Chapter 667: Chapter 667 Delusional Infatuation Chapter 667: Chapter 667 Delusional Infatuation Feng Jun glanced at Huang Fu Flawless and blinked, “Solar energy can indeed generate electricity, but it's not very stable… If we encounter more than ten days of cloudy weather and the battery reserves are insufficient, then there will be no electricity available.”
Now in Earth Realm, solar power generation is actually not uncommon, but the cost of batteries is very high.
In Feng Jun's impression, in some Western developed countries, their own rooftops are equipped with solar panels, and the electricity generated is used by the household. Any surplus is fed back into the grid, and likewise, if there is not enough power generated, they use electricity from the main grid to supplement.
Even in some provinces and cities in Huaxia, this sort of pilot program has begun to be promoted. The difficulty lies in how to control the amount of electricity generated when integrating solar power into the main grid–after all, power dispatching is a major issue.
The other difficulty is how to settle accounts. Of course, in reality, settling accounts is not the issue, the relevant policies are the key…
In short, Feng Jun didn't think of solar power generation as mainstream from the beginning. He simply saw it as an optional supplement, with the main power grid as the focus.
If one did not have the main grid to rely on and used batteries for storage, the costs would indeed make one cry, even with considerable improvements in battery technology.
It's a very complex issue. Even though energy-saving LED lights are widely used, most city streetlights still do not use solar panels, which is quite telling.
However, Huang Fu Flawless didn't see it that way, “Can't electricity be stored like Spiritual Energy?”
That's… way over my head~~ Feng Jun's mouth twitched, if you were talking to me about the cost of batteries, I could barely hold a conversation with you, but as for how to convert electricity into Spiritual Energy, not to mention an arts student, even a science student would be clueless.
He didn't know how to explain this issue and simply looked at the other party with a disdainful gaze.
Huang Fu Flawless, really too clever for her own good, saw his expression and thought she had asked an inappropriate question.
She deliberately changed the subject, “Alright, I came because I heard that your Task Management System has received high praise from both Wuyou Platform and the Pan Family, so I wanted to ask if you could give me a demonstration. The Tiantong Commerce Alliance is also interested in purchasing a set.”
Feng Jun slapped his forehead, “Now that you mention it, I did indeed forget about that. Your Commerce Alliance would find it very suitable.”
“Then you…” Huang Fu Flawless glanced at the Spirit Gathering Array, “Will you be cultivating today?”
Feng Jun was eager to discuss this deal with her. If the Tiantong Commerce Alliance could use his system, it wouldn't just be convenient–it would be perfect for the Commerce Alliance to handle sales of the system.
After all, they were a professional sales company, surely they had professional sales talents, saving him the time and effort of explaining.
Additionally, the Commerce Alliance could use itself as an example to persuade customers.
In the end, this system isn't much use for small clients, but the larger the company, the more visible the benefits.
For example, Feng Jun's family store would never use this system in this lifetime–even if he could provide it to his parents for free.
The Tiantong Commerce Alliance has a plethora of big clients; selling one set really means selling a set.
But Feng Jun really disliked Huang Fu Flawless's manner of speaking and doing things, especially her ability to set the tone, and this time she had done it again.
So he nodded, “Of course I'll be cultivating. If your Commerce Alliance is interested in purchasing this system, you can go and learn about it from Chen Junsheng.”
Wang Botai spoke up from the side just after he finished speaking, “How do you know that we at Wuyou Platform like this system?”
As a disciple of Wuyou Platform, he hadn't even heard this rumor.
Huang Fu Flawless glanced at him and gave a faint smile, “The two deals that Feng Daoist has done with your Wuyou Platform have good reputations; it's no secret. I'm just a little more well-informed.”
Listening to her response, Feng Jun's irritation subsided slightly.
That evening, after he came down from the mountain, the Spirit Gathering Array was still operational due to the presence of many people cultivating.
An Intermediate Level Earth Realm Spirit Gathering Array really consumes a lot of Spirit Stones, but Feng Jun had no intention of shutting it down casually. After all, it took a good half day to gather Spiritual Energy when activated, so why be so petty?
After having dinner, he was planning to draw some Talismans when Lang Dadai came to report, “Pan Renjie from Wuyou Platform is here to visit.”
Mi Yunshan had also been frequently leeching Spiritual Energy outside the Spirit Gathering Array, and with fewer people available around Feng Jun, Lang Zhen took the initiative to recommend his daughter for the job. With an Immortal in sight, it made sense to push his family to get closer.
Pan Renjie's visit was actually based on news from his clan that the Contribution Point System was being used effectively, and he wanted to ask Feng Jun if the Pan Family could act as a vendor for it.
This was indeed a coincidence; Chairman Huang Fu inquired in the morning, and now the Pan Family also came.
However, Pan Renjie's attitude was somewhat lukewarm.
It turned out that after the Pan Family started using this system, they found it quite good, especially as Pan Jinxiang had so many children, there were always complaints about unfair treatment.
For a clan to develop well, fairness is most important, but… it's difficult for even a clear-headed official to resolve family matters.
Now, there were no more disputes. Everything was based on data, no more needless arguments, if anyone was not convinced, they could have an open discussion.
