Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Could He Be a Junior Grandmaster_1
On the western side of Zhonghai, there is a place called Wild Wolf Mountain.
Atop Wild Wolf Mountain lies the Wolf King Cave, to which Lu Zhengxiong hurried off to in the dead of night.
For he was seeking his master, Wu Shilong.
The Wolf King Cave was pitch-dark, with tiny crimson specks floating in mid-air, casting a sinister glow.
They were the eyes of the Ghostly Wolf, also known as the eyes of death!
If a living person had entered, they would have already perished at the jaws of the Ghostly Wolves.
Lu Zhengxiong was Wu Shilong’s disciple, and the Ghostly Wolves recognized him, so they merely howled softly instead of attacking him.
At the end of the Wolf King Cave, there was a natural skylight.
The clear moonlight poured down from the heavens onto a figure with the body of a wolf and the head of a human.
That was Wu Shilong.
Upon seeing Wu Shilong, Lu Zhengxiong immediately dropped to his knees with a thud.
"Master, you must seek justice for me!"
This sudden act bewildered Wu Shilong.
After glancing at the bruises on Lu Zhengxiong’s face, Wu Shilong concluded that his disciple must have been beaten by someone.
"Did Ding Zhiming beat you?" Wu Shilong asked.
In Zhonghai, except for Ding Zhiming, Wu Shilong could not think of a second person capable of overpowering Lu Zhengxiong.
That’s why he asked the question.
"It wasn’t Ding Zhiming, it was a youngster in his twenties."
"A youngster in his twenties beat you up? Could he be a Junior Grandmaster?"
"Not only is he a Junior Grandmaster, but his strength is probably no less than Ding Zhiming’s. The youngster’s name is Qin Feng, and he took away all my Ghostly Wolf Souls. He also arrogantly said that even if you, Master, were to come, he would surely beat the shit out of you. He claimed he’d beat you until you knelt down and begged for mercy, calling him daddy!"
"Arrogant!"
"I also said he was arrogant. But he said he had the strength to be arrogant."
"Your master is currently in seclusion, wait one more month. When I emerge, I’ll go take care of that brazen Qin Feng! A youngster in his twenties with strength that can match Ding Zhiming—this boy must indeed be a martial arts prodigy. Absorbing his blood will definitely allow my Ghostly Wolf Divine Skill to break through to the ninth level!"
"Your disciple congratulates Master in advance!"
"Roll out! Don’t disturb my training!"
...
A week’s time quickly passed.
With overwhelming advertising campaigns, coupled with Angelina’s twelve-hour live streaming sessions every day.
The Youth-Keeping Cream not only snatched away the entire market from Huanmei Beauty Cream but also took over the markets of other niche brands.
According to authoritative organizations, in just one week, the market share of Youth-Keeping Cream soared from 0% to 79%.
This achievement was several times more impressive than that of the Huanmei Group when it first burst onto the scene.
You see, when Huanmei Group launched their first product, it took half a year to achieve a 15% market occupancy rate.
In only one week, Tianlong Group had managed to raise the market share of Youth-Keeping Cream to 79%.
The explosion in popularity of Youth-Keeping Cream led the companies that were originally in cooperation with Huanmei Group to terminate their partnerships and switch allegiances to Tianlong Group.
In just one week, with only one product launched, Tianlong Group dethroned Huanmei Group, becoming the top beauty brand in the country.
After leaving Yoshida Hospital from her prenatal checkup, Yin Zhenxiang was so happy she could barely contain herself.
She was carrying a son in her belly!
The Youth-Keeping Cream was selling even better than expected, and Tianlong Group was now at the height of its glory.
With double happiness upon her, she went to Kuoyang Shangmao with a face full of smug satisfaction.
All of Huanmei Group’s partners had now thrown their lot in with Tianlong Group.
The only one left who couldn’t read the room was Liu Haitao from Kuoyang Shangmao!
Today, she was determined to go and humiliate that guy thoroughly.
She was curious to see just how pathetic Liu Haitao was now, unable to sell even a single bottle of their product.
Kuoyang Shangmao.
Liu Haitao was busy in his office, arranging work for various channels, getting ready for a big push.
Qin Feng had already informed him that the press conference for the Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream would begin in half an hour.
At that time, the brand ambassador for Shencao Ji would make a dazzling appearance.
As for who the ambassador was, Qin Feng was still keeping it a secret from him, not having revealed it yet.
Suddenly, the sound of high heels echoed from the entrance.
Liu Haitao looked up to see Yin Zhenxiang walking in.
"President Yin, what brings you here today?"
"I’ve come to see if you, Mr. Liu, are all frantic and flustered."
"Thanks for your concern, President Yin, but I’m quite busy! I’m currently preparing for the sales of a new product. There’s a press conference starting in half an hour, so I really don’t have the time to chitchat with you."
"A product launch? Huanmei Group is about to go bankrupt, and you still have a new product to launch?"
"It’s not Huanmei Group, it’s Shencao Ji."
Liu Haitao pointed to the Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream on the table and said, "President Yin, your skin doesn’t look too good. Why don’t you buy a bottle and try it out?"
"Shencao Ji?"
Yin Zhenxiang picked up a bottle of the Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream and glanced at it briefly. And then, she laughed.
"Now I remember. When Xue Xiaochan of Haiyun Group first came to Zhonghai, she started Shencao Ji. Because she lacked the support of the Xue Family, the company soon went bankrupt.
I heard that now, because Xue Xiaochan didn’t follow her family’s arrangements and refused to go back to the Capital to marry Jian Shichao, the Xue Family took back control of Haiyun Group. Now, she bears only the name of Miss Xue and none of the substance of being a true heiress of the Xue Family.
Her restarting Shencao Ji is nothing more than a hobby. Mr. Liu, with your years of experience in the business world, you can’t be foolish enough to bet on Xue Xiaochan, can you? With a name as unsophisticated as Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream, how many bottles do you think you can sell?"
"I don’t know how many bottles we can sell, but it’ll certainly outsell your Youth-Keeping Cream."
"You’re quite a gas bag, Mr. Liu, to think you could outsell our Youth-Keeping Cream? Where did you get that confidence from? Do you think cosmetics are like cabbages in a vegetable market, the cheaper they sell, the higher the volume? From the looks of the packaging of your Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream, it lacks class. How much can you sell a bottle for? Surely it’s not just two or three hundred yuan or, what, tens of yuan? 99 yuan, buy one get two free?"
"Our Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream is priced at 9998 yuan per bottle."
As soon as Liu Haitao announced this price, it shocked Yin Zhenxiang. She then burst into uproarious laughter, laughing so hard she almost hurt the baby.
"What did you say? You want to sell that piece of junk for 9998 yuan? Priced higher than our Youth-Keeping Cream? Do you take consumers for fools? I bet you couldn’t sell a single bottle for even 98 yuan."
"Your Youth-Keeping Cream doesn’t even deserve to carry our Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream. The press conference is about to start, and the brand ambassador we’ve hired for our Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream is leagues above that little internet celebrity of your Youth-Keeping Cream, you know?"
Although Qin Feng had not revealed the identity of the ambassador, Liu Haitao had his suspicions.
Because his spies had seen Qin Feng walk into the press conference venue with Ouyang Bingbing.
