Morax is dead, Liyue will fall into my hands.

Keqing exclaimed in surprise, "What a swindler! Didn't we agree on 500,000 per Mora?"

They did some promotion and marketing, and suddenly they doubled it off?

Don't you feel any guilt about making this money?!

Li Ye's conscience wouldn't hurt at all. He not only wouldn't feel any guilt for making money off capitalists, but he would also shout with delight!

Unfortunately, there was no "Wanmin Daily" at the beginning, nor were there such good publicity opportunities. Even the best wine needs advertising, and we were worried that it wouldn't sell.

It's not that they can't be sold anymore, but that if you want to buy them, you need connections and influence!

How do you get connections and relationships?

Charitable foundations welcome your participation!

Li Ye planned to market the phone as a "mechanical watch" of the Teyvat continent, making it a symbol of status, so that he could both exploit capitalists and sell it to ordinary people at a low price.

What does it mean to truly rob the rich?

The point is to get rich people to willingly part with their money, and even beg them to accept it, and then say thank you afterwards.

Once the production process and technology are fully mastered and the production costs are reduced, they can be sold to ordinary vendors at low prices. The vendors will not only happily pay up but also exclaim that they have made a profit.

What is true poverty relief?

The company announced that one percent of the proceeds from every Mora phone sold would go to charity, so that even those from the lower classes of Liyue who might never have the chance to buy a phone before they die could enjoy the benefits of a phone. Naturally, the people of Liyue held the "Mora phone" in high esteem.

After Li Ye finished speaking, the guests were no longer in a hurry.

We can achieve mass production, and we will be able to deliver the first batch of goods this year.

Although the quantity is certainly not large, the price can even reach millions of Mora.

But none of these are the key points. The key point is that as long as you have enough money and strong connections, you can get your own Mora phone by the end of the year!

that's enough.

The rest is up to each individual to use their unique abilities.

Suddenly, someone in the audience seemed to remember something and asked, "Mr. Li, the 'mysterious business' you mentioned, it can't be this phone, can it?"

Li Ye hadn't expected so many people to cooperate today; he was just worried about not having a chance to announce it.

"Of course not, and the mystery of the 'mysterious business' has already been solved. The person who solved it is none other than Miss Ningguang of the Seven Stars of Heavenly Power."

Furthermore, Ms. Ningguang is willing to donate her 500,000 yuan prize money to a "charitable foundation."

Has it already been cracked?

And it's Tianquan Ningguang?

In a sense, this result is both reasonable and unexpected.

Almost everyone in Liyue believes that if anyone in Liyue is to be the first to unravel the secrets behind the "mysterious business," then that person is none other than Ningguang.

And this result will allow everyone who is obsessed with the "mystery business" to accept it honestly.

In fact, precisely because it was Ningguang who cracked the "Mysterious Business" title, it carries even more weight.

If she hadn't come out on top, people might have just said she was just trying to attract attention.

"What exactly is this 'mysterious business'? Can you tell us now?"

"It's probably not possible for now. The interview with Ms. Ningguang will be published in the newspaper together with the announcement. I wonder if Ms. Ningguang would be willing to accept this interview." Li Ye said, looking at Ningguang in the audience.

Ningguang knew that Li Ye was planning to return the favor and also add some prestige to the "Wanmin Daily".

However, even disregarding the fact that Wanmin Daily has its own shares, just considering that Li Ye helped him come up with the idea to start Seven Star Summary, he definitely had to help him.

"I would be delighted, and Mr. Li's business is indeed eye-opening, even giving rise to the idea of ​​cooperating with Mr. Li."

Cooperation? Dream on!

Li Ye really wanted to say that, but the words that came out were: "I am flattered to receive such praise from Miss Ningguang."

Hearing this, many guests showed disappointed expressions. There were still several days until the announcement of the "mysterious business." If only the God of Time could step in and erase these days.

But that expression vanished in an instant, eventually transforming into anticipation.

Even Tianquan Ningguang praised the business highly and even wanted to cooperate, so it must be well-deserved and will surely bring surprises to everyone.

Chapter 113: Team up to "rob" you, huh?

Li Ye finally came down from the stage.

Then Ke Qing came over; she had come to reserve a phone.

Because of Keqing, the other Liyue merchants naturally left.

Although everyone wanted to book a phone, this auntie was someone they simply couldn't afford to offend.

Ke Qing was in a hurry. She knew that Li Ye planned to release two hundred phones in the first batch, and if she couldn't make an appointment in advance, she definitely wouldn't be able to get one: "Mr. Li, I'd like to pre-order a batch of these phones. I don't know if it's a good idea."

How many? In one batch?

When Li Ye heard Ke Qing's idea, he almost gasped, and then pretended to faint on the spot.

Your appetite is far too large! You're asking for a whole batch right off the bat?

What do you mean? You want to become a second-tier distributor?

Or are you just jealous of my wealth and want to take it by force?

Li Ye wiped away imaginary beads of sweat and asked, "Miss Ke Qing, how many are you referring to in this batch?"

