Chapter 969 Women Make Money for Beauty!

“Who is the old master?” While handing over the sheepskin scroll to Fang Qiu, the old man asked casually with a smile.

“What old master?” Fang Qiu took over the scroll, looked at the old man with a puzzled face, and pretended that he didn’t understand what he was saying at all.

“Haha,” The old man laughed heartily.

He was aware that John Doe didn’t want to answer.

However, he couldn’t force John Doe to answer. If they confronted each other like this, both of them would inevitably be embarrassed. Hence, he could only laugh off.

The old man changed the subject. “This guru sword is indeed remarkable. I can take it back to my little grandson.”

“You start to train him since he’s a child. You’re truly far-sighted, Senior.”

Fang Qiu gave a thumbs-up and exclaimed.

“Even if he has been training since he’s a kid, he may not catch up with you.” The old man shook his head and sighed with emotion.

Fang Qiu smiled.

He put away the sheepskin scroll, held a fist salute to the old man, and said, “Senior, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.”

“Okay.” The old man nodded and said, “Please.”

After saying that, he personally walked John Doe to the gate of the CCP Hotel.

Soon, the manager of the hotel and the person in charge of the auction house also came.

They watched Fang Qiu leave.

The old man held the wooden box containing Guru Sword in one hand and said to the two people next to him, “Remember, be polite to John Doe in the future. Don’t provoke him if you don’t have to. This person’s potential is enormous. He will definitely surpass me.”

What!

Hearing this, the faces of the restaurant’s manager and the head of the auction house changed dramatically in an instant.

This old man was the guardian of their auction house and most of the people in Wulin looked up to him. It was because of him that no one in Wulin dared to cause trouble in Chic Cloud Pavilion.

With such huge deterrence, it could be seen that the old man’s strength must be formidable.

However, the old man said that John Doe would definitely surpass him in the future!

If that was true, it was certain that they couldn’t provoke John Doe.

While they were shocked, what the old man said was engraved on their hearts. They regarded John Doe as a key figure in their hearts. No matter what happened in the future, they must not provoke such a man with terrifying potential. If there was a chance, they must try their best to draw him over to their side!

After he left the Chic Cloud Pavilion, Fang Qiu opened the sheepskin scroll and took a look on the road.

He found that the information recorded on the scroll was more detailed than what he got from the previous auction.

“Qinxi, Mount Hua?” Taking a closer look at the information and map recorded on the sheepskin scroll, Fang Qiu found that the Heaven Treasure recorded on it was actually in Mount Hua.

“According to the information recorded, it will take another three days for it to mature.”

After reading it, Fang Qiu counted the time, nodded gently, and bought a plane ticket to Beijiang with his phone. He planned to go back to the cultivation base first to see how everyone was doing.

Two hours later, Fang Qiu returned to the cultivation base.

“Eh?” Seeing Fang Qiu come back, He Xue was stunned. She immediately followed Fang Qiu to the office and asked, “What a surprise that you come back so soon.”

“I come back to see how your preparations are going,” replied Fang Qiu.

“Everything is ready.” As soon as they talked about work, He Xue immediately became serious and said, “We’re about to start production and the pre-order plan will be announced two days later. The pre-order will officially start in five days.”

Fang Qiu nodded with satisfaction and asked, “Quite fast. Did you set the price?”

He Xue nodded and said, “It’s settled. According to the data given by Mr. Zhao Shanlin and the data provided by the employees of Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation, we finally set the price of every box of Holy Flowers Formula to be 1,500.”

“Is it that expensive?” Hearing this price, Fang Qiu couldn’t help but be amazed.

This price was 50% higher than that of the Trillium Root-Securing Pill.

One box of Trillium Root-Securing Pill was only sold at 1,000 yuan.

“Isn’t the price too high? Will anyone buy it?” Fang Qiu couldn’t help asking.

“Tut-tut.” He Xue glanced at Fang Qiu scornfully and said, “How can anyone think the things they sell are expensive? And you’re looking down on the women of this era. Even if it costs 3,000yuan, people will still buy it, let alone only 1,500yuan. This price is far less than that of a big-name bag.”

“Women are so fierce now?” Fang Qiu was taken aback, for he never expected that women’s purchasing power would be so high now.

He Xue asked, “Why do women make money?”

“I don’t know.” Fang Qiu shook his head.

“The purpose of women making money is for beauty!” He Xue knocked on the desk as she said, “The purpose of men making money is to make women beautiful! Do you understand?”

Fang Qiu gave a wry smile and muttered, “Well… Doesn’t a man make money to contribute to society?”

Hearing Fang Qiu’s muttering, He Xue once again gave Fang Qiu a scornful look and said, “This is modern society. In this day and age, everyone is thinking of themselves. If you become rich, it’ll be considered making contributions to society. How can you be so old-fashioned? You’re such a male chauvinist!”

Fang Qiu gave a wry smile.

If she thought he was, he got nothing to say.

Anyway, he didn’t think he was wrong.

