Celestial Master： I Have an Otherworld-Chapter 160 - 63: Three Blood (Part 2)

"I've always heard that the boss of Square Porcelain is quite mysterious, very few have seen his true face. I wonder if we will have the chance to meet him."

"I'm sorry." Wen Lei showed apologetic expression and shook her head:

"The Chairman is busy with matters, he probably won't have time recently."

"That's truly a pity."

The journalist sighed lightly.

The boss of Square Porcelain is considered a legendary figure, who in just half a year, turned Thunder Walking Red Porcelain into a top luxury item among porcelain.

Currently,

besides Qu City, he has opened specialty stores in Hai Province and Kyoto, it's said the stores were bought outright, truly extravagant.

If one could meet him, it would definitely be a talking point in the future.

...…

Half a month later.

"Mingyi Platform made this promotional film for us."

Wenchang Mansion.

Wen Lei handed over a tablet, showing a three-minute video where each frame could be used as desktop wallpaper.

"If you have no objections, it can officially go online next month."

After watching it once, Fang Zheng nodded slightly:

"Not bad!"

"No wonder they dared ask for a price of twenty million, they actually have some skills."

"Mm." Wen Lei was also satisfied with the quality of the video, especially her own image within it, showcasing a calm and fashionable elite demeanor:

"Then I'll reply to them."

"You may reply." Fang Zheng gestured with his hand, casually asking:

"How is the company's current operating status?"

"Very good." Hearing this, Wen Lei perked up and said: 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Last month, our sales increased by thirteen percent, reaching over 32 million. However, spending was also high..."

"Net profit was only slightly over 3 million."

Fang Zheng wasn't surprised by this.

Square Porcelain's sales volume was substantial, but the expenses were even larger, with marketing being the major component, like this promotional film costing as much as twenty million.

Indeed.

The twenty million wasn't just for filming the video, it also included promotional cooperation from the Celestial Art Platform, and interactions from its artists.

Plus, fees for promotion from major influencers, employee salaries, social insurance, the cost of firing ceramics, the fact that there's surplus is already fortunate.

After all, this is the startup phase, the time to burn money.

Most companies don't have the financial capacity to burn money like this.

"Currently, the porcelain sales company has over twenty million on the books, the asset management company has more than ten million, the jade business has over sixty-four million..."

Wen Lei pursed her lips, looking over with complex eyes:

"Chairman Fang, you can now be considered a billionaire."

Ordinary billionaires would struggle to have so much accessible funds, while the over hundred million Fang Zheng has in cash is staggering.

This doesn't even include the property value.

A mere half year.

She watched as Square Porcelain transformed from an inconspicuous small company into such a powerful capital, everything feels like a dream.

Classmates, and even students from the same grade or school, may never achieve such success in their lifetime.

Compared to Wen Lei's amazement and disbelief, Fang Zheng was relatively calm.

After all, he is backed by another world.

A hundred million?

If he wished, with the channels he's established in the Otherworld, he could bring tons of gold within days.

Money,

to him it's just a number.

Social status requires not only wealth but also corresponding influence; without it, having wealth is like a child carrying gold in a busy market.

It might attract danger instead!

"Understood."

Closing his eyes, Fang Zheng gestured gently:

"Please do kindly close the door on your way out, I'd like to rest for a while."

"Of course."

Wen Lei nodded and slowly retreated.

After she left, Fang Zheng slowly opened his eyes again, took out a necklace from his pocket, showing a thoughtful expression.

The necklace came from Zheng Kuo.

The middle piece of the Jade Token concealed an encrypted memory card, and today he finally has the chance to see its contents, wondering what it will reveal.

Otherworld.

A heavy snowfall descended last night, leaving a thick layer on the ground this morning, the carriage wheels pressed on it, emitting a rhythmic 'creak creak' sound.

The carriage stopped at Riverside Pavilion.

Fang Zheng lifted the carriage curtain and alighted, looking at the three-story tavern that opened half a year ago, pondering briefly before stepping inside.

"Shopkeeper Fang!"

"Young Master Fang."

"..."

Upon his entrance, several people immediately rose to welcome him, and the Household Department's Mr. Han grinned widely, revealing his yellowish teeth.

Back in the day.

Fang Zheng had to work hard to give them gifts, and they were indifferent, even the residency registration here was handled by Mr. Han.

But now their attitudes have completely changed.

Their enthusiasm naturally stems from the success of Square Porcelain's business, and the dividends they receive have never been missed.

Originally agreeing on an annual dividend of no less than fifty taels, ...

Recently each received over a hundred taels!

And,

it's foreseeable.

Unless the annual revenue is poor, there will be even more in the future.

To know.

A clerk in the County Government Office earns only dozens of taels a year, and that includes various welfare benefits, over a hundred taels is already a significant amount.

No wonder they are so enthusiastic.

"Mr. Han!"

"Brother Qi."

"Chief Luo."

Fang Zheng cupped his hands in reply, humbly sat down:

"I'm not late, am I?"

"No, no." Chief Luo smiled and waved his hand:

"Young Master Fang arrived just in time, Lord County Magistrate and the others haven't arrived yet. Let's chat while we wait for them."

"Speaking of which..." Fang Zheng nodded:

"What's the reason for Lord Yan inviting us today?"

The former County Magistrate had been elevated for his good work in eliminating bandits, long gone to another place with a higher position, and Lord Yan naturally succeeded to the County Magistrate's position.

Today, Lord Yan is hosting a banquet.

The guests were all wealthy citizens and powerful merchants in the city, naturally Fang Zheng was among them, and the scene was bustling with familiar faces.
