Dream Legend

Chapter 90 Touchstone Contest

Under the leadership of Wu Shandi, the team not only restored the original appearance of the cave, but also reopened the cave.

Touchstones are continuously transported out of it, like a stream in spring, constantly nourishing the land.

This endless source of income did not bring the expected joy to Mo Yicong, the CEO of Shenquan Company. On the contrary, his face was filled with dark clouds.

In the early morning, when the first rays of morning light shone on the earth, the huge and solemn door of Shenquan Company slowly opened, as if heralding the beginning of a new day of busy work.

Mo Yicong stood quietly in front of the spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling window, his deep eyes staring into the distance, his sight passing through the hustle and bustle of the city and falling on the rolling mountains in the distance.

In those mountains lay the secrets he prized most—rare touchstones.

These touchstones are not ordinary things. Each of them is full of mysterious power and can easily distinguish the authenticity of gold.

This unique ability makes these stones coveted treasures, but only people with special vision and wisdom like Mo Yicong can truly discover their value.

In the distant ancient times, these mysterious stones were used as a magic weapon to identify the authenticity of gold.

But times have changed, and now they have evolved into a perfect fusion of technology and magic, with a staggering range of applications.

However, at this moment, Mo Yicong's face was full of worry, his brows were furrowed, and his thoughts were like a tangled hemp rope.

As the head of Shenquan Company, this company has become famous for its processing touchstones.

According to his original idea, the raw touchstone should have been an extremely scarce and valuable resource, and each piece should have been a rare treasure.

If this development continues, the touchstone carefully crafted by Shenquan Company will surely double in value and become a darling of the market.

Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. The cruel reality was like a heavy hammer that shattered his beautiful fantasy.

The raw materials of touchstones are as ubiquitous as flowers blooming in spring. This undoubtedly brings an unprecedented huge crisis to the Shenquan Company, which originally relied on high-priced touchstones to make a living.

Resources that were once extremely scarce and hard to come by seemed to flood into the market overnight. The touchstones that were once regarded as treasures have now become worthless, and their prices have plummeted.

Shenquan Company has always dominated the market with its high-priced touchstones, but now it has lost its glory and has become an abandoned child that no one cares about.

"This is simply the most blatant trampling and insult to market rules!" Mo Yicong was furious and punched the hard table top, causing the documents on the table to fly everywhere.

His eyes widened, his face flushed red, veins popped out on his forehead, and the anger in his heart seemed to be about to burst out.

Such a sudden change caught him off guard and he found it hard to accept.

According to his original perfect plan, the touchstone should have been a rare treasure that was unparalleled in the world and only a few people could own it, and its value would increase with the passage of time.

But reality gave him a ruthless blow and shattered his beautiful fantasy.

"How is this possible... What is going on?" Mo Yicong was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing anxiously in the spacious office, stopping from time to time and pulling his hair in pain.

His inner world had already been turned upside down by this sudden storm. The originally bright and sunny spring sun had disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a violent and raging storm.

At this moment, a sudden cell phone ring rang, breaking the silence. Mo Yicong looked closely and saw Wu Shandi's name flashing on the screen.

After hesitating for a moment, he slid the answer button and put the phone close to his ear.

Before he could open his mouth, Wu Shandi's smug and complacent voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Mo, you guys are going to make a fortune this time! Look at all these piles of touchstones, this is a huge pie in the sky, what else can it be?"

Hearing this, Mo Yicong's face instantly turned gloomy, as if covered with frost.

He clenched his teeth tightly, suppressed the rage burning in his heart, and responded in a tone that was almost freezing: "Brother Wu, what exactly do you mean by this? Don't you know what consequences this will bring to our company? Now, our touchstone is as cheap as cabbage, and it is worthless!"

Facing Mo Yicong's questioning and rebuke, Wu Shandi seemed unconcerned, and even muttered in a bewildered manner: "Hey, Brother Mo, why don't you get it? As the saying goes, 'scarcity makes things valuable'. Now that the number of touchstones has increased sharply, the market is in oversupply, and the price will naturally adjust accordingly."

Obviously, Wu Shandi seemed to be completely unable to empathize with Mo Yicong's anxious mood at the moment.

Mo Yicong's chest heaved violently, and his eyes were filled with anger, as if they were about to spit fire.

He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, because what Wu Shandi had done made him feel extremely angry.

In his eyes, Wu Shandi's behavior seriously violated market rules and brought huge losses to Shenquan Company.

Mo Yicong roared into the phone in anger: "From today on, we will stop paying you the company's transfer fees in installments!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone harshly.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

After a while, Wu Shandi called again, with a hint of joking in his voice: "Oh? This is quite interesting, Brother Mo. But don't forget, we have a contract, and these terms are clearly written on it. Besides, why do I feel that your reaction is a bit extreme?"

Hearing this, Mo Yicong was stunned.

His anger was like a basin of cold water poured over his head and was extinguished instantly.

He suddenly realized that he was too impulsive just now. He took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down: "Okay, Brother Wu, maybe we should sit down and talk calmly."

"Haha, that's it! Only by cooperating with each other can we achieve a win-win situation, isn't it?" There was a faint smile in Wu Shandi's voice.

Surprisingly, Wu Shandi was not angry. Instead, he kindly invited Mo Yicong to go to the cave where he was to find out what was going on.

Mo Yicong, who was full of suspicion and resentment, finally decided to keep the appointment. When he stepped into the cave, the scene in front of him made him dumbfounded - the mining operations here were proceeding in an orderly manner. What is more worth mentioning is that great importance was also attached to environmental protection and sustainable use of resources.

Wu Shandi patiently explained his intention to Mo Yicong: "I have no intention of interfering with your way of making money. I simply hope that more people will be able to appreciate the charm of the touchstone and fully explore the potential value of this magical stone."

In this vast world, a storm caused by a touchstone eventually subsided quietly under the warm and pleasant spring sunshine.

It was as if nothing had ever happened, leaving only faint traces.
