The young man heard their barrage of questions again, frowned slightly, and began to explain to them...

"Xiaohe Village is Hu Xiaobei's territory! It is now an excellent tourist destination, and many people are willing to visit it. Older people, in particular, prefer to retire there because the air is truly refreshing!"

Upon hearing this explanation, they exchanged glances...

At this moment, they made a conjecture...

"Ah, I see! It looks like that old man went there this time to investigate and then retire!"

"This... This seems quite possible. After all, he got a strange illness that can't truly be cured!"

"Hm! I think so too!"

Upon hearing this conjecture, one of them, who had remained silent, glanced at everyone and said in a low voice, "Alright, let's not continue with this meaningless speculation. We're going to Xiaohe Village later, and by then, everything will be clear!"

"Right!"

After thinking about it for a moment, they all agreed it made sense!

Visiting Xiaohe Village personally later would really allow them to investigate everything clearly...

The longer the night, the more dreams one can have!

They all understood this, so after confirming their plan, they quickly got into a black business car and headed straight for Xiaohe Village...

Once the car started, these people quickly gathered together.

At this time, one of them glanced around the room and spoke with a deep tone.

"Everyone! Although we are joining forces to deal with Ling Yun this time, at the critical moment, we must rely on our abilities. You probably have no objections to this, right?"

"I have no objections!"

"Neither do I!"

"Me neither!"

Hearing these deep words, all the others exchanged glances and decisively expressed their thoughts.

They were all selfish people, each wanting to completely monopolize all of Ling Yun's wealth...

To be honest, they all despised the others...

Thinking of them as trash, completely unworthy of sharing the wealth equally...

…

"Are you truly the founder of Lingyun Spring Water?"

Xiaohe Village, in Hu Xiaobei's villa, Song Yaling stared dumbfoundedly at Ling Yun.

Earlier, Hu Xiaobei and Ling Yun had returned from the spring in the back mountain...

Catching this opportunity, Ling Xin'er introduced Ling Yun properly to Song Yaling. After listening to Xin'er's introduction, Song Yaling opened her eyes wide, as she never expected this seemingly gentle old man to be the very influential figure.

Feeling Song Yaling's shock, Ling Yun looked at her and half-jokingly said, "What's wrong? Do I not look like him?"

"It's not that. Knowing your identity suddenly makes me feel surprised! Honestly, I had found you a bit familiar before, I should have recognized you long ago!"

"Haha, it's not too late to recognize me now!"

With a light smile, Ling Yun organized his words and repeated his plan to cooperate with Hu Xiaobei to set up a water factory.

After listening, Song Yaling excitedly said, "This... this is a great thing! We can cooperate, we can absolutely cooperate!"

Song Yaling knew Ling Yun's abilities, and therefore she was aware that cooperating with him in setting up the water factory was a surefire profit without loss...

Hearing Song Yaling's excited words, Hu Xiaobei looked at Ling Yun and said, "I also think cooperation is possible! Alright, let's go to the gazebo over there and talk about the specific cooperation details!"

"Sure!"

Agreeing very straightforwardly, he took the lead and quickly, they all headed towards the wisteria-covered gazebo.

Ling Xin'er watched the three of them engaging so cheerfully and pouted slightly, "Seriously! How come they started discussing again! Today... today is my birthday!"

"Xin'er, are you upset? Don't be angry, it's not worth it! When these people start discussing business, they're like this! Let's ignore them; I'll take you to have fun!"

Hearing Ling Xin'er's slightly frustrated mutters, Song Yali glanced at her and spoke quickly.

Song Yali understood her sister and knew Hu Xiaobei too. She knew that once they started talking, it wouldn't be resolved soon, so she decided to take Ling Xin'er around to play, otherwise she might indeed feel bored.

"You're taking me to play? Is this real?"

"Of course! I'll make sure you have lots of fun."

"That sounds great!"

"Right, Xin'er, have you ever been to the zoo before?"

"I've been there once, but it was a pity since the zoo's protective measures were excellent, I didn't have a chance to interact with them closely!"

"Haha! You're in luck! I will allow you to interact with them closely later."

"Them?"

"Yes! You'll find out soon!"

With a mysterious smile, Song Yaling took her hand, and soon, the two of them ran off quickly...

…

In the gazebo, Hu Xiaobei looked at Ling Yun and gently waved his hand...

"Grandpa, the terms you proposed earlier are too generous, it won't do; it really won't!"

Hu Xiaobei earnestly expressed his opinion!

Just now, Ling Yun proposed taking only ten percent, with all other profits going to the village. This made Hu Xiaobei feel it wouldn't work, as he would be taking too much...

"Xiaobei, you really are not suitable for business! Others always think of how to earn as much as possible, but you seem to be the opposite!"

Hearing this tease, Hu Xiaobei rubbed his nose and said quietly, "But earning money also needs a bottom line!"

"That does make sense! Xiaobei, let me explain. First, the factory is in your village, and the water is from your village, so we're basically just providing some technology. In this situation, us taking ten percent is already a lot!"

"But..."

"No buts, just..."

Before he could finish, Ling Yun's phone rang!

Ling Yun took out the phone and saw it was the staff previously sent to test the water quality.

He knew that the test results must be in...

With a chuckle, he put it on speakerphone, allowing the three of them to listen together.

"Hey, is the testing done? How's the water quality?"

As soon as Ling Yun finished speaking, an absolutely excited response came from the receiver, "Chairman Ling, it's not just alright, it's simply... simply amazing. If we can develop the water here, it will surely be very, very good! It will definitely become our flagship product!"

Exhilaration!

Even through the phone, Hu Xiaobei and others could feel the excitement.

Glancing at Hu Xiaobei, Ling Yun asked again, "Really! By the way, how's the water output from the spring? Can it support building a first-class factory?"

Listening to Ling Yun's inquiry, Hu Xiaobei felt a bit nervous, but quickly relaxed...

Because just then, a very affirmative answer came from the phone, "Absolutely! All conditions are very suitable! Chairman Ling, how on earth did you find such a good place!"

"That remains a secret; I'll tell you sometime later! You return to the company now! After you get back, issue my order to have all technical staff come and draw up maps. I need the design completed in the shortest time possible!"

"Alright!"

Ending the call, he looked at Hu Xiaobei and said softly, "Xiaobei, you just heard it too. My people are very satisfied with your water, so you should know that I'm the one taking advantage of you now!"

"But... but this profit division is still a bit low. How about I give you thirty percent?"

"No need, this ratio is indeed not low! Let's sign the contract!"

"Alright then!"

Hu Xiaobei knew he, like himself, was a very stubborn person, so he didn't continue to waste words and simply signed the contract straightforwardly!

In Hu Xiaobei's view, he would accept Ling Yun's favor now and find ways to return it in other aspects later...
