Chapter 16: Brothers Open Hearts
At more than ten o'clock in the morning, Li Qi rushed back to the Li family's old house with a large family.
The old man of the Li family asked his granddaughter Li Shulei to sit next to Chu Feng in the side hall, while he and his younger brother Li Qi went to the inner room to talk in detail.
When he came to the inner room and saw that Lawyer Xu and several notaries at home were also present, Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and realized that his brother came back from looking for him today, and there might be something important to announce.
"This is the 20% equity certificate of Tianxuan Pharmaceutical, I have signed all the documents, and after you sign the rest, these shares will be transferred to your name."
The nominal chairman of Tianxuan Pharmaceutical is Li Qi, but the actual equity distribution is 51% of the old man Li Chu, and the remaining 49% of the equity is in the hands of Li Qi.
As the old man spoke, he took the signed equity document from Lawyer Xu and handed it to his younger brother Li Qi, who was sitting beside him.
After taking the documents and going through them carefully, Li Qi put them aside and looked at his brother.
"Brother, what are you?"
He had also negotiated with his brother about equity before, but Li Chu never let go. Today, suddenly, the elder brother took the initiative to transfer these shares to his name, and Li Qi was a little unsure of his brother's intentions for a while.
In this way, Li Qi of Tianxuan Pharmaceutical Group controls 69% of the equity and has become a veritable leader.
Letting the notary and the lawyer go to the living room to rest first, Li Chu took tea and sat down next to his younger brother Li Qi.
"Qingping works in the provincial hospital, if nothing goes wrong in the future, he should be able to make a career, and he doesn't care about Tianxuan Pharmaceutical, so I want to transfer the equity to your name, so that you can show your skills."
After talking about these official matters, the old man of the Li family talked about personal matters.
"Xiaoqi, do you remember when we were children playing hide and seek in this old mansion? At that time, you secretly hid behind your father's bookcase, and I searched for a long time but didn't find you......"
Seeing that his younger brother was also full of white hair and looked old and pale, Old Man Li Chu sighed that the years had passed. In the blink of an eye, the two brothers have changed from naughty boys to old men, and now they are full of children and grandchildren.
In life, the white horse passes through the gap.
"Brother, something is not quite right with you today. Is something wrong with you? ”
From the first time he saw his brother in the old mansion today, Li Qi felt that something was not quite right with him, but he couldn't guess what the problem was.
At this time, when he saw the old brother telling him about his youth, he couldn't help asking.
"What's wrong? It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you. Although you haven't said anything over the years, I know that you are dissatisfied with your father's arrangement back then. I've been a big brother for a long time, and I've been a big brother for you all these years, and it's really hard for you to support such a big stall as Tianxuan Pharmaceutical by yourself. ”
Patting his younger brother's equally dry old hand, Old Man Li Chu smiled and said with relief.
Hearing his brother mention the events of the year, Li Qi's face changed, and finally sighed, not wanting to argue with his brother.
Seeing that his younger brother was silent, the old man Li Chu said to himself: "When I was young, I was dedicated to studying medical skills, and I didn't care about anything else. Seeing that they have reached the age of thirty, they have no plans to get married and have children. Dad and his old man are urging you to get married as soon as possible and pass on the ancestry. I also know that you are not satisfied with the marriage arranged for you by your father back then, and you have always had resentment in your heart. ”
Thinking back carefully about the past, Old Man Li realized the feelings of some younger brothers who were forced by their father to arrange their fate.
"Dad, he's just eccentric! Why can you just do what you want with your hobbies? I must follow the path he arranged? You want to study medicine, even if you don't get married, your father doesn't say anything. I want to go into business, I want to go outside, but my father has to stop me and hand over the small pharmaceutical workshop of the year to me? ”
Listening to his brother talk about the past, Li Qi's breath became heavy, and he finally couldn't help but say.
"I know that my father may have been a little eccentric back then, and he wanted our Li family's Tianxuan needle to be passed on, and to pass on our Li family's medical skills. That's why they favored me a little and let me delve into medical skills......"
Seeing that his younger brother finally expressed his heartfelt grievances, Old Man Li Chu sighed low and defended.
"Brother, since you know, what did you persuade your father back then? Have you said anything about me? I took a small shabby workshop of our Li family back then and made it step by step into the current Tianxuan Pharmaceutical Group. How many hardships and tears I have suffered behind my back, how many tears have I shed, how many do you know? How much have you helped me? Now you know you're guilty? What did you do earlier? ”
The resentment and anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and Li Qi finally said the grievances that had been buried in his heart for many years.
Seeing his younger brother roaring excitedly, the old man of the Li family opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.
I was helpless and speechless, and I didn't know how to mend the rift between my brothers......
"Why did my father give you 51% of the shares and only give me 49% of the shares when he divided the family between our brothers? I'm not as good as you in everything, big brother? No matter what I do, my father and his old man can't look at me? Why is he so partial?! ”
Seeing that his brother didn't speak, Li Qi asked.
"Xiaoqi, maybe it's because my father's vision of the older generation is a little limited, and he always thinks that no matter what, there is no risk in being a doctor. And in the business of buying and selling, if one is not good, they will live on the streets with nothing. That's why he is very strict with you in everything and everything, and constantly sharpens you. ”
Seeing that his younger brother was still puzzled by his father, who had been dead for decades, the old man of the Li family sighed, the corners of his eyes were a little moist, and explained the reason to his younger brother in a low voice.
