Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 734 - : Making a Fortune

Chapter 734: Chapter 734: Making a Fortune

Although the refrigerator had been made in a short amount of time, there was no negligence in the details.

In order to reduce operating costs, Wang Chen had specifically enhanced its insulation effect. The inside of the box was filled with compacted cotton wadding. Once the built-in Frost Artifact was activated, it could maintain a frozen state for a long time.

Wang Chen had tested it, and a single Spirit Stone could normally last for nearly one and a half days.

One day was just a conservative estimate.

Unfortunately, with his current technology, it was difficult to achieve the automatic variable frequency function of a “compressor”.

Otherwise, a single Spirit Stone could last two or three days without any problems!

...

With Wang Chen’s personal guarantee, the visitor finally made up their mind and asked, “Can the price be cheaper?”

“Uncle, the price really can’t be any cheaper,”

This time, Su Ziling was the one to answer, “But if you can bring two fellow cultivators over, and three of you group purchase, we’ll each give you consumables worth fifty Spirit Stones.”

What were the consumables? Spirit Stones!

In plain terms, that was a ten percent discount for a group purchase of three.

Hearing this, the other party was even more tempted and turned around to ask the neighbors who had gathered to watch the commotion, “Anyone wants to join me in a group purchase for this refrigerator?”

Su Ziling quickly added, “The consumable giveaway for group purchases is only for today. There won’t be any tomorrow.”

“Additionally, if you form a group now, we’ll throw in ice pop materials worth ten Spirit Stones!”

What was there to hesitate about!

Someone immediately stood out, “Me, I’ll join your group purchase!”

Not just one person.

The group was quickly formed and joyfully carried away three refrigerators.

With them as an example, more and more people started to form groups on site, even leading to a buying frenzy.

The reason for such a phenomenon wasn’t just the affordable price and low operating costs of the refrigerator but most importantly, the recent bestselling status and popularity of ice pops.

The ice pops were considered a “trending” product in the Immortal City of Thousand Star. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people following the trend, even opening shops right at the doorstep of the inventor, Wang Chen.

Su Ziling would sell a few units and then take out the same number of new ones from her Storage Bag.

Wang Chen had given her a large-capacity Storage Bag before, which came in quite handy today.

As the refrigerators were selling like hotcakes, among the crowd of onlookers, a slim cultivator quietly left.

He swiftly made his way through the bustling streets and entered a shop called “Zhang’s Ice Cream Shop” at the corner.

“Boss, about that Beech Grocery Store…”

The cultivator bypassed the counter and went straight into the back room, then reported everything he had seen and heard to a middle-aged cultivator sitting inside.

After listening, the middle-aged cultivator frowned and said, “A refrigerator for making ice pops? Go buy one for me immediately!”

“Yes.”

The slim cultivator hurried back to Wang Chen’s shop and participated in a group purchase for a refrigerator.

Then he returned as quickly as possible to deliver it to the middle-aged cultivator.

The man was the shopkeeper of Zhang’s Ice Cream Shop.

The shopkeeper Zhang carefully examined the newly purchased refrigerator and immediately activated the built-in Frost Artifact.

Along with the materials given away with the refrigerator, he quickly made a box of ice pops that were frozen solid.

The cooling effect and speed of this artifact refrigerator were much stronger than the prototype from Wang Chen’s previous life.

Shopkeeper Zhang tasted an ice pop and his expression turned very ugly.

As shrewd as he was, he had already figured out that if every household bought one of these refrigerators, who would buy his shop’s ice pops?

Homemade ice pops were not only convenient but also cheaper.

Wang Chen was clearly undercutting him at the root!

Shopkeeper Zhang was filled with deep resentment.

He opened this ice cream shop using his own capital, hoping to make quick money from the current craze for ice cream.

But to his surprise, just ten days after opening, someone managed to undercut him!

In fact, Zhang, the shopkeeper, was well aware that the shop owned by the inventor of the ice cream was very close to his own.

But when it comes to business, everyone has their own tricks, and he wasn’t afraid that Wang Chen would come knocking on his door to make a complaint.

Wang Chen never did come, and even as his ice cream business was being squeezed out, Zhang, the shopkeeper, was secretly pleased with himself, thinking he had taught the novice a lesson.

As it turned out, he was the one who had learned a lesson!

Zhang, the shopkeeper, gritted his teeth and said to the skinny cultivator, “Take this thing back to the workshop at home and show it to the craftsmen, have them come up with a similar refrigerator as soon as possible!”

“No!”

He immediately changed his mind, “I’ll go myself!”

In fact, once Wang Chen’s refrigerators had sold their first batch, shopkeepers of other ice cream stores, having received the news, all had the same idea as Zhang—the idea to imitate and copy!

And Wang Chen was well aware of this, knowing that he had little time left.

As a result, over the next few days, he increased his promotional efforts. Although he no longer gave away “consumables,” the raw materials for making ice cream were generously distributed, not costing a Spirit Stone.

Not only that, Wang Chen also had a batch of advertising flyers printed and hired the kids from the neighbors to distribute them everywhere.

By the time replica refrigerators of the same model appeared on the market, Wang Chen had already sold seventy percent of his stock.

When others flooded the market with their products, he cleared his stock and withdrew!

“Master, we’ve made this much!”

In the Beech Grocery Store, which had just closed its doors, Wang Chen and Su Ziling were counting the accounts together, with the latter excitedly waving her five fingers in front of Wang Chen.

Wang Chen smiled and said, “Very good.”

The average cost of materials for a refrigerator was around two hundred Spirit Stones, and he sold them for five hundred each. Even after accounting for promotional discounts, the profit was still over two hundred.

Five thousand refrigerators had brought Wang Chen over a million Low Spirit in profit!

The purchasing power in Immortal City was undoubtedly very strong, and in fact, Wang Chen had only captured a very small part of the market.

As a sole operator, that’s all he could earn.

Nevertheless, Wang Chen was very satisfied, and he was planning to launch a new product.

At this rate of making money, it wouldn’t take long to gather enough Spirit Stones to buy the last two Condensing Core Treasures.

Clap, clap, clap!

Just as Wang Chen was pondering his plans, someone suddenly knocked heavily on the shop door.

Who is it?

Wang Chen frowned, held back Su Ziling, who was about to get up, and then went to open the shop door himself.

He saw three people standing at the door, with an old cultivator with a goatee and a wrinkled face in the center, flanked by two burly brutes who emitted a threatening aura.

The old cultivator bowed first, “Is this Wang Chen, the shopkeeper himself?”

Wang Chen, not knowing what to expect, returned the bow, “That is me. May I ask what brings you here?”

The other side smiled, “May I come in to talk?”

Wang Chen pondered for a moment, then stepped aside, “Please come in.”

He instructed Su Ziling to put away the account book and then go to the back to boil water and make tea.

He then invited the visitor to sit down.

As for the other two cultivators who clearly looked like guards, Wang Chen did not bother to greet them.

Once seated, the old cultivator got straight to the point, “Shopkeeper Wang, may I ask which branch of the Wang Family do you hail from?”

The second update is delivered.
