People thought that the Louise clothing brand, Viscount Red Wine, and Prince Perfume all belonged to the Goth Consortium, but unexpectedly, they were owned by this young man.

Just from Viscount Red Wine, Professor Lange knew that this wine wasn’t cheap, with significant annual income, and this young man planned to invest all that money in pharmaceuticals.

"Now, Louise helps me manage the company affairs here in Europe, and I have my own affairs in the country, having also invested billions in Hong Kong."

"Mr. Ye, are you sure you’re not a second-generation rich?"

Actually, the other person wanted to ask if Ye Qiu was a second-generation official, or had some sort of connections, but it seemed it was all him.

"I’m not some second-generation rich; my parents are just ordinary citizens."

Ye Qiu never really cared who his biological parents were or what their background was.

So, he only recognized Ye Weidong and his wife.

"Mr. Ye, given your situation, you’ve already made a lot of money, so why invest so much in acquiring a pharmaceutical factory?"

"That’s my concern."

There was no need to discuss this with the other person.

"By the way, I’m not sure why Dr. Wei Bo invited you to discuss with me. Currently, many pharmaceutical factories in Europe are up for acquisition, but his is arguably poor, having ceased operations for several months, lacking in talent, with only some equipment and a large amount of debt left."

"Mr. Ye, with your resources, you could indeed acquire other more reputable companies, but I think you could acquire Dr. Wei Bo’s factory because I trust Dr. Wei Bo. If you cooperate with him, I can introduce a lot of research talent to you, even from Helenburg University, Germany’s G15 universities, and other European universities."

Introduce talent from elsewhere?

In the 21st century, what’s most important is talent. Ye Qiu has always thought of acquiring talent, and he’d absorbed so much Soul Consciousness.

Many among these Soul Consciousness individuals were high-caliber before they died, enabling him to become capable of anything now.

However, Ye Qiu knew innovation happens daily, so relying solely on his brain, even with absorbing more Soul Consciousness, he couldn’t handle everything.

"Is this why Dr. Wei Bo invited you here?"

"Indeed, it is."

It was clear that Dr. Wei Bo understood his and the pharmaceutical factory’s situation, and had no choice but to let Ye Qiu acquire the factory. However, if he involved Dr. Lange, the situation would appear different.

Moreover, Ye Qiu also knew the pharmaceutical factory would need more talent in the future.

"Couldn’t I find other talent through other means?"

"Mr. Ye, it’s easy to say, but it’s difficult if you’re not part of this circle."

Dr. Lange said.

"Very well."

Ye Qiu smiled.

Yet, Ye Qiu remained silent.

Dr. Lange said, "Think about it thoroughly."

After Dr. Lange and Ye Qiu finished talking and went outside, Ye Qiu followed them out. However, there was no surprise on his face, nor any other expressions. Even Louise and Dr. Wei Bo couldn’t discern what Ye Qiu was thinking.

Both Louise and Dr. Wei Bo, as well as Dr. Lange, were high-IQ scholars, inherently extraordinary individuals.

However, understanding people is not solely about intelligence, and Ye Qiu is someone not easily understood by others. So, even those familiar with him might not necessarily know what he’s thinking.

"Let’s go for a walk."

Ye Qiu invited Louise and Liu Lingxiu to go outside.

Germany’s environment is pleasant, as expected, with the scenery outside looking like a painting. If it were in Huaxia, such views might only be found in Inner Mongolia or the Northern Border.

Lately, Liu Lingxiu had grown tired of it, finding it quite normal now.

The three walked a long distance, and Louise asked, "Qiu, that Professor Lange is highly regarded in Europe’s scientific and medical circles. What were you discussing with him?"

"He was tempting me."

Tempting you?

How could a grown man tempt Ye Qiu?

Even Louise and Liu Lingxiu were puzzled.

"He tempted me with research talent, saying if I acquired Dr. Wei Bo’s pharmaceutical factory, he could introduce a lot of talent to me in that field. I was indeed tempted; talent is most important to me, and Huaxia lacks such talent."

"So did you agree?"

Louise asked.

Ye Qiu shook his head and said, "No, I need to think why this Dr. Lange did this. Could he have a vested interest in the pharmaceutical factory?"

"That shouldn’t be the case; the Wei Bo Pharmaceutical Factory belongs to Dr. Wei Bo himself and has no vested interest with Dr. Lange. The reason for what he said might be due to Dr. Wei Bo."

"Louise, what do you think?"

"Dr. Lange is a person of good character and can be trusted."

"But why would he do that? After all, Europe and America have many pharmaceutical factories and research institutions, and other major companies can provide funding."

"I’m not sure; it requires time to investigate."

Louise said.

Ye Qiu paused, his gaze fixed on the distance.

Liu Lingxiu and Louise stood by Ye Qiu, neither knowing what he was thinking.

Ye Qiu came from the Imperial Medical World, and to Huaxia, he might genuinely feel nothing. His feelings were merely for the family and friends around him now.

Honestly doing something for Huaxia, changing something, had never crossed his mind because his sense of belonging to Huaxia wasn’t strong.

In his view, people in this world are akin to ants, whether rich or poor, with lifespans at most over a hundred years.

But in Heaven, what does one hundred years matter? It’s nothing.

Now, Ye Qiu realized that since he came to this world, he might as well do something, leaving behind his undying legend even if he Ascends back to the Heavenly Court Imperial Medical Bureau.

"Qiu, should I ask someone to investigate this Professor Lange?" Louise suggested again.

With the caution ingrained in the Gauthier Family, Louise thought it prudent to investigate, although Professor Lange had a stellar reputation among European scientists, even nurturing a Nobel Prize winner, not to mention other award-winning students.

"No need. A person’s eyes can’t lie to me. I just saw that Professor Lange wasn’t deceiving me."

Ye Qiu made up his mind.

Originally, if it was only about Dr. Wei Bo and his pharmaceutical factory, Ye Qiu wouldn’t be interested, but now, according to Dr. Lange’s terms, Ye Qiu considered it quite favorable.
