I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1226 - 1220: What Exactly Is the Sun Heaven Sect?
"Have you all heard? There’s a huge grudge case emerging in the Land of Chaos."
"Who doesn’t know by now? Buying at a loss, selling at a loss—what are they trying to achieve?"
"I heard it’s because the Haotian Chamber of Commerce offended them, so they’re using this as a form of retaliatory behavior, specifically naming them as rivals."
"Is that so? But can they really make it? The Haotian Chamber of Commerce is one of the richest powers on the entire continent, thinking two people can bring it down is just nonsense, right?"
"But I heard they’re actually quite formidable. They can even produce things like Life Fruits, something even the Haotian Chamber of Commerce can’t manage! I even heard someone recently wanted a barren-grade cultivation technique, and guess what? He brought out hundreds of copies for them to choose from!"
"Did they really sell it?"
"Of course, such things can’t be measured in money! That person probably just wanted to disgust those two vendors, only to end up slapping themselves in the face."
"And the Haotian Commerce Guild had no reaction?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"What could they do? They have no price advantage, and their product quality can’t compare either. Now, the entire Haotian Commerce Guild’s building is nearly deserted, who would want to buy from them?"
Everyone thought the stall supported by this old man and young man would last just a few days, and once their goods were sold out and the money was lost, this farce would probably end.
Some roughly estimated they were losing at least several million martial crystals a day, a massive amount of money that could purchase a seventh-grade dynasty, yet they didn’t even blink as if it wasn’t money at all.
And the most outrageous thing was that they bought everything, even selling sword array techniques that had become extinct on the Haotian Continent for who knows how long, offering an overwhelming choice.
Not even the most prosperous auction in the history of the Haotian Continent could find anything unavailable at Zhang Menglong’s place.
It’s not like no one coveted their treasures, with anything they possessed likely to cause a sensation across the Haotian Continent, they must have been targeted by countless people.
There were even those who thought after the first day of their sales, they wouldn’t see them the next day.
However, it had been several days, and every morning, they appeared punctually at their stall, while the Land of Chaos was seeing fewer people, those who understood would know why.
But in a place like the Land of Chaos, where law doesn’t apply, even in a ninth-grade dynasty, something as precious as a Life Fruit would render the law irrelevant, with even the lawmakers likely to go crazy over it.
To dare openly do business and expose their wealth with just two people, either their brains weren’t functioning, or they had strong backing or capabilities.
Eventually, few dared to trouble them anymore.
In the most luxurious room at the top of the Haotian Chamber of Commerce, a middle-aged man was looking through a window with a worried expression, overlooking Zhang Menglong and Feng Cong’s stall.
This middle-aged man was naturally Du Shang, in charge of the Haotian Commerce Guild in the Land of Chaos, and from a realm perspective, he was merely a martial artist in the Heaven-breaking Realm—while not weak, almost at the bottom in this chaotic place.
However, within the Haotian Chamber of Commerce, his status was quite special. He had shown exceptional business talent at just five years old, later studying under famous teachers, gradually rising in the business world, and gaining recognition from the Chamber’s higher-ups.
That’s why such an important position in the Land of Chaos was entrusted to him.
During his decades there, the Guild’s revenue capability had steadily increased, almost doubling or tripling compared to his predecessor’s earnings!
Until now, he hadn’t encountered a difficult opponent, partly because the Haotian Chamber backed by great resources would crush any competing organization.
When Du Shang took over, there were countless large and small chambers in the Land of Chaos, and they only held half of the market. But now they were practically monopolizing it, a result of Du Shang’s personal ability and the Chamber’s strength combined.
He was very familiar with Zhang Menglong’s tactics, as they were identical to what he used to topple several large chambers back in the day!
The Haotian Chamber of Commerce is spread across the Haotian Continent and can absorb some losses. But for other chambers, with price advantages, they were almost deserted, even if this persisted for a long time, the result was very satisfying for them.
And monopolizing the entire City of Chaos’s business allowed those minor losses to quickly be recouped with interest.
However, Du Shang never imagined someone would actually learn their tactics!
Aside from low-value transactions, they had almost no revenue these days, those few days already amounted to astronomical losses.
But he wasn’t panicked, as he could solve funding issues with resource reallocations from other Haotian Chamber sites, he hadn’t yet feared a prolonged battle.
As for that so-called fake Sun Heaven Sect, although these people were good, he believed no one could sustain such great losses, at most they would be gone in a week or two.
"Manager, I’m back!" A young man walked into the room.
"How is it? Is there any result from the investigations I asked you to do?"
"I’ve found out," the young man said, "they’ve been setting up their stall here for seven days, having no business for the first three days, but the next four saw booming sales, with purchases reaching over 6 million martial crystals."
"Ha, losing over 3 million martial crystals. Our Haotian’s profit level was around that, they’re really capable of losing money." Du Shang sneered, "Let’s see how long they can last."
"Um... Manager, the things they sold exceeded 20 million martial crystals in value!"
"What did you say?" Du Shang jerked with shock, their entire Land of Chaos business had monthly revenue around that much, excluding all kinds of costs, with only around 10 million martial crystals of pure profit.
And a small stall not even comparable to one of their counters could generate over 20 million martial crystals in a few days!
This fortune alone was enough for them to comfortably hold out for another ten or fifteen days.
For Zhang Menglong, money was just a number, instead, for those martial artists wanting cheap, low-grade things, he might not even have them on him!
Du Shang initially thought this so-called Sun Heaven Sect was nonsense, even dismissive of Zhang Menglong’s threat, but now he finally sensed something was wrong.
Not to mention anything else, that batch of life plants—was it something normal individuals or organizations could produce?
"Sun Heaven Sect, what on earth is this thing?"
Du Shang slammed the table, "This is too passive, let’s go meet him!"
