My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!
Chapter 752 - 752 752 Brother Could It Be That My Reputation Is Undeserved

752: Chapter 752: Brother, Could It Be That My Reputation Is Undeserved?

752: Chapter 752: Brother, Could It Be That My Reputation Is Undeserved?

Dead silence!

The whole venue was shocked!

The conditions proposed by Wu Jie were simply too terrifying.

You can question whether the prices of the three cars are unreasonably high, but you can’t doubt my brother’s battery performance.

If you call Wu Jie blindly confident and spouting nonsense, then…

If you’re not convinced, come and bet!

One hundred million!

It’s just a small bet for entertainment.

These words were truly full of swagger, but indeed simple and crude, and quite effective.

The people who had been murmuring in disbelief were stunned.

The reason is simple!

Without sufficient strength, without truly world-class level.

Would Wu Jie dare to say such things in front of so many guests and countless TV and internet live broadcast audiences?

One hundred million!

This is no ‘small bet’ at all!

If you want to get rich overnight, if you want to earn a hundred million, then come and bet!

It’s just a pity…

Don’t take on work beyond your capabilities if you don’t have the diamond drill!

Wu Jie’s daring to publicly bet one hundred million shows that he’s not talking nonsense.

Everyone also believes that Wu Jie could really put up a hundred million.

Not to mention his wife, Tang Xiao, the president of the world’s top 500 corporation, Tanglong Industrial Group, with a personal wealth of at least ten billion.

Just look at the Star Cloud Internet Technology that Wu Jie founded himself; since the launch of that godly APP software, it has been achieving remarkable success.

And most importantly…

Wu Jie’s self-developed ‘software conversion tool’ was just recently sold to the renowned internet giant Microsoft.

Although the transaction price is unclear since it was only sold for three years of usage rights, looking at the reactions from companies like Apple and Google and their stock price plummeting, you know the deal was worth an absolutely terrifying amount.

One hundred million?

Even if it were a hundred million Gold Coins, Wu Jie could afford to lose without defaulting on the bet.

And the guests below the stage, the live broadcast audience.

How many of them could come up with a hundred million to take a gamble?

So…

No one is chattering nonsense.

This kind of silence, it’s just like in the classroom when a teacher gives a problem to solve.

The students don’t actively ask questions and even worry about being called upon to answer.

Therefore, many people didn’t dare to look Wu Jie in the eye, bowing their heads one by one, keeping a very low profile.

As time ticked away second by second, no one made a peep.

The press conference of tens of thousands of people was so quiet, it was as if no one was there at all.

Meanwhile, the live broadcast audience completely exploded.

Some quick-witted people already realized that something was off.

Who could, on the international bidding for the Zhuzhou SAM project, take on three giants alone, withstand the top three international powerhouses!

As a world’s top 500 Tanglong Industrial Group, how could it deceive the public?

Who could launch AI intelligent beauty recognition, new streaming media compression algorithms, software conversion tools, and shock the Internet!

Then how could Wu Jie be all talk with no substance, spouting lies?

So…

The Graphene Composite Battery must be genuinely amazing!

But knowing it’s amazing isn’t enough, you have to market and promote it, let the public know.

What to do?

An extremely classic marketing strategy appeared.

First, start with an outrageously high price tag, which sparked enough controversy, whetting people’s appetite, arousing everyone’s curiosity.

Then throw in a billion-yuan wager, making people further deepen their curiosity about the performance of the Graphene Composite Battery.

So what comes next…

do you even need to think about it?

There will certainly be a very impressive technical demonstration, silencing all the skeptics.

What is this?

Isn’t this a typical routine of showing off and slapping faces?

Applied to marketing, the effect is indeed amazing.

The key is…

Everyone still has to watch, because they are too eager to know just how powerful this battery is, why the three cars can sell for so much.

Before the big reveal, the anticipation was truly maxed out!

So there you have it!

The number of viewers watching the live broadcast just kept increasing.

Fiercely sending bullet comments, furiously leaving messages, it was absolutely explosive.

And at the scene…

Tang Xiao and Fang Qingya maintained their composed smiles.

After all, Wu Jie’s reputation as the ‘King of Tricksters’ is not unearned!

Moreover, the Graphene Composite Battery is indeed very good and powerful!

Otherwise, the experts and staff brought by Elder Tan wouldn’t be heaping praise on it.

And the related preferential policies wouldn’t have been issued so quickly.

They both were utterly calm, but not far away, Shu Mengyan was having a hard time keeping it together.

If it weren’t for her rigorous flight attendant training that she must remain calm under all circumstances, Shu Mengyan would definitely have her mouth open in an ‘O’ shape right now.

But even she, felt her smile was stiff and fake.

I’m truly impressed!

To bet a hundred million just like that, what’s called having wealth and being capricious, I’ve truly witnessed it firsthand.

Of course, Wu Jie also wouldn’t let the venue be quiet for too long, otherwise how could he carry on with the main event?

“So everyone’s convinced now, right?

No one dares to bet, huh?”

“If it’s because you can’t come up with a hundred million, then you’ve really misunderstood me!

“What I mean is, anyone who challenges, if your battery performance surpasses mine, I will lose a hundred million!”

“It’s not that you have to pay me a hundred million if you lose!

And whether it’s individuals or corporations, even teaming up is fine!”

“How about it?

Does anyone dare now?

It’s an opportunity to make money out of thin air!

A hundred million!

Don’t you want it?”

“If you lose, you don’t have to pay us; if you win, you can take away a hundred million, and I’ll even pay the taxes for you.

Aren’t you tempted?”

With that said, Wu Jie looked sincerely at the many guests below the stage.