Pouting her lips, He Xue replied, “All right. I’ve already reported everything. I still have a lot of work waiting for me to do, so I can’t sit back like an irresponsible boss like you.”

Fang Qiu answered, “Go ahead with your work. I’ll wait and see.”

Two days later, at eight o’clock in the evening, the official Weibo account of the Renyi Group finally sent the second post as everyone was expecting.

“As the main product of the first batch in our group, the Holy Flowers Formula, will officially start pre-ordering three days later. Because the medicinal materials needed by the Holy Flowers Formula are very precious and rare, the first batch of products is limited. By then, we hope our customers can go to the official website of Renyi Group to place orders.”

As soon as the post appeared, it immediately caused a heated discussion on Weibo.

“What the f*ck, another preorder?”

“Damn, they’re following the previous trick again.”

“What the hell? We’ve been waiting for so long and even the money is ready. How can you let me pre-order it?”

“I’ve suffered a lot in the pre-order. I haven’t got a chance to buy the Trillium Root-Securing Pill and Life-prolonging Earth Pill even once. Now when I see the word ‘preorder’, I’m terrified. Can you stop this kind of sly trick?”

“It seems that we may not be able to buy it.”

“It can’t be the same 37,500-pack sh*t again, can it? So many people want to buy it. If you dare to only offer this small amount, I’ll f*cking kill you.”

“It’s terrible. This hunger marketing is too annoying. Can you not play this kind of trick and directly let everyone buy it?”

“We strongly demand a complete purchase for all. Even if the amount is not enough, we strongly demand for letting everyone buy it. We can pay the deposit, and then you can produce the product according to the order of the deposit. You guys can send the product as soon as you produce it. In this way, we don’t have to worry that we can’t buy it and won’t get annoyed because we have to scramble for it!”

“I strongly request an open purchase.”

In the blink of an eye, the netizens’ sentiments were quickly aroused. Everyone asked the company to have an open purchase.

Seeing the netizens so excited, the official Weibo account of the Renyi Group released the third post an hour later.

“Dear customers, thank you for your concern about the Holy Flowers Formula. Renyi Group also understands everyone’s needs and hopes that everyone can buy the product. But in order to ensure the quality and remarkable effects of the Holy Flowers Formula, we can’t make a mass production about this product. Renyi Group is a corporation centering on the quality of goods. We will never decrease the product’s quality for profit. Hence, we’re sorry, but we can’t make open sales. Thank you for your patience and understanding!”

This post.

Although it sounded like a cliché, the key points were clearly listed, making it impossible to refute.

Should they choose quality or quantity?

This was a multiple-choice question.

As for the public, of course, they would choose the first one.

For most companies, the most correct choice was the latter, but for Renyi Group, they only had one choice, which was quality!

Although the response of their official Weibo account could be considered perfect, it still caused a large number of netizens to complain about it.

“What the f*ck. If you can’t produce a certain amount, why do you promote the pre-order?

“That’s right. If the quantity is not enough, you can sell it when you make enough products. Why do you always launch pre-order?”

“That’s too shameless. It seems high-sounding. In fact, this is hunger marketing!”

Netizens all left comments to attack the company.

As they were criticizing, they actually set the alarm and reminders of their mobile phones to remind them, for fear that they would forget it and fail to make a pre-order.

“Beep, beep, beep…” In the office of the Beijiang cultivation base, Fang Qiu was skimming Weibo. While looking at the heated discussion caused by the pre-order announcement, the phone in his trouser pocket suddenly rang.

He took out his phone and had a look.

“Song Yaqi?” Fang Qiu was surprised.

Why did this celebrated singer suddenly call him?

“Hello?” Thinking of this, Fang Qiu immediately picked up the phone.

“Fang Qiu?” Song Yaqi’s familiar voice came from the other end of the line.

Fang Qiu nodded and asked with a smile, “Yeah, I am. Superstar, why do you have time to call me?”

“I don’t have time to call others, except you.” Song Yaqi answered with a smile and then asked, “In fact, I’m calling to ask you if you can get the Holy Flowers Formula which goes viral these days. I heard that you have a good relationship with Yang Ningyuan, so…”

“I should be able to get it before the pre-order starts,” Fang Qiu replied after pondering for a while.

“Really?” Song Yaqi was delighted and immediately asked playfully, “Do you want free advertising?”

“What do you want to do exactly?” Fang Qiu gave a wry smile.

Song Yaqi said, “Can’t you see it? I want to ask you to help me let Renyi Group sell me a set of Holy Flowers Formula in advance. In exchange, I can help advertise it on Weibo for free.”

“Do you think that they need people to advertise it with the current popularity of the Holy Flowers Formula?” asked Fang Qiu with a smile.

Song Yaqi said with frustration, “Just tell me if you’re gonna help me ask or not.”

Fang Qiu thought for a moment and said, “All right, all right. Give me your address directly, and I will get a set for you no matter how hard I need to try this time. Then, I will deliver it directly to you.”

Song Yaqi was rather exhilarated and said, “Really? Thank you, I will definitely help you advertise for them and not let you owe them a favor.”
