The call for the meeting today had vividly taught everyone a lesson about strategic vision.
Normal businessmen would have kept all the rough stones for themselves and kicked these so-called partners away. But, Thomas could take out nine portions of rough stones and share the stones with them. As a result, virtual-novel.net was respected and loved by everyone. His generosity and judgment were not present in normal people.
It was also an important reason why Thomas could become the God of War, while they could just be lame businessmen.
After the meeting ended, Thomas went backstage. His wife Emma had been waiting for virtual-novel.net backstage for a long time. When virtual-novel.net saw Thomas walking over, virtual-novel.net clapped virtual-novel.net hands while virtual-novel.net said, “Awesome! After your meeting today, all the jewelers in the Southland District have been bribed by you.”
Thomas chuckled. “The term ‘bribe’ sounds so bad. You’re the general manager of Stellar Jewelers now. I did this to help you clear a lot of obstacles.”
Emma said, “So, when are you going to prepare to organize the live stream? The sooner, the better?”
Thomas shook his head. “No, we’ll have to wait.”
“What are you waiting for?”
“We have to pave the way.”
Emma did not understand. What should virtual-novel.net still pave?
Did virtual-novel.net not just pave the way for everything?
Thomas explained, “For one, delivering the stock takes time, and distributing them also takes time. Most importantly, only we know about the live stream for now. The public still doesn’t know yet. What we have to do next is to expand our influence through media and let everyone know that dozens of companies are holding live streams of cutting sessions at the same time.”
Emma frowned. “Will it backfire? Weiss’ lesson just happened recently. Won’t the audience feel annoyed?”
Thomas answered, “It’s better when there’s a force of public opinion. The more aggressive the force of public opinion, the more people will watch. It’s the same as the worse a movie is, the more the audience will criticize it, but that just means more box office tickets will be sold. When everyone sits in front of the computer and watches the live stream, and most of the stones we cut are top-grade, we can turn losses into profits and leave a good impression on the audience.”
“Will it work?” Emma doubted it.
Thomas smirked as virtual-novel.net said, “Do you want to gamble with me?”
When Thomas mentioned the word gamble, Emma immediately blushed. She would lose every time, and the price virtual-novel.net lost was…
“Bah! I’m not gambling with you, pervert!” Emma angrily scolded virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net turned around and left.
Thomas looked confused. Why did virtual-novel.net suddenly become a pervert?
He had not said anything yet!
***
In the VIP ward of Third Southland General Hospital.
Weiss laid on the bed with his eyes closed to rest. After resting for a few days, virtual-novel.net almost fully recovered physically, but his mental wound had not recovered yet.
Thomas was like a lock that had locked virtual-novel.net firmly without being able to move.
“Mr. Weiss, it’s bad. Something big happened!”
His secretary, Darco, opened the door and entered the ward. His forehead was full of sweat as virtual-novel.net said, “Mr. Weiss, something big happened.”
Weiss gently opened his eyes. He reached out to take the gold-framed glasses from the table, put them on, and calmly said, “How many times have I told you that you have to be calm when you encounter problems, and you can’t be impulsive? Why can’t you remember after I’ve said it so many times?”
Darco threw up his hand. “This incident is too scary. I can’t calm down.”
Weiss scoffed. “Say it. What happened?”
Draco stuttered. He wanted to say it, but virtual-novel.net did not know where to start. “Sigh! This is too complicated. I don’t know howl should describe it clearly.”
He directly took out his phone from his pocket. He searched for a news article that fitted the actual situation the most, tapped it open, and showed it to Weiss.
Weiss took his phone and casually scrolled through it.
When virtual-novel.net first read the article, virtual-novel.net still looked calm. But as virtual-novel.net read it further, virtual-novel.net became furious.