As if he was especially, especially hoping that someone who disagreed would emerge.

But unfortunately…

The guests were just boisterously discussing among themselves.

Even though Wu Jie wasn’t asking them to lose money, still nobody dared to try.

“If no one here is up for it, what about the viewers watching the TV and online broadcast?”

“I don’t believe that in the world’s largest battery-producing country, there isn’t a single person or company daring to take up the challenge!”

“If you say this bet has come too suddenly, that you’re not prepared, or you haven’t decided which battery to use for the challenge!”

“Well then!

I’ll give everyone a month’s time; you can challenge us whenever you like!”

“A month, everyone, that’s more than enough time to meticulously design, produce, and manufacture a set of power batteries!”

“And remember, the prize money is a net hundred million after taxes, so nobody complains I didn’t pay enough after tax deductions!”

As Wu Jie got to this point, laughter suddenly erupted from the audience.

Was this really that funny?

Wu Jie was somewhat puzzled; perhaps it was the comedic tone of his speech that made everyone unable to hold back their laughter!

“Looking at everyone laughing so heartily, it seems you’re all very confident about winning that hundred million!”

Switching topics, Wu Jie gestured toward the three cars beside him.

“Back to the main topic, as for why these three cars are priced so expensively—why do they cost so much?”

“To put it nicely, it’s because the research and development costs are high, the equipment is top-notch, and the overall product performance truly justifies the price!”

“And to put it less nicely, it’s because I want to make a bit more money.

Only with money can we do even more research and provide more kickass technology!”

“In the end, you get what you pay for!

Whether you’re spending your money in vain or not, you’ll know after you have a test ride and drive!”

With that, Wu Jie bowed slightly.

The applause from below went on for a long time.

But Wu Jie had sharp ears and could hear some snide remarks.

“Tsk tsk!

I’ve attended countless new car launches, but this one really has been an eye-opener!”

“Who says he’s the King of Tricksters?

I think he’s clearly the King of Bullshit!”

“To think living off a woman could be this sweet; he really is something!”

“Did Tang Xiao fall for this guy just because he’s full of hot air?”

“All the recent breakthrough technologies were said to be his own development, but I reckon it’s definitely Tang Xiao giving him face, just a show-off gesture!”

“Exactly!

If he really was a genius, how come he was just a nobody before?”

…

Wu Jie pretended not to hear these quiet discussions.

The most important part of the event was up next—the test rides and drives.

If even Elder Tan’s team of experts and workers could be convinced,

were these invited guests going to be even more impressive?

So…

After the event, Wu Jie didn’t go to see how lively the test rides and drives were but went backstage instead.

“You really don’t play by the book, do you?”

Fang Qingya handed Wu Jie a bottle of water, smiling, “I thought you’d talk from a technical perspective, explain why the cars are so expensive, but instead you creatively came up with a hundred-million bet.

Not bad!

It’s gutsy and attracts attention!”

Wu Jie smiled faintly, opened the water bottle smoothly, and passed it to Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao didn’t hesitate, took a big gulp to quench her thirst in the heat, and then handed it back to Wu Jie.

Wu Jie took it and finished the drink.

This seemingly inconsequential gesture was natural and fluid.

Fang Qingya observed this quietly, her lips slightly curved, and her eyes glinted with admiration.

Oftentimes,

showing off affection doesn’t necessarily require hugging, coddling, or sweet nothings.

It also doesn’t need a special day or a special occasion, along with extraordinary gestures, to express love.

Just like what Wu Jie and Tang Xiao just did.

Wu Jie letting Tang Xiao drink first was him doting on his wife.

Tang Xiao not drinking much before giving it back to Wu Jie was her being considerate of her husband.

And Wu Jie drinking without even wiping the bottle’s mouth, wasn’t that like an indirect…

you know?

“I knew he’d play some new tricks, making our marketing strategy stand out from the crowd!”

Tang Xiao affectionately looped her arm through Wu Jie’s, her gaze brimming with admiration.

“I feel that the marketing strategy just now could go straight into the business warfare textbooks.

I bet there’ll be plenty of imitators from now on!”

Fang Qingya scoffed, “Imitate what?

You need real strength to play like this; otherwise, it’s not being awesome, it’s being stupid!”

With that, Fang Qingya cast a long look at Wu Jie.

“Alright then, I won’t disturb you lovebirds.

I’m going out to check on the test ride and drive event!”

As she spoke, Fang Qingya started to leave.

But just before stepping out the door, she suddenly turned around and asked:

“Hey, what do you two think about Shu Mengyan’s performance today?

I didn’t use Bai Fengling but chose her as the brand ambassador instead.

I didn’t choose the wrong person, did I?”

Without a word, Tang Xiao gave a thumbs-up.

As for Wu Jie, he wanted to praise her as well, but he definitely didn’t dare to!

What man with a working brain would compliment another woman in front of his own wife?

Fang Qingya gave a knowing smile, stepped out, and closed the door gently behind her.

The astute woman knew what Wu Jie was about to do next.

And sure enough!

As soon as the door closed, Fang Qingya didn’t hurry away but listened closely.

She immediately heard Wu Jie raise a question from inside the partition.

“What the hell?

The price doubled, why didn’t you tell me beforehand?”

“Would it have made any difference if I told you?

I knew you’d improvise, and a spontaneous response is obviously better than fixed preparedness!”

“Uh…

are you praising me?”

“Of course!

Who knows my husband better than I do?”

“You still don’t know me well enough; we definitely need to get to know each other much more deeply!”

…

Fang Qingya shivered with revulsion, goosebumps breaking out all over her body, as she quickly walked away.

She was too curious to know what those Zhongzhou oil tycoons thought after their test rides and drives…
