Chapter 1146 Invite Them All to Taste the Wine

I have a suggestion.

A young man immediately stepped forward and showed his phone to John Doe, News travels fast through the internet these days. Once an item being promoted online is received well by netizens, it will be widely accepted. For example, a bowl-smas.h.i.+ng wine concept has gone viral on the internet recently because people like the idea that they can smash the wine bowl into pieces after drinking it. This kind of network advertising effect can be powerful, but online advertising has only a limited outreach. The We Business Model is one of the most efficient approaches of making our business widely known!

After he spoke, the young man found that everyone was giving him strange looks.

Dont look at me like that. You must have frequently seen ads for two specific cosmetics recently. It is the amazing result of our efforts with the We Business Model. Though Tsunami is a magical platform, it can only attract some people. The We Business Model sounds like a pyramid selling scheme, but it is not a scam because we sell real products. As long as we do well in multi-level marketing, we can win over the rights to advertise Heaven Dew on Central Television!

While the young man gave his impa.s.sioned speech, his eyes glowed fervently. He looked every inch a young talent who was a product of pyramid schemes.

Pow!

Li Boqing walked straight toward him, mercilessly slapped him on the head, and scolded, Kid, throw the trash out of your mind! Ill break your legs if your fanciful theories about spiritual victory and pyramid sales affect the other brothers.

Everyone burst into laughter.

They all knew that this guy had been trying various methods from the We Business Model to make money and that he had been conned. In fact, he himself was aware that others on WeChat could buy the same item from other online vendors at only half of the price he offered. However, if he didnt set his prices at high levels, he couldnt make any money at all. This was a typical phenomenon of pyramid selling schemes.

Ha-ha.

He Gaomings laughter sounded as he said to everyone, Do you want to know the secret of John Does fast progress? Try Heaven Dew!

Hearing that, Fang Qiu was speechless.

However, because of He Gaomings words, everyone turned to look at John Doe with curiosity. One after another, they bombarded him with questions.

......

The oldest, what is the secret behind your rapid progress?

Yeah, were so eager to know the answer.

Ive been curious for a long time. Why dont you tell us directly?

He was inundated with all kinds of inquiries at the same time.

Surrounded by these guys who were eager to know the answer, Fang Qiu shook his head gently and said, There are geniuses in this world, and there is a genius who is more than willing to endure all kinds of hards.h.i.+ps!

Everyone knew John Doe was talking about himself.

They believed John Doe was a genius, which was already a well-known fact in the whole of Wulin. However, for the hards.h.i.+ps, they had some doubts.

They continued their discussion.

Some suggested they should advertise Heaven Dew on the Wulin online forum. Some suggested adding attractive packaging to Heaven Dew, and then they could make it a high-end international brand and set up a company. After all, this medicinal wine was not only beneficial to Wulin people but also effective for ordinary people. Drinking it could build up their strength, nourish their kidneys to strengthen their Qi, and prolong their lives!

However, all suggestions were ultimately rejected.

After discussing it for a long time, they still had no good solution.

Lets do this.

While the others were in the midst of a lively discussion about which method was more practical, Fang Qiu said, How about holding a wine tasting party?

Hum?

Everyone was stunned.

Send out invitations to all Wulin people. They can place their orders right at the party!

Fang Qiu concluded with this suggestion.

Everyones eyes lit up.

Good idea!

He Gaoming took the lead in applauding and said, When Wulin people arrive at the scene and find out the great effects of the wine, they will place their orders immediately. Upon receiving their orders, we will start making the wine. In this way, we can cut our costs by reducing advertising expenses. In addition, those Wulin people attending the party will in turn introduce Heaven Dew to all the other Wulin people by word of mouth. Then a continuous stream of wine orders will come in!

Thinking of this promising prospect, everyone nodded eagerly.

Thats settled then.

Fang Qiu said with a nod, Im going to prepare invitation cards. Ill write them and you guys send them out. The party, for the time being, is scheduled for next week. You should finish making all the wine for the wine tasting party beforehand!

Buy the top-quality distilled spirits as the base first. The party needs at least 100 jars of wine, and you must check each jar personally. Dont make any mistakes, Fang Qiu said to He Gaoming.

Trust me. I will do it well.

He Gaoming patted his chest and promised.

You can keep all of the herbs in the distilled liquor while making the wine. But when the wine is done, remember not to show the full medicinal herbs when you transfer the medicated wine into separate jars. There are so many shrewd masters in Wulin. If any of them finds out what the secret recipe is, Heaven Dew will lose its market value.

Fang Qiu reminded him.

Understood.

He Gaoming nodded immediately.

Let some other brothers send the invitation cards.

Fang Qiu turned to look at the crowd and said.

Good.

Everyone nodded.

Soon, He Gaoming ran downstairs and bought a lot of blank invitation cards.

Fang Qiu began to write on them.

He was fast.

He soon finished writing all the invitations. Then he distributed the invitation cards to the other brothers, each of whom was responsible for delivering cards within one area.