"The reason why my father forcibly distributed 51% of the equity of Tianxuan Pharmaceutical to me when he was dying despite your wishes is also to let me leave you a way out. In case Xuan Pharmaceutical goes astray, I will forcibly change your decision. If you think about it carefully, Tianxuan Pharmaceutical has said more to you in the past few decades, except for one or two life-and-death risk resolutions? When did I meddle in the affairs of Tianxuan Pharmaceutical? Even after Qingping graduated and worked, I didn't let him get involved in Tianxuan Pharmaceutical. ”
When a man is about to die, his words are good. What's more, facing his own biological brother?
Knowing that he didn't have a few days to live, the reason why Old Man Li Chu was talking to his younger brother alone today was also to untie his brother's knot for decades.
The old man didn't want to leave regrets when he was dying.
Richie sat aside, indignant, and turned his head away, without saying anything.
Although his brother's words made him understand some things, how could the knot in his heart for most of his life be untied in a few words?
"That young man named Chu Feng is a descendant of the Chu Qi people who were kind to our Li family back then. So I left him in our Li family, and by the way, I also repaid some of the kindness of that strange person to our Li family. Chu Feng had lost his memory, and now he couldn't remember the past without any relatives. If this young man has any difficulties in the future, Xiao Qi, you can help him by looking at the handle. After all, he is the benefactor of our Li family, and the money and debts are easy to repay, but the personal debts will not be repaid in a lifetime. Do you remember what Dad said when he left? ”
Seeing that he couldn't untie his brother's knot, the old man sighed in his heart and stopped saying more about the past.
"How many years ago, now our Li family has a big business, how much money does he want, let's just give it, and it can be regarded as a return of favor. But don't take him too seriously, right? ”
This time, I went back to the old house and wanted to discuss with my brother to hand over the Tianxuan needle to the Niwa family on the East Island, so as to exchange for the cooperation of the other party, so as to facilitate the opening of a branch factory of Tianxuan Pharmaceutical in the East Island. So when Li Qi said this, he also wanted to discuss with his brother about the Tianxuan Needle.
After all, Tianxuan Needle is the treasure of the Tianxuan Medical Pavilion, and when the family was separated, Tianxuan Needle and Tianxuan Medical Pavilion were both owned by his brother Li Chu. So in this matter, Li Qi can't be the master.
"I mentioned his matter to you, but I just explained it to you, and if you really encounter any situation in the future, if you can help, you can help this young man. Regarding the matter of returning the favor, I will leave it to Qingping to deal with, so you don't have to worry about it. ”
Seeing that his younger brother didn't care about this matter, the old man of the Li family was slightly angry, but he didn't want to quarrel with his younger brother again when he was leaving, so as not to hurt the feelings between the brothers.
"Brother, I came back today to discuss something with you. Yesterday, the person from the Higashijima Niwa family also found me. I pondered, recently our Tianxuan Pharmaceutical is preparing to open a branch factory in Dongdao. This Niwa family is a Wang clan on the East Island, since our family's Tianxuan needle is a family heirloom hundreds of years ago, let's return the things to others. By the way, when we open a branch factory in that country, it will be a little helping, what do you think? ”
After thinking about it for a while, Li Qi leaned closer and discussed with his brother.
Halfway through listening to his younger brother's words, the old man's face of the Li family had already changed.
"Brother, no matter what time you are, you can't forget your roots. This is the last entrustment given to you by my brother. Have you forgotten that our Li family made a hundred-year covenant with others? Have you forgotten your father's confession before he died? ”
I was furious, but I didn't want to quarrel with my brother anymore. The old man of the Li family said angrily and walked away.
Just now I didn't say a few words calmly to my brother, but he was angry again. Richie's face was gloomy and uncertain, and his chest rose and fell rapidly.
Just when the two old men of the Li family were chatting privately in the inner hall, Chu Feng, who was asking Li Shulei to teach him how to use a mobile phone in the side hall, saw a middle-aged man in his thirties walk in.
"Cousin, why are you here?"
Seeing her cousin Li Shuxiu walking in from outside the door, Li Shulei greeted her with a smile, and then introduced the two to each other.
Li Shuxiu, who was in his thirties, listened to his sister introduce Chu Feng, and he was also carefully observing Chu Feng.
The appearance is ordinary, and the clothes are extremely ordinary, so I can't see the slightest surprise.
This is the little benefactor of the Chu family that the family said?
After his sister introduced the two to each other, Li Shuxiu said to Li Shulei with a smile: "You go to the living room to see your little nephew, he just entered the door and talked about looking for your sister-in-law to play." I'll talk to Little Brother Chu Feng about something. ”
Li Shulei, who didn't have the slightest scheming, heard her cousin's words, and immediately smiled and went outside to find her little nephew, leaving Chu Feng and her cousin to chat privately.
"Little Brother Chu Feng, I want to discuss with you about our Li family's Tianxuan Needle, I don't know what you think."
Warmly beckoning Chu Feng to sit down beside him, Li Shuxiu said what he meant.
Looking at this middle-aged man in a straight suit and wearing gold-wire glasses, Chu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Huh? What do you know about the Celestial Needle? ”
Puzzled in his heart, Chu Feng asked.
"That's right, we Tianxuan Pharmaceutical are recently preparing to open branches abroad, and this family heirloom needle is of great significance to us. I heard the elders in the family say, Brother Xiao Chu, you came here to take away the Tianxuan Needle? I don't know if you can cut your love and complete the development of Tianxuan Pharmaceutical. Of course, I only represent Tianxuan Pharmaceutical, and I will give you very generous compensation. This compensation is not included in the compensation that our Li family has paid you for. How do you feel? ”
Li Shuxiu discussed with Chu Feng in a gentle voice, but Chu Feng listened to his words, but his brows gradually furrowed.
