179: How can you say such pretentious words so calmly!

Liu Town's expression was complex, unsure how to speak. He had originally wanted to rely on negotiation to handle the matter as smoothly as possible. After all, the Three-Leaf Clover Group was the leading enterprise in the Medicinal Pill industry. Currently, the Pingdan Group's production capacity was only enough to cope with the Qing City and Liang City areas. Expanding further would Face heavy resistance and numerous difficulties.

Many things not only depend on money but also on strength, connections, improving production technology, and price wars.

Despite the Three-Leaf Clover Group's many flaws, it had indeed stabilized the situation on the larger scale, providing a safety net for people's livelihoods.

Zhao Shoucheng's attitude was also very amiable, offering very reliable profits and conditions, giving sufficient Face to himself, the Business Alliance, and the Stick Figure Great Power. He made concessions on profits in exchange for the Three-Leaf Clover Group's development potential, leaving room for maneuver.

Then.

Tang Gao directly overturned the table, refusing to give an inch, and angrily slapped the Zhao Family Old Ancestor's Face.

Could he scold him? Yes, he could.

Should he scold him? Perhaps not.

This was very Tang Gao, but not commercial, nor political.

Inside the room, the Zhao Family members were heartbroken. After kowtowing, they had long since left, covering their Faces, unwilling and ashamed to stay there.

The representatives from Qing City looked at each other, only feeling the coming storm and rumbling thunder.

But everyone was sensible, quietly withdrawing, knowing that they were merely grasshoppers on a rope, without the weight to influence this confrontation between the Great Powers.

Liu Town took a sip of spiritual tea, looking at the table full of delicious dishes, and sighed regretfully: "What a pity for a table of good dishes."

Tang Gao snorted disdainfully, picked up his chopsticks, and grabbed a piece of king crab meat: "These ignorant fellows, if they don't eat, I will!

Waiter, besides these few dishes, please pack everything else for me and send it to Qingkai No. 1 Student Villa.

Oh, and bring me a bowl of noodles. Eating only dishes without noodles always feels like I haven't eaten enough."

Tang Gao was in a good mood, eating happily, feeling that he had broadened his horizons today. This high-end restaurant indeed had good flavor, a sense of layering, and an excellent texture.

Liu Town was speechless for a moment, then waved his hand to stop the waiter: "Pack that table for me too, and send it to the military district family compound. I'll take it back for my wife to try something fresh."

Tang Gao clicked his tongue: "General, that's not right of you. You're actually using the deceased's justice as a bargaining chip."

Liu Town really wanted to slap Tang Gao, but remembering that this was not his son after all, he ate a couple of bites of food, adjusted his mood, and slowly said:

"You're satisfied, you're happy, you've vented your temper.

This mess, what do you expect me to do?

The Zhao Old Ancestor was a hero who followed the Dan Emperor in battle, making great contributions to the Xia Dynasty, and even assisted the Dan Emperor in cultivating the first batch of elite Alchemists for the Xia Dynasty, promoting the barefoot Alchemist policy, and personally compiled the first ten generations of Alchemist manuals for the Xia Dynasty.

It wasn't until the national medical system was initially established that he retired behind the scenes to Cultivate in seclusion.

Is it appropriate for you to slap his Face like this?"

Tang Gao frowned: "Just because he made great contributions, he can let his clansmen run wild? Can the serious crimes committed by the Three-Leaf Clover Group be exempted? Can the dead be resurrected?

I say I broke a leg, and you say someone else had both legs amputated. Does that mean my leg can be reattached?

What kind of nonsensical Dao is this, sacrificing fairness for peace?

If we concede one city today, we'll concede ten tomorrow. When disaster strikes, where will we find room to make up for it?"

Liu Town was no longer annoyed, his expression calm, his tone softened: "The fault lies with lax supervision, the people below are the ones who broke the law. Those who should be punished, punish them; those who should be killed, kill them; those who should be imprisoned, imprison them. Why must you make such a mess?"

Tang Gao slammed his chopsticks directly onto the table, glaring angrily:

"Fools can never be completely caught! However, killing an incompetent idiot and replacing him with a dedicated guardian will make him clear out theWoodworms himself!

Compromise, compromise, you always compromise! What a compromise!"

Liu Town remained silent, slurped a mouthful of noodles, and slowly said: "I'll handle the next steps. Remember to check on the production of the core machine.

