Morax is dead, Liyue will fall into my hands.

We take such huge risks in business, and we get scolded whether we make a profit or a loss. Is that fair? Absolutely not!

And it's the greatest insult to us! The biggest misunderstanding, which I believe we must eliminate..."

Some guests couldn't help but frown when they heard Li Ye's sarcastic remarks.

He thought to himself: Even if this is what you, Mr. Li, really think, is it necessary to say it in this kind of setting? Isn't this a classic case of indirectly criticizing someone?

This kind of person doesn't know when to speak or act. Don't be proud of yourself now; you'll suffer a great loss sooner or later!

Li Ye knew that some people would think that way, but he didn't care at all, because businessmen don't care about being scolded; they only care about making money.

"Ring ring ring".

Just as Li Ye was venting his anger, his cell phone finally rang in his pocket.

It's a pity there's no ringtone, otherwise I would definitely have asked Yun Jin to help me record a segment of "Qiu Qiu Yao".

The guests, who had been somewhat impatient with Li Ye's speech, perked up immediately when they heard the sudden ringing of the bell.

What's making that noise?

It seemed to be coming from Li Ye's pants pocket.

Seeing the gazes of thousands of people, Li Ye had no choice but to stop his speech. He deliberately waited for more than ten seconds before somewhat embarrassedly taking out his phone from his pocket and hanging up the call with Manager Zhang.

Manager Zhang at Jiaxuan Teahouse immediately understood his boss's meaning when he saw Li Ye hang up the phone.

If the call was hung up immediately, it means the boss was busy and unable to answer. The fact that it took so long to hang up means...

Li Ye had barely hung up the phone during the banquet when it rang again less than a minute later.

This time, Li Ye pretended to take out his phone again, and then pretended to apologize, saying, "I'm really sorry, it was the manager of Jiaxuan Teahouse who reported to me on the daily work. It took up half a minute of everyone's time."

Reporting on work? How does the manager of Jiaxuan Teahouse report on work to you?

Before the guests could even process what was happening, Li Ye had already answered the phone. Without waiting for Manager Zhang to speak, he snapped, "I have important things to do right now and don't have time to listen to your report. Call me back in half an hour!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Ye prepared to continue his speech. When he looked at the guests at the banquet, their gazes towards him had completely changed.

Chapter 111: The "Morra Phone" Launch Event

Li Ye admitted that the marketing campaign involved a gamble, but the results were far better than expected.

Most of the people invited to this banquet were businessmen, and their sensitivity to timely communication is far beyond that of ordinary people.

The ability to transmit sound over long distances has appeared in Teyvat before, but it is mostly the privilege of immortals, or at least a few "Gengoku" with the Vision of God. Ordinary people have no chance to come into contact with it.

Manager Zhang of Jiaxuan Teahouse is obviously an ordinary person;

Li Ye could tell from the action just now that he hadn't used the Eye of God.

Now, two ordinary people have been able to easily transmit information over long distances using this "rectangular thing." What could be more noteworthy than this?

More importantly, no matter how important Manager Zhang is to Jiaxuan Teahouse, he is still just a manager.

The fact that Li Ye was willing to let him use that "rectangular thing" to report on his work every day indicates that this "rectangular thing" is definitely not a priceless treasure, and may even be mass-produced.

These guests have gleaned a wealth of information from a scene that lasts less than a minute.

Their already impatient hearts began to stir again. They sensed a business opportunity, or rather, an opportunity to make a fortune!

Although Feng Yan and Liang Zhou were not businessmen, their hearts were also filled with turbulent emotions.

Immortal artifact!

It must be a magical artifact from a celestial being!

Boss Li is indeed no ordinary person; we must cling to this powerful figure and never let go, even if it means our death.

As for those who were just complaining that Li Ye would suffer a huge loss in business, all I want to say now is: Master Li is farsighted and genuine; he's clearly destined to make a fortune! How much is this? I'll buy it!

Ningguang, Keqing, and Zhongli, who were at the banquet, couldn't help but curse Li Ye inwardly when they saw his apologetic expression.

Even a fool could guess that Li Ye deliberately chose this opportunity to advertise his "Mora phone".

And judging from the reactions of those around them, there's no need to worry about sales for this first batch.

No, perhaps by tonight, the first batch will already be sold out.

Ke Qing exclaimed that things were in trouble; Li Ye's publicity tactics were too ruthless.

She was even thinking of stockpiling a batch of phones and then scalping them to make a profit from the price difference, in order to make up for the investment she had made out of her own pocket to hire Yan Fei.

Given the current situation, I don't want to end up not even having the chance to be a scalper anymore.

No, I need to talk to Li Ye privately later. I need to reserve at least ten... no, at least twenty.

I just donated one million Mora, all of which was money I earned through hard work!

On stage, Li Ye turned off his phone and pretended to be annoyed, losing his previous enthusiasm. He then said a few more words and ended his speech, preparing to bow and leave the stage.

Although Ningguang thought Li Ye was a "dog," considering that she had shares in the business, she still silently gave him a thumbs up in her heart: You're truly amazing!

He then gave Bai Wen, who was sitting in the audience not far away, a wink. Bai Wen immediately nodded in understanding and then said to Li Ye, "Mr. Li, could you please introduce what you have in your hand..."

