Chapter 1449: Chapter 342_6
President Tan’s face showed a trace of embarrassnt upon hearing the voice, yet he still nodded slightly.
“It’s not the right president you need to talk to.” Cao Zhen looked down at his Pill Furnace again and said, “I’m very busy and have no ti to waste here with you. Since you can’t make decisions, you should go find your president who can make decisions to talk with .”
“Please wait a mont, Sect Leader Cao.” Vice President Tan said, imdiately turning around and leaving the room.
Tan Xiangmin followed him out, looking curiously at his uncle, “Uncle, didn’t you say we must always rember we are people of the Rare Treasures Comrce Association? Why are you going to find the president now?”
Vice President Tan’s face darkened instantly and he said unhappily, “I said that because of the way he talked about Alchemy, but didn’t you hear his business proposal just now? Didn’t you find it to be a terrifying business plan? Do you know… Forget it, talking to you is pointless. I’m going to find the president.”
Vice President Tan quickly found the person in charge of Rare Treasures Comrce Association in the Eastern Province and recounted all the details of the business plan he saw in Cao Zhen’s room.
The Alchemy Conference is not a trivial matter for the Rare Treasures Comrce Association, as it only happens once every thousand years. And it’s not just Vice President Tan who handles it; the reason he’s in charge of this Alchemy Comrce is that he’s a trusted confidant of the president.
“Genius, truly a genius!” Across from Vice President Tan, a tall, slightly overweight man exclaid excitedly, “He’s truly a genius. Do you know where his genius lies? It’s not in what you said about bundled sales, nor anything about shared buying. The most genius part is slicing off a deal!
No, I need to see him right now. I need to talk to him alone. Wait outside for a mont.”
The president of the Rare Treasures Comrce Association said this, then turned and flew outside, not even waiting to manage Vice President Tan behind him.
Cao Zhen had just sent Vice President Tan and the others away when there was another knock on the door. A tall, slightly plump man walked into the room.
The mont the man entered, his eyes lit up as he looked at Cao Zhen and introduced himself, “I am the person in charge of the Rare Treasures Comrce Association in the Eastern Province, Tao Zhenghe, at your service, Sect Leader Cao.”
“Speak properly, don’t stare.” Cao Zhen was really uncomfortable with Tao Zhenghe’s gaze. If it were Immortal Bi Yue, or Li Ke, or even Ling Xi looking at him like that, he could accept it. But a burly man staring at him like that, what was he trying to do? Man-on-man? He was afraid if this guy kept looking, he’d throw him out.
“Alright, alright.” Tao Zhenghe did indeed stop looking at Cao Zhen when he heard it.
Only then did Cao Zhen begin to speak, “You’re the president, right? You don’t have any young masters or other higher-ups, right? You should be able to make decisions, right? I don’t want to waste ti talking with soone who can’t make decisions.”
Tao Zhenghe imdiately assured him, “I can make decisions. During this Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, the entire Rare Treasures Comrce Association is under my command.”
“That’s better.” Cao Zhen nodded slightly and said, “You know the conditions I ntioned before. Can you fulfill them, or can you agree to them?”
“Of course, I can agree.” Tao Zhenghe unexpectedly agreed swiftly but didn’t finish his sentence, instead continuing, “However, I’m still a bit puzzled by Sect Leader Cao’s business proposal. Even if it’s franchising, there are problems, like in places where no one wants to join.”
“That’s simple. If there’s no franchise, I won’t look for one. I can set up so special Talismans with all our products on them, so one can know the prices through the Talisman… Is that kind of Talisman hard to make? I have disciples who are top-notch Masters of Talisman Making…”
“What? How to collect goods? We can deliver them…”
“Do you have any other questions? If you want to raise brand awareness, that’s too easy. We just do a Double Eleven sale… Don’t know what Double Eleven is? Let tell you…”
Cao Zhen explained a heap of issues to Tao Zhenghe, and at last, he suddenly realized and said, “Going into more detail would be a business secret that I can’t share with you. If you want to know, there’s no problem, or you could let beco a shareholder of your Rare Treasures Comrce Association. Then, I can guarantee your performance in the Eastern Province would be the highest among the five major continents of the Rare Treasures Comrce Association. Just not sure if you have the authority for that.”
“Becoming a shareholder?”
Tao Zhenghe hadn’t expected Cao Zhen to propose becoming a shareholder in the Rare Treasures Comrce Association. Letting Cao Zhen beco a shareholder would be remarkable!
He heard this and imdiately shook his head, “I don’t have the authority to let you beco a shareholder of the Rare Treasures Comrce Association. Moreover, why would you want to beco a shareholder? The Rare Treasures Comrce Association is already such a giant. Even if they agreed to let you beco a shareholder, how many shares could they give you?”
Tao Zhenghe paused slightly, his eyes blazing as he looked at Cao Zhen and said, “Let’s do it together, you and I!”
Cao Zhen, sensing Tao Zhenghe’s fervent gaze and the suggestion of “doing it together,” nearly smacked Tao Zhenghe away, but quickly realized and asked in surprise, “Wait, are you considering defecting? Don’t understand what defecting ans? I an, you’re planning to leave the Rare Treasures Comrce Association? You’re the president!”
“So what if I’m the president? The president just helps the Rare Treasures Comrce Association to make money, but the money isn’t mine. Let tell you, I’ve long had thoughts of going independent. The Rare Treasures Comrce Association is too domineering. I find it hard to contend with them alone! But now, having you and your ideas, I have confidence that we can overturn the Rare Treasures Comrce Association!”
“So all your previous questions were to find out how to confront the Rare Treasures Comrce Association after we go independent and see how many chances we have to overthrow the Rare Treasures Comrce Association.”
Cao Zhen realized it too and looked at Tao Zhenghe, asking, “But why should I work with you and not with soone else?”
“It’s simple. You work with , and you’ll imdiately gain thirty Divine Weapons.” Tao Zhenghe pointed to himself and said, “I’m still the president of Rare Treasures Comrce Association, and whoever cos first or second is up to .
Moreover, as the president of the Rare Treasures Comrce Association, I understand it better and naturally know how to defeat it!”
