Chapter 136: Investing One Million! Monopoly of Information!

Talking about business began.

The elders all became serious.

The Foreign Affairs Elder’s face was even more excited.

“Saint Master, the number of viewers for yesterday’s free class has reached a new high.

“Up to now, ninety percent of the users of Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator have already recharged their spirit stones for their Immortal Net Cloud Classroom accounts.

“The total number has reached five hundred and fifty million people!

“And the number of paying users for the refining class this morning and the sword cultivation introductory class at noon has exceeded three hundred million!

“Just now, the paid dual cultivation class by the Master of Acacia Sect officially started!

“I just checked, the number of paying users has exceeded four hundred million, and it is still growing, possibly approaching the record of five hundred million paying users created by Senior Gu yesterday!

“And in the evening, there will be a beginner’s body refining class hosted by the Master of Shaolin Temple!

“The viewing volume of yesterday’s body refining free class reached five hundred million!

“It is estimated that there will be at least three hundred million paying users!

“In other words, even if we deduct the share for the lecturers, the Immortal Net Cloud Classroom will earn more than sixty thousand top-grade spirit stones today!”

Listening to the data reported by the Foreign Affairs Elder, the elders were all amazed.

Sixty thousand top-grade spirit stones in a day, and it’s pure profit.

It’s simply unbelievable.

In a month, that’s a whopping one million eight hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones.

How was it making money?

It’s clearly robbing money.

And when Ye Chen heard this, he nodded in satisfaction.

Indeed, the saying “knowledge is power” was more appropriate in the cultivation world.

Whether it’s refining the spirit or refining the body, it greatly enhanced the strength of cultivators.

Courses like these that could significantly enhance one’s strength, most people would study them simultaneously.

Now the income of the Immortal Net Cloud Classroom completely surpassed the Immortal Net Auction House.

It would continue to rise in the future.

It’s very likely to earn two million top-grade spirit stones per month.

Satisfied, Ye Chen opened the Immortal Net Cloud Classroom and glanced at the live broadcast room of the Master of Acacia Sect.

Wow, it’s really lively.

Ye Chen listened casually for a few sentences and gained a lot.

It must be said that in this aspect, the cultivation world was far more extravagant than Earth.

He could spare some time to study it later.

Next time, he could use it to tease Senior Gu!

Next, the Foreign Affairs Elder talked about the development plan of the Immortal Net Cloud Classroom.

Heavenly Origin Sacred Land had already communicated with those lecturers and was about to launch more types of courses.

At the same time, advanced courses tailored for Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators would be launched in ten days.

The fees would be higher.

There would also be courses suitable for Golden Core Realm cultivators in the future.

In short, the future of the Immortal Net Cloud Classroom was very promising.

Ye Chen was also very satisfied with the arrangements of the Foreign Affairs Elder.

Although the Foreign Affairs Elder’s comprehension was not as good as Senior Gu’s, his execution was impeccable.

He could handle the requests smoothly and efficiently.

When the matter of the Immortal Net Cloud Classroom was finished, Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said, “I have a new idea that I want to discuss with everyone!”

At this, the elders all brightened up.

The Saint Master has a new idea again?

The terrifying income ability of the Immortal Net Auction House and the Immortal Net Cloud Classroom has already proven that once the Saint Master’s whimsical ideas are realized, it will bring huge income to Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.

The Saint Master’s new idea? What could it be?

Everyone looked at Ye Chen with anticipation.

And Ye Chen, while organizing his thoughts, said, “I plan to introduce a new service in the immortal world – express delivery!”

“Express delivery?” At this, all the elders furrowed their brows, unable to guess what it was.

They continued to look at Ye Chen expectantly, waiting for the his explanation.

“Simply put, it’s delivering goods for others!

“For example, if I’m in Heavenly Origin Sacred Land and want to send a gift to a friend in the Gu Clan.

“If I don’t have time, what should I do?

“Do I need to find someone to help deliver the goods?”

With that, Ye Chen looked at the elders.

But the Internal Affairs Elder was the first to speak without hesitation, “Saint Master can just find me. I’m very willing to do things for Saint Master!”

“I, I, I, I’ve been relatively free lately. If Saint Master has such a need, you must find me!”

“Saint Master, I, Old Wang, have teleportation techniques. I’m the fastest!”

Ye Chen’s mouth twitched…

Did I say I needed you to help with delivery?

And, Elder Wang.

As a dignified elder of the Refining Peak, how could you have stooped so low as to flatter like this!

Ye Chen waved his hand to stop the elders from expressing their loyalty.

At the same time, he realized that his metaphor was wrong.

As the Saint Master, he really didn’t need to consider these things.

“Let me rephrase that. Does anyone in the Sacred Land want to send a delivery?”

At this, the elders immediately understood.

The Foreign Affairs Elder promptly spoke up, “The Saint Master means that express delivery is for helping those who don’t have time!”

This summary was excellent.

Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction, “Exactly!”

“We will establish an express delivery company… Express Delivery Force.”

“In various immortal cities, towns, and near various sects in Great Yan Province, we will recruit a large number of cultivators responsible for sending and receiving deliveries.

“Through teleportation arrays, we will establish a huge express delivery logistics network throughout Grean Yan Prefecture.

“Cultivators in the Ice Bear City in the extreme north want to send gifts to friends in the extreme south.

