For half a month, Dulong Island was bustling, with the sound of firecrackers and special celebratory talisman lights continuously bursting in the sky.
With the market opening, the formidable background and strength demonstrated by the Tianyi Corporation allayed any concerns among the various corporations, leading them to lease storefronts in the Market of Dulong Island to establish branches.
Basically, every corporation that ca to celebrate rented a storefront in the Market of Dulong Island to open a branch.
Businesspeople have the keenest senses and are the most astute calculators. During the early stage of market opening in Dulong Island, storefront rents were not expensive. With a small investnt, occupying one or two pri locations, as long as the market of Dulong Island did not collapse within a short ti, they wouldn’t lose money.
As long as the market of Dulong Island showed so progress, they would be able to make a profit.
Therefore, with the asure of the opening day of the market of Dulong Island, corporations ca from all sides to celebrate, and any with a bit of calculation from the Three Great Water Palaces inside and outside the island forces also rented storefronts to open a branch.
In total, the corporations brought by Hua Changjun, including Hua Changjun himself, opened twelve branches; fifteen small corporations from the surrounding Water Palaces, along with the nearby island forces and their corporations, made it nearly fifty corporations opened on Dulong Island within a short half month.
This doesn’t include the fact that a few far-sighted businessn had already transported a batch of cooks and brothel girls within just a few days, establishing two taverns and three brothels on the island, suddenly enriching the nightlife on the island.
anwhile, various other shops, like tea houses, clothing stores, and even agencies had started renting storefronts to establish themselves.
A sight of prosperity.
Of course, these businessn are clever, and Tianyi Corporation isn’t foolish either. According to Gai Jun’s suggestion, no matter who it is, including the current major custor Hua Changjun, leases for storefronts can only be signed for one year. However, upon expiration, they can enjoy priority renewal rights, but within the next five years, rent will be discussed annually; after five years, it can be discussed every three years.
Additionally, a year later, corporations on the island must pay managent fees, security maintenance fees, and other miscellaneous fees. Ye Zhen entrusted all these details to Gai Jun.
Ye Zhen himself enjoyed the leisure, taking ti to cultivate and refine artifacts amidst the busyness.
Within just half a month, the batch of sixty thousand Red Yin Grass released by Tianyi Corporation was completely sold out.
It should be said that these sixty thousand Red Yin Grass were released within one day, prepared by Tianyi Corporation for the rchants brought by Hua Changjun.
On the first day they were brought out, they were snatched up by eleven rchants including Hua Changjun, and at a high price of one high-grade Spirit Stone per plant. This doesn’t even count the additional ten thousand Red Yin Grass privately sold to Hua Changjun to express gratitude.
Aside from Red Yin Grass, other rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Primordial Continent, like Flowstone Vine, were all for sale, along with hundreds of other more precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Primordial Continent.
However, according to Gai Jun’s sales strategy, other than the Red Yin Grass, there were very few quantities of three strange Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures including Flowstone Vine from the Primordial Continent. Apart from ten thousand pounds of Flowstone Vine, the numbers of the other two could almost be ignored.
According to Gai Jun, if the scarce resources in the market originally rush in large scale, it will inevitably lead to a price collapse.
To maintain profit, even if so Red Yin Grass rots, it cannot be allowed to flood the market excessively, causing a price collapse.
According to Gai Jun, it’s just the market opening, needing to satisfy the various rchants who ca from afar. In the future, Tianyi Corporation will release batches of Red Yin Grass every month in the Market of Dulong Island, with quantities depending on market reactions.
At most thirty to forty thousand, at least ten to twenty thousand, maintaining a seller’s market at all tis to ensure the highest profit.
With this calculation, the annual sales of Red Yin Grass might range between five hundred thousand to seven hundred thousand plants, but the annual production of a million plants cannot be fully absorbed.
However, the profit is still considerable.
Moreover, according to Gai Jun, monthly batch sales are enough to bring major rchants to Dulong Island multiple tis, causing unquantifiable prosperity effects.
Anyway, the inventory of Red Yin Grass and other Heaven and Earth Spiritual dicine have been entirely handed over to the Great Saint of Jinghai and others to manage, from whom Gai Jun monthly collects sales.
Ye Zhen doesn’t care specifically how much is sold or the thod of sale. Ye Zhen will only be concerned about the annual net profit and the construction of the Market of Dulong Island in the future, planning to thoroughly beco a hands-off manager.
The night descended, and Dulong Island once again fell into a hazy mist. Ye Zhen’s gaze looked far towards the center of Dulong Island.
"Since you’ve targeted my big affair, don’t bla for being ruthless... It’s ti to settle..."
Muttering softly, Ye Zhen’s figure suddenly vanished.
At the peak of Dulong Island’s center, a delicately crafted Silent Chamber stood there, surrounded by a few flowers and plants, appearing exceptionally elegant.
However, from within the serene Silent Chamber, a low voice erged at this mont.
"Elder, in just half a month, the number of Seven Surnad Clan mbers joining the defense forces has exceeded two hundred thousand; even half of the Miao family’s population has been urged by Miao Jianghai to join the defense forces.
We can no longer command these clan mbers who joined the defense forces. Emboldened by the Sky Wing Trading Company’s power, they don’t even regard the elders of the clan.
