This Uchiha is too popular

"Well... naturally, we are willing."

Night smiled and then said, "The Land of Fire is the most prosperous place in the ninja world. How could any ambitious merchant allow themselves to miss out on this place?"

"Konoha is the most important place in the Land of Fire."

He began by saying, "I've heard a lot about Konoha in the past, so I decided to do business here."

"So, what do you intend to do?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi neither confirmed nor denied Ye's statement, but simply asked a question.

"Cigarettes, I'm going to make cigarettes."

Ye took out the prepared cigarettes from her pocket.

This is a sample he prepared well in advance.

Before coming to Konoha, he had already acquired several cigarette factories in the Land of Fire. He had already accumulated a batch of goods and was just waiting for Hiruzen Sarutobi to agree so that he could start distributing the goods immediately.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took the cigarette case from Yoru's hand and examined it carefully.

The cigarette box in front of him was exquisite; the difference was evident just from the packaging. It was not in the same league as the loose cigarettes sold in the market.

"These cigarettes probably aren't cheap, are they?"

He couldn't help but ask.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is also a long-time smoker.

When he has nothing to do, he likes to sit there smoking his big pipe.

However, it is obvious that the cigarettes he smoked were homemade loose tobacco, which was simply a way of using tobacco directly.

As for such exquisite cigarettes, this was the first time Hiruzen Sarutobi had ever seen them.

"It's just a little more expensive than the market price."

Night did not set the price too high.

He wasn't prepared to do that, at least not before monopolizing the market.

With Youming's savings backing him, he has plenty of cash on hand, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't make much profit in the short term.

After all, people need time to accept this.

Once we've monopolized most of the market and everyone's gotten used to the taste, it's not too late to gradually raise prices.

Night is very patient with this.

"It's a good product; it feels much better than what you get elsewhere."

Hiruzen Sarutobi tried smoking a few and found them to be pretty good.

"If possible, I would also like to ask the Third Generation Lord to help promote my work."

Ye respectfully said, "If the Third Generation Lord is willing, we can consider this contract."

He took out a pre-prepared contract and handed it to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took it and looked at it, then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Exclusive spokesperson?"

For Hiruzen Sarutobi, this was a very novel term.

The world's commodity economy hasn't reached that stage yet, and Hiruzen Sarutobi had never encountered anything like spokespeople before.

But when he saw the amount, he was immediately stunned: "So much money?"

The price offered at night is quite high.

The contract offered to hire Hiruzen Sarutobi as his spokesperson was worth the equivalent of four or five S-rank missions.

With so much money, it's enough to hire Hiruzen Sarutobi as a spokesperson, or even to hire the Hokage to kill someone.

After all, the so-called Hokage is just the leader of a mercenary group.

"With so much money, are you sure you don't need me to do anything for you?"

After thinking for a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally spoke up to confirm.

As the Hokage, he hadn't taken action for many years.

But if the reward is really that generous, then it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to lend a hand occasionally.

"These things don't require the Hokage's intervention. The Hokage only needs to occasionally attend some events to help promote our Yeming Group."

Ye spoke respectfully, saying this at this moment.

He didn't think the price was expensive at all.

Who is Hiruzen Sarutobi?

This is the leader of the Land of Fire, one of the five strongest ninja villages in the ninja world.

If we were to translate that into his previous life, it would be equivalent to the lifelong leader of one of the world's five major powers.

Considering that Konoha's overall strength is likely to be the greatest, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the leader of the world's strongest nation.

If it were in my past life, you couldn't hire someone like that as your spokesperson, no matter how much money you had.

Compared to the benefits of hiring Hiruzen Sarutobi as a spokesperson, the amount of money Yoru paid was negligible in his eyes.

Not only can you directly use Hiruzen Sarutobi for advertising, leveraging his fame to promote your company and products, but there are also many hidden benefits.

Putting everything else aside, just within Konoha Village, having Hiruzen Sarutobi as your spokesperson, who else would dare to make things difficult for you?

The Hokage himself has publicly endorsed the Yeming Group, so how dare you target them?

Even looking at the entire Land of Fire, the daimyo of the Land of Fire has to give them face.

After all, even the so-called Daimyo of the Land of Fire essentially needs the Hokage's support to maintain his rule.

Even the Daimyo must show sufficient respect to the Hokage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi carefully examined the contract, and after confirming that there seemed to be no problem with it, he finally signed his name.

"Then, I wish you a prosperous business."

He reached out and shook hands with Ye.

Having secured Hiruzen Sarutobi's endorsement and autograph, Yoru acted swiftly.

In just one night, posters and photos of the Third Hokage holding a cigarette were quickly posted all over Konoha Village, attracting a lot of attention in a short period of time.

"Smoke a cigarette made with the night-shining light, and enjoy the same taste as the Hokage!"

Are you still smoking cheap cigarettes? Come and enjoy the new cigarettes with the Hokage!

"Night-Shining Cigarettes, highly recommended by the Hokage!"

In a short period of time, all sorts of promotional slogans were put out.

Of course, this is just ordinary publicity.

In order to suppress its competitors as soon as possible and accelerate market expansion, Ye shamelessly resorted to a combination of defamation.

"Inferior cigarettes contain various harmful substances, and long-term use can significantly increase the mortality rate!"

"Konoha Hospital publicly certified that long-term use is harmful to health!"

"Long-term use of low-quality cigarettes can lead to impotence and infertility!"

"Secondhand smoke from low-quality cigarettes can cause intellectual disability in infants!"

..............

With a series of combined moves, Nightlight Cigarettes seized the market, leaving its competitors scrambling to escape.

Smokers are filled with anxiety, fearing that smoking substandard cigarettes may indeed cause health problems, and are rushing to embrace Nightlight cigarettes.

As for doubt?

Three generations of officials have publicly endorsed it, how can you not believe it?

Even if you don't trust the Yeming Group, you should still trust the Third Generation Lord!

Throughout the entire process, Ye remained behind the scenes, watching with amusement as her own cigarettes' market share steadily increased.

As for spreading rumors and false advertising?

There's no law against it in this world, and in most places it's not even that common, so it's not really a problem.

And to some extent, what he said wasn't exactly false advertising.

The quality of those inferior homemade tobaccos is indeed terrible, and long-term smoking can easily lead to problems.

This isn't really false advertising.
