Junior Uncle is too cunning.

Qiao An gently pushed open the door, went in, bowed to Li Shundao, and stood there waiting.

"You're here, have a seat," Li Shundao waved his hand.

Qiao An hummed in agreement and sat down.

"Everything is arranged?"

"Everything has been arranged according to the master's wishes."

There's another matter. At today's banquet, a merchant sent by the Flower Pavilion Merchant Guild couldn't take it anymore and went mad during the event.

"Hua Jian Yu Tingting? Hmm, I understand. You can handle it. You've worked hard lately. Once this matter is successfully completed, you will be a third-class divine messenger. Do a good job. Now you can leave."

Qiao An nodded respectfully and walked out.

With the exposure of Li Shundao, the God of Wealth, Qiao An did not look down on Li Shundao. On the contrary, this action deepened Li Shundao's position in his heart.

He had never seen the God of Wealth, but he had certainly experienced Li Shundao's ability to manipulate events.

Thinking back to a few days ago when Li Shundao had just told him about the God of Wealth Project, after listening, he could only think of four words: "mind-blowing".

On the first day, he was instructed to lead his men to frantically plunder the spiritual meat in the city, buying and selling as much as they could.

On the second day, with the instigation of the traitor Wan Lao and others, some people couldn't resist and started buying as well. However, they slightly changed their buying intensity. Although they still acted as if they were the only ones who could do it, they actually only bought fifteen or sixteen storage bags in total.

By the third day, the plan had completely split into two parts: one group continued to buy, while the other group quietly began to sell at high prices.

This continued for the next few days, except that the acquisition rate kept decreasing while more and more were being sold.

Until the news of the ceasefire in the East China Sea arrived, "Fire Love" not only sold off the acquired spirit meat, but also emptied its own spirit meat warehouse, making a huge profit.

As expected, panic ensued. At this point, the God of Wealth began his second step, taking direct action and employing multiple schemes to control the flow of money.

During this process, all sorts of unfamiliar talents emerged. Some secured acquisitions through persuasive tongues, while others relied on coercion and enticement. If it weren't for their quiet and unassuming nature, their lack of ambition for profit, and their indifference to reputation, Qiao An herself would have been somewhat worried about the stability of her position as chairman.

The ability to mobilize so many people at once must be the God of Wealth. In addition, even Elder Wan was a believer of the God of Wealth. Only then did he truly believe in the God of Wealth and sincerely make offerings to him.

He went into his room, lit three incense sticks in front of the statue of the God of Wealth, and recited the "Finance" magazine three times before stopping.

In particular, the line "The most painful thing in the world is to be alive but have no money" resonated deeply with him, and the more he studied it, the more powerful he felt it was.

The next day, the businesses that had just changed their signs to "Fire Love" began interior decoration, making all the necessary changes to resemble the Fire Love Group's restaurants and hotels.

Actually, there weren't that many parts that needed to be modified, because most businesses in Donghai Town are basically decorated according to Huolian's style, so they are all very similar.

The renovation was completed very quickly, in just one day, and the business opened the next day.

At this point, Huolian Group truly achieved a monopoly in the catering industry. After all, controlling eight floors of the catering industry in Donghai Town is not an overstatement.

It's safe to say that as long as you're in Donghai Town, whether you're looking for drinks, food, or lodging, you'll find a Huolian restaurant within two streets.

However, the most attention-grabbing aspect of Huolian's renovation is that every Huolian store will have a faceless deity statue enshrined in its most prominent location, and even the two red couplets of the God of Wealth will be pasted on either side of the main entrance.

Businesses thrive across the world

Fidelity Nine Continents has abundant wealth

……

A land where wealth from all corners of the world gathers.

Good fortune enters the doorway

It quickly became the hottest topic and the most interesting subject of conversation in Donghai Town. Although people didn't know what couplets were, they found them easy to read and felt that they made a lot of sense.

This continued for seven days, but the topic did not fade with time; instead, it aroused people's curiosity even more.

At this time, the major merchants also realized that something was wrong. They were not ordinary citizens, but long-established merchants with powerful backers. Naturally, they knew what a god was.

