Jiang Wenbo's last letter from Linghe made Li Yao jump up. [800][ads: This site has changed to a new URL, shorthand method:,]
"What, the Shanhai School is about to be annexed?"
He couldn't bear it anymore, and contacted Jiang Wenbo through Linghe's letter.
Appearing in the light curtain were two slightly depressed faces. Jiang Wenbo and Guan Xiong were discussing sectarian affairs together.
"Mr. Jiang, Brother Xiong, what's going on?"
"In Sanyan Kuai Treasure Magazine, the comments on "Flying Sword and War Armor" are fairly fair, but the evaluations on "Magic Treasure World" and "The Home of the Artifact Refiner" are completely beyond the normal range, and there are so many other forums. The bad reviews are very unreasonable!"
"You also said in the letter that many dealers have suspended cooperation, which is unreasonable!"
"The Monster Beast Detector has only been on the market for a month, and no major quality problems have been found. Even if the sales are not good for a while, it's not enough to stop the cooperation immediately, right?"
"Now, you say that the Shanhai Sect may be absorbed by other sects. What happened?"
Li Yao went straight to the point, asking questions like a cannonball.
Jiang Wenbo and Guan Xiong looked at each other, sighed, and said:
"Li Yao, you guessed it right, we were attacked by a powerful sniper, and the monster detector was targeted even before it was launched."
"There must be something wrong with the evaluation articles in the Sanyan Pants AI Bao magazine; the bad reviews on the major forums are also caused by someone behind the scenes; and we know privately that many dealers are also pressured to suspend cooperation."
"Those aren't big problems, though."
"The monster detector is indeed a very good magic weapon. According to our return visits to real customers, most of them are very satisfied, and they show that they want to recommend it to friends. As long as we persist, relying on word of mouth, sales It will get better and better."
"But right now, the big question is"
Jiang Wenbo pondered for a moment, then laughed at himself and said. "Forget it, it's okay to tell you. Anyway, it's been rumored in the cultivation world. The Shanhai faction's capital chain is about to be broken!"
"what!"
Li Yao was shocked.
The financial situation of a sect is the top secret among the top secrets. Once the financial chain is broken, once it is made public, it will definitely cause a chain reaction. Defeat the sect directly!
Jiang Wenbo's ability to tell himself this matter meant that the news had already been spread and it became a well-known secret.
Jiang Wenbo gave a wry smile and said:
"Just a few evaluation articles in magazines can't deal a fatal blow to us; even if many dealers stop cooperation, there are still many old brothers who have cooperated with us for decades to support us, and we can still use the way of online sales."
"But now, there is a problem with the crystal eye supplier."
"After the crystal eye suppliers we cooperated with provided the first batch of crystal eyes, they kept pushing back and forth for various reasons. The delivery was delayed, but in the communication, they patted their chests and assured that there would be no problem, just because Objective reasons such as the supply of raw materials had to be delayed, and they will definitely deliver the goods before the deadline and compensate for related losses.”
"This Jingyan supplier has been cooperating for many years, and they have considerable trust in each other, so we believe it."
"In the absence of Jingyan, tens of thousands of semi-finished monster detectors were refined, and even pre-sold."
"As a result, it was postponed three times. In the end, the Jingyan supplier tore up the contract. The cooperation was terminated!"
"In this way, all our pre-sales will be withdrawn. In addition to double refunding the customer's pre-sale money, it will also have a certain impact on word-of-mouth."
"More importantly, there are more than 10,000 semi-finished monster detectors. All of them are refined according to the specifications of the crystal eyes provided by this supplier. It is difficult to replace the crystal eyes of another sect."
Li Yao nodded.
As a refiner, he is very clear that the crystal eyes refined by different sects have great differences in specifications, and if the size differs by one millimeter, it is impossible to use them in common.
But there's one more thing he doesn't understand:
"Ms. Jiang, when you signed the contract with this Jingyan supplier, there should be a breach of contract clause, right? And the penalty for breach of contract should be more than your losses?"
Jiang Wenbo said:
"Li Yao, you are not a managerial cultivator, so naturally you don't understand the reason behind it."
"Yes, there is indeed a breach of contract clause, but now that people turn their faces and refuse to recognize anyone, they can only solve it through legal channels! After a year or two of lawsuits, we will definitely win the case in the end, but it is also a matter of getting the liquidated damages in our hands. Two years, or even three to five years later!"
Li Yao thought for a while, and said in doubt:
"But if you do this, what good will the other party gain? Money, goodwill, all of them have suffered heavy losses! You are looking for death, and you have to drag the Shanhai faction to be buried with you!"
Jiang Wenbo shook his head:
"You are wrong. The Shanhai faction will die before it. We will have two loans due next month. Because of this matter, we have lost a lot of money and have not paid at all."
"What's even more weird is that the Shanhai faction's financial situation was leaked somehow. Now that the entire comprehension world knows that the Shanhai faction's capital chain is about to break, who else is willing to lend us money?"
Li Yao frowned, and after a while, asked:
"Mr. Jiang, can you tell me, how much is the current funding gap of the Shanhai School?"
Jiang Wenbo was stunned for a moment, and Guan Xiong, who had been standing beside him with a sullen face, said:
"Now that things have happened, what else can we say? The outside world has even obtained our financial statements! Besides, the monster detector is a joint project between us and Li Yao, and Li Yao is also a partner, so he should know about our situation. "
"Right now, our entire faction is trying to figure out a way to find out all the connections. By next month, it is estimated that there will still be a funding gap of 300 to 500 million yuan. If it is not resolved, the funding chain will be broken, and the Shanhai faction will be over!"
