"But what do you need a military company for? Selling arms? It makes money, sure, but even if I get someone to set it up for you, do you have arms to sell?"
Meeting Old Man Lin's suspicious gaze, Su Yi still grinned and said:
"These are all minor issues, no need for you to worry, Old Man. Anyway, I won't be selling arms domestically or anything. Even if I dared to sell, no one would dare to buy, right? We don't do illegal stuff."
"That's right, as long as you don't mess around in Kyushu, you can do whatever you want. I agree to this matter."
Old Man Lin agreed immediately.
Clearly, Su Yi guessed correctly. These things were not difficult for Old Man Lin at all; he could probably solve them with a single sentence.
"But why does a rundown farm like yours need security? Are you afraid people will steal your vegetables?"
This old man is quite trendy; he must have played Happy Farm a lot.
Su Yi complained inwardly but still mysteriously explained:
"Old Man, to be honest, I have a technology to cultivate special flora and fauna using that medicine from earlier. Inducing evolution and mutation in flora and fauna with this technology will have various effects. Some of them may even be better than the medicine you just drank in treating illnesses."
"Cows raised with this technology, if their meat and milk are consumed for a long time, can greatly enhance physical fitness, maybe even turn people into superhumans."
"Really?" Old Man Lin asked suspiciously.
He had always regarded the light green liquid Su Yi gave him as some kind of lost traditional Chinese medicine formula, a medicinal liquid brewed from various herbs.
Medicinal liquid... can also promote the growth and mutation of flora and fauna?
Isn't that a bit too abnormal?
"Of course it's real, haven't you already drunk it?" Su Yi said immediately:
"Old Man, I won't hide it from you, this thing is more powerful than you think."
"It's a top-secret formula passed down from my ancestors. Back then, to protect this formula, my ancestors were even chased by Qin Shi Huang. It's been passed down for dozens of generations to me. Our family has been famous doctors for generations, relying on this formula."
"If I remember correctly, your father used to be a small construction contractor, later resting at home due to injuries, and your mother opened a small convenience store. Your grandfather was an authentic farmer, and so was your maternal grandfather. I haven't heard of any famous doctors in your family?" Old Man Lin asked, feigning confusion.
"This is called a great hermit in the city, those who understand will understand, I can't say much to those who don't. In short, that's the situation, just tell me if you acknowledge me as a divine doctor."
Old Man Lin looked him up and down, nodded, and said:
"Doesn't look like it, doesn't feel like it, but from the results, you are more capable than those so-called divine doctors."
"That settles it then!" Su Yi clapped his hands:
"In short, that's the situation. If you help me get it done, I'll treat you to a meal."
"..."
Old Man Lin was speechless.
The people who want to treat him to a meal can line up from Jiang City to the Imperial Capital. Which one isn't begging to have a meal with him?
Only this kid in front of him, when he invites him to dinner, it's like he's the one taking advantage.
But he doesn't seem to be able to say anything, because the guy really has the ability, and if those things with special effects are really cultivated by Su Yi, he'd really like to try them then.
"Alright, alright, I agree to this matter. Then this matter is settled, we're even," Old Man Lin said immediately.
These things seem like small matters, and with his position, a simple instruction would suffice.
But the risk behind it is not small.
If Su Yi really obeys the law as he said, then there's definitely nothing wrong.
If he creates something ruthless in these unregulated laboratories, research institutions, or factories, he won't be able to escape responsibility.
They are all things that are not difficult to handle, but the follow-up will be very troublesome.
If it weren't for the real life-saving grace, Old Man Lin wouldn't have agreed at all.
This is equivalent to using his old face to vouch for Su Yi, whom he has known for less than a day.
"By the way, there's one more small matter." Su Yi pointed to Yue Ling:
"This is my wife, brought back from abroad. Anyway, due to some complicated reasons, she doesn't have a registered residence abroad. I want to get her a proper registered residence; this is a small problem for you, right?"
Old Man Lin opened his mouth, wanting to scold him for being insatiable, but after thinking about it, he wisely closed his mouth.
Kyushu is such a big country, with such a large population.
Before the management was as strict as it is today, and various equipment was far less developed than it is now, there were many unregistered people.
With the increasingly strict management methods in recent years, coupled with the gradual digitization of society, it is almost impossible for unregistered people to move an inch.
Many people are re-registering their residences.
The official side has its own set of procedures.
Compared to those previous things, this is really just a small matter.
"I can help you with this matter, but if you want to get it done quickly, it's best to give her an identity, find someone to vouch for her, and preferably find someone to prove that she did live here before, just without a registered residence."
Speaking, Old Man Lin looked at Yue Ling, and suddenly an idea came to him:
"How about this, don't bother looking for anyone. I think this girl looks pretty and is also smart. Why not say to the outside world that she is a girl from my Lin family who was lost and recently found. With our family's guarantee, this matter can be done for you this afternoon."
"Having such a beautiful granddaughter, I, Old Lin, will have face outside in the future. What do you think?"
This is already a very straightforward overture. Su Yi is not stupid and of course understands what the old man is planning.
If he really follows his suggestion and makes Yue Ling a member of the Lin family, even if only in name, at least the two sides will have a bond in the future.
Moreover, outsiders don't know about this. People who don't know the truth will see that the Lin family has helped Su Yi with so many things, and the nominally lost daughter is still Su Yi's wife.
Naturally, they will regard him and the Lin family as a whole.
He is also equivalent to being tied to the Lin family.
If it were someone else, even the richest man in Kyushu, even if unwilling, it would probably be difficult to refuse Old Man Lin's words.
After all, with his status, he has already taken the initiative to show goodwill, and if you refuse, you would be too ignorant.
But Su Yi is different.
He doesn't need to care about these things. In the future, these dignitaries will have plenty of times to ask him for help. Now is the time for them to give him face, not for him to give them face.
The matters between the two sides today were originally just a pure exchange of benefits.
"I don't think so," Su Yi shrugged:
"The identity problem is easy to solve. Just give her a registered residence in my home in the name of husband and wife. As for social relations, I will solve them."
Old Man Lin was not angry when he heard this, just smacked his lips with some regret and sighed:
"That's a pity."
Helping someone get a registered residence would make Su Yi become the Lin family's son-in-law, and even the daughter is provided by Su Yi himself.
This is simply beneficial to the Lin family without any harm.
But since he doesn't agree, he can't mention it again.
