Chapter 135 Professor Tang Buys Shares [Seeking Recommendation Tickets]

Tang Yiyuan was worried about how to further develop his relationship with Ge Dongxu, so he could legitimately consult him on medical issues regularly. Now that Ge Dongxu brought it up, they would become business partners, making it much easier to ask questions later on. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and hastily said, "That's exactly what I've been hoping for. However, when it comes to buying shares, I will invest my own money, my own money, and it can't be considered a technical investment. With you around, I can learn the technology, so how can it count as a technical investment?"

"Hehe, all I'm contributing is the recipe, and I independently own the recipe and the trademark. The herbal tea factory is free to use them only for the first five years; after that, they have to pay me a usage fee," Ge Dongxu explained.

"Of course, your formula is priceless," Tang Yiyuan said matter-of-factly. He understood the value of a formula created by Ge Dongxu far better than Cheng Yazhou and Wu Qianjin did.

"It's not that exaggerated, they're just some ordinary recipes," Ge Dongxu said.

"You're being modest. What's ordinary in your eyes is a priceless recipe in mine. So, let's not talk about technical investment anymore. If you're willing to let me buy shares, I'll put up the money. Otherwise, I'll work for you for free," Tang Yiyuan said.

"Alright, if you insist on giving me money, I won't be polite to you. Ten percent of the shares are fifty thousand yuan, and this ten percent is carved out from my share, so you can transfer it directly to me," Ge Dongxu said, seeing that Tang Yiyuan was resolute, and could no longer feign modesty. Besides, for a stalwart of the traditional Chinese medical community in Jiangnan Province like Tang Yiyuan, fifty thousand yuan was not a considerable sum.

"Deal! Give me your card number, and I'll transfer it to you later," Tang Yiyuan indeed didn't even frown at the mention of fifty thousand yuan and agreed promptly.

"Dad, it looks like you're going to get rich with Doctor Ge! Come on, let me toast to you both and wish your business prosperity!" Tang Yahui knew her father had never been interested in business, yet he had surprisingly invested in Ge Dongxu's factory, and she couldn't help finding it amusing as she raised her glass with a smile.

"Haha, definitely," Tang Yiyuan said laughingly, in a great mood, while Ge Dongxu felt somewhat embarrassed. Although he was confident in his recipe, what if it didn't sell and they lost money?

After settling the investment details, Tang Yiyuan couldn't wait to ask about the herbal tea recipe.

Going forward, Tang Yiyuan was already responsible for overseeing the production technology, so naturally, Ge Dongxu had nothing to hide about the recipe. He wrote it down for Tang Yiyuan right there and said, "I have to start preparing for the final exams soon, so I probably won't have time to get involved in the production research until the summer holidays. If you have time, you can go ahead and give it a try."

"Okay!" Tang Yiyuan carefully reviewed the recipe and noticed a Medicinal Guide, which made him very happy. "I was just worrying that once we scale up production, it would be hard to keep the recipe secret for long, and it would eventually get out. But with this Medicinal Guide, there's nothing to worry about. As long as we keep the Medicinal Guide safe, nobody else will be able to produce the real Qinghe Herbal Tea."

"Dad, what's this Medicinal Guide for the herbal tea?" Tang Yahui asked curiously.

"My child, I told you to study medicine with me when you were little, but you refused, and now you don't understand, do you? Herbal tea is essentially a decoction made from herbs, and since it's a decoction, it's natural to prepare it following the principle of the emperor, minister, assistant, and courier herbs. It's normal to have a Medicinal Guide. Modern herbal teas seem to lack this, so your surprise makes sense, but if you analyze it deeper, having a Medicinal Guide is not at all strange," Tang Yiyuan explained with a smile, pointing at Tang Yahui.

"I see! Now that you've explained it, I understand," Tang Yahui, having learned a bit of traditional Chinese medicine from her father in her childhood, immediately grasped the concept once Tang Yiyuan explained it.

Ge Dongxu and Tang Yiyuan then discussed more about the herbal tea beverage factory. Since Tang Yiyuan had become a shareholder, and Cheng Yazhou was very likely in Linzhou City now, Ge Dongxu thought it was a good opportunity for them to meet. Once acquainted, they could discuss certain matters directly without needing him as an intermediary. After all, he would have to return to class after the weekend and wouldn't have much free time on weekdays.

So Ge Dongxu got Tang Yiyuan's phone and called Cheng Yazhou.

Cheng Yazhou was quite surprised to receive a call from this unknown number, but when he answered, he discovered it was from Ge Dongxu and asked what was the matter.

Ge Dongxu then repeated to him the story about Tang Yiyuan buying into the company. Cheng Yazhou, being a businessman, naturally understood how significant it would be for the herbal tea factory to have a TCM university doctorate supervisor, a leading figure in Jiangnan Province's field of traditional Chinese medicine. It wasn't just about his network, but simply playing the card of his name alone would immediately elevate Qinghe Herbal Tea several notches, and this wasn't even touching on the production technology oversight, after all, the man was a doctoral supervisor, a university professor!

In the eyes of ordinary folk, especially in smaller places like towns and counties, a university professor, a doctoral student supervisor, that was someone they had to look up to with admiration.

So when Cheng Yazhou heard Ge Dongxu had brought Tang Yiyuan on board and that he'd actually become business partners with a university professor, a doctoral supervisor level person, he couldn't suppress a burst of pride and excitement. It was as if his own status had changed overnight, and he couldn't wait to meet Tang Yiyuan face to face. However, since Tang was still in Kuiji City and couldn't get away due to commitments that afternoon and evening, they would have to wait to meet until tomorrow or whenever Tang Yiyuan could come to Changxi County.

Although Cheng Yazhou couldn't immediately rush over to meet Professor Tang Yiyuan, he still asked Ge Dongxu to let him speak with Tang Yiyuan over the phone, where naturally all kinds of grateful and honored sentiments were expressed, leaving Yiyuan's face flushed with embarrassment.

What could he do? With Ge Dongxu there, what did it matter that he was a traditional Chinese medicine professor?

After dinner, the three of them returned to Jiang Region Jewelry to continue waiting for the Jade Token.

Around two o'clock, Ge Dongxu received the Jade Token. As he still had to give Liu Jiayao acupuncture, and he had a train to catch afterwards, Ge Dongxu hurriedly rushed to Yadu Garden after getting the Jade Token.

Just as Ge Dongxu reached the nineteenth floor, the elevator doors opened and he saw Li Min standing in the hallway, which made him exclaim in surprise, "Eh, Sister Li, what are you doing here?"

"Of course, I'm waiting for you. Just now Ms. Liu called me and said her flight was delayed. She was worried you might be anxious waiting for her, so she made a point of calling me, telling me to inform you. She didn't call me long ago though, I reckon the plane still hasn't taken off yet. You should give her a call."

"Alright, I'll go inside and call her right now," Ge Dongxu said as he opened the door. "Come in and sit down."

"No need, I've done my part by letting you know," Li Min said, waving her hand.

It's actually quite inconvenient for a single man and a single woman to be alone together, and besides, this is Liu Jiayao's home. Seeing Li Min decline, Ge Dongxu didn't insist.

PS: I recommend a book by a new author named Rentimeishi called "Days of Survival on a Deserted Island with a Beauty", a tale many men have probably fantasized about. Alright, I might be being unclean here, because the true tale for men should be Robinson Crusoe. Anyway, it's a new author, new book; for those who like this genre, please add it to your shelf and give your support.
