Chapter 12934
Lin Yi's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "You mean, we should be the organizers of this auction?"
"Exactly."
Zhang Baiyu nodded and said, "After all, we've made so many preparations beforehand, and the plans are all ready-made."
"Elder Yuehua can not only steal the spotlight but also get the lion's share, all without having to worry about being bullied. I can't think of any reason why she would refuse."
Lin Yi pondered for a moment, fiddling with his knuckles: "It makes sense logically, but we need to prepare a backup plan in case that woman uses us and then discards us."
After discussing it for a while and going over all the key details, Lin Yi immediately sent a message to Elder Yuehua to express his intention to cooperate.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Elder Yuehua hurriedly returned.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Elder Yuehua, we meet again so soon?"
Elder Yuehua said with disdain, "I've never seen anyone as shameless as you. Given the grudges between us, how dare you take the initiative to propose cooperation with me?"
Lin Yi chuckled casually and said, "The world is bustling with activity, all driven by profit. With Elder Yuehua's broad vision, surely she can see through even this little thing?"
"Furthermore, there is no personal grudge between us. Even if there is a conflict, it is about the issue, not the person."
"Elder Yuehua, what do you say?"
Elder Yuehua: "..."
Having suffered several setbacks in the past, Lin Yi was, in her eyes, not a mortal enemy, but definitely not a kind person.
If she had any other choice, she would have loved to kick Lin Yi a few times over. How could she possibly cooperate with him willingly?
Now, faced with the olive branch extended by Lin Yi, she actually ran back again.
I feel so pathetic just thinking about it.
Elder Yuehua said with a dark face, "Stop talking nonsense. I'm very busy right now. How do you want to cooperate with me? I'll only give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to convince me."
Lin Yi said calmly, "It won't even take an incense stick to burn. My meaning is very simple: I have a complete set of admission ticket auction plans ready here, and all the elements are in place."
"As long as Elder Yuehua agrees, I can help you convert all the entrance tickets to the Mystic Realm into cash."
"As for the profits, we'll split them 50/50."
Elder Yuehua jumped up in anger upon hearing this: "Fifty-fifty? How dare you ask for that! You don't even have a single ticket, how dare you ask me for a fifty-fifty split?"
Lin Yi waved his hand dismissively: "Since Elder Yuehua disagrees, then pretend I didn't say anything."
"I just feel sorry for Elder Yuehua. You had a rare opportunity to make a good profit, but in the end you not only missed it, but you even had to be leeched off by the Goddess Academy."
I really feel sorry for you!
Elder Yuehua's face darkened: "Don't try to sow discord with me! My loyalty to the Goddess Academy is none of your business, an outsider."
Despite saying that, she showed no intention of leaving.
Ultimately, given her dislike for Lin Yi, the fact that she would be here at this moment indicates that she had no better choice.
Everything was as Lin Yi and Zhang Baiyu had expected.
To be fair, she was an elder of the Goddess Academy, and after so many years of building her network, her connections and resources weren't bad.
However, when it comes to finding a suitable organization to help her organize this auction, there isn't really a suitable candidate at the moment.
Putting aside other concerns, if she were to find another company to cooperate with, she wouldn't be able to explain it to the Goddess Academy alone.
Conversely, if she were to cooperate with Lin Yi, she could easily go with the flow and hide herself behind him.
Even if the Goddess Academy questions her about it later, she can still pin the blame on the racetrack's main god.
When the time comes, if the track's master orders Lin Yi to assist, everything will fall into place naturally and logically.
Elder Yuehua paused and said, "All the entrance tickets to the Mystic Realm are in my hands. I can do whatever I want with them. It's not your place to worry about this for me."
Lin Yi looked at her quietly: "Elder Yuehua is right. Of course, this is just a suggestion. If you think there is no need to cooperate with me, then I won't see you off."
Elder Yuehua snorted coldly: "Nonsense."
He immediately turned and left.
There was no sign of lingering, but their steps grew slower and slower.
Lin Yi and Zhang Baiyu exchanged a smile, but neither of them spoke.
To put it bluntly, if today's proposal wasn't the other party's optimal solution, she wouldn't even be here.
No matter what they say, it's just a pose to try and lower the price.
Sure enough, when they were almost at the door, Elder Yuehua couldn't hold back any longer and stopped in her tracks.
She turned coldly to look at Lin Yi: "I'm giving you one last chance to convince me. I want to see what gives you the audacity to ask for this."
Lin Yi smiled slightly: "These entrance tickets to the Mystic Realm all have owners."
One sentence caused Elder Yuehua's expression to change drastically, and she immediately broke down.
That's the real problem.
The admission tickets were engraved with the names of various factions, meaning that if she were to send them out through normal means, she would at most receive a fee for her hard work, without any real benefit whatsoever.
If someone really wants to make a fortune, as Lin Yi said, holding an admission ticket auction is the most readily available solution.
The key is that this plan must be meticulously designed, and no step can go wrong, to ensure that every ticket ends up in the rightful owner's hands.
If the slightest mistake is made, the consequences will be unimaginable.
This plan is something Elder Yuehua couldn't come up with in a short time by herself, let alone implement perfectly.
That being said, even if she were to hold an auction, Lin Yi wouldn't necessarily be her only option.
Now that Lin Yi has said those words to her face, she has absolutely no other choice.
Elder Yuehua gritted her teeth and said, "So, that admission ticket you sold me before was a scam from the very beginning, wasn't it?"
Lin Yi did not deny it: "From a business perspective, isn't what Elder Yuehua is doing the same thing?"
"..."
Elder Yuehua was speechless for a moment.
After a moment of hesitation, she could only say with a dark face, "First, show me your proposal. If it's unreliable, then there's no point in discussing anything further."
Lin Yi gave Zhang Baiyu a wink.
Zhang Baiyu immediately presented the complete plan that he had carefully prepared.
Lin Yi wasn't worried at all about the other party getting something for nothing, after all, he held the most crucial leverage over them.
If Elder Yuehua dares to play the "discard the millstone after it has served its purpose" trick, all he needs to do is reveal the truth that the admission ticket already has an owner, and he can immediately bring the elder to ruin.
For a full half hour, Elder Yuehua reviewed the entire plan three times over, and finally couldn't help but look at Zhang Baiyu: "Did you come up with all of this?"
Zhang Baiyu bowed slightly: "I apologize for making Elder Yuehua laugh." (End of Chapter)
