A Huge Loss Is a Huge Profit!

Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce is incurring huge losses every day.

Given the enormous losses suffered by the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, even the Grand Elder sent people to the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce to inquire about Qin Xiangqian's next steps.

However, before the Grand Elder's men could even leave the Vast Heaven Holy Land, they were stopped by Senior Brother Xinghe.

Senior Brother Xinghe assured the Grand Elder that everything was under control!

The Grand Elder was naturally completely reassured that Xinghe had everything under control.

Whether the Grand Elder was at ease or not, Qin Xiangqian didn't know; Qin Xiangqian was in a complete panic right now!

You must understand that although I, Qin Xiangqian, was able to become the president this time because of Senior Brother Xinghe's trust, it was also a mission undertaken in a time of crisis. This was also a test for me, Qin Xiangqian!

This will test whether I, Qin Xiangqian, can carve out a bloody path through this desperate situation.

But now, I, Qin Xiangqian, can't do anything. I can only watch helplessly as the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce suffers huge losses. Qin Xiangqian feels that he is somewhat incompetent as the president of the chamber.

But Lu Chengqing's words awakened Qin Xiangqian.

Lu Chengqing said, "Old Qin, as Senior Brother Xinghe's second most trusted confidant, your status is even above mine Lu Chengqing, who is Senior Brother Xinghe Senior Brother Ma Liang's first most trusted confidant!"

But you've fallen into depravity!

You're too close to the situation to see things clearly!

You, Old Qin, don't even know Senior Brother Xinghe as well as I do. Since Senior Brother Xinghe chose you as the president, he certainly didn't choose you to be the scapegoat. We all know that.

Then Senior Brother Xinghe must have prepared a way out for you, and may have even told you about it beforehand...

What the hell? You said you didn't hear me?

Old Qin... Senior Brother Xinghe is testing you...

What? If Senior Brother Xinghe explains everything to you clearly and explicitly, then who is the guild leader, you or Senior Brother Xinghe?

Senior Brother Xinghe will give you guidance, but he certainly won't explain it in detail, because this is also a test for you to become the president.

But now it seems you, Old Qin, are in danger...

Look at what you've done since you became the president, Old Qin!

If you're still doing the same thing you did before, then what's the point of being the president?

Senior Brother Xinghe wants you to turn the tide, but you can't even understand the guidance Senior Brother Xinghe's giving you, let alone turn the tide. How can you hold onto your position as president for long?

Qin Xiangqian in a cold sweat after hearing what Lu Chengqing said, because Qin Xiangqian knew Lu Chengqing was right!

Senior Brother Xinghe promoted me, Qin Xiangqian, to president at this critical moment. Isn't this a case of being entrusted with a mission in a time of crisis, allowing me to turn the tide?

But what have I done now?

Forget about what to do, I don't even understand what Senior Brother Xinghe needs me to do. If this continues, my position as president is really in danger.

So after much thought, Qin Xiangqian returned to Vast Heaven Holy Land. Qin Xiangqian first thought was to go find Senior Brother Xinghe and ask for further guidance.

But in the end, Qin Xiangqian gave up... because if he continued to seek guidance from Senior Brother Xinghe at this point, wouldn't it make him, Qin Xiangqian, seem extremely incompetent?

Did this greatly disappoint Senior Brother Xinghe?

So after much consideration, Qin Xiangqian sought out his Senior Brother Ma Liang!

Qin Xiangqian, the second most trusted Senior Brother Xinghe, has found Ma Liang, Senior Brother Xinghe!

Recently, the Grand Elder needed to stabilize his cultivation after his breakthrough, so most of the sect's inspection missions were handled by Ma Liang.

Although Ma Liang was busy with various official duties of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, Ma Liang kept a close eye on everything concerning the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce.

When Qin Xiangqian came to him for help, Ma Liang was so angry he almost wet himself!

