The last message from Jiang Wenbo made Li Yao jump to his feet. [Ads: This site has changed its URL. Shorthand:,]
"What? The Mountain Sea Sect is going to be swallowed?"
He couldn't hold it any longer and contacted Jiang Wenbo through the spiritual crane messenger.
Two frustrated faces appeared on the light beam. Jiang Wenbo and Guan Xiong were discussing the affairs of the sect together.
"Mr. Jiang, Brother Xiong, what's going on?"
"The reviews of 'Flying Sword and Battle Armor' are fair enough, but the reviews of 'Magical Equipment World' and 'Refiners' Home 'are completely out of the normal range. It is unreasonable that so many bad reviews are still on the major forums!"
"You also said in the letter that many dealers had suspended the cooperation. That's unreasonable, too!
"The Demon Beast Detector has only been on the market for one month, and no major quality problems have been found. Even if the sales are not good enough, they shouldn't have suspended the cooperation immediately, right?
"Now, you're saying that the Mountain Sea Sect might be swallowed by other sects. What's going on?"
Li Yao went straight to the point and asked a series of questions.
Jiang Wenbo and Guan Xiong looked at each other and sighed.
"Li Yao, your guess is correct. We've been ambushed. The Demon Beast Detector has been targeted even before it's on the market.
"There's definitely something wrong with the review article in the Sanyan Bao Magazine. Someone must be behind the negative comments on the major forums. Also, we know privately that many distributors were forced to stop working with us."
"However, that's not a big problem.
"The Demon Beast Detector is indeed an excellent piece of magical equipment. According to our interviews with real customers, most of them are very satisfied with it and have expressed that they want to recommend it to their friends. As long as we persist, the sales will be better and better with the reputation.
"But right now, the biggest problem is..."
Jiang Wenbo pondered for a moment and then said with a self-mocking smile. "Forget it. It doesn't matter if I tell you. After all, the Mountain Sea Sect's capital chain is spreading like wildfire in the world of Cultivators. The capital chain of the Mountain Sea Sect is about to break! "
"What!"
Li Yao was shocked.
The capital of a sect was the top secret of the top secrets. Once the capital chain broke, it would definitely cause a chain reaction. Destroy the sect directly!
Since Jiang Wenbo was able to tell him about this, it meant that the news had already spread and become a secret that everyone knew.
Jiang Wenbo smiled bitterly and said,
"It's impossible for a few reviews in a magazine to deal a fatal blow to us. Even if many distributors stop working with us, there are still many old brothers who have worked with us for decades who support us. We can still sell online."
"But right now, it's the crystal camera supplier that has a problem.
"The crystal camera suppliers that we cooperated with, after providing the first batch of crystal cameras, have been giving all kinds of excuses. They delayed the delivery, but during the communication, they patted their chest and repeatedly assured that there was no problem. It was only because of the supply of raw materials and other objective reasons that they had to delay the delivery. They would definitely deliver the goods before the deadline and compensate for the relevant losses. "
"This crystal camera supplier has been cooperating with us for many years. We trust each other very much. Therefore, we believe it, too.
"If you don't get the crystal camera, you will be able to do it. More than ten thousand half-finished Demon Beast Detectors were manufactured and sold in advance.
"However, after three extensions, the crystal camera supplier tore up the contract in the end. The cooperation has been terminated! "
"As a result, all of our pre-sales had to be withdrawn. Other than the double refund to the customers, our reputation was also affected."
"More importantly, more than ten thousand half-finished Demon Beast Detectors were manufactured according to the specifications of the crystal camera supplier. They are all refined according to the specifications of the crystal cameras provided by this supplier. It is very difficult to replace the crystal cameras of another sect. "
Li Yao nodded.
As a refiner, he was very clear that the crystal cameras manufactured by different sects were very different in specifications. If the difference was even a millimeter, it would be impossible for them to be used.
However, there was still one thing that he didn't understand.
"Mr. Jiang, when you signed the contract with the crystal camera supplier, there should be a breach of contract clause, right? Also, the breach of contract should be more than your losses, right? "
Jiang Wenbo said.
"Li Yao, you are not an admin-type Cultivator. Naturally, you don't understand the logic."
"Yes, there is indeed a breach of contract clause. But now that the other party has turned against us, we can only solve the problem through legal means! The lawsuit will last for one or two years. In the end, we will definitely win the case. However, it will take one or two years, or even three to five years to get the breach of contract! "
Li Yao thought for a moment and asked in confusion.
"But what benefits will the other party get by doing this? Money, reputation, all of them will suffer heavy losses! They are simply courting death. They want to drag the Mountain Sea Sect down with them! "
Jiang Wenbo shook his head.
"You are wrong. The Mountain Sea Sect will definitely die before them. We have two loans due next month. Because of this incident, we have lost a lot of money. We simply can't pay them back."
"What is even more strange is that the financial situation of the Mountain Sea Sect was somehow leaked. Right now, the entire world of Cultivators knows that the Mountain Sea Sect's financial chain is about to break. Who is willing to lend us money?"
Li Yao frowned. After a moment, he asked.
"Mr. Jiang, can you tell me how much the Mountain Sea Sect is short of funds?"
Jiang Wenbo was dazed for a moment. Guan Xiong, who had been standing next to him with a gloomy face, opened his mouth.
"Now that things have come to this, what is there to hide? The outside world has even gotten our financial report! Besides, the Demon Beast Detector is a joint project between us and Li Yao. Li Yao is also a partner. He should know about our situation. "
"Right now, the entire sect is trying to find a solution. We have used all our connections. By next month, we are estimated to be short of three to five hundred million. If we don't solve this problem, the Mountain Sea Sect will be finished!"
