Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Mingxin, do you mean that…” Upon hearing Liu Mingxin’s words, Liu Yihui was instantly shocked. “You had already previously foreseen that such a situation would occur? Why didn’t you tell me earlier, then?”

“I didn’t guess that this type of situation would occur.” Liu Mingxin slowly said, “What I’d foreseen was that something unexpected would definitely happen after Hong Dali became involved in this matter. I just did not think that this unexpected thing would come off so strongly, it’s hard to handle this.”

Upon hearing Liu Mingxin’s words, those below started to discuss among themselves.

“Young Master Mingxin had long foreseen that something unexpected would happen? What is this all about?”

“He said that Hong Dali was involved in it, isn’t Hong Dali that small prodigal from the Hong Family? There will be mishaps when he is involved in something?”

“This is really weird, this is the first time I see such a thing.”

Upon sensing the ambiguity in Liu Mingxin’s words, Liu Yihui curiously asked, “Mingxin, what is it exactly? Quickly tell me, did I miss something?”

“I’ll put it simply.” Liu Mingxin helplessly smiled. “Hong Dali is a prodigal, that’s true. But the problem is that, after my few encounters with him, I discovered that this person is extremely not as simple as he seems.”

“Not as simple?” All the executives below felt strange. “Are you saying that he has a good head for business? Or business foresight?”

“If that was it, it would be easy to tackle.” Liu Mingxin slowly said, “The most horrifying thing about him is not that. He’s indeed a prodigal, this is definitely, undoubtedly so. The real problem is that he is very very lucky, to the point where it has become extraordinarily so. You can even say that it’s horrifying.

“During my previous encounter with him, I’d already realized quite frequently that as long as he has even the slightest bit of involvement in something, everything will go very smoothly. On the other hand, once it goes against him, things will often be warped with misfortune.”

Once Liu Mingxin said that, the situation immediately became chaotic below.

“This… Young Master Mingxin, we are now in the technological era, what you’ve said, is objectionable, isn’t it?”

“Yes, hearing something so superstitious makes me jittery. Is he that scary?”

Regarding the various doubts raised below, Liu Mingxin merely smiled, and afterward, just one incident mentioned by him silenced those people below immediately.

Liu Mingxin said, “Right, Liang Yifeng went to attend Hong Dali’s coming of age ceremony for the first few days. I trust that everyone should have heard of this piece of news, right?”

Everyone below nodded.

Liu Mingxin continued, “Back then, Liang Yifeng had even wanted to challenge Hong Dali. In the end, he returned defeated without even having a chance to challenge him. This is still not the key. The key is that, Liang Yifeng actually agreed to cooperate with Hong Dali coincidentally. Later, when he got to know that Hong Dali was very lucky, he didn’t believe it and said that he wanted to give it a try. In the end, he went to buy a lottery ticket.”

“And then?” Everyone’s curiosity had been lifted up, as they hurriedly asked.

Liu Mingxin shrugged his shoulders. “He won 200,000.”

Sss—

Upon hearing of this incident that Liu Mingxin had brought up, everyone present drew in cold breaths.

Was that person’s luck really so great? This is cheating! Cheating!

With the news broadcast previously, coupled with the story that Liu Mingxin had just said, everyone was truly convinced this time.

They couldn’t be unconvinced about that!

A prodigal who was so lucky, who could stand it?

“In that case, Young Master Mingxin, do you happen to have any plans to handle this situation?!” This time, all the executives below were entirely out of ideas.

They could still cope with business competition, as they were at least of the same caliber as Hong Weiguo’s team of elites. However, when faced with such an oddball, Hong Dali, they truly didn’t know what to do. Now, though they were unwilling to, they had to admit that Hong Dali had really caused them to be at a loss as to what to do.

“Mingxin, since you know about the situation at Hong Dali’s side, then, do you have any ideas on what to do?” Liu Yihui now could only hope that this genius son of his would be able to think of a way to counter Hong Dali.

Even if he couldn’t counter Hong Dali, he could at least lessen some of his losses.

It was 3 billion, 3 billion! Not 300,000! 3 billion of liquid funds thrown into it, that was not a small amount!

If the money was really all gone just like that, it was hard to say how large a chain reaction Turkey company would be able to create.

“Dad, there’s no need to be anxious. Fortunately, I’m almost done with the arrangements that I’d made to handle the problems that would occur because of him. I believe that we’ll be able to reverse the trend of the situation very soon.” Liu Mingxin touched his forehead and slowly said, “It’s just that this incident has blown up too much. Now, I’m only hoping that we can soon change the direction things are going towards, as long as it doesn’t reach an irreversible state.”

“Fortunately, fortunately!” Upon hearing Liu Mingxin’s words, Liu Yihui finally heaved out a long sigh of relief.

This eldest son of his, Liu Mingxin, was much better than his rather incapable second son, Liu Mingcheng. If Liu Mingxin were to say that he had already made arrangements, that would definitely not be aimless words of his. As for what would happen afterward, he only hoped that things would turn out differently and he would not lose too badly.

After all, it was a huge project with 3 billion invested in it. Once any problem arose, he was afraid that even he would not be able to withstand the magnitude of its impact.

