Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 176: Booming Business! Chaos in the Spirit Hall!
Chapter 176 - 176: Booming Business! Chaos in the Spirit Hall!
Ning Rongrong happily ran home holding a jar of facial mask mud.
Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo were discussing matters in the hall.
Ning Rongrong jumped in excitedly.
"Rongrong, little princess..."
The three of them immediately stood up.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo rushed to Ning Rongrong's side like two old children.
Ning Rongrong snorted and didn't choose anyone.
"Sword Grandpa, Bone Grandpa, you didn't even come to see me. You don't know how hard I've been working at Blue Tyrant Academy!"
Ning Rongrong started her complaints.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo immediately looked guilty.
"Oh, Rongrong..."
Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "Rongrong, you mischievous little girl, is there something going on that you'd come home? Don't make things difficult for your two grandfathers."
Ning Rongrong chuckled and pointed to her face, "Let me test you first. Do you notice anything different about me? If anyone can't answer, it means you don't care about Rongrong!"
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were stumped.
The two old men, how could they notice any changes to her face?
They looked at her for a while but didn't notice anything.
Ning Rongrong puffed out her cheeks and looked at them disapprovingly.
They grew even more awkward.
Ning Fengzhi saw the jar of facial mask mud in Ning Rongrong's arms and smiled, "I assume you've tried the facial mask mud, and the results are quite remarkable?"
"Yes! Dad is the best, but also, it's because I saw the facial mask mud, right?"
Ning Rongrong snorted and said unhappily, "Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa didn't notice, which means they don't care about me."
This statement directly made the two old men, who combined were over a hundred years old, feel very wronged.
"Alright, Rongrong wants me to help promote it?" Ning Fengzhi asked with a smile.
"Yes! This facial mask mud is amazing! And it was developed by one of my teachers!"
Ning Rongrong proudly said.
Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up with surprise. "You say they are your teacher?"
He had mentioned to Dan Heng more than once that he hoped Ning Rongrong could become his disciple, but it had always been politely declined.
If this could be achieved, it would be a great thing!
Others didn't know Dan Heng's abilities, but he did!
"Yes, it's actually a teacher from Blue Tyrant Academy, Dad, you've met her before, she's the instructor for the Blue Tyrant Battle Team, beautiful like a goddess! Her name is Teacher Gu!" Ning Rongrong explained.
Ning Fengzhi's interest waned. So it wasn't the person he had hoped for.
However, he had already guessed that the mastermind behind the facial mask was Dan Heng.
Since it was Dan Heng's business, he would certainly help.
This was all about mutual favor.
Even if Dan Heng didn't know it now, he would eventually find out.
"Rongrong, don't worry, I'll definitely help. And, you should also ask Teacher Gu if she would consider cooperating with us, the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect. It's really hard for the Tian Shui Academy to expand their business across the entire Douluo Continent. Their influence is nothing compared to ours, right?"
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, plotting to intercept the business opportunity.
"Okay!" Ning Rongrong nodded vigorously.
...
Three days later, the first batch of facial mask mud was produced.
Shui Bing'er and the other women came to the mask workshop.
She asked the person in charge how many jars of facial mask mud had been made.
The person in charge replied, "In these three days, our people worked day and night to make 13,000 jars..."
"Good work. Give them a double bonus," Shui Bing'er smiled and said.
Shui Bing'er then led the Tian Shui female group to the warehouse to watch.
Jars of facial mask mud were stacked up like little hills.
"13,000 jars. How long will it take to sell all of these? And they also have a shelf life... The cost of raw materials, labor, and other expenses per jar adds up to about 20 gold soul coins, but with Teacher Gu's pricing, it's sold for 90 gold soul coins. How many noblewomen will be willing to spend that much money without even having a market yet?"
Xue Wu shook her head, not optimistic about this business.
Shui Bing'er also frowned. Even though they made a profit of 70 gold soul coins per jar, they could only keep half of the selling price, meaning they would get 45 gold soul coins, which gave them a profit of 25 gold soul coins.
To break even, they would need to sell at least 100,000 jars!
That wasn't even considering whether there would be any unsold stock that would expire...
"Let's take it one step at a time. The Seven Treasure Glazed Sect sent us a letter, saying they're willing to buy the cooperation rights from us and Teacher Gu. That's good news! We just need to lose about 50,000 gold soul coins, and we can get out."
