Chapter 394: Huge Profits
The garage was messy. Tang Xiu used a drop of his blood to bind the interspatial ring. Then, he walked out of the garage. He originally had never imagined that the refining would create such a big noise. However, after he came out of the villaâs courtyard, he looked around and saw a huge crowd of residents gathered, along with Chi Nan and dozens of Everlasting Feast Hallâs core members. He couldnât help but let out a forced smile inside.
âChi Nan, come here!â
While standing outside the courtyard, Tang Xiu then waved toward Chi Nan, who was 100 meters away.
Chi Nanâs eyes lit up. She could feel that the oppressive aura had disappeared. Immediately, she gave a gesture toward the Everlasting Feast Hallâs core members and then ran toward Tang Xiu.
âIs it done, Boss?â Chi Nan asked with a curious look on her face.
âItâs done.â Tang Xiu nodded and laughed, âHowever, it has created a small issue, hasnât it?â
âYea! The residents in several nearby villas were forced to withdraw some distance because of the oppressive aura. Some even reported that we had no way to stop it. If my guess is correct, the police should be arriving here in a few minutes.â Chi Nan nodded.
âI see.â Tang Xiu said, âDeal with the issues here. Iâll go out first. After taking care of everything, remember to help me sell this villa.â
âLeave it to me.â Chi Nan respectfully said.
Tang Xiu then walked to the courtyard. Picking up his coat and putting it on, he then asked, âWas there anything important while I was busy these last few days?â
âYour mother called you. She said that sheâs here in Shanghai and is now at the Bluestar Villa Complex waiting for you.â Chi Nan said, âAdditionally, Chief Kang also called several times to ask about your situation. She wanted me to tell you that the Gods Nectar business is very hot, and all cargoes on display had been sold out. Also, she didnât dare to receive secret orders without your consent. Ah, right. There was also a call from Long Zhengyu. He was looking for you, saying that there are important things he wanted to discuss with you.â
Tang Xiu grabbed the car keys. After sitting in the driverâs seat, he took over his mobile phone from Chi Nan and then said, âOK. I got it. Iâll contact them later.â
After starting the car, he drove off.
Quickly, Tang Xiu took his huge harvest and then left the villa complex. He then lit up a cigarette and quickly pulled two puffs. It was to ease his high tension. Following that, he phoned Long Zhengyu and, at the same time, put on a bluetooth earphone.
âWere you looking for me?â
From the phone, Long Zhengyuâs voice came out, âTang Xiu, itâs good to hear your voice. Iâve been looking for you these past few days. I need to discuss some things with you!â
âDo say. Iâm all ears!â Tang Xiu said.
âDo you know Hong Kong?â Long Zhengyu said, âThere are a lot of Feng Shui Masters there who are skilled in auspicious Feng Shui for places, graveyards and etc... They even said something about Dragon veins⊠Shortly put, I stopped over in Hong Kong and accidentally met a Feng Shui Master acquaintance over there. He learned that youâre currently rebuilding the Nine Dragons Island and hopes to have a look at its Feng Shui. What do you think? Do you want me to invite him to go to Nine Dragons Island?â
A cold light flashed in Tang Xiuâs eyes as he shook his head and said, âNo need. You must follow the construction blueprint Iâve drawn before. There must not have the slightest change whatsoever. We are friends and I can tell you that, if you listen to any Feng Shui Mastersâ words, Iâll demolish everything youâve built completely.â
Long Zhengyu forced a smile, âSo serious? Anyhow, they are Feng Shui Masters, after all. I think you should listen to their opinions. MaybeâŠâ
âThereâs no maybe, and donât tell me anything else.â Tang Xiu interrupted his words and said, âYouâre just responsible for the construction project. If there are any random changes in the project design, I believe you know that the consequences will be serious. Zhengyu, if you think your Long Family can overthrow the Nine Dragons Islandâs project and bear the reconstruction cost, you can give it a try.â
âI got it. It was just out of my goodwill. I donât have any bad intentions.â Long Zhengyu forced a wry smile upon hearing Tang Xiuâs seriousness and said, âSince you donât want it, then forget it. Iâll think of ways to send that Feng Shui Master off.â
âZhengyu, you know about my ability in designing architectural projects.â Tang Xiu was a bit unsatisfied, and once again urged, âI wonât conceal it from you. Even if there is a little modification in the construction process, it will affect the entirety of the design. I bought Nine Dragons Islands for 2 billion yuan, and I even invested 12 billion more to rebuild it. Since Iâve already handed it over to you, I hope you wonât let me down.â
Long Zhengyu took a deep breath, âI understand. You can rest your worry! Anyhow, when will you return to Star City? Iâll stay in Nine Dragons Island for a few days, and should be back to Star City soon.â
âIâll call you when Iâm back to Star City.â Tang Xiu said.
After he ended the call, Tang Xiu let out a sneer.