Right after the invitation cards were done, they split up.

Each of them went to deliver the invitations in the area under their charge. He Gaoming went out to buy the base wine. Beijiang was Fang Qius destination, where he would wait in the cultivation base for He Gaoming.

One day later, He Gaoming arrived in Beijiang.

When the herbs in Beijiang were all ready, all those in Nanjiang were almost processed. To speed up, Fang Qiu had to let He Gaoming wait in Beijiang and prepare the wine-making tools while he flew to Nanjiang in person.

Fang Qiu came back with the processed dendrobe.

Then he began to work with He Gaoming.

...

Meanwhile...

In Wulin, the major forces and well-known families were in an uproar.

In Nanjiang, Diwu Mingchuan and Diwu Qian were taking a walk in their family garden.

Master, Miss, John Doe sent an invitation.

A maid suddenly ran over.

Who?

Diwu Mingchuan was stunned.

John Does invitation card?

Diwu Qian also walked up with a curious look. She took the invitation card from the maid and said, Okay, you can go now.

The maid turned around and left.

What is John Doe up to?

Diwu Mingchuan raised his eyebrows and said, Our Diwu Great Family has some connection with John Doe, but most of the things this guy does are always unexpected. Open it quickly. Lets see what he is going to do. Is he only inviting us or all the major forces?

A wine tasting party?

Diwu Qian opened the invitation card, slightly taken aback, and she said, One week later, John Doe will hold a wine tasting party on Mount Hua. All the distinguished people from all the major Wulin families and forces are invited to try the wine!

Hum?

Diwu Mingchuan was stunned and asked, What does he mean? Try wine? What is the wine tasting party about?

I dont know either.

Diwu Qian smiled wryly and said, If we take his invitation literally, it means hes inviting us for a drink. But John Doe wont do anything that simple, so I guess he must have something else in mind.

Well, I agree. We should go and have a look.

Diwu Mingchuan nodded in agreement.

...

John Doe is inviting Wulin masters to taste wine together?

Xi Shaolin, the youngest master of the Xi family, was the first in his family to receive the news. He had met Fang Qiu before, when he had been gathering information for his family in recent years.

What is John Doe going to do?

When he heard Xi Shaolins report, Xi Fengling put down the prayer beads in his hand and said, Id like to see what John Doe wants to do, but Ive been in religious practice for years, so I wont go there to sample the wine. Its not good for our family to be absent from such a grand occasion. You go there on behalf of the Xi family.

Okay.

Xi Shaolin nodded.

...

The Qian familys courtyard was located in the capital.

The courtyard was as heavily guarded as a military base: there were even soldiers standing guard outside. It seemed that this family had some connections with the army.

That was true. If they did not have any special and important relations.h.i.+ps, how could the Qian family hold their ground in the capital?

Master, this is an invitation from John Doe.

A servant handed the invitation card to Patriarch Qian.

Oh, John Doe?

Patriarch Qian was obviously startled, and then asked in surprise, Why would he send an invitation card to me?

Confused, he opened the invitation card and took a look.

A week later, a wine tasting party on Mount Hua?

Seeing this, Patriarch Qian burst out laughing and murmured, John Doe has sent out so many invitations. With his current matchless status in Wulin, there should be a lot of people attending this banquet. But whats the point of this wine tasting banquet? Well, Im afraid Elder Zhan, a boozer, would not be able to resist the temptation at all!

...

The Zhan family was also located in the capital.

Grandpa.

Zhan Lin walked into the bamboo house and looked at Elder Zhan who was resting on a summer sleeping mat on the bamboo platform. She stepped forward and greeted him. As she handed over the invitation card, she said, In a week, John Doe will hold a wine tasting party on Mount Hua. He has invited almost all the forces in Wulin and some powerful masters who belong to no forces. There should be a lot of people attending it.

A wine tasting party?

Elder Zhan opened his eyes in surprise, rolled his eyes happily, and then straightened up with a smile. He took the invitation card from Zhan Lin, licked his lips, raised the wine gourd in his hand, and took a sip from it. He smacked his lips and said, I didnt expect that this guy also likes drinking and has invited so many people to enjoy his wine. Then he must have something good!

This time, I have to go and have a try.

...

In addition to the Four Great Families, many had received his invitation cards; for instance, the Pear Garden, Chic Cloud Pavilion, which was an auction agency in the capital, the Peace Faction, Sword Fanatic, etc.

Besides, those top-notch forces, small- and medium-sized forces, independent cultivators who had interacted with John Doe, and the top ten young and brilliant martial arts pract.i.tioners had all received his invitations.

For a time, John Does invitation to the wine party had become the hottest topic in Wulin.

They were curious about why John Doe would hold such a party. What was the purpose of this party? Would it really be as simple as sharing good wine?

Of course not!

Driven by intense curiosity, all the people and forces who received the invitation decided to attend the party and find out for themselves.

After all, it was a big event in Wulin.
