Chapter 575: Sassy! (Second Update)
It's no easy task to have so many people in Yang City drink ancient Han health wine mixed with ingredients.
Therefore, Yi Chen would naturally not place all his hopes solely on the sales promotion by the feigned Divine Doctor.
To get more people involved in something, the most compelling thing is naturally self-interest.
Whether it's about boosting virility or guaranteeing the birth of male heirs, it's essentially just selling health anxiety, but there's inevitably a significant portion of the population who are more cautious and don't follow suit.
After all, no matter how little money is spent, it still costs money. People are used to saving, and such a method of dissemination is too slow. Yi Chen doesn't have time to wait because such a large-scale action would inevitably catch the attention of some interested parties.
So, the actions must be swift!
Since speed is essential, Yi Chengzi can't help but use some low-level tricks, but after all, it's all for justice. Yi Chen's method is to kill two birds with one stone, luring out everyone in Yang City's greed to form a terrifying self-propagation.
"Dear... dear nephew, no, Young Master Yi, I believe you can make a big profit from this move, but with such a huge business deal, my old Guo Family fears making a fortune without a life to spend it!"
"Young Master Yi, you have profound cultivation; if worse comes to worst, you can leave with your Jade Coins, but my Guo Family must continue to stay in Yang City, facing anger from many major households."
For Yi Chen's bold move, Father Guo, who has long been riding waves in the business sea, can naturally see the embedded profits, but he can also see the immense risks involved.
After truly gaining insight into Yi Chen's purpose, Father Guo starts to panic, looking at Yi Chen in alarm.
To him now, Yi Chen has become a monster that devours people whole, and he can't even begin to guess what this suddenly transformed Young Master Yi intends to do.
"Uncle, don't panic!"
"If Uncle is frightened, we can try a different method. How much is your cost for this business? On that basis, Yi will add a thirty percent profit and introduce you to a prominent figure from the Heavenly Star Sect, allowing your Guo Family to take the top seat in Yang City from now on, how about that?"
"The Qiens, Lis, and Zhus currently have their Family Heads suddenly deceased, and their families have suffered heavy losses due to theft. They are in urgent need of recovery. If we hit them hard again this time and get their shops and properties into our hands, Uncle Guo, you'll rise to great heights."
"With the Heavenly Star Sect connection, even the powerful figures behind the three families will have to begrudgingly swallow this loss. After all, no one is forcing them with a knife to their throats!"
"Everything is their own greed, their own folly. Business is like a battlefield; Uncle Guo, you should understand this more than your young nephew."
"In exchange, Yi Chengzi will take all the profits from this business deal. How about it, Uncle? Are you willing to gamble with Yi?"
A large hand suddenly rests on Father Guo's shoulder; in the light of day, the big and fat face of his sweats profusely, as he finds himself torn in a battle within.
To Yi Chen's surprise, it didn't take long for the big and fat figure before him to calm down, and he said gravely:
"Dear nephew, that big figure from the Heavenly Star Sect, are you confident in securing his protection for our Guo Family?"
"Let me put it this way, Uncle Guo, my relationship with that figure from the Heavenly Star Sect is so close that it can be described in four words—like peas in a pod!" Yi Chen paused, and then a sincere smile spread across his face,
"Uncle Guo, if I didn't have a connection with the Heavenly Star Sect, you wouldn't think I relied on my own cultivation to reach where I am today, right?"
"Opportunities are not always available; if you don't seize certain things now, you may never possess them for the rest of your life!"
Yi Chen's words resounded in Father Guo's heart like the devil's temptation, trembling all over, Father Guo suddenly straightened his robe and bowed deeply to Yi Chen:
"I entrust everything to you, young master!"
"This round, my Guo Family is all in!"
"Good! The more you buy, the more you win, Uncle Guo, you will never regret your decision today. If it wasn't for Young Master Yi, you would already be outside right now, gathering Jade Coins to purchase ancient Han health wine."
"You should know, not just anyone can collaborate with me."
Yi Chen grinned and drained the fine wine on the table in one gulp, then strode out of the Guo residence.
"Dad... Dad, are we really betting so big? I feel estranged from Brother Yi now..."
"My son... Did we make a mistake?"
It was only after Yi Chen's silhouette had completely disappeared at the door that Young Master Guo stutteringly inquired of his father, clearly understanding the dangers involved.
Yi Chen wasn't just thinking about making a profit but about completely uprooting the major households of Yang City.
"My son, there's risk in everything you do."
"What Young Master Yi said is very true, buy more, earn more. This is an opportunity for our Guo Family, a chance to become immensely wealthy for generations. You don't understand the hardships your father has endured over the years. It's not that your father's methods are inferior to the Qien, Li, and Zhu families!"
"It's because your father doesn't have powerful backers for our Guo Family!"
"If a pig gets too fat, it will be slaughtered. Haven't you realized, Young Master Yi's incessant troubles given to the three families, is he seeking revenge for the Yi Family? When the Yi Family fell, all the great and small nobles of Yang City had a share, making gains, even our Guo Family got a piece of the soup."
"Dad... The relations with the Heavenly Star Sect mentioned by Brother Yi, are they reliable? I still feel uneasy." Young Master Guo expressed his concerns.
