Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 67: How Can You Burn Bridges After Crossing?
Chapter 67: Chapter 67: How Can You Burn Bridges After Crossing?
"Of course, of course, how could it possibly have anything to do with you." Zhang Zhiqiang thought to himself that he truly was a nemesis, his power was indeed strong.
But he comforted aloud, "Just focus on your job and do your part well. It’s that rascal Jia Zongliang who caused the mess with his shenanigans, it’s got nothing to do with anybody else! Brother, did it shock you? I heard it was freaking brutal at the scene. I’ll treat you to a meal sometime to calm your nerves!"
Jiang Yuan didn’t even want to explain; he just wanted some peace.
Soon, the investigation result from the advertising company was released: the boss, Jia Zongliang, had cooperated with the deceased’s husband, thus beginning an affair.
Originally, the two only dared to meet secretly outside. After Jia Zongliang’s wife had returned to the family post-childbirth and neglected company matters, these two sneaky folks sought some thrill by brazenly entering the company as "new employees" and disrobed in the conference room separated by a door.
Upon discovering it through a hidden camera installed privately, Jia Zongliang’s wife rushed to the company to catch the adulterers resulting in a conflict. Jia Zongliang accidentally killed the mistress in the panic and fled due to his guilt. During the capture, fearing revenge from the deceased’s husband, he attempted suicide but failed, ultimately getting apprehended.
Afterward, scandalous practices of the New Creation Advertising Company quickly surfaced online, attracting attention from various parties, likely stirred by Zhang Zhiqiang.
Jiang Yuan didn’t pay attention to the online tumult aftermath; he meticulously reviewed the notices three times, confirming it had nothing to do with him.
Indeed, a female assistant was replaced by a male employee, but there was no planting of an insider. The boss lady discovered the affair by watching the live feed via cameras.
Revisiting those past events, can a mere employee influence the boss’s investments? No. So, if the investment failed and the company closed, what does it have to do with me? Can a minor employee affect whether the entire company’s financial chain collapses? No. If the boss’s cash flow breaks leading to the company’s closure, why should it concern me?
Delicacies and riches don’t concern me. Company closure, boss fleeing, you can’t make me take the blame.
So, thinking it over, he believed these were just accidents, and he merely had bad luck to encounter them.
In the next two days, lab reports came in, showing that whether it’s the big cherries, large strawberries, or long mulberries, they are top-grade organic foods rich in various nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, dietary fibers, antioxidants, etc. To sum it up—a word about the Wilderness game fruits: high quality, great sweetness, and excellent taste.
With these lab reports, selling at a high price was a sure thing.
The well water test results also came out; it’s pollution-free, rich in minerals, balanced, and Level One drinking water suitable for safe consumption. It wasn’t that Jiang Yuan didn’t trust the system’s judgement, but its explanation was too brief to feel assured without clear testing.
After that, the company registration was done too;
Yang Hongye personally supervised the arrival of custom packaging design, and Jiang Yuan applied for a mini-program to officially launch the business.
"Grand opening, wealth rolling in, prosperous business, step by step success! Thanks, everyone, for your support. Later, when the fruits go online, if you like it, do give some feedback." Chuci, although abroad burning incense on the mountain, didn’t delay in creating group chats and adding people. Due to the Soothing Incense incident, he became more invested in Jiang Yuan’s business, exhaustively helping to advertise and sell goods.
The gourmet connoisseur group just started was already lively.
"Hey, I took a glance, aren’t all our gourmet club members here?"
"We’ve been waiting sneakily for the fruits to go online. Last time I tasted them at Chuci’s place, the flavor was really good."
"How good? I’ve only heard from Chuci that they taste great. Did you all taste them in advance?"
"I’ve heard about it too, but haven’t tried."
"+1"
"+2"
"Waiting for the fruits to go online. I want to see just how tasty they are."
...
Yang Hongye watched the playful chat records scrolling by in the group, feeling a bit anxious.
Though she often organized team-building and entertained clients at the company, it was her first time handling fruit business operations with her own shares. Facing upper-circle clients much wealthier than those she served deferentially every day, she needed to speak and act properly for long-term business, even with Chuci’s support.
Thus, she carefully scrutinized punctuation marks in every sent message, diligently wording them to clearly convey the premium fruits’ advantages and, following Chuci’s earlier advice, released electronic versions of fruit test reports. When everything was ready, the mini-program launched one hundred boxes of five kilos priced at two thousand per box of big cherries.
Not even ten minutes later, all one hundred boxes sold out.
"Wow, you all have fast hands! I just answered a call and when I looked again, it was gone!" Chuci had prepared a small account intending to clear any unsold stock to support Jiang Yuan but ended up buying none as he took a call.
"What do you expect when the group’s full of foodies? Five kilos a box is just enough to taste something new. You should urge the boss to stock more." freewёbnoνel.com
"Indeed, just enough to taste freshness. I’ll give feedback after tasting in the group, those who didn’t buy wait for my review."
"Local buyers will receive same-day delivery. I might be among the first to taste. I’ll give a professional score once I do..."
...
"Cost for a hundred five-kilo boxes is seventy-five grand, excluding testing, design, and packaging costs..." Yang Hongye was so nervous that her palms were sweating, she recalculated repeatedly ensuring no mistakes.
She never imagined the first online sale would be this smooth. Within ten minutes, the backend was flooded with orders, her heart was about to leap out of her chest.
This was the first shot since the company’s establishment. If successful, she could ride the tide and earn loads of money, like in dreams buying a house with floor-to-ceiling windows!
Yang Hongye longed to own her home, entirely hers, where she could do whatever she wished behind closed doors without anyone having a say!
Her years-long dream now set sail from a small WeChat program. She stared at the backend, reluctant to blink.
"Is this considered semi-hunger marketing?" In contrast, Jiang Yuan was much calmer, reviewing the sales strategy Chuci sent him. Today was just testing the waters; after customer feedback, the packaging details would be adjusted. As long as the positive rate exceeded sixty percent, once the first batch of fruits was nearly consumed in two days, the next round could commence.
He wasn’t skilled in business but considered himself decent at dealing with people. He handled the big cherries from the Storage Bag using foam boxes, while Yang Hongye managed the remaining tasks—packing, promoting, managing, delivering. He provided the goods while she exerted effort, maintaining the agreed fifty-fifty profit split.
Initially, he had nothing, piled up cherries, even considered selling at street stalls. Fortunately, Yang Hongye bridged the gap leading to today’s success. There’s no reason for betrayal after earning money.
"Yes, selling high-end goods requires strategy. Source can’t be overly abundant nor too scarce, keeping curiosity piqued among these rich kids. Excluding cost, we netted ten grand profit on the first launch, yet the money can’t be moved now."
Yang Hongye finished accounting and started printing delivery addresses, taking deep breaths to calm down, then said, "We must wait until clients receive and confirm delivery before funds will reach our account. After the first batch personally tasted by clients with feedback, then we’ll adjust stock accordingly."
