Chapter 1069: Chapter 1069: Spies Everywhere

Feng Jun was not at all surprised by Huang Fu Flawless’s various little clever tricks—he had become immune to them already.

He shook his head decisively, "There’s no such thing as a Teleportation Formation, you’re thinking too much."

Huang Fu Flawless was just probing; she also felt that Feng Jun couldn’t possibly have a Space Door, "Alright then, we just so happened to have a large supply of food recently, and we’ve collected about 60,000 tons. We might as well exchange it for graphene, and now you owe me 60,000 taels of Gold."

"Gold is no big deal," Feng Jun waved his hand dismissively, speaking with overwhelming authority, "But I have to say, the quality of the graphene must not be compromised, and also... the people you plan to send for training, bring them over quickly."

"The people have been ready for a while, they can arrive in three days," Huang Fu Flawless replied with a smile, "This time I’ve prepared twenty people."

"You can only bring seven," Feng Jun expressed indifferently, and he did not offer any explanation—he did not believe an explanation was necessary.

"Fine," Huang Fu Flawless sighed, not asking for an explanation, "Are there any specific requirements for the candidates?"

After thinking for a moment, Feng Jun answered, "Do not bring anyone above the Qi Refining Initial Stage, and no Innate Experts... Make sure they are obedient."

Two days later, the people from Huang Fu Flawless arrived; there were only ten, including those at the Qi Refining Initial Stage and High-Rank Martial Masters. It was clear that Feng Jun’s requirements had weeded out some of the candidates.

From these ten people, selecting seven was now Feng Jun’s concern.

He quickly picked out seven people. Unable to hold back, Huang Fu Flawless pointed at one who was not selected and asked, "Master Feng, I mean no offense, but I just want to know—what’s wrong with Chen Xiaochuan at the Qi Refining First Layer?"

Feng Jun glanced at her and directly cast a spell, sending a bolt of lightning straight at the man—indeed, he was the most problematic.

The man saw the spell being cast and tried to dodge, showing a clear attempt to avoid it, but in the end, he could not escape and was struck by the lightning, charred on the outside and tender inside.

After the man fell to the ground, Feng Jun, without a word, released the Immortal Binding Rope and tied him up firmly, "See for yourself."

Seeing his dramatic actions, everyone else was somewhat anxious, but they dared not react... after all, they were in the presence of a true otherworldly being.

A flash of anger flitted across Huang Fu Flawless’s eyes, and she suddenly burst out in rage, "The audacity... to think a Qi Refining Peak infiltrated our ranks?"

Feng Junbai gave her a glance, his voice heavy with annoyance, "With the Treasure-Appraising Eye you possess, you should first investigate your own people. Investigating others can easily offend, but really, it’s one’s own people... Having a spy slip through, doesn’t that flatter you?"

Huang Fu Flawless was quite aggrieved, she actually knew in her heart—that all these people had passed her scrutiny, and she had not detected any issues.

However... this also indirectly demonstrated Feng Jun’s strength. What the Treasure-Appraising Eye couldn’t detect, couldn’t escape his notice.

Chairman Huang Fu was overcome with shame and was not going to explain away her oversight, she could only say, "I will give you an explanation."

Then she took the man away, leaving the others looking at each other in dismay, afraid to even breathe too loudly in the presence of such an exalted being.

Huang Fu Flawless had not left for long before she returned, her face full of guilt, "Master Feng... this was an accident."

"Heh," Feng Jun chuckled coldly, looking at her helplessly, "Chairman Huang Fu, let’s not beat around the bush, with all these accidents... do you really not wish to cooperate with me anymore?"

Huang Fu Flawless let out a long sigh, "Ah, it’s an embarrassing situation, and actually, I didn’t want to tell you, but if you’re going to think like that, I must explain... This person is from the Nangong Family, you should know, the Nangong Family is also one of the shareholders of Tiantong."

Feng Jun’s mind rapidly analyzed several possibilities, but he wasn’t so quick to believe her, replying only with a slight twitch of his mouth, "Are there no more explanations?"

"Ah," Huang Fu Flawless sighed again, speaking in a low voice, "The Nangong and my Huang Fu Clan aren’t on good terms. They are too overbearing... they have even embedded moles among my cultivators, yes, the Nangong Family is also part of Tiantong, what a disgrace."

According to her explanation, she was very innocent, just caught between two large families with conflicts, both vying for power within Tiantong, sending moles into the opposing family to seize opportunities—even possibly to cut short the Huang Fu Clan’s prospects.

The reason was logically sound, but Feng Jun would not allow his thinking to be easily influenced by others.

"Haha," he laughed dryly, "The vigilance of your Huang Fu Clan seems a little lacking, doesn’t it?"

Huang Fu Flawless did not intend to expose her weakness, but she had to explain after hearing that, "I have scrutinized them, truly. He not only possesses the Breath Concealment Technique but also a Solidification Secret Technique, which the Treasure-Appraising Eye could not see."

Feng Jun’s response was simply "haha"—he did not disbelieve her, but it was impossible for him to trust without condition.

Huang Fu Flawless also knew that she couldn’t clear herself of this matter, so she could only emphasize, "I’m handing these seven people over to you without conditions. If they engage in any misconduct, you are free to kill them without reason."

