Chapter 136: Fooling the Immortal Emperor
Chen Yu rubbed his hands together, a smile plastered across his face, like a profiteer. "Your Majesty, this Demon Realm specialty is rare in the human world. If we bring it to the Immortal Realm and sell it, it will definitely be in short supply. It will be a huge profit!"
The Immortal Emperor put down the Demon Realm pastry in his hand, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and said thoughtfully: "Indeed, this Demon Realm thing has a unique flavor and is indeed a rare item in the Immortal Realm."
He was wearing a golden dragon robe, a golden crown on his head, had a handsome face, and exuded imperial majesty in his every move.
Chen Yu's eyes rolled as he continued, "So, I want to set up a 'cross-border specialty trading company' that specializes in shipping specialty products from the Demon Realm, or even the mortal world, to the Immortal Realm to sell. I'm sure I can make a lot of money!"
The Immortal Emperor raised his eyebrows in interest: "Oh? Then how do you plan to do it?"
Chen Yu cleared his throat, pulled out his phone from his storage bag, opened the Taobao page, and showed it to the Immortal Emperor: "Look, this is a kind of trading magic weapon in our mortal world, called a 'mobile phone'. It can buy and sell things remotely, very conveniently."
He enlarged the product images on the phone screen, pointed at the dazzling array of goods, and began to introduce them incessantly: "These are all special products from the mortal world, food, clothing, and daily necessities, everything you need.
You can buy what you want with just a few clicks.”
The Immortal Emperor looked at the colorful pictures on the phone screen, his eyes filled with curiosity: "So magical?
This is even more convenient and faster than the sound transmission notes in our immortal world." He stretched out his finger and poked the screen. The screen slid along with his movements, which made him marvel.
Seeing the Immortal Emperor's interest, Chen Yu struck while the iron was hot: "Your Majesty, if you are willing to invest in my company, I can make you a shareholder and make a fortune together!"
The Immortal Emperor put down his phone, a gleam in his eyes: "Shareholder?
What does this mean?
Chen Yu explained: "You invest money in my company, I'm responsible for the operation, and we split the profits in proportion.
You don’t have to do anything, and you just sit back and reap the benefits.”
The Immortal Emperor pondered for a moment and asked, "How much investment do I need?"
Chen Yu stretched out a finger: "Not much, just ten thousand high-grade immortal stones."
The Immortal Emperor smiled slightly: "Ten thousand high-grade immortal stones? This is not a small amount.
Why do you make me believe that your company can make money?"
Chen Yu said confidently, "Your Majesty, think about it, this Demon Realm specialty is so rare in the Immortal Realm, it must be sold at a very high price.
Moreover, in addition to the Demon Realm, I can also transport all kinds of rare and unique specialties from the mortal world and even other places to the fairyland to sell, and the market prospects are very broad.
If you invest now, you will definitely make money!"
The Immortal Emperor looked at Chen Yu's confident look and felt a little shaken.
He turned to look at the maid Xiaotao beside him and asked, "Xiaotao, what do you think?"
Xiaotao is a young fairy in pink palace dress with pretty face and sweet voice.
She bowed slightly and replied respectfully, "I think Mr. Chen's idea is very creative and may really make money."
The Immortal Emperor nodded and looked at Chen Yu: "Okay, I will invest 10,000 high-grade immortal stones in you.
However, I want half of the company's shares."
Chen Yu was secretly delighted, but pretended to be troubled on his face: "Your Majesty, isn't half of the shares a bit too much?
I risked my life to travel across various interfaces in search of specialties."
The Immortal Emperor laughed heartily: "The greater the risk, the greater the reward. I believe you have the ability."
Seeing the Immortal Emperor's firm attitude, Chen Yu stopped bargaining and said, "Okay, then it's half and half.
But I have to choose the company name.”
The Immortal Emperor readily agreed: "No problem, you can choose any name for the company."
Chen Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Then let's call it 'The Universe's First Cross-Border Specialty Products Trading Co., Ltd.'"
The Immortal Emperor's mouth twitched. This name was too...down-to-earth. However, he didn't say anything. After all, it was just a name.
Seeing that the Immortal Emperor had agreed, Chen Yu quickly took out a contract from his storage bag and handed it to the Immortal Emperor: "Your Majesty, please review this contract."
The Immortal Emperor took the contract and read it carefully. It was written in modern legal terms, and the Immortal Emperor was completely confused.
He pointed to a clause in the contract and asked, "What does this 'intellectual property' mean?"
Chen Yu patiently explained, "It means that your ideas, inventions, designs, etc. are protected by law and others cannot copy them at will."
The Immortal Emperor nodded, not quite understanding, and continued reading.
Chen Yu observed the Immortal Emperor's words and expressions from the side. Seeing that the Immortal Emperor was struggling, he said, "Your Majesty, if you don't understand, I can explain it to you."
The Immortal Emperor put down the contract and said, "No need, I trust you."
He picked up the pen and signed his name on the contract.
Chen Yu took the contract, a smug smile on his face. He pulled a jade slip from his storage bag and handed it to the Immortal Emperor: "Your Majesty, this is half of the company's shares. Please keep it."
The Immortal Emperor took the jade slip, examined it carefully, and then put it in his pocket.
Chen Yu stood up and bowed to the Immortal Emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, it's a pleasure to work with you!"
The Immortal Emperor smiled and nodded: "Happy cooperation!"
