he patted Bai Guang’s shoulder.

"Uncle Guang, rest assured, I’m not that heartless. When I speak of dealing with the Xu Family, I obviously mean in business terms. As the saying goes, it’s only right to return a favor. They angered my father-in-law so much he’s confined to bed, causing my wife anxiety and fear.

If I don’t teach them a lesson, wouldn’t that make me a coward?"

Pausing, he then put the test tube into Bai Guang’s hand and continued,

"What you see here, well... Uncle Guang, you can think of it as a kind of super nutrient. The top-quality goji berries, medicinal herbs, as well as the high-class fruits currently being sold in the fruit shop, all came to be because of it."

The substance in Gu Chen’s hand was none other than Spirit Spring Water.

Upon hearing Gu Chen say this, Bai Guang also couldn’t help but appear astonished.

At least until now, this must be considered Gu Chen’s biggest moneymaking secret, right?

And now, he even brought this out, showing that although he still wore a smile, he must be seething with anger inside.

However, thinking this, Bai Guang still felt somewhat perplexed, and couldn’t help but ask,

"But son-in-law, even if you bring out this kind of super nutrient now, what good is it? The Ji Family’s factory has already been shut down, and the credibility crisis hasn’t been resolved yet. The media is filled with criticism towards the Ji Family, and although we’re handling public relations, for the time being, even if you grow more top-quality medicinal materials, we have no way to help you sell them."

Gu Chen shook his head, his gaze turning to his butler Bai Guang beside him.

"Uncle Guang, you’re mistaken. What I want you to help me sell isn’t the medicinal herbs or the goji berries, but these nutrients."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chen picked up another test tube.

Then, before Bai Guang’s eyes, he poured it directly into a flowerpot in front of him.

Yet, after only about a minute, Bai Guang was shocked to discover; the pot, which previously only had a thin layer of loose soil,

contained seeds that began to sprout and grow roots at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.

Afterward, he watched as, within less than five minutes of the nutrient being poured,

the single seed in the pot grew into a tender shoot over an inch tall.

Witnessing the scene that was verging on miraculous, Bai Guang was so stunned he could barely speak.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen explained on the side.

"The one I have here," he said, "you can think of it as undiluted original solution whose effects are very strong. Besides helping plants to grow better, its most important function is to accelerate growth!"

"Moreover, today I have already conducted experiments, and even if such a standard reagent is diluted three hundred times, it still works on plants. And from sowing to harvesting, it only needs one to two months."

Upon hearing this, Bai Guang seemed to catch on to something and a thought flashed through his mind.

He couldn’t help but look at Gu Chen with a shocked face, his voice trembling, "Son-in-law, do you... do you mean to say?"

Gu Chen nodded, a playful smile curving the corners of his mouth, then spoke beside Bai Guang.

"I have five tons of this reagent in my warehouse, and you can take it all away tonight. Then I want you to use the Ji Family’s connections to sell this super nutrient solution to the Xu Family’s competitors as quickly as possible. This way, in less than a month, the entire Chuan City market will be flooded with freshly harvested top-quality medicines."

"Xu Qingmu has many medicinal herb bases, doesn’t he? The Xu Family has a large market share, don’t they? This time, I intend to thoroughly disrupt Chuan City’s medicinal herb market. Once this new batch of medicinal herbs hits the market, I want the Xu Family to not make a single dime!"

Hearing Gu Chen’s explanation, Bai Guang felt a shiver in his heart.

The game was indeed big!

He finally understood what Gu Chen really wanted him to do.

This move was a sheer open plot.

After all, Bai Guang had seen the quality of the medicines in Gu Chen’s hands.

If Gu Chen dared to claim he was second, then probably no one in the entire country would dare to claim they were first.

Hence, even if Xu Qingmu’s medicinal herbs were cultivated excellently,

they simply couldn’t compete with such high-quality medicines.

Once the medicinal herbs grown with these agents really hit the market in Chuan City,

not only would Xu Qingmu not make a penny, but even the large stock of medicinal herbs he had accumulated wouldn’t sell.

If this plan really worked out, the entire Xu Family could potentially suffer a tremendous loss.

Moreover, what’s more important is once the market share is lost, if the Xu Family wants to regain it afterwards,

they would have to expend ten or even dozens of times the resources and connections to achieve that.

Gu Chen’s strategy was akin to pulling the rug from under the Xu Family’s feet!

Bai Guang looked at the reagent in his hand and felt extremely invigorated.

Especially when he thought of Xu Qingmu’s overly arrogant demeanor that day,

it made his hatred reach its peak.

But then he thought of the potential downsides of this plan and couldn’t help but speak out.

"But son-in-law, if this batch of super nutrient solution really does sell, then probably your goji berries and subsequent medicinal herbs won’t be able to sell either."

Gu Chen heard this and waved his hand indifferently, saying in a nonchalant manner.

"As they say, those who achieve big things don’t fuss over small details. If I lose ten thousand now, then Xu Qingmu will have to lose at least a few million. With that calculation, I am the winner. Besides, I’m not just involved in the medicinal herb business, but the Xu Family is different. This time I must make them pay a hefty price."

"Besides, Hua Country is vast, and Sichuan Province isn’t the only place. If not Sichuan Province, don’t I still have Haicheng?"

He was only releasing this batch; it wasn’t an endless supply. As soon as the Xu Family was squeezed out, he would immediately stop.

At this point, Gu Chen’s lips curled into a confident smile.

He lightly flicked the Spirit Spring Water in his hand and said nonchalantly, "Who says... ants can’t topple elephants?"
