Chapter 209: Cultivation Daily

"But Chairman, even though Yuan Zheng is dead, is it really necessary for us to merge into the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce?"

Another executive asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Cai Zhengkun merely shook his head slightly.

"You don't understand this point. You should have investigated the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce recently, so you naturally know how terrifyingly magnificent the future outlined by the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce is. The Upper Realm of the future will surely belong to the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce. Merging our Earth Dragon Commerce into the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce now is the most correct choice."

"But, if we really follow your method, Chairman, we will likely have to face the powerhouses of the entire Upper Realm. It's possible that even Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses might not be able to resist taking action. Can we really hold our ground?"

"You don't understand this point either. We are not the ones in charge of the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce; we are just employees. If we really provoke the powerhouses of the entire Upper Realm, that will be Chairman Wu's problem. We only need to be responsible for execution. Moreover, even if the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce is wiped out, we can still protect ourselves. After all, our cultivation is low; no one will care about ants like us."

Hearing Cai Zhengkun's words, the executives present all looked as if they had suddenly realized something, exclaiming that the Chairman was brilliant.

Facing such praise, Cai Zhengkun nodded with satisfaction.

"In short, this is a huge gamble. If the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce can truly become the largest chamber of commerce in the Upper Realm, then we can be considered veteran-level figures. How bad could our treatment be then?"

"So, go contact the Cultivation Daily and spread the news that the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce is looking for partners."

The Cultivation Daily is the largest newspaper in the entire Upper Realm. It can be said that they know everything about every region clearly. Of course, unless it is an extremely major event, such as something concerning an Immortal Emperor, the Cultivation Daily will only publish events from the current region.

However, as long as you throw money at it, you can still publish the news you want to spread in the Cultivation Daily.

But just at this moment, another executive from Earth Dragon Commerce raised a new question.

"But Chairman, what if the chambers of commerce in other regions are unwilling to cooperate with our Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce?"

"Good question. Then we will have no choice but to establish a Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce in every single region, giving them absolutely no way out."

When Cai Zhengkun said this, his face was full of coldness. He was able to go from being a nobody to where he is now entirely because of his ruthlessness.

"Yes!"

Soon, Cai Zhengkun, having prepared everything, set off for the Southern Region Huangyuan Region branch of the Cultivation Daily. After announcing his identity, he quickly contacted the branch manager.

"Chairman Cai, are you saying you want to publish the news that the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce wants to find partners in every region of the Upper Realm?"

Shi Hao, the manager of the Huangyuan Region Cultivation Daily branch, had an expression of disbelief upon hearing Cai Zhengkun's words.

Upon hearing this, Cai Zhengkun nodded slightly.

"Correct."

"Wait, let me process this first."

This left Shi Hao somewhat unable to comprehend it. After a long while, he finally understood and looked at Cai Zhengkun, saying.

"So, you're saying that your Earth Dragon Commerce has merged into the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce?"

"Mm."

Seeing Cai Zhengkun's calm and indifferent demeanor, Shi Hao was a bit confused. After all, the Earth Dragon Commerce was previously the largest chamber of commerce in the Huangyuan Region, and as the Chairman, Cai Zhengkun naturally had an extremely good relationship with Shi Hao.

Therefore, Shi Hao naturally knew that the master behind Earth Dragon Commerce was Yuan Zheng.

Guessing Shi Hao's thoughts, Cai Zhengkun said softly.

"You don't need to worry about that. Yuan Zheng is already dead; it was the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce that did it."

Hearing this, Shi Hao was stunned for a moment, then patted Cai Zhengkun on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Congratulations on avenging your great grudge, Brother Cai."

As a close friend, Shi Hao naturally knew some of Cai Zhengkun's affairs.

Hearing this, Cai Zhengkun didn't show any expression. Before he got his revenge, he had been desperate for it, but after achieving it, he found it seemed to be nothing special.

Shi Hao quickly said with a grave expression.

"Brother Cai, I know you should be able to guess that if this news is spread, it will likely cause a huge upheaval throughout the entire Upper Realm. At that time, there will likely be no lack of Immortal Venerable or even Immortal Emperor powerhouses who will take action against the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce. Are you sure the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce can really hold its ground?"

Cai Zhengkun shook his head slightly.

"This is a huge gamble, my friend. If the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce can take off and withstand everyone in the Upper Realm, then as a veteran of the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce, I will also receive many benefits."

"If it fails, it won't be much of a loss for me. After all, I am not the master of the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce. Even if they want to find someone, they can only go find the master of the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce."

Hearing this, Shi Hao was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, as expected of Brother Cai. Since you have thought it through so thoroughly, it would be ungrateful of me to try to stop you. But I must say this in advance: although we have a very good relationship, you know that publishing news that can be seen by the entire Upper Realm in the Cultivation Daily requires a significant amount of resources."

By the end, Shi Hao's tone had become increasingly serious. If one wanted to publish news that could be seen by the entire Upper Realm, the Immortal Crystals required would likely be more than Earth Dragon Commerce could afford.

But Cai Zhengkun just waved his hand, then took out a Storage Ring and said.

"I naturally know the rules. Chairman Wu has already given me the Immortal Crystals. Here are one million Top-grade Immortal Crystals; that should be enough to publish the headline for ten days, right?"

The Cultivation Daily has ten regions where news that can be seen by the entire Upper Realm can be published. Among them, prices vary according to the prominence of the message. The most expensive headline region costs a full one hundred thousand Top-grade Immortal Crystals per day to publish a message, an amount that even Immortal Venerables find difficult to bear.

If it weren't for Wu Hao being wealthy, it might not necessarily be able to withstand Wu Rulong spending like this.

Hearing Cai Zhengkun's words, Shi Hao couldn't help but gasp.

"To be able to casually take out one million Top-grade Immortal Crystals, it seems this Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce is no ordinary force. You've really latched onto a big shot, Brother Cai. If it takes off in the future, don't forget me."

"Rest assured, Brother Shi. I will not forget your kindness in recognizing my talent. If I can help you, I will definitely help you."

Cai Zhengkun smiled and said in an extremely serious tone.

"Alright, I have noted the matter down. It is estimated that it can be published for you in three days at the earliest. You should go back first."

"Mm."

Watching Cai Zhengkun turn and leave, Shi Hao stared at his departing back, his expression extremely grave, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

But after a long while, he shook his head, turned around, and reported the matter up. After all, only an idiot would refuse to make money.

However, Shi Hao could also guess that if this news were published, the entire Upper Realm would likely face a huge upheaval because of it.