If this continues, our Seven Surnad Clan on Dulong Island will be completely swallowed by the Sky Wing Trading Company." This was the worried voice of the Great Clan Leader Chu Shengting.
"Humph, as if I didn’t know, but why don’t you reflect on yourselves? If you can’t keep the hearts of your own clan mbers, can’t unite them, the Seven Surnas of Dulong Island will be destroyed in the hands of the Sky Wing Trading Company, even disappearing under the hands of the Ground Wing or Air Wing Trading Companies.
"Don’t you see what you all have been doing over the years?"
"When it cos to taking Spirit Stones and benefiting, each is more eager than the last. But when it’s ti to stand up for the clan mbers, everyone runs away faster than the other!" The only Realm King Realm strongman of the Seven Surnad clan on Dulong Island, Chu Zhao, began to yell angrily.
Chu Shengting looked ashad, "Ancestor, the Seven Surnad clan only has so little capital, what can we use to fight others?"
"No ability, and you’ve lost your courage as well? Look at your descendants, what else can they do besides oppressing the clan mbers?" Chu Zhao continued to scold angrily.
With Chu Zhao’s outburst, Chu Shengting no longer dared to speak. After waiting for Chu Zhao’s anger to subside, he finally said in a low voice, "Ancestor, things have co to this point. Even if change is considered, it will take ti. But the Seven Surnad clan cannot wait any longer. Without any ans to respond, the clan is on the verge of splitting apart."
"Sigh......"
Chu Zhao sighed deeply and waved his hand, "You go first, let think."
After Chu Shengting left, a faint bitter smile appeared at the corners of the mouth of the Seven Surnad clan’s ancestor, Chu Zhao. Who said he didn’t have any ans, it’s just......
"Who?"
While he was smiling bitterly, Chu Zhao’s expression suddenly changed as he stood up abruptly and looked toward the doorway.
"Mr. Chu!" Ye Zhen stood at the door, clasping his hands from afar.
"Manager Di?" Upon recognizing Ye Zhen, Chu Zhao’s expression turned extrely puzzled. He really couldn’t figure out what Ye Zhen wanted by coming to his Silent Cultivation place at this ti.
However, he was an old fox with years of experience, and he still had so ability to adapt, "Manager Di’s esteed presence brightens this humble abode indeed, please have a seat, let brew a pot of Spiritual Tea for the honored guest."
"No need for tea brewing. I’m here today for two matters I want to discuss with Mr. Chu. Please sit." Ye Zhen took the initiative and sat down on a jade mat inside the Silent Chamber.
Chu Zhao’s eyes were filled with confusion. Even with his insight, he really couldn’t decide what Ye Zhen was here for.
"The first matter is actually not a big deal. So ti ago, after the Market Opening Ceremony, I sent soone to suppress the ten heroes of Pinglu Island affiliated with Zou Ba.
Eventually, five of the Pinglu ten heroes were killed, and the remaining five scattered like birds and beasts. Now, the influential gang of Pinglu ten heroes who ruled the nearby sea has vanished into thin air," Ye Zhen said.
After the Market Opening Ceremony, Ye Zhen had instructed Fengg Jiumo to go to Pinglu Island to assassinate the remaining seven, to eliminate future troubles. However, those guys reacted too quickly, and Fengg Jiumo only managed to kill two of them; the others vanished without a trace upon getting the news.
Fortunately, according to the intelligence, all ten of the Pinglu ten heroes were notoriously vicious figures in the North Sea Waters, only gathering for the convenience of swallowing big rchants, scattering like birds at the slightest disturbance.
Otherwise, even with Fengg Jiumo present, dealing with them would have been extrely difficult.
"Vanished into thin air....." Chu Zhao’s expression showed a trace of awkwardness but quickly returned to normal, "Manager Di indeed uses.....thunderous thods."
"Hehe, my thunderous thods pale in comparison to Mr. Chu’s borrowing-a-knife-to-kill technique," Ye Zhen laughed.
Upon hearing this, Chu Zhao’s face changed dramatically, "What’s Manager Di talking about, how co I don’t understand?"
"Don’t understand?"
A cold smile suddenly surfaced at the corner of Ye Zhen’s mouth, "Mr. Chu probably understands very well, doesn’t he? The leader of the Pinglu ten heroes, Zou Ba, wouldn’t provoke my Sky Wing Trading Company without a reason in public, right?"
"Zou Ba?"
Chu Zhao frowned, "Manager Di, where is this coming from? I have been cultivating in seclusion on Dulong Island practically every night and don’t know anyone nad Zou Ba, let alone contact him.
Manager Di wouldn’t happen to be making an unfounded accusation, right?"
"Mr. Chu lives up to his reputation, Zou Ba is dead, and Mr. Chu washed his hands clean with that shove. Unfortunately, in my actions, evidence has never been a concern."
Ye Zhen smiled and shook his head. He had anticipated this.
"You....."
Realizing sothing was off, Chu Zhao’s expression changed drastically as Spiritual Power suddenly surged around him.
But at that very instant, a terrifying spatial fluctuation rose from Chu Zhao’s location, startling him into retreat.
A blood-red blade light carrying boundless Evil Qi appeared straight behind Chu Zhao as Ye Zhen’s voice sounded, "If I were Mr. Chu, I would obediently stand still at this ti."
The next instant, Chu Zhao’s face turned ashen, all the blood drained from his face!
