Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1419 - 1221: Schemes

When this message was released, the entire Capital City was instantly abuzz,

Everyone, regardless of their social level, was aware of the news and equally stunned,

Realizing that this item could actually be sold to them, how could they not be excited?

Especially those affluent and influential individuals, whose eyes were now shining brightly.

The first batch of recipients would probably be them, besides the officials, they were the wealthiest, and acquiring this item would certainly make them feel superior.

With these thoughts brewing, as soon as the news was announced, everyone began to take action,

they were racking their brains, trying to figure out how to quickly acquire this item, and according to the hints Lin Yi released, it was to be sold publicly,

there wouldn’t be a long wait, but it wouldn’t be available to him first either.

The first batch would be supplied to all officials and their department staff.

As for the merchants, they’d have to wait in line, and only if the supply was sufficient would they go on sale to them. As for the pricing, it wasn’t disclosed, nor would anyone mention it.

What Lin Yi had to do was quite simple, just inform the others that it would be sold but not stocked, not releasing it for sale to them. This approach intensified their desire for the phones,

but no matter what, they couldn’t obtain them. This longing made everyone increasingly covet the phones, raising their status in their hearts. Phones that initially seemed worth one or two thousand silver,

now soared in perceived value due to their unfulfilled desire.

So much so, that even if someone priced the phone at ten thousand silver, they wouldn’t hesitate; they’d even accept higher prices.

In short, with Lin Yi’s policy in place, everyone reassessed the phone’s value in their hearts.

The wealthier and more powerful wanted to obtain them even more, caring not about the cost, believing that the higher the price, the more it signified their status.

Moreover, they heard the phone could directly contact the emperor, allowing for face-to-face conversations over great distances, shocking them even more.

Of course, even with the phone in hand, they wouldn’t dare contact His Majesty recklessly, but just having this feature made them eager to acquire it.

Without exaggeration, if someone faced unfair treatment, they could dial directly to the Celestial Court, contacting the emperor,

and such a scenario frightened the officials, making them wary and cautious.

Therefore, these officials guarded their phones zealously, not allowing anyone to touch them.

This awareness prompted officials to be more cautious, pondering the implications if the phones were really distributed, worried about future challenges.

Lin Yi anticipated this, planning simply, wanting to use the system to create a protective network,

where only approved calls could come through, blocking unwanted ones. Although Dayou’s population wasn’t vast, they weren’t few either. If everyone wanted to call him, he’d do nothing but answer calls all day,

with officials handling matters, he wouldn’t need to oversee everything personally. If this were the case, what would be the use of the officials?

What role would managers play?

He was merely in charge of the entire situation.

Of course, if someone managed to breach the defense and call him, he wouldn’t ignore them.

Current technology made breaching the phone’s defenses time-consuming, unlikely to be achieved by this generation. And with the network set up, how would officials’ calls get through?

This required little worry, as it would be simple to pair the officials’ calls specifically.

Only calls from officials or pre-set numbers would come through, reducing much of his troubles.

These were side notes. Meanwhile, Lin Yi’s plan was to extract the silver held by these rich people, not wanting it to sit idly in their warehouses.
