Chapter 921: My Sense of Logic Has Shattered All Over the Floor Again
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Dali Spacecraft. 300 million sold per year. Line them up and they can surround the Milky Way three times!”
“Women’s Gang. A daily change in a woman’s closet is good for your health.”
“I know. It’s better to wear two pieces at the same time!”
“I heard that, on a rainy day, Dali Chocolate pairs even better with music! Dali Chocolate, silky smooth…”
Advertisements like these came naturally to Hong Dali. Since Li Nianwei was family now, it made sense for her to advertise for his businesses.
Nourishing water should not flow into the farmland of others. This advertisement was easy to make.
Inside the St. Homburg Grand Hotel.
“CEO Hong.” Recently, Hong Weiguo’s personal secretary Xiao Liu also arrived at the Galaxy Alliance Center and continued to oversee Hong Weiguo’s various businesses. “Our clothing store’s profit margins have been compiled to reflect the growth after Miss Nianwei’s advertisements for us.”
“Ok, tell me, how much growth are we experiencing?” Hong Weiguo asked without lifting his head. He was busy looking at the documents in his hands.
Since Hong Dali came here, he took over quite a lot of businesses.
As a prodigal, he always left them aside unattended once he took over the businesses. As a father, Hong Weiguo could not be as heartless as his son. Naturally, he came to help Hong Dali sort out his businesses.
“Currently, for the Dali Shipyard side.” As Secretary Xiao Liu looked at the documents in his hands, his voice trembled. “Because of Miss Muxin’s and Miss Nianwei’s endorsements for Dragon Tiger King and their rankings in the Galaxy Super Mecha Wars, the effects are surprisingly good. Multiple companies have placed their orders with us. In two days, we have received orders for over 3,600 spacecrafts. In addition, there have been over 1,400 orders for replicas of Granzon, Valsion, The Dark Angel, Dragon Tiger King, and The Snow Angel. The orders amounted to a sum of 134,000,000 dollars. The contracts have been signed. If you deduct the manufacturing costs, the net profit comes to around 85,000,000 dollars.”
“So much?!” Hong Weiguo was instantly stunned.
It cost around thirty million dollars for them to purchase Dali Shipyard, an unknown small company at the time. Who would have expected that within two days, thanks to Li Nianwei and Tang Muxin’s advertising, they made over eighty-five million dollars in net profit alone? That was terrifying!
“Yes, CEO Hong.” The secretary Xiao Liu always felt that his brain was incapable of reporting matters related to Hong Dali. “I feel that Young Master Dali’s ability to earn money is terrifying. Of course, that’s not the scariest thing. The most impressive feat is our clothing company.”
Profit of eighty-five million dollars was not the scariest thing?
Hong Weiguo was completely stunned. Hong Dali renamed the clothing company Women’s Gang. Could that be more profitable than the spacecraft company?
“About that, it’s because the Young Master has amazing luck…” The expression on secretary Xiao Liu’s face was interesting. “Originally I thought that it will be better for Miss Nianwei to continue her progress in the Sing! Milky Way competition, as her popularity will continue to rise. However, it seems like things are going better this way instead…”
“Hm? The advertisement effects are better now that she quit Sing! Milky Way?” Hong Weiguo was stunned too.
As a father, Hong Weiguo naturally knew that his son had improved relationships with Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei. After all, this was the Galaxy Alliance Center. The rules were different here as compared to Earth. One man could have multiple wives—even the slaves were allowed to do that. Polygamy was no big deal.
Hence, it was understandable for Li Nianwei to listen to Hong Dali’s request and discontinue her participation in Sing! Milky Way.
However, how could the advertisement effects be better after she quit Sing! Milky Way? What was going on?
“Because of Miss Nianwei’s withdrawal from the Sing! Milky Way competition, her performance had become the rarest commodity.” Secretary Xiao Liu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. “Because of that, people’s support for her has become terrifying. In all 100 main cities, people have requested the opening of a Women’s Gang franchise store there. Hence, in just two days, our Women’s Gang has received over 26,300 franchise store applications. The franchise fee for one store is around 6,000 Galaxy Dollars. In other words, just the franchise fees alone for all these stores would be…” He gulped. “157.8 million dollars. If you factor in the clothes needed by all these franchise stores and assume each store makes a net profit of 3,500 Galaxy Dollars from sales, the entire clothing company’s net profits will amount to 249,850,000 Galaxy Dollars. This amount comes just from their one-time down payment too…”
When he was done with all that, Xiao Liu looked deeply concerned. He repeated his classic line. “CEO Hong, I feel that my sense of logic was shattered all over the floor again.”
