As they moved out of Cangbei Province, the expansion rate on the map gradually stabilized.
After all, even though the online hype was growing hotter, transportation was becoming more ti-consuming.
Both factors offset each other, so the speed gradually stabilized.
But even so.
Lao Ganma Chili Sauce still managed to cover a province every three days on average!
So.
A month and a half later.
Lao Ganma had covered fifty percent of the entire country!
And this was achieved through the tireless efforts of a hundred thousand people, step by step, conquering territory.
And by this mont, the so-called blockade had beco a joke.
Now no supermarket, no person dared to refuse to stock and sell Lao Ganma.
Unless they wanted to be beaten to death by those who couldn’t get it!
So, while it seed like fifty percent, in reality, it was actually one hundred percent!
Only, not all of it was achieved through carpet-style selling!
But, this was already a miracle!
"Alright, let everyone co back now, it’s enough."
Lu Xiaobu stood up, stretched lazily, and said to Liang Lan.
"Yes, Young Master."
Liang Lan nodded.
Indeed, it was enough; continuing any further was aningless.
Moreover, other industries had also halted production for so long that the stock was completely depleted; this could not continue.
Upon receiving Lu Xiaobu’s order, the tired employees, one by one, happily headed back.
Back ho!
They had won!
They had accomplished it!
This battle for the honor of Young Master Bu, they won!
To what extent did they win?
To the extent that in the chili sauce section of every supermarket across the country, other brands were ignored, but as soon as Lao Ganma arrived, it was swept off the shelves.
Every day, Liang Lan received endless calls pressing for more supply.
Liang Lan was thoroughly annoyed.
After all, if there had been enough people in the group, it wouldn’t have been her job to deal with such calls.
So, her temper was rather rough.
"Hello, is this Lu Group? We want Lao Ganma, as much as you have!"
"None, get lost!"
"We want..."
"What do you want? We have nothing!"
"No, what we want is cola."
"That too, none available, just wait!"
"..."
Probably only Lu Group could dare to curse these suppliers like this throughout the country!
anwhile!
The entire internet was exploding.
"They actually did it!"
"One hundred thousand people? Conquering with their legs step by step?"
"Forcefully breaking through the blockade?"
"Spread Lao Ganma Chili Sauce across the entire nation!"
"Lu Xiaobu is freaking aweso, to make a hundred thousand people willing to die for him!"
"Really, now when I eat chili sauce, it’s only Lao Ganma, I can’t eat anything else!"
" too, sa here!"
"I as well!"
"However, Qi Zhendong doesn’t seem to have been hit!"
"You noticed that too! The desperate plan they spoke of was this carpet sale, it wasn’t really about hitting Qi Zhendong!"
"Yes! Lu Xiaobu has once again swept the whole world!"
"Qi Zhendong must be going crazy now!"
"..."
Qi Zhendong isn’t crazy, not yet!
He had smashed everything inside his office to bits!
"F*ck! What the hell is this conspiracy theory! Damn desperate plan! All just to scare the hell out of ! F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!"
He was so damn nervous for a month and a half, and in the end, he gained nothing.
Several companies tead up to blockade, failed!
Huge investnt into the research departnt to decrypt the secret recipe, failed!
And yet he lost in such a frustrating way.
That’s right, frustrating.
If Lu Xiaobu had just beaten him with money, that would have been it!
He would have accepted it, after all, he never thought he could completely win!
But!
He actually lost in this era where it shouldn’t even exist, this almost ridiculous carpet-style sales!
And the funniest thing is, he has been panicking all this ti!
But nothing ca of it!
Even a brick hitting wouldn’t even count as a waste of effort!
Damn it!
Probably the only person in the whole world hoping to get hit!
...
Shin.
The employees all ca back.
Lu Xiaobu personally welcod them, as if welcoming his warriors, no, not as if, it is exactly what he was doing!
The previously beauty-loving girls have tanned and lost weight, their faces covered with weather-beaten lines.
Yet they laugh and say they succeeded in losing weight and even saved money on costics.
The programrs and office workers who usually stayed indoors had grown muscles, walking with a vigorous stride.
They were gesturing to each other, showing no signs of frailty.
"Everyone, great job!"
Lu Xiaobu saw those faces filled with tiredness, excitent, and pride; he raised his right hand high and clenched his fist: "We’ve won! This kingdom was conquered by you!"
"We won! Yay! Young Master Bu is aweso!"
Everyone raised their right hands, faces filled with fervent emotion!
They won! They won!
At this mont, their hearts were filled with ecstatic joy!
"Young Master Bu, well, how much did we earn?"
An employee asked excitedly.
He wanted to know just how much they had made.
After all, without earning money, all of this would be pointless.
"We earned a billion!"
Lu Xiaobu blurted out, he didn’t even know how much they really made.
Liang Lan just smiled silently next to him.
Did they earn? Maybe they did!
"A billion!?"
The hundred thousand employees suddenly exclaid, their faces showing joyful smiles.
It was worth it!
To earn a billion for Young Master Bu in just forty-five days!
This is just fantastic!
"Alright, everyone go rest, tonight, we’ll have a celebration banquet! There will be bonuses!" Lu Xiaobu looked at their smiles and laughed.
"Alright!"
Employees happily ran ho.
They were really tired.
...
At this mont, many economists and businessn were already analyzing this desperate endeavor.
They wanted to see just how much Lu Xiaobu, a person known for his unexpected strategies, had earned this ti.
After much data analysis, computations, summarization, and repeated verification!
They ca to a maddening conclusion!
The profit from a jar of Lao Ganma Chili Sauce was rely between thirty to fifty cents.
And in these forty-five days, even disregarding the costs and only considering Lao Ganma’s profit.
It barely amounted to over forty million.
But how much did Lu Xiaobu invest?
billion!
A full 60 billion!
Don’t think this number is high, after all, Lu Xiaobu deployed a hundred thousand people.
billion spread among each person was just sixty thousand each.
Forty-five days of eating, drinking, toileting, sleeping, plus accidents, dical expenses, etc.
Sixty thousand, not a lot! Really not a lot!
After all, just the accommodations and transportation fees could take up half of it!
This ans.
Lu Xiaobu lost 60 billion this ti!
And this number was nearly equal to all of Lu Xiaobu’s assets.
They even got insider information that Lu Xiaobu, who never borrows, took a loan of ten billion from banks!
Upon reaching this conclusion, everyone’s first reaction was disbelief.
Who would be foolish enough to undertake such unprofitable efforts?
With those 60 billion, opening specialty stores across the nation would be more than enough!
But no matter how they calculated, the figure still never decreased, it only grew!
Because, they suddenly realized, other industries of the Lu Group were also affected!
The result was, no matter how they saw it, this was a thoroughly wasteful act!
Could the Lu Group be going bankrupt?!
Liang Lan did not know their thoughts, but even if she did, she would only scoff at them!
A bunch of short-sighted fools!