"I just replied to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, saying we're willing to do business with them, but they'll need to raise the price by 30,000 gold soul coins."
Shui Bing'er smiled slightly, showing some relief.
At least they had found a buyer.
Just then, a figure hurriedly ran up from behind them.
It was Shui Yue'er.
Recently, Shui Yue'er had been in charge of managing the store, a platform for external sales.
She rushed over breathlessly, her face flushed and out of breath.
Shui Bing'er touched her forehead and helplessly said:
"Yue'er, what are you so anxious about?"
Shui Yue'er grabbed Shui Bing'er's wrist and said urgently, "Sister! Sister! Do you know? A lot of noblewomen have come to order our facial mask mud! The orders are already over 100,000 jars! And that's just from the noblewomen around Tiandou City!"
"How many jars have you made? You need to speed up! The royal palace alone wants a thousand jars!"
"I told you so! You should have believed Teacher Gu! She's Dan Heng's wife, how could she be wrong? This business is too hot! We've got a money-making business on our hands!"
Shui Yue'er's excitement was palpable, her eyes sparkling.
"!!!" Shui Bing'er froze in place.
The other members of the Tian Shui female group were also stunned.
To think they had just heard Shui Bing'er was about to sell the cooperation rights to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect for a low price!
Now, the business was booming, and while the orders were theirs, they could only profit from this one batch!
The rights to this clearly profitable business had already been handed away!
"I... I..." Shui Bing'er's eyes flickered, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Xue Wu grabbed Shui Yue'er's shoulder and asked urgently:
"Yue'er, are you joking? Is it really that many..."
Shui Yue'er laughed, "How could I joke with you? I specifically asked around, and now all the noblewomen are flocking to buy this facial mask mud!"
"Even the leader of Moon Pavillion, Lady Li Siter, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect... they're all promoting it! We're about to make a fortune!"
Shui Yue'er's eyes almost turned into gold soul coins.
In front of them was a treasure chest!
However, the Tian Shui female group couldn't laugh.
Shui Bing'er's face even turned pale, "No, no... Hurry, stop the messenger and don't let it get to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect!"
Shui Bing'er shouted regretfully.
She didn't care about her demeanor anymore, she ran off in a hurry.
Even more urgently than Shui Yue'er had earlier!
...
Moon Pavilion.
Tang Xiao had arrived again, looking at the jars of facial mask mud on Tang Yuehua's desk. He opened the lid and took a deep breath.
"The scent is nice, but this little thing costs 99 gold soul coins? Are they robbing people?"
Tang Xiao stared in shock and shouted.
Tang Yuehua rolled her eyes and looked at her big brother, who looked like a bandit, and said irritably, "Big brother, you don't understand, so just leave it alone, but don't break my facial mask!"
She snatched it away, glaring at Tang Xiao.
Tang Xiao scratched his head, "I just don't get it. Are all those women fools, spending this money for no reason?"
Tang Yuehua gave him a cold look.
Tang Xiao immediately shut his mouth because one of those "fools" was his sister right in front of him.
Tang Yuehua explained, "Big brother, you've been living in the mountains too long, you don't get the wisdom behind this little jar!"
"It's potential enough to support the assets needed by the top three sects! That's why I brought you here."
Tang Yuehua said seriously.
Tang Xiao blinked, still not understanding the value, muttering, "Sounds impressive..."
Tang Yuehua sighed, looking at her brother helplessly, "Just know this, we must get it! The assets of the Haotian Sect have been destroyed by the Spirit Hall, but if we emerge, we'll need new industries, and this is a ready-made one!"
"So, who do we approach?" Tang Xiao, not understanding, just asked, wanting to follow his sister's lead.
Tang Yuehua shook her head helplessly, then looked at him seriously, "The best way is the 'Yin Yue' person I asked you to find last time."
Tang Xiao's face grew awkward, not daring to meet Tang Yuehua's gaze.
Back then, when Tang Yuehua asked him to find him, he searched for two to three days without any results, and didn't want to continue trying.
Tang Yuehua continued, "Now, the plan is to connect with the Tian Shui Academy. Hopefully, we can share some of the profits..."
Tang Xiao nodded, then suddenly said, "By the way, sis, I heard something. Did that Yin Yue guy flirt with you in Moon Pavilion?"