Li Yao nodded thoughtfully
Three to five billion, doesn't sound like much for a cultivating sect.
But the actual situation is not so simple.
What is a capital chain? That's one link after another!
Shanhai Pai has been in poor management for the past few years and is heavily in debt.
In order to launch the monster detector project, they borrowed a lot of money from banks and various sects, and the foreign debt is estimated to be several billion.
All creditors are paying attention to the sales of the Monster Beast Detector and the financial status of the Shanhai School.
If the Monster Beast Detector becomes a hit and the sales volume is astonishing, the banks and major sects will naturally not rush to recover the debts, and maybe they will make additional loans to earn huge interest.
Now. The sales of the monster detectors are weak, and the capital chain of the Shanhai School is broken. If the money is not paid, it will definitely cause a chain reaction. All banks and sects will not agree to the extension of the loan, and the Shanhai faction must pay back the money immediately.
The Shanhai School will be destroyed in one fell swoop!
Li Yao vaguely felt that the whole thing was an interlocking trap from beginning to end.
"This matter. There must be someone behind it. I don't know if you know who is targeting the Shanhai faction and our monster detector?"
Li Yao asked coldly, with a dangerous light in his eyes.
Before Jiang Wenbo could speak, Guan Xiong gritted his teeth and said:
"I don't have conclusive evidence, but ten days ago, the Feilingzong released news that they were going to buy the Shanhai School. Let us become the Feilingzong Shanhaitang!"
"Flying Spirit Sect!"
Li Yao immediately remembered that when he had just applied for the patent of the monster detector, Fei Lingzong had contacted him and wanted to buy out the patent at a very low price, but he rejected it.
Jiang Wenbo said:
"The Flying Spirit Sect is a traditional high-precision magic weapon refining giant. In recent years, it has been transforming into the direction of detection magic weapons. Especially this year, it has spent a lot of money and launched a series of detection magic weapons. The advertising fee alone is astronomical. .”
"However, the Flying Spirit Sect started out by refining watches. Their detection magic weapons are all worn on the wrists."
"I also bought a few to study. In terms of craftsmanship and precision, they are indeed much better than our monster detectors."
"But in actual combat, I'm still more optimistic about the monster detector."
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and said:
"That is to say, if the monster detector is really popular, it is very likely to seize the market of the Feilingzong's detection magic weapon, causing the Feilingzong to suffer heavy losses?"
"Yes!"
Jiang Wenbo said, "Moreover, the series of competition methods aimed at us are very similar to the style of 'Shark'."
Li Yao was taken aback: "Who is the shark?"
"The Young Patriarch of the Feiling Sect, Qiu Guanyu, is a genius managerial cultivator. He is only 29 years old this year. He has already led many merger and acquisition projects and helped the Feiling Sect annex many small and medium sects."
Jiang Wenbo said, "Qiu Guanyu's methods are sharp and his style is ruthless. He is known for his heart of iron and blood, and he is famous for killing people without blood. Accept the conditions obediently, and be swallowed by the Fei Lingzong!"
"In the seven years since his debut, he has used this method to annex eleven small and medium-sized sects, and one or two sects become his victims every year. Therefore, in the cultivation world, Qiu Guanyu is called a 'shark'!"
"I see, I see."
Li Yao was thoughtful, and then asked, "Mr. Jiang, Brother Xiong, what do you think about mergers and acquisitions within the Shanhai School?"
"Of course we don't want to!"
Guan Xiong shouted, "If the Feiling Sect was willing to buy us when the Shanhai Sect had nowhere to go a few months ago, maybe the big guy would have agreed as soon as he gritted his teeth!"
"But now, we have such a good product as the Monster Beast Detector, and when we were about to let it go, this shark used despicable means to trick us, and wanted to swallow us in one bite? Whoever wants to go, I will definitely not go, thinking that one day I will call this shark the 'Suzerain', my lungs will explode!"
"Anyway, if the Shanhai school is really acquired, I will slap my ass and leave, and forget it as a casual cultivator!"
Jiang Wenbo said:
"Among the Shanhai faction, not many people are willing to be acquired, but what can we do now?"
Li Yao was silent for a moment, then said:
"In short, before next month, we can get through the difficulties temporarily by collecting three to five billion yuan, right?"
Jiang Wenbo nodded, then widened his eyes, and lost his voice:
"Li Yao, what do you want to do?"
Li Yao said word by word:
"I want to fight Fei Lingzong and this shark."
Jiang Wenbo said anxiously:
"You don't know anything about business wars, and you are by no means an opponent of sharks. Even if the temporary funding problem is solved, as long as the sales of monster detectors cannot increase, there will still be a big gap in subsequent funds. This is a bottomless pit. Jump! Besides, everything is just our speculation, there is no conclusive evidence at all, proving that the Flying Spirit Sect is behind the scenes!"
"As for the funding problem, let's think of a solution slowly. Anyway, as long as Brother Xiong and Teacher Jiang, you Shanhai faction can work together and stick to it until the last moment! As for the evidence"
Li Yao smiled, showing his sharp teeth, "Do you think I, Li Yao the Vulture, look like the kind of person who needs solid evidence before launching a counterattack?" (.)xh118