“Just need to call for an express delivery person to pick up the gift.

“The gift will be uniformly distributed through the teleportation array!

“With the teleportation array, it will take at most two days for the gift to reach the hands of the recipient.

“This is the specific operation mode of express delivery!”

Listening to Ye Chen’s description, the elders all frowned.

Elder Wu, the Formation Master, frowned, “Saint Master, using teleportation arrays for express delivery? Teleportation arrays consume a lot of energy. From Ice Bear City to the extreme south, it will cost at least one top-grade spirit stone.”

“This cost, even a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator may not be willing to bear, let alone cultivators below the Golden Core Realm.

“And, the teleportation arrays in various immortal cities are not interconnected, and many immortal cities don’t even have teleportation arrays.

“It’s impossible to deliver within two days!”

Ye Chen smiled faintly, “Using a teleportation array for just one express delivery, of course, is a loss.

“But if there are a large number of deliveries, the transportation cost will be spread to the minimum!”

This explanation made sense.

But the problem was, would there be so many people using express delivery?

The situations that the Saint Master mentioned, the need for delivery, were definitely not common.

Ye Chen could tell what everyone was thinking from their expressions.

If express delivery was only for personal needs, then it was indeed not worth doing.

They wouldn’t earn much money.

But when online shopping was launched, everything would be different.

Earth was the same.

At the beginning, the express delivery companies on Earth were lukewarm.

But when online shopping became popular.

Express delivery directly entered an explosive period.

The annual volume of express delivery, reaching hundreds of billions, was astonishingly high.

There was no need to worry about too little business at all.

“You don’t need to worry about demand in this aspect. I have my own solution.

“At the same time, the Immortal Net Auction House will also use express delivery for distribution, which will share the cost.

“As for the issue of teleportation arrays!

“If there are none in the immortal cities, we will build them ourselves!

“Great Seal City is located in the center of Great Yan Province…

“Then let’s turn Great Seal City into a central city for express delivery!

“In various cities, there are also places where many cultivators gather. We will build a bidirectional teleportation array that connects Great Seal City.

“After collecting the express delivery every day, it will be sent to Great Seal City. After sorting in Great Seal City, it will be sent to different immortal cities and finally handed over to the express delivery personnel for distribution!”

Express delivery was a standard heavy asset industry.

The investment was huge.

Ye Chen had anticipated it early.

So he had already figured out a solution.

But the plan Ye Chen said made everyone widen their eyes.

This…

Elder Wu hesitated and said, “Saint Master, the cost of building a bidirectional teleportation array is extremely high. It costs as much as ten thousand top-grade spirit stones!

“According to your requirements, if bidirectional teleportation arrays are built in all the major cities and large gathering cities, it will cost at least three million top-grade spirit stones. Isn’t this investment too huge?

“Can express delivery really make so much money?”

Three million top-grade spirit stones!

It sounded like a lot.

It’s almost the profit of Heavenly Origin Sacred Land for ten years.

But for the current Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, it’s completely insignificant.

The Immortal Net Cloud Classroom would earn that in less than two months.

As for the issue of recouping the investment!

It might take a long time to earn back these investments with just the express delivery business alone.

But if they added the benefits that online shopping can create.

It’s easy to recoup.

It’s not a problem at all!

“There’s no need to worry about recouping the investment. I will introduce new products that are complementary to express delivery in the future, and the profits won’t be low!”

The issue of recouping the investment is not a concern.

Only when the Saint Master says so, does it have credibility.

Upon hearing this, everyone became hopeful.

What exactly does the Saint Master want to do? It requires the use of express delivery?

Elder Wu said so much, not to question, but to remind.

Seeing that Ye Chen was confident, he said expectantly, “Saint Master, how about letting me handle the construction of the teleportation array?”

“Although I can’t fight now, my proficiency in the art of formations is still there. With the disciples of the Formation Peak, we can complete the construction of these teleportation arrays in half a year!”

Half a year?

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows.

It would take half a year just to set up the teleportation arrays?

The Foreign Affairs Elder knew that Ye Chen was not familiar with the art of formations.

He quickly explained, “Saint Master, the difficulty of refining bidirectional teleportation arrays is extremely high. To ensure that nearly three hundred teleportation arrays are completed within half a year, Elder Wu’s speed is already incredible.”

Ye Chen nodded.

But this means that the express delivery business will take at least half a year to start.

For cultivators, half a year was naturally not considered a long time.

But Ye Chen felt it was too long.

Ye Chen didn’t have the patience to wait quietly for half a year.

So, let Elder Wu arrange the teleportation arrays first.

During the time of arranging the teleportation arrays, it’s also not wasted. It could be used to launch other products.

If the express delivery couldn’t be launched, then online shopping can only be shelved.

What else can be done?

Ye Chen lightly tapped the Golden Throne with his index finger, making a crisp sound.

Soon, there was a flash of inspiration.

How about launching an Immortal World version of Weibo?

Although the appearance of the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator has greatly increased the speed of information transmission in the cultivation world.

But there is still no information platform that aggregates information.

Cultivators still don’t have a quick way to get external information.

If Weibo is launched.

As long as cultivators open Weibo, they can know everything.

By taking a look at the hot topics, they can know the most lively events in the cultivation world.

There are many benefits.

The demand is huge!

Weibo is definitely promising!