Who in the world could be more skillful than him in regards to Feng Shui? His elaborate layout design for the construction project in Nine Dragons Island had consumed a great deal of his mental force. It was definitely the most perfect one. He absolutely wouldnât allow anyone to modify it arbitrarily, not even Long Zhengyu.
Afterward, Tang Xiu dialed Kang Xiaâs cell number. After she accepted the call, Tang Xiu said with a smile, âThe Gods Nectar has hit the market? I heard business is hot and that the Gods Nectar stocked in the shops have all been sold out?â
âI thought you didnât care about the Gods Nectarâs sales figure, Boss!â Kang Xia said with a chuckle, âYeah, the Gods Nectar we supplied to the major cities in the country had all been sold out without much effort after the opening ceremony. The second shipment of the goods is currently on the way to our exclusive stores in the major cities all over the country. It should be delivered by tomorrow.â
âThe profits must have been good, right?â Tang Xiu said with a smile.
âAfter the Finance Department calculated it, our first batch of Gods Nectar netted a profit of 2.76 billion.â Kang Xia joyfully said, âAs for the second batch of Gods Nectar, though itâs lesser in quantity, it should also be able to earn a net profit of billions of yuan.â
âGreat. Such a huge profit is more than I expected.â Tang Xiu said with a smile, âLetâs talk about the Skin Care Lotion and the Scar Removal Cream. Have these two cosmetics been put on sale?â
âThe Skin Care Lotion and the Scar Removal Cream were just listed for sale. But due to the booming Gods Nectar, their sales are also hot. However, you also know that itâs very difficult to show its effect within a short time. Letâs wait for a few days. I dare say that after a few days, the customers who bought our products will surely help us to hype them up.â
âA fragrant wine needs not fear the dark alley, to begin with.â Tang Xiu said with a smile, âBesides, we have the magical feature of Moments nowadays, so it will be very easy to share the good things. Anyhow, I canât talk much. Iâll find the time to make a trip back to Star City. By then, Iâll hold a celebration party for you.â
âWe are a group of high-class people here. Weâre all wishing for the stars and the moon, so weâll be waiting for you.â Kang Xia said with a smile.
Tang Xiu replied with a smile and then straightly hang up the phone. Although the Gods Nectarâs revenue was more than he had expected, he was also well aware of one thing: the wineryâs production was too small. The Gods Nectar that was on sale now was already the vast bulk of the storage volume for months.
This time, being able to earn 2 to 3 billion, he was sure that such a massive sales would only happen once in a year and a half. Normally, the business operation would run in a small but steady stream.
As for the Skin Care Lotion and Scar Removal Cream, he didnât need to worry about them. These two products could smite the products of other international cosmetic industries. At that time, once the testimonies were spread out, sooner or later there would be one day that these two cosmetics would become the worldâs topmost luxury products.
Despite so, the current selling prices of these two cosmetics were not much different from the worldâs topmost cosmetic brands.
After Tang Xiu drove back here and just walked into the courtyard, he saw Du Juan doing the laundry, while sitting next to her was his mother, Su Lingyun.
"Mom, how did you come here?" Tang Xiu let out a smile and asked as he approached.
Seeing Tang Xiu, Su Lingyun looked happy at first. But after she saw his weary look and dirty appearance, she suddenly looked a bit distressed. She then welcomed him and said, âWhatâs that little thing you got? The house in South Gate Town got messy because of it. That thing didnât hurt me, but your dadâs toes were bitten by it. So I came over to send this thing back to you.â
Tang Xiu was startled and stared blankly. He suddenly recalled the fierce beast he had adopted. A faint smile immediately appeared on his face. He then quickly summoned it within his mind.
As though lightning, a figure instantly appeared in front of Tang Xiu, and then rushed to his arm, catching him unprepared.
âHey, little thing. Didnât I tell you that youâre absolutely not to hurt people if there are no special circumstances? Who made you hurt someone?â Tang Xiu clutched its neck, patted its head and chided at it.
The little thing, akin to a leopard, quickly showed a flattering look. It chimed a few times and then looked at Su Lingyun, like it was saying that it was protecting her.
Tang Xiu couldnât help laughing as he patted its head and said, âRemember, you are not to hurt anyone again later without my permission. Otherwise, Iâll butcher you and stew a pot of delicious food.â
The little thing shrunk its head and showed an honest expression.
Tang Xiu then looked at Su Lingyun and said with a smile, âMom, have you got acquainted with them?â
âYeah, I already know both of them!â Su Lingyun said with a smile, âThese two children are pretty good. Itâs a good idea to take care of each other and live together. Anyways, why do you look so unkempt? Whatâs the matter? And why did you not attend military training?â
Letting out a wry smile inside, Tang Xiu couldnât reply truthfully this time, he could only make up a story. He said, âMom, you also know that my companyâs products have hit the market, thus I had to go out of town to supervise it! Additionally, to participate or not in the military training has no significance. However, Iâll follow your wish, though. Iâll properly master the knowledge and cultures and smoothly get myself a university diploma. As for my appearance, itâs because I got quite worn out in my trip out of town, so Iâm kinda tired and hungry.â
