Chapter 194 The Golden Core Stage and the Touchstone of $50,000

Harrison looked up, bewildered. "Agent?"

"Correct."

Lin Xi pulled an authorization document from his briefcase.

"Resign, and register a trading company of your own."

"I will give you the exclusive agency rights for the entire Red Star product line in North America."

"Whether you want to sell to Sears or Walmart, that's up to you."

"Even selling to street-corner grocery stores, that is your freedom."

"Every fan, every purifier."

"I don't look at the process, only the results."

"I will give you a 2% commission."

Lin Xi held up one finger.

"You know how many fans were sold last year."

"You know better than I do how much that 2% is worth."

Harrison's breathing instantly grew heavy.

He was an expert, and he quickly did the math in his head.

Red Star fans were a hit product.

Although this year's new purifier hasn't launched yet, as long as it's a Red Star product...

That number made his heart race wildly.

This was nearly 10 times higher than the measly fixed salary and bonus he got at Sears!

More importantly...

"Just think, when you hold the only source of such a hit product in the entire country."

Lin Xi coaxed him gently.

"That Simmons who kicked you out."

"For the sake of performance, won't he have to beg you for supply?"

"At that time, in whose hands will the pricing power be?"

Revenge.

Money.

These two words intertwined, igniting the flame that had already been extinguished in Harrison's eyes.

He had originally been a law-abiding middle-class man.

But under the stimulation of desperation and huge profits.

The gambler's nature hidden in his bones was thoroughly awakened.

"Deal!"

Harrison slammed the table, gritting his teeth.

"Lin! I'll do it!"

"Screw Sears, screw Simmons!"

"From today on, I am your most loyal..."

"Partner." Lin Xi said with a smile.

Then, a check was pushed in front of Harrison.

"Here is fifty thousand USD, a HSBC cashier's check."

"That is your startup capital."

"Go register the company, go hire the best lawyers to handle the legal work."

"Fill every shelf in Lighthouse Country with Red Star products."

Harrison took the check with trembling hands.

Fifty thousand USD, this was a huge sum of money.

Yet the other party gave it to him so lightly, without even asking for an IOU.

"Lin... aren't you afraid I'll run away?"

"You won't."

Lin Xi smiled faintly.

"Because you know, the money you earn by following me."

"Even just the spare change will be far more than this fifty thousand USD."

Harrison took a deep breath and solemnly tucked the check away close to his body.

By now, he had quickly stepped into his role.

"Lin, regarding that new product, Red Star - Qingjing."

Harrison leaned in closer, his eyes eager.

"How should I promote it?"

"Should I still use that concept of 'Qi' from last year?"

"I know, the fans are spirit-gathering arrays that can help them build their foundation."

"What about this purifier?"

Looking at this foreign agent who had already learned to self-indoctrinate, Lin Xi almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

He'd already learned to jump the gun?

"As expected of Robert, your comprehension is very high."

Lin Xi instantly composed his expression, putting on an inscrutable, charlatan-like demeanor.

"But that's not accurate enough."

"Do you... know about the Golden Core?"

"Golden Core?" Harrison mimicked the pronunciation with difficulty.

"This is the second stage of cultivation."

Lin Xi switched to his 'scamming' mode, without blushing or skipping a beat.

"The purifier treats every breath of air taken into the body."

"You need to tell those people in Lighthouse Country."

"Only the purest Primordial Qi."

"Combined with our specially made herbal filter cartridges."

"Can form a Golden Core inside the body."

Lin Xi spoke nonsense with a straight face.

"Once the Golden Core is formed, one's energy will be endless, and it will prolong life."

"Even that aspect... will return to being twenty years old."

The live stream chat exploded instantly:

[Pfft—What the hell, Golden Core stage! Streamer, have some humanity!]

[It's already the Golden Core stage? Does that mean next year we'll be pushing Nascent Soul stage air conditioners?]

[This isn't selling appliances, this is clearly MLM for cultivation!]

[Look at Harrison's expression... he believes it! He actually believes it!]

Ignoring the comments in the chat, Lin Xi pulled a thick stack of documents from his bag.

These were the marketing articles written by the netizens in the live stream last night through crowdfunding.

"Take these materials."

Lin Xi patted the stack of papers.

"Operate the same way as last year, you just need to swap out the articles."

Lin Xi pointed to the first page:

"Why Is Your Qi Always Leaking? Uncovering the Secrets of the Eastern Longevity Village"

"Golden Core: The Source Code of Life That the Rockefeller Family Doesn't Want You to Know"

"From Foundation Establishment to Golden Core: Breathing Determines Your Class"

Harrison took the materials as if they were a treasure, his eyes flashing with fanatical light.

If it were before, he would have thought this was the ravings of a madman.

But after experiencing the crazy sales of the fans.

He firmly believed that this was the bible to financial freedom.

"Genius... simply genius!"

Harrison muttered to himself.

"This is ten thousand times better than those cold, hard parameters!"

"People in Lighthouse Country fall for this!"

"Also, the same as last year." Lin Xi pointed to a few pages.

"Purchase a Red Star - Qingjing, and receive a free copy of 'Advanced Breathing Techniques'."

"Only those who have purchased it can own this secret manual."

"Go, Robert."

Lin Xi patted his shoulder.

"Don't let me down."

Watching the back of Harrison as he hurried away, clutching the materials like a gold brick.

Lin Xi picked up the cooled black tea and drank it in one gulp.

In his mind, the netizens in the live stream were a bit confused.

[Streamer, that's fifty thousand USD! Although this foreigner looks honest, isn't this too risky?]

[Yeah, human nature cannot withstand the test!]

Lin Xi calmly replied in his consciousness:

"This fifty thousand USD is just a touchstone."

"If Harrison runs away, I'll consider it fifty thousand USD spent to see a person's true colors."

"If he passes the test."

"Then, I've used fifty thousand USD to buy a guide who is familiar with the North American retail network and is devoted to me, which is extremely cost-effective."

"What's more..."

Lin Xi looked at the neon lights gradually lighting up outside the window, his eyes deep.

"In the upcoming plan, Harrison is an important pawn."
