After eating a trench and growing wise, Li Fan made certain adjustments to the coal mountain medicinal materials wholesale city project that was being planned.

While taking into account the interests of all parties in the cultivation of medicinal fields, while using mechanization to improve efficiency, some fine work with little difference in man-machine efficiency is changed to manual labor, and the original contracted medicine farmers are hired to give them a stable job of ensuring income in drought and flood, which is estimated to be accepted by most medicine farmers.

Originally, it was planned to transform the idle factory buildings next to the Coal Mountain Jade Wholesale City into several medicinal herb wholesale cities, but this time Li Fan did not plan to be wholly owned by Fanlong International, and in order to take care of the Chen family pharmacy and hospital in the coal city whose interests might be damaged, he could try to invite people from the Chen family to join the shares.

Now the infighting of the Chen family is very strong, Chen Sanye and Chen Liuye are helping the beautiful, and now the forces of the two of them are united to fight with the forces of the Chen family master and Chen Siye, and the second master of the Chen family is staying out of the matter and not helping each other.

Chen Fugui, the son of Fourth Master Chen, was killed by Li Fan, although the truth has not yet been ascertained, but it is a time bomb after all.

Comparing the two sides, Li Fan chose to stand on the side of Chen Sanye and Chen Liuye without hesitation, and when the two of them invested in the Coal Mountain Medicinal Materials Wholesale City, Fanlong International could also use the retail pharmacies and hospitals under the names of the two of them to solve some of the problems of medicinal material sales.

At the same time, Li Fan made empathy at the same time, if Chen Sanye and Chen Liuye cooperated with Fanlong to operate the Coal Mountain Medicinal Materials Wholesale City, in addition to economic interests, politically, they could also use the name of helping the laid-off workers of coal mountain state-owned enterprises to re-employ to get closer to the municipal government, and in the long run, they might also expand their business to the Greenstone Country, which can be said to be beneficial and harmless.

In addition to the company's interests, Li Fan also has some personal considerations.

Chen Sanye is a medical expert of the Chen family, and with his joining, not only may Fanlong International expand other businesses in the field of medicine, but Li Fan will also have the opportunity to learn the medical knowledge accumulated by the Chen family for hundreds of years.

Chen Liuye is known as the peerless genius with the best qualifications in the Chen family for hundreds of years, and all the kung fu of the Chen family has been practiced by him, but I heard that he was stimulated by something, so that he fell into a slump and borrowed alcohol all day to kill his sorrows.

Chen Meili was brought up by Chen Liuye, Li Fan has a good impression of Chen Liuye because of this, if the cooperation goes well, not only will he have the opportunity to learn some of the Chen family's kung fu from him, but the most important thing is to be able to see Chen Meili often and understand the specific situation of her recovery now.

With a clearer idea of business matters, Li Fan's next focus is still on personal cultivation.

After the battle with the wild wolf, Li Fan felt that his skills were still too poor.

The mad wolf obviously has a hand, Li Fan can only barely cope with it with all his strength, if he encounters a life-and-death duel, it is impossible for the other party to keep his hand, and he can only be a lamb to be slaughtered at that time.

And doing business touches the interests of all parties is a common thing, no matter how strong the company is, the boss is destroyed, everything is in vain.

The practice process is relatively slow, and if you want to greatly improve your skills in a short period of time, you can only rely on good medicinal materials to strengthen it, but Li Fan searched for a while and found that these good medicines were basically looted by major families and organizations, and ordinary people couldn't buy them with money.

Fortunately, Li Fan was able to find some medicinal materials from Giant Ape Island that were a little older, but the total amount would definitely not be able to sustain his long-term consumption, not to mention that he still had to take care of the five people of Danya, Nie Qingqing, Zhang Cheng, Lu Zhong, and Wang Wu.

You have to find some other way to protect yourself first, Li Fan ran to the cliff on the edge of the island to sit quietly and think about this problem, and finally had some ideas at dusk.

This time against the wolf, the telekinesis played a big role, especially the control of sand and dust and the movement of the body that came to mind when the opportunity was prepared, it is better to focus on practicing the telekinesis first, and practice some similar methods of controlling the sand and the body......

Li Fan also found that the cultivation of Yuan Qi is mainly to guide the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth into the body, taking medicine does not help much, the True Qi can only be condensed by itself, and the medicinal materials have a great stimulating effect on the body.

And now good medicinal materials are very scarce, and the practice of True Qi Kung Fu has been greatly restricted.

Thinking of this, Li Fan began to practice the Nian Shift Gong behind closed doors, and the Vajra Fist Method was put on the back burner.

From moving a few rocks to moving a large amount of sand to form a small sandstorm, from controlling one's body to drift through the air to immobilizing a beast for a certain amount of time through one's mind, from moving simple objects to remotely controlling complex mechanisms.

