Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 471 The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.

Watching Du Yusheng sign his name on the contract, Wang Heng finally threw the butterfly knife in his hand to the ground.

At this moment, the tall young man also released Qian Buqun, letting Qian Buqun collapse to the ground with his legs weak.

Several police officers rushed forward and pinned Wang Heng and the tall young man to the ground, while other officers helped the seriously injured Qian Buqun toward the police car.

Wang Heng was pinned to the ground by two police officers, but he still shouted, "I know that with your abilities, this contract is just a piece of paper! But you are entrepreneurs! You are public figures! You must keep your promises! If you don't keep your promises, I won't talk to you next time!"

"Shut up." A police officer pulled out industrial tape and wrapped it around Wang Heng's mouth.

The police station in the commercial district is under immense pressure after such a terrible incident.

Qian Buqun remained silent throughout, but his eyes were filled with resentment as he looked at Du Yusheng.

Du Yusheng ignored Qian Buqun's gaze. There were plenty of people who wanted to beat him up, so who did Qian Buqun think he was?

At worst, we can just bring more bodyguards.

This time, Du Yusheng boasted that he had successfully completed the task assigned by Cheng Yi.

He folded the contract, humming a little tune to himself, and strolled towards the Momo Building.

Back in his office, Du Yusheng immediately arranged for someone to photocopy the contract and send it to Cheng Yi via email.

【Hahaha, from now on, Zone 2 will be ours!】 In the president's office of Shengda Group, Cheng Yi was typing while engaging in a heated battle with the Straw Hat Gang's affiliated guild at the entrance of the mysterious passage.

After nearly two months of fierce fighting, most of the top experts on the First Continent had collected enough passes to enter the Second Continent.

With these top experts gone, it's like the saying goes, "When the tiger's away, the monkeys become king."

Cheng Yi's account, with its +12 equipment and +16 weapon, is incredibly fun to play.

Bloodthirsty Blade, 8L, and Elegant Beauty went to the Second Continent a month ago. However, they were among the last batch of experts to enter the Second Continent. After all, in some servers where the battles were not very intense, even ordinary accounts with 12 sets of equipment had successfully collected the pass tokens.

On the contrary, in the more intense battles in servers like Zone 1 and Zone 2, the speed at which players collected the pass tokens was several times slower.

Cheng Yi took this into account, so he didn't set up any ascension ranking list.

After all, those who get on the Ascension Ranking are mostly minor characters from remote servers.

Currently, the number of ascended players in the 264 pilot zones has reached over 100,000. A total of 50 servers have been opened across the two continents. At the end of each month, players can choose to transfer to any server they want for a fee.

This monthly server transfer system allows powerful guilds to fully enjoy the thrill of cross-server challenges.

The Han Da guild from Region 1 always thought they were so awesome, right? Once all your people ascend to the Second Continent, our guild will come to your server next month and take you down!

The number of token fragments dropped from the mysterious passages in each advance zone was roughly the same. At this time, in Zone 2, there were still three affiliated guilds of the Mad Blade Alliance and two affiliated guilds of the Straw Hat Gang.

However, without the protection of high-level warriors like Bloodthirsty Blade, these guilds are finding it difficult to compete with Cheng Yi's Shadow Pavilion.

Cheng Yi's daily pleasure is logging into the account and leading people to wreak havoc in the mysterious passage.

With his personal charm brought about by his equipment, many small guilds in the second region chose to join Shadow Pavilion.

The Shadow Pavilion quickly grew from a few dozen people to full capacity.

With 100 official members and 50 honorary members, the Shadow Pavilion's peak online count could reach 130 people by 8 p.m.

This number of people is enough to sweep away the two affiliated guilds of the Straw Hat Gang.

Cheng Yi is now acting as a lubricant, striking wherever the opponent is strong.

He stayed in Shengda for half a month, and then led his men to fight for half a month.

Most of the main members of the Shadow Pavilion have barely managed to collect enough tokens, but their motto is "never give up, never abandon," so they will only choose to ascend together once everyone has collected enough tokens.

Many guilds in the advance zone shared the same idea as Cheng Yi, calling it "never abandoning or giving up," but the real reason was that they wanted to stay on the mainland for a few days.

"what!"

Cheng Yi then killed several more members of the Straw Hat Gang's affiliated guilds, completely seizing control of the entrance to the mysterious passage.

He assigned two teams to go inside and collect the fragments, while the rest of the men guarded the entrance to the mysterious passage, preventing anyone from entering.

[Shadow Pavilion! You guys weren't this cocky when Bloodthirsty Blade and 8L were around!]

