"It's been seven or eight days, and you still haven't thought about it?"
In the capital, Yun Jiucheng is on the phone.
"Brother Cheng, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I don't have the ability..."
Li Changan's voice came from the other end of the phone, with helplessness:
"If you're talking about targeting Dawn's business, then there's nothing to say. I won't say a word against this, brother. But as for this water of purification... I really can't give it to you..."
"As the heir of the Li family, can't you produce ten drops of purifying water?"
"Brother Cheng, talking about an heir is really exaggerated. The ancestors are still alive, so how can we, the younger generation, inherit anything?"
Li Changan's voice was full of helplessness: "Alas, you don't know the situation of my Li family... I really envy you. I... Alas..."
He sighed a series of times, as if it was a family matter that should not be told to outsiders.
“…”
Yun Jiucheng's face twitched for a moment, and after a long silence, he said, "Okay, if not ten drops, how many drops can you give?"
"Brother Cheng, my brother Cheng, please don't make things difficult for me... I, I really can't afford even a penny..."
Li Changan pleaded bitterly.
“…”
"Okay, since you don't want to contribute, forget it. What happens after that has nothing to do with your Li family."
Yun Jiucheng said with a gloomy face.
"Alas, now that things have come to this, what else can I say? Alas..."
Li Changan sighed.
Yun Jiucheng hung up the phone directly, his face extremely gloomy.
The butler stood nearby, listening to the entire thing with a silent expression.
Yun Jiucheng was silent for a while, then made another call.
"Brother Cheng?"
Luo Chuan's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Luochuan, it's been eight days. Have you made a decision?"
"Brother Cheng, I was just about to call you... I just contacted the tribe, but when I heard that you wanted purified water, it was rejected..."
"…What's going on?"
"I don't know either. I asked my family to check and it seems that it was taken away by my great grandfather... I don't know what happened. But... it seems that there is nothing we can do."
Luo Chuan had a speechless tone.
“…”
Yun Jiucheng's face twitched, and his eyes became even darker: "So, you don't plan to contribute?"
"Brother Cheng, it's not that I don't help, I just have no other choice. The water of purification is all with the ancestor. How can I be so bold as to ask the ancestor for it? If I could make the decision, I wouldn't mind even giving all of it, let alone ten drops!"
Luo Chuan hurried to explain.
But Yun Jiucheng didn't want to listen anymore, so he hung up the phone.
His face became even gloomier.
After another short silence, he made the third call.
"Hey, Lin..."
He had just begun to speak, and before he finished, Lin Quan's voice rang out on the other end: "Just in time, I was just about to call you! Damn, I'm afraid the water of purification will be in vain!"
Yun Jiucheng's face twitched immediately: "What do you mean?"
"Who knows what the old man did to him? He suddenly took away all the water of purification. The ten drops I wanted had already reached Yuedu, but they were chased back! Damn! I was just planning to ask the old man what was going on. So, you can use my ten drops first. Don't worry, I'll make up for it for you as soon as I find the old man! That's it. I'll go and see what's going on!"
After Lin Quan finished speaking, he hung up the phone in a hurry, seeming very angry.
As soon as the call was hung up, the phone hit the ground with a bang and broke into pieces in an instant.
Yun Jiucheng's eyes were so gloomy that it seemed as if water was about to drip out.
After contacting three people, Li Changan said he would consider it from the beginning, but rejected it directly in the end. Lin Quan, who had agreed at the beginning, suddenly changed his mind.
How could Yun Jiucheng not know what they were thinking? "It seems like they have some doubts."
The butler said calmly.
Yun Jiucheng didn't say anything, his face was gloomy. After a long time, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
He opened his eyes again after a moment.
"As expected of the three companies' chosen spokesperson, he is not so easy to fool."
"But that's true. They don't have a very high hatred towards Dawn. Using Dawn as bait... was my mistake."
Yun Jiucheng's face was gloomy.
The butler still said nothing.
Yun Jiucheng's face was gloomy for a long time before he slowly said, "Didn't Poxiao deal with Li Changan?"
"No."
"Humph, trash."
Yun Jiucheng cursed inwardly, and after a long silence, he took a deep breath and said, "There is no other way. Let's execute the plan."
The housekeeper's expression changed, and he frowned and hesitated for a moment: "Is it really necessary?"
“They forced me to do it.”
Yun Jiucheng's expression was grim: "They are already on the boat, can they get off whenever they want? Don't say anything, I have made up my mind."
The butler was silent for a while, then bowed:
"yes."
