Chapter 401: You're too superstitious!

"Toot—toot…"

The car's horn sounded.

The driver's seat had been laid flat by Lin Feng.

But… but… his grandma's horn actually sounded!

Bai Ying suddenly came to her senses.

Her gaze became clear, and she widened her eyes to look at Lin Feng.

The atmosphere that had been painstakingly cultivated just disappeared.

Lin Feng hurriedly said: "I'm treating your rheumatism; look, by pressing the acupressure points, the dampness has been forced out."

Saying this, Lin Feng showed Bai Ying his finger.

His solemn expression left Bai Ying laughing and crying.

She pressed the switch on the seat, and the seatback sprang up.

After adjusting the seatback's angle, Bai Ying started the car.

She turned the steering wheel and drove out onto the training field.

Lin Feng gazed out the window, looking dejected.

Bai Ying thought Lin Feng was dissatisfied, and while holding the steering wheel, she said, "Next time!"

What are we going to do next time?

Lin Feng couldn't hold his tongue.

As soon as the words left his mouth, he wanted to slap himself.

Sure enough, it was bad!

Bai Ying furrowed her brows and said, "Next time I'll take you to eat seafood!"

This is a must!

After sending Lin Feng home, Bai Ying immediately drove away.

Lin Feng watched regretfully as the car drove farther away, disappearing from his sight.

Noon on the 26th.

Liu Cangyun received a message from the publisher.

Yesterday's sales of the Yongle Encyclopedia were encouraging.

From 100-volume to 200-volume sets of the Yongle Encyclopedia, over 20,000 sets were sold in total.

The average price per set was 30,000.

After deducting printing, sales, and operating costs, etc.

Yesterday's one-day revenue yielded a net profit exceeding 300 million.

This morning, according to the feedback received.

This morning on the 26th, over 20,000 sets had already been sold.

It is expected to sell out within a week, after which several ten thousand more sets will need to be reprinted.

According to Lin Feng's valuation, if this set of the Yongle Encyclopedia he holds were sold in full, it would be worth at least tens of trillions.

Of course, that's because the Yongle Encyclopedia he holds is not only one-of-a-kind, but also an antique.

If it were a regular printed publication, it definitely couldn't sell for that much money.

But its advantage lies in its longevity.

First, it is sold by categorizing volumes, in complete sets.

Later, customized editions can be released, such as various deluxe editions.

This way it can keep selling.

Later, promotional efforts can be increased.

Let those who have a little money and want to set up a study feel that not having a set of the Yongle Encyclopedia on the bookshelf means lacking taste.

This way, an average annual net profit of several hundred million is possible.

It can keep selling for many years, a steady trickle.

Previously, a set of the Yongle Encyclopedia was very expensive, tens of thousands per set.

Actually, in the collecting world it didn't cause much of a stir.

But now it's different; Lin Feng holds the complete set.

It's not the kind missing volumes.

Readers who buy it home can systematically and continuously learn about Guo Jia's ancient history, literature, architecture, music, …

Lin Feng was feeling proud just then.

Someone from above has arrived.

This time it's not just some small fry like Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lin, this is a loan note personally written by the big boss, with the date; it will definitely be returned when due—let's borrow one volume first!

The mysterious person produced identification for Lin Feng to look at, then said.

Lin Feng readily agreed.

The big boss wanted to see it, so Lin Feng naturally had no way and no reason to refuse.

Remember to wash your hands clean when reading……

Lin Feng watched as several dozen volumes were taken away, holding the big boss's signed loan note, and furrowed his brows to advise.

Mr. Lin, rest assured!

The person who came to borrow the book laughed and said.

Lin Feng waved the IOU in his hand, "How about we don't have to repay it! I'll pass this IOU to my son later."

"Uh…"

Number 27.

A sudden "demonic wind" swept across the internet.

Those famous bloggers, many of them posted, directly or indirectly mocking Boss Lin.

Saying Boss Lin insulted the Grand Ceremony or something.

Someone even bought a trending spot, pushing those posts onto the trending list.

Under normal circumstances, in a few days, Boss Lin would become a "refined scoundrel".

But soon, a sudden incident eclipsed those trends, instantly sinking those people's posts into oblivion.

Long Chui Chui, missing for over half a year, appears again!

"Hello everyone! I'm Long Chui Chui. It's been over half a year since I last saw you; I wonder if you've missed me?"

"During this half‑year, I haven't been idle; I still fight those who constantly spew filth and use the internet to hurt others, the trolls."

"Last time, in a hurry and insufficiently prepared, many fell through the net. But my followers need not worry; 99% of the trolls have been made to suffer worse than death."

"Unfortunately, trolls are like chives: cut one batch, another grows. This time I'm not avenging myself, but venting my anger."

"Do you see my appearance changed? I've had plastic surgery; now my surname is Cao, and my name is Cao Yang. I just signed a deal with Dingsheng Entertainment. Thanks to Dingsheng Entertainment for their cooperation. Of course, it's not their fault; they were also deceived by me…"

After a brief explanation, Long Chui Chui showed the audience the new ship he bought.

It's over two hundred meters long, a cruise ship.

Like last time, the cruise ship's passengers were filled with laughter and chatter.

After showing a video, Long Chui Chui laughed, "This time I've used high tech to block all signals. On the vast ocean, even satellites in the sky can hardly detect this vessel."

"This time I won't bomb the ship; instead I've installed many cameras on board, then emptied the fresh water and food, to see how long these people can survive on the ship!"

"Also, I want to make a bet with everyone!"

"Bet that these people are selfish, with no moral bottom line, total scum."

"There are 305 people here, originally 399; those who didn't board either had already met misfortune, or had once cyber‑bully others online and then regretted it…"

"If one tenth of these 305 people awaken, the game ends, and they all survive; let's watch and see!"

After Long Chui Chui posted the video online.

Lin Feng, after watching the video, called Zhu Li, "Zhu Li, did you see the video online?"

Zhu Li laughed, "Don't worry, husband, the stocks related to Dingsheng Entertainment will definitely plunge in the next few days; if they drop by a third of their market value, we'll earn at least a hundred billion!"

Lin Feng laughed, "Let's watch and see! After shorting this time, I think the capital behind Dingsheng won't just watch it collapse; they'll make a big profit later."

"Alright, husband! When are you coming over?"

Zhu Li asked.

Lin Feng said, "In a few days! I think I still need to visit Mr. Yang Yu in the next couple of days…"

While Lin Feng was on the phone, Yang Caiwei was standing beside Yang Yu.

Yang Yu was calmly writing calligraphy.

Yang Yu's anger toward Lao Liu had already lessened a lot.

After all, she's his most beloved daughter; this kinship and Bloodline cannot be cut.

"Dad, can't you and Senior Brother Lin get along properly?"

Yang Caiwei frowned and said.

"Don't mention him; mentioning him brings me bad luck!"

Yang Yu glared at Yang Caiwei.

Yang Caiwei laughed, "You are too superstitious!"

Yang Yu chuckled.

At that moment, the phone rang.

It was Assistant Wang calling nearby.

"Boss, something's wrong! That person surnamed Cao is actually Long Chui Chui…"

Assistant Wang's voice sounded very nervous.

"What?"

Yang Yu, after hearing Assistant Wang, wore a shocked expression.