[That's right, just you wait. Once we ascend to immortality, you'll all be in for a world of hurt.]

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is not the behavior of a true man!

On the world chat channel, many players who couldn't get into the mysterious passage were expressing their outrage.

Seeing the provocative messages on the world channel, Cheng Yi finally got itchy to fight.

He typed in his usual tone: "Fine, wait and see. What, are you going to eat me? Stop talking nonsense, come and kill me if you dare. I'm not from Xiamen University."

A simple statement that "I'm not from Xiamen University" caused a complete uproar on the world channel.

[Isn't this the catchphrase of the cold-hearted young master who buries love?]

[That's right, it's that guy who talks big!]

[It turns out that "One Slash, Eighteen Cuts" and "The Cold Young Master of Funeral Love" are the same person!]

Anyone have any gold coins left? Send a message to Dao Ge in the whole channel!

……

Cheng Yi looked at the world chat channel that was flooded with messages and licked his lips somewhat awkwardly.

A single catchphrase revealed his identity.

What a blunder!

He was just about to type a reply.

A rainbow-colored barrage suddenly flashed from the right side of the game interface to the left side.

[The Bloodthirsty Blade of the Second Continent breaks through its shackles and forcibly descends upon one continent!]

"???" Cheng Yi was dumbfounded.

What grudge could there be?

If you buy a summoning talisman directly, it costs 2000 yuan per talisman.

And it can only last for two hours. Does that make sense?
At this moment, a shimmering portal appeared in mid-air above the entrance to the mysterious passage.

The portal is a vortex effect. As the vortex rotates, a colorful bridge flies out from it and lands directly on the ground.

It is the Bloodthirsty Blade.

Those who descend to the mortal realm all possess black lightning effects, signifying that they are rejected by a continent.

This Bloodthirsty Blade's leveling speed is impressive! He's only been ascended for less than a month, and he's already level 41?

Bloodthirsty Saber slowly walked down the rainbow bridge, and without saying a word, drew his sword and charged towards Cheng Yi.

Bloodthirsty Blade's equipment has changed drastically. He now wears a striking set of blood-red armor, and in his hand, he holds a sword that seems to radiate red flames.

Golden Dragon's Roar: Attack power 10-65, critical hit rate 5%!

This is the equipment from the second continent.

"Die!" Bloodthirsty Blade activated Swift Step and quickly rushed in front of Cheng Yi.

"Ah!" With just one stab, Cheng Yi lay in a pool of blood.

Bloodthirsty Blade quickly went on a killing spree, slaughtering dozens of Shadow Pavilion members all by himself.

After ascension, your level will reset to zero, and your original level will be converted into corresponding attack power and defense.

Even if it's 16 sets from one continent, it might not be able to beat 12 sets from another continent.

Moreover, the Bloodthirsty Blade set is only 16 pieces long.

【Let's rest, we'll fight again in two hours!】 Cheng Yi, who never liked to suffer losses, immediately typed in the guild channel, telling everyone to go home and find their mothers.

If you can't beat them, can't you at least avoid them?
If you have money, you'll be here 24/7!

Two hours later, seeing the Bloodthirsty Blade descend once more, Cheng Yi realized he had been careless.

Given Chen Zhi's track record, he probably could really arrive within 24 hours.

24000 in one day, 240000 in ten days, and 2400000 in one hundred days.

amount……

He seems capable of doing it.

Cheng Yi closed the client and chose to remain hidden for another two hours.

He only discovered the email from Du Yusheng after he logged out of the game.

Cheng Yi glanced through the photocopied contract in the email, his brain racing.

In business, it's all about taking risks and seeking wealth amidst danger.

Qian Buqun was just a regional president; IBM has many, many regional presidents like him.

Normally, having him around makes no difference, and not having him around makes no difference either.

But now that Qian Buqun has suffered an undeserved disaster, and is still here on official business under orders from headquarters, then this matter is no ordinary one.

"Looks like I'll have to go back to Jingzhou." Cheng Yi shut down his computer, stood up, and called out, "Secretary Li, please buy me a plane ticket from Zhonghai to Jingzhou, the sooner the better."

The next morning, Momo Group was surrounded by reporters, many of whom were well-known journalists from prominent media outlets, whom Du Yusheng had to give some face to.

"Chairman Du, how is President Qian's injury? Is that contract genuine?"

"We've heard that IBM imposed unfair terms on Momo Group? Is that true?"

"What does Momo Group have to say about the internet cafe owner kidnapping the IBM president?"

Du Yusheng thought that the matter was over once the task was completed, but he didn't expect it to have such a big impact. He was cursing in his heart, but he still had to put on the airs of a successful entrepreneur.

