Release of the fairyland blue bird, the witch said she couldn't stand it

Chapter 451 Just Don't Start a Business
However, there is one more thing.

That is, although he has great power, the finances are not his sole responsibility; they require the approval of his second uncle.

In fact, it's not just him who's hidden away.

Even his father, the Holy Dragon Immortal Lord, needed his second uncle's permission to use the immortal crystals in the treasury.

"My second uncle has always doted on me the most, so he should agree, right?"

Think of this.

Ao Yin then transformed into his true form and soared into the sky, heading straight for his second uncle Ao Bai's cave.

The Holy Dragon Immortal Realm is the largest of all the immortal realms.

Firstly, as members of the dragon race, and with their direct descendants being true dragons, they have the confidence to take a bite of this huge pie. Keep in mind that their Immortal Realm has a full eighteen Great Luo Realm demon immortals.

Secondly, dragons generally prefer to travel and live in their original forms.

The required living space is indeed far greater than that of other immortal realms.

This is similar to the habits of the giant lizards in the Western Fantasy Continent.

In reality, this is just self-proclaimed noble bloodline, which allows one to constantly display their sense of superiority if it is manifested in their physical form.

Ao Bai Cave Mansion.

Finance Minister Ao Bai is directing the little demons below him to decorate his cave.

Oh no.

exactly.

It should now be called a "mansion".

Cave dwellings and the like
Only uncivilized natives would use caves as their habitat.

Mobile phones are not widespread in the Holy Dragon Immortal Realm.

However, beings like Ao Bai and Ao Yin naturally came into contact with them much earlier.

As the one who holds the reins of finances, Ao Bai usually enjoys traveling around the various immortal realms.

Therefore, his understanding of mobile phones and the various aspects of the Spirit Continent is arguably the most profound in the entire Holy Dragon Immortal Realm.

Frankly speaking.

He actually studied for a period of time in the "Modern Sect Management Course" founded by Wan San Group in Ziyang Immortal Realm, and benefited greatly from it.

And Ao Bai himself often lamented:

Given my current level of understanding, if you dumped me on the Spirit Qi Continent, who could tell whether I was a high-caste person from the Spirit Qi Continent or a country bumpkin from the Holy Dragon Immortal Realm?

At this moment, Ao Bai was sitting on a Saint Lord-level beanbag chair.

Constantly giving instructions:

"That lamp was installed wrong! It's not for the main hall. Go and install it in the back garden!"

Upon hearing this, eighteen transformed wolf demons carrying crystal chandeliers filed in from beside Ao Bai.

The lampshade still has the gilded label of "Wan San Home Furnishings" still attached.

"Tsk! Can't you be a little gentler?"

I saw them rushing over in a great hurry.

Ao Bai immediately turned slightly to the side, then flicked off non-existent dust from his Armani suit.

He stepped onto the temperature-controlled floor with a pair of black swan luxury men's leather shoes, then squinted and looked at it carefully.

Immediately afterward, Ao Bai's expression changed drastically:
"The temperature is wrong! Also, I didn't tell you to buy Black Swan or Wan San Group products, did I? What brand is this temperature-controlled flooring?"

"Is it a black swan?"

Tiger Immortal, who was in charge of procurement, answered honestly.

"Black my foot! This is a black goose! You big idiot, you can't even buy the right thing!"

"I told you a thousand times not to skimp on money, but you were just hoping for the best. Can you expect good quality for cheap stuff?!"

"Buy me a new one!"

After Hu Ben adjusted the temperature to 26 degrees Celsius, he was also a little displeased when he heard Ao Bai say that:

"Black Swan is just so-so. Don't worry about whether the brand is right or not, the effect is the same, right? Besides, Black Swan doesn't have a warranty, but this company, although it's a small factory, gives you a 30-year warranty."

"You don't know anything! There's a reason why Black Swan tiles are expensive, don't you understand? Forget it, forget it, I can't reason with someone of your status. All you care about is cost-effectiveness. Just hurry up and replace the floor! Got it?"

Tiger Warrior could only nod in agreement.

Then Ao Bai's gaze began to sweep around again:
"Raise the left-side colored light by two inches! And angle it a little more!"

"What I need is diffused lighting at a 45-degree angle, not mine torches!"

"The projector can be misaligned? Left, left, no, right, right, too far to the right! Oh my god, I was wondering why you're all so clumsy, couldn't you just put it in the middle?"

The little demons frantically adjusted the various parameters of the holographic projection array.

"What's the status of the smart door lock over there? Why is it taking so long to install?"

"Get that 'Eternal Jade Bed' out of here right now, it's freezing! And hurry up and set up my Simmons mattress and Black Swan bedding!"

"Second uncle!"

When Ao Yin transformed into human form and landed.

They stumbled upon six rabbit demons installing surround sound systems on a dragon-patterned pillar.