If the Three-Leaf Clover Group pressures us, I can guarantee that within five years, the Pingdan Group can operate stably and ensure medical care for the common people."

Although their views differed, no matter what, Tang Gao was still a Mountain State native, a member of the Northern Military System.

Liu Town was unwilling to conflict with Tang Gao over this.

Liu Town showed great magnanimity, picked up his teacup, raised it, and offered it, his expression calm: "Let's clink cups with tea instead of wine. Let go of the unpleasantness from before after this drink. Five years from now, whether we can keep the Pingdan Group will depend on our abilities.

This matter is very difficult, but I will do my best to protect the Pingdan Group."

Tang Gao clinked cups, took a shallow sip, his eyes calm, his tone firm: "I will be responsible for this matter. If you encounter any technical or reserve issues in the future, just come to me. I'll solve them."

Liu Town clicked his tongue: "Alright, I won't be vague either. If the Three-Leaf Clover Group applies pressure, these Pill Formulas and reserves are simply not enough. We definitely can't outlast the Three-Leaf Clover Group.

Unless you can come up with new Pill Formulas and open up new tracks, allowing us to avoid competing with the Three-Leaf Clover Group on the old tracks.

A 20% efficacy advantage is enough to resist a technical barrier for a while, but it's not enough to form a long-term advantage."

Tang Gao took out a USB drive, placed it on the table, his expression relaxed: "You don't say, I really do have this."

Liu Town looked speechlessly at the USB drive on the table: "New Pill Formulas?"

Tang Gao nodded: "A thousand of them, including new enhanced Pill Formulas and other regular consumables, as well as regular military consumable Pill Formulas."

(Note: Chapter 160: The Shennong Alchemist expressionlessly took out a stack of plans and placed them in front of his Clones: "Stop complaining, get to work. Optimize it by at least 20%, and then we also need to create multiple series of Medicinal Pills to ensure profit. We need to stabilize for at least ten years to ensure the Qing City Medicinal Pill Group stands firm."

After optimizing Medicinal Pill efficacy, sales volume will inevitably decrease. At this point, new Medicinal Pills will be needed to increase revenue, otherwise, it will trigger a series of chain reactions.)

Liu Town suddenly gasped: "How can you say such a boastful thing so calmly!"

Such a powerful weapon! You're only releasing it now!?

If you had brought this out earlier!

I would have dared to bark at Zhao Shoucheng with a stiff neck!

To hell with compromise!

I hold a killer weapon! I am awesome!

Tang Gao chuckled: "Study hard, watch closely. I don't believe that if we stack up a hundred thousand layers of technical barriers, the Three-Leaf Clover Group can still crush us?"

Liu Town quickly grabbed the USB drive and put it into his spatial ring, not having time to eat: "I'm going to win over other people within the Military System. Competing with the Three-Leaf Clover Group based on this opportunity is very risky.

But!

Stabilizing the Medicinal Pill market advantage in the Mountain State region and uniting the Northern Military System to form a barrier is absolutely no problem!"

Liu Town didn't have time for more words, hastily cupped his fists, tore through space, and fled far away, rushing to find the Alchemy Department to conduct a wave of experiments, and then using these things to win over others to form an alliance.

Tang Gao clicked his tongue twice, sighing: "He's really not steady. He should at least finish eating before leaving."

After a while.

The space next to him was torn open, and a figure walked out.

Tang Gao was slurping noodles, not even turning his head: "Forgot to take the packed food? Go after you're done, no rush."

Zhao Yuan bowed slightly, cupped his hands, his expression solemn: "Cultivator Tang, the Old Ancestor requests your presence."

Tang Gao turned his head, raised an eyebrow, and looked at him: "What? Planning to find a place to bury me?"

Zhao Yuan smiled bitterly: "I wouldn't dare. The Old Ancestor is waiting for you at General Slope in Liang City. He wishes to have a private conversation with you."

Tang Gao simply said "Oh," and continued to devour his food with his chopsticks: "Alright, I'll go after I finish eating. I haven't eaten tonight, and my stomach feels uneasy."

Tang Gao wasn't afraid of a ninth-level Old Ancestor. After all, he had the Undying Demon God's talent and infinite Reincarnation.

At worst, he would Cultivate to a high level and directly let him choose a method of one-on-one combat.

Either he fights against a group of my Clones and two major races alone.

Or a group of my Clones and two major races fight against him alone.