"What the hell? Old Qin, you still don't know what Senior Brother Xinghe is planning to do next? What are you good for? Don't you understand what Senior Brother Xinghe means?"

"Senior Brother Ma Liang... I... I'm so slow-witted..."

"I think you're not just dull-witted, you've been blinded by the position of chairman!" Ma Liang said, looking at him with a disappointed expression.

Despite his anger, Ma Liang told Qin Xiangqian, who had come to him for help, "Just wait and see... My position Ma Liang Senior Brother Xinghe's number one confidant is absolutely unshakeable by anyone!"

Recently, Senior Brother Xinghe has been promoting Qin Xiangqian in various ways, and he hasn't even said a word about the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce's huge losses. Many people are saying that Qin Xiangqian is trending towards surpassing me, Ma Liang, to become Senior Brother Xinghe's number one confidant?

At this moment, Ma Liang realized he was completely wrong!

My position as Ma Liang's most trusted confidant is even more secure than the position of Yuan Ying's most devoted sycophant!

Qin Xiangqian wants to replace me as my top confidant? That's ridiculous! Look at Old Qin, it's been so long, and he still hasn't figured out what Senior Brother Xinghe is planning. What does that say?

This shows that Old Qin's understanding of Senior Brother Xinghe is far less than mine, Ma Liang's. I, Ma Liang, will always be Senior Brother Xinghe's number one confidant!

Ma Liang said, "Old Qin, I'll help you this time. Now let's analyze carefully what Senior Brother Xinghe has been saying to you recently. Senior Brother Xinghe's true meaning is definitely hidden in his words. This is a test for you, but you just didn't understand it before!"

Facing Senior Brother Ma Liang, Qin Xiangqian did not hide anything and told him all about his previous conversations with Senior Brother Ma Liang Senior Brother Xinghe!

Ma Liang was also carefully analyzing every word Senior Brother Xinghe for Qin Xiangqian!

When Qin Xiangqian mentioned the last words Senior Brother Xinghe had said to him, Ma Liang's eyes lit up!

Are you sure that Senior Brother Xinghe told you back then meant a huge loss was actually a huge gain?

Qin Xiangqian nodded to indicate that it was absolutely true...

Don't you think there's something wrong with that statement? How can a huge loss be considered a huge gain?

Ma Liang spoke again, and Qin Xiangqian was stunned by what Ma Liang said this time!

That's why it's said that Senior Brother Ma Liang is Senior Brother Xinghe's most trusted confidant.

When Qin Xiangqian first heard this sentence, he didn't think much of it. Qin Xiangqian took it as Senior Brother Xinghe of comforting him and telling him not to feel guilty.

But at this moment, after Senior Brother Ma Liang's analysis, even Qin Xiangqian felt that something was wrong!

Because Senior Brother Ma Liang said is correct. What does it mean that a big loss is a big gain?

This is clearly not right!

A big loss is a big loss; how can you expect to make a big profit?

So, doesn't that sentence sound really strange?

"Could it be... that Senior Brother Xinghe means... the secret to making a fortune is actually hidden within a huge loss?" Ma Liang began his analysis again!

"This... this is impossible..." Qin Xiangqian was dumbfounded... how could there be a huge profit amidst such a huge loss?

"Then tell me, why did Senior Brother Xinghe say that a big loss is a big gain?" Ma Liang asked with absolute certainty!

Qin Xiangqian fell into deep thought...

"Old Qin, what do you think is the biggest way to lose money right now?"

"The biggest way to lose money? That might be selling spirit stones?"

The so-called "selling of spirit stones" refers to the spirit stone section of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce.

The Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce has many areas, but the Spirit Stone Area is a very unique one.

In other areas, you use spirit stones to buy various items, but only in the spirit stone area do you buy various items with spirit stones!

The reason why the spirit stone zone exists is because of the Rogue Cultivators throughout the land.

As everyone knows, Rogue Cultivators risk their lives in various ruins and may obtain some good things.