He ushered the reporters into the conference room and recited the lines he had rehearsed hundreds of times the night before: "First, we deeply regret and are concerned about the unfortunate incident that Mr. Qian Buqun encountered in Jingzhou, and wish him a speedy recovery. Second, this matter has nothing to do with our Momo Group; it was all an accident. As for the document that was produced under extreme circumstances, its legal validity and actual impact on the internet cafe industry still need to be assessed by professional legal institutions, and we are not in a position to comment. Finally, we urge all parties to remain calm and believe that the relevant departments will handle this matter properly."

Although Du Yusheng's official tone was impeccable, the reporters were clearly still not satisfied. Just as they were about to ask more questions, Du Yusheng hung up the phone with the excuse, "Sorry, I have an important meeting."

Du Yusheng's assistant immediately stepped in to answer the reporters' questions, but he knew nothing about them, leaving the reporters speechless.

Back in his office, Du Yusheng slumped into his executive chair, looking at Cheng Yi who had just returned to Momo Group, and muttered, "Boss, oh boss, the trouble we've caused this time is quite big. If we don't handle it well, we might really capsize!"

Cheng Yi smiled dismissively and said, "Don't be afraid, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish!"

After Cheng Yi finished speaking, he looked down at the original contract for the internet fee increase that he had signed under the knife, examining it quite carefully.

"Boss, is this thing even useful?" Du Yusheng leaned over, looking at Qian Buqun's elegant signature on the contract and his own crooked signature, his heart pounding.

Would IBM accept this coerced signature?
"Accept? They've accepted nothing." Cheng Yi sneered, pointing to the clause in the contract that stipulated "the internet fees for Shikuang Internet Cafe and its franchisees must not be lower than 2 yuan per hour within one year," and said, "But now it's a thorn in our side, a thorn stuck between IBM and Shikuang Internet Cafe. Behind Shikuang Internet Cafe is Outai Capital. Although Outai Capital and IBM are like family, IBM's appointed employees dared to sign this kind of contract without Outai Capital's approval. If you were the head of Outai Capital, what would you think?"

"I'll slap Qian Buqun a few times," Du Yusheng replied seriously.

“That’s right.” Cheng Yi laughed. “As long as Outai Capital thinks that way, then we’ve achieved our goal. The gap between our strength and IBM’s is too big. If we don’t make a fuss, IBM could swallow us up without us even noticing. But now it’s different. The news of Qian Buqun being kidnapped in Jingzhou has spread like wildfire. Everyone’s attention is focused on us. IBM certainly won’t dare to openly attack us. Otherwise, if public opinion backfires, the circle they’ve painstakingly built in China will fall apart.”

He put the contract away, his mind replaying the latest intelligence from Enze Capital.

In an effort to regain control of Legend's narrative, Actoz Group plans to enlist Samsung C&T to exert pressure.

Qian Buqun's experience also enraged IBM's management.

Meanwhile, Euro-Pacific Capital lodged a strong protest with IBM's senior management over the contract, accusing IBM of signing an unequal contract on behalf of Time and Space Internet Cafe without their permission.

“IBM wants to swallow us up, and Samsung and Actoz are also plotting something.” Cheng Yi’s eyes flashed coldly. “Since that’s the case, let’s find a way to make them fight each other first! In the current situation, we can only try to win out of the chaos.”

"Fatty." Cheng Yi turned his head sharply and looked directly at Du Yusheng, saying, "Prepare the car, we're going to the hospital to visit President Qian!"

"Okay." Du Yusheng quickly replied and hurried out to call the driver.

Qian Buqun's case has alarmed the Handong Provincial Political Affairs Association, which has led to a continuous increase in Qian Buqun's hospitalization level.

He was first admitted to the People's Hospital of Shinan District according to the principle of proximity, and then he was taken to the People's Hospital of Jingzhou City by Jingzhou City. After staying at the People's Hospital of Jingzhou City for less than half a day, he was taken to the Affiliated Provincial Hospital of Handong University by Handong Province.

When Cheng Yi and Du Yusheng entered the ward, Qian Buqun was drinking soy milk. Upon seeing Cheng Yi and Du Yusheng, his eyes first widened in astonishment, then surged with overwhelming hatred. He coldly snorted, "Du Yusheng! You dare to come here?!"

Du Yusheng said with a look of astonishment, "President Qian, are you sure you've misunderstood something? Those three guys weren't sent by me."

"Although you didn't send them, you brought them here." Although Qian Buqun tried to control his emotions, his slightly trembling face still betrayed his true feelings.