…
…
"It seems that Yun Jiucheng does have other purposes."
Li Changan is talking on the phone with Luochuan.
"According to what you said, I pushed it directly to my grandfather."
Luochuan Road.
Li Changan nodded, then frowned and said, "But you know Yun Jiucheng's character. He will not give up until he achieves his goal. He is deliberately trying to get the three of us to join. There must be a reason..."
"Hmm...why could that be?" Luo Chuan wondered.
"I don't know, but keep watching, he will eventually reveal his thoughts."
Li Changan was very calm.
After thinking about it, Luo Chuan nodded: "Yeah."
"What did Lin Quan say?" Li Changan suddenly asked.
Speaking of this, Luo Chuan sneered: "Just what I was going to say, I used some tricks to wiretap Lin Quan's phone... This crazy Lin is really a piece of shit. He called us before to express his support, but just now he suddenly changed his mind, also using the name of his ancestor."
Li Changan was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes: "You mean you want us to join the game?"
"Obviously that's the purpose." Luo Chuan said coldly, "It's really not a joke!"
"...Forget it, let's not talk about him. This guy is fickle, and it's not the first time... But recently, you should keep a close eye on Yun Jiucheng and see what he is doing..."
Li Changan said.
Eighty percent of Daxia’s communications networks and companies are controlled by the Luo family.
In this era, if Luo Chuan wants to keep a close eye on someone...it would be difficult for the other person to hide anything from him.
"rest assured."
…
…
"Based on the intelligence we have so far...it's Li Changan, but it's not Li Changan either."
Zhang San's voice rang in Qin Jinnian's mind.
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
Qin Jinnian was stunned for a moment.
Zhang San said: "I checked Zhang Yunfeng's last call record through several of his deputies, and the result pointed to one person... and that person is called Li Changan."
"Yes."
"Where are the people?"
"Dead?"
"Dead?" Qin Jinnian raised his eyebrows.
"Yes. And he died on the day the spaceship was attacked."
"How did he die?"
"He died in the wild, killed by a monster...at least that's what the data showed."
Qin Jinnian was stunned for a while, and then he said after a long while: "In other words, from the very beginning, the other party had already planned to target Li Changan?"
"Yes, and they even hid it from Zhang Yunfeng... Because they even told Zhang Yunfeng that the person who contacted him was indeed Li Changan."
Qin Jinnian narrowed his eyes, feeling that something was a little unexpected.
Li Changan and Zhang Yunfeng, who have the same name and surname, attacked the spacecraft...
It felt like the other party was trying to stir up a fight between Po Xiao and Li Changan... or rather, between the Li family? Something was not right.
Was this aimed at Poxiao? Or was it aimed at the Li family? Or was it... were both of them his targets?
Qin Jinnian frowned.
"What now?"
Zhang San asked.
Qin Jinnian thought for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and said, "Since someone is obviously plotting something, it's better to stay still and wait and see..."
He paused for a moment and then suddenly asked, "By the way, is there any trace of the Super Martial Alliance in this matter?"
Zhang San thought for a moment and said, "If this is the only case, then there is no trace of the Super Martial Alliance."
"Is that so..."
Qin Jinnian murmured.
Yes, he still doubted the Super Martial Alliance.
But at the moment, there is no evidence, and Qin Jinnian doesn't want to be robbed, so after thinking it over, he decided not to move for the time being.
"That's it. By the way, let's open the branch in the capital first. As for the others, we'll wait and see what happens."
Qin Jinnian finally decided to put this matter aside for the time being.
Let me first talk about the expansion of Dawn.
Regardless of whether it is the Super Martial Alliance or not, there were people in the Super Martial Alliance who were targeting Dawn before, so the development of Dawn now is the best counterattack against the Super Martial Alliance.
As for the rest, we’ll talk about it later.
…
For the next period of time, Qin Jinnian lived a very leisurely life.
Every day I get out of school and come home from school. I take time out to accompany Chen Feifei to participate in the five-school league. When I have nothing to do, I tease the beautiful head teacher or play with Ningning. My life is very comfortable.
The heat on the Internet regarding Dawn and the Civil Aviation Administration has also cooled down.
The Aeronautics Administration's complaint was rejected. They had a video, but it didn't show Zhang San's face, so it couldn't be used as evidence. As for the people on the Earth-based space station, no one saw Zhang San's face either... so naturally, no one dared to say that it was Zhang San.
The videos shot at their house at night are still fresh...
In this case, without physical evidence or witnesses, naturally no one would accept the case.
In the blink of an eye, nearly a month had passed.