Ignoring his rapidly beating heart, Liu Yihui anxiously asked, “In that case, Mingxin, what should we do next? Quickly say it, after all, you understand Hong Dali much better than me.”

“I’ll say it first, then. However,” Liu Mingxin lowered his tone. “what I am going to say later may sound very absurd to all of you. However, you must not disregard it. Because, though I may be unclear about other things, all I know is that we absolutely can’t lose our guard against that superprodigal Hong Dali.”

“Okay, say it, say it, we’ll listen.” All the executives below decisively nodded their heads.

At times like this, what else could they say, it was naturally most important to resolve the crisis at present.

Liu Mingxin touched his chin as he walked around the conference room, affecting everyone’s sight, and closed his eyes again to think for a while. At last, he opened his eyes slowly and said with a low voice, “Our six sets of business services must contain both truth and untruths at the same time. It can’t be all true, neither can it be all fake.

“Space, every user can use it, and it has functions such as a diary, photo album, Weibo, and so on that are tied to it. Moreover, Turkey Space can be decorated by the users themselves. This is our business service, nobody can use this aspect to go against us. Thus, this portion is true. We must preserve it, and we must excel in this, and it must be the cheapest of all too!

“All users like to compare with each other, this Space is equivalent to their home on the Internet. Thus, what I suggest is that we carry out a limited sales promotion during the first month. A part of those decorative prop goods that are already charged at a relatively lower price will be free of charge. This will attract a large amount of popularity and create a brand effect. After all, on the Internet, popularity is forever the most important of all.”

After he’d said that, all the executives below raised their hands one by one as a form of response, and quite a number of people said, “Young Master Mingxin is right. I agree. On the Internet, those that do not want to spend money will forever form the majority. However, this group of people is instead the greatest source of popularity. Because there is popularity, people who are willing to spend money will invest in large amounts of funds, and thus, create a difference in terms of class. Their purpose of spending money is to enjoy this type of feeling of superiority.”

Liu Yihui nodded his head and immediately decided on the spot. “Okay, let’s operate this business service in this way.”

The first suggestion made by Liu Mingxin was basically approved just like that.

“However, we can still very well expand our business service with regards to Space, but regarding Weibo, we can’t directly go against Xinhai Weibo.” Liu Mingxin continued, “The winds howl around the highest peaks, while the hunter will shoot the bird that sticks out. Once we directly confront Xinhai Weibo, that will definitely stir them into launching an insane retaliation. Now that the Hong Family is able to invest funds into it, we definitely cannot allow them to form an alliance. My suggestion is, a Space Weibo, where we open this business service in the Space. However, do not carry out large-scale promotions for the time being. Just leave it as a service project of the Space and just make sure that it exists. Let it develop freely on its own.”

“This…” Upon hearing up to this point, Liu Yihui started to hesitate.

The biggest reason why he’d thought of Turkey Space was to have a share on Weibo.

However, now that Liu Mingxin had instead asked him to give up the opportunity of such a large-scale development, for a moment, it was hard for him to part with it.

The problem was that what Liu Mingxin said made sense.

If he’d carried out insane promotions of Xinhai Weibo, it would be impossible for Xinhai not to respond to it. Along with a few other business services, with Sangle leading the way, once those few companies joined hands, the probability of causing a mishap would be very high.

“Okay!” Given that Liu Yihui was able to advance in the business world till now, this proved that he was naturally someone with great vigor. As he understood the significance of having the determination to cut the wrist like brave warriors at the crucial moment, he spared no more hesitation and mercilessly pounded the table. “We’ll do that!”

“Chess Card game, that can be made true.” Liu Mingxin continued, “Among these few types of games, Chess Card games are the most inconspicuous. Moreover, there are currently a few Chess Card gaming companies not operating very well on the Internet, as the user experience is rather lacking. Thus, we can start from here and improvise the user experience, then bring forward the reward system of using Turkey coins to exchange for call fees, gifts, and so on. I believe that it can push the level of popularity up to the maximum within a short period of time. Moreover, what’s most important is that our competitors are not strong ones.”

Forcefully striking at Chess Cards gaming, this was what everyone didn’t expect. However, upon careful thinking, it was reasonable.

In this world, there was not a very high level of popularity in terms of gaming. However, after all, there were still many people who were willing to play for a while during their leisure time.

In that case, if Chess Cards gaming was properly developed like what Liu Mingxin had said, that might really be a very good idea.

Meanwhile, what Liu Mingxin thought was that Hong Dali seemed to enjoy playing games very much. By properly developing the gaming business service, and thus, get into the good books of Hong Dali, then his exceeding luck most definitely could create an impact on this side as well.

“Okay! We’ll do that! You definitely are my genius son, hahaha!” Liu Yihui roared with laughter. In that case, there was instantly a feeling of dispelling the clouds and seeing the sun. His entire being became much more relaxed.

“Yeah, yeah. As expected, Young Master Mingxin is still the greatest. Us bunch of old people didn’t even think of that.” All the executives below responded one after another.

Then, what happened afterward, made everyone present freeze.