"Is this the interior design style of the Spirit Qi Continent? Tsk, so luxurious, all black swans?"

"Haha, my dear nephew, you have a good eye! You recognized my style at a glance. That's right, they're all black swans!"

There was a pause.

He then glanced at the few Golden Immortals among the Tiger Warriors:

"Unlike some things, which have no discernment whatsoever, yet still keep babbling on and on."

After saying that, he put on a smiling face again and faced Ao Yin:
“Nephew, what brings you to visit your uncle? It’s perfect timing, I just got a few cases of Maotai yesterday, the special edition for presidents. We’ll have a good drink together later.”

"President's Special Edition Maotai?"

Upon hearing this, Ao Yin's eyes lit up instantly. As a member of the dragon race, drinking fine wine was in their nature.

Especially the wines and spirits produced on the Spirit Continent.

That's awesome!
However, he did not forget his goal:
"Second Uncle, actually, I came here today because I have a favor to ask of you."

"Want a fairy stone?"

Ao Bai, who was having someone trim the greenery, first looked up at him upon hearing this, then calmly said:
"My nephew lacks nothing now, what else could he possibly want from me? Only immortal stones, how many do you want?"

"Uh, Second Uncle, actually, the real purpose of coming to see you this time is not to ask you for immortal stones, but of course, you do need to prepare some immortal stones for me."

"Oh? You're not here for immortal stones? Then what brings you here this time?"

Ao Bai glanced at Ao Yin with a puzzled look.

"Second Uncle, it's like this. As you know, things are developing rapidly outside. I feel this is an unprecedented transformation in the Immortal Realm!"

"If our Holy Dragon Immortal Realm cannot keep up with the times, it will be eliminated sooner or later."

"So, I want to make something of myself and prove myself!"

Ao Bai, who had been calm just a moment ago, suddenly showed a hint of panic in his eyes upon hearing these words:
"Nephew, don't scare your uncle! You're perfectly capable, why are you trying to build a career? You don't need to prove yourself to anyone!"

Ao Bai, who had taken the "Modern Sect Management Course," still remembers a sentence said by the top lecturer:

[It's not that we're afraid of second-generation immortals squandering their fortunes, it's that we're afraid of them trying to prove themselves. Once they try to prove themselves, they might end up squandering their entire family's wealth.]

He never imagined that this would happen to him one day.

He only breathed a slight sigh of relief when Ao Yin said the next sentence.

"Second Uncle, I want to go to Wan San Entertainment to become an actor, I want to act! I want to become a superstar in the public eye!"

"I see. Being an actor is good, being a star is not bad either. This definitely deserves support." Compared to the investment, finance, and startup circles, where one could potentially lose their entire fortune overnight...
The entertainment industry undoubtedly carries the least risk.

He vividly remembered a quote from that top-rated lecturer:

If you feel your descendants lack ability, then don't let them get involved in the management of the celestial abode; sending them into the entertainment industry is the best solution.

This wasn't something the lecturer made up; it was something Jiang Chen told him.

After all, that's what the wealthy merchants on Earth did in their previous life: the outstanding descendants went into business, while the unpromising ones were all thrown into the entertainment industry.

"But nephew, we don't know anything about the entertainment industry. Besides giving you some money, there's nothing we can do to help you."

"Second Uncle, do you support me becoming an actor too?!"

Ao Yin was overjoyed to have the support of the finance minister.

"Of course, if you want to be an actor, I happen to know Immortal Lord Ziyang. I can ask him to help you contact Director Xiaonan from Wansan Entertainment."

"Great!"

Ao Yin became increasingly excited:
"By the way, Second Uncle, Wan San Entertainment recently filmed a tokusatsu series called 'Armor Hero.' Could you ask me if there are any other main actors in the series?"

His words almost startled Ao Bai again.

Who doesn't know Armor Hero these days?

"Armor Hero? And he's going to star in it? Nephew, how can you be so shameless?"

"Is Armor Hero a project you can get involved in?"

"You've never even acted in a short drama before, and you want to play the lead role in this wildly popular series? Do you think Wan San Group is owned by our family, or do you think your father is President Jiang Chen?"

"Besides, the script has already been finalized, and even if there are other armors, the lead actors have probably already been chosen."

"Don't even mention that I can't do it. Even if I could, I wouldn't be able to open my mouth to do it."

Hear this.

Ao Yin's face revealed an undisguised expression of disappointment.

"Well, I acted impulsively and didn't think things through. Now it seems like I was being a bit delusional."

Seeing Ao Yin's sudden dejection, Ao Bai couldn't bear to speak:

"How about this, Uncle will try to get you into Idol Producer as a trainee first, okay?"

"But remember, don't reveal your real identity yet. I'll buy some marketing accounts to hype you up so you can debut first, and then you can take on acting roles."