This practice is a month, three days before the opening of the Jade Festival, a total of nine layers of Nian Shift Gong were successfully practiced by him to the third layer, and with the help of Father Li and Wang Wu, he made a lot of props to cooperate with Nian Shift Gong.

Hongyu stayed in the coiling dragon metal plate around Li Fan's neck and witnessed his cultivation process for this month, and was very emotional, and asked puzzledly:

"Little brother, when I was a human being, I practiced hard for more than ten years to reach the first level of the Nian Shift Gong, and I practiced for hundreds of years to reach the second level after being a ghost, how can you practice to the third level in two years? Teach me your tricks!"

Li Fan smiled and teased: "I take homemade decoction every day to replenish my body, and my strength is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary people, but unfortunately you are a ghost, and you can't drink it if you want to!"

Hongyu was not convinced, and said, "Don't bluff me, you can't drink some decoction medicine so much faster than me!"

Li Fan pretended to be thinking, and said seriously: "It may be that your qualifications were too poor when you were a person, and you didn't absorb enough yin qi as a ghost, so the progress is so slow!"

Hongyu was reminded by Li Fanyi, and suddenly became angry, and said, "You also said that you sucked me away last time and cultivated for several years and haven't returned it to me!"

Hongyu's words made Li Fan fall into deep thought, and he came to the cliff on the edge of the island and began to look at the sea water in a daze.

Hongyu didn't dare to anger Li Fan, and asked cautiously: "Little brother, why are you unhappy?" It's that I said the wrong thing, a few years of cultivation is nothing, you don't need to ...... it."

Li Fan shook his head and said, "I'm not unhappy, and you didn't say anything wrong, it's just that what you just said reminds me of a friend who has been separated for a long time......"

Hongyu saw that Li Fan was missing his old friend, so she didn't dare to continue to disturb him and stopped talking.

Where are you? It's been more than two years, and I haven't heard from you at all, and I haven't replied to secret conversations......

Li Fan's mood became more and more melancholy, and a wave of thought power was issued, rolling up the sea water under the cliff and scattering into the air, controlling pieces of water to swirl and roll on the sea surface.

The next day, Li Fan took Wang Wu, who had practiced the Vajra Fist to the peak of the low level, back to the Coal Mountain Jade Wholesale City and personally checked the progress of various work.

Zhang Cheng Luzhong successfully completed the first shipping of jadeite rough, held an internal jadeite rough auction of jadeite merchants, and all preparations for the jadeite festival were basically completed.

Li Fan was very satisfied after learning about it, and on the same day, Zhang Cheng and Lu Zhong were promoted to the position of operation director and administrative director of the Fanlong International Coal Hill Project, and Wang Wu was appointed as the security director.

Zhang Cheng's future focus will be on managing the operation of the Jade Wholesale City and the nearby hotels, restaurants, bars, and streets, while Lu Zhong will focus on the shipping of jadeite rough and the procurement of other materials.

Wang Wu is responsible for recruiting and training security guards to maintain the security of the Coal Mountain Jade Wholesale City and all the surrounding apartments, hotels, restaurants, bars, streets, etc.

The work on the side of the Greenstone Country was also relatively smooth, with Danya letting Wu Wei fully manage all the rough mining in Emerald Mountain, while Dan Tuo was mainly responsible for militia training and management.

Everything is ready, and the Coal Mountain Jade Wholesale City opened as scheduled.

Due to the early publicity is very in place, the city leaders also high-profile to cut the ribbon, all the media have earned enough advertising fees of Fanlong International after the publicity, the Jade Wholesale City opened on the crowd, batch zero sales are extremely hot.

The boom in the jade business has also led to the business of the Coal Hill Hotel, restaurant and bar street, and the deserted Coal Hill Mine has now become the most popular place in the coal city.

Ding Feng took a few directors of the Ding Group to the Coal Mountain Jade Wholesale City for a walk, and felt very uncomfortable, and saw the bar street and restaurant hotel behind the Jade City were very popular, so he pulled down his face on the spot and scolded several supervisors behind him, saying that they knew that they were engaged in capital operation and had no business philosophy, so Li Fan picked up a treasure in vain.

As soon as several supervisors discussed, they felt that there was no need to worry about the matter that had already been completed, and now the key was that Li Fan's affiliated entertainment and catering business had robbed the Ding Group's passenger flow, and several leisure and shopping plazas of the Ding Group in the city center had now become a little deserted.

Ding Feng usually doesn't go to his company's leisure and shopping plaza, and when he heard a few supervisors say this, his mood changed from regret to anger, and he got out of the car with a calm face, thinking about how to yin Li Fan and bring down his business.

Li Fan was so busy with all kinds of entertainment that he didn't even know that Ding Feng was coming to the scene, and he didn't know that he had been seen by Ding Feng as a thorn in his side.

