Not Killing People = a Conscience in the Industry?
After seeing Liu Hui off, Tang Ping stretched and yawned, his muscles and bones cracking with pleasure, feeling completely refreshed.
After a short rest, he made up his mind to go into seclusion and cultivate himself.
However, before going into seclusion, one should first check if there are any problems with one's business empire.
The Luo Family has been living peacefully for years. However, after Luo Feng led the army of the Virtual Universe Company Ganwu Branch to massacre the royal family of a medium-sized Universe Country a few years ago, this former Earth genius has completely disappeared.
Although its whereabouts are unknown, its fame continues to grow.
The occasional glimpses of battle were enough to terrify the entire universe. Luo Feng on the battlefield was like a demon crawling out of purgatory, his bloody brutality was appalling.
He could rip out hearts with his bare hands, smash bodies, and crush skulls; every move he made exuded a ruthless and destructive power.
If his title of "Madman" during the previous Genius Tournament still carried a hint of youthful arrogance, now, among the various races of the universe, the names "Ganwu Demon," "Ganwu Bully," and "Ganwu Butcher" have long been circulating, causing all who hear them to turn pale.
It is precisely because of this chilling deterrent power that no one has dared to maliciously short-sell Luo Family Concept Stocks in recent years.
Various Universe Country and Virtual Universe Company have extended olive branches to the Luo Family's businesses, with investments and collaborations following one after another. All businesses have received the green light, and the empire has expanded like a snowball, with the stock price steadily climbing.
Decades later, Tang Ping's assets quietly increased again:
[Lay Flat Finance | Total Assets: 7740 Hunyuan | 50-Year Return: 20%]
[Lay Flat Capital | Total Assets: 1500 Hunyuan | 50-Year Return: 20%]
Looking at the numbers on the terminal, Tang Ping's lips curled into a playful smile.
But what about him? He didn't have to do anything. He just went into seclusion a few times, took a few naps, and when he woke up, wealth came to him automatically.
Moreover, if he doesn't make that money, someone else will. The world of finance is always more covert and more brutal than the real battlefield.
In addition, his long-standing commitment to the Earth Real Estate business has also seen a series of successes in recent years. This vast amount of land is not intended for building ordinary houses; he intends to develop the maternal and infant industry.
A few years ago, Lay Flat Finance, which he owned 100%, established a maternal and infant company called "Heavenly Pride Hometown". Its core business was simple yet absurd: to provide countless aliens in the Ganwu Universe Kingdom with production services that were "from the same hometown as Luo Feng".
The logic of all races in the universe is simple: a planet capable of giving birth to a peerless genius like Luo Feng must possess some special fortune or environment. If it can produce one Luo Feng, why can't it produce a second one in the future? And this lucky one might just be their own child!
Capitalizing on this psychology, "Heavenly Pride Hometown" (a pseudonym) built a vast number of maternity wards, Maternity Center, and star-rated hotels on Earth, all adapted to various alien races. These facilities simulated extreme environments: the deep sea, volcanoes, deserts, and high-ray zones.
No matter what race of aliens they are, they can all find the most suitable place here for them to give birth and nurture their fetuses.
Tang Ping has even set up large-scale maternity centers in dozens of star systems around Earth, which are expected to be able to accommodate tens of millions of extraterrestrial mothers giving birth at the same time each year.
Currently, the company only offers two services:
First, there's the "All-Inclusive Genius Package," which covers everything from pregnancy and childbirth to postpartum care, including all meals, accommodation, and surgery fees, all for a flat price of 100,000,000 Ganwu Coin, making the child a "fellow villager of Luo Feng."
The second is "basic production services," which only provides access to Earth, adapts to delivery rooms, and provides production assistance. Other costs are borne by the customer. Although the price is low, it is extremely complicated.
Initially, Tang Ping wanted to target the high-end market, catering only to the wealthy. However, he didn't expect that those rich and powerful nobles simply didn't believe in this "theory of destiny."
On the contrary, the middle class with some spare money, and even many poor people who had given up everything, flocked to this "genius opportunity." Seeing this, Tang Ping simply changed direction, focusing on the low-end market and taking the path of small profits and quick turnover.
Despite the overwhelming amount of advertising, "Heavenly Pride Hometown" is barely breaking even, and many of its maternity wards and Maternity Center remain vacant.
But Tang Ping wasn't worried at all. Although he used the most advanced intelligent housekeeping robots, the annual electricity and maintenance costs would be astronomical for ordinary people, but they were nothing to him.
What he wants now is not to make money, but to build a good reputation. Even if it means losing money, he wants to achieve a positive review rate of over 99%.
As for why it can't be 100%?
Tang Ping really had no other choice.
There are all sorts of birds in a big forest. With the current technology for pregnancy and childbirth in the universe, the absurdity of some aliens is simply mind-blowing.
This is Extreme Point!
But no one expected that after this incident spread, the reputation of "Heavenly Pride Hometown" would explode.
The Ganwu Universe Kingdom is praising this company for its kindness: despite being backed by the Luo Family and possessing immense wealth and power, they've allowed this unreasonable person to live until now, regardless of right or wrong. Other forces would have likely dealt with them quietly long ago.
As a result, those who were previously hesitant placed orders one after another, hoping to give their children a chance to become "geniuses from the same hometown".
When Tang Ping learned of the effectiveness of this reverse marketing campaign, he was both amused and exasperated.
Since Luo Feng returned, how many heinous crimes have the Luo Family committed outside that have made everyone think that "not killing indiscriminately" is the same as being kind?
Shaking his head, Tang Ping was too lazy to dwell on these trivial matters any longer.
Anyway, they didn't offend me, and it won't be long before that fierce Luo Feng will take care of those scumbags in the Luo Family.
Hopefully, those who were jumping around so enthusiastically won't be crying and regretting it later.
After finishing his work at the company, Tang Ping leaned back in his chair, his fingertips swiping across his Personal Terminal. He first sent messages to his two wives, his tone full of smug teasing:
The message to Huo Wu was. "My dear wife, your husband is going into seclusion to try and reach an even higher realm! He'll let you experience a Grand Slam then!"
He then texted Luo Xiaoyu: "Xiao Yu Xiaoyu, guess what I'm going to do? That's right, I'm going into seclusion to train! Don't secretly practice judo on your own~"
After sending the message, Tang Ping smiled mischievously before slowly switching interfaces to assign tasks to the newly acquainted elves. These were all Elf jobs involving organizing data and managing the cave dwellings, but the pay was exceptionally generous.
Upon receiving the notification, the little Elf immediately sent a series of heartfelt thank-you messages, saying they would repay Tang Ping properly.
Spending Master's money to do his own thing, and incidentally getting benefits for his friends—this is the perfect way to be a disciple!
Having arranged everything, Tang Ping calmed his mind and entered a deep state of seclusion once again.
In his spare time, he would venture into the Deep Cold Cavern of the Journey world, honing his will and comprehending the laws amidst the biting cold and raging energy currents.