As the people of the capital were eagerly waiting, the capital opened for business at dawn!
On the opening day, the popularity exploded and it was even more popular than Canglan City.
The Capital Dawn branch is no smaller than the one in Canglan City.
Naturally, a large number of service personnel were recruited, and these service personnel also received corresponding training during this month.
This time everything went smoothly without any incidents.
Dawn Square successfully became a new landmark building in the capital within the next few days.
Since the second branch opened, Dawn has been on a fast track. Just over ten days later, Dawn in Kaiyuan City also opened.
On the day of the opening of Kaiyuan City Dawn, the popularity was even higher than that of the Capital Dawn! Many companies in the city sent flower baskets to congratulate.
Even officials, night watchmen and military personnel came to show their support.
After all, Kaiyuan City was almost saved by Poxiao single-handedly.
It is worth mentioning that... the director of Kaiyuan City Night Watch has been replaced by a new person. The former director Zhang Wenyuan has already asked to enter the abyss.
He actually did what he said.
After the opening of the three branches, Qin Jinnian truly realized what it meant to make a fortune! The daily turnover of the three branches was between 10 billion and 15 billion. Moreover, the turnover of the first day of opening in the capital and Kaiyuan City exceeded 20 billion.
The three branches combined, Dawn's daily turnover can reach 50 to 60 billion! This is a very scary number.
When a data expert posted it online, it immediately caused a sensation.
Earn 50 billion a day!
What kind of magical group is this?!
However, this is just flowing water.
It’s not that Qin Jinnian can earn 50 billion every day.
Because the Abyss materials are imported from the Yas Empire, and Dawn sells them at a low price, the profit from the materials is only about 40 to 50 percent.
In other words, out of the 50 billion, more than 25 billion will be given to the Yas Empire to purchase abyss materials.
Although the contract signed with Arthur stipulated that "20% of the total materials" would be imported from the Yas Empire, in fact, due to the previous blockade, Qin Jinnian did not trust those aristocratic families very much, so he still traded directly with the Yas Empire in the short term.
The remaining 50% was not pure profit. First, taxes had to be paid, which was 20% of the total, leaving only 30%. The various initial payments for the Dawn Building also had to be repaid in installments.
Add to that the employee salaries and various other expenses, and when you add it all up...
In the end, it would be good if 5 billion out of 50 billion could actually fall into Dawn's pocket.
Of course, 5 billion a day is a pretty scary number.
But of course, this money will not be kept, but will continue to expand...
Wang Wu had been working non-stop for a while, and even with his clones, he was still a little overwhelmed. In the end, he captured the idle Li Si and asked him to run with him.
Li Si's cold face was filled with speechlessness and impatience, but he could not help but follow Qin Jinnian's lead...
Everything was developing in an orderly manner, everything was going smoothly and peacefully, and even Qin Jinnian almost forgot about the previous sudden blockades and attacks.
Until a hot search appeared without any warning.
"Shocking news! The prince of the Super Martial Alliance, Yun Jiucheng, was attacked on his way back from a celebrity charity auction in the capital. He was seriously injured and his life or death is unknown. His female companion was the popular actress Luo Ying... Luo Ying died on the spot!"
This sudden news was all over the place in an instant, and Qin Jinnian, who was bored and scrolling through videos, saw it at a glance.
Then he blinked his eyes, and after this explosive headline, there was a video.
In the video, he clearly saw that at the gate of a luxurious restaurant, Yun Jiucheng, who was dressed in noble attire, walked out of the restaurant, smiled and waved to the surrounding media for a while, and then got into a car with a tall and beautiful woman.
At the moment the vehicle drove out of the restaurant, a dark shadow suddenly appeared from the sky and instantly penetrated the vehicle.
With a roar, the vehicle turned directly into a huge fireball, and screams were heard continuously in the video.
The camera shook wildly and ran over quickly, and then saw that the vehicle had been blown into pieces, and then a figure wrapped in a ball of light was lying unconscious on the ground. On the other side, there was a body burning in flames.
Text appeared on the video: "The Yun family's prince was wearing the latest protective bracelet developed by the Super Martial Alliance. After being activated in time, he did not die on the spot, but he was also seriously injured and fell into a coma..."
The video ends.
Qin Jinnian's brows furrowed.
The black shadow that penetrated...
shadow……
And at this moment, Li Yuqi suddenly contacted him.
"Li Changan is dead."
"Um?"
Qin Jinnian's thoughts were still on the shadow. Li Yuqi's sudden words made him a little confused.
