"Exactly! If those alchemists who can already kindle first-grade pill fire only need a little study and practice to refine second-grade pills, then who would still refine those first-grade pills with inferior effects?" Wei Zhao nodded. "After the second-grade automatic cauldron hits the market, we discount the first-grade automatic cauldrons. As for the second-grade cauldron's sales, do not worry about them for now—adopt a hunger-marketing strategy. Sell them only at auctions, not through the company."
"Understood." Han Jingyi followed Wei Zhao's arrangements completely. "That way, Kang Jingming will not be on guard against the second-grade automatic cauldron. He will think it is very difficult for us to manufacture and that we are selling very few, while many people want one. That will also give him ample time to spend heavily on researching a second-grade automatic cauldron—and then, when he has researched it nearly to completion, we simply upgrade and replace?"
"Exactly. Swap out the chip circuit board inside, and let him crack it for nothing." Wei Zhao said.
"Understood! Jingjing knows!" Han Jingyi replied.
In the days that followed, Han Jingyi returned to Yanjing City under the identity of Liu Jinghan and threw herself into the affairs surrounding the launch of the second-grade automatic cauldron, while Wei Zhao also welcomed his first final examinations of his university years.
Except that Wei Zhao was a specially privileged individual whom Bai Lingtou had personally exempted from taking the finals, much to the envy of Bai Weituo and the others. Yet Wei Zhao still sat for the exams—not for any other reason than that he had not seen Wang Xinyan for a long time, and he took the opportunity of the finals to come and see her.
To be honest, it had been some time since he and Wang Xinyan had parted, and Wei Zhao still missed her greatly. After all, they had slept in the same bed for so many days and nights, and Wei Zhao had deep feelings for Wang Xinyan. It was just that Wei Zhao now had no excuse to ask Wang Xinyan to come to his villa.
At the entrance to the examination hall, Wei Zhao happened to see You Panhu and Kang Jinglong walking over together. The two of them saw Wei Zhao as well, and their gazes were somewhat evasive—after all, Wei Zhao's prestige now rang loud and clear throughout the entire ancient layer, and the hidden You family of the present day was no match for Wei Zhao at all.
But having seen him, they could hardly fail to greet him. You Panhu was a man who knew how to read the times, and he knew that in this life he might never be able to shake Wei Zhao—and not just him, either. Even Kang Jinglong's elder brother, Kang Jingming, got a headache whenever he saw Wei Zhao. What airs did he have left to put on? Better to just play the meek grandson.
"Ah, if it isn't Boss Wei Zhao! It has been so long—your little brother has missed you terribly!" You Panhu came forward beaming.
"Oh, You Panhu. What do you want with me? Surely you have some fine thing to give me again?" A thought stirred faintly in Wei Zhao's mind, and an idea came to him.
"Ah? A fine thing... With the paltry things my family has, how could anything catch Boss Wei Zhao's eye?" You Panhu's heart sank. Surely he had not shown off too much before, and now that Wei Zhao had grown powerful, he had come to extort him?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. In the past, Wei Zhao had always wanted a third-grade cauldron, but the You family did not even have two third-grade cauldrons! Of course, if Wei Zhao insisted on taking one by force, there was nothing he could do about it. He could only push the blame onto Xuandan Sect and let Xuandan Sect figure something out... RS
