Chapter 711 - 358: Finalization and Launch

Chapter 711: Chapter 358: Finalization and Launch

The discussion with Chen Kaishan lasted for nearly two hours.

During this time, Cheng Zongyang noticed the bewildered look on Li Lu’s face and allowed him to leave first. Meanwhile, Zhou Zhendong and Cheng Zongwen remained focused on taking notes the entire time, without offering any opinions.

At times, they could grasp some of the methods Cheng Zongyang described, but at others, they were completely lost. As the various policies intertwined, they reached a point where they couldn’t understand anything at all.

However, they knew it was best to simply record everything.

Unlike the other two, Chen Kaishan grew increasingly excited during his exchange with Cheng Zongyang.

Each idea and policy was like a brilliant star illuminating his mind. Many of the policies sparked a torrent of inspiration, and some could even be directly applied to the Da Yi Commerce Association.

When the discussion finally concluded, Chen Kaishan was still immersed in a state of euphoria, unable to pull himself out of it.

"Boss, I am truly in awe of you!"

Chen Kaishan struggled to calm himself, sighing with heartfelt admiration. "The ideas you’ve put forth are like opening a door to a whole new world of managing Money Shops.

You asked for my opinion, but I feel my proposals are far less comprehensive than your ideas. Within the limits of my understanding, I genuinely cannot offer a better plan than yours.

Boss, the methods you’ve outlined are more comprehensive than I could have ever imagined. If you formulate detailed policies based on your own ideas, you can drastically reduce the hoarding of Spirit Stones while vigorously promoting the use of Spirit Tickets and the exchange of gold and silver for them."

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly. ’This is all just knowledge from the information explosion of my past life,’ he thought. ’I’ve only managed a crude, half-baked explanation. To create a truly perfect system would be a massive undertaking, far beyond what I can do alone.’

But he was well aware of the plan’s importance, and he also understood its difficulty. Seeing Chen Kaishan’s enthusiastic reaction gave him a boost of confidence.

’At least the methods I’ve come up with are feasible, from his experienced point of view.’

’That’s good enough.’

Still, Cheng Zongyang asked Chen Kaishan to offer some ideas based on the Da Yi Commerce Association’s Money Shop operations and management model, just to cover all the bases.

’After all, the two worlds are different. I can’t just transplant modern theories wholesale. My methods need to be ’localized’ for this world.’

Therefore, Cheng Zongyang took the notes recorded by Cheng Zongwen and continued his discussion with Chen Kaishan.

When dinnertime arrived, they had food sent to them.

This was also because after learning certain things at the Cyan Profound Sect, he had become as anxious as the Ring Spirit; he wanted to accelerate the speed at which the Ring Spirit could take control of the Realm of Ten Thousand Races.

Only when Chen Kaishan truly could not offer any more substantive opinions did Cheng Zongyang, pleased with the outcome, send him on his way.

In the days that followed, Cheng Zongyang poured a great deal of time and energy into meticulously drafting every detail of the Spirit Ticket policy.

He consulted Luo Dingran, asked the Ring Spirit about the feasibility of producing Spirit Tickets, and sought out experienced people within the Immortal City.

He repeatedly deliberated on the exchange rates, regulatory measures, and incentive mechanisms, striving for perfection in every aspect.

Chen Kaishan also sprang into action, promoting the idea and mobilizing support within the Da Yi Commerce Association, reporting to his headquarters, and preparing for the rollout of the Spirit Ticket policy.

The Da Yi Commerce Association was now working in close cooperation with the Cheng Merchant House. The Da Yi Commerce Association would inevitably support the rollout of Spirit Tickets, a fact that was crucial for Cheng Zongyang.

After all, with its presence in various nations, the Da Yi Commerce Association was his most important partner. The introduction of Spirit Tickets would be a good thing for the Da Yi Commerce Association as well.

During this time, Cheng Zongyang also had people leak some rumors to gauge the reactions of the various powers.

As he progressively refined the policy and the promotional efforts deepened, the rumors intensified. The various family factions, gang influences, and the Thirteen Royal Families in the Immortal City all began to take notice of the Spirit Ticket policy.

They were filled with curiosity and anticipation for this new monetary system, but they also harbored their own worries and doubts.

However, the Cheng Clan Commerce Association gave no official response, ignoring the buzz. Even when the leaders of some Gate Influences that had established themselves in the Immortal City requested an audience, they were politely refused.

Cheng Zongyang knew that to get the Spirit Ticket policy truly and widely accepted, he still had a great deal of work to do, preparing to answer everyone’s questions and alleviate their concerns.

By the time a complete draft of the Spirit Ticket implementation policy was finalized, a month had passed.

Cheng Zongyang had Zhou Zhendong notify all the family powers in the Immortal City to meet in the top-floor conference room of the Cheng Clan Commerce Association.

This meeting would be when the final decision was made.

That evening, a total of seventy-six factions were in attendance, comprising Gate Valves, Noble Families, and Noble Races from various nations. Essentially, Zhou Zhendong had invited anyone with any real influence.

The meeting room’s layout had been slightly altered to resemble a classroom, allowing more people to be seated.

Once everyone had arrived, Cheng Zongyang stood on the stage, looked down at the representatives of all the assembled powers, and got straight to the point. He spoke slowly, not mincing his words:

"I’ve brought you all here today, and I imagine you’ve guessed why. Lately, there have been many rumors circulating about Spirit Tickets. I’m here to tell you, they are true."

The moment he said this, the representatives of the seventy-six factions glanced at each other, and those who were acquainted began to whisper among themselves.

Among them, the family factions that had already pledged their allegiance to the Cheng Family were not particularly surprised. The rumors had been circulating for a while, and based on the grapevine, the introduction of Spirit Tickets was clearly a move by the Immortal City to improve its administration and development.
