Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 468 - 440 Determined to Win
Shen Mengyi agreed to Lin Tian's proposal, and Lin Tian was very happy, wanting to give his company a name.
Lin Tian asked, "What do you think we should name our company?"
Shen Mengyi replied, "We should pick a powerful name that can shock the whole world. Let me think... how about Longteng Pharma? What do you think?"
Lin Tian considered it and felt it wasn't quite right. Although the name was powerful, it lacked special meaning.
He suggested, "This is our company, belonging to the two of us. It should have our unique significance. How about... we name it after us? Let's call it Tianyi Pharma. How does that sound?"
After hearing this, Shen Mengyi was very happy and shyly nodded her head in agreement.
"Good, from now on our company will be called Tianyi Pharma, hahaha...!"
..., ....
Back in Wu'an City by evening, Lin Tian found Bu Mengting and Jiang Hui safe and sound, with no major incidents.
Lin Tian arranged a room for Shen Mengyi. At nine o'clock in the evening, just as Lin Tian was about to have a big fight with Shen Mengyi, Chen Lihui's urgent voice came from outside the door.
"This kid, coming neither early nor late, but just at this time, ruining my good moment," Lin Tian cursed silently to himself, reluctantly looking away from Bu Mengting's naked body.
Lin Tian got dressed and opened the door, asking, "What's the matter, coming at this late hour?"
Chen Lihui, somewhat agitated, said, "Wu'an City's largest pharmaceutical company, 'Tiankang Pharma', is going up for auction tomorrow afternoon due to a disagreement between the two major shareholders."
"If our 'Tianyi Pharma' can take over 'Tiankang Pharma', then we can immediately start processing and producing healing potions. These potions will soon flood the market in large quantities, bringing huge profits to the company."
"If we miss this opportunity, we will have to pick a new location, set up a factory, purchase equipment, and recruit talent, which would take at least a year and consume a huge amount of capital. Therefore, securing 'Tiankang Pharma' is our top priority tomorrow."
After hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Lin Tian's eyes. He had been puzzling over the factory problem for 'Tianyi Pharma', and this was exactly what he was wishing for—'Tiankang Pharma' was a must-have.
"What's the starting bid for the auction of Tiankang Pharma?" Lin Tian asked.
"Thirteen billion, with each bid increase not less than ten million," answered Chen Lihui.
After thinking for a moment, he continued, "That's just the starting price. Tiankang Pharma is the leading industry in Wu'an City, one of the top five most profitable industries. If it weren't for the disagreement between the major shareholders, Tiankang Pharma would never be auctioned off. I estimate that there are at least a dozen people in Wu'an City eager to take over Tiankang Pharma. Conservatively speaking, it would take at least thirty billion to secure it."
When Chen Lihui mentioned the figure of thirty billion, he carefully observed Lin Tian's expression. Thirty billion was not a small amount, and Chen Lihui was genuinely worried Lin Tian couldn't afford it.
However, when Lin Tian heard the figure of thirty billion, his expression did not change. He directly said, "Good, you go prepare for tomorrow. I will return to participate in the auction. I am determined to get Tiankang Pharma."
After hearing this, Chen Lihui was finally able to relax, left happily, and looked forward to the auction the next day with great anticipation.
..., ....
The next morning, Lin Tian found Shen Mengyi and told her that she would be fully responsible for the bidding that afternoon.
Although she was a rich heiress, she was still somewhat intimidated by a project worth dozens of billions. She tried to decline, "Tens of billions is not a small amount... this is... this is your money, I... I'm afraid...!"
Lin Tian cut her off, saying, "I have absolute confidence that my company will become the largest in the world. I also have absolute trust in the people I hire to manage my company well. This is the first step. Are you going to give up?"

Hearing Lin Tian's words, Shen Mengyi felt ashamed. The next moment, blushing, she said in a soft voice, "Okay, I promise you. I'll be fully responsible for this auction."
Lin Tian also gave Shen Mengyi a bottom line, telling her that he had over a hundred billion. No matter how high the price went, as long as it was within the affordable range, she had to secure it.
Shen Mengyi nodded in agreement with Lin Tian, clasping her fists tightly, feeling nervous.
..., ....
In the city center of Wu'an City, inside an imposing villa, stood two young men.
Lin Tian knew both of them and had some beef with them to a lesser or greater extent. One was Gongsun Wudao and the other Ouyang Wuqing.
Gongsun Wudao was the first to speak, "Brother Wuqing, have you heard? Tiankang Pharma is going to be auctioned. It's like a juicy steak. We know the annual profit of Tiankang Pharma. If we can secure it, we can start making money right away."
Ouyang Wuqing sipped some red wine and said disinterestedly, "Brother Wudao, what you know, others know as well. Tiankang Pharma is a juicy steak that countless people will compete for. Though the starting bid is thirteen billion, the final price will be at least thirty billion. The Ouyang Family is interested in getting a piece of the pie, but such a huge investment would be hard for us to manage."
Gongsun Wudao said, "Actually, I'm not going to lie, the Gongsun Family also wants to secure Tiankang Pharma, but funding is an issue for us too. What if we join forces, and then..."
Ouyang Wuqing immediately put down his wine glass and took over Gongsun Wudao's point, "Our Ouyang Family and your Gongsun Family are both prominent households in Wu'an City. If our two families unite, other wealthy families wouldn't dare to interfere. We could then buy Tiankang Pharma at a lower price. We would share the investment and divide the profits equally."
Gongsun Wudao clapped his hands in excitement and said, "Brother Wuqing's words are exactly what I had in mind. I will start preparing right now, get in touch with some capable tycoons. If they cooperate, we can negotiate nicely. If they don't, well I will..."
Ouyang Wuqing interjected, "Good, then I will find some people to help. There could always be unforeseen circumstances at the auction, so we must be fully prepared."
"Alright, no matter what, we must get Tiankang Pharma at all costs."
..., ....
By noon, Lin Tian's group arrived at the auction. Lin Tian was too conspicuous, so he didn't want to show his face. He wore an eyepatch and followed behind the crowd with Bu Mengting. Wang Ying was still lurking in the shadows, while Jiang Hui stayed by Shen Mengyi's side to protect her.
As the time for the actual auction drew closer, to Lin Tian's surprise, the turnout wasn't as large as he had expected.
What puzzled him even more was that this morning there were several tycoons who had clearly stated they would participate in the auction, but Lin Tian hadn't seen a trace of them yet.
"There must be something fishy going on!" Lin Tian thought to himself.