Feng Jun shook his head helplessly. Did her condition really make a difference? Well, perhaps it made a little difference.

Feeling his sentiment, Huang Fu Flawless thought for a moment before speaking again, "Master Feng, do you have any other requests?"

After thinking, Feng Jun spoke, "Proceed with the graphene transaction quickly. I need to assess the integrity of the Chaos Plane."

Interdimensional trade turned out to be much faster than Feng Jun had anticipated—it only took about five or six days for the fifty tons of graphene to be delivered straight to Mount Zhige.

Feng Jun looked at the graphene he received and couldn’t help but speculate: If their supplies were this punctual, they must have made a lot... So, could the real production cost of graphene actually be not so high?

But in the next moment, he shook his head: It was wrong to think that way.

In business, it’s important to spread the profits evenly. Compressing your suppliers’ or customers’ profits too much is never good.

Indeed, his business crosses dimensions, with a monopoly just like how Apple phones are on the Earth Plane.

But when Apple truly became arrogant, imposing harsh conditions on their suppliers, just like Apple computers back in the day.

The collapse of Apple was just one catalyst away, and Feng Jun felt that during this foundational period, he couldn’t afford to be capricious. Therefore, he decided not to ponder over the profits or urgency from the Chaos Plane, simply focusing on earning the money he was entitled to.

After all, there’s an old saying: you have to know yourself and your own limits, there’s no need to fret over things that shouldn’t concern you. There’s no need to talk about getting hurt; the key is that it’s not sustainable in the long run.

So, he took the graphene and went straight back to the Earth Plane.

The very next day after his return, as expected, Elder Yu sent someone to discuss when the graphene would be available.

Li Shishi, knowing her position, asked confidently, "How much do you want? Our stock is limited right now; only cash transactions work... but we can guarantee quality."

What was absurd was that the current purchase intent had already surpassed three hundred tons, more than ten times the demand of the previous year.

The reason behind this was that everyone felt the product was too cheap. They were willing to buy more, even if it was just to hoard and resell later—potential to make a fortune—especially since this was a product without any guarantees, and missing out on this wave might mean there won’t be another.

Truth be told, in terms of a gambling nature, many business owners are quite bold, especially... never underestimate the state-owned enterprises.

While the intent was for three hundred tons, those willing to pay in advance for pre-orders amounted to only about a hundred tons—mostly from state-owned enterprises.

Having been guided by Feng Jun, Li Shishi had some understanding of the market, and she couldn’t help but ask, "Are they able to digest such a large purchase, or has the demand increased?"

Elder Yu’s face turned red. After a moment of stunned silence, he candidly said, "It’s not that the demand has increased but that it might... The key is that my old face still holds some value, so they are not afraid of losses."

Leaders of state-owned enterprises really are not afraid of losses... Being brave enough to try innovation, can that be considered a mistake?

Many would be willing to take a risky gamble just for the chance of getting connected with Elder Yu.

From a practical application perspective, many hold cautious skepticism towards this particular type of graphene, which is normal. Though many privately owned enterprises have shown considerable interest in placing orders, they proceed with caution in the early stages—it’s okay to lose a little, just not too much.

Anyway, there are already orders for a hundred tons, with upfront payments—cash payments are even acceptable.

However, Li Shishi stated, "We only have fifty tons, and the boss has said that he hoped it would be applied to the practical field as soon as possible, rather than being hoarded."

Although Feng Jun disliked hoarding, when it involved his own interests, he wasn’t completely against it. Still, since his profits from graphene were "very limited," he naturally hoped to expand the market quickly—only by growing the market could he make more money.

Elder Yu did not expect Feng Jun to be so "reserved." Once the news spread, Feng Jun’s graphene immediately became highly sought after, and even some enterprises that were previously observing made their entry.

The number of people willing to place pre-orders skyrocketed—in a market with a demand for a hundred tons and a supply of fifty tons, how could it not be bustling?

By the afternoon of the same day, the purchase price soared to two hundred yuan per gram—given that the market price was one thousand yuan per gram, if one managed to grab some and easily sell it at four hundred yuan per gram, that would still double their profit.

Once the capital market becomes frenzied, there’s no talking sense, just like the Northeast fortune hosta frenzy, or the Qionghai real estate craze...

If Feng Jun sold fifty tons at this price, it would be a gain of ten billion yuan—perhaps fifteen billion tomorrow.

But Feng Jun wouldn’t consider these factors. When setting one’s own guidelines, he planned to sell at this price. How others sell or perform, whether they lose or win, he would not care. What he cared about was—I need you to deploy it to the application layers as soon as possible.

Of course, such trivial matters did not require his attention. Li Shishi was there to take care of them.

However, Feng Jun was quite pleased that he could sell the fifty tons of graphene—that’s five billion yuan. With this sum, he finally wouldn’t have to live hand to mouth on the Earth Plane.

But good things take time... no, that’s wrong, good things come in pairs. That same evening, Hua Hua flew back to Luohua Manor, proudly showing off to Feng Jun, "Look, a Bamboo Green King Snake at the Third Level of Qi Refinement... Third Level, imagine the consequences of my absence."

Feng Jun pondered for a moment and then spoke, "This snake... counts as spoils of war, doesn’t it?"
