King of Creation-Chapter 1488 - 1473: Never Bothering with Evidence

Chapter 1488: Chapter 1473: Never Bothering with Evidence

For half a month, Dulong Island was bustling, with the sound of firecrackers and special celebratory talisman lights continuously bursting in the sky.

With the market opening, the formidable background and strength demonstrated by the Tianyi Corporation allayed any concerns among the various corporations, leading them to lease storefronts in the Market of Dulong Island to establish branches.

Basically, every corporation that came to celebrate rented a storefront in the Market of Dulong Island to open a branch.

Businesspeople have the keenest senses and are the most astute calculators. During the early stage of market opening in Dulong Island, storefront rents were not expensive. With a small investment, occupying one or two prime locations, as long as the market of Dulong Island did not collapse within a short time, they wouldn’t lose money.

As long as the market of Dulong Island showed some progress, they would be able to make a profit.

Therefore, with the measure of the opening day of the market of Dulong Island, corporations came from all sides to celebrate, and any with a bit of calculation from the Three Great Water Palaces inside and outside the island forces also rented storefronts to open a branch.

In total, the corporations brought by Hua Changjun, including Hua Changjun himself, opened twelve branches; fifteen small corporations from the surrounding Water Palaces, along with the nearby island forces and their corporations, made it nearly fifty corporations opened on Dulong Island within a short half month.

This doesn’t include the fact that a few far-sighted businessmen had already transported a batch of cooks and brothel girls within just a few days, establishing two taverns and three brothels on the island, suddenly enriching the nightlife on the island.

Meanwhile, various other shops, like tea houses, clothing stores, and even agencies had started renting storefronts to establish themselves.

A sight of prosperity.

Of course, these businessmen are clever, and Tianyi Corporation isn’t foolish either. According to Gai Jun’s suggestion, no matter who it is, including the current major customer Hua Changjun, leases for storefronts can only be signed for one year. However, upon expiration, they can enjoy priority renewal rights, but within the next five years, rent will be discussed annually; after five years, it can be discussed every three years.

Additionally, a year later, corporations on the island must pay management fees, security maintenance fees, and other miscellaneous fees. Ye Zhen entrusted all these details to Gai Jun.

Ye Zhen himself enjoyed the leisure, taking time to cultivate and refine artifacts amidst the busyness.

Within just half a month, the batch of sixty thousand Red Yin Grass released by Tianyi Corporation was completely sold out.

It should be said that these sixty thousand Red Yin Grass were released within one day, prepared by Tianyi Corporation for the merchants brought by Hua Changjun.

On the first day they were brought out, they were snatched up by eleven merchants including Hua Changjun, and at a high price of one high-grade Spirit Stone per plant. This doesn’t even count the additional ten thousand Red Yin Grass privately sold to Hua Changjun to express gratitude.

Aside from Red Yin Grass, other rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Primordial Continent, like Flowstone Vine, were all for sale, along with hundreds of other more precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Primordial Continent.

However, according to Gai Jun’s sales strategy, other than the Red Yin Grass, there were very few quantities of three strange Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures including Flowstone Vine from the Primordial Continent. Apart from ten thousand pounds of Flowstone Vine, the numbers of the other two could almost be ignored.

According to Gai Jun, if the scarce resources in the market originally rush in large scale, it will inevitably lead to a price collapse.

To maintain profit, even if some Red Yin Grass rots, it cannot be allowed to flood the market excessively, causing a price collapse.

According to Gai Jun, it’s just the market opening, needing to satisfy the various merchants who came from afar. In the future, Tianyi Corporation will release batches of Red Yin Grass every month in the Market of Dulong Island, with quantities depending on market reactions.

At most thirty to forty thousand, at least ten to twenty thousand, maintaining a seller’s market at all times to ensure the highest profit.

With this calculation, the annual sales of Red Yin Grass might range between five hundred thousand to seven hundred thousand plants, but the annual production of a million plants cannot be fully absorbed.

However, the profit is still considerable.

Moreover, according to Gai Jun, monthly batch sales are enough to bring major merchants to Dulong Island multiple times, causing unquantifiable prosperity effects.

Anyway, the inventory of Red Yin Grass and other Heaven and Earth Spiritual Medicine have been entirely handed over to the Great Saint of Jinghai and others to manage, from whom Gai Jun monthly collects sales.

Ye Zhen doesn’t care specifically how much is sold or the method of sale. Ye Zhen will only be concerned about the annual net profit and the construction of the Market of Dulong Island in the future, planning to thoroughly become a hands-off manager.

The night descended, and Dulong Island once again fell into a hazy mist. Ye Zhen’s gaze looked far towards the center of Dulong Island.

"Since you’ve targeted my big affair, don’t blame me for being ruthless... It’s time to settle..."

Muttering softly, Ye Zhen’s figure suddenly vanished.

At the peak of Dulong Island’s center, a delicately crafted Silent Chamber stood there, surrounded by a few flowers and plants, appearing exceptionally elegant.

However, from within the serene Silent Chamber, a low voice emerged at this moment.

"Elder, in just half a month, the number of Seven Surnamed Clan members joining the defense forces has exceeded two hundred thousand; even half of the Miao family’s population has been urged by Miao Jianghai to join the defense forces.

We can no longer command these clan members who joined the defense forces. Emboldened by the Sky Wing Trading Company’s power, they don’t even regard the elders of the clan.

