Zhan Lingfeng did not expect such a huge benefit. When this benefit emerged, Zhan Lingfeng was astonished. To know that one hundred bags were worth fifty million Celestial Crystals, then what if there were more?
Even if he only received half, that would still be twenty-five million Celestial Crystals. What would everyone think about this?
When he looked at the crowd, he indeed noticed that everyone's gaze had changed.
Zhan Lingfeng was not someone who was oblivious to the situation. Faced with this matter, he realized that his desire to keep a low profile and secretly accumulate wealth was no longer possible. The first issue was whether he could protect such a large benefit.
Fortunately, Huang Chengtong did not seem to have such thoughts. He smiled and said, "Very good. With this advantage, the entire Wangduan Mountain Village can be considered as Poverty Alleviation. This is a good thing. I believe that with the development of this company, the next step for the entire township will also progress more quickly."
"Leader, I am worried that everyone will have ideas upon hearing about such huge benefits."
Fu Weiwei's gaze towards Zhan Lingfeng had changed as she said this.
Huang Chengtong snorted and said, "I know your concerns. No one is allowed to reach out for this benefit. Xin, you can handle this matter; if anyone dares to cause trouble, just watch how I deal with them."
Though he said this, Zhan Lingfeng could see the worry in his eyes. He knew that there were many forces stronger than him; what could a countryside official like him do?
Fortunately, many things could only be done in secret; on the surface, no one would act excessively.
Since it was to be done in secret, he did not need to worry too much about it.
With the help of the countryside, soon one hundred bags of medicinal powder arrived, and they had also contacted the Pharmaceutical Company; they just needed to transport it over.
Zhan Lingfeng personally accompanied them. With Huang Chengtong's assistance, everything went very smoothly, and several tens of millions of Celestial Crystals were deposited into Zhan Lingfeng's account.
In a hotel in Zong Province City, when Zhan Lingfeng looked outside, he realized that this celestial realm was indeed similar to Earth but more advanced and filled with technological elements; it was a very developed place.
There was no traffic congestion; although there were many people on the streets, everyone moved as if riding the wind, their clothing serving as an excellent vehicle.
"Sir, this is the Smart Brain. Everything can be done on it, including transactions."
When Zhan Lingfeng arrived at a place selling Smart Brains, he was shocked to see them. In fact, this special device was already being used for transactions in the city, much like the Sky Net in Cultivation Civilization, where everyone could conduct business online. Everything could be handled through this network; however, the cost of purchasing a Smart Brain was extremely high, making it unaffordable for most people. One unit cost one hundred thousand Celestial Crystals, and very few families in the countryside could afford it.
Zhan Lingfeng naturally wouldn't hesitate to spend money and directly bought a Smart Brain. He then spent some Celestial Crystals to connect to the network and access Xianwang.
With this device, Zhan Lingfeng could finally resolve his long-standing issue of being unaware of the outside world while living in the mountain village.
Back at the hotel, when Zhan Lingfeng opened the Smart Brain, he was instantly stunned by what he saw. This was truly an advanced place; technological development had reached a very high level. Even someone with great cultivation would meet their end against such technological weapons.
Seeing this made Zhan Lingfeng feel a bit troubled. His original thought was that if his cultivation was high enough, he wouldn't need to worry about being robbed. Now it seemed that his thinking might have been somewhat misguided.
Faced with such powerful forces, having wealth meant nothing. In the Immortal Realm, one still had to follow the Official Currency Road; otherwise, there would only be a dead end.
After studying for a while longer, Zhan Lingfeng abandoned the idea of taking a shortcut. That path was truly too difficult; the Celestial Kingdom was incredibly powerful, and he had no hope of succeeding.
Manufacturing abroad?
Zhan Lingfeng also set that idea aside as it seemed completely impossible; other Celestial Kingdoms were in similar situations.
Sitting there while sipping Immortal Tea, Zhan Lingfeng began to think seriously.
However, what reassured him somewhat was that there were still rules and regulations in place. The Celestial Kingdom had many laws designed to protect private interests, so at least on the surface, there shouldn't be any issues.
The resources are for the people!
Suddenly, Zhan Lingfeng thought of something.
Since he couldn't monopolize these benefits, why not share them with everyone?
Zhan Lingfeng believed that this approach would be beneficial for all parties involved.
Thinking back to the content he wrote about wanting to get rich through Road Construction during his exam, and then looking at the situation on the streets, Zhan Lingfeng felt disheartened. No matter how well he answered, even if he performed poorly, he would still be accepted. In the immortal realm, there was no need for roads; there were clothes that allowed for flight and some flying vehicles for transporting goods. Even the people from the Pharmaceutical Company mentioned that they now knew they could obtain medicinal powder from Wangduan Village. They could send vehicles to collect goods without needing to come in person.
For him, the most advantageous aspect was his patent.
After reflecting on this matter, Zhan Lingfeng realized that giving 49% of his shares to Countryside was unnecessary; he could completely manage his affairs independently.
This might be the reason for the information asymmetry!
Shaking his head, Zhan Lingfeng thought about how Huang Chengtong and others had connections. They merely obtained information from Xianwang and contacted the Pharmaceutical Company.
However, Zhan Lingfeng also understood that Countryside likely only had Smart Brain technology within the government. Few families could afford a Smart Brain; even if they could, it would only be a handful of families. Otherwise, Countryside wouldn't be so impoverished.
Having clarified his thoughts, Zhan Lingfeng felt less worried. Although the benefits he received were substantial, in a world like Xianwang where immortals were everywhere, his income was not significant.
Nevertheless, what he envisioned still needed to be executed. Since he had decided to pursue a career as a civil servant, he had to excel in this path and be willing to sacrifice certain benefits.
Since he came from Wangduan Village, he would start by transforming this village completely into a model of his achievements.
Zhan Lingfeng had made up his mind; from now on, whatever responsibilities he took on must be done to the best of his ability, leaving no room for criticism. At the same time, he would leverage these accomplishments to continuously rise through the ranks.
