I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 1032 - 1031: Partnership Secured! Supreme VIP of the Resort Hotel!
Each can-like object had nothing on it, prompting someone to ask, "Mary, what is this? A drink?"
"Hope it’s not expired."
"We actually have some drinks from before the apocalypse in our collection—"
"This thing looks freshly made."
Su Malie chuckled with a sense of pride, opened a can, and with a pop, a rich fermented aroma wafted out. She took a sip, smacked her lips.
The other young masters also opened their cans and took a sip, their eyes lighting up immediately.
"The taste is a bit like fruit beer but with a strong milky flavor. It’s like drinking fermented milk but different from yogurt."
"It’s good, with a long-lasting aftertaste and a rich sweetness. The alcohol content is about 4 percent, a bit lower than beer."
"Good stuff."
"Would you trade for it? I have quite a bit of frozen goods."
The young masters, of course, knew quality. Their picky tastes might not make this top-notch, but in this apocalypse, it’s definitely unique. The wealthy ladies indeed prefer the milk beer over regular beer.
Novelty is always something they chase after.
Su Malie was pleased. Knowing the value is good. She said, "This stuff is not for sale. It’s exclusively brewed by my sister using milk beer, just for her own enjoyment. You all know Jing Shu, the major shareholder of the national brewery, right?"
With that, she introduced Jing Shu to everyone.
Wow, she actually set up her own production line for this? How extravagant!
Jing Shu smiled gently and greeted everyone. She understood Su Malie’s intention; by presenting the milk beer and mentioning the brewery, she was building up her reputation.
People rely on appearances and status. Without a bright and powerful background, interacting with these people would make one seem inferior, and negotiating could even lead to being bullied by power.
As expected, after Su Malie’s introduction, the young masters and wealthy ladies greeted her warmly.
The young masters were puzzled about why Su Malie invited this brewery shareholder over; some even said:
"Mary, are you here to drum up business for our vacation hotel? When our private island gets more guests, we could indeed order luxury beers to sell."
Su Malie snorted disdainfully, "Keep dreaming! Ah Zhu’s brewery is in high demand nationwide, with the reservation line stretching beyond the Great Wall. Even the luxury limited edition ones are almost all booked. I brought Ah Zhu here to discuss air purification branches. She’s the owner of Dark Plant and has submitted branches to the Imperial Research Institute."
Only then did everyone seriously assess Jing Shu, surprised at how many hats she wore!
Su Malie pulled Jing Shu onto a beach chair, crossed her legs, and casually said while sipping milk beer, "You all, I know what you’re plotting. That Zhang family guy, your family is part of the Imperial Research Institute. I know you want to have your dad use authority to requisition these branches under the guise of national contribution and then secretly bring some over here."
Cough, cough.
The Zhang family young master looked down, "Not really." If an official document were issued, it might actually work, but he secretly inquired about it, only to have his own dad give him a good telling-off with a note.
He was told not to think of this idea because this person is Old Zhou’s protégé.
Su Malie continued, "Don’t even think about buying out or any other tricks. Our South Sea’s ruler is someone from the Imperial Capital, and he has the factory under his protection. You should honestly use goods to trade or buy with Virtual Coin, and don’t cause any trouble, so we can all remain friends."
A few people visibly deflated. If it’s that madman from the Imperial Capital, then it’s a no-go.
Fine, they’ll just have to buy it honestly.
Negotiating from equal positions, and Jing Shu’s position was even higher, so the talks naturally went smoothly.
"Use those scraps in the corners and lines, and use the branches for the front. Don’t bother with those trimming gadgets."
"Exactly, this thing needs to be replaced every month, or it won’t be effective."
It’s not that they don’t want to replace it, they simply can’t afford it.
The private island is quite large, and the young masters wanted to do it big; within the bounds of the vacation hotel, including the beach and pool, there couldn’t be any unpleasant smells.
Encircling the area would require a significant amount of Virtual Coin and resources.
The final agreement left both parties satisfied.
Jing Shu was granted supreme VIP access at the resort, meaning she could come here for free in the future to swim, use all the hot springs, bathhouses, hotels, and other entertainment facilities, and even bring her family and friends, all for free.
The branches provided were priced at a 30% discount.
Of course, the resort was fully free, but the food was not included for free. Besides, Jing Shu didn’t value their food anyway.
She planned to bring her family here to have fun when the New Year came in a few days.
After wrapping up the hotel business, it was time for personal matters.
Mu Xiaoxuan brought out her carved themed accessories, which received unanimous praise, with over sixty pieces ordered at 16,000 Virtual Coins each, along with various other items.
The atmosphere was lively and harmonious, and Su Malie tugged at Jing Shu, "Ah Zhu, come on, let’s go swimming."
Jing Shu glanced at the time, realizing if she rushed back now, she could still make the meeting...
Just as she hesitated, a scream shattered the cheerful vibe.
"Ah!! Where did this disgusting thing come from? Help!!"
A young master had a leech-like brown creature stuck to his foot that wouldn’t come off no matter how hard he tried. A few people reached out to pull, causing the young master to howl in pain.