If this continues, our Seven Surnamed Clan on Dulong Island will be completely swallowed by the Sky Wing Trading Company." This was the worried voice of the Great Clan Leader Chu Shengting.

"Humph, as if I didn’t know, but why don’t you reflect on yourselves? If you can’t keep the hearts of your own clan members, can’t unite them, the Seven Surnames of Dulong Island will be destroyed in the hands of the Sky Wing Trading Company, even disappearing under the hands of the Ground Wing or Air Wing Trading Companies.

"Don’t you see what you all have been doing over the years?"

"When it comes to taking Spirit Stones and benefiting, each is more eager than the last. But when it’s time to stand up for the clan members, everyone runs away faster than the other!" The only Realm King Realm strongman of the Seven Surnamed clan on Dulong Island, Chu Zhao, began to yell angrily.

Chu Shengting looked ashamed, "Ancestor, the Seven Surnamed clan only has so little capital, what can we use to fight others?"

"No ability, and you’ve lost your courage as well? Look at your descendants, what else can they do besides oppressing the clan members?" Chu Zhao continued to scold angrily.

With Chu Zhao’s outburst, Chu Shengting no longer dared to speak. After waiting for Chu Zhao’s anger to subside, he finally said in a low voice, "Ancestor, things have come to this point. Even if change is considered, it will take time. But the Seven Surnamed clan cannot wait any longer. Without any means to respond, the clan is on the verge of splitting apart."

"Sigh......"

Chu Zhao sighed deeply and waved his hand, "You go first, let me think."

After Chu Shengting left, a faint bitter smile appeared at the corners of the mouth of the Seven Surnamed clan’s ancestor, Chu Zhao. Who said he didn’t have any means, it’s just......

"Who?"

While he was smiling bitterly, Chu Zhao’s expression suddenly changed as he stood up abruptly and looked toward the doorway.

"Mr. Chu!" Ye Zhen stood at the door, clasping his hands from afar.

"Manager Di?" Upon recognizing Ye Zhen, Chu Zhao’s expression turned extremely puzzled. He really couldn’t figure out what Ye Zhen wanted by coming to his Silent Cultivation place at this time.

However, he was an old fox with years of experience, and he still had some ability to adapt, "Manager Di’s esteemed presence brightens this humble abode indeed, please have a seat, let me brew a pot of Spiritual Tea for the honored guest."

"No need for tea brewing. I’m here today for two matters I want to discuss with Mr. Chu. Please sit." Ye Zhen took the initiative and sat down on a jade mat inside the Silent Chamber.

Chu Zhao’s eyes were filled with confusion. Even with his insight, he really couldn’t decide what Ye Zhen was here for.

"The first matter is actually not a big deal. Some time ago, after the Market Opening Ceremony, I sent someone to suppress the ten heroes of Pinglu Island affiliated with Zou Ba.

Eventually, five of the Pinglu ten heroes were killed, and the remaining five scattered like birds and beasts. Now, the influential gang of Pinglu ten heroes who ruled the nearby sea has vanished into thin air," Ye Zhen said.

After the Market Opening Ceremony, Ye Zhen had instructed Fengg Jiumo to go to Pinglu Island to assassinate the remaining seven, to eliminate future troubles. However, those guys reacted too quickly, and Fengg Jiumo only managed to kill two of them; the others vanished without a trace upon getting the news. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Fortunately, according to the intelligence, all ten of the Pinglu ten heroes were notoriously vicious figures in the North Sea Waters, only gathering for the convenience of swallowing big merchants, scattering like birds at the slightest disturbance.

Otherwise, even with Fengg Jiumo present, dealing with them would have been extremely difficult.

"Vanished into thin air....." Chu Zhao’s expression showed a trace of awkwardness but quickly returned to normal, "Manager Di indeed uses.....thunderous methods."

"Hehe, my thunderous methods pale in comparison to Mr. Chu’s borrowing-a-knife-to-kill technique," Ye Zhen laughed.

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhao’s face changed dramatically, "What’s Manager Di talking about, how come I don’t understand?"

"Don’t understand?"

A cold smile suddenly surfaced at the corner of Ye Zhen’s mouth, "Mr. Chu probably understands very well, doesn’t he? The leader of the Pinglu ten heroes, Zou Ba, wouldn’t provoke my Sky Wing Trading Company without a reason in public, right?"

"Zou Ba?"

Chu Zhao frowned, "Manager Di, where is this coming from? I have been cultivating in seclusion on Dulong Island practically every night and don’t know anyone named Zou Ba, let alone contact him.

Manager Di wouldn’t happen to be making an unfounded accusation, right?"

"Mr. Chu lives up to his reputation, Zou Ba is dead, and Mr. Chu washed his hands clean with that shove. Unfortunately, in my actions, evidence has never been a concern."

Ye Zhen smiled and shook his head. He had anticipated this.

"You....."

Realizing something was off, Chu Zhao’s expression changed drastically as Spiritual Power suddenly surged around him.

But at that very instant, a terrifying spatial fluctuation rose from Chu Zhao’s location, startling him into retreat.

A blood-red blade light carrying boundless Evil Qi appeared straight behind Chu Zhao as Ye Zhen’s voice sounded, "If I were Mr. Chu, I would obediently stand still at this time."

The next instant, Chu Zhao’s face turned ashen, all the blood drained from his face!
