Chapter 93: Group Restructuring! The Five-Year Plan Begins!
After his “friendly discussion” with True Lord Xuantian, Chu Feng had completely cleared away the last internal obstacles within the sect.
Early the next morning, unable to contain his excitement, he convened the very first full senior management meeting of the “Qingyun Strategic Development Group” in the former Main Peak Hall.
The hall had been refurnished. The throne that once symbolized the Sect Master’s authority had been removed and replaced by a massive round conference table made entirely from a single block of ten-thousand-year ironwood.
Chu Feng sat confidently at the head of the table. To his left was the Chief Product Officer, Leng Yanran; to his right, the Chief Financial Officer, Liu Changqing.
Below them sat the Chief Operating Officer, Wu Hao; the Chief Security Officer and Director of Corporate Culture, Zhang Daniu; and the newly appointed Minister of the “Group Public Relations Department,” Elder Wang Xuanfu.
Further down were Wang Teng and the other newly promoted “directors” and “managers” of each division.
Everyone sat upright with solemn expressions. Each held a thick booklet hastily compiled overnight by Wu Hao, titled Ascension Group’s First Board of Directors (Expanded) Meeting Manual.
The entire scene carried an absurd yet ceremonial air—like a modern corporate conference transplanted into a cultivation sect.
Chu Feng looked around at these “executives” whom he had personally promoted and nodded in satisfaction.
“Everyone, good morning.”
He cleared his throat and began the historic meeting in a steady, powerful voice.
“First, on behalf of the Group, I’d like to officially welcome Elder Wang Xuanfu to our management team!”
“Elder Wang is a man of virtue and great experience. Having him serve as our Minister of Public Relations, responsible for maintaining friendly relations with the major sects of the Eastern Wasteland, is simply perfect! Everyone, please give him a warm round of applause!”
“Clap clap clap—”
Thunderous applause filled the hall.
Elder Wang Xuanfu’s face turned red as he quickly rose and cupped his hands.
“President Chu overpraises me. This old man… will dedicate himself entirely to the Group’s development, sparing no effort, even unto death!”
He was now completely convinced by Chu Feng.
Not only by his strength—but by his heaven-turning methods.
He knew that his old life was now firmly tied to this great ship called the Ascension Group.
“Good!”
Chu Feng pressed his hand down, gesturing for him to sit.
“Today’s meeting has two main purposes. First, to clarify our Group’s future organizational structure and senior management responsibilities. Second—and most importantly—to announce our Group’s Five-Year Strategic Development Plan!”
The moment “Five-Year Plan” was mentioned, everyone’s spirits rose as they hurriedly flipped open their meeting manuals.
Chu Feng stood and walked to a massive jade wall beside the conference table. This jade wall had been modified to function like a projection screen.
With a surge of spiritual power, light flashed across its surface, revealing a complex diagram filled with arrows and boxes.
The title read—Qingyun Strategic Development Group Organizational Structure Chart (Version 1.0)
“Everyone, please take a look!”
Chu Feng pointed to the chart and began his explanation.
“In the future, our Group will adopt a divisional management system! The Group headquarters will only be responsible for strategic planning, financial supervision, and personnel appointments!”
“Below, three core business divisions will be established!”
He pointed again, and three large boxes on the chart lit up.
“First, the Pill Division—fully under the authority of our Chief Product Officer, Comrade Leng Yanran!”
“This division’s main tasks are research, production, and sales! From high-end Special Supply Pills, to mid-tier Youth Editions, and even our upcoming Beggar Edition Qi Nourishing Pills that will sweep across the entire Eastern Wasteland, we must form a complete product matrix and seize every market segment!”
Leng Yanran nodded coolly, eyes burning with professional ambition.
“Second, the Mining and Equipment Division—led by our former Heishan Sect Master… oh no, Director Zhao Wuji!”
“This division will integrate our existing Heishan mining area and the sect’s artifact pavilion to achieve full unification of ore extraction, artifact development, and assembly-line production!”
“Our goal is for every cultivator in the Eastern Wasteland to wield our affordable and reliable Ascension-brand standardized flying swords and wolf-tooth maces!”
“Third, the Human Resources and Training Division—headed by Director Zhang Daniu!”
“This department will not only handle Group security but, more importantly, spread our corporate culture and fighting spirit to every family member and every newly joined ‘franchisee’!”
“We must let the belief that ‘struggling for the Group is struggling for oneself’ take root in everyone’s heart!”
Zhang Daniu jumped up, pounding his chest as he shouted,
“President Chu, rest assured! I’ll see it done!”
After finishing the explanation of the three divisions, Chu Feng pointed toward several smaller boxes.
“In addition, the Headquarters will have a Finance Department, managed by Elder Liu Changqing, to guard our purse strings!”
“The Operations Department, under Wu Hao, will handle all daily affairs! And the Public Relations Department, under Elder Wang Xuanfu, will maintain our external relations!”
With that, Chu Feng had built a clear, well-defined modern corporate structure right within a cultivation sect.
The elders and disciples present were utterly bewildered yet deeply impressed.
After introducing the structure, Chu Feng took a deep breath. The jade wall shifted again, revealing grander, more thrilling titles:
Qingyun Group Eastern Wasteland Development Five-Year Plan — The Three-Step Strategy
“Everyone!”
Chu Feng’s voice now brimmed with irresistible passion.
“Seizing control of the sect was only our first step! Our true goal is the entire Eastern Wasteland—the stars and the boundless seas!”
“Our five-year strategy consists of three steps!”
“Step One: Model Replication, Channel Penetration! We’ll launch the Ten Thousand Sects Franchise Plan! Across the Eastern Wasteland, we’ll develop ten thousand franchise partners just like the Luoxia Sect!”
“We’ll spread our Beggar Edition Qi Nourishing Pill production lines to every corner of the land! Every grassroots cultivator will become our loyal customer!”
“Step Two: Logistics Dominance, Standard Establishment! Once our franchisees cover the Eastern Wasteland, we’ll build our own Immortal Dao Logistics network!”
“With massive flying spirit boats linking every outpost—once we control logistics, we’ll control the lifeblood of the Eastern Wasteland’s economy! By then, all standards for pill, artifact, and talisman trading will be set by us!”
“Step Three: Brand Upgrade, Prepare for the IPO! Once we’ve achieved absolute monopoly across the Eastern Wasteland, we’ll elevate our brand!”
“We’ll package the entire Eastern Wasteland Qingyun Group into an unprecedented premium asset! Then we’ll realize our ultimate dream—”
He swung his arm dramatically. On the jade wall, four golden words burst forth, dazzling everyone’s eyes:
“Go! Public! And! Ascend!”
The hall fell into utter silence.
Everyone was dumbfounded by the grand vision Chu Feng had painted.
They suddenly realized how small their own ambitions had been.
While they were still content merely controlling the Qingyun Sect, President Chu was already dreaming of the entire Eastern Wasteland—no, even the Immortal Realm itself!
After a long silence, Liu Changqing was the first to stand, trembling all over. His eyes burned with fanatical admiration as he looked at Chu Feng.
“Pre… President Chu… In all my life, I’ve never truly admired anyone. But today, I do!”
“From this day forth, my life belongs to the Group!”