Then some members of the Pan Clan thought, “Hey? We've made a good amount of money from selling the Spirit Gathering Arrays, and they were also provided by this person.”
After discussing for several days, the Pan Family decided to take over this agency business as well.
However, for Pan Renjie, this was a very troublesome matter. He had already left the Pan Family, and when he bought this system before, it was just to lend them a hand, nothing more than a casual favor.
So when he came to negotiate for this system, his position wasn't exactly legitimate–what was most infuriating was that the family was hoping for an exclusive agency–they didn't want to just pick up scraps from Wuyou Platform like with the Spirit Gathering Arrays.
His father, Pan Jinxiang, was certainly capable, but the Pan Family was not a Golden Core Family, and most people there were rather short-sighted.
Being short-sighted wasn't a huge problem, but being unrealistic about one's capabilities and coveting things beyond one's reach, that was inappropriate.
Pan Jinxiang found it quite laughable. The Pan Family had some status, but an exclusive agency–was it possible?
The Pan Family's desire to bypass the Wuyou Platform and snatch the system was laughable enough, and now even the Tiantong Commercial Alliance had shown strong interest.
–Compete with the Tiantong Commercial Alliance? Better save the effort.
So he was feeling somewhat disheartened, but he couldn't just not show up; he had to come and give Feng Jun a heads-up.
Even he felt that way, so Feng Jun's feelings were even more negative.
“Anyway, whoever comes to buy the system in the future, just send them to talk to the Pan Family. Set your lowest price; how much they sell it for is their business, and you get a 10% profit from the excess”–he could actually say that. If I agreed to this, wouldn't I become a vassal to your family?
This condition was actually acceptable to Feng Jun. He could set his own cost price and still get a 10% profit on any excess amount. Back on Earth, even big brands might not be able to get such a deal.
However… an exclusive agency, exclusive agency, exclusive agency!
So Feng Jun looked at Pan Renjie with an extremely strange expression, “Old Pan, I used to think… we got along pretty well.”
Seeing his look, Pan Renjie felt increasingly embarrassed, “I'm just passing on the message. If you, Daoist Feng, think it's worth considering, then consider it. If it's inappropriate, just reject it outright, no need to consider my position.”
The words sounded quite reasonable. Feng Jun looked at him curiously, “Do you think I need to consider it? Huang Fu Flawless wants to talk about an agency with me, and I can't be bothered with her… Do you think your family does business better than Tiantong?”
“I've told you, don't consider me,” Pan Renjie replied dejectedly. But the next moment, he couldn't help but explain for his family, “Actually, this kind of deal isn't for retail; it mainly relies on connections. The Pan Family handling it would be better than leaving it to Wuyou Platform.”
He wasn't wrong, but Feng Jun just smiled, “Wuyou Platform's main business isn't commerce, but Tiantong is specialized in doing business.”
Pan Renjie fell silent. After a long while, he responded, “Anyway, be careful when cooperating with Tiantong. Anyone who can do business like that won't be simple.”
Feng Jun certainly believed this; the Soul Imprint Manual was the perfect example. However, he thought that having suffered a loss, Tiantong wouldn't be likely to pull any small moves on him over something so trivial.
So he smiled, “Worst comes to worst, I don't sell, it's not a huge business anyway…”
“Not selling would just be spiteful,” Pan Renjie said seriously. He had been using the Spirit Gathering Array to cultivate these past few days. Although the array was borrowed by him, the Spirit Stones were provided by Feng Jun, benefiting the four Wuyou Platform Disciples. It was neither a great favor nor an insignificant one.
Hence, he was still willing to offer some reasonable suggestions, “In my opinion, if you really want to cooperate with the Tiantong Commercial Alliance, then Huang Fu Flawless is actually not a bad choice. The Huang Fu Family is large and wealthy, and they might not care about this small amount of money… She mainly wants to do business.”
Actually, Feng Jun's previous words had trailed off precisely because he had considered this point.
–What's the harm in letting the Tiantong Commercial Alliance handle the business? After all, the market isn't that big.
He didn't have a very good impression of Huang Fu Flawless because she always liked to set the tone in conversations and actions, which made him uncomfortable.
If he put aside that aspect, his impression of Chairman Huang Fu was actually quite good–a keen sense of business is expected from a merchant. Not being shrewd would imply inexperience in business.
Now, Pan Renjie's words also reminded him: if he had to cooperate with Tiantong, Huang Fu Flawless truly was the best option. At the very least, she already knew he was not someone to be trifled with.
If he cooperated with someone else from Tiantong, he might have to go through similar probing. What would be the point?
So he nodded slightly, not outright refusing but expressing nonchalantly, “I'll consider it.”
The very next morning, he went to the Spirit Gathering Array, and Huang Fu Flawless had already arrived there.
Upon seeing him, Huang Fu Flawless greeted him with a bow, “Greeting Daoist Feng. May I ask…”
“I have already analyzed the Spirit Binding Array,” Feng Jun mimicked her manner and interrupted her, “I'll cultivate all morning, and at noon, I'll list the materials for you.”
Huang Fu Flawless was delighted, “What? You've already decoded it? That's great, can you right now…”
“Can't!” Feng Jun cut her off firmly, “I need to cultivate.”
