Zhu Cultivation Town. Gongyi Teahouseâs backyard!
Wang Ke walked up to the same old platform with everyoneâs eyes on him.
âClan Lord Wang!â everyone cheered.
Those around him were the clan lords from Zhu Cultivation Town and many other Innate Stage cultivators. All of them were currently sending hopeful looks at Wang Ke.
We were all in the lowest cultivator class back then⊠Why has Wang Ke become so successful now? It shouldnât have been like this! Why are we worse off? Oh how I envy him! But we canât mess up our relationship with Wang Ke. Whether we can become as successful as him might just depend on this gathering.
âThank you, everyone, for coming to Gongyi Teahouse. Your great support overwhelms me! I will not beat around the bush and start with our main agenda!â Wang Ke said with a smile.
âSure!â Everyone kept their eyes on Wang Ke with much expectation.
âAm I godlike when it comes to making money?â Wang Ke shouted, going straight to the point.
Zhang Zhengdaoâs eyes widened in disbelief after such a claim. Damn. Itâs my first time hearing someone opening a speech with a phrase to disgust everyone. No, the opening line is to boast about himself! Wang Ke, whereâs your face?
âClan Lord Wang⊠Heh, you reallyâŠ!â The cultivators were also taken aback.
The atmosphere became awkward.
âHahaha. All of you must be thinking that Iâm simply bragging, right? Come, let me tell you. During the grand opening ceremony not long ago, God Wang Company made a revenue of eleven million four hundred and sixty-five thousand pounds of spirit stone. On the first day of sales! One day was all it took!â Wang Ke proclaimed.
âWhat?â Everyone was shocked to hear that.
They looked at Wang Ke as though he had descended from heaven above.
They all knew about God Wang Tower and heard much about the companyâs opening ceremony. Still, they had not heard anything about their massive sales. More than ten million? What kind of numbers are those?
They were still struggling to make ten or twenty pounds of spirit stones. Sometimes, they would even squabble about one or two pounds of spirit stones. Look at Wang Ke! More than ten million pounds? Ten million! In one day?
Many lost their cool in an instant. Even for those who speculated that Wang Ke had struck it rich in a big way, the numbers were far beyond their expectation.
The envy they felt dissipated, smothered by despair; they couldnât even catch up with his shadow. The feeling that took over was admiration, extreme admiration.
âEveryone, do you want to be like me? To strike it rich?â Wang Ke shouted toward his audience.
The entire venue turned silent, but the tempted hearts were pumping wildly.
âYes!â someone shouted.
âYes! I want to! I want that!â âŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ
Countless people instantly started responding.
âOne more question. Am I, Wang Ke, godlike when it comes to making money?â Wang Ke asked loudly again.
âYes you are~~~~~~~~~~!â
The atmosphere swiftly reached a climax.
Zhang Zhengdao didnât expect that to happen. Why do people not care about Wang Keâs shamelessness anymore? Why are they all bewitched and crazy already?
Wang Ke looked at the cultivators with satisfaction.
Nothing crazy about it! This is a classical speech tactic from an e-marketing annual symposium back on Earth! Brainwash speech! Some e-marketings are good, while others are really bad. From CEOs to salespersons, e-marketing swindlers can make their blood boil with just one speech. They could make everyone disco dance on the spot and pump up the atmosphere. You donât believe me?
Once the atmosphere reaches a climax and their brains are on fire⊠Thatâs when they easily give you money!
âRemember how the workshops collaborated with God Wang Tower some time ago and earned some money?â Wang Ke asked.
âIndeed! Thank you, Clan Lord Wang, for taking care of us!â one of the shopkeepers replied with a smile.
âHaha, donât mention it! It was just an insignificant gesture! There wonât be only one God Wang Tower; there will be one in each major cultivation town in the future. The materials I need will only increase! My previous orders were nothing! More business awaits. I made more than ten million pounds of spirit stones in one day when God Wang Company opened. More days like that will come every year! Follow me, and you will have endless wealth!â Wang Ke cried out.