Li Yao nodded thoughtfully.
Three to five hundred million, for a Cultivation Sect, didn't sound like much.
But in reality, the situation was not so simple.
What was a financial chain? It was a chain that was linked to one another!
The Mountain Sea Sect had been running poorly for the past few years and was heavily in debt.
In order to start the Demon Beast Detector project, the Mountain Sea Sect had borrowed a lot of money from banks and major sects. Its external debt was estimated to be several billion.
All the creditors were paying attention to the sales of the Demon Beast Detector and the financial situation of the Mountain Sea Sect.
If the Demon Beast Detector became a hit and the sales were amazing, the banks and major sects would naturally not be in a hurry to collect their debts. Maybe they would even increase the loan and earn a lot of interest.
Right now. The sales of the Demon Beast Detector were weak, and the Mountain Sea Sect's financial chain was broken. If the Mountain Sea Sect didn't pay the money, it would definitely cause a chain reaction. All the banks and sects would not agree to the extension of the loan. They would insist that the Mountain Sea Sect pay the money back immediately.
The Mountain Sea Sect would be ruined!
Li Yao vaguely felt that the whole thing was a trap from the beginning to the end.
"There must be someone behind this. Someone must be behind this. I wonder, do you know who is targeting the Mountain Sea Sect and our Demon Beast Detector? "
Li Yao asked coldly. His eyes were shining with dangerous light.
Before Jiang Wenbo could say anything, Guan Xiong gnashed his teeth and said,
"I don't have any conclusive evidence. But ten days ago, the Zephyr Guild released the news that they were going to buy the Mountain Sea Sect. They want us to become the Mountain Sea Hall of the Zephyr Guild! "
"The Zephyr Guild!"
Li Yao immediately remembered that when he applied for the patent of the Demon Beast Detector, the Zephyr Guild had contacted him and wanted to buy the patent at a very low price. In the end, he turned them down.
Jiang Wenbo said,
"The Zephyr Guild is a traditional magnate in the refinement of precision magical equipment. In recent years, it has been shifting its focus to the direction of probe magical equipment. This year, in particular, it has launched a series of probe magical equipment at great cost. Just the advertising fees alone are astronomical. "
"However, the Zephyr Guild started out by refining watches. Their probe magical equipment is very useful. Wear them all on your wrist. "
"I bought a few and studied them. In terms of craftsmanship and precision, they are indeed much better than our Demon Beast Detector."
"But in actual combat, I still think the Demon Beast Detector is better."
Li Yao narrowed his eyes.
"That is to say, if the Demon Beast Detector is really a hot seller. It is very likely that they will seize the market of the Zephyr Guild's probe magical equipment and cause the Zephyr Guild to suffer heavy losses. "
"Yes!"
"Besides, the series of competitive methods used against us are very similar to Shark's style."
Li Yao was stunned. "Who's Shark?"
"Qiu Guanyu, the young master of the Zephyr Guild, is a talented admin-type Cultivator. He is only 29 years old, but he has led many mergers and acquisitions and helped the Zephyr Guild swallow many small and medium-sized sects."
Jiang Wenbo said, "Qiu Guanyu's methods are sharp and ruthless. He is best known for his ruthlessness and ruthlessness. If he wants to swallow a middle or small sect, he will often suppress it with all kinds of methods so that the middle or small sect will have no choice but to accept his conditions and be swallowed by the Zephyr Guild!"
"Seven years after his debut, he has swallowed 11 small or medium-sized sects in such a way. Every year, one or two sects become his victims. Therefore, Qiu Guanyu is known as' Shark 'in the world of Cultivators."
"That explains a lot. I understand now."
Li Yao was deep in thought. He asked again, "Mr. Jiang, Brother Xiong, what do the Mountain Sea Sect think about the mergers and acquisitions?"
"Of course we don't want to!"
Guan Xiong shouted, "If the Zephyr Guild had offered to buy us a few months ago when the Mountain Sea Sect was desperate, maybe we would've gritted our teeth and agreed.
"But right now, we have such an excellent product as the Demon Beast Detector and we are ready to go all out, only to be tricked by the shark in such a shameless way. It even wants to swallow us in one gulp? Whoever wants to go can go, but I certainly won't. I'm so pissed that my lungs are about to explode when I think that I'll have to call the shark 'Master' one day!
"Anyway, if the Mountain Sea Sect is really bought, I'll just leave and become an unaffiliated Cultivator!"
Jiang Wenbo said.
"Not many people in the Mountain Sea Sect are willing to be bought. But with everything coming to this point, what else can we do?"
Li Yao was silent for a moment and said,
"All in all, if we can gather three to five hundred million before next month, we'll be able to get through the crisis, right?"
Jiang Wenbo nodded. Then he opened his eyes wide and exclaimed,
"Li Yao, what do you want to do?"
Li Yao said, one word after another.
"I want to fight the Zephyr Guild and the shark."
Jiang Wenbo said anxiously.
"You don't know anything about business wars. You are definitely no match for the shark. Even if we can solve the funding problem temporarily, as long as the sales of the Demon Beast Detector don't go up, we will still need a lot of money in the future. This is a bottomless pit. There's no need to jump into it! Besides, this is just our speculation. We don't have any solid evidence to prove that the Zephyr Guild is behind this!
"As for the funding problem, we'll figure it out later. Anyway, as long as Brother Xiong, Mr. Jiang, and the Mountain Sea Sect can stick together until the last moment, everything will be fine! As for the evidence …
Li Yao smiled, revealing his sharp teeth. "Do you think that I, 'Vulture Li Yao', am the kind of person who needs solid evidence to fight back?" xh118