Tang Yuehua's face immediately flushed, and she spat out, irritated, "Rumors! Don't listen to them!"
Seeing his sister getting flustered, Tang Xiao became even more certain that that guy had flirted with his sister!
He was now determined that the little guy must take responsibility!
...
At the Imperial Palace, Prince Xuexing had specially come to report to Emperor Xueye about the facial mask matter, and coincidentally, "Xue Qinghe" was also there.
Emperor Xueye smiled and said, "Xuexing, you're really becoming more and more of a businessperson. It's just a business, why do you care so much? It's just a woman's business, don't make us laugh."
Xuexing was anxious, "Your Majesty, this is no ordinary business! We must get involved, it holds enormous value"
"Enough, I don't want our Heavenly Dou Royal Family to be made a laughingstock," Xueye waved his hand, speaking decisively.
"...
Prince Xuexing was nearly losing his mind.
He was the one responsible for this area, and he knew just how huge the market potential of the Dan Yue face mask was!
But Xueye was preventing him from getting involved...
He couldn't help but glance at "Xue Qinghe," even hoping that his "political rival" would cooperate with him.
"Xue Qinghe" was slightly stunned, immediately thinking of Dan Heng and Gu Yue Na when he heard the name "Dan Yue face mask."
"Your son also thinks that it is unnecessary to affect the royal family's reputation."
"..." Xuexing almost wanted to shout angrily at them.
These two had no vision at all!!!
...
"Bang...!"
Suddenly, Flanders barged in, shouting loudly.
"Xiaogang! You were wrong! Completely wrong! Their business is booming! I heard they made over a hundred million Soul Coins from their first deal!"
In the room, Yu Xiaogang was tutoring Hu Liena on the theory of martial souls.
He deliberately adopted a serious and formal demeanor, adhering to etiquette, using the "tame and seize" approach, but inwardly he was already flustered.
Especially after hearing Hu Liena's sweet compliments, Yu Xiaogang felt like he was floating on air.
Flanders startled him so much that he lost his balance and fell.
Hu Liena hurried to help him up.
"Master, are you alright?" Hu Liena asked with concern.
Yu Xiaogang waved his hand, stood up, and glared at Flanders, saying angrily, "Flanders! I told you! You need to knock before entering! Can you show some manners?!"
Flanders gave an awkward laugh, "Sorry, Xiaogang, I was too excited because Teacher Gu's business is doing so well..."
Flanders then explained the whole story and gave Yu Xiaogang a suspicious look.
Clearly, Yu Xiaogang had been so adamant that the business would fail.
But what happened? It not only didn't fail, but they made a huge profit!
This made Flanders incredibly envious, but also a little resentful toward Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang's eyes flickered, feeling awkward.
Losing face in front of Hu Liena was something he absolutely couldn't accept.
Hu Liena gently said, "There might be a lot of twists and turns in this, maybe they are using smoke and mirrors to make it seem like the business is great to attract more buyers."
"What Nana said makes sense. Flanders, you're too hasty, too impatient!" Yu Xiaogang said, trying to act calm.
Flanders immediately saw through Yu Xiaogang's nervousness.
He couldn't be bothered to argue with them, so he added fuel to the fire, "Xiaogang, they managed to come up with a face mask, as a master, surely you have something similar? If we have it, even if we only sell the formula, we could still make a lot of money!"
Yu Xiaogang thought for a moment, "I... of course I have a way!"
"Master is amazing!" Hu Liena immediately praised.
Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but puff up his chest.

Meanwhile, as the face mask business was flourishing, in Soul Arena City, several Elders ascended to the Sacrificial Mountain, hoping to meet with the Grand Priest, Qian Daoliu, to have him mediate the situation.
Bibi Dong had already brought her sword to bear on them.
Although she was targeting weaker family forces at the moment, anyone with eyes could tell that she had them in her sights!
And the three political orders she had issued were entirely meant to treat these family forces as pigs to be raised!
The Elders and Platinum Bishops arrived outside the Worship Hall, hoping to summon the Grand Priest to stop Bibi Dong.
But the Grand Priest did not appear. Instead, the Second Sacrificial Priest, Golden Crocodile Douluo, emerged.
"Go back! The Grand Priest won't involve himself in these matters. The Pope's actions are justified..."
