When Liu Jie had not yet appeared!
Liu Sifang's face was full of intoxication, his expression filled with enjoyment!
But after hearing Liu Jie's words!
He was as if he had been hit by a spell of immobility!
His expression froze!
Only his pupils trembled incessantly!
Liu Jie's words were like a bolt from the blue to him!
Making it difficult for him to accept!
"You're playing with your uncle!"
"You must be playing with your uncle, right?"
He grabbed Liu Jie's shoulder as if he had gone mad, his pupils bloodshot!
The maids were so frightened that they scattered!
Liu Jie suppressed the unease in his heart and said in a low voice, "Uncle, I know it's hard for you to accept this, but this is the truth!"
"We've really been screwed by Chen Nan!"
Then he recounted what had happened before!
For example, how Master Jiu called Chen Nan his master!
And how he gave him that 300,000 immortal stones!
Pfft!
Upon learning that he had fallen into Chen Nan's trap!
Liu Sifang was so enraged that he became ill!
He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood!
He slumped back onto the lounge chair!
His face was sallow!
His eyes were vacant!
He looked as if he had aged decades in an instant!
"I, Liu Sifang, struggled for many years to achieve what I have today!"
"Although I have encountered many enemies!"
"But···"
"I was the one who ultimately triumphed!"
"I have dominated the business world for so many years, have I ever met a worthy opponent?"
"But today···"
"I lost!"
"Lost to a junior!"
"Lost miserably!"
His face was filled with dejection!
Unable to accept this fact!
Liu Yingying, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, said with anger and self-reproach, "Father, this is all my fault. If I hadn't suggested mortgaging the Liu family's assets to borrow money, things wouldn't have turned out this way!"
Liu Sifang sighed softly, "No, even if you hadn't suggested it, I would have done it!"
"No one is to blame for this!"
"We can only blame ourselves for underestimating the enemy!"
Liu Jie said, "Uncle, this time we have indeed been tricked by Chen Nan!"
"However, this loss is not enough to defeat our Liu family!"
"You previously mortgaged the textile!"
"And the catering industries, right?"
"We can completely hand over the assets in these two sectors!"
He calmly offered his opinion!
For ordinary people, textiles and catering might seem very profitable!
But in reality, the profits were very small!
"No!" Liu Sifang said with a somber face, "When I borrowed the money, I said I would return the 100,000 high-grade immortal stones, with interest, within seven days at the latest!"
"The textile and catering industries were merely collateral!"
"If I truly give these two sectors to others, where will Liu Sifang's reputation go?"
"Where will the reputation of the Sifang Chamber of Commerce go?"
Liu Jie hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but say, "But, we currently have no way to raise 100,000 high-grade immortal stones to repay the debt!"
"The communication jade tokens!" Liu Sifang said weakly, "The communication jade tokens are the most important asset of our Sifang Chamber of Commerce. As long as they are sold at a discount, it won't be difficult to raise 100,000 high-grade immortal stones!"
The communication jade tokens of the Sifang Chamber of Commerce were very popular!
But their price was very expensive!
So much so that ordinary people couldn't afford them!
"Pass down the order, communication jade tokens will be sold at a 30% discount!"
"Unconditional returns within three days!"
"No matter what, we must raise 100,000 high-grade immortal stones within the last five days!"
Liu Sifang's eyes regained their fighting spirit!
Although he was very displeased about being tricked by Chen Nan!
But at this moment!
Chen Nan was barely qualified to be his opponent!
You want to fight me?
Can you win against me?
------
After the Sifang Chamber of Commerce announced the 30% discount on communication jade tokens!
This news instantly spread to the ears of countless cultivators!
Making many people's hearts flutter!
After all, normally, one would have to spend ten high-grade immortal stones to buy one!
Thus!
Long queues formed at the entrance of the Sifang Chamber of Commerce and its branches!
Everyone was queuing up to purchase!
Of course!
A small portion of people were trying it out!
Since the other party offered free returns within three days!
They could simply return it if they didn't like it!
Conversely, if they liked it, they could keep it!
After all, once this opportunity was gone, it would be gone forever!
------
Star Picking Tower!
Yu Fei leaned into Chen Nan's embrace and said softly, "Brother Chen, you are truly amazing!"
Chen Nan smiled and said, "In what way are you referring to when you say I'm amazing?"
"Amazing in every way!" Yu Fei's face turned red. "I heard that ever since the Sifang Chamber of Commerce developed the communication jade tokens, the price has never changed!"
"But today, they are offering a 30% discount!"
"It's obvious that they're desperate!"
"If the Sifang Chamber of Commerce wasn't pushed to their absolute limit, they would never have made such an offer!"
"However, I don't understand why they would offer free returns within three days?"
Chen Nan said, "This is also a form of marketing. Liu Sifang's goal is to let people experience the convenience of the communication jade tokens first. Once they like it, they will buy it even if it costs a little more!"
"So that's how it is!" Yu Fei suddenly realized, "But this is destined to harm him!"
"It's obvious that he will soon know the consequences of offending us!" Chen Nan revealed a sinister smile!
He had said he would bring about the downfall of the Liu family!
So he would absolutely not let this matter rest!
The morning of the third day!
Chen Nan contacted Ao Jiu using a communication jade token, "You can start selling the communication jade tokens I refined!"
He hadn't been idle these past few days either!
He had refined those 200,000 jade tokens into communication jade tokens!
However!
He hadn't found a suitable opportunity to push them to the public!
But now!
Taking advantage of the Liu family publicly selling communication jade tokens, wasn't this a godsend?
The other party's price was seven high-grade immortal stones!
He priced his at two!
Furthermore, with just one communication jade token, one could contact others!
It was extremely convenient!
This was the fatal blow Chen Nan launched against the Liu family!
This would become the last straw that would crush the Liu family!
"Master, don't worry, I'll push this matter with all my might!" Ao Jiu had already been preparing for this. Upon hearing this, he immediately sent messages to his subordinates!
------
At the entrance of the Sifang Chamber of Commerce!
The 30% discount was still ongoing!
Every day, long queues formed at the entrance!
Just then, a loud voice echoed from afar, "You are still queuing up here to buy communication jade tokens? I'm telling you, you're being treated like leeks and are being harvested!"
The cultivators queuing up were all confused!
They had no idea what the middle-aged man was saying!
The man continued, "Listen to my advice, go and buy communication jade tokens from Grandpa Jiu, the seafood merchant!"
"Yes, Grandpa Jiu, the seafood merchant, has also launched communication jade tokens!"
"The difference is!"
"His communication jade tokens can contact many people!"
"As long as you know the other party's communication jade token number, you can call them!"
"And the most important point is, his communication jade tokens only cost two high-grade immortal stones!"
As soon as they heard this!
The people queuing up to buy jade tokens became restless!
If what the man said was true!
Why should they buy communication jade tokens from the Sifang Chamber of Commerce?
At that moment!
All the cultivators who were originally queuing up to buy communication jade tokens rushed towards Ao Jiu's seafood stall!
