The Fortunate Demoniac Little Village Doctor
Chapter 324 - 324 303 Asset Growth

324: Chapter 303 Asset Growth 324: Chapter 303 Asset Growth Liu Hun took a sniff and realized it was indeed the scent of agarwood!

“Does this mean the whole tree has turned into agarwood?” Liu Hun examined the tall tree, thinking that this could make more money than the Insect Herb Garden.

However, Huo Xiangguo furrowed her brows, slightly out of breath, “Agarwood is formed when a living tree heals its injuries with a unique kind of scab.

I used my superpower to alter the structure of this tree, and it…”

Huo Xiangguo could no longer bear the strain and began to collapse.

Liu Hun swiftly caught her, asking, “Xiangguo, are you okay?”

“The superpower consumption is too severe.

The more complex and valuable the change in structure, the more power it drains…

superpower,” Huo Xiangguo said, leaning on Liu Hun’s arm.

At that moment, one shouldn’t ask anything further.

When men and women work together, things are supposed to get easier.

The Silver Dragon surged within Huo Xiangguo’s body, and as she slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, she quickly felt revived.

The more Liu Hun encountered superpower users, the more he noticed that using their powers often came with draining their life force and energy.

If used without limit, they might end up in the ICU within three days.

“You…

you are more powerful than someone I met in my childhood,” Huo Xiangguo said energetically, like a well-hydrated soybean.

“Childhood?” Liu Hun suddenly became interested.

Huo Xiangguo nodded and then recounted to Liu Hun about a woman she had met by chance as a child.

When Huo Xiangguo was very young, she followed her father into the mountains to gather ginseng.

During one bout of getting lost, she encountered an extraordinarily beautiful woman.

Even without a basic concept of aesthetics at that young age, she thought the woman was so beautiful that she overshadowed nature itself.

“She healed the wound on my leg and then disappeared into the jungle.

I originally thought she was a ginseng digger like us,” Huo Xiangguo shared with Liu Hun, her eyes filled with memories of that time.

Suddenly, Liu Hun remembered something and asked Huo Xiangguo, frowning, “Did your superpower start from that time?”

Huo Xiangguo hesitated, “I’m not quite sure.

I only realized I had a superpower many years later.

But when thinking about all the unusual things I’ve experienced over the years, that incident stands out.”

A stunning woman bestowing a superpower—who exactly was she, and what kind of world did she belong to?

Liu Hun decided he must kick open the door to that world and dig everything out with a swinging hoe.

After chatting for a while, Liu Hun asked Huo Xiangguo to try altering the structure of the rosewood again, which naturally was a success; the grass rosewood smoothly transformed into yellow rosewood, but the entire tree immediately lost its vitality.

“Agarwood forms from scabs, so the tree looks normal but is already dead.

And this rosewood looks…

already dead,” Huo Xiangguo explained to Liu Hun.

Liu Hun nodded.

Although the two trees had skyrocketed in value, this route couldn’t satisfy the entire South American rainforest.

“As long as we can proceed on this path, I’ll think about a plan.

Let’s go back for now,” Liu Hun said to Huo Xiangguo, resolving to keep moving forward step by step.

Money needed to be earned, power expanded, and superpower users thoroughly mined—grasping both opportunities firmly!

Once the Insect Herb Garden started making money, the three villages had a stable supply of funds; everyone was busy building houses, finding wives, and having children—none had time for trouble.

If any trouble arose, it was none of Liu Hun’s concern.

“Plant trees!” Liu Hun announced to a room full of women, especially to Xiao Yanzhu who had now established herself at the grassroots level, “You eat food one bite at a time, walk step by step—if you overstep, you’re bound to stretch yourself thin!”

Hearing this, the women’s faces showed a variety of expressions, indeed each had their uniqueness.

“What I mean is, with the Insect Herb Garden alone, we can basically stabilize the three villages.

The next project should also start in Wanbao Village,” Liu Hun spread out a map and told the women, “Those who are building houses, getting married, and having children should pause for now.

Let’s all go up the mountain to plant trees.”

While explaining, Liu Hun gestured, “We won’t touch this tea garden area.

We won’t disturb this deep mountain Insect Herb Garden either.

This whole area of low shrubbery and mixed weed piles, flatten it all.

Half of it is to be planted with tall trees, the other half with grass rosewood.”

This was Liu Hun’s plan, and together with the existing forests of Jun Mountain, these artificial woods would allow the three villages to multiply their current profits many times over.

If managed well, increasing fifty-fold or even a hundred-fold wasn’t out of the question.

“Right!

Now, for the income from the Insect Herb Garden, spend half, save half.

The savings will be this project’s funds,” Liu Hun told the women.

Despite having a large spread, Liu Hun really didn’t have much cash, not even daring to change his car.

“This matter is settled then.

Let’s follow the previous personnel arrangement and mobilize the people from the three villages…” Liu Hun had just begun speaking when his phone rang.

It turned out to be Bai Lingfei.

Great news came again.

Bai Lingfei told Liu Hun that Qiao Guangbi’s murder case had been closed, and it had nothing to do with him, so the frozen assets could now be transferred to him.

