How You Can Sue Me for My Crimes in Dreams

As for why he needed to get these people accustomed to it...

’The King of Chu favored slender waists, so many in his palace starved themselves to death.’

Everyone chases after what they consider desirable, and the definition of ”desirable” is set by those who have already attained it.

Their indulgences define what ”desirable” looks like.

Then, others will start chasing that image.

For example, beautiful women, fine wine, luxury cars, or even male models—these are all symbols of a ”desirable” change in status.

In other words, as long as the brand is established and the bundled software becomes a habit for the first wave of customers, a continuous stream of new traffic will follow!

As for penetrating the lower-end market...

The deeper, the better!

It was basically using other people’s money to expand your own market!

After all, most people wouldn’t stick with low-end software forever. Once they were ready to upgrade, their first choice would be us!

”As long as the software doesn’t suck!”

Xu Huo said.

Hearing this, everyone exchanged stunned and horrified glances.

They felt as though their brains were swelling, as if something was being forcibly crammed inside.

’You can... even do that!?’

Xu Huo wasn’t surprised by their reaction.

Computers were still a rarity these days. Across the entire Eastern Country, you’d be lucky to find one computer for every hundred people.

To them, the idea of a lower-end market ever ”upgrading” was unthinkable.

But...

Only Xu Huo knew how fast the Eastern Country would develop!

”If we’re short on funds, we can use a similar method later and charge some people for advertising.”

Xu Huo then looked at Zhang Niu.

”Right, they pay us a fee, and the phones they manufacture will automatically have our software pre-installed.”

Zhang Niu’s eye twitched.

’The official phone isn’t even built yet, and he’s already figured out how to fleece everyone...’

GASP.

Everyone drew in a sharp breath. If not for the fact that he was so young and apparently without a powerful family background, they would have suspected he represented some infamous international vulture fund.

”Mr. Xu, this is my business card.”

In the midst of their stupor, a middle-aged man spoke calmly, slipping his business card to Xu Huo.

”I’d like to invite you later...”

The others snapped out of it, their eyes twitching as they watched the scene unfold.

’That’s right, a business card! His contact info!’

Honestly, aside from his surname, they didn’t even know Xu Huo’s full name!

’We aren’t that important to him. At worst, he could just find someone else.’

’But him... A God of Wealth like him was irreplaceable.’

They also subconsciously began searching for their own business cards.

Unfortunately...

They weren’t in the habit of carrying business cards; they were the ones who usually received them, especially at a gathering of acquaintances for a new alliance.

They could only watch with envy as their old friend chatted animatedly with Xu Huo, whispering something to him.

”I’ll go to the front desk and get some paper and a pen!”

The middle-aged woman from earlier thought for a moment. ’No matter what, we have to exchange contact info,’ she decided.

She had just reached the door and placed her hand on the doorknob.

The next second...

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK~

A knock echoed through the room. Everyone froze. Zhang Niu said, ”Come in.”

Immediately after, the door opened.

A man walked in from outside.

”Sorry I’m late. Something came up at the bureau that needed handling. It involved prison planning—very troublesome. I had to work overtime for several days and rushed over as soon as I was finished.”

A man walked in. Although he verbally apologized, he didn’t look apologetic at all.

Seeing this, Zhang Niu paused for a moment, then walked forward with a smile.

”Haha, Old Liang, you’re so late I thought you’d been thrown in jail!”

”Come, come, let me introduce you. These are the members of the new organization!”

”You probably know Old Sun and Old Zhang, they’re old acquaintances.”

”But, there are two new faces you absolutely have to meet!”

As he spoke, Zhang Niu put his arm around the man and enthusiastically pushed him toward Xu Huo.

”Here, this is Mr. Xu, and this is Xiao Wang. Good lord, these two are the most brilliant geniuses I’ve ever met!”

Saying this, Zhang Niu looked at the man again.

”This is Zhang Liang. I can’t say which department he’s from, but he’s the one providing our backing.”

”Haha, you two should take this opportunity to get acquainted!”

Zhang Niu said enthusiastically.

However, the atmosphere in the room was a bit strange.

At that moment, Wang Chao, who was busy stuffing his face, seemed to realize something. A noodle hanging from his mouth, he looked up, glanced at Zhang Liang, and froze on the spot.

Xu Huo looked at Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang looked at Xu Huo.

The two locked eyes.

Zhang Liang’s expression was a mixture of four parts bewilderment, four parts astonishment, and two parts pure shock.

The next second...

Zhang Liang whipped his head around to look at the frozen Wang Chao. His heart dropped, and he subconsciously exclaimed:

”This is bad!”

’Bad?’

”Group Leader Wang, how can you say something like that the moment we’ve met!?”

Wang Chao was very unhappy, but after a moment’s thought, he lowered his head, feeling a bit guilty.

”You three...”

Zhang Niu looked back and forth, finally sensing that something was off about the atmosphere. He asked tentatively in a low voice,

”You know each other?”

”Acquaintances?”