A few days later, trouble came.

Three male guests shouted in public at the restaurant that the food was unhygienic and that there were flies and cockroaches in it.

In order to calm things down, the restaurant manager gave them a waiver, but the three guests still didn't give up, took pictures and posted them on Weibo and WeChat to publicize it.

Some tabloids and online self-media in the coal city seemed to have discussed it, and the next day they collectively reprinted a large number of Weibo and pictures posted by the three guests, causing an uproar among the citizens of the coal city.

Li Fan began to think that there was indeed a problem with the hygiene of his restaurant, and after an investigation, he found that except for this wave of guests, no other guests reported that the food was unhygienic, and there was not a single fly or cockroach in the restaurant.

Some people are jealous that our business is good, and they are in the shade!

After finding out the truth, Li Fan summoned several supervisors to the conference room that night to study countermeasures.

Some people say that the health bureau should be asked to review the hygiene status of the restaurant and issue a notice for the safety of the people.

Some people said that they should call the police and investigate the three people who came to find fault.

Li Fan listened for a while, but no one found the point of the problem, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and said: "Don't you think it's not normal for the multimedia to report this small matter on the front page of the group the next day?"

As soon as Li Fan said this, Zhang Cheng immediately reacted and said: "Yes! This is very abnormal, it means that there are people behind the manipulation! Can you find out who the three people who found fault and who the person in charge of the media who reported this incident met and confiscated the money?"

Lu Zhong then said: "If we can control so many media to attack us in a short period of time, the person behind it must be very powerful! There are not many people like this in Coal City, so let's make a list and investigate them one by one!"

Wang Wu said: "The target is our catering and entertainment business, most of which are done by competitors in this area, and looking at the entire coal city, Ding Feng is the most suspicious!"

Li Fan nodded to Wang Wu and said, "You analyzed it very well, I also think that Ding Feng has a problem, and all coping strategies are directed at him first." ”

"Zhang Cheng, you will deal with it according to the usual method tomorrow morning, and ask the Health Bureau to help issue a notice. Lu Zhong, you immediately contact the mainstream media that we have worked with, pay them to write a few articles overnight tonight, and put them on the front page early tomorrow morning, analyze this kind of bad methods to smear competitors, and give some cases to enhance the public's immunity against such rumors. ”

"Wang Wu, you will choose some reliable subordinates tonight, and let them start secretly investigating those three people and the relevant media that reported this matter tomorrow, pay attention not to reveal their identities, and collect as much evidence as possible. As for the rumors that are spreading on the Internet, I have already figured out a way, and I will deal with them after the meeting. ”

After the work was arranged, the meeting was dismissed immediately, and everyone went their separate ways.

After Li Fan returned to the conference room, he used secret chat to contact his friend Liu Le, asking him to help create a large number of virtual accounts with the intelligent network water army software he had just designed, and attacked the person who posted the rumor in the comment area of all the Weibo, WeChat, blog, and posts about the restaurant rumors that could be searched, with ulterior motives, proving that the Coal Mountain Restaurant was no problem at all.

Liu Le and Li Fan grew up together since childhood, and they are iron buddies, and they have a lot of support for Li Fan in terms of technology.

Li Fan has been persuading him to leave the Ma family's technology company and start a business with himself, but Liu Le said that there are still some things that need to be completed with the help of the Ma family's laboratory, and he can't leave for the time being.

This time, Li Fan brought up the old matter again, and Liu Le finally agreed to be the part-time technical director of Fanlong International under the persuasion of his three-inch tongue, and began to plan the establishment of the technical department of Fanlong International.

Liu Le is very professional in computer software and hardware, and the secret chat software he designed before was very easy to use, and now he uses the network water army software he just designed to show his might.

A few days later, the Internet changed from a one-sided complaint about the Coal Mountain Restaurant to a one-sided sympathy for the Coal Mountain Restaurant being maliciously smeared.

At the same time, the front page of the mainstream media published a witty article by several professional journalists, and reprinted an environmental impact assessment notice issued by the Health Bureau that positively supported the coal mountain restaurant, and the negative impact of the restaurant incident was basically eliminated.

Wang Wu's investigation has not progressed much, and it is not even certain which force is responsible for it.

Liu Le used hacking techniques to hack into the chat software and bank accounts of the subjects of the investigation, and found no evidence.

The investigators only found that the three men and some media people who reported negative news about the restaurant had been spending lavishly lately, which was not commensurate with their usual spending grades, but this was not much evidence.

Li Fan felt that there might be anti-reconnaissance masters among the people who planned to smear him, and the negative impact had now been basically eliminated, so that Wang Wu did not have to spend effort to continue to investigate those people, and changed the focus of his work to how to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
