Rebirth of the Cultivation Devil-Chapter 989 - 916: A Joke?

"It’s just a paid internet troll. Is that broken Huayu phone really worth Ten Thousand Yuan? If this year’s new Fruit model sells for Ten Thousand Yuan, that’s understandable. It’s perfect for making those poor losers unable to afford it, and that’s what really shows off status."

"Exactly, what an idiot. Spending Ten Thousand Yuan on a Huayu mobile, no way can our country’s crappy manufacturers make a phone better than the Double Star Fruit. Anyone buying Huayu must be out of their minds."

The general sentiment online was overwhelmingly negative. Even statements supporting the Huayu Group were quickly drowned out by others.

There were too many skeptics; no one believed that Huayu had the capability to produce a phone worth Ten Thousand Yuan.

However, amidst all the online uproar, Huayu Group maintained complete silence, offering no response.

A few days later, Huayu Group finally released an official announcement.

The message was simple: Huayu’s phone was about to hit the market, but it wouldn’t be available in physical stores, only online.

Moreover, no refunds or exchanges would be accepted.

The price would remain at Ten Thousand Yuan per unit.

Furthermore, in limited quantities, with only Ten Thousand units released each week.

Netizens exploded with indignation. It was blatant tyranny. Who’s foolish enough to buy such a phone? It’s clearly a scam.

Everyone knew that Huayu was out to rip people off, but no one expected it to be this severe.

"Ridiculous! Selling a garbage phone for Ten Thousand Yuan; only a fool would buy it."

"Ha! What’s so great about Huayu Group? If I buy your Huayu phone, I’ll be your son."

"Same tune, if Huayu Group can sell a thousand phones, I’ll eat shit on a live stream, big mouthfuls of it."

"Haha, quite the attitude, first time seeing such guts in a CEO. I support you! Hope you slap those people’s faces!"

"Slap them? With him? Everyone knows Huayu’s capabilities. Is it possible? Just a clown seeking attention. Sooner or later, Huayu is doomed!"

The discussions were lively, and the Huayu Group’s official website was on the verge of crashing, overwhelmed by the number of comments.

Indeed, the attention on Huayu Group’s phone had surged to unprecedented levels, never before had so many people focused on Huayu’s phone.

However, for a typical company, this wouldn’t be good news, considering most of the attention was criticism, a recipe for self-destruction, with many just waiting to laugh at Huayu Group’s failure.

But Ye Qingfeng didn’t care, as he wasn’t even reading the comments.

He had no time to spar with a bunch of people online; if anyone dared to talk crap in front of him, he’d have already taken action.

Ye Qingfeng picked up a phone, the new Huayu model about to launch. He found a number and dialed it.

"Hello, Liu Man, there’s something I need you to do."

Ye Qingfeng’s voice was indifferent.

Ye Qingfeng maintained his aloof tone, he didn’t say ’I need your help’, but ’I need you to do’, a commanding tone.

However, on the other end, Liu Man showed no dissatisfaction.

Ye Qingfeng’s cool demeanor moved her, making her wonder if she was somehow masochistic; the more aloof Ye Qingfeng was, the more irresistible she found him.

Ye Qingfeng didn’t mince words, directly giving the instructions.

He wasn’t worried about Liu Man refusing; even if she did, he wouldn’t be angry, it would just mean the end of his ties with the Morgan family, each going their separate ways.

However, Liu Man did not offer any rebuttals; after hearing Ye Qingfeng’s words, she was shocked but still respectfully said:

"Okay, Divine Doctor Ye, rest assured, it should be no problem. However, I need to consult with Young Master Wosi, who is very grateful to you and will certainly agree."

"Good."

Ye Qingfeng didn’t say more, hanging up directly.

On the other side, Liu Man lay gracefully on the sofa, wrapped in silky pajamas, her tender thighs entwined.

She was now the general manager for the Morgan family in Huaxia, with Wang Ying now merely her subordinate. With her elevated status and broader perspective, she naturally wouldn’t clash with Wang Ying anymore.

A hint of melancholy flashed in her eyes. Over thirty, yet her skin was as tender and smooth as a young girl’s, and her beauty was top-grade. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

She had many suitors, but none caught her interest. Ye Qingfeng was different; despite being young, his commanding and calm presence captivated Liu Man.

Yet she understood that a man like Ye Qingfeng would never be interested in her; she was merely a passing guest in his life.

The online debate grew increasingly intense, with many calling for Huayu Group to get out of the mobile industry, labeling Huayu a disgrace, exploiting people, doomed to fail.

Despite such outcries, quite a few eagerly anticipated Huayu’s phone, not because they wanted to buy it, but out of curiosity about a phone daring to sell for Ten Thousand Yuan per unit.

At this moment, the Morgan family sent their representatives, not disappointing Ye Qingfeng; Young Master Wosi’s gratitude towards him was genuine.

More importantly, Ye Qingfeng’s capabilities and potential, as a future heir of the Morgan family, Wosi hoped to foster good ties with this extraordinary person from the East.

A massive batch of phones was secretly transported from Huayu’s lab to the Morgan family’s people, headed for Europe.

A week later, everything was ready, perfectly timed for Monday, when Huayu Group officially announced the pre-order information.

Limited pre-orders, just as previously stated, only Ten Thousand units available.

Just for one hour, if they didn’t sell out within the hour, the sales channel would close.

At this moment, Huayu Group’s official site showed no activity, yet other forums were already abuzz.

"Wow, Huayu Group is actually starting sales. It really is Ten Thousand Yuan. No pictures or specs released yet, will anyone really buy it?"

"Buy my ass! Even if their phone is good, I wouldn’t buy it based on their stupid official statements."

"Ten Thousand Yuan a piece, with nothing disclosed. They’re just waiting to scam fools; only those with a screw loose would fall for it."

"My vow remains unchanged, sell a thousand units, live stream eating shit, prepared for a week’s worth already."

"Tsk, I wanted to watch the guy above live stream that, but it looks like there’s no chance. Huayu Group, it’s over!"

The forums were bustling with discussion, and ridicule was endless, while Huayu’s official page showed not a single unit sold of the Ten Thousand phones available.

Time ticked away, and each forum’s mockery continued. Huayu Group, though a sizable company, was now the butt of a colossal joke.

Huayu Group hadn’t sold a single phone; the Ten Thousand units on their official site remained, now grayed out, indicating the sales channel was closed.

"Haha, what a joke. Doesn’t Huayu Group even know to buy some internally? Or at least fudge the numbers. Such disgrace."

"Brought this upon themselves, Huayu Group deserved it, digging their own grave."

"Sigh, a thousand units for eating shit, looks like I set the bar too high."