Even if you manage to obtain something good, it doesn't mean that what you, as a Rogue Cultivator, get will necessarily suit you, right?

In most cases, what Rogue Cultivators obtain is something they simply cannot use themselves.

In this situation, the only thing Rogue Cultivator can do is try to sell these things and then use the spirit stones to buy all sorts of supplies they need.

There are countless unscrupulous merchants in the world, and they are ruthless when dealing with these Rogue Cultivators. They basically buy up all the treasures in the hands of these rogue Rogue Cultivators at about half the market price.

Some Rogue Cultivators even had their various treasures sold at rock-bottom prices or were swindled away.

After learning all this, Qin Xiangqian instructed the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce to open the Spirit Stone Zone.

The so-called Spirit Stone Zone is quite simple. The Spirit Stone Zone is where the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce buys unwanted items from all Rogue Cultivators at normal market prices using spirit stones, exchanges them for spirit stones, and then allows them to use the spirit stones to buy other things.

Therefore, Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce can be described as providing a one-stop service from buying to selling!

However, not long ago, due to the spirit stone despiking incident at the spirit mine, the spirit stones in everyone's hands are now almost becoming non-renewable resources.

Even if the Vast Heaven Holy Land has the Vast Heaven Divine Domain, it wouldn't dare to waste spirit stones so casually!

The Vast Heaven Divine Domain produces a lot of spirit stones, but the problem is that the disciples of the Vast Heaven Holy Land also consume a lot. Therefore, the spirit stones produced by the Vast Heaven Divine Domain are only enough for the disciples of the Vast Heaven Holy Land to use themselves.

Under these circumstances, Qin Xiangqian had no choice but to temporarily close the spirit stone area of Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce.

Not only Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, but now almost all chambers of commerce in the world have stopped using spirit stones to buy anything!

The price of spirit stones is currently changing daily, and has entered a period of rapid upward price movement.

For example, if you buy one material with one spirit stone today, you might buy five materials with one spirit stone tomorrow. Nobody knows how long this situation will continue.

Therefore, until the price of spirit stones stabilizes, it's impossible for anyone to use spirit stones to buy anything!

"This is it!" Ma Liang slammed his hand on the table, indicating that there was definitely nothing wrong with it!

"Senior Brother Ma Liang, this... we should talk to Senior Brother Xinghe about this. If we buy up all sorts of materials with a large amount of spirit stones now, and the price of spirit stones continues to rise, we'll still suffer huge losses!"

"Old Qin, you dare call yourself Senior Brother Xinghe's second most trusted confidant? Why did Senior Brother Xinghe promote you to guild leader? And why did he give you so many hints? If you don't even dare to do it yourself and have to ask Senior Brother Xinghe, tell me, isn't Senior Brother Xinghe disappointed?"

"But what if the price of spirit stones continues to rise..." Qin Xiangqian said with a worried expression.

Ma Liang: "But what if the price of spirit stones suddenly drops later?"

"This... this... this is true..." Qin Xiangqian fell silent, because Senior Brother Ma Liang was right. If the price of spirit stones continued to rise, he would suffer huge losses if he bought a large amount of supplies now, because what he could buy for ten spirit stones today might only be worth five or even less later.

But conversely, what if the price of spirit stones suddenly plummeted?

But the problem is, Qin Xiangqian can't find a reason for the sharp drop in spirit stones!

The problem is that what Senior Brother Xinghe said wasn't wrong either; a big loss is a big gain. If I miss this opportunity, wouldn't I be completely disappointing Senior Brother Xinghe?

As the saying goes, the bolder you are, the more you will achieve!

Qin Xiangqian nodded, indicating he would do it!

Senior Brother Xinghe, please rest assured, I, Old Qin, will definitely not let you down this Senior Brother Xinghe. Old Qin will make Senior Brother Xinghe understand that choosing me, Old Qin, as the guild Senior Brother Xinghe was absolutely the best decision you have ever made!
