Chapter 424: Chapter 299 This is a technology blockade!_1

Feng Chi called Feng Yi over today, mainly to talk to him about the ancestral hall’s ritual ceremony.

After the matters were discussed, and the invitation was given to Feng Yi, completing the task foisted upon him by the old man, they talked about some of the Feng Family’s more burdensome topics. Having said enough, Feng Chi turned to share some lighter matters with Feng Yi.

It’s not easy to gather together, so they couldn’t just talk about all that depressing stuff.

Once they set aside the Feng Family topics and moved on to areas of interest, Feng Chi’s eyes twinkled as he switched to an excited mode.

They chatted from entertainment gossip to his experiences on several variety shows he had recently participated in.

When Feng Yi saw him talking about these topics, his face lit up, and he couldn’t help but smile too.

These entertainment circles were indeed more suitable for Feng Chi. It was clear that he was really serious about his career.

If he ever faced setbacks in the future, couldn’t make it, or got tired of it, he could always return home and continue being a rich second generation.

After Feng Chi’s parents gained a certain level of autonomy, their business endeavors gradually began to separate from those of the Feng Family in Yang City.

Especially Feng Chi’s mom.

"After I finished recording the show, someone specifically blocked me to ask for a favor to grab a jar of facial mask. The business in my mom’s shops is so good! Fully booked reservations! The branches in other major cities are also set up, and her beauty and skincare brand is doing exceedingly well... Hey, Brother, did you finish using that facial mask I gave you last time? Tell me when you have, and I’ll get you another one!" Feng Chi said.

"Cough, there’s still a little left." Feng Yi hadn’t used the facial mask himself; it was the butler who was using it.

"I had too many vexing matters today, and forgot about it. Next time, I’ll bring you another jar! I don’t have many, but I can still get one for you. That facial mask is magical! Right now, it’s in such high demand it’s impossible to meet!"

"The production still can’t keep up?" asked Feng Yi.

"Can’t help it, there are restrictions on the ingredients, and there’s a limit on how much can be purchased." Feng Chi appeared helpless when it came to this topic.

"Ingredients? You mean the ones from the Ancestral Factory’s subsidiary line?"

"Yeah, that important component in the legendary facial mask is that kind of active substance; only the Ancestral Factory has it globally; it’s their patented product. My mom was lucky to get a share of it."

Feng Chi was very happy to share this information with Feng Yi.

"You have no idea, every batch from the production line is snapped up by top brands as soon as it’s out...no, that’s wrong, to be exact, they’re reserved before they’re even produced! Those snatching them up are all top global brands! Compared to small fries like us, those are giant white sharks! Ordinary people can’t beat them at all. So my mom says, signing a contract with the Ancestral Factory was sheer luck, a fluke, to get a spot. Even though we get a little each batch, it’s already lucky compared to others," Feng Chi continued.

"Production is still too low," remarked Feng Yi.

"Brother, you don’t understand this area. The technological content is so high, it’s understandable that the production can’t keep up," Feng Chi said with an air of expertise.

"...Oh," Feng Yi didn’t know what face to make.

Thinking Feng Yi wasn’t convinced, Feng Chi went on to explain: "Don’t doubt it! I heard my mom say, many people have tried to replicate this active substance but just can’t produce it! Even similar products have vastly inferior effects. Saying they’re knockoffs or counterfeits is giving them too much credit!"

Feng Yi: "..." Silently drinking water.

Feng Chi: "That’s why the Ancestral Factory is the Ancestral Factory! Even their subsidiary products can’t be cracked by just anyone! This is tech—no—lo—gy—lo—cko—ut!"

The last four words resounded with such force.

Feng Yi: "...Yeah."

Feng Chi: "Do you really understand?"

Feng Yi: "I understand, technology lockout."

Seeing that Feng Yi really understood, Feng Chi was satisfied.

Feng Chi, looking at Feng Yi’s face, which was not coarse at all, thought that Feng Yi had used the mask and was even happier:

"That’s right, as public figures, we can be photographed even when just strolling on the street; we have to maintain a good image. Last week when I was on a show, the high-definition camera was right in my face! Luckily, I was confident!"

Saying so, he touched his own face.

Feng Chi asked, "You can feel it yourself, right?"

Feng Yi thought about the butler’s face, which seemed to indeed have fewer wrinkles.

"It is effective," Feng Yi nodded.

"Right? It’s not that I’m biased towards our own product, it’s just that good! Apart from being expensive and limited in quantity, it has no other faults!"

Feng Yi listened quietly as Feng Chi continued to rave about the facial mask.

He couldn’t do anything about the production shortfall.

After all, he only had two venom glands.

The venom from both sides also contained different components.

If the subsidiary product could only use one type of venom as the ingredient, then the production would be even more limited!

If nobody could break this "technology lockout," they could only hope for the Ancestral Factory’s technological upgrades to increase output.

But that also needed time.

For now, the status quo could only be maintained in the short term.

The chat with Feng Chi wasn’t long, as Feng Chi’s schedule was tight. His career had just started, and he was incredibly busy.

After coming back home from Feng Chi’s secret base, Feng Yi entered the second-floor study, tossing the invitation onto the desk carelessly.

He then extracted two documents from a drawer in a nearby bookshelf.

One was researched by Yi, and the other was investigated with the help of the butler.

Both documents concerned those who had once swindled him and many hidden details behind them.

He hadn’t acted on it yet because aside from his own various constraints, the difficulty of investigating was also significant.

Feng Yi hadn’t had these two documents for long.

When the old man made a move, even when dealing with a small fry or a minor issue, he would try to do it