"what?"

Ao Yin was taken aback at first, then his expression didn't improve much either:
"How long would that take? And by then, even if there are other main actors in Armor Hero, they'll probably all be on screen."

"Forget it, Uncle. It seems I'm not cut out to be an actor."

"I should just focus on cultivating and learn how to start a business, so I can help the Immortal Mansion in other ways later."

"By the way, Second Uncle, how about you let me work as a manager in our Holy Dragon Immortal Crystal Mine Management Bureau?"

Ao Yin had barely finished speaking.

Ao Bai's expression changed drastically in an instant!
The Immortal Crystal Mine Administration Bureau is a core industry of the Holy Dragon Immortal Realm and the economic lifeline of the Holy Dragon Immortal Mansion!

If we let his incompetent nephew participate in management, he might just ruin it.

Thinking of this, he immediately gritted his teeth.

"How about this, I'll try to contact them again and see if I can make some connections. If the president agrees, it's not entirely hopeless for you to be the lead actor in the armor role."

After saying that, he picked up his phone again and dialed the number of Immortal Lord Ziyang.

Ao Bai wants the president's contact information?
Immortal Lord Ziyang didn't hide anything and just gave it to him.

Anyway, the president doesn't mind giving his contact information to others; on the contrary, he implies that he really hopes the higher-ups from various immortal realms will take the initiative to contact him.

"By the way, Immortal Lord, do you know what the President usually likes and dislikes?"

"Preferences?" Immortal Lord Ziyang thought for a moment: "I don't have any particularly obvious preferences, but I am indeed quite interested in immortal crystals."

Is it a fairy crystal?
After obtaining their contact information.

The uncle and nephew both tensed up immediately.

He was anxious about whether his dream of becoming an actor would come true.

One is anxious about whether their business will go bankrupt.

As soon as the phone was connected.

He said in a fawning tone:
"I hope I didn't disturb you, President."

"Yes, yes, I am the Minister of Finance of the Holy Dragon Immortal Realm."

"Haha, no, no, I wouldn't dare."

"It's like this, I have a good-for-nothing nephew."

"Yes, you guessed right, he does want to enter the entertainment industry."

"Recently, Wan San Entertainment has a tokusatsu series called Armor Hero. President, do you think there are any other main actors who haven't appeared yet?"

"Yes, there are, but several Immortal Lords have already personally approached you. That does indeed present a difficult situation."

"President, our Holy Dragon Immortal Domain is too vast. There is a top-grade immortal crystal mine that no one is managing. If you don't mind the trouble, could you take over the mining for us for ten years?"

"Haha, of course. You share the burden with us, so the immortal stones mined here are naturally yours to receive."

"Thank you so much, President! I will definitely make him work hard and act well, so as not to embarrass Armor Hero! If he dares to cause any scandals, I will personally cripple him."

"Okay, okay, President, you go ahead and do your thing."

After hanging up the phone.

Ao Bai then turned his gaze to Ao Yin, whose face was full of anticipation.

"It's all settled. You're the next Earth Tiger Hero after Armor Hero. I'll send you the script on Douyin later."

Seeing the latter's excited expression, Ao Bai immediately instructed:
"This is an opportunity your uncle got by trading a celestial stone mine. You better perform well and don't cause any scandals."

"Second Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely be a good actor and strive to become a Best Actor this year!"

"Go, prepare well, and don't say you're the Third Prince of the Holy Dragon Immortal Mansion before you become famous."

"okay!"

After saying this, Ao Yin left the place excitedly and went back to study acting seriously.

at the same time.

Jiang Chen's phone was practically ringing off the hook.

One after another, immortal lords, golden immortals, heads of major families, and leaders of major immortal sects called him.
All for the sake of securing a role for their descendants in Armor Hero.

They are willing to offer various benefits for this.

"The dragons are really generous. They just casually offer top-grade immortal crystal ore. Tsk, I feel like there's still room for them to squeeze more out of us."

In fact, the Holy Dragon Immortal Realm is not at a loss either.

In today's era where traffic is king, if Ao Yin can really use this to enter the entertainment industry and grow into a movie star,

The enhancement of a family's and immortal sect's influence is in no way inferior to cultivating an immortal emperor.

Faced with these phone calls.

Jiang Chen answered each call one by one.

"Sorry, the male lead has already been cast. How about the supporting male role, which will also have frequent screen time?"

"It's Immortal Lord Lieyang. Your daughter wants to play the lead role. It seems she's never acted before. How about we give her the mining rights to a mid-grade immortal stone vein for 30 years? That's fine. Nobody's born knowing how to act. She'll get more experience."

"Sorry, we don't have the male and female leads anymore, so now we only have mutant beasts left. Mutant beasts are fine too?"

"Uh, are you sure? You want extras too?"
