Giant Fish Survival: I Can Hear the Giant Fish's Heart

Zhao Teng was surprised that Jiang Haitao could produce 1000 sets of basic materials, because he had never heard of Jiang Haitao before today.

He thought Jiang Haitao, like him, had gotten lucky and obtained the blueprints for the spiked helmet, never expecting that the other party was actually quite skilled.

"I was careless. This guy could turn on you faster than flipping through a book. I should have known he wasn't simple." Zhao Teng, being the boss of a Fortune 500 company, naturally knew the foundation of doing business: shamelessness.

Jiang Haitao's initial words made him seem like a simple person, and he spoke very politely. But later he turned hostile and his words were arrogant. The difference between his earlier and later words was like that of someone suffering from a split personality.

"However, young man, you're still too young." Zhao Teng said with disdain as he watched Jiang Haitao's large-scale acquisition of spiky krill shells.

[Please note, everyone. That unscrupulous capitalist is buying up spiky krill shells on a large scale. Since you don't have the blueprints for the spiky helmet, you might not know that spiky krill shells are the main material for making spiky helmets.]

[Please do not sell to him, otherwise I won't have the materials to make spiked helmets for everyone, and you'll only be able to trade using blueprints.]

After sending the message on the world channel, Zhao Teng smiled faintly. Jiang Haitao had no chance against him at all, because Jiang Haitao had previously aroused the anger of the survivors.

He is on the side of all the survivors. Of course, the main reason is that his spiked helmet is cheap. Whether it is out of personal preference or self-interest, the survivors will stand on his side.

[Damn it! That beast!]

[Trying to monopolize the market, huh? Trying to blockade us from obtaining materials, huh!]

[What an idiot! He's not the only one with the blueprints, yet he tries to monopolize and blockade materials. What does he take us for? Everyone, don't sell the spiky krill shells to that idiot!]

On the World Channel, Jiang Haitao was once again subjected to a barrage of criticism, which made Zhao Teng's smile even wider, and he was in a very good mood.

Dear brothers and sisters, please stop scolding me. I was wrong, I'm sorry.

I was a bit out of my mind just now, and I'm really sorry everyone. It was the first time I'd received so much attention, so I got a little carried away.

To express my apology, I've decided to follow the example of the experts and, with everyone contributing their own materials, set the price of the spiked helmet at 100 sets of basic materials, charging only a small labor fee.

[Of course, if you don't have the means to pay for the materials yourself, don't worry, you can purchase them from me for 200 sets of basic materials.]

I'm truly sorry for what happened earlier. This is all I wanted to say in good faith; I hope everyone will forgive me.

Jiang Haitao's series of remarks completely baffled the survivors who were fiercely criticizing him, and their verbal attacks against him immediately ceased.

"Oh dear, it's a good quality to admit your mistakes and correct them. I have the materials; make me a spiked helmet first."

【I'll have one too.】

Everyone gets cocky sometimes, I understand. You don't need to apologize. Bro, I only have 180 sets of basic materials, could you give me a discount?

Zhao Teng, standing in front of the system interface, froze with a smile. He truly hadn't expected Jiang Haitao to lower the price so drastically, from an exorbitant price to the lowest possible price.

He guessed that Jiang Haitao would definitely lower the price. After all, no matter how high the price is set, it's useless if you can't sell them. He originally thought that Jiang Haitao would lower the price to the same level as him, so that he would still have public support and he would still have the advantage.

But Jiang Haitao flipped the table, which was a desperate attempt to suppress him. Moreover, he couldn't lower the price to 200 for basic materials because with the price of krill shells rising, the cost might exceed 200.

He could only follow Jiang Haitao's example and charge 100 for basic materials, making the survivors pay for the materials themselves, but in doing so, he would fall behind Jiang Haitao.

By the way, besides spiked helmets, I also sell wooden shields. They cost 100 basic materials each, and while they're not as good as spiked helmets, they're at least defensive equipment.

Jiang Haitao sent another message, completely extinguishing Zhao Teng's hopes of competing with him.

Jiang Haitao's sale of spiked helmets at the price of 200 basic materials will definitely result in a loss in the end. This gives Zhao Teng a chance to drag things out until Jiang Haitao's assets are depleted, and then raise the price so that he can also make some money.

But the wooden shield directly filled the gap, and he had no chance at all.

However, as a seasoned businessman, he knew that being flexible and adaptable was a skill, and he was not yet at his wit's end.

My name is Zhao Teng, what's your surname, brother?

"Um... my name is Jiang Haitao. What can I do for you? Are you here to trade spiked helmets?"

[Hehe, no, I'm just another one who has the blueprints for the spiked helmet.]

Oh, so what do you want from me?

"It's like this, I said some bad things about Brother Jiang before, and I'm here specifically to apologize. I'm truly sorry."

It's okay, I don't mind.

Jiang Haitao didn't really care, after all, he was just following Zhou Wen's orders. He didn't feel anything about what Zhao Teng called a heartless capitalist. Rather than talking about him, he was talking about Zhou Wen.

[Haha, Brother Jiang is truly a magnanimous person. Actually, besides apologizing, I also wanted to collaborate with you.]

【cooperate?】

Yes, you see, our infighting has driven the price of spiked helmets down so low, which doesn't benefit any of us.

Right now, only the two of us have the blueprints for the spiked helmet. If we cooperate, we can raise the price as high as we want, and the survivors won't be able to do anything about it. That way, we can both make a profit.

[If you don't cooperate, get out!]

Zhao Teng was completely dumbfounded. They were talking so well just a moment ago, how did they suddenly start using such abusive language?

After that, Zhao Teng messaged Jiang Haitao privately several more times, and the only reply he got was "get lost," which almost made him furious.

"What a lunatic! Fine, fine, he really thinks he's something special. I have the blueprints for the spiked helmet, so I'm not afraid of not finding investors."

Zhao Teng's dream of making a fortune on spiked helmets by himself was shattered. He could only rely on the help of others. After all, he had the blueprints for spiked helmets, and there would definitely be someone willing to cooperate with him. He could first seize the market, and the matter of losing money could be dealt with later.

His goal, of course, is to become a "big shot" with the most basic materials by selling algae aeration tanks.

At this point, Zhou Wen was completely dumbfounded. Zhao Teng had gone around in circles and finally found him, the person behind the scenes.

However, Zhou Wen agreed to cooperate with Zhao Teng because Zhao Teng apologized to Jiang Haitao, then proposed cooperation, and after the failure, he came to him again, which shows that Zhao Teng is a very good businessman.

Even if Zhou Wen doesn't agree, he'll go find someone else, and then it will be hard to control him. At least for now, it's under his nose.
