Medical and Martial God

Chapter 286: Sensation Worldwide

Shen Songshan’s eyes lit up. He silently praised Shen Qilin for his eloquent words.

This is a veiled criticism of the Lv Family for being opportunistic fence-sitters who go back on their word. If this gets out, it will be a major blow to their reputation. After all, no one would dare to cooperate with someone known for such treachery.

"I don’t understand what you mean by that, Elder Shen," Lv Zhiyuan said. As an old hand in the business world, he had certainly caught the meaning behind Shen Qilin’s words. Though inwardly furious, he maintained a righteous demeanor on the surface. "You never mentioned the Shen Family was in trouble, nor did you ask for my help. Is it really appropriate to accuse me of being dishonorable and disloyal?

"As businessmen, we seek profit. With Ye Xiu’s reputation in the medical field and his nationwide influence, entering the medical sector is a surefire investment. What’s wrong with the Lv Family taking a stake?

"Ye Xiu is an enemy of your Shen Family, not mine. Why can’t I collaborate with him?

"Your Shen Family is far too overbearing. Just because you have a feud with Ye Xiu, you want to force all of the Shen Family’s partners to be his enemies too? That’s completely unreasonable!"

This counterattack was even more brilliant, directly turning the tables to paint the Shen Family as overbearing and irrational. If these words got out, they would surely infuriate all of the Shen Family’s business allies.

"Mr. Lv, you misunderstand. That’s not what I meant," Shen Qilin said, growing anxious. He quickly explained, "Ye Xiu spread the news that the Shen Family was one of the culprits responsible for framing him. He wants to push us into the eye of a media storm and use the power of public opinion to destroy the Shen Corporation.

"He was afraid our friends would support the Shen Corporation, so he joined forces with the Bao Family to announce their venture into the medical field. He’s trying to tie all of the Shen Family’s allies to his war chariot, leaving us isolated and helpless.

"We came to you, Mr. Lv, hoping you would lend our family a hand."

In a few sentences, he had laid out Ye Xiu’s plot for Lv Zhiyuan, described the Shen Family’s current predicament, and humbly requested his help.

"The Lv and Shen families are allies. It’s only right for the Lv Family to assist when the Shen Family is in trouble. Just let me know when you can’t hold on anymore," Lv Zhiyuan said, adopting the posture of someone ready to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them through thick and thin.

However, his words infuriated Shen Songshan and Shen Qilin.

Let you know when the Shen Family can no longer hold on? Ha! By the time we can’t hold on anymore, we’ll be pariahs, scorned by all. Would the Lv Family really help then?

To put it bluntly, Lv Zhiyuan’s words sounded pleasant, but he really just wanted to sit back and watch how the Shen Family handled the crisis. If they could resolve it themselves, the Lv Family would then step forward to cheer them on, letting the entire business world know they were still allies. However, if the Shen Family couldn’t manage the crisis and collapsed, they would no longer be a threat. In that case, the Lv Family wouldn’t just refuse to help; they would probably take the opportunity to kick them while they were down.

Business gambits were just that cruel.

"Brother Lv, the truth is, the Shen Family can provide any benefits Ye Xiu can offer the Lv Family," Shen Songshan finally said. Since businessmen chase profit, then profit is what I’ll offer him.

"Elder Shen, do you have any idea just how big this venture Ye Xiu and the Bao Family have launched is?" Lv Zhiyuan asked.

Shen Songshan was taken aback. "It’s just an entry into the medical field. How big can it be? Although the profits in medicine are substantial, Ye Xiu and the Bao Family’s move clearly involves sharing those profits with many people. Even if the Lv Family gets a piece of the pie, the share won’t be that large."

"You’re mistaken!" Lv Zhiyuan said with a laugh. "Ye Xiu and the Bao Family aren’t just entering the medical field; they’re getting into everything related to medicine. Furthermore, Ye Xiu isn’t just targeting the domestic market. He wants to enter the global medical industry."

"What?"

Shen Songshan and Shen Qilin were both stunned.

"Has Ye Xiu gone mad?" Shen Qilin exclaimed.

"Brother Lv, I advise you not to get involved," Shen Songshan said. "Ye Xiu is just a greenhorn with overly ambitious and unrealistic goals. If he only set his sights on the domestic medical market, it would be a surefire win. But he wants to break into the international market? He’ll be bankrupted. He’s simply no match for the medical oligarchs around the globe."

Shen Songshan was ecstatic. It was true that Ye Xiu’s entry into the domestic market made it difficult to retain the Shen Family’s allies, given his massive influence in the country. However, Ye Xiu had no chance of success in the international market. Simply by pointing this out, he could shatter Ye Xiu’s entire scheme.

"Gentlemen, please watch this."

Lv Zhiyuan couldn’t be bothered to explain further. He simply picked up the remote and turned on the television.

The screen flickered to life, showing Chloe’s father, Bister.

"I am Bister, Chairman of the Mohei Consortium. Starting today, the Mohei Family will commit all its resources to collaborate with Medicine King Ye Xiu of Xuanse and build a new medical ecosystem in Youkeduo..."

The image changed to another foreigner.

"I am Oleg, Chairman of the Board of the Rock Consortium. On behalf of the Locke Consortium and the Locke Family, I formally announce our alliance with Medicine King Ye Xiu of Xuanse..."

"I am Vasili, Clan Leader of the Solo Family, and I represent..."

"I am the Clan Leader of the Moye Family..."

"I am the current Clan Leader of the Rode Family..."

On the television screen, images of various financial titans from different countries flashed by, each having recorded a video from their home or office. Without exception, they were all solemnly declaring their alliance with Ye Xiu to enter the medical field.

"This..."

Shen Songshan and Shen Qilin were utterly flabbergasted.

And they weren’t the only ones.

After receiving the mass text from Ye Xiu, Bister’s group didn’t even bother holding a press conference. They immediately recorded videos on the spot and had them uploaded online at breakneck speed for distribution to major media outlets. They couldn’t afford to delay Ye Xiu’s business for a single second, terrified that he might show up at their homes with a knife to "have a coffee."

Once these videos from the titans hit the internet, they were sensationalized by major media outlets and further amplified by countless online shills.

Within half an hour, it became a global sensation.

Medical tycoons all over the world were trembling, completely stunned.

They didn’t know who Ye Xiu was, but they knew all too well the power of conglomerates like the Mohei Family. With so many financial oligarchs teaming up to enter the medical field, no existing medical titan in the world could compete. This group could bankrupt them just by throwing money at the problem.

Almost everyone involved in the medical industry worldwide began using their connections to find out who this Ye Xiu was.

To single-handedly ally with so many global financial titans! It’s beyond incredible! And yet, they had never even heard of such an unbelievably powerful figure.

They scrambled to find out more, hoping to arrange a meeting. They had to be ready to offer gifts, extend invitations, and latch onto this powerful figure. If they were too late with their flattery, they would be left with nothing at all once Ye Xiu finished reshuffling the global medical market.

"You two see now, don’t you?" Lv Zhiyuan said, smiling at Shen Songshan and Shen Qilin. "This is the scale of Divine Doctor Ye’s ambition. If the Lv Family follows him, even if we don’t try to make money, the cash will simply float our way."
