Chapter 389 Future Turmoil

Recently, Qingyun Company's reputation in Huaxia had been quite poor.

The products of Qingyun Company were excellent, but the prices were just too high. The high price wouldn't have been an issue, because the products were indeed worth the cost. But why were Qingyun's products so much cheaper in other countries?

Adding insult to injury, the owner of Qingyun Company was a native. This perceived exploitation of his own people deepened the resentment many Huaxians felt towards Qingyun Company and its owner, Lin Yun.

"Even if the government bombed the Qingyun Building, forcing you out of Huaxia, there was no need to take such drastic revenge...

"You built the Qingyun Building improperly, and you dare to justify it?"

"Your products led to the unemployment of many factory workers, yet you provided India with millions of jobs. Ironic, isn't it?"

There were scores of similar comments. Some individuals attempted to voice more balanced points of view, but these were quickly buried or diverted by an invisible force shaping the discourse online.

The official tax on Qingyun Company's products was confidential, average citizens didn't have this information. The formal statement beckoned that the tax was enforced in accordance to market laws, which only further misled the public.

"Did Lin Yun, show no reaction? Was he indifferent to these remarks or simply unconcerned about domestic product sales? Perhaps he no longer had any significant influence."

"He wouldn't ignore these comments as he was known to manage these online platforms, and being young, he should care. As for being unconcerned about domestic product sales...unlikely. There are 1.5 billion people domestically which provides a significant market size that no global power can afford to snub. By the process of elimination, the last possibility seems very likely..."

"Right now, Qingyun Company's products are in short supply. So, the second possibility also exists. Even if he does care, it might not be immediate..."

"Let's raise the taxes a bit and intensify the public opinion!"

In a secret place, people spoke in hushed tones.

...

"Damn! The prices of Qingyun Company's products have gone up again!"

"They've risen by half!"

"Damn it! This is retaliation! Absolute retaliation!"

"I'll never use Qingyun Company's products again. No matter how good they are!"

The Internet was once again abuzz.

...

"Little Cloud..."

"Cousin!"

"Do you see what image our family has been attributed domestically?"

"Some people from our old hometown have been casting aspersions on us."

Even as Lin Yun was exercising, his parents and a few relatives came by. Some were smiling bitterly while others were angry. His two cousins held out their phones, pointing to the domestic news.

"Little Cloud, see if there is any way to resolve the matter. As the saying goes, wealth doesn't return to its hometown is like a fancily dressed person traveling at night. Besides, people live for their faces as trees live for their barks. Take a look at the things they are saying about us. Find adventures on empire

If nothing else works, we could move Qingyun Company into the country or open another manufacturing plant here," Lin's mother sighed.

"Mom, Dad, it's not as easy as moving Qingyun Company back home. I had thought of starting a venture domestically in the past," Lin Yun looked at his parents, sighed faintly, and said.

He had indeed overlooked this matter, assuming that if he didn't care, his family would also be indifferent.

"Tell you what, I'll handle it," pausing briefly, Lin Yun continued.

After everyone left, Lin Yun set to work on resolving the issue.

In fact, he'd occasionally pondered this matter and had a few ideas.

Lin Yun simply didn't want to pay attention to these petty matters. However, upon checking the online discussions, he was infuriated.

Just like those people said, he was, after all, a young man.

"Since you insist on being the one to start it, you can't blame me for being the one to finish it," Lin Yun snorted coldly.

Back when he had interacted with the offspring of those powerful entities, he had intentionally recorded the encounters. The thought was to keep them for proof in the future, but he hadn't expected it to end up this way. He also collected comments made by some officials.

"You are Lin Yun, the owner of the Qingyun Hotel?"

"I didn't expect you to be a martial artist, and quite a powerful one at that... What gives you the right to these substantial profits? Is it due to your so-called martial arts skills?"

"I give you three days. Transfer 80% of the shares of the Qingyun Restaurant, Qingyun Hotel, and Qingyun Company to my name. You should be grateful you stumbled upon me. I'm generous enough to leave you with 20% of the shares. If it were someone else, you might not be left with anything."

"Hello, Director Li? Feeling the pressure on the internet? Does our government need to worry about the pressure from the internet? I'm telling you, without our permission, you must make the Qingyun Company incapable of operation. Otherwise, prepare for your dismissal..."

"Director Zhang? Haha, still on that matter, Qingyun Company, you better keep a close eye. Make sure to regulate the firefighting issue. What, Qingyun Company's firefighting is fine? Even without any issues, can't you create one? What rules?

Weren't these rules formulated by you? Do I need to teach you about this? Inspect them and shut them up for ten to fifteen days, just a few times will do..."

"Section Chief Li, I'll leave this matter to you. You don't need to do anything, just conduct a few more inspections. Even if the products of Qingyun Company don't pose any problem, you must meddle till they can't produce..."

Video after video was produced, each indicating the identities of the speakers, their backgrounds, and the time of their statements.

"Boom-Boom-Boom."

"Boom!"

Soon, a film-like gunfire broke out at a hotel.

The identities of the Flying Eagle Guards, the slain staff, and the security personnel with their identity, home address, and detailed information were displayed in the video clips. Everything was traceable.

Lin Yun didn't only post about the adversary's issues, and also shared images of him seeking revenge.

The two enormous clans he annihilated, the subsequent process, and him being pursued by Sky Group members were included.

Additionally, he added footage of the two clans' various violations - all incredibly detailed, including the person, time, location, video clips, and countless other aspects.

Then, at the martial arts convention, he was almost killed by the Supreme Elder Taiyi of the Sky Group.

Afterward, there was his battle with the Sky Group members in Immortal Origin County, where officials used super weapons against Immortal Origin County, and then the scene where he blocked them.

Finally, a concluding message came through in the video.

"My conflicts with some parties have become irreconcilable. All I can do is try my best not to harm my homeland. Also, the wholesale prices of all Qingyun Company's products are the same. It is more expensive domestically because the tax is up to 500%..."

"Lastly, Qingyun company plans to launch a virtual reality game called Future Legends. The game's virtual reality intensity is as high as 99%. Not only can you learn various cultivation knowledge, but you can also fast track to become stronger. Moreover, the Qingyun Currency earned in the game can be exchanged for real currency. Qingyun Company guarantees this…"

"If you want to be as powerful as the martial artists in the previous videos, go inside the game, and study various cultivation knowledge..."
