Demons Beside You Chapter 623 - Winnip’s Call

Chapter 623: Winnip’s Call

Ding!
Two million dollars have been transferred to your account 45***. Your current balance is $3,922,441.15.
If you asked Chen Zhao what was the best thing in the world, it would be watching his current balance keep raising while he was saving up money.
He picked up his phone and kissed the screen. It was close to four million dollars in savings.
He counted as a rich person now, right?
Of course, the happiest thing was that Laurent finally scrammed.
Finally, no one would disturb his two-person world with Fali.
Just then, Rasfa called. “Chen, did you get the transfer?”
“Yes, thank you, Rasfa.”
“Ha… You gained money and I gained connections. In the end, I gained without giving anything. I got a lot just with the Purple Brew.”
Chen Zhao knew that, in this world of interests, one had to pay to make money.
He couldn’t make Rasfa promote the wine without doing anything.
Of course, he could, but it would cost feelings.
He would have to pay that back too. No one was required to pay or sacrifice for someone else.
If Chen Zhao relied on his own connections, he mostly only knew regular people.
Even though he had Risfar and Dell, he couldn’t sell them wine every day.
Dell was rich, but he couldn’t take all those expenses either.
As for Risfar, it was the same. It would affect their relationship if he sold his own stuff to them for such a high cost.
After ending the call with Rasfa, Zola’s call came in.
“Zola, did you discuss it with your dad to call right after him?”
“You were talking with Rasfa? No wonder I couldn’t get through.”
“Is something wrong?”
“I can’t call you just because I want to?”
“Sure, of course.”
“Can you lend me Princess for a few days?” Zola asked.
“See, you do need something,” Chen Zhao teased.
“Will you lend me her or not?”
“If you need Princess, you can come and take her the day of and return her the day of too. Why do you need her for a few days?”
“Actually, I need to go to New York.”
“Oh? When?”
“June 20 to 25,” Zola said. “My brand is opening up a new business in New York. There’s a fashion show.”
“I’m going to New York on June 21st too.”
“Oh? It would be even better if you can come.”
“No, no. I won’t go to the fashion show. It’s too repressive to Fali and I.”
“Fine.” Zola was slightly disappointed. “What are you doing in New York?”
“Going to see the New York leg of the Diamond League race.”
“You like track?”
“No, my friend is competing.”
“Oh. How about we go to New York together?”
“Sure, but how will we transport Princess? She doesn’t like to be in a cage.”
“We’ll just borrow Rasfa’s private jet,” Zola said. “Oh, I’ll have Tris, Nat, and Cooper go over to you in a few days. They’ll call when they go.”
“This isn’t necessary, right? Fali and I don’t need clothes.”
“You’re overthinking. It’s for Princess, not you. She’s going to take part in the fashion show, so she obviously needs her own tailored outfit.”
“Oh, yeah.”
Chen Zhao really did think too much.
But he had to admit that Tris, Nat, and Cooper were talented in fashion design.
Even though his and Fali’s clothes had been hanging in the closet ever since that day, both the suit and gown were very beautiful.
…
Chen Zhao was quite bored these days.
But he didn’t think he would get Winnip’s call. “Chen, are you busy?”
“No, Winnip. How are you?”
“Laurent came back. He said a lot of bad things about you.”
“Ha… Laurent loves joking around.”
Winnip knew that Chen Zhao and Laurent didn’t have a good relationship.
Of course, she wouldn’t go ask about them either.
“Chen, the wine that you had Laurent bring back is great.”
“If you like it, then I’ll send you two bottles the next time I produce more.”
“Have you thought about selling the wine in my supermarket?”
“Uh…no…” Chen Zhao said honestly.
What kind of place was a supermarket? It had a small profit but a quick turnover rate.
There were some luxury items, but the highest price was only a few ten thousand dollars.
How could he sell million-dollar-wine there?
Chen Zhao wasn’t crazy.
Of maybe Winnip didn’t know the price yet.
“Chen, I know what you’re worried about.”
“Winnip, are you sure you know the cost?”
“I saw the news. Plus, I have friends in the upper class of L.A. too. I know what the value of the Purple Brew is to them.”
“But you still want to…”
“I considered three points. First, this allows regular people to learn about the Purple Brew. Even if they don’t get a chance to taste it, if you put it in my supermarket, they’ll be able to see the bottle and produce many fantasies about it. Second, it’ll obviously attract more customers. Third, it’s the most direct benefit. You’ll supply my supermarket a collector’s edition of the Purple Brew and set a price that no wealthy person would buy. This would produce an even bigger uproar.”
Chen Zhao considered it. “You said to set a price that no wealthy person would buy. What price is that?”
“Ninety-nine million nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine dollars.”
One hundred million dollars!! No wonder Winnip said no one would buy it.
Even people he knew, like Rasfa or his own mother, wouldn’t pay for that.
Instead of something to be sold, it was more like an artifact.
But then, Chen Zhao got another idea.
What if he combined the Purple Brew with the Spring of Youth? Would that combined effect qualify for that number?
He could try the effect first.
“Winnip, I can’t give you an answer now. I have to modify the wine. I can’t just change the label and multiply the price.”
“Chen, no one will buy it anyway.”
“But what if someone does? What if the customer finds out that the collector’s edition is the same as regular Purple Brew? This isn’t a regular name-brand bag. This is 100 million dollars. If someone really bought it, it would be a huge blow to your supermarket and the Purple Brew. I don’t want to take this risk.”
“Fine, but are you sure you can raise the value of the Purple Brew ten times higher?”