Seeing the Immortal Emperor so forthright, Chen Yu was overjoyed. He took out his phone and said to the camera, "Family, I have good news for you. His Majesty the Immortal Emperor has invested in my company and has become my partner!
In the future, our company will provide more high-quality cross-border specialty products, please support us!"
The audience in the live broadcast room suddenly exploded:
"Holy crap! This host is awesome! He even tricked the Immortal Emperor into becoming a shareholder!"
"666! The host's operation is simply amazing!"
"Even the Immortal Emperor has invested in this company, so it's a sure win!"
"Anchor, when will it go public? I want to buy stocks!"
Chen Yu looked at the dense barrage of comments on the screen and couldn't stop laughing.
He said to the camera, "My family, please be patient. The company is still in its early stages. Once it grows stronger, I will definitely list it on the Immortal Realm. Then everyone can come and buy shares!"
The Immortal Emperor looked at Chen Yu talking to himself in front of a glowing block, his heart full of doubts.
He asked, "Brother Chen Yu, what are you doing?"
Chen Yu explained: "I am interacting with my audience. This glowing block is called a 'mobile phone' and can be used for live streaming, allowing my audience to see what I am doing."
The Immortal Emperor nodded, not quite understanding, and was full of curiosity about this magical "mobile phone".
Chen Yu continued, "Your Majesty, I have specially prepared a gift for you to celebrate the success of our cooperation."
He pulled out a bottle of Coke from his storage bag and handed it to the Immortal Emperor: "This is a specialty of our mortal world, called 'Happy Water'. Drinking it can make people feel happy."
The Immortal Emperor took the Coke, looked at it curiously, then unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip.
"Puff——" The Immortal Emperor spat out cola, and the cola sprayed all over Chen Yu's face.
"What is this? Why is it so unpalatable!" said the Immortal Emperor with a frown.
Chen Yu quickly took out a handkerchief, wiped the Coke off his face, and smiled awkwardly: "Your Majesty, this happy water tastes better when it is chilled.
The first time you drink it, you might not be used to it.”
The Immortal Emperor placed the Coke on the table and said, "I still prefer to drink Immortal Brew."
Upon seeing this, Chen Yu quickly pulled out a jar of Demon Realm wine from his storage bag and handed it to the Immortal Emperor: "Your Majesty, please try this. This is the Demon Realm's specialty wine, with a mellow flavor and a long aftertaste."
The Immortal Emperor took the jar, opened the lid, took a sniff, and exclaimed, "Hmm, this wine smells good!"
He poured a glass and savored it slowly.
"Mm, good wine! This wine from the Demon Realm is even better than the wine from the Immortal Realm!"
The Immortal Emperor praised it highly.
Chen Yu was secretly delighted. It seemed that the Immortal Emperor’s taste was similar to that of mortals.
He took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, if you like, I can provide you with the fine wine of the Demon Realm for a long time."
The Immortal Emperor was immediately interested when he heard this: "Oh? How do you provide it?"
Chen Yu smiled and said, "Of course, through our company! From now on, whatever wine you want to drink or whatever local specialties you want to eat, you can buy them through our company. We guarantee high quality and low prices!"
The Immortal Emperor nodded: "Okay, then it's settled."
Seeing the Immortal Emperor so forthright, Chen Yu felt even more proud. He felt like he had made a killing this time. Not only had he tricked the Immortal Emperor into investing in his company, he had also found a long-term client.
At this time, an old man wearing a white robe and with an immortal look walked in.
He is the Immortal Emperor's chief strategist, named Li Changfeng.
Li Changfeng walked up to the Immortal Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has sent someone to invite you over."
The Immortal Emperor nodded and said, "I understand. I'll be there right away." He turned to Chen Yu and said, "Brother Chen Yu, I have something else to attend to, so I'll excuse myself first.
You and Xiaotao can chat here first, and when I come back, we can continue to discuss the details of the cooperation."
Chen Yu quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Farewell, His Majesty the Immortal Emperor."
After the Immortal Emperor left, Chen Yu and Xiao Tao sat at the table, chatting intermittently.
Xiao Tao asked curiously, "Mr. Chen, how did you come up with the idea of establishing this 'cross-border specialty product trading company'?"
Chen Yu smiled and said, "It's nothing, actually. I just want to make some money and improve my life."
Xiao Tao looked at Chen Yu, her eyes full of curiosity. She thought Chen Yu was very interesting. Unlike other cultivators, who spent their days thinking about cultivation and pursuing immortality.
Chen Yu seems to prefer enjoying life and pursuing material satisfaction.
Chen Yu and Xiao Tao chatted for a while, and then the Immortal Emperor came back.
The Immortal Emperor walked up to Chen Yu and said, "Brother Chen Yu, I have already discussed it with the Queen Mother. We have decided to go to Earth together."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu was immediately delighted: "Great! Your Majesty, I promise that after you go to Earth, you will definitely be reluctant to leave!"
The Immortal Emperor smiled and nodded: "I am looking forward to it too."
Chen Yu turned to Xiao Tao and said, "Miss Xiao Tao, do you want to go with us?"
Xiao Tao shook her head: "This servant will stay in the fairyland and serve His Majesty."
Chen Yu was a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything.
The Immortal Emperor said to Chen Yu, "Brother Chen Yu, please get ready. We will set off tomorrow."
Chen Yu nodded: "Okay, Your Majesty the Immortal Emperor."
The next day, Chen Yu, along with the Immortal Emperor and Queen Mother, rode on the three-headed dog of hell, left the fairyland and headed for Earth.