Liu Hun immediately wrapped up the affairs of the village, instructing the women to take care of the specifics while he himself drove to Yuhua City.

It goes without saying about the Shennong Pharmaceutical Group belonging to Qiao Guangbi.

First, he securely pocketed sixty percent of the shares, taking the lion’s share and playing with the board of directors like it was a game.

More importantly, he had the complete management and disposal rights of the twelve thousand Herbal Pharmacies worldwide.

That was the most crucial aspect, completely disconnected from the board—it wouldn’t matter even if he decided to sell condoms there.

Liu Hun had already vaguely seen the engine of his business empire, which relied on high value-added agriculture, slowly beginning to turn!

Those three mountain villages that everyone looked down on and found obstructive were now the unshakeable foundation of his business empire.

Liu Hun wanted more than just production and sales; he aimed to establish a brand, transforming products into luxury goods, which required marketing and publicity.

The key to marketing and publicity was celebrities, and by now, Liu Hun already had them!

It was once again thanks to Qiao Guangbi, the spendthrift, who delivered to his doorstep a forty-five percent stake in Dinghuang Entertainment and long-term contracts of ten years with celebrities like An Shixi.

Although Dinghuang Entertainment wasn’t as big as Yao Shi and Tianxing, the good part was that it was originally formed by several studios merging together, and shares were allocated based on the size of each studio.

Naturally, each managing their own operations, meaning no one interfered with each other, and there were no quarrels on the board.

Liu Hun allocated the entire Herbal Pharmacy to Xiao Fang to manage.

As for the well-operating Shennong Pharmaceutical, he didn’t want to meddle in its affairs now, letting it earnestly make money was excellent, and he would get a fat dividend every quarter based on his shares.

As for the entertainment sector, Liu Hun really wanted to earnestly interfere!

From an investment mogul of Hu Group to a pharmaceutical magnate, he was now turning into an entertainment tycoon!

As long as he firmly controlled the entertainment industry, he would completely control the publicity machine.

Any product partnered with a celebrity endorser would be like turbocharging an engine—just keep spinning!

Money would come fluttering in!

After Liu Hun received Qiao Guangbi’s assets, another piece of news arrived, but this one wasn’t good.

Zhong Xiao, Zhao Mingjie, and Liao Qianji, the golden trio, had lost track of Li Qianqing!

Not only had they lost him, but Li Qianqing also discovered them and sent them a wooden box.

“Master Liu, the wooden box is here,” Zhong Xiao said, quite embarrassed as he placed the wooden box in front of Liu Hun.

While opening the wooden box, Liu Hun said to Zhong Xiao, “It’s not your fault.

As long as you did your best, it doesn’t matter.

Where are Mingjie and the rest?”

Zhong Xiao hurriedly replied, “Officer Zhao seems busy with a task at the station, and Miss Liao went with her.”

Without those two troublemakers, Liu Hun was really at ease.

He opened the wooden box and to his surprise, found stacks of documents inside.

“It turns out we were biting the hand that feeds us, not knowing good from bad.

Li Qianqing even gave us a big gift,” said Liu Hun as he casually picked up a document and saw it was related to some of Dinghuang’s celebrities involved in scandalous acts or black material.

Liu Hun continued flipping through, finding not only the long-term contract celebrities but also information about some others—a truly substantial gift.

Originally planning to start with Li Qianqing, he hadn’t anticipated Li Qianqing would slip away, and Gongsun Jing, who had just appeared, had immediately backed off.

Digging into these Superpower Users was indeed a time and effort-consuming task, Liu Hun couldn’t help thinking.

“Beep beep beep!

Beep beep beep!”

Coincidentally, while Liu Hun was looking through the documents, Chen Junxing, an agent from the Nandou Studio of Dinghuang Entertainment, sent him a text message about hosting a welcoming party for him.

“Nandou Studio…” Liu Hun thought for a moment.

This was the studio completely under his control.

Time to see what it’s really like!

Liu Hun drove his little Audi, humming a tune about never riding his little donkey, and went to the Nandou Studio of Dinghuang Entertainment.

Dinghuang Entertainment headquarters was located in the busiest area, not far from Hu Group’s Imperial City Building.

Though it also had its own building, it was divided among several studios, each managing their operations.

Hence, the largest—Nandou Studio—occupied only three floors.

Just as Liu Hun arrived at Dinghuang Entertainment, a security guard rushed over and yelled, “You there, with the Audi!

Drive to the parking lot.

We’re preparing to welcome a VIP, so go park in the parking lot.”

Alright, off to the parking lot it is.

Liu Hun simply drove down to the underground parking, and just as he parked, he encountered a flower delivery person.

Seizing the opportunity, Liu Hun slipped five hundred yuan to the delivery staff and said, “Can you do me a favor and let me ride the service elevator up with you?”

“You’re in a hurry?

Sure, let’s go!” The delivery man quickly took the money; no one would refuse money willingly.

Liu Hun smoothly followed the service elevator up to the top floor, where he was specially expected today, yet he…