The presidents of various chambers of commerce relayed their messages to those behind them, and then tried every means to find out any clues about the God of Wealth.

With a "thud," Qiao An collapsed onto the bed, her face flushed.

With a distressed expression, she patted her large belly. It had been three days since the news of the God of Wealth spread, and various chambers of commerce had been testing Huo Lian from top to bottom in all sorts of ways.

As for Qiao An, the nominal head of Huo Lian, he was busy with banquets hosted by the presidents of various chambers of commerce. He checked the schedule and found that the banquets were already booked for a month in advance. He drank from morning till night and felt that he had gained at least three pounds. This was the weight he had gained in the past year. Now he could only wait quietly for Li Shundao's order to launch the final plan.

……

"Fatty, come here."

Qiao An's face lit up with joy. She jumped up with a somersault and ran quickly toward Li Shundao's house, looking nothing like a fat man.

"Phew~ My lord, you were looking for me?"

“Okay, let’s start the final step. Here’s the list. Go and make the arrangements,” Li Shundao said, handing the list directly to Qiao An.

Qiao An glanced at the list and saw that the number one ranked person was none other than "Old Wan," the number one traitor who had made great contributions to this operation.

"Wan Lao", whose real name is Wan Lao Er, was formerly the owner of Jiu Yue Xuan and is now the deputy director (equivalent to deputy manager) of the catering department of "Huo Lian" and a third-class God of Wealth.

Qian Yue, whose real name is Wan San, is Wan Lao's distant nephew. He is currently the manager of the East Street shop of the Huajian Chamber of Commerce. He is highly regarded by Yu Tingting and is one of her confidants, holding the rank of Third-Class God of Wealth.

……

Qiao An became increasingly alarmed as she looked at the list. There were many familiar faces among them, all of whom were high-ranking members of various chambers of commerce. The youngest among them was a shopkeeper. She never expected that they were all people affiliated with the God of Wealth. A chill ran down her spine.

He looked up at Li Shundao, swallowed hard, and asked in a somewhat frightened tone, "These, these are all... oops, whose people are they?"

Li Shundao smiled and could tell from Qiao An's face that he had misunderstood. Most of the people on the list were only second- or third-class believers, and some were even drug addicts. However, he did not explain anything.

She simply gave Qiao An a look and glanced at the statue, "Okay, you go and make the arrangements first. Just distribute the versions you prepared beforehand, and they'll know what to do."

Qiao An looked at the look Li Shundao gave her and seemed to understand something. She glanced at Li Shundao gratefully, quickly lowered her head, said "Yes," and hurriedly left.

Seeing Qiao An's legs were a little weak, Li Shundao smiled and happily opened the list of priests. He saw that Qiao An's page had changed directly from a third-class believer to a second-class believer, and her loyalty was as high as 90. Maybe after a few more scares, she would become a first-class die-hard believer. At that time, Huo Lian could be completely handed over to him.

I took another look at my homepage.

Li Shundao: A fourth-rank official, the God of Wealth of the Eastern Road (incarnation).

Chen Fusheng: Early Stage of Mystic Immortal (Main Body)

Origin: Innate Origin Stone

Supernatural Powers: Treasure Summoning (Intermediate, Innate Level 4), Wealth Summoning (Intermediate, Innate Level 5), Profit Summoning (Beginner, Innate Level 2), Treasure Gathering (Not Activated, Zero)

Divine artifacts: Mysterious cauldron, Treasure-Dropping Coin (imitating a high-grade acquired spiritual treasure)...

Believers: 2606083 (83 Level 1 believers, 10600 Level 2 believers, 590000 Level 3 believers, and 2000000 heroin users).

This wave of acquisitions by Huolian Group has not only increased Huolian Group's assets several times over in a short period of time.

Most importantly, thanks to this natural advertisement, Li Shundao's followers, who had been developing for three hundred years, increased fivefold in just a few days. Even the number of precious first-level followers increased by eighty. He really made a fortune, and even his fortune-telling ability also increased by one level.

It seems that sometimes even good wine needs good marketing. Good wine needs to be advertised; otherwise, it will ferment too slowly. If tomorrow's operation succeeds, then…

Li Shundao was somewhat hesitant to guess the number.