Hm, not only did Xiao Liu collapse, so did Hong Weiguo.
How much did it cost for them to take over the two clothing companies? Less than forty million dollars.
In just two days, the profit created exceeded 249,850,000 Galaxy Dollars…
That’s basically robbery!
“Oh my god.” Hong Weiguo stared with wide eyes. “This kid Dali, he’s found two money trees as his wives!”
Hong Weiguo was right.
Originally, how much would it cost to hire a mega-star of Li Nianwei’s caliber? At least a few million dollars, right? How much profit would remain then?
What about now? It was free for Li Nianwei to represent her own brand.
“Furthermore,” Xiao Liu looked like he was high from doping. “the food processing company that the Young Master previously bought is being flooded with orders. More than 300 million Dali Chocolates have been sold. On average, one sells for 1.2 Galaxy Dollars and costs 0.8 Galaxy Dollars to produce. In other words, the net profit on one piece is forty cents. For 300 million pieces, a net profit of 120 million dollars can be expected…”
Alright, another robbery. This is just in the short-term too. After all, it’s a food-related business. If this continues in the long run…
Hong Weiguo suddenly realized. How was this the Galaxy Alliance Center? This was basically heaven!
Within such a short while, the money basically fell from the sky. It was growing exponentially!
Hong Weiguo leaned against the sofa and lit up a cigarette. He then sighed. “Sigh, what did I say. Our Dali wanted to be a superprodigal, and he really is the right person for it! Hahaha! Good! Great! With all this wealth, our Dali will become a nouveau riche again! Squander. He must violently squander! Xiao Liu, please continue. Look for some other businesses suitable for Nianwei to advertise. Remember, you must take care of everything properly. Nianwei will become our Dali’s future wife. Don’t tire her out!”
“Understood!” Xiao Liu instantly agreed.
…
On the other side, inside the Sauron Auction Center in Shenluo City. An intense fight-like auction was commencing!
“Ladies and gentlemen.” The auctioneer was passionate. His voice was filled with seduction. “Then, I’m sure all of you know our next piece by now! That’s right, twenty pieces of double attribute +8 super-rare embedding gems!”
Double attribute +8 super-rare embedding gems. Twenty full pieces!
Almost everyone attending the auction today came for the embedding gems. Now that it had reached the climax, the real fight was about to begin!
“Then, let’s start the auction for the first double attribute gem!” The auctioneer said, “It’s so enchanting and so powerful! Strength +8, Agility +8! Such a good thing must be a super-rare item! Then, its starting bid will be one million Galaxy Dollars. No ceiling! If anybody wants it, please bid!”
“Two million!”
“Two and a half million!”
“Three million!”
“Four million!”
Within a few rounds, the super-rare double attribute gem was sold for the high price of six million dollars.
After all, there were many rich people present, but the super-rare attribute gems were not so easily purchasable just with money. One must wait for the right opportunity!
Now that the first double attribute gem was sold for six million dollars, the rest became easy.
Soon, all twenty double attribute gems were sold out…
…
Hong Dali woke up refreshed in the morning. After his breakfast, Ling Xiaoyi reported, “Young Master, the auctions for the double attribute gems have concluded. After paying the transaction fees, a total of ninety-six million dollars have been deposited into your account.”
“Yea, sure.” Hong Dali sniffled. “Right, are there any good news these few days?”
He was busy laying his seed for the past few days. Sigh, his waist was so sore…
“Yes, quite a few.” Ling Xiaoyi covered her mouth and smiled. “Miss Nianwei took the time to shoot a few advertisements for Old Master’s clothing company. It’s had an excellent impact so far. Also, because of the Galaxy Super Mecha Wars, the spacecraft company that you previously took over has started developing replicas for Granzon and Valsion. I heard that there are many pre-orders.”
“Hmm, not bad.” Hong Dali was satisfied. “Alright, that should be it for now. Anything else?”
“Yes. Young Master, you previously bought a piece of land.” Ling Xiaoyi thought for a while. “It cost you thirty-six million Galaxy Dollars at the time. However, it’s been left untouched. Young Master, what’s your plan for that?”
Land? What land? Did I buy it?
Hong Dali touched his chin and thought for a while. He could not remember when he bought the land. He could only helplessly ask, “Did I really buy a piece of land? Are you sure?”
“Er…” Ling Xiaoyi was speechless. “You were sleeping on that day, Young Master. Someone came to sell things and you just took them all directly…”
“I see.” Hong Dali snapped his fingers. “Then, let’s go and take a look. Speaking of which, I haven’t taken over any land for a while. Let’s see what this piece of land is worth!”
