Unlike others who can take out their phones to check when they're embarrassed, Jin Jingcheng's phone was out of battery and was left charging in his room, so he could only continue eating with his head down.
He didn't quite understand, and just guessed that everyone was curious about his invention, curiosity led to envy, envy turned into jealousy, jealousy led to guessing, and that's how it ended up like this?
Indeed, everyone is making various speculations, but the speculations are about how the organizers will handle this matter.
It's common for all writing to be plagiarized, and academic writing is no exception. Copying from foreign sources, copying from students, or piecing together various works are all normal. But to directly bring readily available material that everyone uses on the street to publicly exchange at this level of academic conference is something that everyone is encountering for the first time.
It was absolutely astonishing.
So, right after dinner, the conference organizers, having learned of this, decided to cancel Kim Jung-sung's participation in the conference, and someone else was temporarily found to replace him for the closing remarks the next day.
...
Kang Shuaifu left the live stream for a while because he was annoyed by the comments. When he returned to the live stream, he saw that everyone was openly bidding on a bottle of Class I water in his live stream, and the bottle had been auctioned off for 8.88 million yuan. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
However, putting aside this information, Ouyang Feng's villa did attract Kang Shuaifu's attention.
Others may have only heard about it, but Kang Shuaifu knew very well that Ouyang Feng did not use recycled water to manufacture 7D printed fruits and vegetables. After all, Kang Shuaifu could find out how much recycled water people around the world consume every day if he wanted to, since the water purification system was provided by their company.
Since recycled water wasn't used, and naturally, natural water couldn't have been used either, the only explanation is that the area occupied by Ouyang Feng does indeed have groundwater.
According to the mall's sales rules, each person can basically only list one product, in order to maximize everyone's interests.
This is a good thing for Kang Shuaifu, because his biggest asset is owning a lake, and he sells all water or water-related derivatives, which can all be considered the same category.
Fortunately, this regulation exists. Even after discovering that there was groundwater under his villa, Ouyang Feng, after listing his 7D printing products, couldn't afford to purchase the full package for listing a second item.
Ouyang Feng may not be good enough, but that doesn't mean others are.
Kang Shuaifu was naturally the first to meet the criteria, since he already sold water. If he successfully bid for Ouyang Feng's villa and acquired his resources, putting it on the market would be a piece of cake.
However, Lin Sen had no problem, because his wealth was enough to cover the full service fee for listing the second item.
However, Kang Shuaifu believes that given Lin Sen's current resources, he shouldn't be very interested in Ouyang Feng's villa.
As for those guys clamoring that they'd rather drink recycled water or buy secondhand Class I water than buy his natural water, Kang Shuaifu wasn't worried at all. Sure enough, in no time, the sales of his natural water gradually picked up again. After all, Li Lechen was limited to 50 million bottles per day, and most of this water would be used by the buyers themselves; only a small portion would be available for resale.
With this safeguard in place, sales recovery is only a matter of time.
Indeed, due to the charging for recycled water, natural water has become extremely expensive. In addition, the large-scale population screening has ended, and most people who are still able to make ends meet are choosing to use the limited-quantity Class I water for their own consumption.
So, among those big shots from the safe zone A who went to the quarantine zone's live stream room, only a few actually managed to get some high-quality water.
So, while having no choice but to buy Kangshuaifu's Class I water, they also cursed him relentlessly.
The next day, the 50 million bottles of Class I water were still priced at 250 coins per bottle. Although they didn't sell out as quickly as before, most of them had already been sold by the time Li Lechen got up at seven o'clock.
With this income, Li Lechen's total wealth has easily exceeded 88 billion yuan.
It's rare for a smart shopping guide from an online mall to proactively reach out to you. After all, with a service fee of 88 billion yuan, the other party has the money and it's a genuine need. Waiting for it to come to you would be too pretentious.
"My dear boy who chases the wind!"
The image of a shopping mall salesperson suddenly appeared. Li Lechen was still in bed when he heard the sound, opened his eyes, and was immediately startled.
The sales assistant showed no remorse and went straight to the point: "Dear, your current assets are sufficient to cover the full service fee for the second item. Would you like to purchase it?"
"..."
Li Lechen was still asleep and had no intention of paying any attention to the sales assistant.
For the sake of 88 billion, the sales associate didn't mind Li Lechen's cold treatment at all and continued to fawn over him, saying, "You are currently restricted in the daily sales volume and sales scope of Class I water. Listing a second item is the only way for you to expand your business. According to big data, although most residents have bought the Class I water you sell, due to the limited quantity and the inability to cover Safe Zone A, all residents in Safe Zone A can only buy natural water produced by Natural Water Company. Therefore, the sales volume of natural water has increased rather than decreased, which is still very unfavorable for your future expansion in the water resources market."
"oh."
Li Lechen responded with a blank expression.
Even if it has an impact, so what? That's still a matter for the future.
"Therefore, the bottled water you are selling is being resold in large quantities privately, with the highest price reaching 8.88 million yuan per bottle."
"What?!"
Li Lechen suddenly sat up.
What's with the 8.88 million per bottle?
So the mall's sales assistant quickly embellished the story of what happened in Kang Shuaifu's live stream yesterday, and then, quite cunningly according to Li Lechen's psychology, described in various details of how a group of nouveau riche drove up water prices.