His listenersâ eyes were filled with passion.
Wang Ke continued, âDo you want to reach the pinnacle of your life? Letâs do business together, and you will have a balance between career and family! And tomorrow, you will have a luxurious flying sword of your own! Do you believe it can happen?â
Zhang Zhengdao stared at Wang Ke. You are bluffing too much, arenât you? Flying sword? Luxurious even? Is it that easy to get? I spent ages trying to get one but failed in the end. Damn, do you really think itâs that easy?
âWe believe!â many cried out in response.
Zhang Zhengdao looked at those money starved souls.
She Tianba, who was amidst the crowd, hated Wang Ke even more. Somehowâafter listening to Wang Keâs brainwashing talkâhe felt that the hundred and fifty thousand pounds of spirit stones were insignificant. Why?
Wang Ke continued crying out, âEveryone knows I didnât show my face during the construction of God Wang Tower at all because it wasnât worth it, but this time is different. Out of all the seventy-two cultivation towns, why do you think I only came to the Zhu Cultivation Town? Because I lived here, I have feelings for this place. You are all my fellow townsmen. That is why, when I still have many more opportunities to make money, I came here to take care of you!â
âThank you, Clan Lord Wang!â many excited voices responded in the crowd.
A few minutes was enough for everyone to feel convinced; following and learning from Wang Ke in doing business would somehow lead them to a successful life. Of course, many were still calm and clear-minded, not saying a single word because they didnât want to offend the others in the crowd.
âWhat business opportunity do you think I want to discuss with you?â Wang Ke looked at all his audience.
Everyone waited in silence.
âYou know what She Tianba has been doing in town for the past few days?â said Wang Ke as he addressed the crowd.
Amidst the crowdâShe Tianba raised an eyebrow. Why is Wang Ke bringing me up?
âShe Tianba? Heâs been hiring Innate Stage generals for a military clan in the mortal zone!â someone answered.
âI have gathered you here for the same reason; itâs just that Iâm helping another military clan! Is there anyone willing?â Wang Ke asked with a smile.
âThe business you mentioned only has to do with sending us to our deaths in the mortal zone?â
âMy ancestorsâ records say that more than half of all the hired Innate Stage cultivators died each time a war was fought to supersede the old empire!â
âWhy risk our lives in such horrifying wars?â
Many people raised their eyebrows in suspicion. Isnât it obvious that weâre cultivating to live longer? Why would we throw our lives away just for some money? Is it really worth it? That is also why She Tianba is having a hard time recruiting.
âHahaha, do you think Iâm like She Tianba? If I were so, I wouldnât have talked about helping everyone make money!â Wang Ke laughed.
Search h0sted n0vel for the original.
Everyone was taken by surprise.
âShe Tianbaâs offered Innate Stage cultivators at least five hundred pounds of spirit stones. Since youâre different, how much are you offering?â someone in the crowd said with a mocking tone.
Wang Ke didnât expect that. Didnât I stir up the mood already? Why is that person still so clear-minded? Even so, he shouldnât have spoken so hatefully.
âWho asked that question?â Wang Ke asked with a smile.
Everyone immediately stepped aside, revealing a man wearing a blood-colored robe that concealed his face.
She Tianbaâthe one hiding inside the blood-colored robeâwas stunned. What the hell? Iâm helping you guys bargain, and you guys sell me out?
âI donât care who it is. Itâs okay; I can give you an answer! She Tianba is offering five hundred pounds? Say, if I offered ten thousand pounds to recruit one Innate Stage cultivator, would any of you be willing?â Wang Ke asked, smiling.
âWhat?â She Tianba cried out in shock.
Not only him; all those present were wide eyed due to disbelief.
âTen thousand pounds of spirit stones? Clan Lord Wang, are you serious?â
âIâm willing! Clan Lord Wang, you must recruit me!â
Everyone immediately voiced their consent.