It's fortunate that Liyue's marketing is lacking; if an Earthling saw this kind of storyline, they would definitely want to call them a shill.

This is exactly what Li Ye was waiting for.

The charity speech stage has now been transformed into a "Mora product" launch event, and the audience standing below is the target audience, making it a perfect combination.

He offered a perfunctory apology again, saying, "I'm sorry, I made a fool of myself in front of everyone just now."

This is a mobile phone, mainly used for long-distance calls.

Because I often need to travel and am not at Jiaxuan Teahouse, I instructed the teahouse manager to call me directly if any emergencies occur that the teahouse cannot handle.

Or you can report to me in the evening about the day's events, so that I won't be unaware of any problems that might arise if you're not at the teahouse for a long time.

I just didn't expect things to be so unfortunate tonight, which has spoiled everyone's enjoyment. I hope you will all forgive me.

No, no!

Mr. Li is wrong!

What a coincidence!

If it weren't for this phone call, no one would have known that you, sir, had this amazing treasure!

You're lucky you've made your fortune; with this treasure, why don't you get ahead of everyone else?

Upon hearing Li Ye's explanation, Bai Wen's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Long-distance communication? Does that mean that Manager Zhang can easily contact Boss Li using this phone while at Jiaxuan Teahouse? That's amazing!"

"Could I ask Mr. Li privately, is there a distance limit? Approximately how far can it transmit messages normally?"

Li Ye laughed: "What's wrong with asking? As long as both of us are within Liyue, we can easily communicate freely."

"Gudong"

That's the sound of swallowing saliva.

Many of the guests present swallowed hard, their eyes filled with greed as they stared intently at the phone Li Ye was holding.

If this weren't the Jade Pavilion, Li Ye was genuinely worried that someone would pounce and snatch it.

Your eyes are terrifying! Even the most perverted person wouldn't get this excited when seeing erotic pictures.

Baiwen readily followed up with another question: "So that means as long as two people have this phone, they can achieve barrier-free communication over long distances? What about three people? Do we need four phones?"

Li Ye now feels that if the phone sells well, he must give Baiwen a big red envelope.

With your performance, tonight's press conference was truly a match made in heaven!

He shook his head and explained, "No need for that. Every mobile phone has a fixed numerical code. As long as you enter this numerical code, you can communicate with the designated person."

Additionally, if a group of people really want to chat, there's a group chat function, similar to a meeting.

Group chat!?

The Liyue merchants cried out in their hearts: My Geo Lord, isn't this specially prepared for us merchants?

Instructor Fengyan of the Qianyan Army exclaimed inwardly: Isn't this equipment specially designed for our Qianyan Army?

Liang Zhou, standing next to him, also clenched his fists unconsciously: This is practically tailor-made for our General Affairs Department!

The last few young men huddled together and whispered: "If we each had one, it would be really convenient to get together for music listening and bird walking..."

With everyone's expectations reaching their peak thanks to the phone's features, Baiwen finally asked the question that everyone was so concerned about: "Mr. Li, is it difficult to manufacture this phone? I mean, can it be mass-produced and sold?"

Li Ye noticed that as Bai Wen asked the question, almost everyone subconsciously held their breath, as if waiting for him to deliver his verdict.

"Of course!"

Chapter 112: What truly means to rob the rich and help the poor?

These two short words were like a bomb exploding in the entire banquet hall, causing a sensation.

Although the guests were trying to suppress their excitement, their trembling hands and flushed cheeks betrayed their truest feelings at that moment.

It was only out of politeness; otherwise, someone in the audience would definitely have shouted, "Master Li, forever a god!" And they would have also dragged Mao Lian out and given him a good beating to show their sincerity.

Li Ye not only successfully won over the basic support of the people of Liyue Harbor through word of mouth and reputation, but tonight he also perfectly lured in these merchants of Liyue by using the mobile phone as a pie.

At this point, it was clear that Mao Lian was doomed, and Mao Cai Gong's business would also be affected.

What needs to be done next is simply to kick a man when he's down.

Zhongli, standing in the crowd, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration upon seeing this scene. He remarked that Li Ye's marketing skills were absolutely unparalleled in Liyue, and perhaps even unmatched in the entire Teyvat continent.

This masterful control over people's hearts, this perfect grasp of their emotions, is textbook-worthy.

It is foreseeable that after this, many Liyue merchants, even those who do not care about the business Li Ye is doing, will devote themselves to studying his marketing methods, and it is unknown whether this is good or bad for Liyue.

After everyone's excitement subsided a bit, Li Ye continued to explain: "Although that's true, to be honest, this kind of phone is very expensive to manufacture, and the production volume is not high. It is currently still in the trial production stage."

That's why we've never publicized it before, and this time it just so happened that we made such a fool of ourselves.

In a sense, I'm taking this opportunity to give our valued guests who are interested in mobile phones a heads-up.

At this point, someone finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "So... when can we buy the first batch, or is there another way to get them?"

Li Ye said with a smile, "It will be the end of this year, but because of the high cost, the quantity will not be large. The cost should be reduced later, but the price of the first batch will definitely be very high."

It would probably cost a million Mora, so there are no plans to put it up for sale for the time being.

In addition, the "Wanmin Daily" will also publish detailed information about mobile phones in the future; those interested can follow it.

million!?