"Twenty units, please."

Ke Qing estimated that she didn't have much money of her own, but she could borrow from her parents.

Ke Qing was worried that the phone might become unusable, so she decided to gamble with her pocket money and if she lost, she would have Li Ye pay for it.

It seems unlikely that the bet will lose now, so of course we should increase our position significantly.

Twenty units? Why don't you just rob someone?!

Oh, they're from Yuheng Star, so this is definitely robbery. Never mind then.

Li Ye said with some difficulty, "Miss Ke Qing, you may not know this, but although this phone can indeed transmit information over long distances, it actually has many shortcomings and is not as perfect as you might imagine."

"It doesn't matter, as long as the message can be transmitted, that's enough."

Ke Qing thought to herself, "I've been using this phone for a year, how could I not know what's wrong with it?"

Besides, I often use your phone, Li Ye; no one knows how to use it better than me.

So stop making excuses and give it to me!

Li Ye still wanted to try again. Actually, giving Ke Qing twenty units wouldn't be a big deal; it would only be one-tenth of her total power.

The key question is whether Yuheng Star will also reserve twenty units later.

If Tianquan Star is booked, will Tianshu Star also be booked?

Each of you Liyue Seven Stars has twenty units, and in the blink of an eye I only have forty left. What about the Flying Cloud Merchant Guild, the Hall of Rebirth, and the Hall of Ten Thousand People? Will we still be able to pull strings with them?

"Miss Keqing, to be honest, the first batch is only estimated to be around a hundred units. If you order twenty, what will happen to the other Seven Stars..."

Ke Qing thought to herself, "A hundred or so? You're kidding me. You clearly told me there were two hundred."

Got it, so the plan is to sell 100 units openly and use the remaining 100 to do favors, right?

However, Ke Qing decided to back down, since she was only doing it to make money, while Li Ye was doing it for the future development of the team.

"Ten units then, no less than that."

Li Ye felt there was still one last chance to try and salvage the situation: "Miss Keqing, why are you in such a hurry? The first batch was expensive, but the second batch will be available soon, and the price will be much cheaper. You can wait."

Li Ye planned to send a signal to Ke Qing: those who bought the first batch of phones were being ripped off; the price-performance ratio was too low. If she wanted to become a scalper, she was likely to be disappointed by those who waited.

However, Li Ye never imagined that he was the one who had personally discussed the phone's marketing strategy with Ke Qing. Therefore, Ke Qing was very clear that the first batch of phones would only continue to appreciate in value, and there was no possibility that they wouldn't sell.

So Keqing decisively refused, saying, "There's no need for a second batch, the first batch of phones is fine. I also hope to take this opportunity to sponsor Mr. Li as a token of my appreciation."

"I'll send someone to deliver ten Mora phones later. Just deliver them whenever Mr. Li orders them out."

Ha! It's blatant robbery, and you're making it sound so high-sounding!

Okay, then ten units it is. After all, I was planning to pay for them.

Li Ye decided to make a note of this debt for now, just like he did with Ningguang, and wait for the opportunity to get revenge: "Since Miss Keqing has said so, then I will respectfully comply."

Keqing was overjoyed to finally receive the promise.

She calculated that once this deal was completed, she probably wouldn't have to worry about money for the next few years.

Wow, is doing business really that profitable?

It's no wonder that Li Ye's words were always laced with barbs when he mentioned Liyue merchants.

These guys took so much money, but did nothing for the people. They really deserve a good beating.

It seems there are two purposes tonight: one is to tease Li Ye, and the other is...?

I can't quite remember, oh well, it's not necessary...

Having achieved her goal, Keqing left like a victorious general.

As soon as Ke Qing left, Bai Xiao came over immediately.

Li Ye didn't even need Bai Xiao to speak; he immediately took the initiative and said, "Ten units!"

So Bai Xiao went back and reported back to Miss Ning Guang with satisfaction.

Before long, in addition to the representative of Tian Shu Star, the other four representatives of the Seven Stars also arrived one after another.

Unlike Ke Qing, these four people were extremely humble in both their attitude and tone, and even tried to appeal to Li Ye's personal feelings.

It's understandable when you think about it. First of all, Keqing came in person, and these people were just representatives of the Seven Stars.

Besides, Ke Qing and Li Ye are too familiar with each other, at least from her perspective. Considering that she has a stake in the phone, she naturally has a legitimate reason to ask for it.

After being extorted by Yuheng Star, seeing the kind attitude of the Seven Stars representatives, Li Ye was so moved that he burst into tears, and almost wanted to perform a heartfelt act of gratitude on the spot.

As a result, forty more Mora phones were pre-ordered.

The Seven Stars' amiable attitude doesn't mean Li Ye can bargain, especially after agreeing to Ke Qing and Ning Guang's requests. In such matters, one must treat everyone equally.

Just like at the beginning of the banquet, all the Liyue Septs, regardless of their wealth or age, donated one million Mora to the "Charity Foundation".
